"I guess I am!" Nick got down far enough for Kat to jump on his back. "cheater!" he called back then went after her.

Sets Kat down on the bed after they entered the room. "You wanted to get a box? whats in it?"
 
 
 
Julia opened up the box and showed it to Kat.  Inside lay a small gold crucifix, the same one her grandmother had given her when she had been Kat's age  "This.  I'd like you to have it."
 
She took it out of the box and held it in her palm as she explained "She gave it to me when my own dad passed away.  It has a lot of love in it and love always keeps you close to those you care about."  She smiled then and unclasped the hook to put it around the girl's neck and then set it against her pajama top "Whenever you feel sad or alone... hold on to that and think of your dad and brother.  They'll be there."
 
She gave Kat a half grin and a little nudge to get her to smile too "And me too if you need me."
