The couple got out of the car and headed towards their selected restaurant. As they drew closer, Maria became ecstatic. They were at the Grill 13 which was Maria's favourite restaurant in all of Raccoon City. They walked in, were greeted by a waiter who escorted them to their table. He gave them a menu each.

"Would you like something to drink while deciding?" The waiter asks them.

"I'll have a scotch please and what would you like to drink dear heart." Wesker asks.

"I think I'll have a white wine please." She says to the waiter.

"I'll bring your drinks to you." He walks off to get their drinks.

Wesker and Maria were at a secluded table so they would have some privacy. Maria took his hand in his. "This is nice, Albert. Thank you so much for taking me here."

Wesker smiled at her. "No need to thank me Maria. I enjoy spoiling you, my dear."

"I love you Albert."

"I love you to Maria." They lean in for a quick kiss and look at the menu.

"I don't know what to choose. They serve all my favourite dishes. What are you having?" Maria asks Wesker.

"I think I'll be having the fettuccini. It is one of my favourite dishes."

"What is fettuccini?"

"It's a pasta dish. It's quite delicious."

"Ok, I trust your judgement. I think I'll have the same." The waiter approached them with their drinks.

"Are you ready to order." He says, pen and paper at the ready.

"Yes we'll both have the fettuccini, please." Wesker says to the waiter and hands them his and Maria's menu.

"Excellent choice. Your meal will be with you both shortly." He walks off.

Wesker and Maria talk about various things and drink their drinks while waiting for their meal. Their meal came a few moments later. They enjoyed their meal while continuing their discussion from before. After finishing their main course, they order chocolate cake as a desert. They finish that, Wesker pays for the meal and they head back to Maria's apartment. He walks her to her door, she unlocks it and turns to face him.

"Do you want to come in for a coffee or some wine?" She asks him giving him a flirtatious look.

Wesker can't say no when she pulls that trick so he replies, "Sure why not." They both walk into the apartment and Maria locks the door behind them.

"Why don't you make yourself comfortable. What would you like to drink sweetie, coffee or wine."

"I'll have a wine please, dear heart." He smiles at her. She smiles back and heads into her kitchen to get the drinks. While she's doing that, Wesker is lost in his own thoughts.

I can't believe how lucky I am to have someone like her in my life. I won't ever forget the moment I met her. She was just as beautiful that day as she is now. I just hope I don't ruin things. If I ever hurt her, I will never forgive myself. She looks so beautiful tonight. I don't know if I'll be able to control myself.

While in the kitchen getting the wine glasses and the wine, Maria has thoughts of her own. God he looks so damn irresistible. I nearly jumped his bones right there when he came to pick me up. I wanted to wait before we got that intimate but I don't think I'll be able to hold back. That cologne of his, overwhelms my senses. I can only imagine what hides beneath all those layers of fabric. At that particular thought, Maria blushes. She quickly grabs the glasses and wine and heads into the living room to join Wesker on the sofa.

"Sorry it took long, I couldn't find the glasses." She says as she pours out the wine and hands Wesker a glass.

"That's quite all right dear heart." He says as they clink their glasses together in cheers and take a drink. When the glasses are empty, Maria takes both of them and places them on the coffee table. Wesker notices Maria is sitting closer than before. She strokes his cheek.

"I had a lovely time tonight, Albert." She says continuing to stroke his cheek.

"I'm glad." He runs his fingers through her hair, their faces now only a centimetre apart that they can feel each other warm breath on their skin. They look into each others eyes and the self restraint they put up break quickly.

A very heated, passionate kiss quickly takes place between the couple as they get lost in the throes of passion. They move this little party to Maria's bedroom. Wesker lays Maria on the bed, removing each other's clothing in the process. With all clothing removed, they look into each others eyes asking the other if they are sure this is what they want. The look on the other's face tells them what they need to know and Wesker and Maria spend the rest of the night making love. After they have finished, Wesker wraps his arm around Maria and she lays her head upon his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.

"Wow that was amazing." Maria says running a finger across his chest.

Wesker chuckles and kisses her forehead. "I agree with you there, dear heart." They share another kiss. "I love you, Maria."

"I love you to, Albert." They both drift off to sleep, looking forward to the future.

