Once again I DO NOT OWN HEROES! As if I'm smart enough to create such a good show. But still, for all those reading and for those who reviewed, thanks and here is chapter 2. Enjoy.
Once they were in the car, Elle looked over at Claire and smiled "So Claire How's college life" she asked as she started the car. Claire shrugged "it's alright I guess, my old roommate killed herself though, that was kind of creepy" she said looking out the window. She glanced over at Elle "What about you…where have you been hiding" she asked still shocked that Elle was alive. The electric blonde smiled slightly "Different hotels…whatever was cheap" she said as she drove "I still had access to some of my father's money so…I used it" she said looking at Claire. The younger girl nodded "why didn't you come to me before I could have helped you" she said softly. Elle smiled "We didn't exactly end on good terms last time I saw you" she said stopping at a red light, "Besides, didn't wanna bother you". Claire shook her head `You wouldn't have been a bother" she said smiling "I would have been happy to help". Elle smiled "Well thank you Claire, that's good to know" she said looking at her.
Claire nodded "Anytime Babe" she said giving Elle's thigh a gentle squeeze. Elle gasped "So...um, where to first shopping or doctor's" she said swallowing. Claire smirked "it's up to you" she said putting her hand back in her lap. Elle sighed "Uh, how about doctor, I wanna check on everything. Make sure nothing's wrong" she said looking at Claire. "Alright…take a left at Walton" Claire said nodding. Elle smiled turning "This place isn't like…expensive is it" she asked as they drove along. Claire shook her head "Nah, the girl who you're gonna see wont charge ya. I've known her for like three years" she said smiling at Elle. Elle nodded "alright cool…so where is it" she asked glancing at the younger girl. Claire smiled "It's the big brown building on your left" she said as they approached the clinic.
Elle turned into the parking lot and parked. She took a deep breath closing her eyes, Claire looked over taking Elle's hand giving it a squeeze "It's alright Elle, I'm here with you" she said smiling. Elle looked at Claire giving her a small smile "Thanks, guess I'm just a little nervous" she said sighing. Claire nodded "Understandable, don't be nervous though, you got me, and I'm not going anywhere" she said kissing Elle's hand. The ex-company girl leaned over planting a soft kiss on Claire's lips "I trust you…in fact you're pretty much the only one I do trust" she said smiling. Claire returned the kiss "And I trust you, come on lets go get you checked out" she said getting out of the car and opening the door for Elle.
They walked inside and up to the check in desk "Hi this is Elle Bishop, she needs to see a doctor" Claire said to the girl sitting there. The girl nodded handing Elle a clipboard "Fill this out and wait for your name to be called" she said yawning. Elle thanked her and took the clipboard walking with Claire and sitting down. She filled out the papers and leaned her head back against the wall, "Do you think it's safe to be here" she asked looking at Claire. Claire took Elle's hand squeezing it "It's safe…trust me ok" she said kissing Elle's hand. The ex-sociopath smiled nodding "I trust you…" she said. A nurse came out and called Elle's name, "Come with me" Elle said looking at Claire her face slightly pale.
Claire nodded standing up "Ok…come on" she said pulling Elle up. They followed the nurse into the room. "Just put this gown on and Emmalee will be in soon" the nurse said handing Elle a pink hospital gown. Elle took it thanking her before looking at Claire, "this thing is hideous" she said holding out the gown. Claire laughed "Its fine Elle, just put it on" she said smirking then turning around to give Elle some sort of privacy. Elle stripped her clothes then pulled on the gown "well it itches" she said frowning. Claire turned back around shaking her head "Deal with it Ms. Bishop" she said walking over wrapping her arms around the taller blonde. Elle frowned "Fine I'll deal with it Ms. Bennet, but only because you're so damn cute" she said kissing Claire softly.
The doctor knocked and slowly opened the door "Hi I'm Emmalee you must be Elle" she said offering her hand to Elle. The ex-sociopath nodded "Yeah…I'm Elle, nice to meet you" she said shaking her hand. Emmalee smiled "Well any friend of Claire's is a friend of mine" she said smiling at Claire, she looked back to Elle "So, let's get that baby looked at" she said motioning towards the exam table. Elle took a deep breath and lay down, "I…I'm not exactly sure how far along I am…" She said looking at Emmalee. Claire sat down next to Elle grabbing her hand giving it a reassuring squeeze, "Well we're figure it out just relax ok" Emmalee said turning on the sonogram machine. "This is going to be warm" she said squeezing gel onto Elle's stomach. Elle gasped laughing softly "Whoa that feels weird" she said breathing deeply.
