A/N-This takes place in Paranormal Activity 3. Katie and Kristi have an older sister, Kira, who is eighteen and lives with the family. She is often in charge, because both Dennis and Julie work during the day, and Kira works nights. She also has a secret romance with Randy, Dennis' twenty-something assistant, which plays a large part in the story. I made Kristi seven, because it never really says how old she's turning in the birthday video, and I made Katie nine. I hope you all enjoy. xx.
Kira positioned herself in the small space of the closet, stifling her giggles. It was Mid-August, meaning the girls hadn't started up school yet, and Kira still had to keep an eye on them during the day.
Dennis was in the garage, working on his film as always. Randy had excused himself to use the bathroom, while really meeting up with Kira. She had managed to escape the grasp of the two small girls only for the moment, who seemed to think the coolest thing right now was playing with their older sister.
"Ouch!" she yelped as her hand caught on one of the metal shelf spikes.
"Hey, shh." Randy said, laughing at her. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
He connected their lips once more, his hands cupping her face.
It was stupid, really, that they were both legal adults who resorted to make outs in a broom closet while Julie was at work and Dennis wasn't paying attention. The girls too, had been momentarily sidetracked with lunch sandwiches Kira had cut into Mickey Mouse shapes. Kira knew Julie wouldn't accept this relationship, it was too similar to her and her first husbands. Julie had been only eighteen when she met the twenty-nine year old doctor. He promised to take care of her, and within a month of them dating she became pregnant with Kira. Ben, her first husband, stayed around until her third pregnancy, and then announced that he had actually been seeing his secretary on the side as well. He divorced her, but allowed her to keep the children as long as he didn't have to pay child support, or alimony or any of that. Julie loved her girls, and she agreed. Julie had always been wary of Kira and the other girls dating after that, especially with older men. Randy may have only been in his early twenties, but Julie wouldn't have allowed it.
Kira loved her mother as much as she loved Randy; she wanted both of them in her lives. So Randy agreed to be a secret, for now at least.
"Kira!" Katie called her name. "We're done with lunch. Where are you, anyway?"
Kira sighed, squirming around and trying to find the doorknob.
"Hurry up, I want to go play with Toby!" Kristi's little voice echoed throughout the home.
"Toby?" Randy asked, opening the door easily. He could see Kira scowl at him in the dim light, realizing he had been hiding it the whole time.
"Kristi's new imaginary friend. It's normal, right? Most seven year olds have them."
"Sure," he nodded. Kira laughed at herself, what did Randy know about kids? The only children he had ever really been around were Katie and Kristi.
"Randy!" The girls said, catching sight of him walking around the corner with Kira. They ran over and hugged him.
Kira smiled at the three of them, and went to go clean up their plates from lunch.
"Were your sandwiches alright?" She asked them.
They probably wouldn't hear her, not with the way they were both talking a mile a minute to Randy. Despite being at their house almost every day, it was a rare occurrence that he got to come inside and see the girls. They loved it when he did, however. Randy was like the cool older brother they never had, always telling them stories and bringing them stuff to play with.
"They were great!" Kristi said, smiling at Kira.
"Ooh, what did you guys have?" Randy asked. The husky voice he tended to use when he and Kira were going at it was gone, replaced with one light and airy, not quite his normal voice, but something he usually reserved just for the two girls still attached to him.
"Peanut butter and jelly!" Katie yelled, smiling.
"I want one!" Randy pretended to pout, and Kira laughed, getting out a new loaf of bread.
"Do you want it with Mickey Mouse ears, like theirs?"
"...can you do Jessica Rabbit instead?" Randy winked at her.
"Long bathroom trip." Dennis said, coming in from the garage.
"Sorry man, I got a bit sidetracked with your daughters." Randy laughed.
Dennis smiled, he loved it when they were called his daughters. Their real father had been such a bad man, Julie had told him. He was never around, never acted like he cared about the girls. Dennis was happy that he could provide some sense of a father figure for Kristi and Katie, who already called him Daddy. It was too late for Kira, though, and he was sorry for that.
"Do you want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Dennis?" Kira asked, handing Randy his sandwich.
"That's okay, Kira. I just came in to use the bathroom." Dennis excused himself. "By the way, Randy, would you mind finishing up the Fitzgerald's wedding photos for me, they'll be by in a half hour to pick them up?"
"No problem." He smiled as Dennis left the room. "Girls, as much as I adore the attention, you're going to have to let go now."
There was a chorus of 'aww' as the younger girls reluctantly untangled themselves from him.
"Thanks for the sandwich, Kira." He gave her a nod, and left for the garage.
"C'mon, Kira, I want to go see Toby!"
