Back at Claire's apartment, he did everything that he can to get the interior as neat as possible, wiped furniture, vacuumed, mopped, organized mess, and a lot more, even buying groceries for the babies and throwing away unnecessary items or rotten food, even washing the dishes Claire left from when she went into labor...but before doing all that, he asked permission from Chris, if it was okay to do things to his sister's place and he said that it was fine as long as Leon has the keys and doesn't break or lose anything that was important to Claire and he swore that he won't, not ever. He also knows that he could've just planned to bring the triplets at his condominium instead for the mean time, but he thought that it would be a hassle to go back and forth since all their necessities are at Claire's so he instead decides to live at her place for a while once he takes his babies to their new home, to care for them. Packing a baggage of stuff he needs for himself. He also can't deny the fact that he loved the idea of staying at her place to look after their kids...but that big regret of not being enough for her in the past still haunts him and now he feels like he doesn't have the right to even step foot in her home-

Staring at the spot they exchanged words- where she pushed him away and also bled is what reminds him of it, and he will fulfill her wishes of him caring for the babies, but either way if she asked to do so or not, he would have still instinctively try and be a decent father to his kids despite not having a positive biological father that would have given him an idea of what to expect as a first time dad, but he researched thoroughly as well as ask nurses and request to be taught at least the basics and he thinks that he's got the hang of it...but thought that it should have been so much better if Claire was here, he knows that she would have known what to do immediately without any guide, she's always been good with children and how he wish she was here tomorrow, to help him now that he needs her the most.

"Alright my little Redfield-Kennedy's, you're finally going home.", he cooed looking at each baby that was buckled in their infant car seat, he sat on the floor, legs crossed as their beds were placed on the floor as well as their bag that was filled with their things that Leon had also packed to return back to their mother's apartment. All of them dressed up in the clothes that Claire had chosen for them as he thought that her choices were cute and casual, both boys were in their little blue and red onesies while their sister was in her purple one while they all wore white socks. Leon also gave all three of his newborns blankets, pacifiers and thought that they looked too cute suckling those in, he had fed them with the donated breast milk by the hospital for the duration that they've stayed since Claire can't provide or breastfeed them for the mean time and this broke Leon's heart to think that his children haven't really interacted with their mother yet, not even getting nutrition from her but from other women instead, although he's grateful that there are one's who donate milk, but now they're going home- without Claire.

Leon observes them as they move a bit in their beds, "Daddy will be taking you all to mommy's apartment later, which will be your home for a long while.", he pats Christopher as he starts to get a little fuzzy, even dropped his pacifier as he starts to whimper and cry much to his father's distress, they have been behaved for an hour and now it's all starting again, he picks his son up, putting his hand under the back of his head and then one on his back and butt then carries him and gets up from the floor to sway his son as he tries to figure out the possible cause of the boy's cries, "What's the matter Chris Jr.?", he continues to bounce his son as well as pat his bum. Leon also kissed the baby's forehead, "You know that dad loves you right my boy?", and to Leon's surprise he stopped and the room fell silent, "Well, that was easy.", he remarked to himself before changing his son's position as he held the child vertically, head rested on his shoulder as he supports the boy's head and body, also caressing his small back. He didn't want to put him down just yet.

He heard a knock through, and he turned to the door, expecting that it might just be Chris, the man was supposed to help him today, to carry the infant car seats as he can't lift all three at once as well as the suitcase of newborn things, another thing is the installation of the carriers in the back of his car. Walking over to the door with his son in hand, he reaches for the door knob quickly before swinging it open and it was the least expected person for him to see- he blinked for a second, as if he thought that he was just daydreaming, he couldn't believe it, "C- Claire?", it was not Chris but his sister instead...her, but that was impossible, the last thing he knows is that she's still in coma, she hasn't woken up yet, but then again, he hasn't visited her for a while as well.

"Hey- Leon.", she replied as the man before her was dumbfounded, he stared at her, she wasn't even in her hospital gown either, no wires, any IV attached to her hand and she's dressed in the clothes he bought for her days ago, her black shirt, jeans that were not too tight, her boots, and most importantly- her red leather jacket and her hair was tied up in her iconic ponytail.

