At least Mohinder was easily pacified. He smiled at Matt, at the slightly calming gesture and relaxed. He assumed, incorrectly, that Jessie's mother just didn't care for the idea of a same-sex couple raising a child, but it didn't matter. What Mohinder didn't know in this case could affect him... Though he might have been flattered by Matt's possessiveness.

Their day at the beach could continue unimpeded by anyone else, starting with Mohinder insisting on reapplying sunscreen to the back of Matt's neck and shoulders. "Much too pink," he proclaimed. "I hardly need you getting skin cancer because you're jealous of my tan," he joked stupidly, rubbing the lotion into Matt's skin in entirely too wonderful a way.

Molly was happy. They were happy. The sand was warm, the water was cool...and they all had each other.

After burying Matt in the sand and one more session in the water, however, it was time to pack up and go. And not a second too soon, either. The sun was still high in the sky but Molly was yawning something feirce.
