Who knows what tomorrow
brings
in a world where few
hearts survive
All I know is the way I
feel
When it's real
I keep it alive
UP WHERE WE BELONG
Buffy Sainte-Marie
-------------------------------
Sunnydale. At the
Doctor.
"No." Buffy
said staring at the doctor who had just told here what was wrong with her.
"No, it's
impossible." She said again. Shaking her head in denial.
"It's true Miss
Summers, you are 2 months pregnant."
"But it can't
be…"Buffy tried to collect her thoughts enough to try to think back. 2
months. She hadn't slept with anyone since Parker and that was more than 2
months back. How, who, when? 2 months ago she had visited Angel in LA, but they
had only talked for 5 minutes. She would have remembered if she and Angel
had slept together, wouldn't she?
"Miss
Summers?" The doctor interrupted her thoughts.
"Yeah," she
said." Still dazed.
"You can leave now,
but I would like to book another appointment with you for another examination."
"Ok." Buffy
said still confused and a bit scared. God, what if it was some kind of demon
that got her pregnant. The child could be a half demon. Buffy decided that
before she started to panic that she would visit the one person who would help
her figure out the whole mess.
------------------------------
At Giles' house 1 hours
later
"A baby?"
Giles said unbelieving after Buffy had explained her little problem with her
fatherless baby.
"Yeah" Buffy
said. "I'm expecting on"
"Baby?" Giles
said again, this time looking like he would faint anytime.
"You mean as in
a…child?"
"No as in a dog. Of
course I mean a child. I need your help." Buffy said, inside she thought
men, they are all alike.
"Oh, alright…ah,
who I mean…the father?" Giles said meekly.
"Hello." Buffy
said irritated." If I knew that I wouldn't be needing your help to find
out who he is, right?"
"Oh." Giles
said, still trying to picture Buffy as a mother, and failed when he looked at
her.
"Let's narrower it
down. Parker?"
"Nope, more than 2
moths ago."
"Angel?"
"5 minutes visit.
Hardly enough time to conceive a child and remember the curse thing."
"Ah…Xander?
Buffy just stared at
him.
"Right…hmm…anyone
else?
"No, I have only
slept with two guys in my life and you have already mention them both."
"Then I must
consult my books." Giles said. "Perhaps it's a…demon thing."
He regretted the words
as soon as he had said them.
"Thanks Giles. I'm
having a demons love child." Buffy said tears rolling down her cheeks.
"God, I'm sorry
Buffy." Giles said and pulled her into a hug.
In that moment Xander
and Willow walked in without knocking.
"Buffy is
everything alright?" Willow said concerned.
"No, I'm
pregnant." Buff said muffled in Giles arms.
"What…who...Giles?"
Xander said looking furious at Giles.
"Don't be ridicules
Xander". Giles said.
"Then who?" Willow
said looking at Buffy who pulled herself from Giles arms.
"I don't
know." Buffy confessed.
"Parker?"
Xander asked, and wondered in a split second if murder really was wrong.
"No." Buffy
said.
"How far are
you?" Willow asked.
"2 months."
Buffy answered.
Xander did a quick
counting in his mind. "You slept with Angel? How could you? How come he
hasn't come and killed anyone of us yet. God we must curse him again."
Xander looked like he both was going to explode and faint.
"Xander, I haven't
slept with Angel." Buffy said patiently. "At least I don't think
so." She said confused.
"What do you
mean?" Giles asked her.
"I don't know, I
know I only visit him for around 5 minutes, but sometimes I have dreams, and in
them I was with Angel longer and he was…"
Buffy voice trailed of.
"He was what?"
Willow asked.
"Human, he was
human." Buffy said with an absent voice.
"Buffy that is
impossibly." Giles.
"Is it?" Buffy
said. "Who can it be instead?"
"Well, it could
be…" Giles silenced, he had no idea.
"Precisely."
Buffy said and walked toward the front door."
"Hey, where you
going?" Xander asked.
"To see Angel, and
to get some explanations
-----------------------------
Later that evening in LA
Angel walked around,
brooding in LA, when he heard a sound behind him. Preparing to find a vamp or a
demon, he spun around to find the slayer standing with her arm crossed and
staring at him angry.
"Buffy." Angel
said surprised.
"Angel."
Buffy simply said, still staring angry at him.
"What is
wrong?" Angel asked her worried.
"You tell me."
Buffy said.
"What?" Angel
said confused.
"I'm
pregnant." Buffy said and before Angel could say anything. " 2
months pregnant."
"2 months."
