Birthday (Peter/Becca)

[parker]

March 15^th, 2016
The Petrelli Residence

Parker Petrelli opened his eyes in pure excitement. He looked at his digital clock the was on his bedside table, it read five o’clock in the morning and that made it all better because today he was turning five years old. He threw his stuff bunny Chester at the end of his bed as he hurried out of the bed heading for his parents room. They had moved into their house when Parker was a baby so this was the only home he remembered though he did say he remembered the apartment but he really didn’t.

He turned the door as slow as possible not wanting to wake up his parents before his surprise landing on their bed. Tip-toeing his way into the room Parker looked at the bed seeing his two year old sister Sophia fast asleep in between their parents. She’s such a baby. Granted she was two years old Parker would always think of his sister as a baby. His sister and himself were as different as could be. Sophia looked like Peter except for the curls in her hair that came from Becca and Parker looked more like Becca than Peter. Parker enjoyed running around like a monkey and Sophia was more calm and liked being cuddled.

He got up on the edge of the bed crawling his way up to his sleeping family. He went in the middle of his parents right under Sophia as he was about to jump Sophia’s foot came up and hit Parker’s forehead. He glared at Sophia who was wide awake laughing her little head off. “Sophie!” He glared as he started jumping on the bed which made his sister join in. “Its my birthday!”

“Birth-day birth-day!” Sophia joined in as Parker picked her up throwing them both down on the bed, which in fact would have woken up their parents from their dead sleep.

Peter was in a very deep sleep next to Becca. Yesterday he was more than aware that it was his son's birthday, he was turning five years old and he and Becca had planned some good surprises for him. However, it seemed as if Parker had a surprise all of his own. Their youngest child Sophia had slipped into their bed during the night as always and was sleeping between her parents.

Soon Peter felt like he was on a trampoline as the bed began to bounce up an down and he turned and looked with one eye open. Seeing both his son and daughter wide awake. He groaned slightly as he saw the time on the clock. "P..Parker!" He said in a rough voice, which it always was when he had just woke up and not had a glass of water yet. "It's eeeeeee-arly!" Peter dragged the word out, but he couldn't help laugh at the excitement of the two children.

He sat up and grabbed Parker and began tickling him. "Happy Birthday Parker, you're a big boy now." Peter said with a laugh, and then he moved him toward Becca, "Go on, waken up mommy!" Peter said with a wink and a laugh, as he watched to see what Parker was going to do.

[becca]

Becca had been sleeping for less than six hours. It seemed that Sophia had came down with a slight fever and wanted her mommy to take care of her. She had taken the child and put her into bed next to her father as she went to check online about fevers so by midnight she finally went to bed. Now she felt jumping on the bed, peering her eyes open she saw her family then the clock. Five in the morning. She wasn’t quite sure who had woken up first but she knew that waking up this early wasn’t one of the traits she had passed down to either of her children. She closed her eyes back up thinking that maybe just maybe they would let her sleep. It was doubtful very doubtful.

She felt a wet something on her cheek. Opening her eyes she saw her five year old son licking her cheek. “Aw Parker.” Wiping her cheek she grabbed her son holding him into a hug as he was trying to get out of it. “Big boys don’t do that.” She stated in between kisses she was giving him. “Did daddy put you up to this?” She questions knowing she wouldn’t get a straight answer. Kissing him once again before he managed to get away. “Happy birthday my baby boy.” With that Sophia started jumping once again and Parker followed along giving Becca enough space to slide over to her husband. “How did we make such a beautiful boy?”

Resting her head on Peter’s chest she watches their kids jump. Life was perfect and it was about to get even better but she would save that surprise for a little later. “Sophia had a slight fever last night so she begged me to let her stay with us again.” She gives her husband a puppy dog look knowing he maybe was getting a bit annoyed by their daughter sleeping with them so often. It had been awhile since the two had alone time.

[parker]

When his father woke up, Parker could only let out a chuckle when Peter stated his name. “Hi Dad.” He kept jumping on the huge size bed laughing when Peter brought out the word early. “Its only five in the morning. I’m five today so I had to wake up at five.” He thought that if you wake up at the same number you were turning you get more presents. It wasn’t like he didn’t have toys, he had a lot from his Grandma but he still wanted some more so he could play with something new.

