Ada stood in the lab once again reading what should not have been hers. She didn't mind, the file had already been uploaded, the money transferred. This part, this was extra. The paper was related to a project Carla Radames had worked on last year.

Rf. Project Immortality

To: C.Radames

Synopsis: Virus a success. Encoded DNA of C-Virus transfer into G-Virus worked but not vice versa. G-Virus mutation in Birkin strain is unique, not the same as the previously applied sample. The mutation has given it some interesting qualities.

Muller's immunity is the best test subject we have. If we can get the new C/G virus(name?) to work on him, we'll have plenty of test subjects volunteering.

Birkin needs to be kept at all costs. Her virus cannot be replicated. The reason is unknown at this time.

Suggest removal of both subjects to the lab in the China Sea. Results are promising, start phase 3 of Project: Resurrection.

From: A.Wesk

Ada stared at the paper in front of her. Surely not.

Surely they knew they'd had Albert Wesker's clone in their midst the whole time. Her hands shook, and she forced herself to remain calm. Wesker had always been a step ahead of everyone else. He paid well, but his last project with Uroborous had many of his investors on edge.

And the Family had actually put in motion a plan to kill him. Chris Redfield had simply beat them to it. But this paper seemed to indicate that there was more to the story. Wesker either wasn't as dead as he claimed to be, or his clone was calling the shots. What were the other two phases of the so called "Project: Resurrection?"

Ada turned to leave and turned right into arms of Wesker's clone. Chloroform filled her lungs. She hadn't heard his approach. How long had he been there? She didn't struggle, there would have been no point.

Her mind teetered on blackness as she tried to comprehend how he'd suddenly appeared behind her. She never felt her body slide to the floor.

They made him wait.

Jake paced the length of the room. He would stop and sigh dramatically on occasion, wave a fist, roll an eye, and simply continue pacing. Leon hid a grin. He understood the impatience. He felt the same way, he had just learned to hide it better.

They had sat through a few hours of interviews on the scene, endured yet another lecture about "jumping the gun" and been forced to wait as the scene was cleared. It wasn't Leon's favorite part of the mission. He winced when he thought of the mounds of paperwork he'd have to fill out later. He briefly considered leaving it to Jake being that Jake was the "rookie" but with Sherry, due any day he knew he would be the one filling it out. Jake could catch the paperwork later.

Jake stopped and stared into the room they'd just found the boy in. Everything had been disabled, the computer program no longer responding to anyone. It appeared to be simply a smooth wall once more. He sighed. Whatever the techies were hoping to get here he didn't know. Just give him a gun and tell him where to point it. He preferred movement to waiting.

"I don't get it," he said to Leon. "What's with all the clones?"

Leon sighed. "You know I never met the guy but he's a pain the ass. Probably to throw us off track, but the problem is, these are real. And unfortunately, they're innocent."

"Innocent?" Jake smirked, thinking of the boy at the end. He couldn't quite put him in the same league as Wesker even if was genetically identical. He also couldn't believe he was entirely innocent.

"I still think he wants to come back from the dead." Jake glanced around the complex. The room was small and furnished with a bed, a small table and a chair, all white. There were books on the bookshelf, mostly science books.

"What would you do with all that knowledge in your head and a god complex?" Leon said staring at the wall again.

Jake could only shrug. He wanted to get back home to Sherry. Their child was due at any moment and Jake was practically dancing on his toes to get back to her and be there when the baby came.

Leon saw the anxiety on the younger man's face and grinned. "Go." He said smiling. "I've got this. I'll let you know what we find. If we find anything."

"You sure?" Jake asked, torn. He had been hunting down the clone who had captured and injected him for a while now and wanted to be there when they caught him.

He'd since come to terms with Chris Redfield over the killing of his Father. Hell, there were days when he wished he could have been the one to pull the trigger. Now he was helping to put an end to the Wesker legacy.

Jake was pretty sure that this was the definition of irony.

