Who Are You?
After that kiss we had gone upstairs and at the risk of sounding sappy, everything felt a whole lot better. Wesker had given up Uroboros-- for me-- which made me wonder that some people can change and that things and people are always going to surprise you.
" What did you mean when you said you were 'going to fix it'?"
" Uroboros. It's not exactly perfect, but that is what happens when you rush things and skip corners."
" So... Uroboros is still a possibility?"
He looks over his shoulder at me, " not anytime soon, if it all."
We walk through the door and into the kitchen but I stop him right before he walks all the way in, " what is wrong with it, besides the whole using it to take over the world thing?"
" It's not exactly compatible with people."
I fold my arms across my chest, " then why was is it marked ready to go?"
" Time constraints Christopher, some people have no patience."
" Can I safely assume then that this is going to be an at home project?"
He shakes his head and leans in real close, " I never bring my work home with me. Though I do know what you mean, and yes Tricell has given up on Uroboros."
I stay silent for a minute. " Why do you want to rule the world so bad? And no matter what, the world, it is never going to be perfect, with or without Uroboros." In the middle of my mini-rant I had placed my hand on the side of his face.
I can hear the boys, Zhane, and Claire half-discussing half-debating in the kitchen over their game of Scrabble.
" Maybe I don't want it to be perfect anymore, just safe enough for my kids."
" The best way to achieve that, or to keep it, would be for you to stop this. Stop with the experimentation, and the viruses, the B.O.W.S. Everything." I take a breath thinking on my next words. " After everything settles down and they aren't looking for you anymore, that is going to help greatly in keeping them safe."
" Fine, if I were to do that and the hype on finding me died away and everything seems perfect, something is going to go horribly wrong and it will have all been for naught."
" We could handle that together if that ever happened. And if they somehow found you later, the fact that you have stopped everything and have just seemingly dropped off the Earth, that makes you look better." I shake my head, sigh and close my eyes. " Look, I love you and... I'll do my best to stand by you. But when there is a better option like this, I strongly urge you to think about it." I nod towards the kitchen indicating that we should go in now and we do so with no more said on the topic.
It seems that Claire has joined the game and they are now on teams; Claire and Zhane against Dominik and Dimitri. Claire and Zhane are doing well but Dom and Dimi seem to know bigger words and are kicking their butts. Despite that all four of them have huge grins on their faces and having tons of fun.
" Adding an 'O' here gives me the word Oxygen, plus the triple letter score bring us.. even with you guys." Zhane wears a triumphant smirk on his face.
Dimitri and Dominik look at the board, each other, Claire and Zhane, and then back to one another and quickly look at their letters to see what they can come up with. And then Dominik looks up with this grin, it has sent chills down my spine, and by the look on my sister's and her boyfriends face it has the same effect. He picks up the letter 'R' and then places it down on the board.
" Ribonucleic acid. I believe that we have won, with that word and the twotriple scoring letters we have." He holds up two fingers and has dimmed the smile so it isn't as menacing, a quick look to Dimitri and a simple smile is on his face.
I raise an eyebrow at the word, I know what it means, it's just that that is a big word. Looking closer at the board I can see other scientific words going every which way.
" Guys the idea of Scrabble is to have a fun time with friends or family, well okay that is the idea for every game." I look between the four of them.
" Dad, we are having fun." Dimitri states.
I sigh in a 'alright sure' way. " Do you still have to use such big words?" I smile anyway and the boys relax.
" Well we are up against two adults, it is only fair that we use our skills to the best of our ability." Dominik states, sounding alot like Wesker right then.
Claire and Zhane both make a noise of complaint at that. " You guys are super smart, we're not" Claire says waving a finger between her and Zhane.
They both shrug and start to pack up the game, Claire helps them put the stuff away and when everything is all clean they sit back at the table; hands folded waiting for something else to do.
Dimitri looks between Claire and Zhane, " You said earlier that Leon was going to your wedding; is this the same Leon that Ada knows?"
I can feel Wesker stiffen beside me but he doesn't say anything. Claire gains a confused look and then looks up to me and Wesker.
