Miracles Do Happen
Author's Note: First off, thanks to everyone that reviewed and let me know that this story is still alive and kicking. I got about 5 more chapters after this and then the epilouge. This is thanks to Tek, for reminding me to get off my lazy ass and write. Okay, here's chapter 17.
Chapter 17- Slumber Party
" Okay, everyone out." Chris addressed the passengers of the car as he turned of the ignition. Claire was sleeping soundly behind Chris while Rebecca was asleep in between Claire and Carlos with Juliana sleeping in her arms. She had her head resting on his shoulder. Jill turned around to see the three of them out cold. She grinned.
" Look at them Chris. Tired out from being themselves. You think we should go ahead and take them home?" Jill asked. Chris looked at her then to the three in the back and back to Jill. His answer was blunt and quite obvious.
" Hell No. I'm here already I'm eating." Jill blew her hair out of her face and smirked at him.
" Whatever you say." Chris smiled and stepped out the car and opened the back door with Carlos leaning on it. He practically fell out.
" Rise and shine soldier boy. You too redhead. Claire, you already know what time it is." Chris told them each individually grinning the whole time. Jill just looked on from the front of the restaurant. Carlos groaned and started swinging around trying to hit Chris. Rebecca gave him an irritated glare. Claire just shot him the bird.
" Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you all want to eat for free I suggest you quit bitching and come on." Chris told them as he turned to meet Jill. Instantly, Claire got up and beat Chris to the entrance. Carlos had grabbed Juliana from Rebecca and put her in his right arm while he pulled Rebecca with his other hand. Jill was laughing her ass off from inside the lobby. She gave Chris a pout when he walked up to her and put his arms around her waist.
" Isn't it amazing what people will do for free food?' He teased. Jill smiled at him.
" Sometimes I wonder about you Redfield?" Jill told him as she and Chris followed the others inside to wait for service. Chris smirked.
" Ah, I too wonder about myself Ms. Valentine. Oh excuse me, Mrs. Redfield." Jill smirked back at him and pecked him on the cheek. Chris rubbed the spot as if it was his first kiss. He looked at Jill bashfully.
" Hmm, I see my charm is getting to the point where it's unresistable." Jill was about to comment when Claire interrupted them.
"' More like unbearable. Come on so we can be seated." Blushing a little Jill pulled away from Chris and they followed Claire and the others to the table.
Once the arrived, the waiter told them she would be back in a few minutes. Knowing that a few minutes way going to take a while the gang sat down and started flipping through the menus. Chris and Carlos sat on one side of the table and the girls sat on the other.
As she finished looking at her order and put the menu down, Claire realized that everyone at the table was married or soon to be married. It was sort of funny to her. She looked at Becca and Carlos.
" Becca, how did you and Carlos get together anyway. I just remember Carlos kissing you at the party and that was it. Were you two together before that?" Rebecca looked up from her order with a smile. Carlos was looking horrified. Chris and Jill put their menus down and laid their eyes on the couple with a smirk evident on their faces.
" Well, it was sort of an accident." Rebecca started. Carlos shook his head.
" Don't tell them Becca. It's embarrassing." Carlos pleaded. Rebecca smiled and continued.
" Anyway, that one day when Leon, Chris, and Barry had went to get some information of one of the Umbrella Plants and you and Jill were doing something with Sherry, I was coming back from getting something for lunch. You remember that day?' Claire nodded. Rebecca continued.
" Well, I was about to sit down and eat and watch t.v until I heard Carlos in the back talking. I couldn't hear what he was saying though. I fixed him a plate and brought it to his room. His door was open a little so I cracked it just a bit and.." Rebecca passed a glance at Carlos' blushing face. Jill was grinning at him. Claire was thirsty to hear what happened next.
" He was talking to himself. About how he was going to ask me out. He sounded so nervous. Then finally he said that he could fall in love with me. That's when I dropped his food on the floor and he was scared shitless." Claire started laughing. Chris gave Carlos a respectful look.
" And after a minute of silence, I sat down with him on the bed and we talked and talked. We told each other about the crushes we had on each other. How our feelings were growing the more we worked with one another. That day, we became official but we didn't want ya'll to know until later." She concluded. Carlos threw his hands in the air.
" You just had to tell them the story didn't you Becca?" She rolled her eyes at him and turned back to Claire.
" Anyway, that's how it happened." Claire smiled at Carlos.
" Aww, Carlos was a romantic. What happened?' She taunted. Carlos just blew her off.
" All right all right. Enough with the embarrassment. Aye" Jill looked at Chris.
