Allen Cummings, his wife Jane, and their twin sons Jared and Jason had been living contentedly in Riverblossom Hills for quite some time when Jane found out something shocking: she was pregnant again.
This, of course, should not have been a shocking thing. Allen and Jane were intimate much of the time.
But Allen had had a vasectomy after the birth of the twins.
Filled with shame, Jane left shortly after giving birth to a daughter, Sheila. Allen was heartbroken, but knew his children were depending on him.
After struggling to support his family through various odd jobs, Allen was finally promised a successful career in the Medicine track by a good friend. The only catch: the Cummings family would have to move to Blueberry Meadows.
Allen was a Knowledge Aquarius who'd finally gotten his dream job: working as an Emergency Room Tech in the local hospital. His life time goal was to some day be promoted to Chief of Staff. Though it had been several years after Jane's departure, he hadn't been on a single date. He had his eye on his neighbor Pheobe Chandler, who was also a Knowledge Sim in the Medical Career, but she was married.
Twins Jason and Jared didn't have much in common besides looks and aspirations (both were Popularity Sims). Jared was a Leo who wanted to become a celebrity chef. Jason was an Aquarius, like his dad, and wanted to be a Captain Hero. Another difference between the two was their sexuality: Jared wasn't "gay", but he had kissed Dominic Chandler.... Both teens had gotten jobs in their desired career tracks to help out their dad.
Sheila was the spitting image of her mom, Jane, but her dad didn't seem to mind. She was a very well-adjusted Cancer who learned new skills rapidly.
Ralph Jorgen, who knew EVERYONE in the neighborhood, quickly introduced himself to Allen. He invited his family to spend time with their new neighbor, but it ended up just being him and Allen...alone...by themselves.
Luckily, the meal was far from romantic.
