Okay I think I need to say this I don't own the Care Bears ( You'll see
why) and I don't own any rights to the movie In and Out. Other than that
hope you enjoy.

Walking into the living room Rebecca realized she too was hungry. Going to the kitchen she fixed herself a plate of chicken and when the microwave went off she pulled the plate out being careful not to burn herself. Rebecca sat at the kitchen table and that's when she saw the note:
Becca,
Gone to the movies, didn't think you'd
want to go. Be back later.
Chris and the gang
"Well that explains why no one else came down when Wesker called." She said out loud to herself.
As Rebecca finished her meal and began to clean up she heard the front door open. Chris and Carlos were apparently debating the movie they had just seen. Carlos was laughing at a remark Chris made. Rebecca liked hearing him laugh it seemed so rich and full of life. It was one of the things that she found irresistible about Carlos. Rebecca just wished he was more interested in her than he was. Things couldn't stay the way they were, she knew that much. I'm going to have to leave. I can't stay here not like this. She made up her mind, after Isabel had the baby Rebecca knew she had to leave. Greeting everyone with a smile she walked into the living room.
"How was the movie guys?" she asked purposely not looking at Carlos.
"It was okay, Jill got to pick. We ended up see In and Out." Chris said rolling his eyes.
"So I'm going to take it there were no explosions in it then."
"Not really. He replied.
"Have you heard anything from Isabel and Wesker?" Jill asked yawning.
"Yeah, he had me look her over, she's fine." Rebecca answered.
Rebecca didn't see any need to worry the group and Isabel wouldn't be happy if she told them anyway.
"Are they talking to each other? They had a big fight, threats and all." Claire asked looking a little worried.
"They seemed to have made up, last I saw them Isabel was almost asleep and using him for a pillow."
"Well that's good, sort of." Chris spoke up from next to the coat rack where he was hanging up his jacket and baseball cap.
Everyone else seemed to be relieved that things seemed to have settled between them as much as everyone disliked Wesker, Isabel needed him. The house was still filled with tension though and everyone felt it. They all knew that it had to do with Carlos and Rebecca.
"I'm going to bed guys." Rebecca said still not looking at Carlos.
"Yeah me too." Claire said walking to the stairs.
"That sounds good." Chris said following suite.
It was the general consensus from the rest of the group that the day was over as they all filed upstairs and readied themselves for bed.
Rebecca tossed and turned for two hours before she finally got up and went to the living room. Putting on the television she made sure the volume was low enough as not to disturb anyone. There Rebecca sat on the couch watching late night television. She thought that once she'd made the decision to leave that everything would be easier. Instead Rebecca still couldn't sleep. She was sad that she had to leave her friends, but Rebecca needed to deal with her feelings before she did something really stupid. Rebecca just hoped she could make it through the next five months. Of course with all the studying she'd been doing about pregnancies and delivery she was beginning to think Isabel might not make it that long. She was definitely bigger than she should be for four and a half months. Rebecca hadn't said anything about it to her because she didn't wasn't to worry Isabel, but Rebecca was contemplating speaking to Wesker about it.
Lying in bed Carlos heard a door open in the hallway and footsteps going down stairs. Figuring someone else was having trouble sleeping he got up to keep them company. As he walked down the stairs Carlos realized it was Rebecca and almost turned around and went back to his room. Seeing the tired expression on her face stopped Carlos. Rebecca needed to sleep and since she seemed to do pretty well sleeping in his arms he decided to take her back upstairs with him.
"That's going to give you nightmares." Carlos said walking up to the back of the couch.
Rebecca turned around in surprise upon hearing Carlos' voice.
"It's Care Bears, how will that give me nightmares?" She asked.
"Fine when you have nightmares about pastel bears trying to hug you to death don't come running to me." Carlos said smiling.
Rebecca forgot herself for a moment and laughed at the absurd mental image.
"You need to get some rest." Carlos said sobering.
"I'm fine." She answered all traces of laughter gone.
"No you aren't you look exhausted."
"I'll be okay." She said stubbornly.
"Come on I'll tuck you in." He wasn't going to let it rest.
"I said I'm fine, why won't you believe me?" Rebecca said irritation creeping over her.
"Because you're my friend and I care about you, and I know you're lying." Carlos hadn't realized how much he cared about her until he had spoken it.
"So the way I see it you have two choices. You can come upstairs with me on your own or I can carry you up." He finished.
