First of all this was already a planned part of Aph and Miguel's lore I just hadn't thought of explaining until right now.

So I have a Sims household with Aph, Miguel, Didi and three kids yall are yet to meet because I'm so picky I can never draw them how I invision them.

The oldest, Minerva, middle child, Javier and youngest, Mateo.

So I was decorating Aph and Miguel's room in this household when I come across a very specific item that melts my heart and also hurts my soul because of lore reasons.

I was gonna add a picture of said object but couldn't find a screenshot ANYWHERE.

It's basically a shadowbox of baby shoes that go from like really small baby to toddler to little kid.

And my immediate reaction is I SHOULD ADD THIS BECAUSE THEY APPRECIATE THEIR BABIES SO MUCH :]

To I SHOULD ADD THIS BECAUSE THEY APPRECIATE THEIR BABIES SO MUCH 😭

So I'll explain a little about Aph and Miguel and their problems having kids.

First of all Aph has a magical injury/scientific injury inflicted by the green goblin of her universe that isn't the main problem BUT IT DEFINITELY ISN'T HELPING AND MAKING THEIR PROBLEMS WAY WORSE.

Second and the main issue, basically both their DNAs are fucked in opposite ways.

The best way to explain it is using chocoflan as an example.

Both of them were already chocoflan before transforming into spiderpeople.

For Aph the chocolate part stayed the same while the flan part was changed.

For Miguel the flan part stayed the same while the chocolate part was changed.

So they are both still human but on opposite sides if that makes sense which makes it very improbable for them to have children.

How do they find this out? Why does this affect Aph so much?

Aph already had this notion of Miguel not wanting kids because of Gabi, she wasn't sure, she just assumed but she was already mentally prepared on not having children with him aside from her adopting Didi after they married and for the most part she was ok with that.

Until they finally talked about it.

Miguel alluding that he maybe would want kids and Aph being completely fucking gobsmacked because hell she was prepared to leave her dream of having a big family just for him.

But that reignited that dream.

And that dream was gone the next moment as they find out this hard truth, they had been trying to conceive with no luck when finally they decided to get checked out and that's when they find out about this and Aph is completely heartbroken.

Me and IRL Didi were talking about this and she posed a very good question "Why is Aph being stubborn about having biological children when she already adopted Didi? Wouldn't she ok with adopting more kids?"

And this is the answer, she would be ok with it, but at the time, her dream of being a mom had been reignited, she thought she wouldn't even have one because she had assumed Miguel wouldn't want them, so of course after having that dream rekindled, finding this out broke her heart.

But this isn't a sad story, I couldn't do that to them :'3

Originally they would only have Minerva because of this, but then I created Javier in an AU and the IRL Didi and Nico got attached and then I created Mateo in another AU and I got attached.

So here you get how the fuck that happened.

First one being Minerva, their miracle baby, they didn't think they could even have one and she arrived as a surprise one year after they got married, so much of a surprise that when Aph did the pregnancy test she just looked at it went "No" and threw it in the trash.

It wasn't until Miguel found the test, had a freak out thinking it was Didi's and almost had a heart attack that he put two and two together and found out it was Aph's.

Between Minerva and Javier they had another one but it didn't last long, they don't talk about it much it's a sore spot between them both, though they both still remember and grieved together when it happened, Aph bought a pair of baby shoes that she keeps as a memento for what never was, to honor them, whoever they could've been or were.

For Javier, he was basically an experiment of Didi's.

So basically Miguel and Aph had a talk regretting that they couldn't have more children, at least in my AU both of them want a big family, so Miguel tells Didi and they decide to play mad scientist and fuck around with Miguel's genetics again, he's already part spider what could be worse?

And fuck around and find out they do because quickly after, four years after Minerva, Javier is born.

And lastly but not least since he is my favorite, Mateo, Mateo was basically an after product of whatever the fuck Didi and Miguel did to Miguel's body because he is born SIX YEARS after his older brother, TEN YEARS difference with his older sister.

By then Aph finally has enough and both her and Miguel decide to be more proactive when it comes to contraception because holy shit all their babies were kind of planned surprises (except Mateo he was full on a surprise LMAO) and plus they are getting older (Miguel is 46 when Mateo is born) having another baby IS NOT something they want anymore at all because of Aph's health and because they don't want to have a kid and not be able to give them their best self.

They are EXTREMELY cautious when Aph is pregnant during all her pregnancies because again, they didn't think they would have one, three is incredibly miraculous for them.

Minerva was the one that generated them so much anxiety because she was the first one, the first baby they were both going to have so being first time parents to a baby was incredibly stressful for both of them, it didn't help that Minerva decided to take on Miguel's genes and be fucking huge.

Javier was the one that gave them anxiety but instead because he was such a complicated pregnancy and furthermore was a sickly baby and toddler so Miguel and Aph really couldn't catch a break here, also was born like two weeks early and really freaking small, so yeah, Javier will forever be the troublemaker even in this aspect.

Mateo was the only one they could kind of enjoy since this wasn't their first rodeo and he was a very calm pregnancy, they could simply take it slow and be able to enjoy it more, they were still cautious just in case though!

But at the end of the day, no matter how much they struggled and stressed and sobbed, they finally have their babies and oh do they appreciate them so fucking much.

Fun Facts About The Kids

★Minerva was originally named Marianne as a play in the name Mary Jane but I felt like it didn't fit her so it got changed.

★Javier is named that because it rhymes with Gabriel (Miguel's brother) and they both have kind of similar nicknames (Javi and Gabi)

★Mateo was a name that they recycled from naming Minerva, this was gonna be her name if she was a boy.

★Javier is the shortest of ALL the kids including Didi.

★The order of height with the O'Hara-Stellas goes Miguel, Minerva, Mateo, Didi, Javier and Aph.

★Minerva despite being an extremely muscular girl LOVES dressing girly, adores it, would steal Aph's clothes if she wasn't as tall as she is.

★Javier has some of Didi's powers because of a lab accident, Aph and Miguel both were completely freaked out because again he has always been the most sickly from all the siblings.

★Mateo is the closest in appearance to Aph, while the other two look like carbon copies of Miguel with features of Aph's, Mateo is mostly her.

★Minerva is Mayday's girlfriend in my AU :3

★Javier loves science like his dad and Didi, definitely wants to be like them when he grows up.

★Mateo didn't want to be a hero like the rest of his family until way later, in that way he fits the Peter Parker archetype more then the rest of his family.

★Aph chose all the kid's names, that's what Miguel wanted and he only gave his opinion when asked directly if he liked or disliked a name.

★Aph calls all the siblings her estrellitas, because if her and Miguel are la luna y el sol, then their children are the stars.

★Miguel is the parent that they call when they are sick, Aph is the parent that they call when they are scared, for example if one of the kids threw up its Miguel they want for help but if they think they saw el coco or they had a nightmare they go to Aph.

★All the siblings prefer Miguel's cooking, Aph understands why.
