Fanon:Jessica Curious (DeSims)


 * ''Not to be confused with Jessica Curious

Jessica Curious (née Grunt) was the daughter of Buck and Jill Grunt. She was important in the Curious household as the wife of Vin Curious and as mother of Sander and Kenneth Curious.

Before joining the family
Jessica was born as the first and only child of Buck and Jill Grunt. She grew up in her grandparents house, living together with her uncle Ripp, aunt Margaret and their daughter Mandy Grunt. Despite her family not being known for posesssing the alien gene, Jessica was surrounded by many aliens in her family. Her aunt on his father's side, Stella Grunt was married to her uncle Tank and produced an alien son named Buzz jr.. Her uncles Johnny and James Smith on her mother's side were both aliens, inherited from her grandfather Pollination Tech 9 Smith. Johnny had two alien sons Mick and Keef, while James was the father of a human daughter.

As a toddler Jessica grew close to her grandfather, who would often tell her how special she was. Hearing this from him meant the world to her, especially since he had so many grandchildren to say this to, but somehow he chose her. Jill taught her how to walk and potty trained Jessica, while her father taught her how to talk. Jessica was close to her mother, but her father didn't seem as interested or happy with her as her grandfather was. He told Pollination Tech 9 to stop calling her special and let her just be a normal child, which PT9 often ignored. Jessica became good friends with her cousin Mandy, as they were similar in age and shared a room for a while, as their house was not build for two families to live. Although Jessica knew that her father was crazy about her mother, he did not like the Smith family much and would try to avoid Jessica from seeing them, which led to multiple fights between Jill and Buck. When PT9 was dying, Jill had to convince Buck to let Jessica see him as he had asked for her. Jessica, barely being a child met with PT9, where he told her that she was a very special girl, with a gift that she should use for good as his finger lovingly touches her forehead. To this day Jessica swears she saw a little glow coming from that finger, before her grandfather passed away. Jessica was quickly pulled away from her grandfather and was brought out of the room as people took care of him.

When getting ready to start school, Buck and Jill decided that private school would be the best option for Jessica. Jessica didn't seem to mind too much and enjoyed learning both in and out of class. She got fascinated by nature and the circle of life, which Buck often blamed on her grandfather passing away so close to her. Again he wasn't really happy about this, but there isn't much he could do about it. She spends most of her free time with her cousin Mandy or enjoys cooking with her mother, which she often calls potion making.

Moving on to high school, she loses touch with Mandy as she starts dating and can only talk about boys, while Jessica is more interested in finding answers to long lost mysteries and wonders if in some life she might have been a witch, as she feels a strong connection to some Sims but she doesn't know why. She often keeps hearing her grandfather's voice in her head, guiding and encouraging her to explore the things she is questioning. This obviously means that Jessica is often called the odd one or the nerd in high school. She doesn't really mind and keeps exploring as per her grandfather's request. Finally Jessica finds out that she might be paranormally gifted, and that all those voices or things she feels all the time are actually other Sims present that had not moved on yet to the Netherworld. Even though she keeps exploring, she decides to keep this discovery for herself, as she knew her parents wouldn't approve.

Adulthood
After graduating, the next logical step for Jessica was to start a career in the paranormal. She is a bit nervous to have to go public with this and fears what her parents will say about this. As expected her parents are not happy and tell her she is wasting valuable education with something as silly as "ghost hunting". Jessica tries to explain to them that that's not what it is, but drops it as they seem not to get it.

Exploring and indulging in her new lifestyle, Jessica meets Vin Curious out in the town. The voices immediately tell her that she should introduce herself to him so she does. Vin is an attractive and handsome Sim, which Jessica has not seen much of in this town. He seems charmed with her as well as he asks her out on a date. The two figure out that Vin is a little younger than Jessica and just graduated high school. They like each other a lot and start dating.

