Did anyone else ever wonder about this? I was reading their thread on the Other Characters board but that place is pretty dead. So I thought I'd bring it up here.
After watching Mrs. Newton, Peaches, Mrs. Prezzioso (I may be spelling it wrong) and Carol have babies, it's obvious that the BSC wasn't too young for pregnancy talk. Even BSC Little Sister had one (Nancy becomes a big sister). So I always wondered why Anne didn't have Mrs. Pike have another. I know they have enough kids already, but I kept waiting for the day to come.
Do you think it would've been an interesting twist? Or would poor Mal be stuck taking care of it?

I think if she did have another baby, it would be after Mallory is away at Riverbend. So it would be, maybe?, Byron and Vanessa taking care of a baby. They were the ones that stepped up after Mal left.

I think that either Dee or John got "fixed" after Claire, I would hope so. |

Its not so unrealistic. I mean they could have easily had another child after Mallory went away to boarding school and the next in line (Vanessa and the triplets) would help take care of it. And the Mr and Mrs Pike were still youngish.  |

I think that either Dee or John got "fixed" after Claire, It makes since if they got fixed. Dee hasn't been pregnant for five years. Even if they aren't sterilized, I'm sure they are going to wait until Claire reaches middle school to try again. |

I don't think they'd have more kids because 8 kids is definitely more than enough and they barely take care of them (they just rely on Mallory, later Vanessa and the triplets, and the babysitters). I think it's extremely likely that Dee or John (or both) got fixed after having Claire because they didn't have any more kids for five years.

It never really made sense why they had that many kids either. Like if they'd had multiple multiples, or the triplets were last that would make sense. Or if they were those 'we'll stop when God wants us to stop!' people. But it was never really explained? So really, they could have had one more and it wouldn't have been surprising.

Most people I know would have stopped after the triplets, because they'd have their girl and their boys. Maybe they wanted more girls to even things up, lol.
