There was no more time for confusion, and upon realizing she was going to be a mother, Claire had none. Gilean was it. Though he wasn't an esper and she had always assumed her life would be spent with her own kind, there was a certain joy she felt in knowing that her mate was a man who adored her from the start. She knew that their child would have a patient, kind father.
As a proclamation of her affections, Claire scoured the realms to gather every fruit and treat she could locate.

Things clicked into place quickly, and well, far beyond her expectations.
It was while she busied herself in her studies that Psycho's voice echoed into her mind. He seemed only mildly surprised at her news of impending marriage, though Claire did not share with him the news of her pregnancy. The truth was she harbored fears - she was going to bear a half-esper, and to admit this to another esper was tremendously difficult. At the very least, they agreed to remain friends and meet in the future. It was yet another piece of her life that seemed to fall into lock-step.
