Book 2: Starting Over; Chapter 6: The Romanized Allehs

Demian and Isi Alleh, the instant the upper class homes and religious buildings were finished, decided to stick with what they knew best to do. They started their own family farm.

Although they had less land to themselves in Rome than they had had in the desert, they managed to fit a similar-sized field next to their new home.

Their six children helped out when extra hands were needed, especially while Isi was pregnant with her final child. But for the most part, the family discovered that they had more free time to play with each other and teach the younger children early skills, such as walking and talking.

“Are our kids just smarter now, or would all our kids have walked and talked at such a young age if we’d had the time to teach them?” Isi wondered to her husband.

Demian smiled at his wife as she held their youngest child in her arms. “It’s probably our extra free time. I think we’re going to enjoy life here in Rome. Our kids have more opportunities here. Unlike back in the desert, if one or more of our kids don’t want to farm, they can find some other method of earning their way in the world.”

Isi cuddled the baby. “I enjoy our new clothes, too. They require more material, but I like the way they’re more modest. There’s not as much skin showing.”

“In the desert, these would have been extremely impractical and hot. We probably would have had several heat strokes each day,” Demian said. “But they’re better here in the cooler climate.”

“I think we’re going to enjoy life here in Rome,” Isi echoed Demian’s earlier words. “I hope the others turn out as lucky as us.”

Book 1: The Neanderthal Era; Chapter 4: The Allehs’ Founding

Demian Allah, Danny’s younger brother, changed his surname to Alleh when he started his own household. Not that he didn’t love his family still, but he wanted to distinguish himself. He started a trend for all male non-heirs with that decision.

He was worried about living completely on his own, so he talked his friend Isi Nanu, Ouran’s younger sister, into moving in and helping out. Isi brought her kid sister Ida with her.

When two unrelated Sims of an age to be looking for a mate live together, how can romance help but spring up? Demian and Isi fell in love, and upon reaching adulthood, they married. Ida moved out when the baby-making began.

Isi popped out a girl and a boy before begging her husband for a break before their next kid.

“How do women handle this?” she gasped, curled into a fetal position some hours after birthing their heir.

For a couple of years, Isi lived free of pregnancy sickness, caring for their two children and helping Demian out with the farming. Eventually, however, she was more than ready to have more kids.
