Hey all. This is my first Heroes story. Recently got into it and just love it. Esp. Nathan and his strangely attractive ways!
I am also fascinated by Nathan's boys and hope they come back in the show soon, along with Heidi. Nathan/Heidi all the way.
Anyway, hope you enjoy my story. Think it's gonna be a one shot at the mo but may be tempted to progress if I get some decent feedback.
Nathan Petrelli never thought he'd be in this position again. He was sharing a room with his wife Heidi and their two boys Simon and Monty and it wasn't strained or awkward in any way. It was perfect. After all that had happened - his drinking, numerous brushes with death, dalliances with other women despite their separation and just general estrangement he assumed that it was irreconcilable. He was very, very glad he was wrong.
"Dad," his youngest son Monty asked. "Will you take me and Simon flying again?"
Nathan smiled and ruffled Monty's brown hair. "Sure thing, kiddo. Though you have to promise not to direct me towards a cloud again, I don't think I was dry for at least a week."
Heidi chuckled and Nathan turned his attention to his stunning wife. After all these years she could still take his breath away and he was so thankful that he had a second chance with her; there was no other woman on the Earth that could come close to her.
"I'll take you flying too if you want honey."
Her smile reached to her beautiful eyes. "I suppose I should give it a go, the boys do rave about it."
Nathan grinned at her and resumed his game of chess with Simon who was the ultimate strategist.
"Nathan!" Came a call from the hallway and they boys instantly shot up, careering into the hallway at breakneck speed to meet their guest.
"Uncle Peter!" the boys chorused, elated to see their favourite Uncle despite his long and unexplained absence.
"Hey guys," said Peter, kneeling down to embrace his nephews. "You been causing your old dad trouble?"
"Hey," Said Nathan. "I am not old."
"Sure," mumbled Peter as Heidi and their sons laughed.
"So Pete, what brings you here?"
"Just wanted to see my dear brother." Replied Peter as he hoisted the boys onto either side of him. "And ask if you and Heidi wanted to come to dinner tomorrow night with me and a friend."
"Friend?" enquired Heidi, eyebrow raised.
Peter flashed a crooked smile to his sister – in –law. "Yeah Heidi, a friend, though I wouldn't be opposed if it turned into something else. So, you willing to come to dinner?"
"Of course Peter. We don't have any plans tomorrow."
"Can we come?" asked Simon.
"I would love that Si, but I think you might steal her away from me. Next time you can definitely come. Abby would love to meet you, she's heard so much about my handsome young nephews.... Just don't be too charming." He added in a whisper causing Simon to laugh and Heidi to beam.
Nathan was smiling as well. It had been too long since his family had been together like this, all he needed was Claire to be there but she was in California with her other family. She made periodic trips to New York to see himself and Peter but Nathan understood that the Bennett's were her family, the ones who had raised her and cared for her throughout the years, and there was nothing he could do to change that. He was just grateful for the visits and the contact he had with her. Recently he and his family had even visited the Bennett home; Noah and Sandra had welcomed them and Sandra fussed over Monty after Mr. Muggles took a shine to him. The dog hated Nathan.
"I'm sure your Grandmother will be happy to see you tomorrow. Do you wanna go make a call to tell her you'll be staying tomorrow?" Nathan asked his sons.
With the energy only youth can bring the two brothers leapt from their uncle's arms and raced to the phone, determined to be the one to tell Angela the happy news of their sleepover tomorrow.
It was now Nathan's turn to grill Peter about this Abby girl but before he could get so much of a sly "So Abby..." out Heidi began asking Peter about his new role in a care home, she knew him so well.
"MOM! DAD!"
Nathan spun, his protective instincts kicking in. "Boys?!" he yelled as he, Heidi and Peter tore into the room, all concerned for their beloved boys.
There stood his sons; they looked intact, as did the area around them except for one thing. The phone was on the other side of the room.
"I don't know how I did it Dad, it just happened," said a very sheepish Simon.
Peter began laughing. "This is gonna be fun."
At that moment Heidi fainted.
