#conflicting canon details since laurie wasn't implied as being the mistake with the whole condom company bit

In your verse, I just realized Jackie & Donna are pregnant at the same time (although a couple months apart). Was this coincidental or did you plan this? I just think that is so fun for them LOL.

Oh, I planned it. :) They're a little less than three months apart in age, and they're in the same grade. Becca was born on December 5, 1985, and Kate was born on February 28, 1986. There's definitely some pregnancy bonding, but the gang is drifting a bit by the mid 80s. Only KB and ED are in Chicago at this point, and ED just arrived. JH are in Milwaukee, and Fez is still in PP. They move to Chicago in the late 80s, btw.

The rest of the pregnancies are a bit more scattered, for the most part, with some overlaps.

Adrian (FL, born July 18, 1984), Hannah (KB, born November 23, 1984). Hannah was rightly held back (she's so close to the cutoff date, anyway), so they're in different grades.

Hallie (LOC, born December 26, 1988), Ashley (FR, born May 4, 1989). They're technically in the same grade, but they have completely different social circles.

And Becca and James are borderline Irish twins, much like Laurie and Eric (totally different dynamic, though). Becca was certainly planned, unlike Laurie (she was mostly planned, since they wanted to have kids in the very near future. Kitty just got pregnant fast, almost immediately, hence the shock). James was not planned, like Eric, but both JH and RK were planning to try again soon anyway. But since Becca was born in December, and James was born in October, they're only a grade apart.
