Fanon:The Rose Family

The Rose family is a small family that has since blended themselves into the much larger Parker family. The only known members are Joanna Parker and her younger sister, Jackie Rose.

Jackie and Joanna initially live together with Joanna's family in Willow Creek. However, Jackie has moved to Oasis Springs in order to accept a promotion. She has also taken her niece, Janet Parker with her.

Background
Similar to the Parker family, not much is known about the Rose family's background. They seem to be of either English, Scottish, French, or German descent as their surname is derived from the rose flower. The other only known thing about the Roses is that blonde hair and blue eyes seems to common features, strongly hinting towards a northern European background.

The Sims 4
Joanna and Jackie Rose are born to the same set of parents, with Joanna being the older one of the two. Joanna later meets James and marries him after what is implied to be many years of dating. Joanna and James later move into Potters Splay, Courtyard Lane in Willow Creek. That is where Joanna wishes to begin her career as a Writer while Jackie begins working as Police Officer. That is also where she raises her four children with James. Joanna's children include twin sons, Jared and Jacob, oldest daughter, Julia, and youngest daughter Jenna. After Jenna's birth, Jackie decides to move in herself and help out, on the condition that there won't be any more children.

Joanna, however, gets pregnant for a fourth time. While she does tell her husband and her neighbor friend, Sage Cagle, about the pregnancy, she hides it from the rest of her family, out of fear that Jackie will move out. But, Joanna takes Sage's advice, and she tells her family eventually. Jackie reveals that she was just joking about moving out because of another baby, much to Joanna's relief.

In fact, Jackie begins to help take care of her niece, Jenna, a little more as Joanna's pregnancy goes underway. While on maternity leave, Joanna gets James to build a nursery next to their bedroom after realizing there won't be much room for the baby. Joanna also helps Jenna in her talking and thinking skills while unknowingly listening to alternative music.

Jackie decides to take the day off from work just in case Joanna goes into labor on her expected due date. When she does go into labor, Jackie distracts Jenna so Joanna and James can get to Cut-n-Gut Hospital. Joanna's doctor, Imane Gherda, isn't the best doctor, but she is able to successfully deliver her new son, Jordan Parker.

Joanna decides to return to work following Jordan's birth. Joanna is given a job promotion to Blogger, but she decides to turn it down in favor of becoming a full time stay-at-home mother. She is supported by James and Jackie, who also promises to help provide if times are desperate. However, Joanna is stressed out on her first day as a stay-at-home mother by Jenna being needy and Jordan crying nonstop. As a result, Jackie gives Joanna the night off and suggests a date night with James. Joanna goes out with James to the XP Mont, an experimental food restaurant. While she initially spends it with James, she runs into Riley and Sage Cagle. Joanna and James then decide to spend the rest of the night with them. Meanwhile, at home, Jackie witnesses Jenna master her potty skill.

A week later, Joanna introduces herself to two different sets of new neighbors. She first meets David Wren, a single bachelor who moves in across the street. Before she leaves, Joanna invites David over for dinner to meet her family. She then meets Monique Browne, a recently divorced mother who is raising her son, Damian Browne, alone in a house down the street. Seeing Damian is around Jenna's age, Joanna invites Monique and Damian over for a playdate.

When David comes over for dinner, Jackie instantly strikes up a conversation. They spend most of the night talking with a couple of flirts throughout. The next morning, the Rose sisters help Jenna master her thinking skill by teaching her more shapes. Joanna decides to celebrate this achievement by becoming Best Friends Forever with James for helping Jenna. After Jackie leaves for work, Monique and Damian come over for their playdate. As Joanna and Monique watch their children, the two adults become friends themselves.

The next day, Joanna helps Jenna master her imagination skill by reading her a bedtime story for naptime. That same day, Jackie goes across the street to visit David Wren when she sees him doing some yardwork. Jackie starts talking to David until she notices a wound on his hand. She tries to kiss it better, but that leads to her impulsively kissing David. Although, David reciprocates by returning a kiss. Jackie feels a little flustered and decides to head home, but not before giving David her phone number.

The next morning on a Saturday, Jackie invites David over to talk about the kisses they gave each other yesterday. Once David is over, Jackie greets him with a kiss on the cheek before guiding him down to her bedroom so they can talk in private. Jackie tells David that they should take their relationship slow so they can get to know one another. David agrees with her and they spend the rest of the morning just talking to one another. In the early afternoon, David has to leave and he kisses Jackie goodbye before leaving.

That same evening, Joanna is told by Jared that he's been seeing someone and that she and James will be meeting his girlfriend soon. Joanna tells Jared that she's excited about meeting his girlfriend and proud that he's ready to make such a step. Over the next few days, Joanna not only masters her cooking skill while making breakfast, but she also meets Karissa. Before meeting Karissa, Joanna gets a call from Sage to visit her and her home soon. Afterwards, Joanna meets Karissa when she sees her caring for Jordan. She instantly hits it off with Karissa before informing Jared that he's in charge after school so she can visit Sage. By the end of the day, Joanna and James tell Jared that they like Karissa, resulting in Jared's happiness.

