#dareendreamer

The Dreamer family starts off with Dareen, Darleen, and Dirk. But, after the awful kitchen fire at the Dreamer house, which Dareen blamed on Darleen and her awful cooking, the family started to drift. Darlene couldn't stand the constant fights and being blamed for the fire, so she spent more time at work. Dareen was always in a bad mood because of all his bills piling up and starting noticing his thoughts shifted to his caring friend Cassandra. When Dareen heard that Cassandra caught her fiancé cheating and ended their engagement, he couldn't help but wonder "what if?". Dirk spent most of his time at his girlfriend's, Lilith's house. Dirk would tutor her and vent about his troubles at home. After 4 awkward months Dareen decides to have a mature conversation with Darleen. They both agreed divorce was the best solution. Darleen moved out and focused on building her medical practice.

Dareen boosted up the courage to ask Cassandra out on a date and after 9 months of dating he popped the question and to his surprise, Cassandra said yes! Cassandra moved in and with her successful science career, Dareen was able to catch up on bills and focus on his art. Cassandra was definitely his muse, while she slept Dareen would paint beautifully crafted portraits of her. With her permission, Dareen started going around different art museums and seeing if any were interested in showcasing his art. Dareen got his big break at the Von Dough Gallery in Bluewater Village, they offered to show 4 of his artworks and they all sold, it's rumored that the very rich and famous town celebrity, Malcolm Landgraab, bought one for 450,000 Simoleons. Life was going great for Dareen, he was becoming a successful artist, had a beautiful fiancé, and his son Dirk got quite a few scholarships and was accepted to Sim State University. Dareen was so proud, they waited until Dirk finished his first year of school and when he visited home for the Summer, they had the wedding, at this point Dareen and Darleen were on good terms and she even attended the wedding. Dareen was happier than he ever felt and a few years later, during Dirk's junior year; Cassandra and Dareen announced they were having a baby girl. Daisy Goth Dreamer was one of Pleasantview's most prestigious babies. She definitely was spoiled from her successful parents and even her notorious grandparents Bella and Mortimer Goth. As Daisy grew from a toddler to a child, her love for soccer also grew and she would often practice with her brother Dirk and her uncle Alexander.

Darleen was at peace with her marriage ending and she truly did care for Dareen as a friend and was happy he found someone. She worked long hours as a doctor so she rarely saw friends or family. She mainly saw her mailman Sheldon Hanby as she was leaving for work each morning. The greetings started from casual waving and rapidly grew into small talk and eventually some flirting. He often crossed her mind while at work and she would blush about her little crush. After several months of flirtatious chatter she decided to be bold and invite him over her place for dinner. The two had a wonderful night and before leaving Sheldon gave her a compliment about the amazing pork chops she made for dinner. This is what won her over and what made her believe Sheldon would be the one. Years of insults about her food and being blamed for a fire that nearly killed her, almost made her give up; but here was a man that truly appreciated her cooking skills. Darleen and Sheldon dated for quite a while. She encouraged Sheldon to follow his dreams and join the police force. Once her son Dirk had been married and she finally felt like she didn't need to worry about anyone or focus on anything else, she agreed to marry Sheldon. They got married in a small intimate setting at home with just their loved ones. Darleen was finally content with her life and they agreed they didn't want children. Darleen's medical practice was going very well now that she hired Dustin Broke to help her run it. Sheldon quickly moved up in his career and was promoted to Police Chief. Most of the time the lovely couple was at home babysitting Darleen's grand-child Michael, or just cuddled up watching movies together.

We'll catch up with Dreamers in Season 2.
