Skyla stared at Chris stunned for a moment before giving him a small smile.

"I love you too."

She was taken aback by both of their confessions. Her chest tightened after saying that to him, she realized everything incredibly real. She meant what she said, but it was like it just got all the more serious between them. Right after she had thrown herself in front of the bullet that Wesker had fired she had implied she had loved him but they had never said the words; that had been a month ago.

Chris leaned over and gently kissed her; he pulled her against him and pulled the blankets over the both of them. Skyla snuggled against his chest falling asleep almost instantly.

Two months later found Chris and Skyla already moved into a new apartment; Chris was in his new position as Captain. Skyla had decided to go ahead for now and take the intel position. Although she hated desk duty, she found she wasn't quite up to being in the field. Although she was training hard with both Chris and Piers, the doctors had said there were some muscle and nerve weakness, and she would have to keep strength training, So she had given Chris the stipulation she would take this until she could get her should 110% which Chris agreed to halfheartedly. Piers and Chris had been on one small mission, and Skyla found that she didn't absolutely hate it. Skyla got to keep an eye on Chris and Piers and make sure they were safe. She also got to tease Chris in his earpiece occasionally which made Chris and Piers squirm.

Chris and Piers had been back from the mission for 3 days when Skyla sat up in bed, she felt nauseous again. She quickly slid out of bed and as quietly as she could ran to the bathroom and quietly closed the door. She hoped she hadn't disturbed Chris. She had no idea what time it was, her stomach burned and she could feel the contents of her stomach moving up.

"Skyla?" She heard Chris groggily call from the bedroom.

"Yeah?" She called as she hit the lock on the door, she didn't want him seeing her like this.

She grabbed a hair tie she had set beside the sink the night before. She had been waking the past week in the middle of the night throwing up.

"Are you okay?" Chris asked from the other side.

This was when the contents of her stomach decided to come up. Chris tried to open the door but found it locked. She could hear him sighed annoyed with her. She had managed not to wake him the last 3 nights successfully with this, but tonight she had not been so successful.

"I'm fine Chris, go back to bed. I think I have that stomach bug going around the office." Skyla replied after a minute.

"Do you want some water?" Chris asked concern.

"No, I'm fine just go back to bed," Skyla replied quietly.

After a minute Skyla heard Chris sigh from the other side of the door and walk towards the bed. She found it amusing on a mission he was so stealthy and quite but at home he was very heavy footed. Maybe it was on purpose, he had accidentally come upon her once and her fist almost connected with his jaw.

It seemed her stomach had settled, for the time being, she got up and brushed her teeth and unlocked the door. Chris was sitting on the bed waiting for her. Skyla sighed knowing he was not letting this go.

Skyla climbed in the bed and sat beside him.

"What was that all about?" Chris finally asked.

"Sorry, I just didn't want you to see me like that," Skyla replied.

"There's a stomach bug going around the office?" Chris asked.

"I just assumed so, I've been kind of sick for a week, so I thought so," Skyla replied to him.

"Maybe you should stay home and rest tomorrow then," Chris said pulling her to him and laying them down.

"Nice try I'll be fine," Skyla replied.

Later that morning Skyla was jogging with Piers when she stopped and took a deep breath.

"Are you okay?" Piers asked her.

Piers watched her worriedly, she was paler than normal, and she never took breaks while they jogged, she even out jogged him most of the time.

"Yeah," Skyla responded looking over to Piers.

Skyla wobbled, she leaned her head against a brick building.

"Let's take a break." Piers suggested to her.

"No, I'm fine let's go," Skyla said standing upright again.

Just as they were about to start jogging again, Skyla collapsed.

"Skyla!" Piers called to her.

Piers walked to her and lifted her up into a cradling position. Piers looked up and sighed with relief they weren't far from HQ. Piers walked towards the building. He opened the door seeing Chris.

"Captain," Piers called to Chris as he approached him.

"What the hell happened?" Chris asked lifting Skyla from Piers.

They walked towards the training facility.

"We were jogging, and she stopped. I suggested we take a break, but she wanted to push on. We went to continue, and she took a step and collapsed on me. It is hot out there maybe she overheated?" Piers replied to him.

Chris sighed and nodded.

"Thanks, Piers go get yourself cooled off," Chris told him.

Chris laid Skyla on a bench in the training facility. He grabbed a washcloth from a cabinet; he ran it under a sink with cool water on he then rang it out. He walked back to Skyla and placed it on her head. After a minute she came to, her eyes opened to see Chris staring down at her.

"Next time I suggest you stay home and rest, stay home and relax," Chris said standing up.

"I don't want to hear I told you so," Skyla replied.

"Then don't push yourself," Chris responds.

"I'm not Chris," Skyla replied sitting up.

"Then why did you collapse? I want you to go the clinic and get checked out," Chris replied turning towards the training room door.

"Chris that is unnecessary." Skyla glared at his back.

"That is an order Matthews," Chris replied over his shoulder before walking out.

