Hey guys, I know it's a very long time since I last updated. Once again my crazy life and my block made me delay it, anyways now I'm more recovered from it and I hope you enjoy this chapter. I'll try not to take longer to update the next one and thank you for reading it. =)

It was 6AM when the alarm clock rang. Chris still was blurry eyed and waited for more 5minutes to finally get up. He looked his right side and Jill was still sleeping with her back to him. He took a look at his cell phone and went to take a shower.

During his shower his cell phone rang and he answered it, but let the water falling to block a little his conversation.

- Good morning Sarah

- Hi, did I wake you up?

- No, I just entered the bathroom to take a shower.

- Oh, good… I want to ask you something.

- What is it?

- Can you give me a ride today? I had a problem with my car last night.

- Sure. I give you a call when I'm near there.

- Ok, thanks.

Jill suddenly woke up after a bad dream and not feeling good, so she ran to the bathroom to throw up. She didn't even realize Chris might have been there.

Chris scared with the door's opening abruptly, but he got concerned seeing Jill holding on the wall and stand in front of the toilet.

- Morning sickness or you're not feeling well? He asked when she seemed better

- I think it's only morning sickness.

- I don't think so Jill. He said very concerned seeing her holding her belly

- I'm fine Chris… I'll be okay.

- We could call Rebecca or go to the hospital to check on you to be sure… you're holding your belly

- Don't worry Chris. The baby is fine… I'm just calming him down.

- I'll believe you, but if you don't feel alright you call me!

- Ok. I will.

Leon was sitting on his desk a little bit restless. He hadn't slept well, he's got too much too think and apparently no solutions. It was bio war, work, Emily, Jill and the baby.

However as much of tension he'd been through, what weighted more was Jill, but he still didn't understand why. The all he could do was to think about her, remember of her. He was distracted since their nightstand. It took long, but now he started to admit that he was caught for her more than he expected to.

Leon's thoughts were interrupted by his office door being opened.

- Good morning.

Leon didn't respond only giving a bored look at Emily

- You haven't changed at all. Still having the precious mood of the mornings… She said as she sat on the chair in front of him and he followed with his eyes

- And you are over spaced just like forever.

She smiled at him seductively. They remained in silence.

- I love when you're in a bad mood or thoughtful… it makes you sexier…

- It's over! He said with firmness

- It won 't makes you less hot, in fact you're hotter than on those days… getting old is been good for you! And it also doesn't mean we can't be friends anymore… with benefits…

- No benefits to you! There's a reason why you're a Past!

- I've heard it all before…

- What do you want here this time of the crap morning, besides bugging me?

- I can see your memory is also been affected…

- If you haven't any work to talk to, get out of here! I told you, besides work, I have nothing to talk to you! He lifted from his chair

- You don't need to kick me out of here… I know the way! She lifted from the chair as well and went to the door

- You are one of the things that should not be kicked, but be scrubbed out of the face of the planet!

- Your hate won't lead you to nowhere Leon… It's Past, like you said… she said before leaving the room

Leon sat again and contended his emotions once again by closing his eyes.

Jill was sitting on the bench at the park taking some ice cream and watching people walk around as she was having her meditation moment. She had a lot to set and make her steps. She was running out of time to tell the truth.

It wasn't easy to come to a right decision. How to tell Leon about his possible role at her baby's life, how to tell Chris as well, how to work on their shattering relationship, what kind of relationship was really going on between her and Leon, there's also Sarah subject, Umbrella's… She had a lot in her lap. Organize it took a lot of her energy.

She was interrupted from her frustration when she felt a kick in her belly and she smiled at it. She caressed her baby and felt such happiness to have him moving. Since she learned about his existence, her life and herself had changed a lot. Her personality, her thoughts, everything.

At that, she also took notice of two girls talking next to her and she paid attention to their conversation. It was about relationship.

"It's obvious he is into you!"

"I don't think so, he doesn't show anything"

"Of course he shows, only you don't see it, his behavior have changed, the way he looks at you… there are so many hints, you're too blind to see it"

"I wish he said that to me"

"He is shy"

"He doesn't want me"

"You're wrong, it's all about YOU"

Hearing this word made Jill acquire more doubts, but it directed her to Leon thought. She remembered the day they were talking and she said about his love with 3 letters. She remembered what he said next and remembered how bored he got when she didn't understand his riddle. Memories crossed her mind. Talks with Claire and her hints, Leon's new behavior and finally the biggest of all, the riddle of 3 letters. She remembered like it was the day when he intensified the You.

How could she have missed that? He was talking about her the whole time, not Ada.

All of his support, his kindness, his respect and understanding, his awarkdness. She couldn't believe, but Leon was in love with her. However it just made things more complicated for her, but she couldn't deny that she was having the same side effects as him. She had stopped fighting with herself when she finally admitted she was thinking much more about him and caught herself thinking about him for no reason.

