[Landon Carter]

Everything seemed new to Landon as he drove down the street of New York City of course things would be after being away for two years due to the military and now coming back it felt like arriving in the city for the very first time but he guessed that he had to get used of it now. The question that was going through his head at this present time was how to tell Claire about his ability he wondered how she would react to it even after pondering on it during the long flight Landon still didn’t know what to say about it but he thought that he would play it out and see what happened he would tell her but right now Landon didn’t know how. Turning into another street Landon looked at the houses around him some of them he recognized then again there was some that where new to him. Landon had spoken to Claire over the phone a couple of days ago saying that he was coming back and now getting his car back from the military base where he left it two years ago things where getting back to normal well as normal as it can get.

Landon could see Claire’s place up ahead he smiled as he looked at it for a moment before pulling up at the driveway. The car pulled to a stop and Landon climbed out he took out his keys, wallet and mobile phone and placed them inside his two pockets. It was good to be back after being gone for some time; Landon began walking towards the front door as he walked he looked around to see what had changed in his absence but he guessed that he would find out in due time. Landon approached the door and raised his left hand knocking on the door twice. Landon took a couple of steps back as he waited for Claire to answer the door. Landon turned his head as up looked up and down the street there was things that he could remember then there where things he couldn’t he stood still as he waited for the door to open.

Claire sat on her couch with her legs up watching a Ocean's eleven on TV with Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Claire was sending out emails to her friends in La and all over. Claire chose to wear jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Claire was waiting for the Chinese food she ordered to arrive in a few moments. Claire got up to go to the bathroom then she remembered that Landon was coming back to New York sometime soon, She did not remember if he told her a day or not yet. Well Claire shook her shoulders as her eyes drifted off to sleep.

Claire heard a loud noise in her ear and jumped up off the couch. "What in the world." She heard it again realizing it was a knock on the door. "Well that was quick for food." Claire went to look through the peep hole to see who it was. Claire saw Landon and freaked, she looked in the mirror that was right by the door. She saw that her hair was a mess so she tried to fix it before she opened the front door to face him. " Landon your back." Claire smiled brightly at him.

Claire looked at him smiling the whole time, She realized he looked quite different then when he left. Claire thought he looked more rugged and handsome in that way. Well to her he was always handsome. Claire remembered that she was pissed when he told her he was leaving but its what he had to do so she understood. One thing she never told him was that it broke her heart that she left him even for the military." How are you Landon?" Claire leaned against the doorway wondering what made him come see her not that she wasn't happy to see him, she just did not expect him to come see her yet. " Why don't you come inside and sit down. I will get you some lemonade you look like you can use it."

[Landon Carter]

Landon’s question was soon answered when Claire opened the door looking exactly as he pictured she would be after been gone he smiled as he looked towards her. “I am back and staying for good now.” Landon began as he replied to Claire. Landon brushed his right hand through his hair and smiled as he walked into Claire’s place it still looked the same he didn’t tell Claire that he always regretted joining the military and leaving her to go overseas but it was the price he paid for enlisting but now he hopped to make it up for Claire. “I was in a training accident a week ago the military honorably discharged me for it.” Landon explained though ad he looked at her Landon was pondering on how to explain to her about his power he wondered what she would say about it; Landon guessed that if he ever wanted to know the answers to his question that he had been dying to ask Claire he’d better just come out and explain it to her and hoped that she would understand. “I missed you every day since I was gone Claire but there’s something else in need to tell you it’s helped me in tough situations.” Landon explained looking at Claire.

