Leon is now 52 years old, he no longer has the physical strength and flexibility he had in his twenties, but he never really noticed it thanks to his missions. He trained a lot, did sports, paid attention to his diet then during the missions he did not feel his joints creak and his back tense thanks to the adrenaline that passed through his body non-stop. After he returned from his mission which was normally to find answers about his illness, in the end it lasted several days and he almost died, he decided that it was his last mission. Then he returned to Raccon City, where it all began for him, finishing on this mission could make him turn a big page in his life.
Then when he learned of your pregnancy a few days after his return, he knew that it was now that he had to lay down his weapons. He never really knew if he wanted children later, in reality, he wanted them but for him he didn't deserve them and who would want to have children with a man like him?
You.
You with your beautiful eyes, so beautiful that he got lost.
You with your beautiful hair that shines in the sun or that sticks to your angel face when it rains.
You with your body that he only noticed later, this body that he wanted to discover from the first days you met.
You with your laugh that soothes his thoughts and relaxes his shoulders, like your hands by the way.
In short, you.
During pregnancy, Leon was rather calm, he was excited and was already starting to build a cradle when you had told him the day before. He began to panic when the months passed and your belly came to impose itself, for him you had become some very fragile and sexy things obviously not on the wrong side, he just had the impression that when your pants were above your belly, the elastic slaughter your baby through your belly... You must have had a conversation about that, because his anxiety and paranoia stressed you out.
Apart from his over protection he was attentive, you could ask for anything. Even if it was the moon he would have asked the government for a piece for you.
At the birth of your little girl- Leila. Leon cried, discreetly, but you saw the small drops on his cheekbones marked, which did not help your crying either.
You always thought Leon was a dad girl- you has seen in with sherry and now grace, and by having one, it turned out. She was his princess, he played with her, fed her, gave her her baths, changed her diaper... With every interaction he could have with his daughter, he jumped at the opportunity.
During the first 3 years of parental life, you fell in love with Leon Kennedy again.
When you wake up you realize that your husband is not by your side, which saddens you a little. You still stay in bed a little to enjoy the sweet morning. You hear LeΓ―la's laughter downstairs with little boom boom that follow them... What's going on?
Your curiosity takes over and you get up, before getting out of bed you quickly aerate the room and very quickly make the bed and go down the stairs. When you get downstairs you understand that your daughter's little boom and laughter come from the living room, you go there and come across a rather...comical scene.
Leila is sitting on the couch, her teddy bear in her arms while she laughs at her father, who does squat jumps... You can't help but laugh at the scene that attracts the attention of the two most important people in your life.
"What are you doing, Leon?" Leon stops, already sweaty and out of breath. Leila jumps off the couch and jumps into your arms at the millisecond your voice resounded in the living room. You lifted her in your arms and kissed her cheek.
Leila answers instead of her father "Daddy shows me the things he did before saving the world!" You sneer a little and turn to Leon who feels like he has lost all the respiratory capacity of his lungs.
"You know, he could do much more things when he was younger, sweetie. Age has taken away a lot of abilities from him..." You says these words to tease him a little, which works. "Hey, I hear you, babe." He approaches you to place a kiss on your forehead, your cheeks blush and your heart runs a little, even after so many years his touch and affection still affects you so much.
"What was he doing before, Dad?" Leila's big blue eyes shine with curiosity, she wants to learn more about her dad's past. You think and say softly.
"He trained for hours, he went running in the morning, he stretched every time he got out of bed...and the missions in general that he asked his body for a lot of strength and cardio!-" Leon said nothing and looked at you only with an amused smirk, amused that in your point of view he was almost sexy when in reality he came back covered in sweat asking you for massages- even in his youth he asked for massages.
"-Oh and he also did a lot of somersaults!" Leila's big blue eyes widen and her pink lips form an O. "Woahhhh-" She turns her head towards Leon and jumps into your arms. "Dad, dad do a backflip!" The excitement was easy to read in Leila's eyes and voice, she wanted so much to see her 52 year dad do a backflip without stretching and regular training as before.
You grimace a little at the idea, already imagining the worst. "I'm not sure it's a good-" Leon won't let you finish your sentence. "Don't you believe in your dear husband, love?" He raises an amused eyebrow and shifts a little putting himself in the hallway of the hall to have space.
You follow him with Leila still in your arms, almost exploding with impatience. "Leon...Are you really sure?"
Leon shrugs his shoulders with a nonchalant smile. "Backflips canβr be forgotten, like cycling." He sends you a wink "You're talking to a former government agent."
In reality, Leon wasn't sure what he was doing, but how can he say no to Leila's big eyes similar to yours- Leila only has the color of his eyes, but she clearly has your look.
Leon clears his throat and rubs his hands and thighs. Go old man, you still have it
He swings his arms from front to back between his knees. You turn your head away and close your eyes not wanting to see this, while Leila applauds her father. "Dad, dad, dad!"
To Leon's surprise, he falls back on his feet with a big smile, but with his hands on his knees. Leila jumps out of your arms to run towards Leon "You're so strong, Dad!"
Leon smiled proudly. "I know my darling, you will have the same strength when you are older-"
Clack. It's only straightened, nothing more.
You who looked at him again see the slight change in expression on his face, the way his lips tighten and how his breath cuts off. You refrain from jumping on him out of concern, but fortunately, once her father's show is over, Leila goes back to the living room.
You're heading towards Leon. "Leon, what's going on? And don't tell me anything." Leon quickly cancels the option of not saying anything with his head and sighs, but he hiss while breathing, one of his hands comes to join his lower back.
"Um, I think I blocked my back..." His cheeks are a little pink with embarrassment. On your side, you hesitate between laughing and sighing... so you make a mixture of the two.
You gently wrap your arm around his lower back to help him a little and say. "I told you what, old man."
Leon frowns and then smiles quickly amused. "Be careful what you say, you might regret it." This time a whole laugh escapes your lips and you say more softly so that Leila doesn't hear.
"Avoid it, you will get your back, again, stuck in bed like the last time." Leon widens his eyes, shocked. "Hey! That's not really nice."
The following week was hours of sessions with the physiotherapist and the osteopath, the same two that he had seen when his back was blocked for the first time.
As they say, never two without threeβ¦
