Keith met a nice girl named Misty. They seemed to hit it off right away. Knowing that his mother wouldn't live much longer and that she'd love to be at his wedding Keith and Misty's relationship went really fast, and before long they had a wedding date planned.
The wedding was beautiful. Everyone loved it, especially Tami who was overjoyed to see her only son married. This must have been a little too much excitement for her, though.
During the reception Tami had a heart attack and died. This once happy occasion quickly turned into a crying fest. Misty seemed to not care and continued to socialize and dance with the guests. Keith didn't know it yet, but their marriage was cursed.
Even their honeymoon didn't go as planned. Keith took Misty to Al Simhara, Egypt, but Misty was not thrilled. She was expecting France, not the sand ridden sleep in a tent Egypt. To make matters worse, Keith brought his crazy sister along. Needless to say, their trip didn't last long. Keith and Misty's relationship was already on the rocks.
The arguing didn't stop, even when Misty proclaimed she was pregnant. Mostly they argued about Jamie still living at the house. Misty wanted to send her off to some mental hospital where she would be looked after. Keith refused, remembering that he promised his mother he'd take care of Jamie. Plus, she was his sister, even if they didn't interact much. At one point Misty told Keith it was either her or Jamie, and he had to choose. Without hesitation Keith chose his sister. Misty stormed up to her room, not talking to Keith for weeks after.
Jamie found amusement in all the arguing. She didn't care, she had Seth and her pets to keep her company. But she did find something suspicious one morning when Misty was making breakfast. She saw her put something in Keith's food that she didn't put into her own. Suddenly Jamie was worried, what if Misty was trying to poison her brother? Surely if Keith dies than Misty will get everything and she'll end up in a mental institution. Jamie couldn't have that, so she went straight to her brother.
"My snake saw Misty poison your food," Jamie told her brother. Keith just smiled, "alright little sis," and patted her on her head. Keith didn't believe her, but it did plant a seed of doubt into his mind. He hadn't been feeling well recently. Could it be? He couldn't shake the feeling that maybe Jamie was right, even if she did hear it from her snake. That morning he put a bite of food into his pocket. When he had the food tested at the science center he found that sure enough there were minute amounts of poison in his food. Keith was outraged, Misty was trying to kill him.
Keith confronted her, and she admitted everything. A huge argument broke out, and it was decided that Misty would sleep in another room, and she was banned from making food. The only reason she wasn't kicked out was because she was still pregnant. Things settled a bit after Amy was born and Misty started work again. Keith spent a lot of time with his little girl, pretty much ignoring Misty altogether.
Time passed without much more drama. Jamie graduated from high school and become a scientist. Misty and Keith didn't talk much, but one afternoon Misty interrupted Keith's reading. "I need a favor," Misty said. "What is it?" "Well, it's my sister. Nina. She got into some trouble and needs somewhere to stay. I was thinking...sense your sister lives here...that maybe Nina can come stay here for awhile. Just until she gets back on her feet." Keith thought back to high school. Nina was in a few of his classes. Actually, he had a bit of a crush on her even though she was a few years younger. Keith agreed to let Nina move in.
One day while Misty was out Nina and Keith were reminiscing about high school. Keith mentioned that he had a crush on her, only to find out Nina felt the same way. After a long pause they kissed. Sparks flew and Keith felt different that he ever had with any woman before. He was in love with his wife's sister, and looking into Nina's eyes he knew she felt the same. Every time Misty was out of the house they would sneak around together. Sure Jamie knew, but she didn't care. It wasn't until Nina whispered she was pregnant that Keith knew they had a problem.
When Misty found out she was furious. "How dare you sleep with my husband?" she demanded. "Well you don't!" was Nina's reply. Both decided they could never forgive each other, and shortly after Misty moved out with her daughter. Keith was heartbroken about losing his daughter Amy, but he had another baby on the way, this time with someone he actually loves.
