Connor is seventeen year's old in this story he returned from Quortoth at fifteen and has been living with his dad and the rest of the fang gang for two years now in the Hyperion Hotel. From the first moment Angel saw his son he saw that he really needed his father and that is how Angel has been, he's been the father Connor so desperately needed and still is. It wasn't easy at first for Connor to trust his father but in time with his father's love and guidance Angel and Connor began a solid father and son relationship.

Chapter One

"Connor let's get going." Angel told his son. Connor really didn't want to go to the stupid Doctor's appointment. He felt like he had no control over his life, everything was "Connor do this" or "Connor don't do that!" it was starting to get to him more and more each day."Dad…… I can't see why I have to go to the doctor's I'm not sick or anything." Connor frustratingly said.

"Connor I've told you before it's to make sure your 100 percenthealthy that's it; it'll be done before you know it." Angel said as he walked to the door and opened it and motioned Connor to go though the door. Once they got to the doctor's office Angel went to the reception desk and signed in so they knew Connor was already there. This doctor's office was not your average doctor's office; it was a doctor's office for demons as well. Once Angel was done signing in the receptionist said "Please have a seat Sir a nurse will be out shortly."

Angel went and had a seat and picked up an old magazine he saw in front of him on a coffee table, while Connor paced around, he was starting to get a little nervous, just four days ago he was out with some friends he recently meet, these guys liked to party hard. So Connor drank with them and smocked marijuana with them, and took an ecstasy pill. "It was just a little candy" Connor thought. The more he thought about it the more he realized it was a drug, and then he remembered the long lectures his dad had about drugs. Connor was not allowed to accept any drug from anyone except a doctor. Connor was starting to get a little worried that the doctor would find out what he did and would tell his dad. Connor had a bad feeling that his dad was going to find out what he did. Angel noticed his son pacing around looking nervous.

"Hey Connor come sit with me." Angel said as he motioned his son to sit with him. Connor slowly walked to where his father was seated and sat down quietly next to him. A concerned Angel looked over at his son and asked him. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing" Was all Connor said. Angel was about to ask Connor if he was sure but the nurse stepped out of the office and called Connor's name out loud. "Connor Angel!" Connor was hoping to see a sexy nurse like the ones in Gunn's magazines but this one was the opposite she was fat and manly. Connor and Angel followed the nurse into the examination room.

"Hello Connor, my name's Louis and I'll be your nurse today, please have a seat on the examination table." Louis motioned Connor to sit on the examination table. As Connor sat on the table Louis went to the cabinet behind him and she started to gather some implements on a tray for the doctor. Louis then put the tray next to where Connor was seated.

"I'm going to take your blood pressure now." Louis told Connor and did just that.

"Good your blood pressure's normal, let's get you weighed and find out your height now." Louis said as she motion Connor to follow her to the scale. Connor went and took off his shoes before stepping on the scale. "Good, you've gained a little weight since your last visit now your 139 pounds but your still underweight try gaining some more weight." Then Louis took Connor's height. "You've gotten taller as well your now 5 feet and 10 inches, that's about an inch taller from before. "Now hop back on the examination table I'm now going to draw some blood." After Louis was done drawing blood from Connor she said "The doctor will be in shortly." Louis said as she exited the examination room.

Connor sat quietly with his right arm that had blood drawled from it folded up. Angel was about to ask Connor if he was alright again but Dr. Herb Leroy then entered the examination room. "Good Evening Connor, Mr. Angel."

Dr. Leroy then started to look over Connor's chart. "Connor I see your still underweight." The doctor said concerned as he walked over to one of his cabinets and pulled out a bottle of nutrition vitamins. The doctor then handed it to Angel and said "He needs to take one of these before every meal."

"O.k. thanks Doctor." Angel said as he accepted the bottle.

The doctor now asked. "Connor you're going to take a physical now would you like your father to stay or go?"

"I don't care." Connor answered.

"O.k. well let's get started I'm going to start by asking you some personal questions, have you been sexually active recently?" Dr. Leroy asked.

Connor wasn't expecting this, he was starting to regret on letting his father stay, Connor never planned on having sex with that girl it just happened he was drunk and she was drunk, Connor knew it was not a good idea to lie to his doctor but also he didn't want Angel to find out so he panicked and said "No." Connor was staring at a poster on the wall as he lied he could never look at someone and lie to them and Angel knew this, Angel got a little worried when he noticed the way Connor answered the doctor's question he even noticed how Connor's heartbeat started to beat faster as he answered the doctor's question. When Connor looked over at Angel he noticed he didn't look too happy.

"Have you abused on any drugs?" The doctor then asked.

Connor couldn't believe this was happening to him, he already knew Angel knew he lied before he couldn't lie again; he was in enough trouble as it was but the truth would put him in deeper trouble with his father so he tried to calm himself down a little and try to look like he was answering "honestly."

"No." Connor tried to do his best impression of an angel but unfortunately for Connor his father didn't buy the act. Angel just wanted to rattle Connor at this point but he contained himself, he was going to have a serious long talk with his son that was for sure.

The doctor was about to ask Connor another question but the Louis, the nurse from earlier rushed into the room. "Doctor I have an eight year old boy in the waiting room having a nasty seizer."

"I have to go, please reschedule the physical with the receptionist." Dr. Leroy said as he rushed out with the nurse.

