Peter loved joking around with Claire since he knew she could take it. Their first meeting she had been the one to joke around with him saying she was just a cheerleader. He never understood why she had to say that but it worked. “Oh you defiantly still do.” He chuckles giving her a huge grin. He had remembered all the times she had escaped to new York after her family moved and now her life was different but she still was that teenager that wanted it her way most of the time. “but hey you have parents who care about you and not just want your power.” He still hadn’t gotten over what he dad wanted with him.
“I always rock.” He popped up his jacket’s collar grinning like a stupid boy. “Call me Peter hell call me dude anything but uncle.” He then backed away on the couch as she stated to tickle. “I take it back call me Uncle Peter.” He states feeling a bit weird of their playfulness but he soon over came it as he started to tickle her back. As soon as he started she had stopped. “That’s more like it. Respecting your elders.”
Peter smiled at her as he touched her hair and then leaned now kissing her forehead. “I’m going to ask you something because I’m just wondering but try not to take it the wrong way.” He looked to the ground sighing. “Do you still love West?” He was wanting to find love like Claire had with Sam and West but they both ended the wrong way. He wanted his niece to find someone she loved and loved her back and wouldn’t leave her. He wanted someone to come home to and feel the love Claire must had felt before everything went bad for her. He didn’t have anyone else to talk to about this even if it felt a bit weird he needed some answers.

[ooc: this thread was started ages ago cuz of Steven taking a while to respond, it started with her and West still happy but as time has gone on, they've split - so just ignore the earlier parts where she speaks of being happy with him - benefit of anybody reading this thread]
Claire loved nothing better than to joke around with Peter, it actually rocked to have an uncle who didn't exactly act or look like an uncle, but instead a handsome older brother or best friend. The fact there wasn't that much of an age gap between them helped she thought. Maybe it was why they were so close. Or maybe it was just because she was a Petrelli. "Yeah? Well I guess I wouldn't be me if I didn't" she replied when he said she still caused trouble. Claire was a very determined young woman, but most people loved her for it. "Yeah, I know, and I've got two fathers, both of whom seem to love me for me, I feel so much better now that me and dad as in biological dad have began to bond" Claire said with a smile.
She didn't know why, but the whole idea of being a Petrelli just made her feel so special. Not because her dad was the President, it had nothing to do with that, it was just the simple fact of belonging to a family who were, well for want of a better explanation, high in society. Sure she still loved Noah and Sandra, they had raised her from a baby and she always would love them, despite the secrets, but she was a member of a family who were surrounded in more secrets than Noah had probably ever told in his whole life.
"Of course you do" Claire replied and laughed as she watched him turn his jacket collar up and grinning. She couldn't stop grinning when he went into a spat of telling her to call him Peter, dude anything but uncle, and then agreeing to Uncle Peter when she began to tickle him. Of course he tickled her right back and when he did she stopped tickling him. "Nah, it's cool, I'll just call you Peter, you're more like a big brother than an uncle anyway" she said just as he stopped tickling her back.
"Yeah, that's me respecting my elders" she replied and poked her tongue out at him again.
She just smiled as he touched her hair and kissed her forehead and then asked a serious question. She wasn't too sure how to answer it. If she just turned round and said no she didn't love him anymore wouldn't it make her bad? Like how could she be with somebody and be blissfully happy one moment and then say she wasn't the next? "I could never take anything you say the wrong way Peter" she replied before actually answering his question.
"Truthfully?" she asked with a sigh, and then looked down at the floor before continuing. "In a way yes, I'm carrying his child after all, in another way no, because it's the second time he's abandoned me, why?" she asked not in an accusing way, just because she was wondering why he felt he had to ask the question.

Peter smiled at Claire as she talked about Nathan. “I’m glad he is trying.” When he heard about Nathan having a daughter he was furious at his brother who didn’t tell him till he found out that Nathan thought she was dead. It made much more sense then it had when he first found out though years ago he would always sense something with his brother when they saw a baby or heard the name Claire. Peter just took it as one of Nathan’s ex-girlfriends because he had a lot of those.
Peter shook his head at her. “Well big brother or not. I got your back.” Now placing his arm around her shoulders. He poked his tongue out back at her before he chuckled. “What is wrong with us?” He listened to Claire as she talked about West before he gave her a hug. “No one else is going to abandoned you.” Peter sighed, it was now his turn to truly speak his mind. “I want to find love.”
He looks at her seriously putting the joking bit aside as he runs his hands through his hair. “I been caught up in saving the world that I haven’t done anything just for me. I don’t have a job well one that I can tell people about. I don’t have friends or anyone special.” He shook his head now thinking back to the last person he truly cared about. “The last women I loved was Simone.” He looks at Claire trying not to give her a sad face but cant help it. “She was never really mine. I stole her from Isaac and now they are both dead.” He thought about how he saw Claire and West when they were happy and how it changed so quickly. “I want to feel….anything.”

