Well... yeah, women can have more than one inside them when they're pregnant, but that's pretty uncommon. Humans just have a lot of kids. The average is two or three per couple in America, but in some countries they'll have eight or nine.
But parents don't leave because of that! [She rushes to correct his assumption, as if it's offensive to some parents lurking behind a couch behind them or something.] Most parents don't... leave at all. When you have a big family, everyone helps take care of each other, anyway.
Family is supposed to be loyal to each other above anyone else. The expression is that blood is thicker than water, and family is who you're blood-related to. Not that that's held up that well for me, personally.
