After Alice and Tanya left the fair, I wanted to see if there were any rides that I could actually go on before I had my long talk with Claire. It turned out that the one ride that I could go on was the merry-go-round. It was this spinning thing where you sit on fake animals. I got to sit on a lion. I guess you could say that it was fun but I really would have liked to ride a rollercoaster. Damn it why did Gabriel have to impregnate me before he went on a murderous rampage? This was so inconvenient.

"We need to go somewhere private." I informed Claire.

"Your house or mine?" Claire asked. I actually wasn't even considering house but yeah that sounded like a good idea.

"Mine, I'm pretty sure that Uncle Charlie won't be home." I answered. "Even though he actually knows everything about me, I don't think he needs to know your secrets."

Claire nodded and she headed out to drive me home. She parked her car in her driveway before she walked over to my house. I wondered what exactly I was going to say here. Maybe I should find out what she knew first.

"So I don't know where to start." I remarked.

"Well you can start with the part where you tell me about growing up in a mental institution." Claire suggested.

"Yeah about that…" I started. "Let's see, do you know about The Company?"

"Yeah they're the reason that my family moved out here." Claire explained.

"Well then I wasn't in a mental institution." I replied. "I was in a company facility. My daddy kept me there from when I was 8 years old to not long before I moved here. I really hated it and he wouldn't let me leave."

"What did he do to you there?" Claire asked curiously

"Well he liked to see how much power I could produce…even if it meant overloading me." I explained.

"That sounds terrible." Claire commented. Oh yes it was.

"So when did you discover your power?" I asked.

"It was about six months ago." Claire responded. "It gradually improved over time and now I can even come back from the dead if something managed to kill me."

"Wait a minute, you were the girl who could heal that my daddy was talking about." I said, having a revelation. "He said you were supposed to join me at the facility."

"My dad told me that apparently the company wanted me for a long time." She replied. "Apparently I was supposed to go there as soon as my powers revealed themselves but my dad kept me hidden and that's why we're on the run from them."

"Forks is a pretty good place to hide out." I remarked. "Only I don't really like the rain."

"Why exactly did your dad send you here?" Claire asked. "What did you do to make him send you to the middle of nowhere like this town is?"

"I was actually on a mission…with your father as a matter of fact." I told her. "Anyway my job was to seduce and monitor someone and I ended up having sex with him."

"Is that the guy?" She questioned. She didn't complete her sentence but I nodded.

"Yes it was him before he went on a cross-country rampage killing people with abilities." I explained.

"You slept with Sylar?" Claire asked in shock.

"His name was Gabriel when I knew him." I told her. "I just did what I thought my mission was. No one told me that I wasn't supposed to have sex with him."

"Would you be offended if I asked how you knew about sex?" Claire asked me.

"I learned it mostly from TV and the internet." I explained. "Isn't that the way that most teenagers learn about it?"

"I think that might actually be true." Claire said. "But I guess you didn't have 'the talk'."

"What's the talk?" I asked as I decided to take seat, noticing that we had been standing the past few minutes.

"It basically involves uncomfortable parents as they try to explain sex to us even though we pretty much know the stuff that they're saying." Claire answered. "They're also trying to assume that everyone has sex with the opposite sex."

"Yeah it was better with Alice." I responded. "You said that you were waiting for the one. Do you think that's me?"

"I don't know." Claire answered truthfully "to me the one is the person that will always be with you. She's the person that is meant exclusively for me and will stand by me no matter what happens."

"To tell the truth, I don't really want to have sex with you either." I admitted. "It's mainly because I have this big bulging belly that would cause a lot of problems. I can't have sex with anyone until I have this thing."

"Just how pregnant are you exactly?" Claire asked.

"I'm 5 months." I explained.

"I need to go home." Claire announced. "We don't really need to rush thing anyway."

"Okay." I agreed as Claire brushed one of my bangs out of the way. "What are you doing?"

"Giving you a kiss goodnight." Claire responded before she pulled me into one. Her lips were so soft and it was better than the one underneath the rollercoaster. It didn't last long but it was great. "See you tomorrow."

Not soon after Claire walked out of the house, Uncle Charlie walked in. I was glad that he didn't see our kiss no matter how PG it was.

"So what did you do tonight?" He asked me since I didn't seem to greet him.

"I went to the fair with Claire." I answered. I decided to leave the part where I went with Alice and Tanya out because I felt like he didn't need to do that.

"You sure are moving on pretty quickly." He commented. "Are you sure that you're not moving too fast?"

"No we've not moving too fast." I responded. "You know what, it's late. I'm gonna go to bed."

I headed upstairs and went off to bed.

The next morning was a little bit weird. It turned out that I couldn't hang out with Claire because her family went to church. I didn't know that people still did that in real life. I thought they only did that on TV. So I had to figure out something else to do until she came back. I wasn't really a fan of the whole being alone thing. And to make matters worse, I didn't have a car.

I turned on the TV to see if there was anything that I could watch. I decided to check out that football thing that I heard about. I looked over at the TV and realized that I had no idea what was going on. They were throwing the ball and moving one direction then the guy throwing the ball fell over and the ball went the other way. Then of the other guys ran the other way before stopping and doing some sort of dance. Why did that guy suddenly stop to dance? This was one weird sport. I decided to turn it off and look for something else to do.

