A second chance
This is not related to my other Angel fanfics at all.
Summary: What if Wolfram and heart had given Angel a different kind of deal. One that no only involved the office but a second chance with his son as well. The rest is a surprise.
Warning: you know me and you should also know what I will warn you about. But if your new to my stories I'll say it anyway. Spanking of a child. Don't like it don't read it. If you read it anyway don't complain or post a negative comment about it. Because it will be ignored.
A SECOND CHANCE
"Here's the offer Angel." Lilah and Angel were in the big CEO office at wolfram and heart. Angel had just seen his son on the TV. His little boy had strapped bombs to innocent people and was going to blow the mall up. Lilah had seen his reaction and was ready to make him a new offer. One that would guarantee Angel signing the contract for wolfram and heart.
" We'll take your psychopathic son over there and make it so that he'll never remember any of this. He'll get a second chance to grow up again. Only this time he can be happy about it." Lilah said.
"What's that suppose to mean? Stop being cryptic and explain." Angel demanded.
"well. What I plan to do is go to a sorcerer and get him to do a spell on young Connor there. A spell that will make things right. And will give him a chance to be happy. He won't remember his life in quor-toth. He won't remember all the same times he had there. He wont remember anything about what has happened with you or anything else. What I'm going to do is give him a chance to start over. With you as his father. And no memories from Holtz. What do you say to that?" Lilah said.
What could he say to a plan like that? It was all he had ever wanted since his son had returned. A second chance.
He wanted Connor to be happy. And if this was the only way then he would agree to it. He assumed that when she said they would do a spell on his son that it would just erase his son's memory. He should have remembered that things were never that simple with This place.
"Okay Lilah. You have yourself a deal. " Angel said.
"Good." Lilah said then picked up the phone and ordered a man into the room. She and Angel explained to him what was going on at the mall. And the man agreed he would go retrieve Connor. With Angel promising Violence if a single hair was out of place on his boy.
Two hours later…
The spell was finished and Angel had been banned from the room while it took place because apparently he was distracting the wizard. So instead he paced outside the door until the wizard came out and said "It is finished." and then disappeared.
Angel went into the room expecting to find his son where he had left him on the bed. But he wasn't there. He snatched the covers aside and starred in confusion for a minute. His son wasn't gone. He was a child! He looked like he was 7 or 8 years old. But there was no denying this was his son. He could smell him. The wizard had made his son a child. But why? He saw the boy shiver in his sleep and covered him back up instantly. Then went outside where everyone was waiting.
He went right over to Lilah and Shoved her against the wall. "That wasn't our agreement. You were suppose to erase his memory not turn him into a baby!" Angel yelled at her.
Gunn, Wesley, Fred, And Lorne all stared wide eyed at Angel.
Connor was a baby?
"What he's not a baby. He's suppose to be 6 years old. Did he make him a baby?" Lilah asked.
"6? You knew he was going to make Connor a child and you didn't tell me?" Angel growled.
"Gees keep your snarling down to a minimum you want to give the poor kid a nightmare." Lilah teased as Angel released her throat.
"so this was your plan all along? TO get that Wizard to turn my son into a little boy. What do you think he's going to do when he wakes up and finds himself little again? Did he even erase his memories?" Angel asked.
"The memories of the hell dimension he grew up in are gone. If things went well then he should wake up thinking you're his father and with new memories of his life with you and your gang. Now back to business. We stuck to our part of the deal and now. It's your turn." Lilah said as she shoved the contract toward Angel and his gang.
Angel picked up the pen and signed the paper in blood.
The rest of the team signed it naturally. With ink.
Angel heard a noise from Connor and turned towards the door.
Going into the room he saw his son wiggling in the bed. Angel could tell he was awake and went over to the side of the bed where Connor was tying to climb out from under the sheets.
Angel knew he would have to get used to the little head that popped out of the covers. His son was so small. And young. Angel had trouble believing that this was the same boy who only two hour ago was 18 years old.
6 years old. Angel thought and then was attacked as the child threw himself into Angels arms to be held. "Daddy" Amazing how that one word could make him burst into tears. But it did. He cried silently as he held onto his young son.
"Things will be different this time I promise." Angel vowed to the small boy in his arms as the child so sweetly clung to him. Even though he had no idea why his daddy was sad.
"Don't be sad daddy." Connor said to him. And Angel squeezed him tighter.
"DDDAAAAAAAADDDDY! Need to breath!" Connor rasped out.
Angel immediately loosened his hold.
"I'm sorry. Are you okay baby?" Angel asked as he looked his little boy over.
"I'm fine daddy. Look. I slept my entire nap. Can I have my cookie now?" Connor said pointing excitedly at the clock. Angel looked over at the clock as well. And then put his son on the ground only to be glared at when he stood up himself. "What?" Angel asked worried that he had done something to hurt his son.
Connor promptly kept his mouth shut hand lifted his arms up toward his daddy. Stating for Angel clearly that Connor wanted to be carried. Angel was more than happy to pick him back up. He bent down and lifted the boy. Tossing him into the air Connor squealed and giggled in joy and then Angel caught him. And carried him outside.
This was better then a second chance. His son was young again. And it was as if he had never been taken. And Angel had to be careful because in the child's mind he hadn't been taken. He had been right here with his daddy where he belonged. And had just slept through and nap and earned a cookie. This was so much better then what he had had in mind. And he was glad for once that he listened to Lilah.
What do you guys think?