However, things weren't so beautiful and all. She's pregnant and got a boyfriend. And whose part is inside of her? Her reality made her sigh sadly again, so she closed her eyes and sighed.

- Thanks for the ride, I owe you.

- Don't worry about that.

- Are you alright? She asks noticing Chris a little upset

- Yeah. He mumbles

- This of the morning you're already with that mood. What happened?

- Nothing.

- Like I didn't know you, come' on tell me. You know you can count on me. Is the baby alright?

- How'd you know? He replied surprised

- Well, the baby is what worries you, right?

- Yeah, I'm a bit worried, Jill didn't wake up well today, she just came in when I was in the shower, that time you called, she said it was morning sickness, but I don't know. I got really worried… This is really taking me into the nerves. I see her like that I can't do anything and by each day she gets more distant and kind of ignores me, or at least my role in it.

- You're still insisting on that… Don't say it, that's new for her. And for you too, but you have to understand that she's the mother and its all changed in her body. Her hormones are crazy…

- I know that! But that's not what I mean. You speak as if I'm being selfish, but I'm not! I know these kind of changes that happens, but you're not getting me… Chris lost a bit of his temper

- So tell me.

- I don't want to talk about it now. He mumbled

- So how can I understand you if you don't explain to me what's going on. I just want to help you to feel better.

- We're late. Let's go. He turned on the car and drove off to work.

Leon was taken back to reality when his cell phone vibrated on his desk and you could say that his eyes had a shine when he saw the screen and answered it warmly, but a little bit worried of course.

- Are you busy? Jill asked hesitantly

- No, I'm glad you called, are you alright? The baby?

- Yeah, we're fine. Why are you glad by my call? She had a moment to think of what he said

- Not really having a good day here… you know… He answered in sighs

- Emily! It wasn't a question

- Yeah! He sighed

- Want to share? She couldn't help her kind side

- Not really, what about you?

- What about me?

- Haha, you called me, so…

- Oh, yeah… I, I don't know why I called to be honest… If he could see Jill she was very blushed and trembling

- Ok, so I'll do the talk. What were you doing, besides missing me?

- Wandering in the park, thinking…

- Thinking what?

- Everything… you know, Chris, the baby, the war… you and… She paused

- And? Leon was intrigued

- I'm running out of time, I can't prolong this… Do you have a moment for me? She took a deep breath and reunited her courage to start putting it out

- Yeah, say it. Leon didn't have a choice to say no

- Not now, not by phone… Tonight?

- For its fine, but tonight, what about Chris?

- Whatever Chris, I need to talk to you first. She was a bit harsh

- Ok, it's just that you said he was kind of jealousy of our friendship…

- He's pathetic, I want to talk to you first. She couldn't see how much harsh her tone was, of course her hormones had their part in it

- Do you want to see me now? I can have my lunch time…

- Why not tonight, do you have "anything" else to do? I don't want to mess you up with your work.

- No! It's not that. It's just that I'm almost 1pm and I'm almost in my lunch time and plus, I'm really bored here.

- Ok, where do you want to meet me?

- Don't worry about it, I take you where you are.

- Central Park in the benches to the lake.

- Ok, 20mi I'll be there.

After they hung up the phone, Jill was very nervous about what was coming, but she had to do it. This matter was driving her crazy and she couldn't be feeling like that, it wasn't good to the baby. She thought about cancelling the meeting with Leon, but she HAD to go forward with it.

The 20minutes looked like hours and Jill was very restless. She moved her feet and played with her hands not to mention the shivering. She just felt a presence behind her and she looked back and her mouth got dry.

- Hey! Leon greeted her

- Hi. She bit her lips

- Are you alright? He was concerned

- Yeah.

- Where do you want to go?

- Do you mind if we talk here? I don't really feel like going anywhere right now. She said delicately

- Sure. He sat next to her

The kids were playing and running around and Jill and Leon watched it. There were other people, but something led their attention to the happy kids. So Jill started her speech.

- Have you thought about it? She was apprehensive

- What? He turned to her

- Kids.

- Sometimes.

- How would you act if you learned that you're having a child?

- Hum, I'd be in shock in a first moment, but I think I'd be happy later. I don't know.

Not really the answer she wanted to hear, but she expected that.

- It would depend on the mother right? She tried to disguise

- Of course! Imagine Emily telling me this! I'd freak out!

- You freaking out? Are you sure you are you?

- Yeah, why? He was confused

- Well, you don't usually show emotions, so…

- Emily is not emotion, it's an outburst!

- Hahaha, what's the difference?

- Emily is Emily and an exception. She even came with moral lesson talk over me this morning. Who the hell is she to talk morally with me? She's the one to blame!

- Yeah. Jill was giving him his time

- She cheated on me and got pregnant of the guy and also wanted to throw the duty on me! That's insane! She wanted to boss my life and when I wasn't around thinking about "our" future, she was in bed with someone else… for years! And now she comes to talk about moral to me? Pff

- So it's that what happened with you two. Jill could picture it, since she felt kind of in the same situation and it just made her feel worse

- Yeah!

