Fanon:The Parker Family

The Parker family is a large family that resides in Willow Creek. The immediate family originally consists of patriarch, James Parker, his wife, Joanna, and their four children, Jared and Jacob the Twins, Julia, and Jenna. Joanna's younger sister, Jackie Rose, also lives with them.

They currently live in the Potters Splay lot of Courtyard Lane. Their house is two stories tall with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a basement, and a pool. As such, there is not much more room for anymore else, but James and Joanna are able to construct a fifth room for their fifth child, Jordan.

Background
Not much background is known about the Parker family. Although, based on their name, the family seems to be of either English or French origin. The only thing that is known about the Parkers is the common inheritence of orange-red hair and green eyes.

The Sims 4
At this point, James marries his longtime sweetheart, Joanna Rose, and they move to the Potters Splay on Courtyard Lane in Willow Creek. James begins working in the Business career while Joanna is an aspiring Writer. They eventually have four children. The two oldest children are twin sons, Jared and Jacob, with Jared being the older twin. Jared is very masculine as well as athletic. His twin, Jacob seems to be struggling with his sexual identity and leans more towards the feminine side. The next oldest is James's and Joanna's first daughter, Julia. She is described as being a naive but also always ecstatic. The youngest child is another daughter, Jenna and it is implied that she is learning her skills quickly. Joanna's younger sister, Jackie Rose, also moves in to help out with taking care of the children. Jackie also hopes that there won't be any more children to take care of, according to the description.

It's not too long after Jackie's moving in that Joanna realizes she's become pregnant again with her fifth child. While she has told her husband, she has yet to tell the rest of her family. The first person Joanna tells about her pregnancy is her neighbor and friend, Sage Cagle, as well as her nervousness about telling her family, especially her sister Jackie. Sage advises Joanna to tell her family and let the events play out. Joanna decides to take Sage's advice. She tells her family and they all react happily. Jackie even tells Joanna that she was joking about not wanting any more children to raise.

As the baby grows inside of Joanna, the other members of the family continue to grow as well. James works hard at filling out his daily reports by starting them when he gets home then finishing them when he wakes up the next morning. His hard work finally pays off when he is promoted from a Mailroom Technician to an Office Assistant. James celebrates his promotion by inviting over Riley Cagle, Sage's husband, for a round of video games. Jenna continues to develop fast on her skills. The most notable being able to use the potty without supervision. Jared, Jacob, and Jenna all start school at the same time where they begin to meet new people their age.

With the baby's due date quickly approaching, Jackie begins taking care of Jenna a little more during the evening. Joanna decides to take maternity leave a little early after she enters her final trimester. But as she is teaching Jenna to talk and have better thinking, Joanna is unknowingly listening to alternative music. She also realizes that there won't be any room for the baby. James fixes that quickly by having a nursery be built right next to their bedroom and right over the first story bathroom.

Suspecting that Joanna is about to give birth the next morning, James decides to take advantage of his family leave as well. Jackie also takes a day off from work just in case to help out. Then, just as Jared, Jacob, and Julia leave for school, Joanna goes into labor. James orders his children off to school so he can take Joanna to the hospital while Jackie looks after Jenna. It takes Joanna an hour to be processed at the hospital before their doctor, Imane Gherda, begins the delivery process. Although, the delivery didn't go very smooth because Dr. Gherda didn't know how to properly work the machine. In the end, Joanna is able to successfully give birth to a baby boy. They name their new son Jordan. While most of the family is happy about the new addition, Jenna is only saddened by it. James and Jackie cheer her up by playing and reading with her respectively.

The next day, James takes another day of family leave so Joanna can return to work herself. James takes care of Jenna and Jordan for the day. He spends it making sure Jordan is happy, teaching Jenna to have better communication and thinking skills, reading her to sleep when she gets tired, and finally cooking the family some grilled cheese for dinner. Joanna also returns home from her first day back at work. She reveals that she was offered a promotion to become a Blogger, but she turned it down because she wants to become a Stay-at-Home mother. James and Jackie say they fully support her and Jackie says she'll help provide for the family if it ever becomes desparate. That same day, Jacob invites over his new friend Karissa Gallagher where he trusts her with his biggest secret, that he identifies as a woman but no one in his family knows about it.

On Joanna's first day as a stay-at-home mother, she experiences a more stressful situation than usual. Between Jordan crying nonstop and Jenna's constant need for attention, Joanna almost has a mental breakdown but she is able to power through it until someone comes home. As a result, Jackie suggests that she goes on a date night with James. Joanna agrees and they go to the XP Mont restaurant, an experimental food restaurant. Although, the plan is for James and Joanna to spend time together alone, they run into Riley and Sage Cagle and decide to spend the rest of the evening with them. Meanwhile, at home, Jenna masters her potty skill, much to the others' relief.

On Saturday, Karissa Gallagher comes over, still racking her brain over Jacob's secret. Jacob gives more of an explanation to Karissa over a game of basketball. After the game and Jacob heads in to take a quick shower, Jared flirtatiously introduces himself. Jared and Karissa begin talking and flirting with each other, hitting it off well, while Jacob takes his shower. Karissa leaves before Jacob could witness his best friend with his brother.
