Sometime in the future
Gabriel Gray was in the kitchen of his apartment making waffles. He had just dropped off his son at Day Care and was looking forward to the entire the day. Spending time with Mohinder. The Cheif Medical Advisor to the President of the United States. He barely spent time with Mohinder anymore and their relationship was getting a bit on the rocks and he wanted to make sure the relationship lasted.
Today was going to be a good day, Mohinder was off and he had something planned. It was going to be the prefect day, watching movies and having some fun. Perhaps, not the movie part, but the fun part was always fun. He bit his lower lip as he finished making the waffles. This was the second time this morning that he had made waffles. The first time was for Noah and the second banch was for Mohinder and him.
He placed the stack of waffles on the dinner table and set the table with paper plates along with some syrup, for the waffles. He then looked down at his watch hoping that Mohinder didn't forget the Starbucks. Yes, he had sent his lover to go get Starbucks. It was probably crazy to let a bunch of secret service people follow a scientist into a Starbucks just to grab a cup of coffee, but it didn't matter. Gabe knew that Mohinder would come through with the Starbucks run.

Claire had found out a couple of weeks ago she was pregnant. She was now about four weeks into her pregnancy, and she was radiant and happy. She couldn't believe she and Sam were going to become parents. It hadn't really taken her that long to fall pregnant, and in many ways she was still quite young herself, but she was looking forward to it.
Today, she had decided she was going to visit Gabriel and tell him, he was about to become a great uncle. Not just that he was a great uncle anyway, but that he was going to become an even greater uncle to her baby. So she left her house and took herself off to where Gabriel lived. She hoped he would be in and wouldn't mind her suddenly bursting in on him.
She knocked the door a few times, and then shouted through the letterbox. "Gabriel, it's Claire, you in?" she shouted, she then tried the door handle just in case, but it wasn't opening. So he must have the door locked, she could smell something cooking though, so he was definitely in.

Mohinder was heading up the stairs with the Starbucks that he made. He sighed as Secret Service followed him. Sometimes he hated being the Chief Medical Advisor for the President. “Guys can I please have some privacy?” asked Mohinder is an annoyed voice. He knew the people had to protect him, but sometimes he just wanted privacy.
“No sir, we cannot allow, President Petrelli’s orders” replied a Secret Service agent that was behind him.
The Indian sighed as he walked down the hallway. “I know, I know” He was a few doors down from Gabriel’s and his apartment. He bit saw a blond at the door of their apartment. He wondered who that was. As he got closer, he knew who it was. It was the First Daughter, Claire.
“We got an object in front of Dr. Suresh’s door” the Secret Service Agent yelled as he ran past Mohinder and was about to point a gun in the First Daughter’s face, “I’m terribly sorry, Claire” The Secret Service Agent said as he apologized to the First Daughter.
Mohinder shook his head as he went over towards the door, and smacked the Agent in the back of the head. “Dumbass” He said as he looked over at Claire, “Hello” He said with a warm smile, as he grabbed a key out of his pocket and opened the door to the apartment.
“Hey Honey, I’m home with coffee and Claire is here” He said as he motioned for Claire to go inside. He glanced at the Secret Service Agents, “Just stay out here and do your jobs, no disturbing us” He snapped as he closed the door. “Secret Service Agents, gotta love them” He said sarcastically as he smelt waffles. “Yum, waffles”

Gabriel had heard some voices outside, but ignored it. He had some odd neighbors. Sometimes he wondered if the neighbors were annoyed with them. Since Mohinder had Secret Service monitoring the entire apartment building. Sometimes it could get annoying. He had to admit.
He sighed as he heard a familiar voice and was about to open the door, but was surprised that Claire and Mohinder came in. He smiled and laughed as Mohinder spoke to the Agents. He went up to Mohinder and hugged him. “Of course, I made waffles” He said as he glanced over at Claire as he took the coffee out of Mohinder’s hands.
“Claire!” He explained as he took a sip of coffee. "Pleasant surprise, have you had breakfast?" He asked

Claire was still standing by the door waiting for Gabe to open it, when she heard voices behind her. When she turned round however she was faced with a gun. She stepped back a little and then the person quickly apologised.
"I should think so too" she said, giving them a stern look, but desperately wanting to burst into laughter. She couldn't help but laugh at the way the Secret Service surrounded Mohinder and Nathan, in fact they should be surrounding her too, but Claire refused to have them following her everywhere.
When Mohinder slapped the guy on the back of the head and called him dumbass, Claire did laugh. "Hi Mohinder" Claire said as she followed him into the house when he beckoned on her to do so.
Claire allowed Mohinder and Gabriel to greet themselves before Gabriel said hello to her. "Actually as you ask, I've not had breakfast, and I'd love some" Claire said honestly giving Gabriel a warm smile.
"I actually came with some news I'm hoping you will be pleased to hear" she said, grinning.