"W-wait, I don't understand, you-you were, you're supposed to still be in coma...no-", he stuttered, didn't mean it in a bad way either but he was just too shocked to react properly and instead tears up, "I-just...I missed you.", until he unintentionally moves towards her and hugs her tightly, arm around her back, and his head buried on her shoulder, closing his eyes and taking in her scent, he longed for her and now she's finally back that he even forgot that he has their son held in his arm until the small boy whined in between his parents and Leon breaks the embrace, backing away to caress his son's back, "Shh, I'm sorry my boy...I'm sorry...", he kissed his forehead once more.

And Claire on the other hand, looked down at the baby Leon was comforting, staring at the tiny human's small back, finally seeing that baby she carried for 8 months for the first time ever, she freezed in her place, still also couldn't believe that she just took her first glance at the new life that came from her, until she tears up as well, "Is this- one of our babies?", she speaked up shakily asking Leon like he wouldn't answer yes, "Y-yeah...this is our eldest son- Christopher...", Leon answers awkwardly, still not feeling himself after Claire revealed herself like she didn't bleed, got cut open, left comatosed for the last couple of days, and now she just casually shows up like it never happened, but he's more than glad that she's fine and- conscious now despite not having any backstory on how she's stands today. Instead, he presents their son to his mother.

Claire suddenly approaches him, as she hesitantly touches and caresses their baby's head as she cries and Christopher seems to warm up to his mother's touch as his whimpers die down, she looks back at Leon, "C-can I hold him?"

"You don't need to ask Claire...you're his mother.", he replies softly as he gazes at her then they both look down at their son as he gently hands the boy over to Claire and she immediately does know what to do as she supports his head and back then starts to bounce him, kissing his forehead as well, "Hey there Christopher, it's your mommy...I'm very sorry that I met you just now, but I tried my best to do so as soon as possible- so now I'm here. I love you so much my boy.", she cooed at her tiny son and he seemed to acknowledge her words as he made a sound then showed his dimple by smirking and this caused both parents to smile.

Leon gazed at Claire and their son, seemingly lost in her presence as he finally sees her act like the mother he always envisions she will be, and she's very good at it, while he also remembers their two other newborns whose inside the room and by some miracle hadn't whimpered a bit, "Claire-", he called her and she didn't take her eyes of the baby but only raised her eyebrows as a signal that she heard him, "W-would you like to meet the other two as well?", he asked as if he doesn't already know her answer.

"With all my heart, I'd love to see them too.", she looked up at him and he nodded, gesturing for her to come in, and she did step forward and walked further into the room still gazing down at her son, while Leon locked the door behind them. He also quickly walks over to their two babies that are in their respective carriers and as Leon glances inside, they are both awake, so he decides to disturb both of them and lifts them and carries them gently, Chloe in his left arm and Clarkson in his right, as he stands up with two babies in both his arms as he approaches Claire.

Claire looks up to see what Leon was up to and she can say that her heart almost fell down to her stomach, "Leon- you might drop them.", she stated as calmly as possible but still a lot more worried than how she's acting.

"Don't worry, I was trained by the nurses and I've done this before.", Leon defuses but this doesn't ease her mind, "You've done this- before...", she repeats as if becoming more worried than she already is.

"Trust me Claire, I handled all three of them just fine...I can carry two at once."

"Alright Leon- but please just put them down for a bit-.", she tells him off and he obeys nodding...but deep inside he's hurt that she doesn't trust him. Walking over to the hospital bed placed down the two younger triplets while the new mother follows and places her oldest son down beside his siblings, as she sits down on the bedside, gazing lovingly down at her triplet. Leon on the other hand, observes her while he stood, hands in his pocket as he watched her every move, she caressed each one of the babies, like she knows them so effortlessly already- well...of course she does, she carried them for 8 months, unlike him who only got to connect with the three physically in a week and he had to give his best.

"Hi there Chloe, Clarkson...it's mommy-", she greeted the two as she tells them that she loves them with all her heart as well and the newborn duo seemed to smile as well like what their brother did earlier.

But forgetting about all the newborn banter, he really wants to know how she managed to- be here today, moreover- looking so well, but all he can do is sit down across her with their three babies in between separating them, and he touches each one of their newborn's thighs before looking up at their mother, so beautiful, so joyful as she gazes at the triplets with love in her eyes- he thought and that he's lucky to have someone like her in his life, adding to the fact that she is the mother of his children.

"Claire?", she turned her attention to him and they locked eyes, "I don't know how you came to be here today but- all I can say after everything is...thank you."