Angel was very upset with Connor he just did as the doctored had asked and rescheduled an appointment with the receptionist and headed outside to his car with Connor in toe. Connor was a little worried that his dad hadn't said a word to him since they were in the examination room; he knew his dad was probably really angry with him at the moment. Connor felt really bad that he let his father down, "He might never trust me again." Connor thought as he entered his father's car. The ride home was in dead silence, every once in a while Connor would look over to his father and tried to say something anything but the words failed to come out when he saw how angry his father looked and how his father's knuckles were turning whiter from holding the steering wheel too tight. Connor hated feeling like this he was really starting to miss how he felt after he took a hit of any drug. Connor still had three pills left over from the other night; Connor had it hidden in one of his drawers. Before Connor knew it they were parked in front of the hotel, Connor just followed a very silent brooding Angel into the hotel.

Once inside the hotel Connor finally took up the nerve to say something to Angel. "Dad I'm-" Angel didn't want to hear what Connor had to say at the moment so he cut him off and said coldly "Connor Not Right Now, just go to your room." Connor saw the hurt and anger in Angel's eyes. Connor was really upset as he went up to his room he felt like crying it really hurt him that Angel didn't even want to hear what he had to say but he kind of understood, he let his father down, he was scared that his father may never forgive him. Once Connor was in his room he just lied down on his bed and put his face into his pillow.

Downstairs Angel was seated in his office he was very angry with his son he couldn't talk to him right now he was scared he'd say something he'd regret later. Angel couldn't believe that Connor had lied, he thought Connor knew better. Angel decided that Connor could not be trusted to go out alone for the time being. Angel was going to have a long talk with his son. Once Angel calmed down some and finished brooding he started his way up to Connor's room. As Angel entered his son's room he found his son sprawled on his bed with his head smothered into his pillow.

"Connor sit up we need to talk." Angel said as he got Connor's desk chair and rolled it over to the side of Connor's bed and had a seat. When Connor made no attempt to move Angel yelled sternly. "Now!" Connor then sat up and Angel noticed that Connor's eyes were a little bloodshot from crying. Connor tried not making eye contact with Angel, Connor felt so ashamed, he just stared down at his comforter.

"Starting right now you're grounded from everything especially hunting demons." Angel said sternly.

"No, you can't! I need to-" Connor was cut by an angry Angel "What you need to do is to start obeying what I tell you to do." Angel said sternly.

Connor was starting to get angry at this point he couldn't believe his father was grounding him from hunting, he could never just stop hunting.

"I know you lied to the doctor today, lets start with the first question when did you start being sexually active, I thought you were going to come to me when you felt you were ready to have sex?" Angel asked Connor.

Connor really didn't want to talk about this he knew it would only get him in deeper trouble but he just wanted to get it over with so he nervously got straight to the point.

"Ah…. Um…Well… a few days ago I…um went out with some friends and they…like to…drink…and smoke…and do drugs, well me and this girl got really…close.. once we started drinking she started to kiss me and we ended up in a bed, I don't really remember a lot of what happened." Connor said nervously to his father.

"Did you at least use protection?" Angel asked hoping pretty badly that Connor used protection.

"I don't think I did." Connor said as he stared into his comforter.

Angelcursed to himself then asked"Did you only drink or did you use drugs as well?"

Connor hated this conversation right now.

"Um……yeah a little." Connor mumbled.

"What did you take?" Angel said with anger evident in his voice now.

Connor thought it would be smart just to mention that he smoked and not that he took a pill.

"I smoked weed." Connor answered.

"I am so disappointed in you Connor I thought you knew better, you better not do any of this shit again believe me you will deeply regret it is that understood?." Angel said sternly trying to scare Connor not to do it again.

"Yeah." Connor answered not fazed by what Angel told him.

Connor felt like his father's trust in him was probably over for good.

"You don't have any drugs in here do you?" Angel asked.

Connor quickly said "No."

Angel couldn't tell if Connor was lying or not he answered him too quickly. Angel got up from his chair and sat next to Connor on the bed and looked at Connor in the eyes and asked calmly. "You are not lying to me right?" Those words sent chills down Connor's back. Connor tried to look away but his dad grabbed his chin and forced Connor to look at him in the eyes.

"You are not lying to me right?" Angel asked again, sternly this time. Connor felt helpless at this point he didn't know what to do. Angel took Connor's silence as an answer.

"Give me whatever drugs you have now." Angel ordered sternly.

Connor was not going to give up his pills so as he pulled his chin out of Angel's grasp he yelled. "I don't have any drugs!" Connor was getting frustrated he wanted to be left alone now.

Angel glared at Connor and said "I don't know what's gotten into you Connor, your drinking and doing drugs behind my back, your lying, and now your raising your voice at me young man."

"Look… I'm sorry o.k.…… I'm sorry for everything; I'm tired right now can we finish this tomorrow?" Connor asked pleadingly.

"Fine." Angel said as he got up from the bed and made his way out f his son's room. Angel also needed time to cool off, he found himself very angry again.

Connor was so relived once his father left his room. Connor felt miserable,he got off of his bed and went and opened one of his drawers and pulled out a small bag containing three very powerful pills, he took one of the pills out of the bag and hide the bag back in his drawer. Connor then went into his bathroom popped the pill into his mouth and washed it down with his faucet's water. In spite of his father Connor then snuck out of his window and went out into the night to kill as many demons as he possibly could. The further Connor walked the more weird he felt, any light he saw was hypnotizing to himthen he started to feel a rush of happiness.

Back at the hotel in the lobby Angel and Cordelia were seated on a sofa having a deep conversation about Connor. "I just don't know what to do." Angel said sadly. Cordelia then suddenly had a vision, it had Connor being thrown around by a big reptilian demon, Connor was bleeding a lot he had deep gashes on his body.

"What happened what did you see?" Angel said as he got up from the couch.

"Oh my God Angel, it was Connor he was hurt! I think you still have time if you hurry he was about twelve blocks south of here in an alley I believe by 15th street." Cordelia franticly said.

Angel hurriedly got a weapon out of weapons chest and ran out of the hotel to save his son from getting injured.