When he got into his dad’s arms he began laughing in glee before he gave his dad a hug as Peter told him to wake up mom. Parker slowly crawled over to his sleeping mother and licked her cheek with his tongue like he was a dog. “Mamma let me go.” He giggled as she began to kiss him. “Daddy said to wake you up.” He squirmed trying to get out of her embrace finally getting away not sure if his mother was going to make him get time out he moved away as fast as he could. “I’m five today.” He stood up taking Sophia’s hands as they started jumping once again. “What’s for breakfast?”

[peter2]

Peter couldn't help but laugh at Parker when he stated that it was 'only five'. That was precisely Peter's point, it was five in the morning. It was early. "Ah, so it gets better for us next year then? You'll be six, so you wake up at six? I see how it is, seven, wake up at seven, eight, wake up at eight, so on." Peter said and continued to laugh. Oh well, Peter thought to himself, at least the older Parker gets, the longer they get to sleep in, unless they have to get up for work of course.

When Parker hugged him, Peter just hugged him back and kissed his son on the forehead. He loved his kids so much. Once Parker made his way over to waken up Becca, he lifted up Sophia and kissed her all over her face making her giggle. "Daddy's little girl aren't you Sophia." Peter said and continued kissing her all over again, that was until Parker grabbed Sophia's hands and began jumping with her after he'd successfully woken up mommy.

"I told him to waken you Bella Donna, didn't tell him to lick your face, but that's good, I must remember that." Peter said with a laugh as Becca slid closer over to him and he immediately wrapped his arm around Becca's shoulder pulling her close to him. Then Becca asked how did they make such a beautiful boy, he grinned, "Well that's easy, it's in the genes, I mean there's me, handsome, suave, sophisticated." He began and laughed, teasing as usual, "Then there's you, pure beauty from inside and out. Of course we have beautiful children, they have the best of both of us." Peter said as he moved in closer and softly kissed Becca on the lips while the kids were still jumping around.

When Becca went on to explain about why Sophia was in their bed again, Peter just gave her a soft smile, "It's fine Becca, I don't mind, she is my little Princess after all." Peter replied as he continued to watch her and Parker jump up and down on the bed. Then Parker was asking what was for breakfast. "I don't know Parker, what's for breakfast mommy?" Peter asked as he looked at Becca and winked.

[becca]

Becca smiled at Parker when she said Peter told him to wake him up. “Oh did he now?” She began tickling him. “I’ll never let my baby boy go.” She loved Parker but she was now a bit mad that he would wake her up. It was Peter’s fault anyways. “Now daddy why did you want to wake me up?” She snickered as she looked at Peter shaking her head.

As Becca played with Parker she watched Peter play with Sophia who was having a blast as well. She loved her children and was glad that Sophia looked more like Peter then herself because her daughter made her think of Peter every time se watched her when Peter was not around. Sophia was a beautiful girl but sometimes stubborn so whatever magic Peter had over there daughter made it much easier to get her to comply to their wishes.

She tapped his shoulder in a playful way when he said he might try the licking to wake her up. “You better not Peter Petrelli.” Becca cuddled into him as he put his shoulder around her. Rolling her eyes when Peter went on about what genes their children got from them, sometimes he could be so cocky. She leaned into the kiss placing her hand on Peter’s cheek as she slowly pulled away looking at him. “You are definitely suave.”

She rested her head back on Peter’s shoulder as she closed her eyes trying to quietly fall asleep without anyone noticing. Peter was great with whatever she threw at him. He was fine with Sophia sleeping in their bed but soon she wouldn’t be allowed to with Becca’s condition. As soon as she closed her eyes both Peter and Parker asked what was for breakfast. Sitting up she grabbed Parker hugging him. “How about waffles?” She questioned as Parker gave her a smile. “Okay waffles with bananas and walnuts.”

Shaking her head she figured out something else to use. “No waffles with strawberries and whip cream. No…” Throwing her hands up in the air before she kissed Parker’s forehead. “How about vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce?” Her craving were off the wall and she still hadn’t told Peter about the news. “Let’s go.” She watched as her children run off downstairs. Becca grabs her light grey robe looking over at Peter wondering if he was thinking that something was wrong. Rubbing the back of her neck she started to head down stairs.

