UPDATED: Help me keep my game (and my sanity)

I am terrible at restarting. My latest game is at what can sometimes be a breaking point for me.
I started with one alien Sim (Carli). She had no real money, made some friends, took a student loan and earned a degree. She was seriously dating the neighbor when my other alien character 'came back into her life' and swept her off her feet.
So I introduced DaRin Orion in a sort of clumsy rotation. I also accidentally-on-purpose got Carli pregnant by the human neighbor before I made Carli and DaRin Orion an item instead.
Indeed, Carli was out on a date with DaRin Orion when she went into labor with her firstborn. A hybrid daughter named Savannah.
Deciding that sibling rivalry will make some good drama for the blog I'm now trying to develop; I quickly got Carli pregnant again. Enter newborn alien baby boy Jericho.
This offically makes my household four {if you don't count the dog} which seems to be my limit. It also gives me two preschoolers, soon to be two toddlers.
That is when the unimaginable happens. DaRin Orion goes to investigate the weird lights. No problem, I think. OPS.
But there's more. Next night, Carli returns from a long day at the science lab to get abducted herself.
Now MCCC informs me that BOTH Carli and DaRin Orion are pregnant by their abductions.
MCCC offers the solution (as well as the mechanisms by which this was possible in the first place). Simply end the pregnancies before they really begin, right? Only I feel like my beloved Sims have been violated. And the part of me that suffers chronic restartitis says: Yep time to throw that one in and move on.

Weirdly when I checked MCCC it seemed to say only the guys could get pregnant, obviously not what happened. I didn’t THINK I had played with those settings when it ruined my previous game too.
I can definitely empathize. The one time I had an alien pregnancy happen I chose to send the baby "back to the home world" (I think that's how it was put). It's a non-controversial way to deal with the situation, though the poor guy will still have to go through pregnancy and labor first, and I think you only get the option to do this right after the birth.
Edit: No idea how I missed the part about them both being preggers.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
then yes maybe you could send them back to home world or have some other household "adopt" the kids by transferring them to another household?

Can you adopt the kids away and they are still available?! If I knew that I would never sent a couple of babies my lead scientist got back to their homeworld! It would have been such a good plot, the children coming back all grown up being all recentful to their father
(you'd have to do it by manage households, not the adopt option on the computer)
And then that household could be part of the rotation if you found it fun.
In this case though, I think I’m going to pretend the abductions happened but the pregnancies did not.
I slept on it and then spent some time looking back over my blog and screenshots. I think I might be able to push through this one.

Deal is, DaRin Orion is the Sixamite equivalent of a prince (Da as in first, Rin as in heir). I am thinking maybe part of the agreement which allows him to stay on Earth is that Carli must carry an alternate heir through which they could carry on the bloodline (or something).
So, he got abducted back home and then she had to agree to go get implanted and to return the baby to Sixam.
But that does leave a pretty messed up family tree, with three half-siblings {since the pollination technician is listed as the father, ugh}
I was also contemplating possibilities of returning a grown abduction baby back into the story; but if I use the Return to Home World option, there is apparently a permanent alien baby in the family tree. I had though to just use CAS and play-with-genetics to create the grown baby when ready but you can see how this would not work.
So I'm back to thinking about just no abduction pregnancies.
