Chapter 7- A Day in the Life of a Married Couple
Chris opened is sleep-crusted eyes and stretched out his arms and legs. A yawn accompanied it. Looking over to the clock on his dresser, he noticed that it was going on 2:00 in the afternoon. He usually didn't sleep this late but after not getting home until close to 4:00 this morning he wasn't too surprised. Finally adjusting to the daylight, Chris eventually noticed the extra weight on his chest. Which proved to be his ever loving wife Jill. She had her head nestled inside the contours of his upper torso. Right under his neck. Her legs were wrapped around his leg. And her hair was right in his face, preventing him from seeing her serene face.
" I'm fricken hungry." Chris said aloud. Jill stirred a bit and slowly lifted her head up at him. She looked at him sleepily.
" Huh, what's wrong?" She asked, barely having a clue as to what Chris had said. Chris smirked.
" I said, I was hungry. I'm going to go fix something." Jill yawned one more time before laying her head back across his chest once again.
" I'll help you. Wait 5 more minutes." Chris grinned and kissed her on the forehead.
" All right." Jill made a sighing sound and was back asleep. Chris was too.
About an Hour Later
Briiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnngggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
The sound of the phone ringing was like the sound of a nuclear bomb going off in Chris and Jill's ears. Chris shot his arm out and irritably answered the phone.
" Hello." Chris said straight to the point. He could hear Leon chuckle over the other line.
" Well well well, Chris Redfield is pissed off yet again." Jill had heard him over the phone and smiled a bit.
" What the hell is it Leon?"
' Oh nothing much. Me and girls are gonna go see Becca and Carlos for a bit. Oh yeah, Claire said that we were gonna come over and help you guys with Thanksgiving. And besides, I got something I want to ask you."
Chris looked up at the ceiling for a second. "All right. When are you going to the hospital?"
"Um, in about 20 minutes. You and Jill better be ready or else. We're on the way over to your house now." Leon threatened sarcastically. Chris grunted.
" Fine. And Leon. If Claire is pregnant before she gets married, I was break every body in your body and castrate you." Leon gulped over the line and chuckled nervously. Chris smiled but put back on a straight face when he noticed that Jill was giving him a dirty look. Chris hung up the phone and turned back to his wife. He held his arms out as if he was confused.
" What?" Chris asked. Jill shook her head.
"Why are you so bad to Leon, hmm? You know he loves Claire to death." Chris just grinned at her as he slowly got up from the bed. He picked Jill up as he did. Jill smiled as he walked her from the bedroom and set her on the breakfast bar in the kitchen. Chris went to the refrigerator to grab some orange juice and a bagel and he brought Jill some too.
' It's because he's my sister's boyfriend. And it's my duty to be a dick about everything they do. And besides, I think that they'd be better off married first. And since we've already done that....." Chris trailed off. Jill looked at him.
" What?' Chris looked at her slyly.
" We can practice." Jill wrapped her legs around Chris' back as she sat on the breakfast bar and Chris stood in front of her.
" Don't we do enough of that as it is?" Jill told him. Chris shook his head and kissed her neck.
" Nah, you can never have too much practice". Chris told her emphasizing practice. Jill gave him another look before letting go of him and returning to her breakfast.
" You do know it's going on 5:30 in the afternoon don't you? And we're eating our breakfast food." Chris paused.
" Oh shit, it is isn't it. Well, I'll leave it up to you to go shopping this time." He said finishing up his bagel. Jill too was finishing hers.
" I'd be glad too. Because you always forget all of the important stuff and come home with garbage. Take this cheesecake here." Jill said as she finished putting her dishes in the sink. She opened up the refrigerator and pull out a chocolate swirl cheesecake.
" I asked you to bring home a cherry pie and you bring this. Just because it was on sale and the pie wasn't. Face it, you're a cheapskate as well as an idiot." Chris tilted his head.
" Hey now, I'm maybe an idiot but I'm no cheapskate. It cost me an arm and a leg for that engagment ring. And the wedding ring. And the wedding. And the.." Jill cut him off.
" I know. You just can't shop. Okay, let's get ready. I'm going to jump in the shower."
Chris looked on as she made her way to their bathroom. A grin crossed his face as he watched her backside. It was to say the least one of the things that made Jill Redfield, Jill Redfield. A gift from God you could say. With that, Chris looked at the cheesecake sitting on the counter and started to run after Jill.
" Wait, Jill, I'm coming too!" Chris said as he ran after her. He hit his leg on a chair that wasn't pushed under the desk and cursed but continued on his way.
At the Hospital Waiting to See Rebecca
" We're here to see Rebecca Chambers." Chris told the receptionist. She was a fairly young and attractive lady. She was short and wore glasses. Looking up from her computer, she turned to the group and pointed down the hall towards Rebecca's room.
" Room 165" She said as she turned back to her computer. The gang said thanks and went on their way.
After walking down the hallway they slowly opened the door to see Rebecca still in bed but looking much better. She and Carlos were busy watching Spongebob Squarepants to notice them come in. Juliana was in Carlos' arms. Leon coughed so they could realize their presence. Carlos and Rebecca turned around surprised.