I got up and decided to take a shower. I should probably do that before hanging out with Claire. I took my bodywash and began to scrub my body. Going over my baby bump was always hard.

When I walked back into my room, there was a definite surprise waiting for me on my bed. No it wasn't Alice…or Claire. It was the necklace that Alice tried to give me on my birthday. There was also a note attached which I took time to read.

Elle

I really want you to have this necklace, even if only as a keepsake of the time that we shared together. You don't have to wear it if you don't want to but just keep it somewhere safe. It would mean a lot to me.

Love you always

Alice

Okay I have to admit that that was sweet. I do wonder what made her decide to give it to me now but I decided to put it on once I was finished dressing. I looked around to see Alice was still near and found out that she wasn't. She must have come in and left while I was in the shower.

I was relieved when I found that Claire was home after my shower. Surely she could bring any end to my boredom. I wanted to rush over to her house but figured I should do the more mature thing and called her. I was a little anxious when she answered the phone.

"Hi." She answered. She seemed to have programmed my name into her phone by now. She had plenty of reason to considering that we had spent the majority of the past two days together. "How are you?"

"I'm reallllllllllllllllllllly bored." I responded. "I really wanna see you. I tried watching that football thing and I didn't understand it. This guy randomly stopped running and started to dance."

"I'm come over soon." Claire replied. "May I could even explain to you how the game works. That's part of what I do is cheer for football."

"I guess we can do that." I agreed. "Though, I definitely wouldn't mind doing some making out."

"I am not sure if we should do that yet." Claire countered. "Part of taking things slow is waiting before doing things like making out."

"That doesn't sound fun." I remarked.

"Maybe not but it will make everything all the more worth it when we get to it." Claire told me. "I'll be over in a few."

I waited a few minutes for her to arrive and gave her a hug when she did. I had a huge smile on my face when she walked in.

"I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you're happy to see me." Claire joked which caused me to giggle. We took a seat on the couch and Claire turned the TV back on. "Okay so you that guy with the ball, he's the quarterback. His job is to throw the ball to his receivers and the receivers jobs is to make into the endzone which is called a touchdown."

"But I saw the ball go backwards and of the guys from the other team picked it up and ran before stopping and dancing." I interjected.

"That was a fumble and the defense returned it to the other endzone for a touchdown of their own. That's why he started to dance." Claire explained as I watched the quarterback give the ball to another standing next to him. Only that guy didn't throw the ball, he ran with it.

"What just happened?" I asked.

"That guy is the running back." Claire said. "He can take the ball from the quarterback and run towards the endzone."

So Claire went over several things as they happened. Uncle Charlie ended up coming home during the game.

"I didn't expect you two to be watching football." He remarked.

"Claire was explaining to me how the game works." I answered. "I think I'm starting to get it."

"You must know a lot about football." Uncle Charlie commented towards Claire as he grabbed a beer from the fridge.

"It's part of my job description." Claire responded. He stared at her. "I'm a cheerleader."

Uncle Charlie took a seat on the couch and I decided to get up.

"Oh I have something for you." Claire told me as she went over to her purse. She reached inside and pulled out an envelope. Inside was a Wal-Mart gift card for $100.

"What's this for?" I asked.

"You birthday was a few days ago, wasn't it?" She asked as I nodded. "Well I thought that I should get you something, even if it is late. Especially considering that you told me your birthday was lousy."

"Thank you." I replied giving her a hug.

"So when are you gonna start getting things for the baby?" Claire asked.

"I don't know." I answered. "When do you think I should?"

"You should probably get a few things now, and gradually build up as you become more pregnant." Claire suggested. "That's what I would do anyway. But maybe you should use some of that gift card to get some stuff for the baby."

"I guess I could do that even though I have no idea what babies like." I said. "What should I get?"

"Well you're going to need a crib definitely." Claire said. "Clothes and diapers can probably wait."

A few weeks later, I decided to take Claire out to the meadow. It really wasn't much of a meadow right now since it was covered with snow. It was the first time that either of us had seen snow. We were all dressed up in warm clothes which happened to make Claire look adorable. I was kind of afraid to kiss because I didn't want to get out mouths stuck to each other. I think that can happen when it's really cold.

"Is it just me or snow really beautiful?" Claire asked.

"It does look pretty nice." I agreed. "It's so white."

Because of the white snow, it was pretty easy to see what the figure that was standing in the snow across from us.

"Hello, Elle Bishop." He said.

"Do you know this guy?" Claire asked before a look of terror washed over her face. "Is she a company agent?"

"No I am not a company agent." Laurent replied. "I am here on a mission from Victoria."

"What does she want?" I asked. I thought we done with these guys when I killed that other vampire whore.

"Basically she knew that you were not alone and sent me to kill your companion." He explained. "She has already killed your father and hopes to later have the pleasure of killing you."

"What?" Claire asked. She didn't have much time to react before Laurent rushed over and bit into her neck. I tried to shock him but the leather that he was wearing seemed to absorb the electricity.

Suddenly a figure came and ripped his arm off and then slowly dismembered him piece by piece. It was really freaky. Then I realized it was Alice. I didn't have much time to look at her because Claire started to scream in pain.

"What's happening?" I asked.

"She's changing." Alice explained.

So not much Alice in this chapter. I do think that it's good that she gave Elle the necklace even though they're not still together. And Elle and Claire are taking things slow which might improve Alice's chances. Anyway what's going to happen to Claire? You need to review to find out.
