A Double Twisted Nightmare Chapter 20
November 1st 1999 Unknown Island
Claire was taking Ashlyn out for a stroll. She looks out, over the stoned wall part of the estate. Today was the day she and Chris married the Wesker siblings.
'Albert said he would be working until late.' Albert was working on something that is to help B. be developed more quickly, so that they can be sold at cheaper rates than what Umbrella is doing.
She then hears talking behind her and turns to see Chris and Alex heading her way.
"Good afternoon, Little Dove." Alex greets.
"Hey, Claire. How are you and Ashlyn doing?" Chris asks.
"We're doing good." Claire said. 'At least Chris gets to be with Alex.'
Claire and Chris already knew how Albert and Alex feel about sentiments. While they can make time to be a family, they aren't into all the mushy stuff. Hence why Albert is in the lab rather than being with her.
"She is almost two months." Chris said, taking his niece from the stroller and cradling her.
"Yeah, she's growing like a weed." Claire said.
".. Claire, maybe I should talk to Albert." Alex said, rubbing her swollen belly.
".. It's fine Alex, he already told me he would be working today." Claire said, neutral.
'At least he told me, rather than leave me high and dry.' Claire was glad that Albert had at least told her, 'Happy Anniversary' and that he would be working in the lab. Not a lot of spouses due that anymore.
"That's good." Chris said, it was clear he was disappointed.
Claire waves him off, "It's fine Chris. I mean.. Alex if you weren't pregnant, you would probably in the lab too." she points out.
"True." she said.
".. Yeah, your right." Chris said, putting Ashlyn back into the stroller.
They then leave to have dinner together, Chris and Claire make:
As they set the table, Alex had been taking care of Ashlyn by cradling her. Then when it was time to eat, Claire takes her daughter from Alex and puts her in the stroller.
They begin to eat, Chris asks his sister, "Are you still going to help with combat data?"
"Yes, once Ashlyn doesn't need to rely on me too much and the doctor says in the next month, I can do heavy maneuvers." Claire answers.
"I see." Chris said.
Stuart comes into the room and walks over to Chris, he gives him somethings before leaving the room.
"Say, Alex." Chris says, stops eating and turns to look at her.
"I got you this." Chris said, handing a box to her. Alex, was seated beside Chris, looks at the package curiously. She opens it to find a clock inside and looks at him.
"I hope that this clock reminds you, that you need to spend time with your family. Happy Anniversary." Chris said.
Alex smiles, "Thank you Beloved. I have something for you too." she said, bringing out a small box.
She gives it to him and he opens it to find a brand new watch. "Thank you Alex." Chris said, taking it out. It was an Rolex, Yacht-Master reference 16622, and puts it on.
He moves his wrist to get it comfortable and to show it off. "I knew it would look good on you. Happy Anniversary." Alex said. She and Chris share a kiss.
Claire smiles that Chris and Alex get to spend time together.
They all get back to eating and clean up. As Claire was about ready to grab Ashlyn's stroller, Alex speaks, "Wait Little Dove."
Claire stops and turns to look at her and Chris. "We've have something for you." Chris said.
They hold out two packages, "Happy Anniversary." they both say at the same time.
Claire takes the packages and gives them two packages, that she had hidden in the stroller. "Happy Anniversary." she tells them.
They thank her, before leaving the room. Claire then takes Ashlynn into the kitchen and starts making a small dinner, before covering it. She then radios Stuart and asks him to tell Albert, that when he was done with work, to come to the kitchen.
She puts away the radio, places three boxes beside the food. She then takes Ashlyn back upstairs to the living space and reads for a couple of hours, taking care of Ashlyn.
Then when she was tired, she takes Ashlyn and goes the her room. She places her in her crib, before leaving for her and Albert's room.
She changes into a blue nightgown and just as she was about to crawl into bed, she feels a wind. She tries to turn but strong arms wrap around her from behind.