" Who is Ada? Though I am sure I have heard the name before." She asks the both of us.
" I don't know Dimi," I answer him and then look at Claire " A new found friend."
She nods and makes an 'o' with her mouth while Dimitri just nods his head at me. The room is silent for a few seconds with the twins looking around the room, Claire looks from Wesker to me and lastly the boys while Zhane just raises one eyebrow at the entire situation and is the one to break the silence in the kitchen.
" You do know that there is more to that name than either one of them are saying, right?"
She shrugs and nods her head " Yes but if my brother feels the need to keep this from me right now, well I will just have to wait until he is ready to share more." At the 'now' she gives me a stern look and I some how feel like I'm the younger sibling at the moment.
Dominik places his hands palm down on the table breaking the momentary silence once more, and pushes himself from the table. " Well I think it is time for me to catch up on my reading, you coming Dimitri?"
He asks as he heads out of the room his brother calmly gets up and follows him up the stairs to their separate bedrooms leaving the kitchen once again quite.
" Weren't they outside when I told you I was getting married?" Claire asks.
I shrug, " Claire they have super hearing." I answer her simply.
She rolls her eyes at me, " Yeah but I thought you had to tune in to actually hear that stuff or whatever?"
I shrug " Well then maybe they have developed telepathic mind reading or something." I tell her jokingly when she doesn't crack a smile I shrug once more " Claire I don't really know how they found out or if in fact they do know. Maybe they just heard Leon's name or something."
She makes a noise of agreeing and that is the end of that discussion.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
The rest of Claire and Zhane's visit went alot smoother and by the end of their stay my sister and I were on good terms once more. But who could blame her, she really doesn't hold grudges unless it really matters and I'm to 'cute' for her to stay mad at for very long.
Zhane takes the last bag from Dominik and then closes the trunk as Claire gives Abri and Dimitri a big hug goodbye, " I'll miss you guys."
They smile and hug her back, when she turns to give Dominik a hug goodbye they head over to Zhane and do the same. When she comes to me and say goodbye she looks about to cry and I give her a big hug.
" Aw shoot, these hormones are already acting up on me." We both laugh as we hug.
"Yeah and that isn't even the half of it, you get to look forward to a ton of bathroom trips, weird dreams, weird food cravings, morning sickness, just to name a few." She waves it off with a smile.
" Chris I've dealt with worse." I shrug and help her into the car ( even though she doesn't need it) and wave as they drive off.
" I really like her." Abri tells me as I pick her up and head back inside, the twins right behind me.
" Well that's good because she really likes you as well." I tell her and then set her down once we get back inside. " How about we go find daddy- er father I mean." The four of us head down stairs to where he is no surprise there.
He is sitting behind the desk and typing on his computer but when we all walk down and stand in front of him he slowly stops typing and raises an eyebrow questioningly at us. " Can I hep you with something?"
" I'm bored." Abri says as she walks over to him and then crawls into his lap causing him to push away from the desk slightly to make room for her.
He pulls her up into a more comfortable spot and then looks at me, " What about your dad?"
"Psh, we're all bored... Albert entertain us." I give him a fake huge grin.
He clears his throat and gives Abri a brief smile before gently sliding her off his lap and standing up, " Well it is rather late out, shouldn't you guys be getting to bed?"
" Father it is only eight." Dimitri tells him giving him a confused look.
Wesker turns and looks at him," Yes that may be but there is something I have to discuss with your dad."
" Oh." Is all he says before walking over to Abri and grabbing her hand as he starts to walk back up only stopping to wait for Dominik who seems more interested in what is going on now then going to bed.
" You to kid." Wesker tells him simply and Dominik replies with a slightly put out sigh but does nothing else to show hi complaint and follows his brother and sister upstairs.
Wesker stays quite even after they have walked all the way up and shut the door, in fact he doesn't speak until he hears them walking up the other stair to their bedrooms and hope that they aren't listening in.
" So what was it that you wanted to discuss?"
