Chapter 6- Planning the Future
She was so happy about what the doctor had told her, and that fact that she has conceived a child and all the signs seem great, she only wished for Chris to be there, to share this moment with him.
A knock at the door brought Jill out of her thoughts and dreams. She watched the door open slowly at first, then Claire walked in and straight to Jill's side, Leon had followed Claire in and closed the door behind him.
"Jill, are you feeling okay? You look like you've been crying?" Claire sounded a little off, hoping not to here any bad news.
"I'm fine.. great actually? Listen Claire, the doctor told me something that's going to change mine and Chris' life as much as it is yours.." Jill pulled herself up into a seating position with her legs hanging over the edge of the bed before looking into Claire's eyes, a huge smile crept on Jill's face.
"I'm Pregnant!"
"W-What?" Claire looked a thousand shades of grey. Not sure whether it's a dream or if it's actually real? A smile stretched over Claire's face as she nearly screamed at the top of her voice whilst grabbing Jill into a warm suffocating hug.
"JILL! YOUR PREGNANT! THAT'S AMAZING NEWS!"
"Wow Jill! Congratulations" Leon added as he stretched his arm out to Jill's shoulder whilst reasting the other on Claire's lower back.
"Thanks guys.." Jill just kept smiling. Before Claire pulled away from their embrace, both Jill an Leon noticed the tears streaming down Claire's eyes.
"Claire what's wrong?" Leon asked as he pulled her close to his chest, the sound of his heartbeat calmed her down enough to speak.
"I just wish Chris was here.." was all she could say before Jill stood up and grabbed her and held Claire's face levels to hers.
"He is coming back! He'll always be here! I miss him so much! But we cant give up on him. You've got his little niece or nephew to look after now!" she pulled her into another hug and tears began to fall down Jill's face aswell.
"don't worry Claire, if Chris is anything like you, nothing will stop him from getting home to see you, and Jill.. and his first born" Leon placed his hands on Claire's shoulders from behind. Claire started to whip away her tears as she excused herself to use the bathroom to freshen up.
"Leon..?" Jill asked just before he followed Claire out the room
"I want you to be honest with me" He started feeling a bit worried at what she wanted to ask him, but he kind of had an idea of what she was going to ask.
"how much do you 'care' for Claire?" She looked him straight in the eyes, there not one person that can lie to her when she shows those innocent eyes.
"I care for her very much, as do you?" smooth Leon... he answered with intentions in avoiding the topic altogether.
"she means more to you than anything doesn't she?" she said straight out.
He was about to say something but then looked to the floor, busted!
"more than you could ever know.."
a small, simple smile crept up on her face before she spoke again.
"You mean a lot to her as well.. later tonight when she's calmed down, tell her just how much she means to you, before it's too late." she said before she walked out the room.
"Jill! Thanks.." he called out to her.
May 11th 2013
It had been quite a few weeks since the whole attack on Jill and finding out that she was pregnant, no came the day she wanted to share with Chris among other times but she would to love this moment with him. It was early afternoon and Jill was very excited. She was in a small room laying on a somewhat comfortable table, the was a small T.V right next to the table, and a small chair next to that. She just lay there staring at the ceiling thinking how quick things are going with her.
"you excited?" a voice pulled her from her thoughts
"yes I am thank you" she replied
"great, you should be, this is always a great moment for expecting parents. Now are you ready to know what gender your baby is?" the nurse was so nice, and polite and if she was standing on a cloud.
"lets do it"
a few minutes had passed which the nurse was getting everything prepared.
"if you look on the screen, you'll see your very, very healthy baby"
Jill's face could not be described how happy she was, she still found it hard to believe that she was pregnant and the baby was healthy.
"looks like your about 23 weeks pregnant, not long to go now. I'd say your due date wouls be roughly the 23rd to the 29th September" the nurse added
not long at all..
"and you are having a baby... Boy, Congratulations" the nurse brought out her pad and started writing down notes
"A Boy?" Jill was stunned.
The scan was done and Jill walked out of the small room staring at the pictures in her hand of her son. I'm going to have a son.. Chris would be so happy..
"Jill!? Well? How'd it go? So am I having a niece of nephew? Is that the scan?" she asked as she looked at the pictures in her hand
"say hello to your nephew Claire.." she tore one of the pictures of and handed it to Claire.
"Nephew? Oh Jill that's great news! I'll give Leon a call" A few days after Jill left the hospital many weeks ago, Leon managed to tell Claire how much he cared for her, she took it very well because not so long after they shared there first passionate kiss, and have been dating ever since, they go out for movies or films at least once a week, maybe twice depending on their romantic moods.
When Jill got home she was having her natural cravings for vanilla ice-cream, so that's what she had. She sat in front of the T.V shovelling the ice-cream down her throat pretty fast when suddenly her phone started to ring.
"Hello?" she asked with a mouth full of ice-cream
"Hello, Agent Valentine, we finally got some news about the man that attacked you a few months ago, we managed to get him to sing, he told us that a spy named Ada Wong sent him to execute you, we also learned that she was the reason why Agent Redfield's men were killed, they were targeted for elimination, so they couldn't stop her plans. But we do not know what those plans are of yet?"
"I understand.. is they any news about Chris' where a bout's?"
"Agent Nivans has been investigating into his where a bout's, were not sure when he'll be reporting back to us, sorry."
"that's alright.." she let out a small sigh, hoping to here some news about Chris. It has been over 5 months since she hasn't seen him or heard his voice, she missed that so much.
"we'll keep you posted on any news, over and out" with that phone line went dead.
"your daddy is always trouble.. sometimes I don't know why we just don't go and get him?" she began speaking to her baby bump. She placed her hand on her abdomen.
"We'll we'd better get started on unpacking your clothes and toys, since we've got nothing else to do" she got up from her seat and headed up stairs.
"we've got to get everything ready for when you arrive, and when your daddy gets to hold you in his arms" whith that she felt her son kick, as she placed her hand to the right of her abdomen.
"I see that you fight when I say 'Daddy'?" when she said it again he kicked again.
"I miss him too baby.. I miss him too.."