Angel stared at her. It's impossibly he though, it can't be.
"I just want to
know one thing Angel. Are you the father?" Buffy said and dug her blue
eyes into his deep brown.
Angel stared at her for
a moment before he answered.
"Yes, I'm the
father."
-----------------------
Later in Angel's
kitchen.
"So you telling me
that you were human, but then decided to change back to a vampire?"
"Yeah that's pretty
much summoned it up." Angel said
"Are you
nuts?" Buffy said with disbelief in her voice. "We had what we always
wanted and you decided that being a vampire rocked more than being human?"
"I did it to
protect you, if I would have stayed human you would had
died,"
"For God sake
Angel, I will sooner or later die, don't you know that I rather die with you in
my life than die without you?"
"Buffy, I love more
than anything in this world, and I can't think of living without you."
Angel said looking with despair into her eyes.
"Well, we have
something we must discus Angel. Buffy said.
"What?"
"The baby."
Buffy said looking straight into Angels eyes." I want him to have a
father."
"Buffy, what kind
of father would I be." Angel protested.
"A kind and loving
father." Buffy said firmly
"You need a
human…"Angel didn't have time to finish the sentence before Buffy
interrupted
"You said that the
oracles turned back time to make you human?"
"Yes."
"Well tell me where
to find them and I will make them turn you back" Buffy said determined.
"Buffy, they
won't." Angel protested
"Now." Buffy
said
Angel looked at Buffy
and gave in.
"Alright. I will
tell you where to find them."
-------------------------
At the Oracles.
"It's out of the
question." the male Oracle protested. " We will not change back Angel
just because you want to."
"It's not only I
who want and need him to be human." Buffy said calmly.
"Really? Who needs
him beside you?" The female Oracle asked curious.
"Our son or
daughter will need him."
The two Oracles looked
at each other.
"It would benefit
the child in the future as a warrior." The female
Oracle said.
"Even if it would,
we can't just change Angel back and forth anytime he wants." the male
Oracle protested.
"Think of the
possibilities." The female Oracle said.
Buffy looked nervously
at them as they debated if they should or should not turn Angel back.
Finally they turned to
her and the male Oracle addressed her.
"The reasons that
you told us for turning Angel back have made an impact with us. Your child will
be a big warrior and will need all the guiding you two can give. Angel will be
human again. When you see him again he will be as human as you are."
"Thanks you, thank
you so much." Buffy said with tears rolling down her face.
"Just don't bother
us again." The male Oracle said.
---------------------------
At Angel's apartment.
Angel walked around in
his place nervously. It had been 1 hour since Buffy left to consult the Oracles
and he was getting jitterier by the minute. Finally he heard her approach.
"Well?" He
asked her as soon as he saw her.
Buffy didn't say
anything she just walked against him and pulled him into a kiss that lasted for
a long minute.
"Wow." Was all
that Angel managed to say after the kiss ended. " It worked?"
"It worked."
Buffy said smiling. " You're human now Angel."
"Human, I can't
believe it." Angel whispered to her as pulled her into a hug.
"You know what
Angel?" Buffy said to him, enjoying the faint sound of his heart beating.
"No, what?"
"I'm really
hungry." Buffy said with a smile." Remember I'm eating for two
now."
"How could I ever
forget." Angel said caressing her flat belly with his hands. "You're
carrying our son."
"Daughter"
Buffy said playfully.
"Whatever, as long
as it's healthy"
"Yeah, how about
some Cookie-dough-fudge-mint-chip?" Buffy asked hopefully.
"You read my
mind." Angel said smiling.
----------------------------------------
In Angel's bed 1 hour
later.
"I just thought of
something Angel." Buffy said between feeding Angel with a spoon and
kissing him.
"What my
love?" Angel said where he lay against some pillows.
"I should call
Giles and the others to tell them about us."
"You know what
Buffy, let them wonder for a while, I want you here with me for at least a
week. No demon or vampires or anything will ruin that from us."
"Yeah, you're
right. Screw them." Buffy said and started to kiss him.
-------------------------------------
Sunnydale at the same
time
"She should at
least have given us a call." Giles complained.
"She's with Angel,
probably pregnant with his child, and you expect her to phone home:"
Willow said with a smile
Giles just looked at
her.
"Come on guys, it
isn't like they are sleeping with each other again." Xander said joking.
Willow and Giles just
looked at him.
"Guys?" Xander
asked confused.
"Let's go to
LA." Willow suggested.
"Great idea."
Giles said.
"I pack."
Xander said.