Mohinder gave brief nod at Claire as she entered the house. He then greeted his lovely boyfriend. Mohinder smiled as watched as Gabe pulled out the coffee from his hands. He laughed when Claire said that she didn’t have breakfast. The reason he was laughing was because the three of them had a little joke between them.
It was quite a funny joke, but of course it was difficult to explain.
The Indian moved away from Gabe and went over to the table. He then sat another paper plate on the breakfast table and sat down his Starbucks drink. He then went back over to where he had just left Claire and Gabe. He raised an eye brow, wondering why Claire was grinning.
He wondered if it was good news. He decided that perhaps he would not say anything until spoken too.

Gabriel smiled and hugged Claire. “Well, that is good because I made plenty of waffles” He said as he stepped back from hugging her. He then turned and noticed that Mohinder was gone, for a moment. He just blinked a bit before turning his attention back to Claire.
“So some news?” He asked in a curious tone. He began to wonder what Claire’s news was. He was then distracted by the doorknob turning. He shook his head. “Everyday…” He muttered as he flipped up his hand locked the three dead bolts on the door. “They are so going to get pissed at me”
He said with a slight chuckle as he turned back his attention to Claire. “What is the great news Claire?” He asked as he took a sip of his coffee.

Claire noticed Mohinder wasn't really talking much, but she did notice he had laughed at the breakfast thing. Of course Claire wanted to laugh at it herself, but she decided against it, thinking the joke might wear thin if she laughed about it too much. Yes their own little private joke about breakfast. Eggs in particular, Claire thought grinning, no, she wasn't going to laugh.
Claire hugged Gabriel back. She was glad he had came round to being good again. She knew he had it in there within him to be a good person and she wasn't wrong. He then asked what her good news was, and Claire continued to grin again. She realised she hadn't exactly brought Mohinder into the conversation and it seemed a little unfair.
"Well actually it probably concerns both of you really, what with you being in a relationship" Claire said and still grinning, finding it extremely difficult to actually do anything else while she thought about her news.
She laughed at the doorknob thing. "What's going on with that?" she asked him raising her eyebrow slightly but soon quickly returning to the subject at hand, since Gabriel had once again asked what her great new was.
Looking from Gabriel to Mohinder, she smiled, placing her hand instinctively across her stomach, "You're both going to be uncles" she said, "Well, great uncle in your case Gabriel, since you're actually mine even if we don't use the word 'uncle' " she said laughing using her fingers when she said the word uncle. Then she looked at the both of them, eyes darting from one to the other to see how they'd react to her news.

Mohinder wasn’t really talking much because he decided to let the two relatives chat. It was best for him to sit back and not talk until spoken too. He just focused his attention on Gabe and just paid little attention to the conversation at hand. He was never one to be involved in a conversation that didn’t involve him.
Perhaps it was best.
He then raised an eyebrow when Claire finally directed the conversation to him. “Relationships?” He asked a bit confused. He just gave her an odd look. He never gave odd looks, but he wondered what she meant. He decided that he would probably found out soon enough.
He laughed at Gabe as he used his powers to lock the dead bolt door. He sighed, “Sometimes, I wish on days off that they wouldn’t follow” He said as he referred to the Secret Service Agents again. “Maybe, I should get you involved in the Secret Service, Gabe you can be my body guard” He said with a slight laugh.
“Oh baby” Mohinder said finally getting the relationship thing. “Congrates” Mohinder said with a smile.

Gabe looked at Claire and then at Mohinder. He noticed that Mohinder was asking a bit confused when she mentioned relationships. He was going to ask her what she meant, but perhaps he would find out soon enough. Claire always explain herself and it really wasn’t bad to be confused…with Claire.
He grinned at Mohinder, “Too right you are, but I don’t need to be in the Secret Service, knowing me we would make out randomly while you are on National Television and that wouldn’t fit well with the American public” He said shaking his head. As he focused his attention back on Claire.
“You’re pregnant, congratulations, Claire!” Gabriel said with a smile. He grabbed Mohinder and pulled Claire close to them for a hug. “That is very good news!”

Claire wondered why Mohinder had questioned her word of him and Gabriel being in a relationship, wasn't that what it was called when a couple were together, they were in a relationship, maybe she should have put relationship together, but oh well, too late now. When she explained the rest of it, he'd hopefully get it then.
"Oh, so they come and try and get into the house by turning on the doorknob?" Claire asked when Mohinder spoke of the Secret Service.
"You know Mohinder, you should tell them you're capable of looking after yourself, I don't have them following me around like I'm a lost puppy" Claire said frowning and smiling at the same time. She knew she should have them, Nathan had almost demanded it, but she told him she needed freedom, that it was horrible if you were in a public place and you wanted to go to the ladies and had four guys following you, it was ridiculous.
"Gabriel as a Secret Service Agent?" Claire asked bemused, "I can see how that would work, just a flick of your wrist would stop someone going anywhere near Mohinder" Claire said and laughed.
"That's right Mohinder, I'm having a baby, and thank you for the congrats" Claire said before Gabriel showed his happiness at the news also and pulled her and Mohinder into a hug.
"Thanks Gabriel" Claire managed to say while in the hug. "I gather you're happy at my news then?" she asked laughing slightly. "And yes it is very good news for me" she wondered what kind of ability their baby would have though. Both she and Sam had Rapid Cellular Regeneration, would the baby have the same, or a totally different ability altogether.
"I did have something else I wanted to say though, well more of ask a question" Claire added with a grin, as she allowed herself to enjoy the hug.

