Ch. 14 Recovering
I awoke at 12 in the afternoon. Every since I came home I been sleeping a whole lot more. I remember vaguely remembered that Gabriel kissed me goodbye this morning. I still felt weak after two weeks recovering. Elle came by everyday to check my progress. Elle said that she expected my recovery to be longer. She assured me that being tired was normal and would past. I got up and went to get something to eat. On the table was a note.
Gabs,
Good Morning Sleepyhead. I brought Micah to school and brought Noah to daycare. I will pick Noah up after work. Please rest and don't worry about a thing. Erin said that she and Elle would stop by today. Love You
-Gabe
I smiled at the note. Gabe knew how hard it was to relax. I decided that I would at least listen to him this time. I sat on the couch ate cereal. I had to giggle because I yelled at Gabriel last week for eating on the couch. I suddenly remembered that I would be getting my bandages changed today. Like she heard my thoughts, Elle Suresh and Erin Petrelli were at my door.
"My savior" I said looking at the bandages in Elle's hand.
"Well I brought you something to eat" Erin said pouting.
"That is true but my bandages have been annoying the hell out of me" I said.
"Let's get it than" Elle said. After she changed my bandages we ate.
"You know I think Peter has the most perfect nose I ever seen" Erin said. We usually talked about our husbands this way.
"Gabe has the best eyes" I said. We always fought over which husband was better looking.
"So Elle what did you think of Mohinder when you first met him" I asked.
"I thought he was really sweet and so shy. I liked him when I first met him" Elle said.
"It was like that with Peter to. At first I wasn't sure because I thought he would be stuck up but he proved me wrong" Erin said.
"What about you Gabby, did you like Gabe at first?" Elle asked.
"Well I was like He could use an eyebrow wax but he's not complete unfortunate looking." I said. They both laughed.
"I thought he was about full of himself at first but as time went on I found myself laughing at his comments" I said.
"So your relationship grew over time" Erin asked. I nodded.
"How does Shanti love daycare" I asked.
"Oh she loves it" Elle said.
When Gabriel came home I could tell it hadn't been a good day. He said no one was taking him seriously. He mentioned one particular agent, Ethan Johnson. I knew Ethan he was possible the most annoying guy at the company. He was a part of a group of agents that were an absolute horrible to Jade and her group. Jade often complained about them, I tried to catch them doing something but no such luck.
"I would have loved to have met Johnson when I was in my prime" Gabriel said bitterly. I gave him a glare. He knew that I didn't like him talking like this.
"What has he done now, Dad" Micah said sympathetically.
"Oh he is just being a jerk" Gabriel said.
"Sticks and Stones, Gabe" I said.
"It's him that is turning all the agents against me" Gabriel.
"Why does he have it in for you" Micah said.
"It's because I'm better looking" Gabriel said. Micah laughed. I gave him a disproving look.
"Don't take it personally Gabe, he hates Peter too" I said. I was done with my dinner and was now feeding Noah.
"I don't know all of that team seems off to me" Gabriel said
"I know what you mean, almost everyone I hate them" I said.
"There is no way in hell they beat Jade's team at the simulation" Gabriel said.
Part of the training program is the group goes on a fake mission. When Jade's group did there's they had the highest score in company history, than Ethan's team beat them. In a month they would be doing the test again. I was personally rooting for Jade's team
"People said they cheat but I can't pit anything on them" I said.
"I wish you would, than they would stop making everyone feel inferior." Gabe said. They phone rang. Gabriel went to answer it. He came back looking very bad tempered.
"I have to go back to the company, Johnson's group had some sort of problem on a mission." Gabriel said.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Not sure, I'm sure it's something that would greatly annoy me" Gabriel said.
"Ok, bye hon. Be safe" I said giving him a kiss.
"See you dad" Micah said.
"I can't wait until you get back. I don't know how more of this I can take" Gabriel said.