[peter2]

When Becca asked why he wanted to wake her up, he rubbed at his eyes with his free hand, and then winked at her, "Well, why should I be the only one to get woken up early?" He asked, but he was of course teasing Becca. Peter had a very bad habit of teasing the women in his life, well, not so much his mother, he didn't get away with it, with her, but definitely Claire, Becca and Molly and even his adopted sister Rebekah got teased.

Peter pouted when Becca said he had better not try the licking thing to wake her up. "Aw, but why not Becca, you taste so good." He replied and laughed. It was true though, every time he kissed her she always tasted so good to him. So, naturally licking her wouldn't be any different, right? When Becca cuddled into him, he snuggled more closely. After he kissed her, and Becca had agreed that he was indeed suave, he winked, "Well thank you my Bella Donna, have I told you how simply gorgeous and irresistible you are recently?" He asked, knowing full well he had, he says it to her every day.

Peter was aware of Becca leaning her had on his shoulder and knew she'd be trying to close her eyes again, but he figured he'd leave her be. However, the moment didn't last long when Parker started shouting about what he was going to have for breakfast. As Peter wasn't sure if Becca had anything planned for Parker's birthday breakfast, he figured she'd have to answer the question.

Peter could only laugh as Becca went through a myriad of different toppings for the waffles for breakfast. When she seemed to settle on vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce Peter could only raise his eyebrow. Not the typical or healthiest breakfast choice. Anyway the kids seemed happy enough about it and they ran down the stairs. As Becca got out of the bed, Peter followed after, throwing on a shirt for now, he'd shower after breakfast. He then followed Becca, watched as she rubbed her neck.

"You alright this morning Becca?" Peter asked as he rubbed at her shoulders and neck as he walked behind her, worried about his wife, as she had rubbed at her neck. He was hoping she wasn't feeling ill or something.

[becca]

Because I’m pregnant. Becca gave him a smile. “Oh I don’t know. Maybe I thought my husband would let his wife sleep in for once.” Of course she was only teasing but then again she really did need her rest but since she hadn’t told Peter about the baby he had no idea the condition she was in.

She gave him a chuckle when he stated that she tasted good. “You don’t taste so bad yourself Petrelli.” Peter always tasted like sugar to her, though she wasn’t aware of him having a sweet tooth, maybe he snuck treats when she wasn’t looking. Licking just seemed so wrong to her. It was someone else’s wet body part touching her face. She didn’t want the kids to have a dog and she didn’t need to husband becoming one. Patting Peter’s chest when he asked if he had told her how wonderful she was, she could only laugh. “I believe you have though maybe it was the mailman who told me.”

Becca was in a daze when Peter asked her his question but came out of it when she jumped a little when he started rubbing her shoulders. Turning her head slightly, looking at Peter, she gave him a small smile. “I feel fine.” Moving her head back looking at the wall she figured the kids would be knocked back out while watching television that she had enough time to tell Peter right now.

Taking Peter’s hand she turned herself around walking both of them to the bed. Sighing as she sat down she gave her husband a look. “Peter you know how much I love you right?” She folded her arms across her chest. “I wouldn’t try to make you hurt or mad in any way. We have a wonderful family and its all because of you.” She was rambling, she hated rambling. “I…I have to tell you something.” She looked Peter in the eyes hoping he couldn’t kill her for waiting for so long to tell him. “I’m pregnant, almost three months.” She wasn’t sure how Peter would react so she sat there holding her hands together looking at the floor.

[peter2]

Peter laughed and shook his head. "If our kids wake me up this early, then it's only fair you get up this early too." He said and laughed, of course he was teasing her, but then he wasn't aware of her current condition and if he was, he would of course let her sleep and he would have dealt with their over excited kids himself. "Next time, I promise to let you sleep in, deal?" He said and winked at her. He really hoped Becca was alright, he wasn't sure why, but he had this feeling that maybe there was something wrong with her, but he seriously hoped not.

