Part 11

"No, you are not my mother. I have a mother and she died long time ago," Hiro said.

"She was a wonderful woman too," Angela added before helping herself to some more orange juice.

Nathan turned away. Though it did explain a few things like how he and Hiro had this mysterious connection. Hiro always reminded him of Peter in a way, and this revelation made more relevant.

Peter looked at his mother and narrow eyes. "Nathan was away from school wasn't he?"

Angela nodded, "Yes."

"But..."

"What about you? You were only three years old. No offense but deceiving you was easy."

Angela thought back the twenty some years before when she was pregnant with her youngest son. Nathan was spending some time on an internship and Angela wore a lot of sweaters. She never put on too much weight, she was lucky that way, but did her best to conceal the rest of the bulge.

Even at age three Peter was very aware of her emotional state, and she had an interesting time trying to keep her emotions in check. Arthur, her husband, was of course very aware of her situation, which probably did not help matters one bit.

Peter stared at Angela for a moment, the look of realization on his face.

"Mom?"

"Arthur and I, Nathan and Peter's father."

Angela paused only for a second between Nathan and Peter's names. "We were having a lot of

problems. Well, now you know."

"And my mother?"

"She is your mother. In all ways that matter. Your father loved her very much. I do not believe you would even want all the details."

Nathan had to agree he did not even want to hear what he knew.

"But I can assure you that it was just that one time, until after your mother's death," Angela continued. "You always have had a place in my heart Hiro, but I knew it would be better for you to live with your father and Ishi."

Peter looked at Hiro to try to gauge his reaction and to Nathan.

Hiro was shocked and was not yet sure what he thought about the matter but as a believer of fate and destiny it did make a weird type of sense.

Nathan tried to smile.

"Well, this has certainly been an interesting few months."

"Yes," Peter nodded.

He took Niki's hand into his.

"And thank you very much Niki for bringing me back to the family I love. No matter how many little surprises that might come with it."

Niki smiled.

"You are welcome."

Nathan watched as the two held hands and looked into each others eyes.

They looked happy both of them and it made him happy too. He loved his brother and wanted him to be not only safe but happy and it was a long time since he saw his brother happy. It was a Godsend as much as his brother ever was to him.

Hiro looked at Nathan and smiled.

"You miss your wife?" he whispered.

Nathan nodded.

"But now that I know that my two little brothers are safe I know I can take the steps to get my life back. To get back the time I lost feeling sorry for myself."

Peter nodded. "Good."

"Yes," Hiro agreed. "Fight the snitch of time."
