Resident Evil: Descendants

Incident at the Airport

Claire's POV

It was a bright warm Monday when I found myself standing at the Harvardville airport alongside my son, Nicholas. Sherry was in college and today was a school holiday.

I couldn't have been happier when Sherry got into the school she wanted. She seemed to be so happy about it when I called her. Her eyes lit up when she saw Nicky. They've grown rather close.

I have to admit, out of all the people I know, Nicholas reminds me most of my brother. Well...except for the crimson red hair and the pale blue eyes.

No One's POV

"Mommy?"

Claire was ripped from her thoughts by the sound of her son's voice.

"Hmm?"

Nicholas raised his arms up, reaching for his mother. Claire smiled, picking him. "Ooh, boy. You are getting heavy, kiddo."

The boy giggled.

After walking for a bit, Claire came upon an Indian woman holding the hand of a little girl. Her smile brightened as she watched the woman wave at her with excitement. She set her son on the ground and gave the older mother a warm hug. "It's been ages! You look great."

The Indian woman smiled and brought a hand to Claire's face. "And you look tired."

Claire chuckled. "Blame my new boyfriend. He won't let me get any sleep."

"Boyfriend huh? Is that what you're calling the W.H.O. Report now?"

"FDA, actually."

"And who is this little bowl of curry?"

Claire smiles. "This is my son, Nicholas Redfield."

"He is so handsome. Reminds me of your brother."

Claire sighed. "I get that alot."

"Hehe. No doubt. How is he doing, your brother?"

"He's alright. Lots of stuff to do. He grumbles alot though."

The woman laughs, the girl beside her tugs at her Mekhela Chador. "Aunt, I'm tired."

The woman turns to her niece and taps on her tiny hands. "Yes, I'm sorry. Stay here and I'll bring the limousine around as quickly as I can." She turns toward Claire. "Will you watch Rani for a minute?"

"Sure thing."

"I'll be right back," Rani's aunt says with a warm smile.

Claire moves down to Rani's level. "Well, we should introduce ourselves." She extends a hand. "I'm Claire Redfield." She turns toward her son. "And this is my son, Nicholas. You can call me Claire."

The girl shakes Claire's hand. "I'm Rani."

"Nice to meet you, Rani. That's a pretty name."

Rani slowly turns to look at Nicholas, shyly hiding behind his mother. She looks over Claire's shoulder and says hi, expecting a response.

The boy moves further behind his mother.

"Sorry about him. He's really shy."

"It's okay!"

After a little while, Nicholas came around and extended a hand of greetings to Rani.

"I am...Nicholas. It is...nice to meet you."

"It is nice to meet you too!"

Sitting down, the trio watch the news for a bit until they cover the event just outside.