" Remember when we were like that. You didn't' want anyone to know how we got together." Chris nodded.
" Yeah, I remember. It doesn't matter now. I'm just glad we did." Chris turned to Claire.
" You feeling better sis? You're being sarcastic again?" Claire chuckled. " Yeah, I'm okay now." At that moment the waiter walked back up to them and took their order.
From there the gang talked about what had happened the last few days and about each other's getting together. Unintentionally this subject brought up the Bahamas and with that came memories of happier times. As the others kept up the conversation Claire quieted down and became lost in thought. Although she had felt better, that didn't mean she was 100% again.
Jill sighed in relief as the group walked back to the car. For once dinner had gone uneventful and was actually quite enjoyable. Well, except for Chris and Carlos' on going spat over some football game she didn't have the slightest bit of interest in. At that moment Juliana was in her arms and whimpering. Almost instantly Jill began to rub her softly on the back and coo to her slightly to calm her down. After the past few days with her, Jill figured she was wrong about Juliana's personality. She was actually pretty calm. Something that came from Becca no doubt.
" Okay, next stop. You guy's place." Chris said to Becca as he started up the car. Carlos and Rebecca looked at each other and back to Chris and grinned. Rebecca ventured on.
" Um, Chris, can we stay at your house tonight?" Chris turned back around and looked at them with question.
" Why?" The other couple shrugged. Chris looked at Jill who was chuckling, then to Claire who shrugged back at him. Chris didn't know why the two didn't want to go home but as long as the two of them were quiet he didn't care.
" Okay, but you two better not be up to anything stupid. Mainly you Carlos." Chris told them as he finally pulled out. Chris was focused on the road when Jill tapped him on the arm. Chris turned to her.
" How about we rent a movie? That'll keep them occupied for a while." Jill suggested.
" Okay. We can do that. Besides I gotta go to work in the morning. So I'm gonna stay up for a while and then turn in. You off tomorrow?" Chris asked. Jill thought for a second.
" Yeah, I am. I can take them home in the Camry tomorrow. I tell you it feels like we're babysitting." Jill said as she glance back at the others who were in some trivial dispute over something Jill could care less about. Chris chuckled.
" We're not to far away from it."
It was going on 7:45 by the time they had arrived at Blockbuster. This time there were no problems getting out the car. Once they reached the door, Chris spoke up to everyone.
" Okay, here's the deal. Grab about 2 or 3 movies and some popcorn. Be quick about it too. "Claire". He finished off with emphasis on her name. Claire threw him a nasty look.
" You're the one who takes to takes forever just to order a sandwich at McDonald's. I timed you. It took you 3 minutes and 12 seconds just to order a damn Double Cheeseburger. And another thing..." Claire was cut off by Jill. Rebecca and Carlos were snickering at the two siblings evilly.
" Claire, we all know about your brother's many issues, but Chris is right. Let's just go and get the tapes okay." Jill tried to reason. Claire nodded and stuck her tongue out at Chris before walking into the store. Becca looked back and forth between the two.
" Am I glad I'm an only child or what."
This was the first time all of them had gone to the movie store at the same time so this was challenge for them all. While Claire went with Chris and Jill to the Comedy section we can only guess were Rebecca and Carlos went.
" Let's get this Becca." Carlos whined trying to persuade Rebecca to agree with him. He held the Total Recall Widescreen Edition DVD in his hand. Rebecca groaned. " Oh come on Carlos, for once can we get a movie from the 90's or something. Or how about we get a movie where somebody doesn't die. That would be just great." She added sarcastically. Carlos looked at her.
" Where's the fun in that?" He answered just about as confused as he looked. Rebecca just stared at him a little bit longer while Juliana was pulling on the collar of her shirt.
" You're hopeless. Okay, how about Titanic. It's mushy in the beginning but towards the latter part of the movie there's a lot of action scenes." Rebecca offered. Carlos took the case to the DVD and thought about it for a second. He nodded.
" Okay. I've been picking all the movies lately haven't I?" He laughed. Rebecca rolled her eyes and proceeded to the checkout.
" Okay, what did you guys get?" Chris asked as they all got in line. Rebecca held up the box after she handed Juliana to Carlos.
" Titanic. After a long going battle with Captain Kill over here." She said nodded over to Carlos. He sucked his teeth at her remark.
" Well, we got Final Destination one and two so that makes 3 movies. Are you sure you guys don't want to stop by your houses before we go?" Jill asked. Claire thought for a minute.
" I suppose we can get a change of clothes. Besides, Juliana doesn't have anything to sleep in." She answered rolling her eyes at the poor girls parents. Carlos looked at her with realization.