He moves around to the front of his desk and leans against it with his arms crossed in a comfortable manner before replying, " Well it isn't really to discuss about since the decision has already been made..." He stops and it seems that he is done until he pushes away from the desk and walks over towards me only to shove me into the wall and quickly covers my mouth in a kiss stopping all complaints. " I figured I'd better do this the right way... Will you marry me Christopher Redfield?"
I blink.
Blink again.
He quirks a brow, " Chris?"
" You didn't even get down on your knee or anything, plus where is the ring?"
His jaw drops a little and he steps away from the wall and me, " You are kidding right?" He sounds a tad irritated and I reach out and pull him closer towards me once more.
" Yes, to both of your questions." I shove him away gently and head back up, it only takes a second before he is right behind me walking up.
"... But seriously, where is the ring?"
He sighs and walks around me and into the kitchen my turn to follow him. " No Chris I do not have a ring for you as of yet, Claire doesn't have one either."
" So now you are copying Zhane?" I smirk when he freezes in his tracks and slowly turns to face me.
" No Christopher I just don't have a ring right this minute." He walks to the fridge and pulls out an apple runs it under the sink (after he turned it on) and then up to our bedroom.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
The next morning starts the same way as all the rest Wesker gets up before me and takes a shower at the end of it is when I wake up and start to get my clothing ready and head into the bathroom, tomorrow is when I head back to work. When I come back out after taking a shower and getting dressed I find Wesker leaning up against his dresser waiting for me.
" Yes?"
" You really want that ring right? Well we have to go and get one."
" You mean two, the both of us." I gesture at him and me.
He raises a hand in dismissal and starts to exit the room. " We have to wait for the kids to get up, we can't leave them hear alone."
He doesn't answer me until he walks all the way down the stairs and into the kitchen where I stop dead in my tracks.
" Who said they would be alone." He nods to a burly looking man with a mean looking scar across his face.
" Who the hell is this?"
The man remains quite but not motionless, his face turns into a grimace " Boss you didn't say I was going to baby-sit."
" He works for you?"
Wesker ignores us and starts the coffee maker waiting for a cup and then anserwing me before the unknown man in my kitchen question's. " This is Jack Krauser, and yes he works for me. And no I didn't say you would be baby-sitting because technically you only have to be here because the law mandates an adult to be around with minors, the kids can take care of themselves."
Jack sits back down and rests his feet up on the table, " So this is your boyfriend? I didn't know you were gay Wesker."
He ignores the last part, " Yes well technically he is now my fiance, and if you want to continue having a job let alone liveI suggest you speak of this no more." And just like that the other man shut-up and stayed that way for a good ten minutes. Long enough for me to get some coffee and have a bowl of cereal which was when I noticed P.B. hadn't come to greet me.
" What did you do to my dog?"
" You mean that huge white fur ball is a dog?" He actually sounds genuine in his question.
I just nod my head and give him a 'duh' look.
" the dog is outside."
I look from him to Wesker and then back again, " How long has he been here?" I ask Wesker as I walk to the door just to make sure that P.B. is alright.
Wesker doesn't answer me but Krauser speaks up, " You look familiar."
" Yeah well I'm Chris Redfield, a former agent of STARS and now for the B.S.A.A"
Jack looks amused " Boss you never said you were dating the enemy." Wesker grabs another apple from the fridge and sits at the table ignoring the both of us.
The room is quite except for the crunch of the apple when P.B. comes to the door and barks to be let in I head over to the sliding door and let him in. When I look him over quickly I see that nothing is wrong in fact Polar Bear rushes over to the man and waits to be petted which Jack does so. That is strange, P.B. must really like him he usually isn't that friendly to new people.
" What does he do for you?" I ask Wesker again.
" He works." He says simply while tossing out the apple core.
" I figured that already, but what kind of work does he do for you?"
" Cristy does it really matter?"
I swing around to face him and I'm already pissed and that just pushed me over the edge. I slam my fist in his face which causes him to fall out of his chair and on to the floor, I stand above him. " Don't ever call me that again." With that I walk back up stairs to cool down, P.B. right on my trail.
