	If you maintain a 10-heart relationship with your spouse, already have the [[Farmhouse\|nursery]], have not [[Carpenter's Shop#House Renovations\|removed the crib]], and have been married for at least 7 days, there is a ≈5% chance that you will be asked if you want to have a child. If you agree, the baby will be born after 14 days and appear in the crib in the nursery. If you say "not now", there will be a ≈5% chance that your spouse will ask again, each night that you are married (and maintain 10 hearts).

Once this stage has passed, they will be allowed out of their crib for another 28 days to crawl around in your house during the day.