The two fall in love and Vin ends up proposing to her, much to Jessica's excitement. Around this time both her parents die of old age, which saddens her but also gives her some relief and ability to live her life truly. Now being engaged to Vin, she realizes that she needs to come clean to him about her powers. Surprisingly he was very sweet about it and said that even though he personally doesn't really believe in all that stuff, he respects her for doing so. They get married and Jessica is overwhelmed with the incredible amount of love the Curious members have for each other. Not long after their wedding night Jessica finds out they're expecting.

During her pregnancy, Jessica has a hard time staying connected with the spirits and is afraid that she might have lost her power. When her son Sander Curious is born, she is thrilled to meet the healthy boy. She's even more thrilled when the night after his birth, both her mother Jill and grandfather PT9 come to her in a dream, telling her how proud they are of her and her family. PT9 even winks at her and says he knew that she would be able to do it. Not sure exactly what he was talking about, Jessica hugs both of them before waking up. Happy her gift is back, Jessica focuses her time on an more alternative lifestyle for her family, to much disapproval of Vin, who quite likes the finer things in life as he is used to it. Although the two never really fight, they have several arguments and disagreements, mostly on how to raise Sander. Jessica teaches Sander how to walk and talk, but thinks that they should let him become potty trained on his own time, Vin disagrees and teaches him this as he is sick of changing any more diapers. When Sander is old enough to go to school, Vin wants him to go to SimCity Academy, a private school that most Curious members have gone through. Not agreeing with the elite flair the school gives off, Jessica disagrees and prefers public school for him. Although Vin is mostly gracious, he keeps insisting and even telling her that she went to the same school as well and turned out fine. Not wanting to fight any longer about this, Jessica agrees.

When Jessica hears about a fire that burned down a house and killed two Sims, she gets curious and sees if she can get in touch with the victims. When she hears that the cause of the fire seems to be unknown and the police is at a dead end, she is even more excited. She learns that the two deceased Sims are Blair and Ana Mace. Hoping to learn more about the two so it would be easier to find them, she visits the ashes of the house, but nothing happens. When she reads in the paper where the service will be held, she decides to show up and pay her respects. Here she meets Léon Darga and immediately feels a pained presence in him, but she can tell that it has nothing to do with the two departed. When she pays her respects, she can sense that something isn't right and because of that she lies and tells him that she is a therapist, and if he ever wants to talk he can call her.

Gathering more information about the two, she can feel she is starting to get close. Jessica makes several connections with spirits that have heard of the two, but they're both still fragile beings, hard to contact without going through Grim first. Working day and night to develop her powers, Jessica feels like she might be onto something revolutionary. Until one day... everything goes silent. Panicking that all her work was for nothing at first, Jessica quickly realizes what this might mean. And she turns out to be right, as Jessica is pregnant for a second time. Although neither Jessica and Vin had expected or planned a second pregnancy and enjoyed Sander getting older and more independent, they're happy to welcome their second baby. Impatiently Jessica goes through her pregnancy, blaming her alternativeness for not taking better care of her contraceptives.

When Jessica finally gives birth, they welcome a second baby boy they name Kenneth. As expected the spirits return to her and tell her to go see Léon before it is too late. When she arrives at his home, she sees police in fron of the house, talking to his wife Emma. Jessica talks to one of the agents and learns that Léon passed away in a strange accident. Suspicious, Jessica leaves. Not sure what else she can do, she focuses her time on Kenneth, who is growing faster than she remembered Sander would and teaches him his toddler skills. As she contemplates to reach out to Emma, Ana appears to her in a dream warning her to stay away from Emma. When Jessica asks why, Ana walks away and tells her to look out for her son Kevin, as he will come one day. Confused, Jessica agrees -as she has no other choice- and lets go of her years of research.

Jessica focuses back on her family, as well as her marriage with Vin and as Kenneth is becoming old enough to start school, Jessica tells him that she really wants him to go to public school. Kenneth says he prefers that too over private school and Vin can't do anything but agree.

