Eternally Yours

Chapter Twelve

„So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry
So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side" – If We Have Eachother – Alec Benjamin

Disclaimer: I do not own the song, neither Resident Evil. I'm just writing this instead of planning my wedding. This seems funnier. And easier.

February was on. It came faster than expected. It was now a month since they've found out that they're expecting a new family member. Claire didn't apply to any other High School. Even thought, her old High School wanted her back, but didn't return. She decided to stay home. But it was harder than she expected. She got used to all the „lady" stuff around the house, to clean and cook, but it seemed harder, since she was in her first trimester and it was weird to cook other foods, besides what she loved. But one day, speed everything up.
She woke up alone, as usual. Then tryied to get herself to the bathroom, but she almost collapsed on her way to the bathroom. The pain what kicked in her stomach was about to kill her off. She cryied so hard, even thought, she knew nobody would hear her crying. She reached out for her phone and quickly dialed 911…
Claire woke up tot he bright lights. She was in the hospital, all alone. She thought. She stand up then looked around, but still nobody. She thought they will contact Chris about it, and can be here with her.

„You're awake?" The nurse asked as she walked in.

„I am… I guess." Claire answered.

„So I can let them in, finally." The nurse stepped back as she let three people in.

Claire was confused a little, then reliefed by the thought that it was only the three people who she trusted in.

„Have you heard anything about my situation?" Claire asked.

„Stress. So much stress that it hurt them." Ada answered, as she pointed on Claire's belly.

„You have to slow down." Chris said, as he hugged her.

„I want to, but I can't." Claire sighed. „I'm all alone at home."

„You have to leave now everything for me." Chris smiled. „I will take a few days off then you will get your strenght back."

„And I am also free, so I'm willing to help you." Ada said.

„And of course, Claire. You can count on me as well." Leon added.

„Thank you, all." Claire smiled. „It's all good to hear and I am really thankfull for you."

Since everything was alright, they let Claire home for the night. Their friend made sure that they've got home safe, then went on their other way. After all it felt good to have other friends to trust in, too. Since after the accident, Kelly's and Claire's relationship broke over, by Kelly's all time partying and Claire not finding fun in it already. And will never find fun it, afterwards. Her life will change in this year, and it will get a whole new meaning. A family, she never had.
The family life of the Redfields were always hard. Claire was young when their parents died, but at the last year, they were alive, she remembered how hard she always cryied when their father beated Chris up by the fact for dating with a boy. How broken the kids were, and nothing will reassure it for them. Then living with their aunt until Chris finally turned 18, then moved out to have their own life. Everything was hard, but now they're building their family up.

„Don't you think it's crazy?" Claire asked.

„What is crazy?" Chris asked as he walked back to her.

„Never having a family, then we're in the middle of having our own." Claire said.

„Kindda crazy, but I know we will do anything to make it perfect." Chris said.

„I just still can't believe the last memory of our parents was the worst." Claire sighed.

„The worst is that I still have the scar…" Chris said. „When I fell off the stairs."

„And I've stayed in the bathtub with you, to not be alone." Claire said.

„And after they've fucking died." Chris laughed a bit. „Karma hit them back."

„What happened?" Claire cryied out as she saw Chris.

His clothes were all half ripped, and covered almost all in blood. His mouth was bleeding, and his left arm was all strached.

„I'm alright…" Chris whispered.

„No!" Claire screamed. „You're not!" Claire grabbed his arm and all dragged him away, to the bathroom. As Chris heard the footsteps getting faster he pushed Claire away and closed the bathroom door on themselfs.

„We're safe." Chris turned to Claire.

„Get the fuck out of there!" They've heard their father screaming.

„What's wrong?" Claire asked.

„They've found about him…" Chris cryied. Tears all covered his little face. „Dad found us, and he dragged me all way home because he's a damn bithc!"

„I'm so sorry about it." Claire sighed. „Let's just get this mess done."

„What do you mean?" Chris asked.

„Look at yourself." Claire said. „You're all covered in blood."

„Alright, just… stay with me." Chris said.

Something made Claire feel that she never wants to leave this place, and never want to leave Chris. But she never knew it until now, how hard those words collapsed into Claire's life. The darkness around the bathroom was just fine. Claire was sitting on the ground, Chris was sitting in the bathtub. His blood covered clothes were staying in the garbage can. She waited for him. She will wait for him.

Claire woke up in the middle of the night to realize, she wasn't a kid anymore. She felt the dream so realistic, she almost losed everything in that.

„Everything okay?" Chris yawned as he turned to her.

„I had the same dream as yesterday…" Claire answered.

„About what?" Chris asked.

„The night when our parents died…" Claire answered.

„It's over now…" Chris pulled Claire closer to him. „We have eachother now."

„I've stayed with you now and then…" Claire said, before she could fall asleep.

„I know you did…" Chris muttered, then gave a little kiss to Claire's forehead.

A/N: So currently we are still having school lockdown. I did some work and skipping online classes, because I don't really care about it. It's all okay, my grades are fine. I'm hoping to push everything for this fanfiction when I'm free from work, but it's kindda sad for not working, because of this "cucumber season". I'm hoping for march to come soon as fast to be able to work again like in December.
