Ch. 7 Back to Soon
Elle and Erin patch up after their fight but I could tell Elle still disapproved of what to Erin was doing. Erin would not budge either. What was worse still was Jake was avoiding me like the plague at work. Two days after Arnold died, he was laid to rest. It was a small funeral. I guess it wasn't surprising with how many enemies he had made in his long lifetime. Gabby still hadn't been able to cry. Maybe she wasn't all that torn up about Arnold. Gabby didn't want those concern looks from Gabriel. Two weeks after my father died, I got a call from Erin.
"Hey Erin, what's up" I asked. She didn't usually call me at work.
"Peter is coming home this weekend" She said. Did this mean she told him?
"And" I said wanting her to continue.
"Please don't mention the baby" She begged.
"Why are you so determined to keep this a secret? Why not just tell him?" I asked.
"Because he would come home" Erin said.
"Why not tell him but tell him you want to him to continue with school" I asked. I felt like I was interrogating her on a crime.
"I want him to want to come home, not because I'm pregnant with his child" Erin said.
"You know he loves you, why wouldn't want to be home with you" I said.
"Why did he leave then?" Erin asked.
"You told him to and you refused to move. He wanted you to go with him" I said. If this didn't get through her thick head, I don't know what would.
Work was getting stressful for Gabriel. For two weeks straight he was sent on missions. He also had to deal with the trial. He told me that he talked to Jake, but wasn't going to tell me what they talked about. Jake still wasn't talking to me which upset me. I found out that he found out through the company that his father died. I felt so guilty. If he yelled at me I would car, as long as he did something.
"Gabriel come to bed" I said.
"I have to get this work done" Sylar said.
"You look like you about to pass out" I said worriedly. He had bags under his eyes and the kitchen smelt like coffee.
"Did you know that Thomas killed his own child and his wife" Gabriel said.
"I didn't know that" I said uncomfortably.
"He didn't even know he did until he woke up and realized he had blood on his shirt" Gabriel said.
"That's awful" I said. I pitied the man's' situation.
"I still have piles of work to do" Gabriel sighed.
"Why don't you get some sleep?" I asked.
"Your right" He sighed. It wasn't long after we went to bed when I was awoken by Gabriel. He was thrashing around.
"Gabe, wake up" I said shaking him.
"No stop" Gabriel said waking up with started.
"It was only a dream, honey" I said.
"It was a horrible dream" Gabriel said shaking.
"What was it about" I asked pulling his hair from his eyes.
"I went after you, Noah, and Micah. I didn't want to but I couldn't stop myself" He said.
"I was just a dream" I stated.
"I can't do the Thomas case anymore" Gabriel said.
"Why don't you talk to Frank tomorrow about being reassigned" I said.
"I would like that" Gabriel said shaking his head. He got up.
"Where you going" I asked.
"I'm going to check on the boys" He said. I laid there. Hopefully his quitting the case would make him feel better.
Gabriel was reassigned the next morning and he did seem to be better after that. The added bonus was that he was home a lot more. He seemed a lot less stress. Erin was not doing so well. She lost her job because she missed worked. She also had really bad morning sickness. Elle and I had to go over and helped her clean up the house.
"Have you talked to Peter" Elle asked.
"He's coming home this weekend" Erin said quietly rubbing her stomach. She had a bit of a stomach but not much. It only looked like she just gained a couple pounds.
"Are you excited" I asked.
"I am." She smiled. I could tell she missed him. Peter was more than just her husband, he was her best friend.
"Are going to finally tell him about the baby" Elle said. Erin shrugged.
"It's no good" I whispered to Elle.
"Please don't say anything guys" Erin asked.
"Of course we won't" I said though if truth be told I wanted to tell my oldest and dearest friend his wife was pregnant
Peter homecoming was a welcomed one. I went with Erin to get him at the airport. He had grown a small beard and looked tanner than normal. He was a little shocked to see Erin so happy to see him. He pointed out that something was different about Erin. Erin said that it was probably the fact that they haven't seen each other she looked different. Peter didn't say anything else. He and Erin were inseparable the whole weekend. He final left on Sunday. Gabriel seemed to be very concerned about Erin. Image my surprise when Erin came in an hour after Gabriel came to visit her.
"Erin what are you doing here" I said kindly.
"Gabriel" She explained.
"I would feel a whole lot better if she can stay with us" Gabriel said.
"Gabriel said I better get in this taxi or he'll bring me himself" Erin said. I smiled.
"We have an extra room" I said.
"You guys don't have to do this" Erin said.
"Oh hush you" Gabriel said sternly.
"Are you hungry Erin" I asked.
"A little" She responded.
"I'll make you something to eat" I told her.
"Thanks Gabs" She said.
"You more than welcome" I smiled. If she wasn't going to let Peter be here, than at least I can step in and help her.
Next Chapter: Gabby finally talks to Jake. Gabby deals with her feelings on her father's passing. Jade is not so keen on Jake's new girlfriend. Erin spends the day babysitting and realizes it's harder then she thought. Elle gets a new job at the company.