Skyla grabbed the cloth off her head and threw it at the door Chris just exited through.

After a minute Skyla got up and walked towards the door. She walked through the door and came face to face with Piers; she glared at him for a moment. Skyla walked past him towards the break room.

"Skyla what is going on with you?" Piers asked.

Skyla walked into the break room and sat down at the table putting her head down.

"Skyla?" Piers came in behind her.

"What do you want teacher's pet?" Skyla asked with slight malice.

"Why are you mad at me?" Piers asked sitting next to her.

Skyla stared at the table and shook her head before looking at Piers.

"I'm not, I'm sorry Piers," Skyla told him.

"So what's going on with you?" Piers asked again.

"I have just been a little nauseous for a week," Skyla replied.

"You also passed out, and you're moody," Piers added.

"What are trying to say, Piers?" Skyla asked.

"Have you been to the drug store?" Piers asked with a smirk on his face.

Skyla stared at him trying to figure out what he was going on about. Then a lightbulb went off in her head, and she started shaking her head slowly at him.

"No, it can't be that Piers," Skyla said looking at him worriedly.

"Why not?" Piers smiled at her.

"It just, it can't okay," Skyla said looking upset.

Piers stared at her for a minute then he put a hand gently on her shoulder.

"Do you want me to go pick up a test and meet you at your apartment?" Piers replied.

"Chris wants me at the clinic," Skyla responded.

"And yet here you are in the break room." Piers replied with a smile.

"Okay fine, I am will go tell Chris I am going home for the day, meet me at the apartment in 20 minutes?" Skyla asked.

Piers nodded, he pushed out his chair and got up walking out of the break room. Skyla got up following Piers out of the break room. She walked down to the room to Chris' office, she knocked at his door.

"Come in." She heard Chris say.

Skyla stuck her head in; Chris waved her in.

"Hey," Skyla said.

"Hey, did you go to the clinic?" Chris replied.

"No, actually I was going to go home," Skyla answered.

"Skyla, I told you to go to the clinic," Chris said sternly.

Skyla walked into the office and shut the door.

"Chris, you may be Captain now, but that doesn't mean you're going act like an ass to me in front everyone," Skyla replied sitting in the chair across from it.

"Skyla I am not doing this to act like an ass, I am worried about you," Chris replied getting up.

"It feels like you're using your position as captain to tell me what to do," Skyla sighed.

"I promise that is not what I am trying to do. I am worried about you, you said you've been throwing up for a week, and now you passed out, I just want you to get checked out at the clinic," Chris replied.

"Chris if my suspicions are correct we don't want this at the clinic," Skyla answered quietly.

Chris looked at her curiously, then concerned.

"Skyla what is it?" Chris asked sitting in the chair next to her.

"Look, I am going to go home. We will talk when you get home tonight. I'll have dinner ready, do you want anything special? I can either order something or make it." Skyla replied to him.

Chris stared at her long and hard, he was starting to get suspicious.

"Don't worry about it, I'll bring dinner home. I was planning on leaving early anyway." Chris replied.

"Okay, I'll see you in a while then," Skyla answered, she stood and walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek.

Chris looked up at her and watched her walk out of the office. Skyla had just walked in the door of the apartment and put her stuff down when she heard a knock at the door. She walked over and opened it finding Piers on the other side with a brown bag.

"I got so many looks at the drug store, and then the cashier told me congratulations," Piers rolled his eyes.

Piers handed Skyla the brown bag, Skyla opened it and rolled her eyes.

"You were supposed to get one Piers. JUST ONE!." Skyla replied yelling out the last bit.

"I didn't know what to get. I'm not a girl," Piers replied.

"What if it's negative, how am I supposed to hide these then?" Skyla answered.

"I'll take the trash out and take the rest with me Skyla, don't worry. Why don't want him knowing anyway?" Piers asked

"We haven't talked about this stuff Piers; I don't know where his head is," Skyla replied.

"How about you take this and go find out." Piers said handing her a test.

Skyla took the test and nodded heading towards the bathroom. Skyla emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later and set a timer on her phone. Skyla stared at her phone like it was going to explode.

"That's not going to help," Piers replied.

Skyla glared at him; a minute later her phone went off. Skyla felt sick, but for once for an entirely different reason.

'I have sterilized you Skyla. You won't be able to have kids.' Wesker stood over Skyla with a bright light shining on her face.

Skyla laid on the black table with just a paper gown over her. The environment smelled medical and sterile.

"Skyla the test is ready if you don't read it now it might not be right." Piers told her.

"Can you read it, what if I read it wrong?" Skyla replied.

Piers threw over the box at her and glared. The box showed where it would clearly say positive or negative.

"Okay fine I am scared, is that what you want to hear?" Skyla asked Piers.

Piers nodded and walked into the bathroom.

"Skyla, get in here," Piers called a second later.

Skyla looked towards the bathroom and sighed, she padded towards the bathroom and stuck her head in and looked at the sink then over at Piers.

"Oh shit," Skyla said.
