*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



It was a Saturday morning at the Redfields.Chris was on the couch fliping through borning channels,and Claire was upstairs in her room blasting music.Chris nearly had a heart attack from the music when it just popped out of nowhere.

"Take this pink ribbon off my eyes

I'm exposed

And it's no big surprise

Don't you think I know

Exactly where I stand

This world is forcing me

To hold your hand"

Claire was singing to it while cleaning up her room.Chris couldn't take it anymore,he pounced off the couch and ran upstairs to her room and knocked on the door.Caire heard the knocking and laughed to herself.She turned up the volume and still sang to it.

"The moment that I step outside

So many reasons

For me to run and hide

I can't do the little things

I hold so dear

'Cause it's all those little things

That I fear'Cause I'm just a girl.

I'd rather not be

'Cause they won't let me drive

Late at night"

Chris knew what she was doing,and opened the door to look in horror."Claire!!!"Chris said covering his eyes and turning away slighty blushing.Claire was to smart,she was in her bra and panties,"Chris you idiot get out!"she said with a laughing tone in her voice.Chris just ran downstairs and shuddered at the sight of his sister.Claire smirked to her plan working and continued to blast her music.Seeing that he couldn't win the sibling fight he just got changed and thought of going out for a walk.Claire came downstairs to the kitchen and noticed her brother with his famous leather jacket."You going out somewhere bro?"she said taking a bite of a green apple.He looked back to her and smiled"yep,and you can blast your music as loud as you want.But next time when you do wear some clothes!"She laughed and winked to her favourite and only brother,"yea,I will"She gave a playfull punch in the arm and walked back to her room.

Chris smiled and shook his head.They were finally at peace,no more Umbrella,or any other matters to look at.His hands were tucked in the leather jacket as slowly walked through the park,filled with singing birds,blooming flowers,and trees full of life.It was a wonderful feeling to do this after what he has been through.But he didn't want to think about those things anymore,what he wanted was a normal life.It became cloudy and he could smell the air become moist and heavy.He loved rainy days,it made him feel more in touch with himself.A small cool rain drop splattered onto his nose,then came more ploping onto the grass."Time to head home."he said taking in the fresh cool air.

While walking home he seen two very familiar figures walking ahead of him.A pondering Chris called out a name hoping it would be him,"Barry?....Leon?"The two looked back to Chris and smiled.It indeed was Barry and Leon.They walked up to Chris who was now soaked with the rain,"Chris!,I haven't seen you since......the day we took out Umbrella."Barry said giving him a bear hug.Leon smiled and shook Chris's hand then gave him a small manly hug."Yea,its been a year...a little to long for us huh,"Leon said.Chris nodded and thought of something,"Why don't you guys come over,Claire would be happy to see you two!she has been a little depressed lately and when that happens she blasts music to make me run out of the house."he said telling them the horrors of todays events in Barry's van.

They were all laughing as Barry made it to Chris's house.Leon opened the van door and walked out looking to his new home.It was really nice,"Wow..."Barry said giving a small elbow to Chris's side.Chris just laughed and showed them to the door,"This way guys"he said in a funny accent.As the three of them entered,they did hear roaring music coming from upstairs."See what I mean you two"Chris said a bit saddend and goofy.Barry and Leon just patted his back and made fun of him.Claire was playing one of those slow songs that just made her want to cry.

{Would you dance

if I asked you to dance?

Would you run

and never look back?

Would you cry

if you saw me cry?

And would you save my soul, tonight?}

Chris new if she played those types of songs she would in fact start to cry."Aww crap,she's going to start crying soon"He said guilty and sadly.Leon looked to him and then to Barry,"Well how about us cheer her up?"Chris just smiled and motioned them to follow him.The music got louder as they went up the stairs.

{I can be your hero, baby.

I can kiss away the pain.

I will stand by you forever.

