    Summary

    He crossed his arms as he glanced down at the sleeping baby. "So…care to explain?"

    Chris didn't meet his eyes as he stayed silent, and Leon thought he wouldn't get a response, but then, he said, "Just to be clear—she's not mine. In case you were wondering."

    Well. I was, actually. But that still doesn't answer my million other questions.

    "It's…a long story," Chris continued. "I promise I'll explain everything in the morning—just…we might have to stay here for a bit. I don't know how long." He finally looked up to meet Leon's eyes, and he hadn't seen them hold that much pain in years. "You're one of the few people I can trust with this. I'm sorry."

    — or

    Just after Leon is given another forced vacation after an awful mission, Chris arrives at his apartment with a baby after three years of radio silence, needing a place to lay low while shit with the BSAA gets figured out. It couldn't be worse timing considering his mental state, but Leon could never be one to say no to someone in need—especially when it was Chris.

    Then again, maybe the timing ends up being exactly when he needed it the most.