"Good evening, Dearheart." her husband purrs.
"Good evening to you too." Claire said.
"Thank you, for making dinner for me and the gift." Albert said, turning her around to face him.
He was not wearing any sunglasses, staring at her with his amber eyes. "It was no trouble, though from what you told me, you would be working in the lab for awhile." she said.
"You'll put the clock in the lab right?" she then asks. Like Chris, she got her spouse a clock to remind him of the time.
"Yes, rest assure, I will tell you if I planned to be holed up for a few hours." he said.
"Good, though you didn't answer my question." she reminds him, that he told her that he would be working after bed.
"I finished earlier, then I thought I was going to. I too, have a surprise for you." he said, pulling out a small box and giving it to her.
Claire was surprised, she opens it and sees a gold chain in it. "It's pretty." she said, with a smile.
"I'll admit, I don't think too much of things like this." Albert said. He never was for anything that couldn't be used resourcefully.
"Still, you put thought into this, thank you." Claire said, reaching up to kiss him.
Albert grabs her and kisses her with fervor, he picks her up and takes the gift he gave her, putting it on the dresser.
He then carries her over to their bed, breaking the kiss. "You've been taking birth control right?" he asked, placing her on the bed.
"Yes." she said, bringing him down for another kiss..
November 5th 1999 Unknown Island
The four lovers and Ashlyn were eating breakfast, when Alex feels something in the lower exterminates. "Agh!" Alex said in pain.
"Alex?!" Chris and Claire ask in concern. They rush over to her and Chris places a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I-I think-" she doesn't finish as another wave of pain hit her, she clenches her belly.
"Do you think it's time? Or is this another false alarm?" Albert asks her. Alex has been having a share of prodromal labor for the past week.
"I believe so." Alex manages to grit out.
"Give a call!" Chris said, grabbing his wife's hand, which she shakes off. "Don't be crazy! You know I could accidentally crush your hand!" Alex said as pain went through her again.
Albert takes out his radio and call Stuart to bring some help. After ten minutes the help comes and Alex is on her way to the hospital area.
As they were making they're way there, Alex feels something go down her legs. "Chris.." she tries to tell him.
Chris looks at her and realizes her water broke. "Let's pick up the pace!" he said to the others.
They move a little faster until they reach the hospital part. The doctor and nurses help Alex into a hospital gown and have her lay down on the bed. Chris sits by her side in a chair. Albert and Claire remain outside the room with Ashlyn.
"Remember Dr. Wesker. Once your fully dilated, you will move to the hands and feet position." the doctor reminds her.
"I understand." Alex said, breathing deeply. Chris is given a water bowl and cloth. He uses the damp cloth on Alex's face, she may have healing abilities, but labor was a natural thing with a woman, so apparently it doesn't apply too much.
It takes fifteen hours but Alex was finally dilated and was moved to the position. "I can see why women preferred to lay down, rather than use this position." Alex said, unhappily.
"Don't worry, Dr. Wesker. It will be over soon." said the doctor, in a soothing tone.
Chris came up beside her. He wanted to hold her hand but as she said before, she might crush his hand. One of the downsides of having a tyrant for a wife.
But, despite that, Chris will be by her side no matter what.
It takes another three hours, but then the contractions start getting more painful. "I think it's time." Alex said through gritted teeth.
Chris gently touches her shoulders, "You can do it Alex." he whispers encouragingly.
The doctor checks on her, "All right Dr. Wesker. As the contractions are hitting you, push." he said.
It took a two hours but as Alex gives out a cry, the doctor said, "We can see the head! Keep going!"
Alex pushes, once more crying out, when another higher pitched cry is hear. "Give me those scissors!" the doctor said. A nurse gives him scissors and he uses them to cut the umbilical cord.
"We have the baby. You! Stay here and help with the placenta." the doctor orders a nurse to help with Alex, before taking the baby away to be cleaned.
