Dear Angel,
I've been home for a month now since I came home from the hospital. I carried a baby you know.... but you knew about that. Course, you didn't know it was your baby and not Riley's.. How do I know? After the baby... well, they took tests and it was yours, not his. How? Who knows. Who cares? Anyway, you'll want to see the baby and you can, at the cemetary. She died, Angel. Our little baby, Elizabeth, died. She died right after she was born. So tiny and so blue. Dead as I delivered her. I'll never forgive myself. Why? Because if I hadn't been a slayer and fought demons and patrolled she'd have lived, I just know it! Our little baby, Angel. She was so perfect even blue. Her little five fingers. Her little hands and toes and feet. She weighed three pounds. She was so blue, Angel. So very blue. Dead. Dead, Angel, DEAD! I'll never, ever forgive myself and I'll never, ever give birth again. I'm going to have my tubes tied. No more blue babies. No more.... No...Sleep...
