"Ok, so explain this to me again." Angel asked a very excited Lorne. "You love Cordelia. You have
kerumption, I read it when you were reading." Lorne looked at Angel, waiting for him to thank him
for telling him what he wanted to hear. What Lorne then heard from Angel confused him a little.
"Ok, first question, what is kerump-whatever you said? Second question, how did you get that when
I was reading? I thought you can only read people when they sing." Angel was very confused right
now.
"I can read you when ever you concentrate because I've read before. As for the kerumption,
kerumption is two warriors coming together. You and Cordelia." Lorne pointed out.
Angel was pretty confused. Yes, him and Cordelia are close now, but in love? He knew he was
lonely and she did help with Connor. So maybe it wont be all that bad to love her.
Just then Connor walks in the Hyperion lobby. Humming a happy tune. This was weird for both
Angel and Lorne. For two different reasons, Angel was a little curious about why he was so happy.
Lorne was shocked by what he was reading from the very happy teen. Angel caught the very
shocked and confused look on Lorne. "You ok, Lorne. I mean, I know it is weird to see Connor in a
happy mood, but is it really that bad?"
This caught Lorne off guard. "What? Oh…no, I was just uh…thinking. Um…I have to go." Lorne
practically ran out of the hotel. Leaving a very confused vampire, and a very confused, but happy,
teen. "So, Connor, why are you so cheerful today?" Angel asked Connor. He wouldn't admit it to
anyone else, but he was a little scared about his son going out by himself. Everyone knows Connor
hasn't been the best-behaved child around.
"I just talked to this most wonderful girl at the park. Her name is Michelle, and I got her number. And
you know what…I think I am going to give her a call right now." He said excitedly, as he bounced up
the stairs to his room. Angel just sighed in relief and smiled to himself as he watched his now happy
son go up to his room.
Later that night, Angel was seating up in his room thinking over his last conversation with Lorne.
Looking down at the picture in his hand. Debating in his head whither or not he was really in love
with Cordelia. It would be nice to have someone by his side. Being alone for so long can make
anyone crave affection. Angel kept wondering, what his realationship with Cordelia was. He never
even considered being in love with Cordelia until Lorne said something. Angel did hear it from Fred,
but she really didn't know them so he didn't really think about that. Angel decided to try and get
some sleep. Just when he was almost asleep, Connor comes in.
"Dad, you awake?" He whispered into the dark. Angel turned on the light and faced his son.
Forcing down a yawn, he said, "No, no, what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing, Lorne is back, and he said he needed to talk to you, ASAP." He answered him,
sounding pretty mad.
Angel notices how Connor was back to his normal, broody self. "Are you…" pausing, Angel debated
whither or not he should ask what was wrong, Probably had something to do with that girl. Best to
change the subject. "Do you know what Lorne wants?" Angel asked while he put his shirt on.
"No." Connor said in a very bored tone.
"Ok, lets go."
They walked out the door and went down the stairs. Angel was a little worried about what Lorne is
going to say. Angel has a feeling that it has something to do with when Lorne ran out of the hotel
earlier that day.
"Lorne, What is it. Connor said you wanted to talk to me." Angel was really tired so he hoped
whatever he was going to say, wont keep him wired up.
Lorne looked pretty worried, "Yeah, but first, Connor, can you please leave us to talk?" Lorne
asked as nicely as he could. Knowing Connor would probably get upset.
Connor does get a little mad. " What? Why? Are you going to talk about me? If you are then I am
going to stay."
"Connor, please just lease so I can talk to Lorne, I promise to talk to you about it later." Angel
asked. Whatever Lorne has to say must be important. Lorne never tells Connor to leave. He always
talks about trying to include him in everything.
"Whatever. I have better things to do anyways."
Angel and Lorne wait until Connor leaves. Angel looks at Lorne a little annoyed. "Ok, What is so
damn important, that you had to kick Connor out."
"Well, the fact that it has something to do with Connor."
"Oh, no. What did he do?" Angel got really worried. Thinking the worse.
"Oh, its nothing bad." Angel sighed. "Well, actually, its kind of weird." Lorne paused. Trying to find
the right words to tell Angel. So he doesn't freak out.
"You remember this morning, when we were talking and then Connor came in Humming, right? "
"Yeah, how can I forget? Only time I have ever seen Connor look happy. You freaked out." Lorne
acted offended. "Well it was weird. Anyways, I decided to try to read him, just to see what got him all
happy." At Angels angry look, Lorne says " Don't look at me that way. I know you said not to read
him, but I was really curious and you will be glad that I read him after I tell you what I saw."
"Ok, so, what did you see." Angel asked impatiently.
"I'm getting there. Chill out. So I went to a friend of mine who knows everything, I mean everything!"
"So…"
"What did I say about being patient?" When Lorne noticed that he wasn't going to interrupt again,
he continued. "Anyways, You will never believe what he told me." Angel raised an eyebrow waiting.
"He told me about Connor's real mother." Lorne then saw Angel about to speak. "Hey! No
interruptions. Ok so he talked about Connor's Mom, I asked what this had to do with Darla. He didn'
t even know who she was. He told me that the mom is very much alive and really human. He also
said that she was really powerful." Lorne let this sink in before he let the real bomb drop. When he
saw Angel's eyes widen, he continued. "Ok, you ready to find out the name of the real mom?"