After thirty minutes, the placenta comes out and is taken away. Another nurse comes to help Alex, she helps her get stationed on the bed. Chris was right there, helping.
After a fifteen minutes, Alex gets off the bed, her regenerating abilities have healed her completely. As she stretches, Chris looks over her impressed.
"I can just imagine how many women, that have just given birth, be so jealous that you are already back on your feet." Chris said.
"True." she said. The doctor comes in with their baby, all cleaned and swaddled.
"Congratulations, Dr. Wesker, Mr. Wesker. You have a bonnie baby boy." he said, giving their son to Alex. Unlike Ashlyn, their baby was wailing.
Chris stands up and stands beside Alex so he could see their son. "He's beautiful." Chris said, smiling.
"Yes, he is. What should we call him?" Alex asks.
Chris thinks for a moment, "How about Austin?" he asks.
"'Magnificent'? Sounds like a fine name." Alex agrees to the name.
"Welcome to the world, Austin Wesker." Chris greets his son.
The doctor comes in with some paperwork, "The child was born on November 6th, 1999. Have you decided on a name?" he asks them.
"Austin." they both said at the same time. Their son had quieted down by this point.
He writes it down, "I'll send it to the others so the birth certificate will be ready." the doctor said, leaving the room. When he left, Albert and Claire came in with Ashlyn, who was in her carrier.
"Did we hear right? We have a nephew?" Claire asks, excitedly.
"Yes. His name is Austin Wesker." Alex said. Austin then comes alive, crying.
"Ok, what would you like?" Alex asks her son in a calming tone. He is checked over and it's discovered that he was hungry. Alex pulls down her gown, showing one of her breasts, sitting down on the bed and Austin latches on. Chris then sits beside her.
"Slow down! I think he'll get hiccups anyway." Alex said, sounding surprised.
"All part of the learning experience Alex." Claire said, reaching into the carrier and brings her daughter to her.
"This is your cousin, Austin. I hope you'll get along." Claire said to Ashlyn, showing her the other baby.
Ashlyn only stares at the baby, before wrigglingly. "All right." Claire said, putting her back in the carrier.
"Not much of a reaction." Albert said.
"Of course. They meet new people, but don't really pay attention. At least right now." Claire said.
After a few minutes, Austin was satisfied with food, but then wails. "Should've guessed we get a loud one." Chris said as Alex checks Austin over.
"Indeed. Dirty diaper." Alex said, finding out what Austin now needs. She changes his diaper, "Say Albert, how many have you changed?" Alex asks her brother.
"I lost count. Probably, at least two hundred." Albert says. Alex gives Austin to Chris so he can hold his so.
The doctor comes back in, "Pardon the intrusion, but Austin needs to stay here at least for two days. To make sure everything is all right with him." he reminds them.
"Yes, I'll be staying." Alex says.
"Understandable." the doctor said, before leaving.
Albert and Claire take Ashlyn and leave the room, so that the new family can be alone.
Past
A little blonde girl, with a light blue bow in her hair, sits underneath a tree. She watches her 'sisters' play with some kind of toy.
'.. I don't believe that these girls are my real sisters. Same thing with my brothers..' she keeps quiet about how she feels. Sadly it didn't overly matter, her 'sisters' and 'brothers' don't like her.
'Mr. Spencer said that we are getting one more brother. I wonder if he'll be as bad as the others.' Alex hated to admit it, but she was a little lonely.
A maid comes up to them, "Sorry to interrupt young ladies, but Lord Spencer has requested you all for breakfast." she said.
The girl, who's name is Alex, lived on one side of the mansion with her sisters. "Ok." Alex said, standing up.
They all go to the dining hall, where their brothers and Mr. Spencer were waiting. "Good morning, girls." Mr. Spencer greets them. The boys follow suit and the girls take their seats.
Spencer then stands, "Today, you finally get to meet your last brother. Come in!" he calls out.