Emmalee smiled as she started Elle's ultrasound, "Well, it looks to me like you're about seventeen weeks" she said smiling at Elle. Elle looked at the ceiling "really, I don't look it" she said looking at Emmalee. "Well not all women show at the same time as others and you're small so it's fine" Emmalee said smiling. Elle nodded closing her eyes "I…Is it healthy" she asked biting her lip. Emmalee nodded "yeah it looks to be a perfectly healthy baby, small but healthy, would you like to hear the heartbeat" she asked looking at Elle. The electric blonde swallowed "I…I dunno I mean…" she looked at Claire who gave her a smile; "Alright…yeah…" she answered looking to Emmalee.
"Ok here you go mommy" Emmalee said turning the screen towards Elle turning on the volume. Elle looked at the screen and laughed softly "Oh my god…l...look at it...it's so tiny" she said smiling. Claire stared at the screen, she had never seen anything like this, "It's beautiful Elle" she whispered kissing Elle's hand. Elle couldn't take her eyes off the screen, she had expected to see something dark, something evil but…this baby…it wasn't anything evil. "Y…yeah it really is…it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen" she said looking at Claire. Emmalee smiled, "Want me to make you guys some pictures" she asked looking from Elle to Claire. Elle nodded "Yes please…I'd really appreciate it" she said squeezing Claire's hand. Elle looked over at Claire, "I can't believe it…look at it…It…it wasn't really real before…but now…" she looked back at the screen "That's my baby…" she said smiling. Claire leaned over kissing Elle gently "yeah it is…it's beautiful" she said looking at the tiny moving blob on the screen.
Emmalee came back in and handed a folder to Claire "Here's some pictures…I'll prescribe you some prenatal vitamins and you will be all set" she said smiling at Elle. "Ok thank you so so much..." Elle said standing up. Emmalee nodded "you're very welcome I want to see you back here in two weeks for a follow up ok" she said smiling. Elle smiled nodding "Alright I'll see you then" she said taking the pictures and the prescription. Claire took Elle's hand as they walked out, they got in the car and Elle set the pictures on the dashboard. "So um…I'm kinda hungry, wanna go somewhere to eat" the electric blonde asked looking at Claire. The younger girl smiled nodding "Yeah, I could go for a bite" she said buckling up. Elle started the car and pulled out of the parking lot "So, where's a good place to eat out here" she asked glancing over at the ex-cheerleader.
Claire shrugged "I dunno it all depends on what you're in the mood for" she said smiling at Elle. The older girl thought for a moment "How about Chinese" she said as she spotted a Chinese buffet. Claire smiled "Chinese sounds great, and from what I hear this place is really good" she said reaching over resting her hand on Elle's leg. The electric blonde grinned parking the car; she got out of the car running to the passenger side opening the door for Claire. Claire smiled "why thank you beautiful" she said getting out. Elle stared at Claire for a minute before gently pressing her against the car kissing her, "Claire…I wanna thank you..." she said softly, her eyes looking into Claire's. "For what" the ex-cheerleader asked looking at her. Elle smiled, "For everything you've done…you have always believed in me" she said blushing slightly at the realization she was practically squishing Claire against the car.
Claire smiled softly kissing Elle "Don't mention it sparky, come on lets go eat" she said taking Elle's hand leading her inside. They found a booth in the corner of the room and sat down, "so what are you gonna get" Claire asked the older blonde picking up her menu. Elle's eyes scanned the choice for a minute, "I think I'm gonna go with chow Mein and orange chicken" she said peering over the top of her menu at Claire. A waitress came up smiling "Hello, what can I get you ladies" she asked. Elle frowned "I don't think we're ready yet…are we" she asked looking at Claire. The younger woman smiled "yeah we are, tow chow Mein and orange chicken meals please" she said not taking her eyes off Elle.
The waitress nodded "alright and to drink" she asked chewing on her pen. "Water for me please" Elle said smiling, "same" Claire replied. The waitress took their menus and walked off leaving the two blondes alone. Claire reached over taking Elle's hand from across the table "I really am happy to see you again Elle, I missed you so much" she said blushing. The electric blonde smiled leaning over the table her face inches from Claire's "Awe you're so sweet…I missed you too…way too much" she whispered before kissing her. Claire smiled into the kiss, resting her hand on the back of Elle's head pulling her into a deeper kiss. A voice broke them apart causing both women to freeze, "Oh my god…Claire?" the voice stated. Claire looked behind Elle to see Sandra sitting with Lyle, who was laughing. *Oh god. I'm going to die* Claire thought, her heart stopping.