" Oh, we didn't hear you guys come in." Rebecca said. Claire went over to Carlos. Leon followed her. Sherry started talking to Becca, asking her questions about how it feels to be a mother.
" Can I hold her?" Claire asked Carlos. He nodded and handed the baby over to her. Chris and Jill walked over to get a closer look at her.
" She's got Rebecca's nose and mouth. But she's got Carlos' eyes though." Jill noticed. Claire nodded.
" Yeah, I can see that she's going to be a feisty one." Claire said as she started to rock her back and forth. Juliana started to cry a little bit but stayed quiet.
" Oh yeah, you left the camera over at Chris and Jill's house so we can record her tomorrow." Leon said to Rebecca suddenly remembering. Rebecca smiled a bit.
" They might let me out today. Last time the doctor checked on me he said I was doing better than normal."
" Chris, why don't you and Carlos go see if they'll let Rebecca out early?" Jill suggested. Carlos and Chris said okay and left.
" Let me hold her Claire." Jill told her. Claire handed her over. Jill started to slowly rock her while making a cooing sound.
" Trust me Juliana, out of all of your aunts, Auntie Jill is the coolest one." Claire and Sherry smirked at her. Jill smiled at them.
" You've got Carlos' complexion, eyes and hair. But Becca she has your face. Oh, Becca and Carlos are going to have a time with you when those boys come around." Rebecca giggled at Jill's predictions.
" Can I hold her now?" Sherry asked. Jill nodded and handed her over to her.
" Well, at least I'm not the youngest anymore." Sherry said while looking at Juliana.
" I'm so glad we finished that extra room when we did." Rebecca said to Claire.
" Yeah, but thanks to Leon we had to repeat painting it 2 times because it was quote unquote "the wrong color." Claire said while putting her fingers in quotations.
Leon, who was sitting down in the chair watching Spongebob turned his head sharply to Claire and narrowed his eyes a bit.
" Blue brings out the room better than yellow does." He said plainly. Claire rolled her eyes.
" Leon baby, you're blue. That's the only color you wear." Leon scoffed.
" I wear black." He shot back observing the dark blue navy jeans he was wearing.
Before they couple could get into another unnecessary argument, Chris and Carlos came back with some good news.
" Rebecca, the doctor said we could take you home." Carlos said with a smile on his face. Rebecca smiled.
" Great, I miss the house already."
From there, Carlos went back outside to fill out some papers and the gang helped Rebecca pack her stuff up. After about 45 minutes, everything was done and Carlos was pushing Rebecca to the car. She didn't feel weak, she just didn't want to walk.
" Where to now?" Sherry asked while helping Rebecca into the backseat of Leon and Claire's car.
" Well, Claire and Jill are going to start on Thanksgiving dinner. We could stop by the apartment and pick up some stuff from our apartment and Carlos'. Then we can all spend the night at Chris' house. If it's okay with you." Leon said to Chris as he put Rebecca' s things into the truck.
" It's fine with me. Jill?" Chris asked Jill. She nodded.
" We'll go ahead to the house. You guys can go home first."
" Okay, see you in an hour." Claire said as she got into the front seat with Leon. Rebecca told them bye as Chris and Jill started to head for their car. Chris took one last look at Juliana and smiled before waving back.
" Love is not going to be a problem for Juliana at all." Chris said to Jill as he started up the car. Jill looked to him and asked.
" Why do you say that?"
" Because, it's like she my own daughter in a way. And I take my family very seriously." Jill nodded and made a hmm sound.
" I know. You'll make a great father. You've already handled the husband position pretty well." Chris chuckled.
" Well, I try."
At Chris and Jill's House before the others arrive
" Chris, bring me that pillow off of that floor." Jill said as she finished making up the bed for Rebecca. She and Chris had already planned the sleeping arrangements. She and Chris would sleep in their room. Carlos and Rebecca would sleep in Claire's old room. They had told Rebecca to bring something for Juliana to sleep in. And Claire, Leon and Sherry would get the living room. Leon and Claire would most likely get the sofa while Sherry got the recliner.
Chris picked it up and puffed it a couple of times before handing it to her.
" It looks good Jill. Rebecca won't care just as long as it's comfy."
" I wish I could sleep here. Once me and Claire get started we may be up all night. And we have more to do in the morning." Chris walked over to her.
" It looks like they won't be here for another 20 minutes. Come on and get some rest." Chris said as he started to pick her up and carry her. Jill just sighed in relief and let Chris carry her back to their bed. He sat her down and crawled in next to her.
" Go on and sleep now. I'll be awake when they come." Jill gave him a loving stare.
" Thank you Chris. I love you." Chris just kissed her lightly on the lips leaving Jill wanting more.
" I love you too Jill. Now sleep. I don't want to eat burnt food on Thanksgiving just because you fell asleep on it." Jill snorted at him and closed her eyes.
Chris wasn't sleepy so he didn't close his eyes. Instead, he looked at the beautiful angel lying on his chest. She looked peaceful and serene. Chris had been married to her for 3 months now and his feelings haven't changed. Jill always has and forever will be Jill. The woman he fell in love with. If love was a pit, then Chris fell into an endless one.