- And what did she tell you this morning? What is it the moral you say?

- She said things… don't want to repeat it right now. I just know that she's no one to tell me a crap! She can't judge me!

- No she can't, but was she sure about the paternity? Or was it just you who didn't want to have the child and run away from your responsibility?

- Pff, of course not! If I have the responsibility I don't run away, but it was in her case. We were months without touching each other and when she got pregnant she wanted to have me and disguise it and make me a fool!

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- How come?

- Jill, the pregnancy long! You're pregnant you understand that.

- You can't be sure, maybe it was really yours, weren't you in a relationship with her?

- Where didn't you listen that we had month not touching each other? It's plural.

- Ok, how long was she?

- When I learned, she was 7 weeks.

- And how long were you not having it?

- She was 7 weeks when we didn't do anything for almost 3 months. How can it be mine? It's pure math.

- Maybe the test wasn't right.

- I doubt that! It wasn't a test, but an ultrasound.

- Oh! Ok. So she was a liar and cheater… Really a mean person… But let's say hypothetically that she couldn't be sure who the father was and that you were doing it… what would you say?

- DNA!

- Just as simple like that?

- What else could I do? Ask the fetus "hey who's your father?", I don't think so Jill.

Jill couldn't help, but to laugh a bit imagining the scene, but at least she was getting her own answers, but still tough, she would have to confirm what he was saying once she revealed to him his possible part in her condition.

- Well, you could doubt it, or have an outburst, or I don't know…

- Why the "hypothetically" in a fact of my life? Why would I need another perspective in the story?

Jill could sense he was speaking between the lines just like her, but it wasn't so easy for her to say, hey Leon, look I'm in doubt and feel the most horrible person in the world, but I have to say that I think you're the father of my child! No, that wasn't just as simple as that, since she had a relationship with Chris and Leon was just the nightstand.

- I don't know, it could happen, don't you think? She was stuck to spill it out once and for all

- Yeah, is what's happening to you? He finally said and in his serious face and noticed her silence and when she looked down. With that he put two and two together and took a very deep breath. He had to! Unconsciously he looked at his cell phone screen to see the clock and Jill passed her tongue on her lips getting his signs

- I'm sorry! She said with tears in her eyes and tightened her hands, apologize was all that she could say before "confirming" it to him. She wasn't proud of that, but what else could she do? What was made was done and now they were going to have to deal with it. At least now she could feel that she was doing her part and being honest and the confirmation would throw in Leon's lap his part to be done as well

- I have to go… to work…

- Ok, its ok, I understand. She interrupted him trembling and cleaning her tears

- I'm not done so far… But, I'll call you later… tonight if you want to. I really want to continue this conversation, but I have to go and see my nemesis. He was trying to handle the best as he could and not to hurt her or the baby since it's a delicate pregnancy

- Ok, just call me and we'll talk. I understand you have to work.

- Yeah, I'll call you for sure. He forced a soft smile

- Ok, good luck with your nemesis. She couldn't fake any smile

- Do you want a ride home?

- Leon, just go! You don't have to do this to me! I'll be fine!

- What am I doing? I just asked! He said confused

- Stop being nice to me, I don't deserve that. Go to your work and leave me alone and call me later or tomorrow or never, that's your call. But stop being nice to me as if I'm a self pity person. I'm not! She had her outburst

- I'm not pity for you.

She turned her face

- It's not being easy for me too, but I'm not trying to be nice or pity of you. I just…. Just understand you. It's not your fault. I won't run away. I just have to work and asked if you want a ride home because I worry about you and *ur baby, just being friendly.

"*ur" baby, she couldn't understand what he said, What did you say?

- I'm being your friend…

- No, not that part, the baby part.

- Our baby?

- You said "our" baby? She was in shock

- Yeah, isn't it what you said hypothetically?

Once again she cried, she wasn't sure why, for relief or her hormones or whatever her mind could find reasons, the truth was that she couldn't help herself with that word… our… it really meant for her. Somehow until now she felt it like just her own, but the "our" gave it even more meaning for her. She felt safer when suddenly he took her hand in his own and they looked at each other in the eyes. They felt the wind on their skins and the it seemed like the time has stopped and only interrupted by a hit on Leon's leg of a ball making him turn his face to see the child running to get the ball. He let go of Jill's hand and took the ball in his hand to retrieve to the laughing child.

Jill watched it and she smiled at that. Even for a very short period of time she could see that Leon had a way with children and she was interrupted too as her own baby kicked her belly. Unconsciously she took Leon's attention and asked him to feel it too. They shared a long smile and there was agreement in their eyes. They enjoyed the moment a bit more and looked to the lake direction and then left the park.

Hey, I hope you liked the chapter and keep on reading it. I promise not to give up on the story and let me know what you think or give me any suggestion you may want to see. Until next time! =)
