Disclaimer: Trust me if I owned em' I would so brag about it. However I don't so. I'll sit and sulk about it! The song is somewhere in between by Lifehouse (they so totally rock!)
Summary: Unnatural brats challenge 7: month of June 2003. Kinda of a she's all that theme. Connor is the most popular boy in school. Makes a bet to make the most unpopular girl prom Queen. But there's a twist. They're both miracle children, and destiny is about to make an appearance.
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: Scrap everything that comes after season 4 of Buffy (expect Riley leaving and the potentials becoming slayers!). Scrap everything after the first series of Angel! Buffy and the gang move to L.A., just after Dawn is born, but Angel and his gang don't know this! Plus everything that has happened is set like over 18 years ago!
Couples: Spike/Buffy, Connor/Dawn Angel/Cordellia If you want other couples, let me, but right now undecided!
Authors Note: Now the challenge says that Connor isn't the child of 2 vampires. but it never said he could be the son of 1 vampire! And for that matter, Buffy and Spike also have a child, and spike also has a soul. ya know this really should come under summary. oh well! Authors Note 2: Thanks to Rakel for being my Beta, you so totally rock! And I thank movies, for giving me endless hours of mind numbing treats, I can feel myself becoming an airhead as I type! _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-_
I can't be losing sleep

and now I cannot stop pacing
give me a few hours
I'll have this all sorted out
if my mind would just stop racing cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
this cannot be happening this is over my head
but underneath my feet
cause by tomorrow morning
I'll have this thing beat
and everything will be back to the way that it was
I wish that it was just that easy cause I'm waiting for tonight
and then waiting for tomorrow
and I'm somewhere in between
what is real and just a dream
what is real and just a dream
what is real and just a dream would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in
don't be surprised if I collapse
down at your feet again
I don't want to run away from this
I know that I just don't need this cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
this cannot be happening, yeah cause I'm waiting for tonight
and then waiting for tomorrow
and I'm somewhere in between
what is real and just a dream
what is real and just a dream
what is real and just a dream

"Mrs Angel, not much longer now. One push should it. And then you can see your baby." Cordelia was pretty much ready to give up. She was holding onto Angel with all her might, but she was getting extremely tired.
"I don't know if I can do this Angel. It really hurts. I knew I should have gone with the drugs."
"You can Cordy. I'm here with you and everyone else is outside, waiting for our child to be born. Come on, after 3. Ready. 1, 2, 3!" Angel braced himself as Cordelia squeezed his hand. Although he had fought many battles in his life, the pain that Cordelia was causing his hand was extreme. "God you have no idea how much my hand hurts right now." Angel said out loud, causing all the women and Cordelia to look at him. "Oh right. sorry." Angel gave a small grin. A moment later Angel heard a small cry.
"Congratulations, you have beautiful baby boy." The Nurse handed the child to Angel, who seemed to panic slightly.
"Uh. what do I do?" He asked the nurse.
"Just hold him, and your be fine!" Angel showed Cordelia their son.
"Wow. he's beautiful Angel. Though he doesn't look to much like us, does he?" Cordelia commented.
"He looks a bit like my sister, Kathy." He answered looking at his wife.
"So what should we name him?" Cordelia asked Angel. He sat for a moment deep in thought.
"I don't know. What do you think hun?" Angel looked to Cordy, and she had a big grin on her face.
"I like Milagro? It means miracle." Angel just looked at her.
"Although that's nice. I don't think so. How about something good and Irish. Sheridon. I really like Sheridon. I had a neighbour back in Ireland called that, he used to get all the girls." This time Cordelia looked at Angel.
"That is the worst name in the world. How could you think of such a thing?" They both glared at each other, neither wavering. Suddenly Angel had a brain wave.
"How about Connor? It's Irish, like me, but still fairly modern. Do you like it?"
"I do, its perfect. Any way shouldn't we let those people in from outside, who want to see the child? I think there were some faeries floating around, and one or two demons!"
"Ok. But after that I have to go, its nearly dawn, and I don't want to combust! Besides, I don't think that the people outside are in any hurry. I mean it's not like its everyday that there's a child born of a vampire, now is there?"
Sunnydale.
