Characters: Claire Bennet, Nathan Petrelli
When: After this.
Location: Claire and Mer's room
Warnings/Rating: None that I can think of. Likely low.
Summary: Claire's found a baby Ben Franklin in her room and she only knows one person who knows anything about babies.
Status: Closed/Incomplete.
Every time her phone chimed, the baby would start crying harder.
Which Claire supposed he would do if he was actually who his little bracelet said he was, phones didn't even exist at the time. Neither did. . .trains, if she remembered correctly.
Claire bit down on her lip and walked back over to the bassinet. She leaned forward to tug down on the blanket enough to see the baby's face. He didn't look very old, but she wasn't really a good judge of age either, so that didn't really mean much.
"Shhhh," she said, trying to go for a soothing tone because she wasn't sure what else to do. She'd been about four when Lyle had been born and most of her memories of him as a baby were of the same thing. He'd really just been the noise in the crib until he'd been big enough to crawl around.
She was pretty sure this baby wasn't.
Claire looked down at her phone as it chimed to tell her she had another text. She pulled it up to read the message and let out the breath she was holding.
"Okay," she said, taking another deep breath and letting it out when she heard a knock on the door.
Almost there. Right.
Claire went over to the door and opened it enough to peek through the crack just to make sure it was actually Nathan. She realized it was paranoid, but she'd also seen the net recently and she wasn't about to just let anyone into her and Meredith's room right now.
She pulled the door open then. Claire wanted to hug him, but hesitated for a moment too long.
"Thank God," she said, stepping back to let him into the room. "I don't even know where to START."