Angel kind of had a feeling of who it was, but didn't know how. He just waited for Lorne to confirm
his suspicions.
"Its Buffy." Angel just sat there in shock. Not quite believing what Lorne just said. Even though he
kind of saw it coming.
"What…Are…Are you sure this guy is for real." Angel needed to be absolutely sure before he did
anything.
"I promise. This guy is like the connection to the Powers That Be. He told me it had something to
do with some temporal fold (The Forgotten Day). He said the Powers couldn't destroy an innocent
so they just kind of kept him until the next time you had sex. So when you slept with Darla, they just
implanted him into her.
Angel was completely shocked. How was he going to tell Buffy? Or Connor. Should he even tell
her? She probably wont even believes him.
"Should I tell Buffy?" asking Lorne for advice was always a good idea. "I think you should tell
Connor first." Or not "Are you sure? He will probably be mad." Angel said uncertain. He wasn't
exactly sure how his son was going to react to the news that Darla isn't his mom. "Well, if you want
my advise, I think you should tell Connor right now, the sooner, the better. And I really don't think
he will be mad. Shocked, sure, but not mad. I think if he finds out that he was made out of love and
not hate, it will make him feel better. Don't you feel better, knowing you have a son with the love of
your life." Lorne was trying to get Angel to see the good in this.
"You know what Lorne, your right. I should tell him, then maybe we can take a trip to Sunnydale to
tell Buffy. They should meet. That is if Buffy doesn't kill me first. She wont be all to thrilled to find
out that I slept with Darla. Angel pointed out to Lorne. " "Ok, so I am going to tell Connor about
Buffy. Then we will go to Sunnydale." Angel decided to plan everything out before he made the trip
back to Sunnydale. He wasn't even sure if Connor would want to go.
"No!" Cordelia came into the room Screaming. "You cant just go back to her. Why would you go
and tell her about Connor. She would probably just blame you and try to kill you." She did not want
to him go back to that bitch. She knew she would lose Angel to her once again.
"Cordelia? Were you there the whole time?" He was quite surprised to see that Cordelia was
eavesdropping.
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it. I just don't think it is a good idea to tell Buffy. Or Connor. I mean,
how good of a mother would she be. She is the slayer!" Cordelia was trying to tell Angel the bad in
telling Buffy. "She will only get him killed. Besides, she doesn't know how to raise a teenager. I am
definitely a better mother figure to Connor. Another thing I need to add, I don't think it is a good
idea to tell Connor, you will probably just traumatize the kid."
Angel couldn't believe what he was hearing. How could Lorne actually think he was in love with her?
"I know you don't like Buffy, but don't you ever let me hear you insult Buffy about things you know
nothing about. Buffy did an amazing job raising Dawn. I think she will be a great mother figure to
Connor. As for you, I'm sorry, but I don't think so. You are just too self-centered. Now I am done
talking to you. I am going to find my son and tell him that he has a mother that will love him with all
her heart."
As he walked up the stairs he swore he could hear Cordilea calling Buffy a Bitch. Oh well, he will
just deal with her later. First, Angel needs to tell Connor the news.
He knocked on the door. Waiting patiently. When he heard a faint 'come in' he opened the door. He
found Connor on his bed writing on a notebook.
"Hey Connor, what are you doing?"
"Nothing," Connor kept his eyes on his paper.
"Connor, can you stop writing, I have to tell you something really important."
Connor looks up at his dad. He sets his paper to the side and waits patiently for his dad to talk.
"What I am going to explain to you may take me a little while to get this all out, so please don't
interrupt."
"Ok."
"K, I guess I will just come out with it. Darla isn't your mom. She is." Angel said pointing to the
picture he handed to Connor. The only picture of Buffy that he had. "Look, I know this is a lot to
take and you are probably really confused at the moment. If you want me to explain right now, I will.
Or I can come…"
"Now." Connor interrupted. " I need you to explain it right now."
Angel can tell Connor was really confused so he tried to explain it as best as he could.
"A few years ago, I was made human. It was some demand, but that's not important right now.
Anyways, Buffy was there. I loved her so much. This was the only chance for us to be together.
Because before there was the whole curse issue." Angel tried to explain. "Later I found out that
Buffy would die if I stayed human, so I asked them to change me back. They agreed to take back
the day, but apparently she got pregnant when we were together. They couldn't destroy you so
they just help you until I slept with someone else. Do you understand."
"I think so. Let me see if you got this. Darla was only there to carry my. But she's not my mom. And
my mom is still alive. Is that right?" Angel could see that Connor was struggling with this new
information.
"Yes, but you see, I have to go to Sunnydale to tell Buffy, and I was wondering if you would like to
come with me and meet her?"
Angel asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yeah, I would love to meet her."
"Meet who? Gunn asked, as he walked into the room.
Gunn was obviously confused, so Angel quickly told him what was going on about Buffy and Darla.
After he was done, he went to leave the room. But first he turns to Gunn " would you like to go to
Sunnydale."
"Yeah, I always wanted to meet this famous slayer."
"Good." Then Angel left the room.
Gunn then turns to a still shocked Connor. "Are you ok man? I know this must be lot to take in."
"You know what? I am kind of relived." Connor said. With a smile forming on his lips.