The double doors opens, a young boy with blonde hair came in, with a butler close behind him. "This young man is Albert Wesker. With him, our little family is completed. Take a seat Albert." he orders Albert. He takes a seat beside Alex, the only seat available.
"Eat." Spencer orders, taking a seat and they all eat.
As they were eating, Alex looks over her brother. He was blonde like she was, he had light blue eyes, wearing a the typical outfit for boys his age in England and he seems to have a bruise on his face.
Albert eats silently, he had no desire for this, but Mr. Spencer said he had to attend to meet his 'sisters' today and that, as long as he was under his roof, he would attend all meals.
'Speaking of sisters.' Albert looks next to him to see the girl, with a light blue bow, looking at him. She was trying to make sure she wasn't foreword about it, but he sees her eyes looking briefly out the corner of her eyes before going back to her food.
Once they were all done eating, Mr. Spencer stands again, "We are going outside. Then, girls, you are to introduce yourselves to Albert." he said.
They all head outside, to one of the gardens, and one by one the girls introduce themselves to Albert. "My name is Alex Wesker." Alex tells him her name, she was the last of girls.
"Good." Mr. Spencer said, he was sitting on a bench as his 'daughters' said hello to Albert.
"Now, today you all can do what you want, but tomorrow, there will be school. All of you have a special role in the future. You will take it seriously and make me proud." Mr. Spencer said.
"Yes, Mr. Spencer." all of them say.
"Now be off with you. Get to know each other." Mr. Spencer said, standing before leaving for the mansion.
They all scatter at his words, checking out the garden and getting some toys that the servants bring them. Alex just stays away from them, 'I really don't want to play with them.' she goes over to a tree and sits down.
She wasn't the only one, Albert stays away from the others as well. When they all leave the toy bin, he goes over to see if there's anything left. He sees a ball and tries to grab it, but Irma pushes him out of the way.
She grabs the ball, "This is mine." she said, selfishly. She then leaves.
He then sees a paddleball, once he looks inside of the bin again, but as he was trying to grab it, Felicia comes over and smacks his hand. "That's mine." she said, grabbing it before going over to Irma and Laura.
Albert looks at them and sees that they are watching them. He looks around to see his brothers also watching him nearby. They clearly weren't going to let him get any toys.
'Fine. I don't need them.' Albert walks away from the bin, ignoring his siblings snickering, as he leaves.
Albert then sees Alex underneath a tree, she seems to be bored. He slowly goes over to her, "..Can I sit with you?" he asks her, quietly.
Alex's eyes widen in shock, ".. Yes, you can sit with me." she said.
Albert sits next to her, they are both quiet.
'I thought he would be like the others... What should I say?' Alex was glad that Albert wasn't the same like the others, but is unsure what to say.
Albert was the same way, 'What do I say?'
After a moment passes, Albert clears his throat, ".. Alex, right?" he asks.
"..Yes." she replies.
".. What do you like to do?" he asks.
".. Not sure. I really don't remember liking any thing, before here." she said in reply.
"Where were you before you came here?" Albert asks.
"I can't seem to remember.." she answers.
Albert gives her a look, "I don't remember either. I want to say.. that Albert isn't my real name." he finishes in a whisper.
Alex is surprised again, "You feel the same?" she asks in a whisper.
When Alex was told that this mansion was her home and that her name is Alex, by Mr. Spencer, she had a hard time believing it. Same thing with her siblings, she felt that they were fake.
Albert is glad to see that Alex has the same thoughts as he did about their 'family'.
"Let's talk about it another time." he whispers to her. The servants are still in the garden, if they hear them talking about it, they'll tell Mr. Spencer and trouble will follow. Albert rubs his sore cheek.
"How did you get that bruise?" Alex asks, normally.
".. Mr. Spencer didn't like me asking him about my name." he whispers, looking at the servants.
"Hiro punched me for not being 'respectful' to him." he said in a normal voice.
