Chapter 9 (Pregnant Silences)
The barbecue was reasonable sized and Barry's cooking was delicious, his ribs where pieces of heaven in Rian's mouth, she couldn't get enough of them. To her suprise, Sherry was their, staying the night at Barry's with her friend Lucy, Barry's daughter. The two twelve year old girls babbled exictedly in the corner, at all the new company.
Jill and Chris where sitting at the picinic table, while Wesker isolated himself and stayed next to Rian, they wheren't kidding when they said anti-social, geeze Albert loosen up a bit. Rebecca sat quietly on a swing and occasionally chattered with Richard, who was more interested in what Barry was telling Chris.
Rian went to bite into her rib but, two bites into it and it tasted rancid. Her waves of nausea hit so fast, she didn't have time to run to the restroom, she threw up all over the glass. Wesker held Rian's pony tail out of her face and gently rubbed her back, suprising everyone with his gesture of kindness, "Perhaps I should take you home dearheart".
Rebecca raced over just as Rian collapsed but, Wesker caught her before she hit the grassy covered ground.
Rebecca went over to Rian as she stirred, and handed her a small glass of water. Rian took the offering gratefully, her throught was really parched "What happend?". Rebecca pulled up a stool and sat next to Rian's bedside "You collapsed at Barry's barbecue, I did some blood work and found some suprising results". Rian heart raced, Rebecca I hope for your sake, your not talking about the T-Virus because if you are I'd have to kill you, and that'd be a real shame. "What did you find?" Rian asked her voice slightly shaky, she felt relief when Rebecca replied "Well your anmeic which explains why you passed out and certain levels of hormones where really high to". Rian wished she just let it out already, "Which means?". Rebecca beamed at her friend "Congratalations! Your pregnant!".
Rian felt her heart go in her throught, it just wasn't possible. This wasn't supposed to happen! Rebbeca watched Rian concerned "Hey calm down it's going to be okay". Rian nodded Becky was right, what was done was done, no sense in panicing over it. After a long pregnant silence Rebecca nervously asked "So what's going on between you and Wesker?". "What do you mean?" Rian tried to deny it but, Rebecca saw straight through her, "He was like a rampaging bull, till he figured out you where okay. I've never seen Wesker so worried, ther's obviously something going on between you two". Rian sighed, she was busted "Fine I guess you could say we're together, okay?". Rebecca smiled "I knew it!, so that means he's the father right?". "Yes he would be the father, you havn't told him have you?". Rebecca frowned and looked at the gorund twitching her foot, "I didn't have to, Wesker marched right in and took your diagnoise from me". Rian groaned and looked generally doomed, "Was it a good reaction or did he go stroming off?". "No he was silent, even for him, but, he didn't go storming off, in fact he's been waiting for you to wake up".
Wesker strode in and Rebecca left giving the two their privacy "Wesker I-". Wesker cut her off and sat by Rian on the bed fiddling with the white bed sheet "We'll talk about this at home dearheart, not now". Rain let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding "Your're not mad?". Wesker sat his shades next to Rian and his light blue eyes pierced hers "No".
