I know, I know, another "IWRY" story. But I was sick today, and when
I was lying there basically delirious I came up with this. Now my fever has
broken, and I can think again. And in the process you guys get another
story.
Summery - Buffy gives birth to a baby after IWRY. After the birth she knew it was Angel's, but didn't tell him. Now after she died in "The Gift" she leaves Angel with their child.
Spoilers - Major ones for "The Gift" and "I will remember you"
Minor ones for "TNPLPG" and "Heartthrob" and maybe "Bargaining"
Disclaimer - I only own Aubs. The rest belong to Joss.
Author's note – The time line is a little off. We'll just say that Aubs is about 3. Just go with it.

"I love you, I will always love you. But these are the things that I have to do. Tell Giles.....Tell Giles that I figured it out...and I'm okay. And tell, Aubs, that I love her so much. And that I will always love her. And Angel, tell him I never stopped loving him. I'll always love him. There are these letters in my room, for him. It explains everything. And tell my friends to look out for each other now. They'll need. You'll need to take care of each other. Dawn, the hardest thing to do in this world is to live in it. Be brave, live, for me." Were Buffy's last words as she plunged to her death.
They found her body, lying on a pile of rubble. She looked so peaceful in death. Her hair was fanned away from her face. Her face held a peaceful expression. She looked like she was sleeping. Spike cried at the sight of her. Xander stood in shock, not believing in what he was seeing. Dawn was sobbing her heart out, right along with Willow. Anya was in shock and just laid her head on Xander's shoulder. Tara looked on with silent grief and guilt. Giles started at the girl who he considered, his daughter.
(+)(+)(+)
Later that night -
Dawn had fallen into an exhausted sleep. Spike was next to her, just staring into space. Anya was home from the hospital, only slightly dazed from her concussion. Tara, Willow, Xander and Giles discussed what they should do next.
"What are we going to do about Aubs? Now that Buffy isn't here to protect her and Sunnydale, this town will become a demon magnet." Xander said quietly. Willow nodded.
"Thank God, Aubs is with Anne this weekend. I mean it will be harder to do this with her here." Willow said.
"I think we should give Aubrey to Angel. He is her real father and she'll be protected with him." Tara said after much thought. Willow nodded in agreement. Xander looked disgusted but also nodded. He was trying to think of what was best for little Aubs.
"It's a good idea. Tomorrow, we'll pack up her remaining things and bring it to LA. We'll pick up Aubs and tell Angel about Buff....what happened." Giles sad. Spike's head snapped up when he heard Giles say that Aubs will live with Angel.
"No, the poof has no idea how to deal with kids. We all can take care of her and she'll be better off, because she'll be around people she knows." He argued. He would never admit it but, he loved little Aubs. And he wanted her to be happy as possible. Giles glared at the vampire and sighed.
"Angel deserves to know he has a daughter. When Buffy was....she told us if a demon found out about Aubrey then many demons would be after them. And Aubrey's life would be in a lot of danger. And if Angelus ever appeared, then Aubrey would be basically being on death row. But now that she's gone, Aubrey would be safer with Angel." He said calmly. Spike glared at all of them before getting up and leaving. The door slammed causing Dawn to wake.
"What...What's happening? What did I miss?" She asked. Willow took dawn in her arms and held her.
"Sweetie, we have decided to let Aubs live with Angel in LA. She'll be safer there." She said softly. Dawn nodded and got up. She left and went upstairs.
"Poor Kid." Xander said watching Dawnie leave. She then came down stairs. She was carrying a few letters. They looked at her confused.
"Before, everything, Buffy said that these letters will explain everything." She said. She passed out the letters that had their named on it.
(+)(+)(+)
"Aunt Willow!" yelled 2 ½ year old Aubrey. She happily threw her arms around the red-head as she walked through the door.
"Hey pumpkin. How are you?" Willow said tearfully. Seeing Aubs made her think of Buffy. Anne then came out with a smile on her face.
"Hey willow! Everything okay in Sunny dale again?" she asked. Aubs tugged at Willow's hand impatiently.
"Where's momma? Take me to momma! I have to show her a picture I made!" she said. Willow picked up the child, and sat down. Anne mimicked her and sat on the couch with her.
"What's wrong where is Buffy?" she asked. Before Willow could answer, Aubrey spoke up.
"Yeah, is momma hiding? Cuz then I have to find her!" she said brightly. Willow shook her head.
"Sweetheart, Momma is not going to come home. Momma decided that she had to go sleep, forever." Willow said sadly, while looking at Anne. Anne's hand flew up to her mouth and she gasped.
"Oh my God. She's gone? She's really gone?" she asked tears now trailing down her cheeks. Willow nodded and Aubs looked at her.
"Where is she Aunt Willow? Where did momma go?" she asked.
"Aubrey, Momma is dead, she went to live with the angels." She said softly.
"No. Momma's home. Momma is waiting for me! Don't lie! It's not nice!" The little girl said running out of the room. Willow looked at Anne before going to fetch Aubs.
