Sentimental Value

Claire sat impatiently on the side of the road, again. Ol' Betsy officially died on her and she couldn't go to work. As she waited for a tow truck, and her brother, Claire messaged and called all the people she knew that were free at this hour. She ranted about being bored and how tired she was, especially since she only woke up a two hours ago and was now running on zero sleep, she wanted to go home. After a two hour wait, Chris came, whispered 'I told you so,' and took her to a car dealer ship. Claire was a reluctant participant of such a thing. She didn't want a new car, she liked the one she had. "I just lost my baby!" Chris shook his head, not bothering to look at her and kept his eyes on the road. " Claire, it's a car. Car's don't last forever." Claire shook her head. "I've had that car since high school!" Chris kept driving. "And Grandpa had it for longer than that." Claire grew quiet, Grandpa Dan was the only person in the drivers test. He would often joke with her about women and bad driving, or how she would never pass the test, but he always encouraged her. She could remember seeing herself jumping for joy and kissing his cheek when she did. "It still smelled like him...apples, ya know?" When Chris parked the car he placed a hand on her shoulder. "I know," The car stopped and the doors unlocked, letting the siblings leave the vehicle. "Obviously not, I don't want to just let his car be crushed or whatever..." The teen took an angry deep breath an lead the way to the doors of the building. Once inside a fairly old man greeted her brother. "Ah, hello Mr. Redfield! How are you today?" The man turned and faced Claire and he squinted. "Claire?" Claire had a confused look on her face as she noticed. "Yeah...?" The man smiled. "My you have grown!" Claire continued to stare, she was unable to put a face to the name. "It's me! Spencer! Your fathers old co-worker!" To save herself from the awkwardness, Claire nodded dumbly. "Oh! I remember you! Spencer!" She hugged the old man but gave Chris a look that clearly proved to be the opposite of her earlier sentence. Chris held back a laugh. "Back to business Spencer, were here for a new car for Claire." Spencer nodded and told them 'follow' me as he lead them to a very large room full of cars. "Would you like something small Claire?" Claire just shrugged. "She won't be having babies any time soon so yeah I'm sure she'll want a small car." Chris gave her a pointed look. "Right Claire?" Claire decided to tease her brother and twirled a lock of her hair. "Oh I don't know Chris. I'm thinking about having some rich dude get me pregnant." Claire snickered as Chris turned red and clenched his fists. This was her punishment for him, he brought her here and since she couldn't cause a scene else she would be seen as an ungrateful brat, she would fight back with his fear. He didn't want to envision her growing up. "Moving on." Chris said curtly and Spencer nodded and headed for the smaller cars. "How would you like a blue Hyundai?" The mentioned car was placed near the large window, it was a baby blue color and of you looked closer you could see sparkles in the paint. "Hmm..." The siblings looked inside the windows and opened the car door. The interior was white, the windows tinted, and the smell gave off the 'I'm a new car' vibe. Chris was fine with the car, Claire just wanted to bring in the smell of apples into it. "So how is it sis?" Claire stared at it for a long time. "Do I get a free air freshener?" Spencer chuckled. "Of course!" Claire continued to look at the vehicle. "Do you have any that smell like apples?" Spencer nodded. "I believe we do." Claire nodded. "I have no other choice." The papers were quickly sighed after that, the car now belonged to Claire, and to her annoyance Chris paid for it.

