Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, chapter 8!

Heheheh.

She Could Be The One

Claire smiled a bit.

"If that has you smiling, what I'm about to say next will have you smiling even more."

Claire turned to Jill.

"Your going to be an aunt."

Claire didn't know what to say. "Really?" Jill nodded. "But... I thought you couldn't get pregnant."

"I know, so did I. But, turns out I'm 4 months along. I found out last week." She said excitedly. Claire smiled again. "I'm happy for you. I've always wanted to be an aunt. Is it a boy or a girl?" She asked. Jill shrugged. "I don't know yet. I find out next week."

"Your not even showing."

Jill nodded. "Let's see how long that'll last. She chuckled. Chris sat down on the other side next to Claire. "Are you gonna be okay sis?" She nodded. "If I want to make things right, I have to go win back Steve."

"That's the spirit!" Jill said.

The Next day...

Ada was getting ready. She had a black skirt that was a few inches above her knee and a red blouse. She finished by adding a bit of red lipstick.

She left her place and drove to Umbrella Corp.

Steve had just arrived. He parked his car and got out. He saw Ada waiting there for him. "Hey. Hope I didn't keep you waiting." She smiled and shook her head.

"Don't worry, you didn't." Steve opened the door for her. "After you." Ada grinned and went in followed by Steve.

Leon woke up to find himself on his couch. He rubbed his eyes and sighed. "'Guess I fell asleep..." He got up and took a shower. Leon got dressed and went out for breakfast. He went to Caitlin's diner. Caitlin smiled when she saw him and went up to him.

"Hey there. I haven't seen you around here in ages. How ya been hon'?" She asked as he sat down and she got him some coffee. "Not too good Cait."

She frowned and sat in front of him. "What's wrong? I haven't seen you this down in the sack in forever."

Leon looked down. "I did a really stupid thing..."

Caitlin sat back. "How stupid?"

"Worse than the time I entered that pie eating contest for that money prize even though I was allergic to blueberries." He said and chuckled a bit. Caitlin gasped. "Goodness, what the hell did you do? Did you kill someone?" She asked with concern.

He shook his head. "I slept with Claire..."

She tilted her head to the side. "You broke up with the asian woman? Awww, I always knew you two would end up together!" Caitlin said with a smile. Leon shrugged. "It's not like that. I'm still with Ada. Claire and I had a drunken one night stand. Steve found out and dumped her, and Ada doesn't know I accidently cheated on her..."

Leon looked up at Caitlin to see her with her jaw dropped and her eyes wide as heck.

"Aren't you gonna say something?"

Caitlin went back to normal. "What do you want me to say? You two did a very stupid thing. You two already know that. All I can say is that you have to tell Ada, and if she really loves you, then she'll understand since this was an accident. And as for Claire, you have to work it out with her and talk to her. Even if it's awkward for both of you."

"Do you think things will go back to how they were between me and Claire?" Leon couldn't help but ask.

"I'm sorry to say this... but no. It won't. If it does, I can guarantee you it wont be anytime soon." Leon nodded. He was already expecting that answer. Caitlin got up.

She took her notepad and pen out her apron pocket. "So what'll it be?" Leon thought about it for a bit. "Hmm... pancakes please." She nodded and went back. Then the door opened. Claire went in and saw Leon sitting there. At first, she thought about leaving but decided to talk to him.

"Hey Leon..."

He turned around and saw Claire standing there. "Mind if I sit?" He nodded and she sat.

They were silent for a few seconds until Claire broke the silence. "How ya been?"

"I've been better. You?"

"Hmm... I've been better." She said. "How are things with Steve?" He asked. She lowered her head. "He won't return any of my phone calls. I'm planning to visit him later at his job and try to get him to talk to me." Claire said. "Does Ada know?" Leon shook her head.

"I'm scared to tell her... I'm sorry Claire." She shook her head. "Don't. We can't change what happened, so we might as well move on and put that in the past." He nodded in agreement. "I was hoping you'd say that. Want some coffee?"

She shook her head. "No thanks."

Leon was a bit surprised. "Gasp, Claire Redfield refusing coffee? Who are you and what have you done with the real Claire?" He asked trying to get a giggle out of her which is just what he got and she giggled.

"I just don't want any. I went over board on ice cream last night and now I'm not feeling too well, so no to coffee." She said.

"How many cartons?"

"More like buckets, 3 of them." Claire said as she laughed. "My god woman. No wonder you don't feel good." Leon said as he joined in the laughing. Caitlin came with Leon's pancakes which also brought bacon and toast. "Want anything?" Leon asked.

"Just your toast." She said as she took it and started nibbling on it. "What are we gonna do?" Claire asked as she put the toast down.

Leon shook his head slowly. "I don't know. Only time will tell."

Meanwhile...

Steve just got out of a meeting. Ada was waiting for him outside. "Hey there. I'm so sorry. I didn't know there was going to be a meeting today." Ada shook her head. "Don't worry about it. A business man gotta do what a business man gotta do."

"Still want that tour?" He asked. "You know I do." She chuckled. "Obviously I wont be able to give you a tour of the whole place, 51 floors plus the rooms on each floor, but I can show you the basics." Steve said. "The basics it is then."

Steve showed her around and introduced her to some of his colleagues.

While they were walking to Steve's office Ada noticed a room they passed by. She saw people in biohazard suits working with chemicals. She walked back. "Steve?" He turned around. "Yeah? What's up?" She pointed. "What's in this room?" She asked. "Just some testing." He said. "Now common." He took her by the arm and they walked to his office. "Nice office you got here." She said as she looked around.

"Thanks." Steve sat down in front of his desk. On his desk he saw a picture of him and Claire smiling together with his arm around her in Central Park. He sighed and put the picture away. "So Ada, if you'd like, I can get you an interview. I won't guarantee anything, but I can try to make it happen."

She smiled and walked up to him. "Your an amazing guy." He got up and smiled back at her. "Thank you." Ada got closer to him and hugged him. Steve hugged her back.

Before they knew it, they were looking into eachother's eyes and kissed.

'When I kissed Steve... Leon's image came to my mind. I didn't know why. I felt really guilty...

Maybe it was because...

I was actually falling for Leon Kennedy...'

After they parted Steve didn't know what to say exactly. "Ada..."

"I'm sorry." She apoligized. "I guess I got caught up in the moment." She said. "No no. It's fine. Hey, wanna grab lunch?" He offered. Ada nodded. "Yea, I'd like that." They both left and went down.

Claire was on her way. She parked her car and got out. She went in. "Murphy! Hey Murphy." Murphy was a security guard and a friend of Claire and Steve. "Hey Claire, haven't seen you around in a while. Where ya been?"

She chuckled. "Around. Is Steve here?"

"Yeah. Your right on time too, Steve should be down any minute to go to lunch."

Claire smiled. "Thanks Murphy."

As she was about to press the button for the elevator, it opened and she saw Steve laughing with Ada.

Claire just looked at them. Steve faced forward and saw Claire standing there. Ada stayed silent.

"Steve..."
