AtS Season 3, After 'Provider' before 'WITW'

C/A friendship, thoughts

'Wes are you sure this will work?'

'Of course Angel, if it doesn't you can always threaten to decapitate them'

Angel looked at Wesley, no emotion, nothing.

'Well this spell might work, it alters memories'

Angel turned from Wesley and headed towards the Hotel's sewer entrance.

'Thanks Wes'

'You're welcome Angel'

'Can I help you sir?'

'Yes, I'd like to register my son's birth'

'Ok sir, please could you fill in these forms'

Angel looked at the forms with dread.

I hate paperwork

'Here all filled out'

'Excuse Mr….Angel, you also need the child's mother to fill in her details if you aren't married'

'She, Cordelia, is in hospital, she's very sick'

'Why don't you take this and get her to fill it in and sign it when she's better'

'Thank you miss'

'Hey Cordy, could you sign this?'

'What is it?, am I signing away my soul or something?'

Angel gave Cordy a "Don't be stupid look".

'It's for Connor, I want you to be his erm trustee for his trust fund'

'O-kay'

'Sign here, here and here'

'Thanks Cordy'

'Hello again sir'

'I got the forms all signed'

'Thank you Mr Angel, here is your son's birth certificate and congratulations to the both of you'

'Thanks'

Angel turned and began walking to the exit.  Suddenly he turned.

'Excuse me miss, do you know any good framing stores around here?'

'Angel, ANGEL!, there's a package that needs signing for'

'Coming Fred'

'It's not for me, it's for Cordy'

'What's for me?'

'This package, you need to sign for it'

'I bet it's evil' Cordelia whispered

'Aren't ya gonna open it?' asked Fred excitedly

'I'll open it later'

Cordelia sat at her desk staring at the package.

Ok Chase, steady, steady

Cordelia began tearing open the package.  As she looked at what was inside, she bought her hand to her mouth and gasped.

'Oh Angel'

Angel stood watching Cordelia as a slow smile crept onto his lips.