" Oh Yeah." With that, Chris paid for the movies and they started towards Carlos and Becca's apartment.
It was going on nine o'clock when Chris finally pulled into his and Jill's familiar driveway. Stretching for a bit he yawned as he got out of the car. Jill followed him up the stairs and he pulled her closer to him as he unlocked the door.
" What have we gotten ourselves into Jilly?" He asked lowly as he opened the door. Carlos , Claire, and Rebecca were piling out from the backseat. Carlos was carry his and Rebecca's things while Claire carried her own. Rebecca had Juliana, who was now crying, in her arms.
" Another long night. Nyquil is going to be so good to me tonight." Jill joked as she and Chris hung up their coats. Chris grinned sly.
" Is Nyquil better than me at putting you to sleep?" Chris asked with suavel Jill just eyed him before wrapping her arms around his neck and breathing into his ear seductively.
" Nothing is better at putting me to sleep than you Chris. Nothing in the world." Jill laughed softly. She had said it to make it seem like a joke but in fact she was dead serious. Chris satisfied her in more ways than one.
" Becca, if you don't tell Carlos to shut his mouth I'm going kill him!" Came Claire's shouting interrupting Chris and Jill's moment. Chris gave them a pissed off look and Jill just pulled his face back to face her and smirked.
" Forget them." She said before kissing him again. It didn't matter to her that the front door was still open or that Claire was trying to strangle the living daylights out of Carlos.
After Carlos and Claire had taken their argument to the living room, Rebecca walked up to Chris and Jill with an innocent look.
" Maybe if we started the movie, then they'll calm down." She suggested. Jill chuckled at the girl's childlike appearance. She looked too cute. Especially with Juliana in her arms like one of those Cabbage Patch Dolls.
" Yeah, let's go ahead and watch the movie. I heard that Final Destination 2 was awesome but I want to see the first one first." Chris said as he started towards the living room. Jill followed him and went into the kitchen. Rebecca locked the front door and followed them.
A few hours later
Carlos and Rebecca's labored breathing could be heard throughout the living room. Rebecca was cuddled next to him on the floor while Juliana's temporary rocker was next to them. Claire had one eye open and one eye slowly closing as the end of Final Destination 2 played on the screen. Finally she gave up trying to stay awake and closed her eyes.
" Chris, Jill I'm going to sleep. Night." Claire said sleepily as she pulled the covers up over her. Chris was cleaning up the popcorn mess that Juliana had made Carlos cause. She had coughed up on him and he accidentally threw his hands up and hit his arm on the edge of the table causing the bowl to fall. He stopped and tucked Claire in the covers she was wrapped up in.
" Night Claire." After doing that he turned on the lamp and turned off the t.v. Jill was looking at him clean up and yawning at the same time.
" You ready for bed now? You gotta work tomorrow." She asked getting up and helping Chris throw the trash away and straighten up.
" Yeah, I'm surprised that we outlasted them. Usually me and you will get tired of their antics and go upstairs and ... You know." Chris said slyly. Jill nodded with a smile of her own.
" Uh huh, I know. But tonight I'm wasted. Let's try to sleep all right?" She told him as they started towards the stairs.
" Fine by me. I'm beat too." Chris agreed.
As he opened the door to their bedroom he yawned before kicking off his flip flops and changing into his nightwear which really just consisted of boxers and an undershirt. Jill too changed. Mainly a really long t-shirt and her undergarments.
Sliding into bed, Jill crawled up onto her usually spot which was on top of him. One leg draped over one of his. Chris appreciated her closeness, especially since it was getting colder now. Chris brushed her hair around. Jill smiled.
" Today has been a good day hasn't Chris?" Jill asked. She listened to his heartbeat and waited for his reply. He made a hmm sound in agreement.
" Let's sleep now." Chris said as he turned off their room lamp, leaving the late autumn moon to shine through the blinds. Jill closed her eyes.
" Okay. I love you." She told him as she drifted off. Chris tightened their embrace unconsciously.
" I love you too Jilly." Those were his last words for the night. After that, the Redfield residence was but a dream.
Author's Note: Okay, first off, I'm lazy. Plain and Simple. I could've had this chapter out last week but stuff happens. Anyway, hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter. I've been a little down lately. Don't know why. So I would love to hear some feedback. Hopefully good feedback. And just to remind you this story is coming to an end real soon. Like as in the next 5 chapters. Okay, enough crap. Keep Reading and Reviewing and don't eat too much ice cream. Aye. Until Next Time