The teen grumbled as she started the car. What she was actually grumbled about, she couldn't tell you but she was. "I miss Betsy!" She yelled as soon as she reached her house, Fen began to bark due to being startled by it. " Sorry boy..." She rubbed his fur as she walked inside her house. Claire plopped on the couch. "Woof!" Momma? What's wrong? Fen whimpered softly, the dog could tell something wasn't right. "Just a little sad is all. Don't worry Fen." The girl sighed, and sat there on the couch, unmoving. Without thinking, she reached over Fen to the table before her, she opened the drawers of the table and pulled out a huge photo album. "Hey, wanna see my Grandpa?" Fen immediately sat next to her on the couch, it was rarity for her to allow him to join her and he was glad he got to this time. Fen liked to meet new people. Claire opened the photo album and flipped through the pages until she found his pictures. "This," She rested a finger on the picture of her granddad. "Is Grandpa Dan." The picture was of him at a park with the then young Ryan Redfield, her dad. "And this is my dad when he was five. Grandpa Dan liked to take him to the park." The two were smiling happily as her father slid down a slide. She changed pages. "This is Grandpa Dan and Grandma Emily," The picture was of the smiling couple, holding the newborn Chris who looked absolutely clueless. Fen barked happily. Each picture she explained to the puppy, each memory that she had was out in the open. "And this is his casket." Her voice was low, her eyes unfocused. "Grandpa Dan died of Diabetes..." Fen began to nuzzle Claire in an attempt to comfort her when he heard her voice. "Woof..." Momma... Claire sniffed. "It's OK boy, it's OK I'll be fine." Fen got closer and whimpered. The puppy didn't like it when she was like this, he liked when his momma was happy and always ready to pay! "Woof!" Momma! Fen licked her face, her tears, which in turn made Claire grimace. "Gross!" Claire stood. "alright! No crying I get it! Sheesh!" The girl ran to her bathroom and Fen could hear the sound of running water and curses. Content with his actions, Fen arrogantly rested his head on his paws and closed his eyes.

Excella clutched the gaudy gold necklace of her sister to her heart. It was covered in random gems of all colors and sizes but the atrocious thing was loved by her sister, Even though Excella was in a room full of family and friends, all gathered to mourn the death of her sister, she felt so alone. She could her the loud sniffles of her mother and father, the coughs in an attempt to cover up the sobs of her brother, she heard everything. Even the questions of 'Why did you do it? Why did kill yourself?' and 'Why is Excella here? It's her fault!' Excella bared the brunt of the blame and hate. Am I welcome her Alassandra? Do you want me here? Do you want me to leave? "Excella." The brunette looked in her fathers direction. "Go. It's your turn to pay your respects." The twenty-eight old nodded numbly as she walked up to the pure white ornate casket. Her sister looked so thin, she looked as if before she hardly ate. Excella opened her mouth to speak but as soon as she did she broke down. "S-sorry," Her ruby lips quivered. "I'm so sorry! For everything!" Her knees shook and she fell to the floor. "I never should of betrayed you! I never should hurt you..." The woman sobbed into her hands as she continued to confess. "I never should of slept with Shaun, it was foolish...so foolish..." Jason, their brother, walked over and rubbed her back soothingly. "It's OK sis...it's OK."

Chris heard Jill singing a lullaby to their son Aidan in the living room.* The baby boy cooed happily and yawned sweetly when she finished. The infant was soon asleep. "So cute..." Jill whispered and Chris nodded, smiling brightly. "He has your eyes Jill," The new dad opened the near by closet door as quietly as he could to get a very special item for his son. Jill followed. "He has your hair," The loving mother cradled her son to her, enjoying the bundle of joy in her arms. "He has your mouth," Chris pulled out a ragged baby blanket with patches of different colors and animals on it. He held it up to Jill. "This was my baby blanket, and don't laugh but I would honestly cry if I lost it." Jill giggled. "It has been through a lot huh?" Chris nodded, and he took Aidan from his wife's arms and wrapped the baby boy in it. "This is daddy;s favorite thing in the world," Jill jokingly hit his arm. "Besides you and your mother, I hope you cherish it Aidan." Chris then kissed the sleeping baby on the forehead and followed his wife to Aidan's room.

Wesker loosened his tie, unbuttoned his dress shirt, and sat down on his floor. Piles of paperwork were soon scattered out and about joining him in his discombobulated mood. Excella came to work with tears in her eyes, and hardly spoke a word to him or anyone else. The silence she had given him was welcome, but the tears? It was out of place on the spoiled woman. When awkwardly asked what happened she answered with silence as well. He didn't press any further. William, Alfred, and now Alexia were plotting something behind his back, he knew that much and already figured out why despite their 'precautions'. When it to extremely well thought out plans the three were sloppy. Of course they were intelligent people, just not as intelligent as he was. Then there was the current situation of Claire, and his parents. He still couldn't figure out what to do with them, but he decided that he would call his mother first. "Maybe tomorrow..." As he signed his last paper he fell back and sighed. Perhaps I'll take Claire out again? When did she say she was free? Thursday? He would need to talk to Claire again. "This is vexing..."

Well there you have it. Jill gave birth, Excella's sister committed suicide, Claire lost her Grandpa's car, and Wesker is thinking about his parents and Claire. Hope you like it~