When Becca said he didn't taste so bad himself, he winked at her and grinned, "Is that right Mrs Petrelli." He said as he leaned in to kiss her again and gently bit down on her bottom lip. "Hmm, definitely tastes good." He said, teasing her as always and wondering if she would now do the same thing back to him. Peter could only laugh back when Becca patted his chest and said maybe he had told her how gorgeous and irresistible he was, but maybe it was the mailman as well. "Well, if the mailman's told you, then he and I are going to have words." He replied, joking of course and grinned and winked at her again.

Peter wasn't so sure, when Becca said she felt fine, somehow, he just wasn't completely buying it. There was definitely something wrong, or at least, something she was keeping from him, he could somehow sense it. Then he felt Becca take his own hand and she was leading him back to the bed. He just raised his eyebrow at her, wondering what was going on. He sat down beside her and just looked at her with a worried expression on his face.

She went on about saying how much she loved him, and how she wouldn't hurt him, and how they had a wonderful family and it was because of him. Then she said she had something to tell him. He didn't like this, she was ill, or dying or something. "Becca, you know what ever is wrong, you can tell me, don't you?" He asked in a very worried voice. When Becca continued and told him that she was pregnant, and almost three months, his eyes opened wide. Why hadn't she told him any sooner? He saw the way she looked down at her hands, obviously worried about his reaction maybe?

He used one of his hands and tilted her face to look at him, gazing into her eyes. "I'm just wondering why didn't tell me any sooner, but Becca, this is fantastic, didn't you think I'd be happy?" He asked her, as he then stood up from the bed and pulled Becca into a warm hug. Then so happy and so excited he said in his own language ** "Tu sei la gravidanza? Ma è fantastico Becca." He could feel a tear escaping his eye, but he wasn't going to stop it, this was a wonderful moment for both of them.

** Translation: You're pregnant? But that's wonderful Becca.

[becca]

“Fair is fair but you know I need my beauty sleep.” She knew her husband wasn’t going to buy that which made Becca think she needed to tell Peter as soon as possible. She could only chuckle when Peter said he would let her sleep in next time. “Deal.” She took his hand and shook it. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes when Peter winked at her. He had done that since they first met but now she couldn’t keep the number straight on how many winks he had gave her over the years.

She smirked when he bit down on her lip, usually she could do the same back at him but this time she kissed him, it was a soft quick kiss but as she pulled away she moved fast back to his lip biting it gently. “Um not as good before. What did you eat this morning?” She teased knowing very well Peter didn’t wake up in the middle of the night for a snack. She would have known with her getting up with morning sickness around one in the morning. Shaking her head about the mailman. “Well just make sure he delivers Parker’s birthday cards first.”

Becca nodded at Peter as he told her she could tell him anything. She knew she could but this felt different. She couldn’t understand why she felt this way but she figured it was because of the pregnancy. Peter then glided her head to look up at him. He thought she thought that he wouldn’t be happy. She shook her head holding Peter’s hand that was on her face. “I only found out two weeks ago. I was so busy with the kids I didn’t even feel like anything was wrong with me.” She still wasn’t sure exactly why she didn’t tell him any sooner. “This baby feels different Pete. Maybe stronger then Parker or Sophia. I wasn’t sure what I was thinking by not telling you. I’m so sorry.”

Then Peter stood them both up, pulling her into a hug, she loved his warmth. Becca rolled her eyes when Peter spoke in Italian. She really hated when he did that since she knew very little of the language. Se really could punch him now but that was her hormones talking. “Peter, English please.” After he told her what he meant she kissed him. She was so happy that he was happy. Now after the kiss ended she gave him a look. “Mamma wants some waffles.”

[peter2]

When Becca said she needed her beauty sleep, Peter just gave her a raised eyebrow and shook his head. "You know that's not true, you know you're the most beautiful woman in the world to me." He meant it as well. Peter never lied to Becca and he never would. To Peter, Becca really was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She didn't need beauty sleep, sleep to rest yes, like everybody, but for beauty?

Peter just chuckled when Becca took his hand and shook it and said 'deal' when he agreed to let her sleep on next time. He really did hope there was nothing wrong with her. She worried him sometimes, the whole sleep thing was really worrying him, and it was making his poor head go into overdrive with thoughts.