Elderhood
Growing older, Jessica realizes she has not been the best mother. She has neglected both her sons in different ways, but always thought that after helping the lost souls, she would have enough time to spend with them. Now that time seems to be running out for her she is not so sure if she made a mistake. She contemplates if she should leave the paranormal life behind and for a while really tries to. She spends some more time with Sander and is happy to hear that he has found a girlfriend. It doesn't take long before he announces that the two are engaged and Jessica finally meets her future daughter-in-law Gretchen Chin. It is only when Kevin shows up at her doorstep, that she is reminded about her dream with Ana in it. He tells her that he has heard of what she can do and he needs to know what happened to his parents, the real story. Jessica is hesitant at first, but knows that this is the moment Ana talked about. She tells Kevin to bring some items from his parents if he has them and to come back the next nightfall.

Kevin returns the next night with three items and asks her if she could also look for her adoptive father Léon, to which Jessica agrees. She tries her best to find Kevin's parents and although the items do help, she feels that something is blocking the connection. Kevin, pressuring her to keep digging makes Jessica go a bit further than she normally would and suddenly she finds herself alone in a black room with a dark voice present. As Jessica tells him to make himself known, he laughs and tells her that the Lord of the Death does not need to do such a thing. He asks her why she so rudely entered his home and Jessica explains her situation. Grim sighs and exclaims that he knew this day would come. He tells Jessica that he will allow the boy to talk to his parents 2 minutes each through her, but that's all he can do. As Jessica channels this through, she hears Kevin's voice in the distance agreeing. Blair, Ana and Léon all flash past in front of her eyes until the room gets dark and empty again. The next thing she knows is being awakened in her chair by a crying Kevin, who hugs her and thanks her a million times. Not sure what happened, she tells Kevin that it is late and he should go. They will discuss this further soon, but for now he must keep whatever happened here to himself.

As Kevin returns the next day, Jessica had some time to think and process what happened that night. While Kevin is still too emotional to tell Jessica exactly what happened while talking to his parents, he mentioned that for a split second someone offered him a deal, for the right amount of Simoleons. Realizing that both Jessica and Kevin have talked to the great Grim, Jessica wonders what he wants. She decides to contact him one more time and gets in touch with him a lot quicker than before. Grim is reluctant to talk to her at first, but when Jessica mentions the possible amount of Simoleons he can receive, he steps out of the shadow. Still hidden in a big cloak and carrying his scythe he tells Jessica that he is willing to let one of the three souls come back to their world if the price is right. When Jessica tells Kevin, he is thrilled and immediately says he can pay whatever amount Grim would like and would even pay for all three. Unfortunately Grim doesn't budge and tells them he will be releasing one spirit only. Kevin thinks long and hard and realizes that Léon is the one that deserves a chance on a new life, as his last one was filled with pain and regret. However Kevin only agrees to this if he is restored to a healthy body. Grim tells him that he can't do that, as he has been a zombie for too long, but does provide a counter offer. He will reincarnate Léon into a new body, mostly resembling him when he was actually Ramin Tang, the name he had in his first life. Giving Léon the opportunity to start off as a baby, and giving him all the new chances he deserves. The two come to a deal and Kevin is instructed on how and when to find Léon. As Jessica is ready to break off the connection, she hears Grim chuckle and say "see you soon, Jessica!".

After wrapping all this up, Jessica feels like she might have had enough of the paranormal for a while. Sander announces that Gretchen is expecting and not long after her grandson Elijah Curious is born. A great little fellow with a good sense of humor She tries her best to bond with Elijah but notices that Sander has a hard time letting her. It is taking her a long time, but after many happy afternoons with Elijah it seems that Sander is a bit more at ease. In other dream, she sees PT9 coming to her and telling her it's time to go. Not sure what he means by this Jessica just stares at him, to which he gently grabs her hand and guides her into a bright light. Jessica died of old age.