Claire smiled when Peter said he was glad Nathan was trying. Well to Claire he was actually doing more than just trying, he was doing a great job. She couldn't wait to move in with him, that would be the best thing ever if she could do that. Spending quality time with her biological father, and of course making sure to take enough trips to visit with her other family the Bennets. "Yeah, it's great" she said softly as she nudged into Peter playfully.
"Good to know that Peter" Claire said warmly when he said he had her back, but it was like a two way thing with them, he had her back and she had his. She really did love him, and she sometimes wondered from the day he had saved her at homecoming what she would do without him in her life now. She knew it wouldn't be the same, that was for sure. She never wanted anything to happen to him or Nathan.
She felt safe when he put his arm around her, just like she always felt safe around him. "I don't know, but it's fun" Claire said when he asked what was wrong with them in a playful way, so she just played back with him really. Then he hugged her saying nobody would ever abandon her again. She wasn't sure about that, but she knew it wouldn't be her family who would abandon her, that she was certain of. "Thanks Peter I know family I can count on, not sure if I'll ever allow myself to fall in love again, it seems so pointless" she said with a heavy heart.
Peter told her had asked the question because he wanted to find love. Claire's heart sank a little, here she was busy telling him that she might never allow herself to fall in love again because it seems so pointless. Was she even the best person to talk to about love? She wasn't really sure. However she listened to him go on about Simone and Isaac and how they were both dead.
"You can't help who you fall in love with Peter, and Simone and Isaac's deaths were bad, but you shouldn't blame yourself, and you know what? You'll find somebody, I mean, come on you're pretty perfect, fun, loving, caring, handsome, what's not to like? Any woman would be crazy not to fall in love with you" Claire said as she gently nudged him again.

Peter smiled at Claire as she went on about her never falling in love again. He knew Claire and knew that when a man came into her life she would fall in love and finally be happy. “I guess we will wait and see.” He chuckled slightly as a smirk came on his face. “Maybe we should put money on it.” Since the two loved to joke around he figure why not bet on their love lives.
He closed his eyes when she said not to blame himself. He blamed himself everyday about that but she was right it wasn’t all his fault and he had to move on from it. “Thanks Claire.” She then went to boast his ego giving him the props. “Seems like someone will have to meet your standards before they date me.” He winks hoping Claire would have his back in the love department because he would always watch her back no matter what.
(ooc: sorry its short I got no more ideas lol--maybe end this and do a future thread if u want?)

[ooc: its kosha, my post can finish it, she's still pregnant at that point, I'll have her fall asleep on the sofa - so people can just assume that Peter left after and a future thread might be good if you want]
Claire just smiled when Peter said about waiting to see on her whole not falling in love again. She figured he was maybe right, maybe if the right guy did come along, but for the moment Claire was too hurt and upset over Sam and West to even contemplate getting into another relationship so soon. "Maybe Peter" she said agreeing with him. When he joked about putting money on it, she grinned at him, "That might not be such a bad idea." It would certainly be funny to see who ended up falling in love and settling for good first. Her bets were on Peter however.
"For sure Peter, for sure" Claire agreed when he spoke about someone having to meet her standards before they dated him. Peter was a mighty fine catch in Claire's eyes, after all she did have a little crush on him when she first saw him and then had to recoil when she found out he was actually her uncle. It wasn't long after that West came into her life. Then he left it, then came in Sam, then West came back and now she was on her own again.
She suddenly felt herself get very tired, the pregnancy was causing it a lot these days. She yawned, and lay across Peter's lap, she didn't know if he'd stay or not, but she looked up at him and smiled, "Don't mind do you? I feel very tired." With that she closed her eyes, feeling safe again, Peter was there, and when he was there she always felt safe.