"Yeah, I'm sure," said Leon. "I'll call you with what we find out. Go, say hi to Sherry for me."

Jake nodded. They were only a few hours away from Sherry and Claire by plane.

He left just as they were bringing the younger clone back. The boy looked up and locked eyes with Jake for a moment and Jake shuddered. This was what his father started off as? The boy did not smile, or make any sort of facial expression... but for a brief moment, Jake thought he saw something in the eyes. A flicker of uncertainty, recognition. Then it was gone.

His eyes narrowed and the boy's face turned a little fearful staring at him. Jake wondered if he'd imagined that glance. It had lasted only a second. If at all. He shook his head and kept moving past him.

"Good luck, kid." The boy said nothing and Jake kept walking. That kid would probably live the rest of his life like Sherry, a ward of the government until the threat of her life was over. And because she was such a valuable asset she wouldn't be allowed to live without surveillance ever.

He wondered if this was what is was like for Claire. To always be worried that the offspring of Wesker was going to snap. To say Claire didn't trust him was putting it mildly. But they'd come to an understanding for Sherry's sake. Claire at least understood he loved Sherry and would never hurt her. She was never going to feel comfortable around him, but she wasn't afraid of him.

He hoped.

His phone buzzing knocked him out of his revelry, it was a text from Claire simply reading "LABOR STARTED, GET HERE NOW!"

He forgot everything else and raced to the truck.

Sherry sat in her bed after the last contraction resting. They were about ten minutes apart, and quite painful. She had decided to go without painkillers thinking it couldn't be worse than anything she had experienced before and now she was mentally kicking herself. China had been a walk in the part compared to her last contraction.

Finding a doctor had been difficult. Well almost impossible...

Sherry knew she would have never have known about the pregnancy at all until her belly started swelling. There were no other indications, a lack of morning sickness, or exhaustion of any kind which she knew was probably a side effect of the G-Virus. For once a welcome one.

The healing had set her apart. At least until Jake had come along anyway.

It had been her greatest asset, and her greatest bane. They had tested it endlessly while she was still growing up. Sherry was certain that her samples were still in storage somewhere within the American Government, probably also within the care of other groups by now. And now as an agent she could be sent almost anywhere without worry about serious injury. It was one of the reasons she'd gone into Edonia alone in the first place.

But still she was here now, about to have a baby...Jake's baby. The contraction came again, and she gritted her teeth against it. The pressure built and she tried to ride out the wave but gasped in pain as it peaked. She didn't want to wake Claire who had fallen asleep in a chair after calling Jake.

Claire had been sitting with her for hours after Leon and Jake had left. Tracking the clones of Wesker was a big task and Jake had finally been given a job, identity, and a new legitimate life.

They'd even gotten married...

The memory came as the contraction went. Sherry went ahead and thought about that day. It bad been a small ceremony. A magistrate had officiated.

Leon and Claire had stood behind them as witnesses, Chris and Jill had also shown up. They'd had dinner with them and then gone their separate ways on a honeymoon. Jake had shaken Chris's hand then grinning and saying, "he wasn't wasting time either." Sherry never did figure that one out.

Another contraction came, much harder and this time Sherry couldn't conceal the gasp this time.

In the chair Claire's eyes flew open.

"Sherry, are they getting closer? Why haven't you said anything?" Claire's tone was anything but angry.

"They're definitely getting closer." Sherry gasped out. "Where's Jake?"

"He's coming." Claire said. Where was the doctor? There was a monitor on Sherry's belly, and Claire hesitated before opening the door to ask for a nurse. "Sherry when is the last time anyone came in to check on you?"

"It's been a while," Sherry replied as the contraction subsided again. Sweat was beginning to glisten across her face.

There was one thing Claire had noticed that Sherry hadn't, and that was it was very quiet. There was no noise in the hall. No other nurses talking. They were on the end room but still, they should hear something. Claire had noted that there were very few other women in the delivery section this week.

"Something is wrong," Claire said suddenly eyeing the door. "It's too quiet out there."