After he bit down on her lip, she kissed him back gently, and then went back to bite his lip too, saying he didn't taste as good as before, asking what he had eaten that morning. She was teasing him, just like he teased her, he chuckled, and shook his head. "The only thing I've eaten this morning so far, is you my Bella Donna." Winking at her and grinning. He was of course referring to biting on her bottom lip. "Oh don't worry, I'll make sure I get the cards first, and then I'll have words." He said seriously and then laughed, shaking his head.

"Hey, it's alright. You don't have to apologise. I'm just sorry I didn't figure it out sooner. You feel different? You're not having twins are you?" He asked in an excited voice. "Anyway, the main thing is, you've told me now, so everything is fine." He said in a calm and soothing voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm just so happy, you know Italian comes out in me when I'm really happy. I said, You're pregnant? But that's wonderful Becca." He then pulled her closer to him, but gently in the hug. When Becca kissed him, he kissed her back, he was so happy right now. Their little family was about to grow again, and really he couldn't be happier. When he stopped kissing her, Becca said mamma wants some waffles. He grinned at her and winked, "Well, if mamma wants some waffles, then some waffles she will have. I'll make the breakfast, just you sit and rest up, alright?" He said, as he took her hand to lead her down the stairs to the kitchen and dining room.

[becca]

Peter always had a way with words. So she, Becca Walker-Petrelli, was the most beautiful women in the world., her heart melted as she hear those words. “Well you’re not so bad yourself.” She smirked, Peter Petrelli was the most wonderful man she had ever met. He was everything to her, she couldn’t describe it in words but he was her everything.

“Damn.” He was right he had only tasted her this morning, so did that mean she didn’t like her own taste? She then moved closer to Peter once again and went in for a kiss sticking her tongue out a bit to lick his lips, after licking him she pulled away swirling the taste around her mouth to see if she really was going crazy. Licking her husband to see if she liked her own taste was crazy so yes she knew what the answer was. She gave him a cheeky smile. “I was just checking.” When Peter said he would make sure he got Parker’s cards first, it reminded her of something. “Good. Oh yeah you mom has some big gift for Parker. Please find out if it’s a dog before she brings it over.” She wanted her kids to get a dog one day but she wasn’t really ready for one to be here in the house.

“Twins?” Becca’s eyes grew in shock when Peter said about twins. “Oh God I hope not.” She looked at Peter giving him a smile. “Twins with two other children under the age of five. That would be like the Petrelli family dinners with the fighting and hyped up on apple juice all in one.” Shaking her head trying to get the image out of it. “I hope not.” She now was starting to freak out over the twins ordeal and how she had been feeling different. With one sentence Peter had calmed her down, closing her eyes she let out a breath getting back to normal.

When Peter offered to make breakfast all she could do was grin. “Aw that would be great honey.” As they started to walk in the hallway heading to the kitchen all Becca wanted to do was jump on Peter’s back and have a piggyback ride downstairs but that might hurt the baby so she didn’t even think about really doing that. They got to the kitchen to find a bowl out with a spoon that Parker must have gotten out before he had gone into the living room where both of their children were watching television soon to be past out in front of it.

Becca sat down at the small table in the kitchen, knowing she couldn’t get herself of the counter stool. “You should probably make the waffles with walnuts so they have a crunch to them since I promised Parker ice cream on them. he needs the protein.”

[peter2]

Peter just chuckled at Becca when she said he wasn't so bad himself. They were pretty good at giving each other compliments, and for Peter he always would give compliments to Becca, no matter what, she would always be his beautiful woman, his Bella Donna. When he had told Becca the only thing he'd eaten so far that morning was herself, he heard her say 'damn'. This made him chuckle again.

She then leaned in to kiss him again, using her tongue to lick at his lips, and then he watched as she seemingly swirled her tongue around and then cheekily said she was just checking. "Well, Becca Petrelli, I'm glad the taste is still to your satisfaction, because I might have to stop kissing you if it wasn't." He was again teasing, putting his hand up to his heart, "But of course, I'd rather not do that, oh the hurt I would feel." He gave her a pained look on his face. Becca was great to tease, well they were both great to tease each other.