TWO YEARS LATER

Wesker and Maria have now been seeing each other for two years. They have lived together for a year and the couple are still going strong. It is now valentine's day and Wesker has big plans. He has asked Chris to join him at J's bar. Wesker sits waiting at a table waiting for Chris with two beers. He is only kept waiting for two minutes when he sees Chris approaching.

"Hey Albert." Chris says shaking Wesker's hand and sitting down, taking a drink of the beer.

"Thanks for coming, Chris."

"No problem, you sounded quite serious on the phone. Is everything alright?" He asks Wesker.

"Yeah everything is fine Chris thanks." He says smiling at Chris then taking a drink.

"So you said on the phone that you wanted to show me something." Wesker puts his beer down and reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box. He opens it up to reveal a beautiful silver ring with a sparkling emerald on it. Chris takes the box and examines the ring. "Woah is this what I think this is." He says still examining the ring.

"Yes it is. I'm going to propose to her tonight."

Chris gives the ring back to Wesker and claps him on the shoulder. "Congrats. So you've finally worked up the courage to ask her."

"It feels like the right time. We've been seeing each other for two years now and I feel it's time to take the next step in our relationship."

"Well said." He raises his beer bottle to Wesker. "Well here's to a very happy life." The clink their bottles together and drink their beers.

Meanwhile, Maria is sat with Jill, Rebecca and Claire in the living room of the house she shares with Wesker. She has asked her friends over to ask them some advice.

"So what's up." Claire spoke.

Maria to face her three best friends and says, "I'm pregnant."

At this news Claire, Jill and Rebecca all squeal with delight and hug Maria.

"Congratulations Maria." Jill says pulling back from the hug only to notice Maria looks upset. "What's wrong honey. You should be happy. You're having a baby."

"I know I should be happy but I don't know how Albert's going to react when I tell him."

"If I know Albert as well as I do then he'll be ecstatic." Rebecca said in an attempt to comfort her.

"We never really talked about having kids. What if he doesn't want kids." At this thought Maria started crying. The three women comforted her as best they could.

"Hey don't think like that." Claire said.

"Albert loves you and I'm sure he'll love this baby to." Jill said.

"I guess I shouldn't have these silly thoughts." Maria said while drying her tears.

"You think." Rebecca said playfully nudging Maria. The rest of the time was spent on what everyone's plans for tonight were.

For their romantic valentine date, Wesker took Maria to the restaurant where they had their first date. They had a delicious meal and had a couple of dances. They then went for a walk in Raccoon Park. Wesker planned to propose to her here. He found a secluded spot that would be perfect. Wesker took Maria's hands into his own and put his plan into motion.

"Maria you know I love you right." He said as he looked into her eyes.

"Of course and I love you."

"We've been together for two years and it has been the best two years of my life. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life without you." He reaches into his pocket and gets down on one knee. He opens the box to reveal the most beautiful ring Maria has ever seen. She gasps in surprise. "Maria Ravenheart, will you make me the happiest man in the world by consenting to be my wife. Will you marry me?"

Maria is taken by surprise. She never expected this to happen tonight. She knows her answer right away.

"Yes Albert I'll marry you." She says with biggest smile on her face as Wesker places the ring upon her finger. His smile matching hers as they share a passionate kiss.

"I have something I need to tell you." Maria says to Wesker after breaking the kiss.

"What is it dear heart?"

"Maybe we should sit down." She says directing to the bench nearby.

"Ok what is you would like to tell me future Mrs Wesker." They both smile at that.

Maria takes a deep breath before talking to him. "I don't really now how to tell you this so I'm just going to come out and say it." She looks him straight in the eyes. "I'm pregnant."

Wesker had never been more surprised in his entire life. He did want kids with Maria but planned to talk to her about it after they were married. That didn't mean he wasn't disappointed, just surprised. "You're pregnant. Are you sure?"

"Yeah I took a test this morning." Maria can't tell how Wesker is taking the news. After a minute, Wesker's face breaks out into a smile and kisses Maria like he's never kissed her before. He then puts his hand to her stomach, rubbing gently.

"I can't believe it. We're having a baby. I love you Maria."

"I love you to Albert."
