Edward's wedding is a beautiful event, all the works from a mashed potato bar to a killer DJ. The STARS members have an absolute ball, minus of course the newest members. Which is probably for the best, as Jill finds out later they all went out on a double date. Billy and Rebecca, with Leon and Claire, Chris does not know about the latter pair and Jill has no intention of telling him.

It's nearly a month since, Jill and Chris are in the process of moving into their new apartment. Claire, Leon, Barry, and Billy are down at the new place setting up, since technically it's also Claire's new apartment as well. Jill and Chris are gathering the last of their things from the bedroom.

"You've done like three last minute sweeps, you didn't forget anything, let's go." Chris complains by the door.

"Just the drawers and then we can." Jill chuckles. "I'm paranoid."

He sighs dramatically, "Five minutes."

He walks back out to the living room, Jill laughs as he goes before approaching the dresser. She's had a lot of good memories in this apartment and part of her is sad to see it go. Of course her thoughts of leaving are halted completely as she opens a drawer and spots a little black box in the back of it.

Gingerly she reaches out to pick it up, eyes wide and curious, this couldn't possibly be hers…

Once she opens the box her breath catches in her chest, a solitaire diamond ring sits innocently inside. Her mind goes blank as she stares at the ring, it certainly isn't hers, not yet at least. Thoughts running a mile a minute she looks around the room dumbly. Chris…

When she comes back to herself she feels a smug grin grow across her face and she walks to the living room.

"You done?" He smirks at her.

"You almost forgot this." She tosses the box at him.

Once he registers what it is he immediately gasps, "Fuck."

"Good thing I'm paranoid." Jill chuckles, folding her arms.

Chris stays silent, clearly embarrassed and shocked.

Jill holds up her hands, "I didn't see anything, don't worry… But she'll love it."

"Jill…" Chris shakes his head as he approaches her.

"Chris you don't-"

"Let me." He says getting down on one knee before her, "Because shit, Jill, this is exactly why you can't leave me."

She bursts out laughing as he says this, eyes tearing up despite herself, "At least you know it."

"That and you are the most amazing person and beautiful woman in the whole world. Even if I can't imagine why you picked me, I want you to stay forever."

"Chris." She covers her mouth, still chuckling and crying all at once.

"Will you marry me?"

"Of course, I will." She gets on her knees and wraps her arms around his neck.

He kisses her head, chuckling into her hair as they rock back and forth in their empty apartment. It's as perfect a proposal as she could have envisioned for herself, and an even more perfect fiancé to match. Fucking fiancé.

"Let me put it on." He laughs.

"Okay." She chuckles with him pulling away enough to present him her hand.

"Jesus, you're shaking." He laughs again.

"So are you!" She teases as he slips the ring on her finger. It's a bit big, but it's perfect regardless, and she tells him as much when she can manage to speak.

"I told Claire I should have gone down a size." He snorts.

"Claire knows?" Jill asks.

"You remember that trip I took to go visit her?"

"You've been planning this for a while now?" Jill asks incredulously.

"To be fair, I knew I was going to marry you the second you told me I was the love of your life." He takes both of her hands in his, "I didn't know if you were a ring kind of girl… are you surprised?"

"I don't know if surprised is the right word, but I'm definitely over the moon." She says looking again at the plain, beautiful ring on her finger.

"Come on, at least tell me you're surprised I bought a ring."

"You got me there." Jill agrees.

"So… you mean it right? You really want to?" He asked nervously.

"Chris, I said yes, didn't I?"

"I'm just making sure."

"We've fought off zombies, our sexist boss, and the government, marriage will be a breeze." Jill assures him.

"With you, it will be." He agrees pulling her in for another kiss.

"Never give me shit for double checking our moves ever again." Jill teases.

"Yes ma'am." He complies before resuming their kiss. She is absolutely in awe of how much she loves him. He's silly, rude, and lacks self confidence around her, but somehow that only makes her love him more.

"Claire will wonder where we are." Jill says as he moves to become more intimate.

"Claire can wait, I have a fiancée to enjoy." He chuckles against her lips.

"And what about my enjoyment?" She laughs.

"I think you know that it's a Redfield guarantee by now." He bites her lower lip after he's said it, "And you're about to be one."

"You've got another thing coming if you think I'm taking your name." She whispers to his skin.

"We'll talk about that later." He resolves.

Later comes only after they've finished fucking on the floor as a goodbye to their apartment, though they don't make much headway on the conversation before they're in front of their new apartment complex.

Claire is the first to greet them as the enter the mostly furnished apartment.

"You guys okay? Ten minutes, my ass, you've been gone over an hour." She folds her arms and does her best to glare at the couple.

Jill wordlessly approaches her future sister-in-law and holds out her hand to her.

"OH MY GOD!" Claire screeches yanking Jill into a hug.

The guys rush out of the bedroom, where they'd been building furniture, to check out the commotion.

"Everything okay?" Leon asks, ever the calm amidst the chaos.

"They're getting married!" Claire squeaks again this time holding and observing Jill's hand.

"Wait, really?" Barry asks with a laugh.

Chris nods to him, "Yes we are."

The STARS members pile onto Chris, congratulating the happy couple with as much enthusiasm as humanly possible.

Jill and Chris, the kind of people who think they aren't worthy of love or that they somehow are incapable. Found that very thing in one another, and they've made a promise to never let that go.
