Rich was finally promoted to be a world-renowned surgeon at the hospital. While his work hours weren't cut by much - he still has to work 4 days each week - he is satisfied with his accomplishment. Most sims take almost their entire lives to achieve such a goal, and he was still relatively young. He was glad that he would be able to spend time with his sons, and future children, without having to worry about career advancement.
By this time, of course, Peter had started school. He was intelligent, with a certain knack for cobbling together unusual items, but neither of those skills applied themselves well to his homework. Rich used his newly found free time to tutor his son after class, and help him with the piles of homework that the teachers
heaped upon him each day. After dinner, Rich would retire to his bedroom to study new research in the medical field, while Peter would play with his blocks 
set. It was his favorite toy by far; he even spent more time with it than Jason had with the xylophone. Some days, Peter would bring home friends from school. Most of them had heard of Rich, the doctor who had treated their parents or siblings, and were excited to be tutored in the basics of science and mathematics by such a logical parent.
Shortly before Jason was due to begin school, Jamie found out that she was pregnant again. The pregnancy went well, and as her due date approached she asked Rich to examine her and determine the sex of the baby. He found that the baby would be male, a determination that was met with some degree of sadness. Both of their previous children had been boys, and they had both been looking forward to the possibility of having a girl this time. But as the pregnancy progressed, the sadness was swallowed up by the excitement of having another child to love, whatever the gender. As the first pangs of labor hit, Rich hailed a taxi and escorted his wife to the hospital, leaving their two sons to take care of each other at home.