When Peter said he would get Parker's cards before having 'supposed' words with the mailman, Becca mentioned something about a big parcel from his mom for Parker, and he was to check and make sure it wasn't a dog first. He raised his eyebrow then, "Mom, buying a dog for Parker? Doubt that, it's more likely to be a battery controlled car for him to go driving around in." He was of course meaning the model type ones you get for young toddlers, not an actual real car. "But sure, I'll check." He gave her a pat on the thigh then, and smiled at her.

Peter chuckled again and winked when Becca replied to his twins comment. It sounded to Peter like she thought it was a horrific idea, and then she continued with a slight description of what it would be like with twins and two children under five. Peter hadn't really thought about it like that. He opened both his eyes wide and then, "Never thought of it like that, don't worry Becca, I'm sure you're just having a few off days." Although he was mad at himself now, as he'd planted the idea in her head, and he knew deep down she'd never be done worrying about it.

Peter winked at her when Becca said it be great if he made the breakfast. He then went down the stairs with her, and as he walked into the kitchen had to laugh at the bowl and spoon lying out on the table. "Well, have to give him ten points for trying hey?" As it was still early, he could make the breakfast before worrying about getting Parker's cards, and when he did go out to get them, he'd phone his mom to put Becca's mind at ease over her gift for their son.

Becca then told him to make the waffles with walnuts because he needs the protein, he nodded his head. "Yup, no problems, and what does mamma want with her waffles?" He asked, just in case she was maybe thinking of something different. He then got out what he needed and began to make the waffles and added in the walnuts, while waiting on Becca answering his question about what she wanted herself.

[becca]

(ooc: can reply or not let me know it sucks.)

Becca gave Peter a look as he said that he might have to not kiss her anymore. That was so a Peter statement, rolling her eyes as she saw his hurt pain face. “Whatever Peter.” She hit his shoulder blade as she turned away, hiding her smile. Sure she knew Peter knew she was teasing, like always, but still she liked to make it feel new and fresh around each other. “I bet I could go longer from not kissing you then you could.”

Her eyes widen when Peter reveals the proposed toy Angela would be sending her grandson. “A car. Now we have to make sure he doesn’t drive it into the pool.” She loved her mother-in-law but sometimes she didn’t understand the Petrelli household even after all these years. But her husband said he would check, touching his hand that was on her thigh she smiled. “Thanks honey.”

Looking to the floor, she couldn’t help but wonder how many off days she could have but she had breakfast to worry about right now. Becca sat at the table smiling at the bowl. “And ten points for not getting out the batter.” She could just picture batter all over the place which would have been hard to clean while the kids ate. She thought about what she wanted and gave a quick smile. “I think I will just have the ice cream.” Truth be told, she wasn’t as hungry as she had been moments ago. Just then Sophia walked into the room and had her mom pick her up as she started to close her eyes. “Peter.” She whispered. “Don’t make too many I doubt we will be eating anytime soon.”

[peter2]

Peter just pretended to be hurt even more, and pouted his lips when Becca said 'whatever Peter'. Then he felt her hitting his shoulder before she turned away from him, but he knew she would be smiling. He could just tell these things. When she remarked that she bet she could last longer from not kissing him, than he could from kissing her, he knew he was defeated. "You're right. I admit defeat."

Peter could only chuckle at Becca's reaction to the birthday gift Peter said his mom was more likely to send for Parker. "Well, it might be better controlled than a puppy." He chuckled again then, truth was, he had no idea what his mom was sending for Parker's birthday, but he didn't think it would be a dog, not unless he had said to her Parker wanted one.

He felt maybe Becca was worrying a little too much, he was sure their son would be more careful than to drive the car into the pool, besides, he wouldn't be allowed to drive in it unless either himself or Becca were with him. And that was even if that's what his mom bought Parker.

Peter could only laugh at Becca adding in ten points for Parker not getting out the batter, but he had to agree with that, there would have been such a mess. "Well, if he had, I'd have cleared it. Mamma needs her rest now." Now that Peter knew Becca was pregnant, he'd do as much as he could, just like he done during her other pregnancies.

"Alright, ice cream it is." The waffles wouldn't take too long, he'd already made about four, when he heard Becca's voice saying not to make too many as she didn't think they'd be eating them any time too soon. He turned round to see Sophia on Becca's lap. "Well I've made four so far, will I just stop there?" He then turned off the heat and sat down, wondering if Becca just wanted to go back to sleep for a while.
