Author's Note: Thanks to Anna (AJeff) inspired this, and kinda borrowed this format from her story Dear Mr. Petrelli. This letter will probably be the only installment though.

Spoiler Note: Volume 4: Chapter 2: Trust and Blood


My Baby,

I never told you. I never will. Because a mother is born to protect her children. But I cannot protect you any longer. You made your choice.

I told Peter, he knows what I am talking about. He won't tell you either.

We did not want to destroy your dream. Even though the clues were there you saw what he did to Peter. But you did not listen.

You see Nathan, I killed a man for you. And not just any man but your father, a man I loved because he wanted to do the unthinkable to you.

And now you did the same thing. I am sorry to inform you that Claire's over hearing was not an accident. I could have taken the call in my bedroom where she would have not thought to pick up the extension –it was only because I allowed her to hear me.

She had to be protected. She had to be told. I knew she would listen. Did you know how I felt when I saw that plane crash down?

Your brother being on that plane. What if he died? We already lost him before, remember? What if you killed your brother?

I am one of them too. I am one of them too.

Your power was given to you by men that thought they had the power to play God. I loved you for whom you were and for whom you are.

I had dreams Nathan. Dreams I saw many a time. Worlds exploding. People dying. My family dying. Death from things I did. Deaths from things I saw that I thought I could prevent but only made worse.

Now you did the same thing. I tried to warn you. You are so stubborn. You thought you knew better.

When you called me, part of me wanted to wrap my arms around you and tell you everything would be okay. Because that is what a mother is compelled to do. But I will not lie to you Nathan, I love you too much.

– Ma