"Ok Miss Summers, just one more push, and your have your baby." The mid- wife encouraged. After 20 hours in labour, Buffy decided that well. this was a lot harder then slaying. 'Damn, I owe Willow 50 bucks now!' She managed to think, before another contraction over rode her senses, and she gave one long, hard push.
"Come on, it can't be that bloody hard." Spike commented from the sidelines. Ok yeah, he was being sarcastic, but on the inside. he was so nervous. It shouldn't have been possible, but here, today, Spike was going to be a daddy.
"I tell you what Spike. If that's your attitude, then we are never ever having sex again!" She screamed out, while still pushing. After a few seconds, a cry could be heard in the room.
"Congratulations, you have a baby girl." The Nurse informed the couple, and she handed Buffy the baby.
"Hi there, little one. I'm your mommy, and that grumpy old man over there is your daddy."
"I'm not old." Buffy heard Spike mutter, and Buffy gave a small giggle.
"Do you want to hold her Spike?" At this Spike perked right up, and took the child from Buffy.
"Hello bit. well aren't you beautiful." He was a complete goner. Buffy knew that their child was gonna be a daddy's girl for sure.
"So what should we call her?" Spike turned to ask Buffy, but he saw her trying to fight off sleep.
"Dawn." Buffy managed to yawn out. "Because she's our little sun rise." After, Buffy fell asleep.
"Dawn huh?" Spike asked himself. "I guess I could deal with that. Its better than Peaches' name isn't it?" He wasn't expecting an answer, but Dawn grabbed his finger, as if to say yes. "Well aren't you a clever one. Come on, I'm sure there a lot of people waiting to see you outside. And it nearly is dawn, so Daddy has to get home." Spike kissed her head, and then walked into the lobby where the Scooby gang met him.
Somewhere in between.
"Well this certainly is bizarre! Never knew the powers had it in them, giving two vampires children. Well either way it should make for interesting viewing when the kids are in high school. I can just see it now: Cordelia as a soccer mom and Spike baking cookies for the bake sales at Dawn's school. In fact I think Dawn's chances of dating are slim to none with Spike as a dad!" Whistler got up the rock he was sitting on and chuckled to himself.
"Not that Connor has a bigger chance. I mean Angel will just stick half a tub of gel in Connor's hair. though Angel does have a nice car. girls like cars!" Whistler walked down the road, and continued to talk to himself. He stopped suddenly, and let out an extremely loud laugh.
"Man those two would have a better chance dating each other, then other people!" He looked up at the sky, where the sun was just rising.
"That's the whole point isn't it? They're meant for each other, aren't they?" He just shook his head. "Trust you guys to think of something like that. But hey I'm just the messenger right? I told them that they were having children. But this one. they can just figure that one on their own. You realise that Dawn will be so I mean if her friends can get past Spike, which in itself is highly unlikely, then Buffy will just be over cheery all the time. Plus I know Robin wood isn't like a Slayer, but that's coz he's a guy! But Dawn might be! And Connor. well with Cordelia as his mom.he's going to be a legacy, so naturally he'll be popular. If this is going to be some after school special, I'm outer here." Whistler turned to change direction, but lightning flashed out of no-where.
"Fine! I'll watch over them, but if you want them to be together, they got figure it out on their own. Making choices for them ain't such a good idea! Trust me." He continued to walk until he saw his car in the distance.
"I hope you realise that this is gonna fall through! It always does! But hey I'm just the whack who always seems to be talking to himself, and in fact, constantly has the powers talking in riddles and signs! I mean I know you tell me some stuff, but other's you tell me a small portion, and make me figure out the rest. Buffy's right, the good guy's aren't know for their communication skills! If you want my advice, I wouldn't let Spike know that Angel has a kid and vice versa. I know that Buffy and Spike are moving to LA but it's a big place. Until the right time, keep them apart. What I mean is that if the Scooby's know that the fang gang each have children, then their either gonna hate each other or are gonna try and push Dawn and Connor together. Either way Dawn and Connor won't like it!" Whistler listened to what the powers told him.
"Well yeah, I realise that's 18 years, but hey if you want this to work, just go with me here ok? It's not like there's a cry for heroes these days. I mean there are what? 5,000 slayers in the world. They'll take care of evil for a while. It's that, or you can find some other sap to keep an eye on the brats." He waited for objections, but none were heard.
"Well alrightly then! Let's get this show on the road." He hopped into his car, and began his journey to the City of Angels.
