With both Alfred and Rilian asleep the women can head to bed.

Devin: Come here amore mio, you did so well today

Luna: You don't think our guests minded my pumping

Devin: Anyone that minded would have been told to leave

Luna: You did well to

Devin: I did didn't I. I'm parenting level 3 already, I'm amazing

Luna: I wish I had your confidence

Devin: Maybe some of it can rub off on you

Luna: I'm too sleepy to woohoo but thanks for the offer

Devin: Now you mention it I might be a bit tired

Luna: You, the Devin Villareal, tired?

Devin: I said might be

Luna: *chuckles* I'll take first watch

Devin: I want to help feed

Luna: I'll wake you up

Luna didn't sleep long before being able to pump. Afterwards she set about planting the new seeds from the Harvestfest gnomes. Alfred is the first twin to wake up but both boys wake up happy.

Luna: Schatz they're up

Devin: Coming

Luna: Are you hungry Alfred, I have some milk

Devin: Up we go Rilian

Luna: Here you are schnucki

Devin: You managed to get more milk out

Luna: I did, those cookies absolutely help

Devin: Careful Rilian, you'll get gassy sucking like that

Luna: I suppose they have to learn as well

Devin: They have to learn so much

Luna: Can you burp for mummy

Devin: Oh, I got a burp

The boys need their diapers changed. Luna and Devin take turns using the changing table. When they're not dodging waste they're playing with the toys on the playmats. Both Rilian and Alfred seem fascinated by the toys.

I present a 4 act tragedy. First act, Rilian unlocks reaching but cannot reach. Second act, Alfred unlocks reaching but cannot reach. Third act, Alfred is put in his crib while gassy. Fourth act, Rilian pees on Devin. It's a tough 4am. Luckily Rilian has the Self Soother quirk.

Devin and Luna manage to catch a few more hours of sleep before getting up. I forgot to check the garden when I relaunched the game so of course half the plants are glitched.

Devin: Morning Lu

Luna: Hey Devin, did you see the plants

Devin: What about them

Luna: Some seem to have reverted, so weird

Devin: Who wants some tasty formula for breakfast

Luna: Sorry I couldn't get milk schnucki

Devin: Alfred doesn't mind do you buddy

Luna: Rilian does

Devin: Maybe he just has one of those faces

Luna: They're identical and Alfred doesn't have a natural pout

Devin: Well mama has a plan to cheer everyone

Luna: The park

Devin: Yes! Don't you love it here Rilian, look at all the crinkly leaves

Luna: He looks worried

Devin: He is cautious I guess

Luna: It's okay Alfred, mummy is just putting you down for a second

Alfred: *whimpers*

Devin: Come on bambinos, we are building our resilience, let's be brave

Devin and Luna begin tummy time. Hopefully the sunshine and crisp breeze will inspire movement.

Paparazzi: Mrs Villareal! Look this way!

Devin: Not now Derek

Rilian: *fusses*

Devin: Oh picollo mio it's okay

Luna: Alfred seems to have lost patience with me

Devin: That can't be true

Luna: Can we swap

Devin: Are you making mummy feel bad

Alfred: *cries*

Devin: Nothing can be that bad

Luna: No, no, Rilian! Please don't cry to

Devin: Come on Alfred, just try turning, wiggle that butt

Luna: Can you turn for mummy

In the end after many tears both Alfred and Rilian manage to roll over onto their backs

Luna: Thank the watcher

Devin: Are you ready for home Alfred

Luna: I'm not sure they'll be hungry yet but they definitely need naps

Devin: Oh hey Ali, didn't see you at the park

Ali: Kids don't belong in magazines

Luna: Thanks

Devin: I'll be on set tonight

Ali: Thanks for the heads up Mrs Villareal

Devin: Nap time caro

Rilian: *snuggles*

Devin: I love you to

Alfred: *fusses*

Luna: Now Alfred, mummy's putting on the lullaby, don't worry

Alfred: *cries*

Rilian: *settles*

Luna: Alfred, schnucki please just listen to the music, you'll be okay

Eventually Alfred manages to fall asleep to Luna's relief.

As the boys nap Devin gets in her daily workout and boosts her follower number. Luna works on a scholarly paper. Being a professor she has academic commitments to keep up with despite family leave. She takes a break to pump and notices the dust piles. Vacuuming she feels herself becoming a neat sim.

When the boys wake up it's dinner time. Devin feeds Alfred then has some tummy time while Luna looks after Rilian.

Devin: Picollo mio I know being small is hard

Alfred: *WAILS*

Devin: You can already turn in one direction, that's halfway there

Alfred: *WAILS*

Devin: We seem to have hit a roadblock

Luna: How about you Rilian, are you also blocked

Devin: Are you sure you'll be okay while I'm at work

Luna: Yes

Devin: And if you need help-

Luna: I'll call their nonna, don't worry

Devin: Until later bambinos

Luna: Say bye bye mama. Mama is off to be a star and get lots of money for us

Devin: I can't believe we have to do a night shoot

Rudolphus: Could be worse, we could be in the rain

Devin: True

Rudolphus: I heard your wife had the kids

Devin: She did, they are gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as you make me look

Rudolphus: *chuckles* you know it

Devin: Seriously, you're an artist

Emily: Don't shoot the messenger

Devin: What

Emily: I was looking and you're actually going to be twinning today

Devin: Excuse me

Emily: Not like related twin, just like eerily similar looking

Devin: Thanks for letting me know, with twins at home I was bound to think I was imagining it

Emily: Selfie

After catching up with her colleagues on set Devin heads over to the director.

Devin: Tell me this is a family show

Norah: Of course

Devin: Then why do I have romance scenes with someone dressed exactly the same

Norah: I direct, I don't write, maybe the writer was just feeling-

Devin: Creepy

Devin: And who's under all that

Connor: It's me ninny

Devin: Well excuse me for being fooled by the fact that I can't SEE you

Connor: I can hardly SEE out of this

Devin: My script just said suspect, nothing about aliens

Connor: Honestly I don't know what the writer was thinking, but we best start

ACTION

Devin: The worst part is you thought you could get away with it

Connor: And I would have got away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids

Devin: I am a young adult

Connor: And I'm 574. You got lucky kid

Devin: Rot for all I care

CUT

Connor: Thank goodness that's over with, now I can change

Mina: Hey mirror

Devin: Get out

Mina: I'm half expecting someone to let slip that this is b-roll for an adult film

Devin: *shudders*

Mina: Let's get our non related clone flirt on

Devin: *laughs* don't make me laugh before we've even started

ACTION

Devin and Mina manage to make it through the scene.

Norah: Heads in the game ladies

Mina: She made me laugh

Devin: I'm focused, I'm focused

ACTION

Devin: The whole precinct came together to catch the suspect, and reveal the first alien to the world

Mina: Every one of you is to be thanked

Devin: Cheers to the best detectives around, and our lawyers

Mina: This doesn't have to be weird, just kissing ourselves

Devin: I blow myself kisses in the mirror

Mina: Well of course you do

ACTION

Ever the professionals, Devin and Mina shoot the romantic climax of the episode without a hitch

CUT

Devin: Next time I'm going to check who's writing before I sign
