Parenting: A New Voyage (Part 2)

Orion loved Earth. Everytime the Enterprise docked there, or Uhura and Spock took vacation time there, the toddler couldn't get enough.

Peter soon followed behind, and leaned against the doorframe of the open ( Read more... )

Gabriel only huffed silently as he gripped the door handle of the car and jerked it open. He hesitated slightly, holding Noah in his arms, ( Read more... )

"Noah Nathan Gray Petrelli!"

The two-year old squealed as he raced down the hall, completely naked. His teeth chattered as he giggled.