I can hear groaning and then clothing rustling as I assume he rights himself. " The guy has a mean right hook." I can tell he is rubbing the side of his face and I can hear Wesker reply right before I walk into our room.
" I told you not to piss him off, not to mention that he is infected with the G and T virus." I can hear him chuckle while I head into the room and shut the door.
" You were serious about that? You said you found someone infected with the virus you never mentioned you had a kid and was getting married."
" Krauser are you questioning me?"
Silence.
" No sir."
" I thought so."
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Later when the kids wake up Wesker introduces them to Jack Krauser, Dominik and Dimitri at first seemed a little uneasy around him but after they beat him at arm wrestling they were more relaxed. Abri didn't really seem alright or uneasy around him so I decided to take her with us to the store. We have to wait for the stores open even though it is a bit of a drive to the jewelers.
" When did you look up this place? You couldn't have done it after Claire and Zhane left and we went downstairs. You had to of already planned this or something." I say to him.
He gives me a look but doesn't answer, I smirk.
" You can't say then that you are only doing this because of my nagging or whatever."
He stops right in front of the front door, breaths in before turning around. " Alright Christopher fine, you win. I was already looking for a ring." he lets out a little laugh " Even before Claire had decided to get married." With that said he exits the house and heads out to the car getting it started while I go and grab Abri and bring her out to the car. I set her up in the car seat and head into the passenger side while Wesker sits in the drivers side and heads out to the store.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
" So what do you guys do for fun around here?" Jack asks the boys while looking around the house.
" Well we could play a board game." Dimitri offers.
" Orwe could beat you at another game of arm wrestling or maybe even really wrestling." Dominik replies.
Jack looks between the both of them. " You guys have the virus as well right?"
They both nod in agreement.
" how did he do that? How old are the two of you?"
" Well we were born this way and we are five years old." Dimitri answers while Dominik goes off to find something to do finding that just standing around and talking is rather boring.
" And ... Dominik... you look like Chris but have Wesker's attitude. And youare... Dimitri right you look like Wesker but I assume you act like Chris, am I right?"
Dimitri nods," and what you are my father's secretary?" He doesn't say it to rudely but there is a little smirk gracing his features and goes to follow his brother. Krauser follows after the twins as they head up to their own rooms.
Krauser whistles as he looks around upstairs, " Who paid for this house, and everything else. And how come five year olds need huge beds like these and shouldn't the two of you share a room?"
" You sure do ask alot of questions Jack." Dominik shoots back.
Jack just grunts and then sits rather hard on Dominik's bed and crosses his arms. " Are you going to answer any of them?"
Dominik shrugs and then flops onto the bed arms stretched out and laying flat on his stomach. " Well I am pretty sure father is the one that has boughyt the house; father is Albert. We have big beds because we want them and we don't share a room anymore because we have out grown that."
" Your five, how can you outgrow sharing a room at that age? Aren't you afraid of the dark or being by yourself?"
Dominik gives him an 'are you kidding?' look " Do I look like I would be afraid of the dark or being alone?"
Krauser looks him over for a brief second, "well yeah."
Dominik waves him off while standing up and looking around his room. " Are we still going to school today?"
" Isn't it the summer, don't you guys have a summer break or something?"
" We are home schooled." He raises an eyebrow that makes him look like Wesker and Jack winces a little at the look.
" You're a natrual at the whole meanacing look thing, exactly like your father."
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
" Daddy how long till we get there?" Abri asks me from the back seat in the car.
" Another hour sweetie." I can hear her let out a sigh of discontent but she she remains quite. Wesker stays quite the whole time while he is driving, well that is until I start asking him questions. Some he ignores and others he answers.
" So how long have you been looking at rings? Was it after I said no more kids until we get married? Or was that only one of the reasons?"
" I don't see why it really matters, we are getting married isn't that what you wanted why do you need to know about why and when." Wesker answers while turning off the highway and stores start to pop up but according to the G.P.S. the store is still a little further way.
An hour later and we are pulling into the parking lot and walking up to the doors to enter the store where we are greeted by a young gentleman.