“Yes, even when I tell them I want privacy” Mohinder said shaking his head as he glanced at Gabe and then back at Claire. “Perhaps I will tell them of that” He said with a smile. It was true, maybe perhaps it was time to tell them, they needed to go protect someone else other than a scientist.
Mohinder nodded, “Yeah, a flick of the wrist and some other powers” He said shaking his head, “How many powers do you have? And we wouldn’t want that one power that blew up Costa Verde, you know, I’m still trying to cover that up little accident of yours, the American public thinks that nuclear plant did it” He added shaking his head again.
“And no problem, Claire” Mohinder said as he gave a slight nod when she expressed thanks for him for congratulating her on her newest addition to her family. He had a feeling that Sam and she would be great parents to the baby.
He then was kind of surprised that Gabriel was embracing everyone in a hug. He didn’t say anything. He decided that he would just go with the hug.

“I can always tell them, for you, you know I scare them” Gabriel said with a grin. He loved scaring the Secret Service Agents. They always had asked for it. Of course, they loved to toy with him also, so it was just a joke between him and the agents.
Gabriel shrugged his shoulders back when Mohinder asked him how many powers he had. He had a lot. He couldn’t keep track of them all. “Um…16?” He said confusingly. “Okay, let’s do the math: Intuitive Aptitude, Telekinesis, Freezing, Telepathy, Precognition, Melting, RCR, Sound manipulation, Phasing, Illusion, Induced Radiation, Space-Time Manipulation, Electrokinesis, and Invisibility.” He had two other abilties, that he wasn't going to tell them. It was Mental Manipulation and Heredity Mimicry.
“Of course, I’m happy for you, Noah can have some cousins to play with” He said with a grin. He grasped the both of them into a hug and looked at them. He then looked at Claire, “So what is up?” He asked in a curious tone as he bit his lower lip and moved away from the group of hug.
No…not now He thought to himself as he his hands started to shake. He closed his eyes. The hunger was getting stronger…he didn’t want them to see his eyes changing color.

"Well you will not know until you ask" Claire said grinning. "Yes, sure I should have them following me around like I was some lost puppy, dad was quite demanding of it, but I just refused, so I'm sure if you just tell them you don't need them, they'll soon leave you alone" Claire explained. After all if there should be anybody they were more keen to protect if should have been Claire after Nathan. The whole thing was ridiculous in Claire's eyes. She could understand them following her dad everywhere, the President needed protecting, but why did she need it? Why did Mohinder. She shook her head.
"I'm sure one word from you would definitely do the trick" Claire said, laughing at Gabriel when he spoke of scaring them away. Most people were scared of Gabriel, because of his powers and because of what he did in the past.
"Ah, blowing up Costa Verde, I know I don't like Mr Muggles Gabriel, but couldn't you have just blown up the dog instead of the whole damned town?" Claire asked with a laugh. "How's that going anyway Mohinder? The whole covering up?" she asked looking to Mohinder, she was doing her best to include Mohinder in their conversations, so he wouldn't feel left out.
"That sure is some amount of powers you have there Gabriel" Claire said quite shocked, but laughing at the same time. Had he really killed that many people? Apart from when he got RCR from her of course, it was quite scary to think about it.
"That would be awesome for Noah to have cousins to play with, of course" Claire said softly. Noah was actually Claire's cousin, but because he was so young, Claire thought of herself as an aunt to him instead. Of course Gabriel pulled out of the hug when she said she had a question to ask of him.
"I would like to ask you to be one of the Godfathers to the baby" Claire said with a warm smile. She wouldn't have dreamed of asking him this a few months ago, but she felt she could trust him now, especially when they got on so well and he had a child of his own. Of course she had every intention of asking Henry the same question, she just hadn't been in touch with him much recently, but she would.

“I shall reflect on this” He said as he nodded in agreement Claire. He had the right to have a private life. He should had just didn’t ask for a group of agents. Perhaps he should have just let himself do the guarding. He had abilities and his abilities were clearly controllable.
Mohinder folded his arms. “It is going certainly well, Nathan and I have to address congress tomorrow on the issue. However, they are aware of the real situation. We just haven’t told them that my boyfriend here and the President’s brother accidently did it” He said with a laugh, “Yes, and you should have blown up the dog, not the entire town, thank god Claire’s other family wasn’t in Costa Verde at the time” He mentioned shaking his head.
Something wasn’t right. Mohinder looked at Gabriel, something didn’t feel right. It was like he was hiding something from him. He sighed, “That is a lot of powers, but those are only from when you were doing bad things and you’re not anymore” He said with a smile.
He then watched as Gabe closed his eyes and stepped back from the hug. Something was not right. “Gabriel are you okay?”