"Well your going to have to carry me, because I plan on staying right here."
Rebecca was trying to hold her ground, but she knew that Carlos would have no problem carrying her. She didn't put much past him anymore.
"Fine have it your way." Carlos said walking around the couch.
Rebecca half expected Carlos to pick her up the way he had before, but he didn't. Placing an arm under her legs and the other around her back he easily lifted Rebecca off the couch. Letting Carlos carry her up stairs she didn't fight at all. As much as Rebecca knew she shouldn't let this happen she wanted to be near him more. She was surprised when Carlos walked past her bedroom door and as quiet as possible opened his. Walking past the bed that Leon occupied Carlos placed Rebecca on his.
"I thought..." She started to say when Carlos put his index finger to his lips and made a shh sound.
Rebecca thought he was simply going to "tuck her in". She hadn't expected him to bring her to his bed.
Silently Carlos motioned for her to scoot over. Without even thinking she made room for him on the bed. As he slipped into bed next to Rebecca, Carlos kissed her on the top of the head whispering.
"Get some sleep, good night."
Torn between trying to sneak away after Carlos fell asleep and staying close to him, Rebecca knew she wasn't strong enough to leave. Laying back and closing her eyes Rebecca almost immediately fell asleep.
She was in the training facility again, it was cold as it had been when they had arrived and the smell of rotting meat filled the air. Everything was exactly the same as the last time Rebecca had been in the main hall. The picture of Dr. Marcus was hung on the landing of the steps in front of her. The statue of the woman holding the scales stood on the landing above that. The candle flames flickered as she walked past. The ornate surroundings hadn't diminished in her memory one bit. There on the landing in front of the portrait was Billy. He was bleeding from a wound on his shoulder and he was calling to her, but she couldn't hear what he was saying. There was a sound of footsteps behind her and she turned, gun ready, to see who they belonged to but there was no one. When she turned back around to help Billy he was no longer there, in his place was Carlos. Rebecca called out to him, but he didn't answer. He started walking towards her with the unsteady gate of a carrier, she knew then what she had to do. Rebecca raised her gun when Carlos was a few feet in front of her, but looking into his once handsome face she hesitated and he grabbed her trying to bite. Rebecca fought with all her might, but then he was gone and she was falling into darkness. Suddenly she wasn't falling anymore, she was being held by two strong arms. Looking up Rebecca saw that it was Carlos and he was normal again. After looking down at her a few minutes he spoke.
"Becca wake up your having a nightmare."
When Rebecca opened her eyes she was staring directly into Carlos' brown ones. She could see concern in them and it made her feel bad that she worried him. Reaching out to touch his face to make sure this wasn't another dream. Carlos took her off guard by gently kissing her finger tips.
"Same dream as before?" He asked in a hushed tone so he didn't wake Leon.
"Yes and No." She replied her voice level matching his.
"Want to tell me about it?"
"I will tomorrow, right now I'd like to go back to sleep if you don't mind me sleeping in your arms like this." She said yawning.
"Of course not." He replied pulling her even closer to him.
In that moment Rebecca felt as if she were the safest person in the world and it helped her fall back into a dreamless sleep
Carlos was being shaken awake. At first he thought Rebecca had another nightmare, but when he opened his eyes he saw she was sleeping soundly snuggled so close to him you couldn't have fit a sheet of paper between them. Turning over as much as he could while still holding her, Carlos saw that it was Leon who had awakened him and he didn't look happy.
"We need to talk. Now!" Leon said looking at Rebecca.
Nodding his head Carlos gently eased Rebecca off his left arm. She gave an unhappy moan and rolled over apparently still asleep. Carefully getting off the bed so not to wake her Carlos followed Leon out into the hallway. When Carlos had quietly closed the door Leon spoke.
"What the hell do you think your doing?"
"Huh?" Was all Carlos could say being half asleep and not expecting this.
"That kid's got a big enough crush on you as it is. You doing stuff like that only serves to confuse her more. You'll just end up hurting her. Leon said continuing with his rant.
Carlos started to defend his actions when what Leon said finally sunk in.
"Crush? Really?" He asked stunned.
"Damn you're dense, everyone in the house knows about it. Where have you been for the last twelve months?" Leon said shaking his head in disbelief.
"She's just a kid, she doesn't know which way is up when it comes to men. He continued.
