4 years later
Sitting in my room I looked at a picture of me and Jason when Anna came skipping in my room with her favorite stuffed animal, which was a tiger she named Boo. She got on the bed with me and looked at the picture and she asked tilting her head to the side "Daddy?"
Laughing I thought to myself "You'd think that! They look so much alike, the way she smiles and the way she looks at me and everything else she does is just like Jason. Except for when she laughs, than she looks just like Jake."
Putting Anna on my lap I said "No, this is cousin Jason."
Anna and me heard a car come into the drive way and we walked over to the window and she jumped to try to see out the window and I laughed at her as she complained "I'm too short!"
Truth was Anna was tall and strong for her age but she was also very light. I picked up Anna and balanced her on my hip and we saw Jason and Kenny exit the car and me and her went to get the door.
When I opened the door I put Anna back on her feet and Jason saw her and went "Anna Lyn Black! I missed you monkey!"
Jason picked up Anna and hugged close and saw Boo and asked happily "You still have the tiger I gave you!?"
Smiling she corrected him "His name is Boo."
Kenny laughed with me and hugged me. Kevin looked around the corner and saw Kenny and shouted "Uncle Kenny!"
Kenny picked up Kevin and hugged him and held him as I asked "You guys are sure it's ok with you if you babysit?"
Jason and Kenny both smiled and Jason answered "Yeah! We love Anna and Kevin, they are like our children!"
Anna holding Boo close said "Yeah mom go! Kenny and Jason can take care of us."
Anna gave me a crocked smile and I thought to myself "God she looks so much like Kevin! I swear that Anna is the reincarnation of Kevin."
I left the house and went to work as being a waitress. After work I went to my friends house who was selling puppies, and bought one for Anna, and one for Kevin.
When I got home Jason meet me at my car and picked up one of the puppies and went "Awwww, you got Huskies like Star!"
I walked in the house and Kenny and Anna came running over to me with Kevin not far behind them. Laughing I noticed that Anna's hair was crunch and I asked "Kenny did you crunch Anna's hair?! It looks cute!"
Getting down to eye level I demanded in a soft tone to Anna "Turn around."
Anna spinned and her brown hair bounced behind her. Kenny answered while Ann spinned " Yeah, I thought it would look cute and I needed the practice."
Jason came in with the puppies and Kevin looked at me happily and asked "You got us doggies!?"
Smiling I answered "Sure did!"
Kevin picked the boy dog and Anna looked at me excited and thanked "Thanks mom! They are so cute!"
While Anna and Kevin played with their puppies in the living room I started supper and I was making spaghetti and Jake came home and asked happily "You get the dogs?"
Smiling I pointed to the living room and he saw the dogs and joked "Oh god! It's like having 2 Stars!"
Playfully I smacked him with a spoon and he laughed and Anna looked at Jake and got a running start as she ran to Jake and Jake caught her and picked her up and kissed her cheek and held her.
Anna has always been a daddy's girl and Kevin has always been a mommy's boy.
Jake walked into the living room with Kevin and he sat on the floor and Anna ran over to play with her puppy she called Punky, Jason most likely gave her that idea to name her dog that.
Anna and Kevin put the dogs in the fenced backyard and the puppies ran around chasing each other, it was so cute! Anna and Kevin walked to the table hand in hand and as usual Anna sat next to Jake and Kevin sat next to Anna and I sat next to Jake.
A few hours later it started to snow so we let the dogs in and they shook and the snowflakes went all over Anna and she giggled along with her brother and they went to their rooms to play. Anna's dog Punky relaxed on Anna's bed as Anna played with her Barbie dolls, and Kevin's dog Rebel sat next to Kevin as Kevin played with his action figures.
Soon it was 10 and I went into Anna's room and she was pushing her dolls around in a little pink car and she saw me and asked "Bed time?"
Laughing as she pretending to pout I answered "Yes, it's time to go to sleep. Daddy will be in a few minutes to kiss you good night."
Anna being very independent which is never a bad thing changed herself for bed and she slept in a oversized black shirt that was once Quil's. She brushed her teeth and got into her bed and as she turned on hr side I kissed her cheek and Punky moved up to sleep closer to Anna and Punky slept next to Anna on her big bed.
Jake came in and smiled at me and walked over to me and gave me a quick kiss on lips. I walked over to Kevin's room and he was petting Rebel and he smiled at me and said "Hi mommy!"
Smiling I asked "Ready for bed?"
Smiling he answered "Sure am."
Tucking Kevin into bed I kissed his forehead and he smiled and commented "I'm happy your kisses aren't itchy like daddys."
Trying my best to laugh I said "Night Kevin."
Yawning he said tired "Night mommy."