"I see.. You don't like our siblings?" she asks, promising to keep quiet about what was said about Mr. Spencer.
"No. I take it you don't like them." he said.
"No, but I really don't like Felicia. She's my roommate and she's really nasty to me." Alex said.
"Hiro is also my roommate and he has made it clear he doesn't like me." Albert tells her.
They share a conversation, until they were told it was time for lunch. As they leave, none of the Wesker children had noticed, that one of the servants go to Mr. Spencer.
Alex awakens with a start. She sees that she's in one of the hospital rooms, sleeping on a gurney. She looks over to her right and sees her son sleeping away. She gets off the bed.
'That was strange.. Why did I dream about the Spencer Estate?' Alex was puzzled as to why she started to remember her early days, including meeting with Albert for the first time.
Austin then comes awake, crying. "I'm coming." she said, going over to him. She picks him up and discovers he needs another diaper change.
'I won't go back to sleep now.' Alex had stamina, that thanks to the virus, she didn't have to have as much rest, but she would often go to bed with Chris at a decent time, for he needed sleep.
Once Austin was changed, he still kept crying. "You are fussy. Me and your father will have our work cut out for us." Alex said, cradling him.
"We have one more day here, before we can leave to be with your father." Alex was all ready to go, but the doctor says they have to make sure that Austin is healthy enough.
'Still.. Why?' Alex was puzzled as to why she dreamed about her childhood.
'I'll talk to Albert.' she promises herself.
November 13th, 1999 Unknown Island
Alex goes to meet with her brother, she told Chris that unless it was an emergency, he was not to call her. She knows their son needs her, but they'll just have to bottle feed him for now.
'At least it's only today.' Alex enters the lab, Albert was waiting for her.
"When you told me, you have something to tell me, I didn't think it would interrupt your family time." he said. He knows that it's important to take care of your child, especially, when he's a newborn.
"It's far too important to wait." Alex said. She had waited until last night to tell Albert that they have to talk about something.
"What is it?" he asks.
Alex is silent for a moment, ".. Have you thought about the original Spencer Estate?" she finally asks.
Albert is startled, ".. I did have a dream about the place, shortly after Ashlyn was born." he said, after a moment.
".. So did I." Alex tells him.
Both are silent.
".. Why? Our so called brothers and sisters are dead. Our so called father has one foot in the grave." Albert said, confused.
"I don't know either." Alex said, just as confused.
"Maybe.. Maybe this has something to do with Project W?" Albert wonders.
"It might. As you know, a lot of details were missing by the time Spencer told me about it as well as the documents, that I was able to find." Alex said.
They both think about this for a moment.
".. We can't tell our lovers just yet." Alex said, thinking now about them.
"Agreed. Not unless we have to." Albert said, thinking about them and how they were to tell them.
They had not wanted to tell Chris and Claire about their past, but if the memories keep on surfacing, they won't have a choice.
Meanwhile on another part of the island, Chris and Claire were enjoying the day together with their children.
"Hey, Chris you seem distracted. Is something wrong?" Claire asks him, while holding Ashlyn.
".. I think Alex is hiding something from me." Chris said, after a moment.
"I see.. Then we're in the same boat. I noticed, after shortly after Ashlyn and I came home, Albert was a little off." she tells him.
"Maybe we should ask them." Chris said, picking up his son as he starts wailing. He gives him a bottle upon discovering he's hungry.
".. Let's give them a little time." Claire said. She was curious as to why the Wesker siblings were now hiding stuff from them, but knew that if they pushed, they would not tell them.
".. Ok, but we can't put it off for too long." Chris said. He had to admit with the Wesker siblings as lovers, you had to know when to push and when to back off.
"Yes. For we are a family, with children." Claire said.
Family was very important to the former Redfield's and they were not afraid to show it.
What do you think? Happy Anniversary to the family. Chris and Alex's son is born. What chain of events happen next?