"Yeah and Claire is so much older." Carlos spat back his voice laced with sarcasm. In his opinion Leon had no room to talk. Looking Carlos straight in the eye and not even pausing for a moment he answered him.
"Yes, but I'm in love with Claire and she knows it. Can you say the same thing about Rebecca?"
Leon stated his love for Claire with such conviction and certainty Carlos was stunned. He knew that they were close, but he had no idea that their feelings ran that deep. It was amazing how you could live in the same house with people and not really know them at all. Could I feel that way about Rebecca? He asked himself. Carlos was beginning to think that given time he could.
Leon stood there silently waiting for a reply. Carlos was just staring at him as if he didn't know what to say. He liked Rebecca it was hard not to. She always seemed to have a good outlook on things and she was never impatient with anyone. Leon also liked Carlos he was a good guy, but he seemed to flirt with every female alive and Leon didn't want to see Rebecca get hurt by him. He figured it was better that he talk to Carlos instead of Chris. Chris would just end up threatening him and Carlos being just as hot headed as Chris would probably start a fight.
"I don't know, I think I could at some point." Carlos finally replied.
"Are you serious? Because if your not..." Leon started.
"I am, I didn't realize it until recently but I think I may be falling for her. Carlos cut in.
"If you're sure about that then you need to tell Rebecca."
"Tell Rebecca what?" Rebecca said from behind Leon.
When Rebecca saw the look on both of their faces it reminded her of kids being caught in the cookie jar. She just couldn't figure out why the looked so guilty.
"I'm going to leave you two to talk." Leon said going down stairs.
Standing in the hallway Carlos and Rebecca just stared at each other neither one knowing what to say. It was Carlos that finally broke the silence.
"I need to tell you where I stand."
"Carlos, I know we're just friends and that you're just trying to help me with my nightmares. I also know that you're just kidding when you do things like yesterday." She said blushing at the thought of the kiss.
"Rebecca would you just shut up a minute?" He said with a sigh.
"No, let me finish. After Isabel has the baby I'm going to move out. That way you don't have to worry I'll get the wrong impression."
"Why? You already have the wrong impression." He said his voice filled with anger.
"Why are you so angry? I'm just trying to keep our friendship."
"What if I don't want to keep our friendship?" He asked stepping towards her.
Before Carlos knew what he was doing he had Rebecca in his arms and was kissing her. To his surprise and relief she was kissing him back. When it ended Rebecca just stared at him wide eyed as if asking what was going to happen next. To be truthful Carlos didn't know, he was only sure that he couldn't let her leave.
"I don't want you to leave and I don't want to be just friends anymore. I'm not sure but I think I may be falling for you." Carlos told her not able to look her in the eye, afraid of what he might see there.
Rebecca thought she was hearing things or worse yet she was still dreaming. She never thought she'd hear Carlos say those things, to her at least. Placing a hand on each side of his face forcing him to look her in the eyes Rebecca asked the first thing that came to mind.
"Are you sure, I'm not..."
Carlos silenced her with a finger to her lips.
"Your not my usual type I know, but to me you are the most beautiful woman in this house," and with that he kissed her again.
Rebecca felt as if she were in a dream. She had a crush on Carlos from the first time she'd met him, but now she knew that it was more. Maybe not love, but and intense liking and who knew maybe one day it would be even more on both their parts.
"You know we should probably shower and get dressed." Carlos said still holding her after the kiss ended.
"Hmm, your shower or mine?" She asked trying not to blush and ruin her joke.
For only the second time since she'd known him Carlos was speechless. He almost had a look of sheer terror on his face.
"I um, well um, I was planning on taking things a little more slowly than that." He replied turning beet red.
What the hell is wrong with me? Was all he could think. Carlos had women be this forward before and had no problem taking them up on their offer. Why was he turning into a babbling idiot now? The answer came to him fairly quickly. Because you want it to be different with her.
Rebecca seeing the stunned look on his face knew she went too far.
"It was just a joke Carlos, I'm sorry." She said putting her arms around his neck and giving him a peck on the cheek.
"Man you really need to shave." She finished giving him a slight laugh.
Carlos couldn't believe it she had finally bested him and he was proud of her for it.
"Go take your shower, I'll see you down stairs for breakfast." He said heading for his room.
"Carlos"
"Yes"
"How fast do you want to take this?" She asked seriously form her doorway.
"As slow as you need to." He answered flashing a smile and walking into his room.