Walking to Anna's room to check on her I saw Jake sleeping next to Anna and I smiled and assumed that Anna must have seen the man in her closet, well we don't know what it is. It's not a real man is all we know.
Next morning I woke up and everyone was already awake and eating! I jogged to the kitchen and saw Jake doing the dishes. Anna came over to me and told me "Saw that man again last night."
Sitting in a chair I put her on my lap and told her "Honey, that man can't hurt you."
Looking up at me she told me "I know that mommy, but this man looks scary!"
Smiling I asked "What does this man look like sweetie?"
Widening her eyes she told me "He has hair about to his chin and has dark hair just like mine, and he's pale,brown but sometimes green eyes, he has a piercing in his nose and his lip. He has a tatto of a star on his wrist and he is about as tall as daddy!"
Jake looked at me horrified and I gave him the same look! She just described Kevin! After she went into the living room with her brother I pulled Jake into Anna's room and asked while panicking "Do you think Anna can see him?! Like not just see him...but like see...?"
Jake finished my sentence "Does Anna have a special gift? She might. I mean your grandmother is and so are you somewhat. I mean she never seen Kevin before, how could she know what he looks like."
Looking at the closet I thought to myself "Do I smell axe or something?"
Sniffing Jake I said "It's not you...and it's not as strong."
The closer I got to the closet the stronger the smell was and as I stepped in the closet it smelt like was right beside me and I got a cold chill and it was really warm in Anna's room which was rather strange and I heard a very little whisper say "Alyssa, I missed you."
Running out of the room I ran into the kitchen and Jake came after me and asked "Honey,what's wrong?"
Looking at Anna to make sure she wasn't listening I whispered so only Jake heard me "I heard Kevin call my name in that closet."
Jake looked at me confused and said "I didn't hear anything."
Walking over to the phone I called my grandmother and she came over in half an hour and she knocked on the door and when I opened it I saw my granny with braids in her hair and she had feathers in her hair,she's very into her culture which is all Native American!
My grandmother hugged me and hugged Jake and asked "Where is Anna!?"
Anna popped her her head around the corner and my granny saw her and greeted "Anna! Come here honey!"
Jake and Kevin went into the backyard, Jake didn't want Kevin knowing his sister might be special at only 4 so Jake took him to the backyard to play catch with Rebel. My granny asked interested while holding Anna "So what does this man look like sweetheart?!"
Anna gave the description as she did the first time and my granny,Anna, and I walked into Anna's room and my granny put Anna down the second she walked into the room, since she could see,hear, and feel ghost she could sense Kevin.
Anna looked at her bed and said "He's on my bed mommy."
My granny looked at the bed and gave a quick gasp and said "Kevin you are here! Why?"
Anna looked at me and answered "Cause he wants us to be like his family since he never got to had one since he died too young."
Amazed my granny looked at Anna and agreed "Yes...that's right. He likes it here cause simply you are his dream family."
My granny sat on the bed and asked "So...Kevin, why this room?"
Anna answered again "Cause I remind him of mommy when she was my age and cause I'm the only one that can see him."
Amazed again my granny looked to her left as if waiting for an answer and she said "Correct. He comes in peace, he would never hurt anyone here."
Punky came in the room and started looking at the bed past my granny and looked at the empty space as if someone were sitting there watching her. Anna picked up Punky and walked off with her to play with her outside along with Jake and Kevin.
Getting off the bed my granny said "Alyssa, Anna is very powerful! I didn't hear ghost until I was 16, and that was only a few words. Alyssa, Anna is very gifted."
Jake heard it all and leaned against the doorway and asked "So she can really see Kevin?"
Correcting Jake my granny said "Yes Jake, she can see Kevin. And I think more."
Interested I asked "More?"
Walking forward my granny asked "Do you mind if I take her for some test tomorrow?"
Jake and me agreed and told Anna when we called her in "Honey, we think you might... be special,in a good way. So great granny is taking you to get test done."
Tilting her head to the side confused Anna asked "Special in a good way?"
Smiling my granny got down to eye level with Anna and explained "Anna, you can see Kevin when you go in your room every single time, that's a very special natural talent."
1 week later
The mail came and as I looked through the mail I saw the test Anna took and I ran over to Jake and said "The test is back!"
Quil and Anna were in the backyard and Quil was pushing Anna on the swing and he had a smile on his face the whole time! Kevin was in her room sleeping since he had a fever so we ripped open the letter and Jake read the letter first and he sat in a chair and Jake told me "They say that Anna has a very powerful gift. So I guess she really is able to see the unexplained.
Anna came in the house when it got dark and she was tired so she went to bed and slept with her partner in crime Punky. Quil asked "So is she really able to see ghost?!"
Nodding my head I said "Yeah, and from what they say she has one dame strong power."