" Hello welcome." He nods politely and I smile back while holding Abri we continue walking in to the store. We pass displays holding necklaces earring rings, everything in gold, silver, what ever.
Wesker steps in front of me and heads over to an office I follow right behind him, he knocks on the door once and waits for an answer before opeing it and walking I shut the door behind me .
" Alan Weber I persume." The lady behind the desk asks with a smile on her face.
I look at Wesker who nods his head at the name and then I remeber that he has to hide his identity. But Alan Weber? Real original Albert Wesker.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
" So... your saying that you don't have an actual mother just Wesker and Redfield?" Jack asks the boys (who are sitting in the living room on the couch).
They both nod at the same time, hands folded in thier laps, " Why?"
Krauser looks between them, " I'm pretty sure you need a male and a female in order to have a baby." he sounds like it should be obvious.
Dominik rolls his eyes, " we didn't come from a normal pregnancy."
" What are you guys like test tube babies or something?"
" Or something." Dimitri answeres with a shrug and a little smile.
Krauser just shakes his head and then heads to the kitchen to get something to eat. While searching through the cabinets he yells over his shoulder " What the heck is all this crap? I can't read any of this."
" That's because it is in French Jack." Dominik offers with a smug looking grin as he enteres the kitchen.
" Well can you read it?"
" As a matter of fact we are quite versed in a couple different languages." Dimitri tells him just walking into the kitchen standing behind his twin brother.
" Well just find me something quick to make alright?" He exits the kitchen leaving the boys to find him something to eat.
They search around in the cabinets and can't find anything so they head to the freezer and find a pizza and bring it out to Krauser. " It's like 9:00 in the morning..."
" So you said you wanted something fast to eat and pizza only takes about 13 to 14 minutes to make and it is pretty much the same around the world so I figured you'd like it." Dominik tells him holding out the pizza towards him. Jack takes and brings it back into the kitchen.
He messes with the knobs and starts the oven so it begins to heat up and sets the pizza on the counter while he waits for it to get hot enough to cook.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
" Mister Weber I assume this is your finance." She smiles at me and I nod back at her.
" Oh please sit gentleman." She waves her hand at the two seat in front of her desk.
So we sit with Abri on my lap and Wesker at my right.
" Hi I'm Chris" Wesker kicks my foot lightly, " -tan, Christan Adams." I offer with a smile and she nods her head.
" You two make a handsome couple, and you have a beautiful daughter." She smiles at Abri who smiles one of her big smiles.
" Thank you."
She nods her head once more and then pulls some papers out of a drawer on hber desk and a pen sliding the papers over to Wesker. " I just need you to sign these papers and then I can get you your rings and then we are done." Wesker signs the papers which I find odd I didn't think you had to sign papers when you bought a ring. She takes the paper back and looks over the signature, nods and stands up leaving the room. A few minutes later she returns with two ring boxes and hands them over to Wesker.
" Everything else is in order and I hope you are happy with your purchase." He nods his head and we stand up leaving the office.
" Thanks." I say over my shoulder.
" Your welcome."
It's a two hour drive back to the house on the way we pick up some lunch from a McDonald's on the way home, I look at the ring and it is a simple gold band, to the naked eye. For my advanced sight though I can see little etchings here and there designs, the only reason Wesker probally did that was because I would be able to see it with out any assistance.
" It's nice, really nice. Thank you." I tell him while looking at it then looking towards him, I can see a faint smile on his face.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
" I beat you again, and don't even say it was because you let me win." I can hear Dominik's triumphant voice as I walk through the doorway and into the house. Dimitri comes running from the living room with a smile on his face and I bend down to pick him up and walk with him into the kitchen where I find Dominik and Jack sitting at the table playing a game of checkers.
" Wesker you didn't say they were freakishly smart like you, or super strong." Jack mutters while looking disappointed at the fact that he has lost another game, I let a small smirk grace my face and then place the food on the counter.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Okay I know it's a bit shorter then my other stories but I wanted to get this out to you guys because of the long wait for this chapter and I am sorry again that that happened. Also sorry if Krauser is OOC I haven't really seen him to know how he acts and stuff.
