Yeah, Yeah.. Nathan is the real father of Claire, and Peter is uncle of her. So we’re not gonna see any Peter-Claire “love”… However, Tim Kring talked about the past of Nathan-Claire relation with TVGuide.

TV Guide: Was it always your plan to have Nathan be Claire’s father?
Tim Kring: Yes, from before Day 1. When the show was just a diagram on paper, I drew strings between the various characters, a plan for how they would ultimately become connected. Though some things have since changed, I’ve stuck to major parts of that blueprint, and Nathan being Claire’s father was a part of that.

TV Guide: Did you keep this a secret from Pasdar and Panattiere, or were they in on it from the beginning?
Kring: Adrian and I talked about it literally right after we hired him. I told Hayden one day when we were sitting around on the set, maybe two or three episodes into the show.

TV Guide: Their reactions?
Kring: Adrian was thrilled. He says he’s at his best as an actor when he’s playing characters who have a secret. Knowing where this was going allowed him to play certain things in scenes between Nathan and his wife [Rena Sofer], certain little subtleties. As for Hayden, oh, she thought it was cool, I guess, but she’s a teenager. [Laughs] She doesn’t overthink this Heroes thing. Because she’s been a professional actor for so long, the work is not angsty for her. She’s more interested in text-messaging her friends.

TV Guide: Since Nathan, Claire and Meredith all have powers â€â€? Dad can fly, Mom can mentally create fire, and the kid is physically indestructible â€â€? this further amps up the theory that the heroes are getting their abilities through DNA. Nathan’s brother Peter [Milo Ventimiglia] also has powers. Ditto Niki [Ali Larter] and her son Micah [Noah Gray-Cabey]. Are there more familial links to be revealed?
Kring: Yes. We’re going to explore the idea of evolution and family connections in a big way. There will be other revelations about the inherited nature of these powers.
