CHAPTER 8! I'm really starting to like this story I am DEFINITELY continuing…So, here it is! Chapter 8 And…as always just because I HAVE to say it…HEROES DOES NOT BELONG TO ME!

Claire smiled pulling Elle into a soft kiss "Our lives will be amazing, trust me love" she said happily. Elle grinned "I know babe, and this will be the first time ever that my life will actually be happy, I get to be with you, and Noah, and decorate a house" she said excitedly. The shorter woman shook her head "You are adorable, you know that babe" she said kissing Elle. "I know" Elle replied with a smirk, receiving a smack on the arm from Claire. The two stood on the porch, enjoying the feel of their new home, "I love you Elle" Claire said softly. Elle looked at the younger woman and smiled "I love you too Claire, more than you will ever know" she said kissing her deeply. Claire sighed happily, wrapping her arms around the taller woman and smiling "Oh I think I know how much you love me, probably as much as I love you". Just then, Claire's phone went off, she growled softly and pulled it from her pocket picking it up "Hi dad" she said holding her finger to her lips looking at Elle "Yeah, I still plan on coming by, is it alright if I bring someone along….great..We'll be there in an hour…love you too dad….bye" she said hanging up.

Elle chewed on her bottom lip "Claire…I…I dunno about going to your dad's…I...it may not be such a good idea" she said nervously. Claire sighed, walking over to Elle and taking her hands into her own "I swear to you, everything will be ok, he will accept you, and us…or it will be the biggest mistake of his life if he doesn't" she said kissing the taller woman's hands "I will not let him do or say anything that is negative towards you in anyway". Elle nodded letting out the breath she hadn't known she was holding "I trust you, I guess I still just feel uneasy around him" she said softly. Claire moved a strand of hair behind Elle's ear and smiled "I know babe, but don't you worry, I'm going to be right there the entire time" she said kissing her. Elle grinned as the younger woman pulled away "Oh no, not yet" she said pulling her back into a deep kiss "mmm…there, much better" she said smiling. Claire laughed "Definitely better" she said smirking. She looked at her phone and sighed "Well, come on, we better get going to see the big bad wolf" she said closing and locking the front door. Elle pulled the car keys from her purse and handed them to Claire "Mind driving, I don't know the way there and to be honest, I'm too nervous to drive" she said biting her lip.

The younger woman nodded taking the keys, "Of course, you just sit and relax" she said taking Elle's hand and walking to the car "And don't you stress, gotta keep you and that sweet little boy healthy" she said opening the door for Elle. The ex-company girl smiled climbing into the passenger seat "No stress got it" she said grinning and pulling the belt over her. Claire smiled and got into the driver seat, pulling away from the house "How are you feeling by the way" she asked looking over at Elle. The older woman smiled resting her hand on her stomach "Feeling great actually, I think he's sleeping" she said with a small laugh. Claire grinned "Good, at least he is behaving and not moving around like crazy" she said happily. Elle nodded looking out the window "Oh give him time, he will be soon enough, he'll get bigger then be using my womb as a party central" she said laughing. Claire smirked pulling off the main road "That's true, won't be much longer…what about two months" she asked looking over at the older woman. Elle nodded "I'm thinking more like next month, I'll be five months then, probably be able to feel him moving more soon" she said smiling. Claire pulled into the parking lot of her father's apartments and turned off the car "Well I can't wait, I may just never let my hands leave your stomach" she said leaning over and kissing Elle. The taller blonde smiled "You'll eventually have to let your hands leave my stomach" she said smirking. Claire blushed getting out of the car "As much as I love you and completely agree with that statement…no talking like that around my dad, ok" she said opening the door for Elle.

Claire locked the car and smiled "Well, you ready" she asked looking at the older woman. Elle sighed, grabbing Claire's hand "As ready as I will ever be" she said nodding. The two women walked up to Noah's apartment, the entire time Elle never letting go of Claire's hand. Once they reached his door, Claire turned to Elle kissing her "Don't worry, it'll be ok" she said knocking. The door opened and Noah Bennet smiled, hugging his daughter "Glad to see you Claire-Bear" he said with a grin, completely oblivious to the very nervous ex company agent standing behind his daughter. Claire smiled "Glad to see you dad" she said softly. Noah pulled back from the hug, only to come face to face with Elle. His face shadowed over and he frowned "Claire..." he said coldly, not removing his gaze from the electric blonde. Claire looked at Elle and then at her dad, putting her hand on his arm "its ok dad…let's just go inside and talk" she said softly. Noah laughed "Talk….talk about what, why it is that a woman who is supposed to be dead is standing outside my door…she brings nothing but trouble Claire" he said glaring at the ex-company girl. Elle looked at her hands chewing on her lip, she didn't know what to do, part of her said to run but another part told her that she was safe with Claire. "Dad will you please…for once just trust me, she's not here to cause problems.." she said glancing at the taller blonde "In fact…she's here with me" she said taking Elle's hand into her own.

