Summary: With the birth of Angel's child, could this be the eye opener that everyone needs.
Okay, this is a collaborated piece by myself angeliccordy and jilly_bean6, the first one that we have written, so here's the first chapter. Enjoy.
Chapter One
Angel starred at the baby lying on the ground. His baby, his son. It had long since
stopped raining and the baby lay crying on the ground. Not knowing of what to do, Angel wrapped the baby up in his duster and held him close. It was then that the Cordelia climbed out of the car and cautiously approached him.
'Angel?'
He looked up at her and she noticed the baby in his arms. Slowly approaching him, he
turned the baby towards her who had now stopped crying. Resting a hand on Angel's shoulder they looked down at his son.
'He's beautiful.' she said pulling the duster away a little to get a better look.
'I have a son.' He looked up at her.
'We should get back to the car, we don't want him catching a cold.' she slowly led him
and the baby towards the rest of the group waiting in the convertible.
Gunn sat in the driver seat with Fred in the middle and Wesley on the other side. They all turned to Angel as he and Cordy got in the car carrying the baby.
'Oh wow, he's so cute.' exclaimed Fred.
Angel smiled down at his son as Fred, Wesley and Gunn all turned in their seats to get a better look. Gunn leaned over his seat and started making baby noises along with Wesley who had now joined in.
'Hey little guy, I'm your uncle Gunn, and when you grow up, I'm gonna teach you how to make your very own axe using only a pole and a hubcap.'
'And I'm your uncle Wesley, I'll be here to teach you everything you need to know when it comes to researching demons.'
Cordy, Angel and Fred all looked towards Wesley and Gunn, the look on their faces showed what they were thinking 'there's no way your gonna teach him that.'
Feeling slightly embarrassed, they turned around in their seats and Gunn started the car.
'Maybe we should go shopping for the little guy, I mean I don't think he's gonna like O Pos.' Then remembering that this child was born out of two vampires he questioned again.
'As far as we know right?'
'He's right Angel, we're gonna need diapers and baby formula. He gonna need clothes and a crib.' Said Cordy.
'Right, we should head into town, there should be a few stores open at this time of night.'
Gunn pulled away from the curb and they headed into town.
On arriving back at the hotel a little before dawn, they placed the items they had bought on the front desk, which now resembled one of the many baby stores they had visited.
Fred picked up one of the baby books they had purchased and started reeling off information about baby's first check up.
'Angel, it says here that he's gonna need his newborn check up, a vitamin K shot, and a PKU test.
'I'll take him in, in a few hours, he's still tired, Cordy can drive.' Angel said still holding his son.
'Here lets get him dressed and give him something to eat.' Said Cordy, leading Angel and the baby up to his room, carrying all the things they needed.
They placed the baby on the bed while Cordy opened a packet of diapers and Angel sorted out his baby grow.
'Right then little guy, lets see if we can pry you away from daddy for two minutes so we can change you.' Said Cordy.
'Pry him away?'
'Angel, you haven't put the kid down since he was born.' Angel, thinking this over, realised Cordy was right. She hadn't even held his son yet.
'Sorry Cordy, you haven't held him yet have you?' he said as they put the diaper and baby grow on.
'It's okay Angel, I get it, you're his father, Darla is his mother…'
'Was.'
They both sat on the bed side-by-side, and looked at each other.
'And now this little guy is gonna grow up without a mom.' Angel saw the look of sadness on her face. Was she feeling left behind or unwanted?
'Cordy, your more of a mother to him than Darla will ever be. Sure she carried and gave birth to him, but your going to be the one to take care of him. Change him when he needs it. Bandage his knee if he falls. Your going to be the one he gives his finger paintings to, to hang on the fridge. Your going to be the one to sing to him when he's tired or afraid, and most of all, your going to be the one to love him. And he's going to love you to. All of these are things that Darla can never do and things that can never be taken away from you.'
A tear slid down Cordy's cheek as what Angel was saying to her began to sink in. She wasn't being left out or replaced, if anything this meant that Angel wanted and needed her around as much as she did him.
'You are gonna be here, for all of that right, your not leaving me…uh us, right?' Angel said suddenly panicked that he had said all of this, and she would be leaving.
'No Angel, I'm not going anywhere.' She said smiling, wiping away the tear.
'Come here.' He said as he pulled her into a hug.
'And before you ask Cordy, I meant every word of it.'
'How did you…?'
'Because I know you.' Smiling they turned their attention towards the baby.
'So have you thought of any names yet?'
'Yeah, Connor.'
'It's a beautiful name. Hey Connor.' She said putting her finger in his hand that lightly gripped her.
'Now, to feed you, Connor.' Said Angel as the bottle already made rested on the table.
Cordy and Angel placed Connor between them as the lay down on the bed, and Angel checked the temperature of the bottle and then began to feed his son.
'He's certainly going to have a strange live isn't he?' said Cordy looking at Connor.
'Yeah, but, he'll still get to do all the regular growing up stuff, first tooth, first step, first haircut, first day at school.'
'Sure, and when you Shanshu, we can take him for picnic's on the beach, for which we'll have to buy you those plaid shirts, we can fly kites and go paddling and build sand castles.' She said yawning.
'Yeah, and go on holiday. Where'd you want to go?' asked Angel quietly as he to became tired. They where both at a near whisper now.
'How about a ski condo in Aspen?' she asked.
'I like a ski condo.'
Connor finished his bottle and the three of them feel asleep. Angel, arm across his son and Cordy, keeping them both safe from the world for a peaceful nights sleep.
Cordelia was having the best dream. She was as sitting on a beach somewhere, possibly Malibu, enjoying the sun and watching Connor play in front of her.
'Connor, don't run off too far, stay here where I can see you.' Cordy called over to the toddler who was running around in a circle collecting seashells.
'Okay, mommy.' Connor called back to Cordy.
'Hey.' Said Angel as he sat behind Cordelia and placed his arm around her and ran a trail of kisses along her shoulder.
'Hey yourself. Did you get Connor the ice cream?'
'Right here.' He said holding the cone of soft fluffy goodness in front of her face and putting a dab on her nose.
'Hey, that's cold.'
'Here, let me get that.' Said Angel leaning around and licking the ice cream off her nose, and placed a delicate kiss on her lips.
'Good ice cream?'
'The best. I love you.'
'I love you too.' She said smiling, as they called Connor and he sat down and ate his ice cream.
'I love you too.' Said Cordy in her sleep. Angel half awake, looked up to Cordy who was still asleep. Not knowing whether or not Cordy had said anything at all he put it down to his sleepy ness and snuggled back down.
