Summary: Set during RE4. While Leon is off saving the President's daughter, his wife is at home taking care of their first child.
Claire Redfield-Kennedy sighed as she gently rocked herself in her rocking chair in her daughter's nursery. She gently shifted her arms, careful not to wake Anna. Claire gently began to hum a lullaby as Anna stared up at her mother with sleepy eyes. Claire carefully raised her right hand and gently rubbed Anna's cheek with her thumb, she smiled as the baby cooed. Claire spoke softly. "You know, Anna, you're probably going to be too young to remember this but I'm going to tell you how me and Daddy got married." Claire inhaled, looked up at the ceiling while trying to find the right words. "It was during the winter of 2002. Me, your Daddy and your psychotic uncle were infiltrating an Umbrella base. I'll tell you more about Umbrella when you're older. Where was I? Right. So, we get separated. I'm running around, looking around for Daddy when I met this nice woman. She said her name was Ada Wong. Between me, you and your uncle, that's a very silly name. Leon, your daddy, met her back in Raccoon. This is where I met Daddy as well. Me and Ada start talking about Raccoon mostly. Until she brings up your Daddy. It starts becoming more and more evident that Mommy doesn't like the way this woman talks about Daddy. She confides in me that she still has feelings for Daddy. Then I confided in her that if she comes within 100 yards of Daddy, Mommy's going to break both of her legs." At that moment, Anna cooed again, Claire smiled. "That's right. It's not nice to push Mommy's buttons. Your Daddy knows this very well unlike your stupid psychotic uncle who has no respect for personal boundaries or mood swings and will some day get his private area put in a vise. Now, where was I?
Oh, yes. So, mommy and the nice Asian lady soon part ways. Mommy goes to look for Daddy and guess who she finds?" Anna gurgled. "That's right! Daddy! Unfortunately, your Daddy was pinned down by Umbrella buttheads. Now, you should never use words like that unless your talking about Uncle Chris. Okay?" Anna rubbed one of her eyes, she was getting sleepy. "Don't worry honey. Mommy's almost finished. So, daddy was pinned down by Umbrella bad guys. Then Mommy came in and was pinned down as well. As Mommy and Daddy sat there, trying to figure out what to do, Daddy has a great idea. He pulls out a grenade, he then says 'Claire, will you marry me?'. Mommy couldn't believe it! I happily said yes and kissed Daddy. Daddy put the ring of the grenade thru my ring finger, pulled the grenade away and threw it. The bad guys were defeated and mommy and daddy got away. Oh, and so did your uncle. Mommy kept the ring daddy gave her and will always wear it. Mommy soon moved in with daddy, much to uncle's dislike which only made mommy happier. Mommy told Daddy about running into the Asian woman, Daddy was very surprised to hear about this." Claire got up from the rocking chair and walked around the nursery, rocking Anna in her arms. "Daddy soon got a big job working for the President and had to leave. But he promised that he would be back. Mommy soon found that the Asian woman was going to the same place as Daddy, much to Mommy's dislike. Mommy is very worried about Daddy right now." Claire gently placed Anna in her crib who had fallen asleep and began to suck her thumb. Claire leaned on the railing and continued to talk, more softly now. "Mommy is hoping that Daddy comes home soon. So, Mommy can tell him how much she missed him. And if Mommy finds out that Ada was all over Daddy, Mommy's going to kill that whore. And then kill Daddy with the first thing she can lay her hands on. Goodnight, my little angel. And say a prayer for Daddy. Because he's going to need all the luck in the world if Mommy finds out he slept with that whore."
Claire stood up and left the nursery. She went downstairs and poured herself a glass of water. As she turned from the sink, Claire stopped, frozen with fear. Albert Wesker sat at the kitchen table, grinning like a wolf. "What a beautiful bedtime story." Claire racked her brain, trying to remember if Leon had any weapons in the kitchen. Wesker took a sip of water from a glass he had gotten at some point before hand. Claire suddenly remembered there was a pistol in the pantry but the pantry was in between her and Wesker and she knew she could never make it in time. Wesker smiled as he set down the glass. "Loved that story. However, I couldn't help but notice that you left out some details of that story." "What do you want?" Claire breathed. Wesker chuckled. "Nothing. Just wanted to hear a good bedtime story." "Chris isn't here." Wesker removed his sunglasses and wiped them with a handkerchief. "Yes, I know. Don't worry. I'm not going to make your daughter an orphan." Claire slowly inched towards the pantry. "I emptied it." Wesker said flatly. He pointed to some bullets on the table infront of him. Claire gulped. Wesker stood up, he buttoned his coat. "Before I leave, Mrs. Kennedy. May I see her?" Claire went rigid. Claire could feel the rage boiling inside of her. Wesker, somehow, could feel it. "I won't harm her. I'm just curious." Claire nodded. "Okay, but I will have a gun." Wesker nodded as well. "Fair enough." He scooped up the bullets, put them back into a clip and inserted the clip back into its gun. He handed the gun to Claire who checked to see if the bullets were real. Wesker walked up the stairs, stopping to admire several pictures along the way and entered the nursery. He went around the crib and smiled again. "She is adorable." Claire cocked the hammer back on the gun. Wesker smirked. "That's my cue." He turned on his heel. He stopped infront of Claire. "Give your brother a message: Tell him, I'll be seeing him soon." And with that, he was gone. Claire set the pistol on a dresser and went into her bedroom, she curled up on the bed and went to sleep. She hoped Leon would be home soon.
The end
I will admit: I laughed as I wrote this. Which is not a very sane thing to do at 1:30 in the morning. I inserted the part with Wesker at the last minute. I don't know why. I really hope whoever reads this will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