Landon looked around the room hoping that nothing would break when he showed Claire. “I don’t really know where to begin but I hope that you don’t look at me different when I tell you.” Landon explained looking back at Claire. Stretching out his left hand with his palm flat Landon looked at Claire and spoke. “When I was overseas I found out that I could create energy in my hands and launch it.” Landon explained as he made a ball of red energy appeared inside the palm of his hand; closing his fist the ball of energy disappeared and Landon looked back at Claire wondering what she was going to say next hopping it was a good reaction and nothing seriously bad. “You’re the only one I really trust with this Claire I haven’t told anyone. I care and love you; wouldn’t want you to get hurt in anyway which is why I wanted to tell you this in person and not over the phone.” Landon explained further. Looking back towards Claire he stepped forward towards her hopping that she wouldn’t freak out about what he ad just shown her and told her; Landon cared for Claire too much to lose her.

Claire looked at Landon as all these thoughts started going through her head." Are you ok Landon." Claire listened as Landon told her about his ability and she smiled because he trusted her with his secret. " you know how I was always able to heal and no one ever knew why. Wait did I ever tell you that well anyway that is my ability." Claire looked at Landon and smiled the looked out the window and away from Landon.

" There is something else I need to tell you Landon. so you may want to sit down for this." Claire felt like she was about to fall apart if she did not tell Landon what she was never able to tell him in the letters she sent him in the Military.Claire looked deep down inside her for comfort, she took a deep breath and spoke softly. " So I felt sick about a month after you left. I was up all night, I couldn't sleep. I was throwing up in the morning before work and during the day. So I went to the doctors it turns out I was pregnant." Claire looked at Landon as she said the last line then stopped and took another breath, slowly she moved over to the couch to sit.

" So five weeks later I woke up from bed because my stomach hurt. It was not my stomach it was the baby. I called my family and they took me to the hospital I lost the baby. I lost our baby." It took Claire all the strength inside her to not cry again. She thought about this everyday for the last year and a half knowing it will never fully go away. Claire waited to hear a word or movement anything from Landon she had no idea how he would react to the news she told him about what happen.

Landon looked back at Claire and smiled he was glad that telling her of his power didn’t make her think of him differently which to Landon was good. Landon stood there in silence as Claire began speaking further explaining that she too had a power of her own which surprised Landon but he felt good that they could truly trust each other to tell one another about their secrets. Landon nodded in reply as he walked over towards the couch and sat down he looked confused on what Claire was about to tell him though he kept silent as he listened to her as Claire explained further that she was sick and then Claire told him that she was pregnant his eyes lit up but he was shocked when Claire told him that the baby was lost. Landon was shell shocked he was expecting this he looked at Claire who in his opinion was about to fall apart. Standing up he walked over towards Claire and knelt down. “I’m sorry I really am.” Landon started he fought to control himself he was about to fall apart himself though tears dripped from his eyes. “I should have been here you shouldn’t have been through this alone.” Landon added in.

Landon raised his left hand and rested it softly on the left side of Claire’s face. “We can get through this I’m not going away anymore I’m here to stay with you Claire. You won’t have to be alone again I’m sorry for leaving you.” Landon explained as he wiped the tears on his eyelids. Landon blamed himself for leaving Claire for the military when she really needed him. Landon looked back at Claire looking into her eyes he raised both hands and wrapped them around Claire; Landon then pulled her into a hug. “I should’ve been here Claire. I still love you no matter what.” Landon explained as he let Claire go from the hug and looked back at her still with tears on his eyes he didn’t know that on the other side of the world Claire was going through tough times he thought everything was fine with the letters but now it’s out in the open and Landon blamed himself for leaving but he was here now and Landon was going to make things better he had to. Lowering his head Landon rested it on Claire’s knees and fell silent he wasn’t angry at Claire for anything heck why should he be angry at all?

[Claire Harper]

Claire looked at Landon and saw tears in his eyes "Landon I didn't tell you I was pregnant because I didn't want you to change your mind and come home or anything. Well Yeah i wanted you to come home but I knew you couldn't." Claire leaned in to Landon when he hugged her she felt so safe in those arms. Claire kissed Landon when he placed his hand on her face she smiled, she couldn't help it. Claire pulled away from the kiss to speak " I love you too. I know I am not going anywhere either unless it is with you." Claire smiled at Landon, she wiped away the tears that he missed. "Hey don't cry thats not exactly what I want to see right now or I may fall apart right here and now." Claire looked in his eyes and tears started to fall from her eyes. " I need food." Claire smiled and stood to go into the kitchen and made two sandwiches and grabbed two bears. Claire handed one to Landon sitting down to eat the other herself.