The next afternoon, Joanna heads over to the Cagle house as suggested. There, she learns from Sage that they plan on moving because Sage has accepted a huge job offer. Happy by this news, Joanna wishes them the best and spends the rest of the afternoon getting to know them a little better. Meanwhile, Jackie meets and hits it off with Karissa after Jackie unknowingly interrupts a conversation Karissa was having with the Twins while they do their homework.

After returning home from the Cagles, Joanna tells James about their move, ignoring her husband's promotion. Later on before she goes to bed, she suggests to James that they throw a neighborhood-wide going away party for the Cagles, to which he completely agrees. Joanna then invites over David and Monique the next day after everyone has left. Joanna learns that both of them already know about the move, which also has left Monique feeling a little sad. After quickly cheering her up, Joanna tells them both about her plan of throwing a surprise going away party for the Cagles and that they are both invited. Both David and Monique agree to it and tell Joanna it sounds like a great idea. Joanna then plans the party for that Saturday. Later that evening, Joanna cooks a grand ham dinner in order to tell her family about the going away party. She also adds that only the neighborhood is invited and no one else. Jackie then realizes that she'll be seeing David at the party.

Soon afterwards, Joanna starts feeling stressed while planning for the party. She decides to destress by watching the premiere of the popular reality show, Waltzing with Celebrities. However, the televison breaks, leaving Joanna more stressed, but the repair man is able to fix it and Joanna is able to finish the premiere. Jackie also watches the premiere with James after she gets home from work.

The next day, Jackie is eager to see David at the party the following day. She is so eager that she decides she wants to see him that same day. Jackie goes to get ready for date, but is stalled by Jacob, who wishes to tell her something. However, when Jacob sees her all dressed up, he tells her it can wait. Jackie then asks David on a date to the XP Mont. Their date is successful and Jackie feels enamored when she goes home.

On the day of the Cagles' moving away party, Jackie remembers that Jacob wanted to tell her something and goes to talk to him before the party begins. They discuss Jacob's love life next to the lit fireplace while Jackie remains unaware that it is Jacob's sexual identity that he wants to talk about. After the party begins, Joanna learns from Sage that Eugi is very upset about the move. Jackie flirts and kisses with David at the party, which eventually leads to them having sex in the middle of it. After they finish, Jackie asks if they are officially dating to which David says yes. Joanna also learns from Eugi that Julia already cheered him up. Near the end of the party, Jackie, along with David, have a conversation with Monique. At the very end of the party, the Cagles thank their neighbors before they head back home to finish packing.

The following day is unusually warm for a day in fall. Joanna tells Julia that she is proud of Julia for helping Eugi with his problem with the move. She also tells Julia that she is growing up fast. Later in the day, after Joanna and Jackie bug Jared and Karissa, Jackie informs Joanna about her recent relationship with David. In response, Joanna tells her sister that she is happy for her. Even later, Joanna finds Jenna in her bedroom with Jacob, but she just assumes they were playing. That evening, David comes over to surprise Jackie and to have a friendly conversation with her, James, and Joanna. Jackie even asks David if he wants to spend the night, to which he says yes. The next morning, Jackie wakes up David so that they can tell Jared and Jacob about their relationship before they go to school. Jackie feels happy that her family is so approving of the relationship.

A couple of days later, on a freezing fall day, Joanna meets Crystal Lawson, Jessica Lawson's mother. Crystal rudely introduces herself and yells at Joanna because Julia didn't invite Jessica to the Cagles' going away party the other day. Joanna tries to explain that the party was only for the neighborhood, but Crystal rudely ignores Joanna and leaves. Joanna feels peeved after that encounter before worrying about what she should do. Ultimately, Joanna tells Julia that she shouldn't hang out with Jessica if she doesn't want to, much to Julia's relief. However, James suggests to Joanna that they apologize in order to teach Julia something. Joanna realizes this and agrees.

Although, when Joanna heads to the Lawson home with James, they are met with more hostility from Steven Lawson, Crystal's husband and Jessica's father. Joanna argues with James towards Steven before Crystal overhears and demands them inside. However, when inside, James and Joanna just argue some more with Steven and Crystal. James and Joanna eventually and leave. When they get home, they tell Julia that the Lawsons are nasty, jealous people and they teach her that she shouldn't be friends with such people.

