Summary: Cordelia struggles not to blurt out her true feelings for Angel.


"God Angel, I wonder if we had a baby would he look as cute as Connor does."

"What was that Cordelia?" Angel looked over at her from the opposite side of the room where he was feeding Connor his bottle.

It was hard, seeing him every day and not being able to kiss and touch him the way she did that night at the ballet. Seeing him with Connor only made these feelings stronger. And sometimes, like now, the truth just slipped out.

She laughed it off, playing nonchalant.

"I was just kidding. Your face was priceless." As an actress, she was quite sure he'd buy it despite the fact her voice was high-pitched as it sometimes gets when she lies. He raised a brow but turned away nevertheless. She breathed a sigh of relief.

All you hear is, "mmmm mmmm". Gonna button my lips,so the truth don't slip. Gotta beep out what I really wanna shout.Whoops, did I say it out loud?Did you find out?I wanna have your babies.Get serious like crazy.I wanna have your babies. I see 'em springing up like daisies. –- Natasha Bedingfield 'I Wanna Have You Babies'


Authors Note: So far, this is a one-shot but I may be inspired to write a follow-up chapter if I get another review.