Noah looked from his daughter to his ex-partner "With you" he asked frowning "Like with you". Claire nodded "Yes…dad…just please, let us come in and we'll talk…all three of us" she said squeezing Elle's hand. Noah sighed opening his door more "Alright, inside both of you" he said moving aside so the two women could enter. Claire tugged on Elle's hand leading her inside and to the couch sitting down. Noah closed the door and took off his glasses, cleaning them, before walking to the armchair sitting down "So…you'll have to explain this to me…" he said putting his glasses back on and looking at his daughter. Claire nodded "Elle showed up at school dad…alive…she…she needed my help dad" she said not releasing the older girl's hand. Noah looked to Elle and sighed "What kind of help...the last I heard the only help you needed was the man who nearly murdered my entire family" he spat. Elle looked down "I…made a mistake" she said, her voice barely above a whisper "Sylar was…no good for me…for anyone..." Claire gave Elle's hand a reassuring squeeze "She's changed dad, being with Elle…she…she makes me happy…happier than I have been in years" she said smiling. The older blonde looked at Claire and smiled "And I swear Noah…I'm not going to hurt anyone…especially not your daughter" she said softly. Noah looked from his daughter to Elle and sighed "Well…as long as my Claire-Bear is happy…I trust her judgment" he said nodding. Elle looked at him in total shock, she had expected Noah to lash out and either shoot her or figure out a way to lock her up again. Claire smiled "Thanks dad…it means a lot" she said happily. Elle just continued to stare "I…I promise Noah…I won't hurt Claire…not in any way" she said smiling.

Noah nodded "I believe you…you obviously make my daughter very happy, it's been far too long since I have seen her smile like she is now" he said smiling. Claire laughed softly "See, told you he'd be cool" she said smiling at Elle. Noah shook his head with a grin "So, exactly what was this help you needed from my daughter" he asked, leaning against the chair. Elle bit her lip "Uh…w...well the thing is..." she stuttered, She was afraid that if she told Noah about the baby he wouldn't approve. The older blonde looked at Claire, her eyes pleading. "Dad..." Claire started "Elle's kind of…well…expecting…" she said softly. Noah sat for a minute in silence….he knew instantly who the child's father was "Well…that is…interesting to say the least..." he said quietly, he looked up at the pair "Are you both ok with it" he asked. Claire nodded "Yes, more than ok…mom helped us get a place so we wouldn't have to worry about living in the dorms…" she looked at Elle who smiled "We're happy dad…very happy". Noah studied the two for a minute before smiling "Nurture over nature right, I'm sure that the child will have a wonderful life" he said leaning back in the chair. Claire jumped up hugging her father "Thanks for being so understanding dad…I love you so much" she said kissing his cheek. Noah wrapped his arms around his daughter "I love you too Claire-Bear" he whispered. He looked at Elle and smiled before whispering in Claire's ear. The younger Bennet girl smiled and pulled Elle up and into the hug as well; "Welcome to the family Elle, I promise I will personally be sure that you and my daughter, as well as the child have everything you need" he said smiling.

Elle wasn't sure what to do; she hadn't expected Noah to be so alright with everything "Thanks Noah" she said smiling. The electric blonde gasped "Oh that reminds me" she said excitedly, "We found out the baby's a boy…Peter told us that when he went to the future to copy Sylar's power he saw him…" she said grinning "We're naming him Noah". Claire looked over at her father who couldn't help but smile "That is quite an honor Elle…Thank you" he said hugging her yet again. Elle giggled "You're welcome Noah" she said smiling. Claire grinned "Well…if you're going to help us…we kind of need furniture…like…all of it…for every room in the house" she said smiling. Noah nodded "Alright Claire-Bear, You guys go furniture shopping, I'll pay for it all" he said smiling. Claire smiled hugging her dad "Thanks dad, we'll pay you back…promise" she said happily. Elle nodded "We will definitely pay you back, and now that Sylar is dead, we won't have to worry about him finding us" she said smiling. Noah sighed "That's….actually something we need to talk about…" he said sitting down. Claire looked at her dad and frowned 'What do you mean dad" she asked confused. Noah took a deep breath "Sylar is alive. He's in Nathan's body" he said softly.
