A/N-In a response to Hateme101, yes the Grandmother is still evil and still a witch, but if you remember in the movie no one in the family knew that until the very end. Julie got pregnant very young, and because of that Kira spent a lot of time with her grandmother as a little girl, and they have a very close bond. Julie isn't fond of her mother, however, because even when she's pulled her life together (she's with Dennis, she's doing fine on money, she's living on her own) Lois insists that she isn't raising the children right, and that Dennis isn't a good guy. Hope that cleared things up! I really hope everyone's enjoying this story, as the reviews have been really good so far and super nice to read. Thank you all for reading! xx.
Lois' car was gone by the time they got home, so Kira figured it was safe to go inside.
"Girls!" She called after Katie and Kristi. "Say thank you to Randy."
"Thank you Randy!" They chorused, hurrying inside in hopes of catching the last couple episodes of Scooby Doo.
"Those girls are addicted to the TV," Kira laughed. "But seriously, thank you so much."
"All I did was buy you ice cream." He laughed, blushing slightly as he leaned against his car.
"Well, thank you for that, too. But I was talking about spending the night with me last night, for sticking around and not calling me crazy. Thanks for that, Randy." She smiled at him, blushing a little bit herself.
"You don't have to thank me, Kira, I would do it forever to have you this happy with me." He smiled, kissing her gently.
"Someone's going to see." She sighed. "Look, I have to work tonight, so maybe afterwards..?"
He grinned at her, nodding profusely.
"I'm going to head home, if that's okay with you. I want to get cleaned up a little bit before I head back over here for work." He said, getting in the car.
"Okay," She smiled, biting her lip a little bit like she always did when she was nervous.
"Kira," Randy sighed, looking up at her. The sun made him squint, but the way it fell over her made him not want to stop looking, no matter how much it hurt. "Will you be alright here by yourself?"
"It's only for a couple hours, Randy. And, technically I'm not alone, Mom and Dennis are here."
"You know what I mean." He bit his lip, thinking about her alone with the girls in that house. Julie had probably already fallen back asleep, and Dennis would be camped out in the garage already.
"Hey, you've seen the horror movies. Nothing scary ever happens in the daytime, remember? I'll be fine. Now go take a shower, you stink." She laughed at him, and he smiled at her.
She was faking it, it was so obvious to see the fear huddling right under the skin, but he had to let her leave. He had to leave now, or he never would. Besides, he would be back in an hour, tops.
With a sigh, he drove out of the driveway.
"Kira, I need to see you in the garage!" Dennis called.
Kira had just finished setting up Scooby Doo on the TV for the girls, and they were contently sitting in front of it, playing with Barbie dolls.
"What's up?" She asked, taking the seat Randy usually sat in.
"Here, watch this." He looked serious, hitting the play button. Kira saw the girls' room light up the screen, the light from the fish tank illuminating the place.
She watched as Randy and her ran up the stairs, and she looked between the two girls. The camera caught them talking, then a kiss as he hugged her. Finally, it showed Randy pulling Kira down on top of himself to sleep before Dennis paused the video.
"Forgot about the cameras, huh?" He said, his voice stern. Finally, he could take it no more, and he started to laugh. "Oh my god! You should see your face!"
"What?" Kira said. "look, I can explain-"
"Kira, baby, I'm not mad. On the contrary, I've been hoping this would happen for quite some time. Randy's a great guy, and you're a terrific girl. I know him, and he'll take care of you. Besides, you make a cute couple."
"Thank you, Dennis." She smiled, hugging the man who had become so much like a father over the past couple years.
"Of course, just...don't tell your mom about this just yet, okay? She's had a bad experience with men, especially when she was your age. And Randy's quite a few years older-"
"I know what you mean, don't worry. And I'm, uh, sorry you had to see that." She giggled.
"Don't be, it was cute. Like a Hallmark movie right here on my little monitor."