You can take my breath away.}

Barry noticed Chris's face,it had the expression of a toddler who was cought with is hand in the cookie jar.Then he looked to Leon who almost had the same expression but there was something else there he couldn't quite put his finger on.Chris knocked on the door which made Claire turn of the music."Come in"she said wiping her eyes.Chris slowly opened the door to see his sister sitting at her desk with her head down and looking to the rain."Claire?you ok?"Chris said walking up to her and brushing her hair.Leon and Barry just looked to the two and felt sorry for Claire,but the affection that Chris shared with Claire was just amazing,it was the affection only a brother can give to a heart broken sister."Claire there are two people here to see you"At this Claire looked to her brother with questioning eyes,"Who's here?"She got up and straightend herself up.Chris looked to the door.That was the cue for Barry and Leon to come in.

Claire's face lit up instantly,"BARRY!LEON!!!"She jumped to both of them and gave them hugs.Chris smiled and looked to his sister who looked ever so happy."Hey Claire!hows my lil' angel?"Barry said also giving her a bear hug,"Your angel is fine now"she said smiling then looked to Leon who was gazing to her."Claire,"he said smiling to the girl....no woman he fell in love since they met back up in Europe.She gave him a loving smile and hugged him,"Hia Leon!"she said pulling away from the hug.The four were now happy as ever,but when Claire turned to Chris she seen something in his eyes,something that looked like emptiness and saddness.Chris felt his sister looking to him and smiled to her.She smiled back and motioned them all to go downstaires and just hang out in the kitchen.

They were all sharing stories of what they've been up to for the past year,laughing, and just feeling that joy again.It soon came to night and they had to be leaving."Well I should be going home soon,my wife's probably worried."Barry said standing up and drinking up his soda."Yea,same here I have a hard day ahead for tomorrow"Leon said glancing at Claire.Chris nodded and they all said their good-byes."Oh I almost forgot!,.....heres our number"Chris said handing it to both Barry and Leon.They smiled and nodded as they went out the door.Claire and Chris both watched as the van drove off.It stopped raining and the air was smelling so fresh. Claire took a deep breath of the sweet air and smiled to Chris who had that same look when they were in her room."You ok bro?"she said pinching his stomach.He looked down to her and smirked the Redfield smirk,"Why wouldn't I be?"he said picking her up and running around with her on his shoulder."Chris!!"she said in between giggles.He was having a blast with his sister.He didn't see a wall and he crashed into it face first and Claires butt went smashing into it as well."OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!"Chris said as Claire butt was on his stomach.She was laughing uncontrollably,"Your such a dumbass Chris I swear!"She managed to say.Chris's face had a red mark on it,and it made him look like a raccoon with a red stripe going across his eyes and nose.

As the night went by,Chris went over to check up on Claire who was sound asleep on her bed.He smiled at her,she was finally in peace.He slowly closed the door and went to his room.He sat on his bed and was looking over a photo album,it had the S.T.A.R.S. symbol on it.He glanced at the pictures,one by one, his face would be happy then sad as he remembered the happy days before the Mansion.His eyes landed on someone special,someone he loved since he first met her."Jill......."his hand caressed the picture of her sitting on her desk with a coffee cup in her hand,while she made a cute face.He closed his eyes and remembered the day he took that picture.

{Flashback}

Everyone was chatting about what they planned to do for Hallowe'en,Barry was having a party at his house,a formal party of course.Wesker wasn't even there that day so they were in luck.Chris came walking in with a camera in his hand.Everyone looked to him and laughed as he took a picture.He went around taking single pictures of everyone,and when he came to Jill's turn he blushed."It's your turn Valentine!"he said happily to her,she smiles to him."Chris you know how much I hate taking pictures!I always look like a spider monkey or some kind of monkey."she said making goofy faces."Don't worry this camera has ugly repelant,it will help you"he said playing with her.She just threw his haky sak to his head playfully and was set for a pose.She grabbed her coffee mug and made a sexy yet cute face."Perfect Jilly!what a bab....baby"he said blushing.She just shook her head laughing.

{End FlashBack}

He wanted to see her again,but it was impossible.She was probably with Carlos in Brazil having the time of her life.He looked to her picture one more time,he kissed his fingers and placed it on the picture.Claire who was going for a drink of water, peeked through the door and seen what Chris was doing,he missed her.She quietly went for the drink and went back to sleep.Chris had fallen asleep in about an hour,after gazing at the picture.Another night alone.
