Chris arrived in the hospital where Laureen was going through a surgery. He was at the waiting room when a police officer came to talk to him after introducing himself.
"I'd like to ask you a few questions to close the case."
"Sure."
"Could you tell me if your wife was in some kind of trouble to try to commit suicide?"
"What? Suicide?" Chris spoke in surprise
"Yes. The driver and some other witnesses saw your wife walking to the road out of sudden. The witnesses that were at the crosswalk saw that apparently, she was walking in the direction of the traffic light that was still green for the cars and then she just stepped into the road out of sudden without even looking back or to the sides. The driver had little time to have a proper reflex to break."
Chris shook his head in frustration, "I don't know if she has some kind of trouble, but we are going through a hard time."
"May I ask you about what?" the police officer asked
"We are getting divorce."
"How is she taking it?"
Chris sighed in frustration, "She doesn't want it."
"Ah, I see. So that's probably the reason why she did it. Some people prefer to end their lives instead of giving in to the other's wishes."
Chris nodded in agreement.
The doctor in charge of Laureen walked in the room and called Chris. The police officer was finished with his questioning and excused from them.
"How is she doing?" Chris asked in concern
"The operation was finished, she broke the femur and we placed a metal rod down through the center of the bone. She broke some ribs; had some excoriations and her head trauma won't be a trouble. She will recover and I will provide pain medication and some home cares that will be demanded."
"Okay."
"The paramedics said that she kept mentioning her son Noah until she had to be tranquilized. They even asked if she was alone during the accident because she was very worried about him, we even thought she was pregnant…"
Chris sighed deeply, biting his lips. That subject was up once again, Laureen would never let go of it. His memories on the matter were finally coming to his mind and he had to deal with the images forming in his head. That scar would always unite him to Laureen, or should it be called wound?
Once again, he pitied that woman.
Evana's POV
The Lavender House… the place that witnessed so many of the greatest moments of my life. It witnessed my smiles, my laughers, my tears, my sorrows, moments of madness, moments of love…
Chris…
This was the place that sheltered me when everything became a mess. It sheltered my shames as well. Then after a bigger mess, it has become the final location where all my old memories until this day will be kept and shall rest.
It's time for a new cycle. A new beginning.
A new seed was made here and now I will carry it to my new path. A cleaner path, a fulfilled promise.
I am a mother now and I can see this seed growing inside of me every day. Inside and out. The seed of love.
Love touched me in a way that purified my soul, my sins and turning me into a new woman. A braver and stronger one.
Not that I wasn't strong before, but now I have no shame about my own story and I want to be a better person everyday so my child will see the example and follow it. I want to raise a better person for this crazy world of ours and I want to believe there's still hope left.
Now is time to say goodbye to my nest and set my wings to fly.

Evana gave a final deep breath and smiled softly looking at her house and to the corner where she had met the love of her life while she held her belly. She looked around and felt proud of herself. She beat that challenge where all those people had left her alone and never bother to ask her how they could help, instead, they gave her their back.
That didn't hurt anymore. They made her stronger.
She turned to look at Yana who was saying goodbye to J.D. and walked until them.
"It's your place now." She spoke giving the house keys to the man, "Don't destroy anything. I still want to see it in one piece!" She added with a warm smile
The man laughed a bit while fighting his tears, "Who do you think I am? I'm no bear!" he joked
Evana laughed, "I know. I was just kidding."
"I'm going to miss you! Get a new phone so we can still contact each other. This is my new number and I will keep it until you get a number too."
"Don't worry about it. I promise to get a phone and a pc so we can chat better and for you to see my baby growing too."
"Please, do that! I want to meet the new member Novak!"
Evana chuckled nodding her head, "Thank you for everything my friend. Be safe." She spoke giving him a long hug and some tears fell down on her delicate face
"Take care the three of you." he replied and they gave a long group hug
"I love you Yana, Eva and baby Redfield." He said caressing Evana's belly
"Love you too J.D. and take care!" the women replied smiling at him with a crying face
The redhead and the blonde women entered in the cab that would take them to Edonia's airport and from there they would fly without return to London where Yana's brother would wait for them at the airport and drive them to their new home.
United States, BSAA Lab
Piers was laying on his bed when he heard door opening. He sighed preparing himself for another procedure. His mumbled face suddenly changed when he recognized the silhouette entering the room.
"Claire!" he spoke with a smile
"Piers!" the ginger spoke running to him and hugged him without caring about his lost member as he hugged her back, "I'm sorry I didn't come earlier, but it was all because of the protocol." She spoke smiling to him
"It's alright. I understand; what matters is that you are here now... I just apologize for the vision you are having…"
"I'm having the best vision I could ever get after the bad images of the sad news Chris told me." she spoke caressing his face gently, ignoring completely the scars on it.
Piers smiled enjoying her delicate touch. It felt great since all he had felt lately was needles, plugs and other things due to the procedures to check on him. They stared each other with a warm gaze.
"Fuck the protocol!" the redhead spoke and leaned closer to kiss him on the lips. There was passion in that simple act that last a few seconds, but felt eternal in its significance.
They had never really shared a kiss of goodbye, but that was a kiss of welcome back. It was warm; it was sweet.
They exchanged gazes once again, "I still can't believe this is real! That I'm touching you again. That you're back!" she spoke a bit emotional touching him with both of her hands running from his hair to his chest and then his left hand, "I thought I had lost you…" she added hugging him tight.
Piers was healed from the injuries thanks to the virus powerful healing. He had his human figure and his body miraculously adjusted to the virus, he became immune to it. He wouldn't contaminate the young Redfield or anyone else, but for safety, more studies were going to be conducted on him until he could be discharged for rehabilitation just like happened to Jill.
For those who didn't know his story, they could guess he was just another war survivor and he deserved the glory of his acts and sacrifices. Many were proud of him and a part of him was proud of himself too, yet he didn't see himself as a hero.
From now on, he would have to figure a new path for him, a new life. He was aware he didn't belong to the field anymore. On the other note, he would be capable to spend more time with his loved ones.
He was still adjusting to his loss, but at least he was left-handed and his main preference was still intact.
"I so missed you!"
"I'm sorry…" he spoke with an apologetic expression that meant so many things he couldn't explain at that moment since a doctor entered the room spoiling their moment.
Thank you Xaori, HerpDerp and silver scropion for the reviews. :D
This was a short chapter considering the time I took to update, but since the next one starts a new cycle, so I preferred to keep things this way.
More things are coming muhauahua
Stay tuned!