[Landon Carter]

Landon nodded in reply to Claire he could understand everything that she was saying. “I’m here now there’s nothing going to stop us for being separated now.” Landon replied he still hadn’t quiet worked out on why they both had abilities but he guessed that this wasn’t a good moment to talk about them now that they where out in the open and all; which made Landon happy but he was still in complete shock with everything that’s happened and what Claire had been through while he was away. When Claire kissed Landon he knew that everything was going to be alright he didn’t know how but he just knew it. Smiling as Claire stood up to leave for the kitchen he walked over towards the couch and took a seat as he waited for Claire to return. Landon had missed Claire every day since he was overseas and he was glad that he was staying and not leaving again. Landon stood up once again as he watched Claire walk back into the room with a couple of sandwiches and two beers in her hand. Landon began eating the sandwich that Claire gave him and realized that he hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday morning. After finishing eating Landon he stood up and walked over towards Claire and leaned towards her. “We’ll make things better. I promise.” Landon explained as he softly kissed Claire.

[Claire Harper]

Claire sat there after she gave Landon the sandwich smiling at him."Well it is good to know that we still love eachother enough to give us a second chance." Claire looked at Landon and frowned."Thats what you want us to have right a second chance at our life. The life for us like we use to be though we may not be the same considering I can heal and you can what was it again." Claire smiled at Landon knowing she was teasing him it was fun claire always loved Landon. When claire was done she walked over and sat next to Landon laying her head in his shoulder just reasting.

Claire kissed Landon on te cheek."Yes we will make every thing better and it will be better because you won't leave again. With out me that is, where ever you go I go and that is final." Claire said in a tone that basically said don't back talk me Landon.

[Landon Carter]

Landon nodded in reply to Claire it was good they where giving the relationship another chance and everything was out in the open. Landon smiled and laughed when she teased him though he wasn’t worried he found it cute. Landon sipped the bottle of beer for a moment as he looked outside he wondered what ob he’ll take now that he wasn’t in the military and all he should look in the paper tomorrow morning and see what’s available that he could apply for. When Claire walked over towards him and laid on his shoulder he moved a bit so Claire could get comfortable though not even realizing he placed the bottle of beer down on the floor next to the couch he knocked the bottle over causing it to smash to bits. “Sorry totally forgot I put that there.” Landon explained to Claire looking a bit embarrassed; he leaned forwards to pick up the broken class though his hand caught the edge and cut Landon deeply.

“Ouch that really hurt.” Landon called out as he moved his hand closer towards him so he could see the damage he caused himself. As soon as Landon raised his hand upwards so he could see the wound started to heal itself right in front of Landon and Claire. Confused Landon looked from Claire to his hand’ did he just use Claire’s power to heal himself from the cut? Landon began pondering on what he just did he couldn’t believe what just happened to him. “Did I just use your power Claire?” Landon asked looking towards Claire hoping to get some answers because it looked like he just used Claire’s ability which to Landon shocked him completely.

[Claire Harper]

Claire moved in comfortable to Landon and smiles at him. Claire looked at him "Hey so what are you going to do now that you are back in town." Claire wanted to know because she was wondering if he would be around her a lot more. Claire looked at Landon and saw his hand bleeding." That looks bad Landon maybe you should go see a doctor." Then Claire saw Landon's hand heal it self. " Oh My God you did wow I don't think I have ever seen someone use my power before." Claire had a look of shock on her face as well as fear, she did not know why. "How did that happen and why did it happen." Claire smiled and took Landon's hand in hers and wiped off the blood that was left behind. " So why don't you stay since your here, I was thinking of watching a movie and making popcorn. So what do you say?"