Some time later, Jackie thinks she's about to receive a promotion. Although, she continues to work as normal so she doesn't jeopardize the opportunity. She investigates an arson scene, interviews witnesses, processes criminals, researches evidence, and updates the police database. However, she doesn't receive the promotion by that evening. Also that evening, Joanna calls Sage to ask how her move went. Joanna learns it went well and that Sage and Riley have welcomed a daughter, Karli, into the world since the move. Joanna congratulates Sage and goes to tell James about it after hanging up. The next day, Jackie starts to feel antsy about the possible promotion, but she continues to hide it. She goes on patrol, stops a fight, issues a citation, and then goes on an APB where she arrests and books the suspected arsonist. By the evening that day, Jackie is offered a promotion. She immediately accepts it because she thinks it can unveil more opportunities. However, the catch is that she has to move to Oasis Springs in order to take it. Jackie tells her entire family about the promotion and her plan to move. Her entire family is accepting of the idea.

On Saturday, Joanna catches Jared helping out with Jordan. Thinking it's not suspicious at all, Joanna merely asks Jared if he plans on inviting Karissa over for Harvestfest dinner. Jared tells her that he doesn't know and leaves to ask her right now. Returning home from doing overtime, Jackie realizes she has to tell David about the promotion. She subsequently asks him on a date to the XP Mont. That is where Jackie tells David about her promotion as well as her wish to maintain a long distance relationship with him. David says the same thing and agrees that they should do it.

On Sunday, James, Joanna, and Jackie learn from Karissa and Jared that Karissa is pregnant. Karissa also tells them that her parents kicked her out of the house. Feeling sad for her, James and Joanna allow Karissa to stay. While Jackie goes to show Karissa her bedroom, Joanna and James lecture Jared to focus on school despite all the events happening. After she set up a cot for herself, Jackie is approached by Jacob. He asks her if he can move with her to Oasis Springs after graduation. Jackie asks why he would want to that. At that moment, Jacob comes out and explains his identity crisis will be resolved because the move will help start his life as the woman he is. Although surprised, Jackie is accepting of everything, but she advises Jacob to come out to his parents and to think about moving before actually deciding to move, leaving Jacob defeated. Later on, much to Karissa's ire, Joanna and James tell her that they will be meeting with her parents for a meeting.

After everyone has left the next morning, Joanna meets some woman named Sharon DeMonet. DeMonet explains to Joanna that Julia's test scores have given her the chance to attend DeMonet's School for Exceptionally Gifted Children in Windenburg. Joanna is unsure about the idea, but DeMonet tells her to think about before leaving. Joanna makes sure that she tells James about DeMonet and Julia's opportunity before they are about to leave to meet the Gallaghers that evening. James says they will tell Julia after the meeting and the two of them leave to finally meet Maggie and Lawrence. James tries to inform Maggie and Lawrence about Karissa staying with them, but Lawrence cuts James off, stating that Karissa is forever banned because of what she did and that he and Maggie completely agree with each other. However, Maggie stays silent and Joanna decides that they will leave because there's nothing else to discuss.

When they return home, James and Joanna tell Karissa and Jared that she is forever banned from her home. As a result, Joanna and James allow Karissa to stay as long as she wants. After James lectures Karissa that she should focus on school until she decides what to do with the baby, Joanna reminds Jared of the same thing. Ultimately, Karissa decides to keep the baby, causing Joanna to ask if she is certain. Karissa replies yes and thanks her and James. The next evening, James and Joanna tell Julia about her chance to attend DeMonet's school. Julia immediately tells her parents that she wants to attend. James asks if she's certain and Julia explains that she's been friendless ever since her fallout with Jessica. Once again feeling sad, Joanna says she'll call DeMonet in the morning to give her a response. Julia thanks Joanna and James as a result.

As Harvestfest approaches, Joanna calls DeMonet about Julia and then goes on to decorate the house with bunting. By Harvestfest, Joanna pleases the Gnomes with pie, but Jackie makes them angry when she gives them a toy. Jackie kicks one out of frustration, causing all the Gnomes to become angry. She is then approached by Jacob who lies to her about James and Joanna completely knowing and accepting of his identity and his plan. As such, Jackie is skeptical. Meanwhile, Joanna finishes the Grand Turkey Meal and calls everyone to it. Over the meal, Jackie says she is thankful of Joanna. After the meal, Jackie informs Joanna about Jacob's sexual identity crisis. Joanna confronts Jacob with this information. She explains that she will never stop loving her child or keep them from being their true self. She also adds that she trusts Jacob's plan because she trusts Jackie. Jacob thanks his mother for being accepting. Joanna then asks Jacob his true name. She tells Joanna that it is Janet.

Half a week later, Joanna finds and cleans some bassinets for Karissa so she can have a home birth. After Karissa gives birth, Jackie and Joanna meet their new relatives, Brody and Nicole Parker. Several weeks later, Jackie and Janet are about to leave for Oasis Springs. Joanna says goodbye to Janet, Jackie, and Julia, who is about to leave for DeMonet's school in Windenburg. Jackie also invites David over so they can say goodbye to each other one last time. By the end, they all say goodbye to each other.
