The Strode Family;

Laurie and her three kids: Jamie, John, and Karen.

------------------------------------------------------------

The Hardest Part Is Over;

Summary: We've seen multiple timelines throughout the Halloween series, involving Laurie Strode. But what if there was one out there she got a real happy ending with Jamie, John, and Karen?

One where Michael’s rain of terror ended at the Haddonfield Memorial Hospital on November 1st, 1978. 

Timeline notes:

Karen is four years older than John and was born in 1980. 

She and John have the same shitty dad that Laurie left shortly after John was born. 

A couple of years later she met Jimmy Lloyd again and the two became friends, and eventually got married. Having Jamie when John was nine.

------------------------------------------------------------

“Okay, so, you press ‘X’ to jump—” John gently led Jamie's hand to the X-button on the controller, not taking his eyes off of the screen as he explained the controls to her. “Good, that's good. Now, for a bigger jump—or a double jump, as some call it—you have to press the x-button twice.”

Jamie nodded to show that she was listening, allowing her older brother to lead her. Trying not to let the family dog, Sundae—a puppy that their neighbors the Carruthers had gifted her on her last birthday—, distract her (which was hard considering he kept trying to steal her baby doll so that he could chew on it). 

Both unaware of the fact that their mom, a now forty year old Laurie Lloyd (née Strode) who was now the headmistress of John’s school—Hillcrest Academy—was watching them with a smile from the kitchen. 

“What’re they playing?” Her husband and Jamie's father, Jimmy—fresh in the door from his shift at the hospital, asked pouring himself a cup of coffee. 

“Some game John bought. I think it was called Scooby Doo and the… Cipher Place?” The blonde scrunched up her nose, scratching her brain for an answer. 

Even then she wasn't quite sure that she had remembered the title right. 

But that was alright, because just then Karen swooped in with her car keys and bookbag in hand. Running late for her psychology class at the local university. “It's Cyber Chase, not Cipher Place.”

Jimmy tilted his head to the side, a slightly amused smile making its way onto his face. “I thought John said he was ‘too old’ to like Scooby doo.”

Karen rolled her eyes. “He did, but he didn't get it for him. He got it for Jamie because she asked to play with him and he didn't want his other games to scare her. Gotta go, my alarm didn't go off and I lost track of the time.”

“Alright. Have a good evening, Kare-bear. Don't stay out too late.”

“No promises, mom.” The younger blonde called back, rushing out the door. Jimmy sighing as they watched her go. “They grow up so fast.”

Laurie groaned. “Don't remind me. I can't believe John is going to be joining Karen at college soon. It feels like it was just yesterday that I was helping Karen support his little head as she held him for the first time and now my little girl is going to be a child psychologist. And John is dating.” 

“I don't think I'm gonna survive it when Jamie starts complaining that she's too old to be seen with us in public.” Jimmy was joking but his tone was a bit too serious for his wife's liking. 

“Don't jinx it. I'm still holding out hope that she skips that particular phase.”

“2 out of 3—”

“Twice is a coincidence and three times is a pattern. There's still every chance she won't take after her siblings in that aspect.”

Just then, Jamie and John both cheered and high fived about something that happened in their game. Doing their little secret handshake as they celebrated. 

“You were saying?”

Laurie just sighed. 

Hopefully Jamie's ‘I hate my parents, they're embarrassing’ phase lasted shorter than Karen and John’s did and hopefully it was much, much, much shorter than Jimmy and Laurie's own phases (after that Halloween night neither of them liked to think of) did.
