Note: I kinda had this idea after I read another story so it might sound familiar, and don't hate me for using the other story.
Feedback: Yes, and I know my grammar sucks. But still review.
It was a quite evening at the Hyperion hotel. Cordelia Chase was putting Connor down for a bath. Cordelia was sitting in her and Angel's bedroom flipping through a magazine. She heard a loud banging downstairs. She cautious went down the stairs. She was surprised be what she saw.
Four exhausted fighters walked through the doors. Angel was yelling at Spike for an unknown reason, but knowing Spike he deserved it. She went down to check the warriors.
"Hey Cordy," Faith said as she walked towards her.
"Hey Faith," Cordy said to her friend as she took the sword and looked over at Angel.
"Why is angel yelling at spike and what does he have in his hands." She asked.
Just then they heard angel's echo off the hotel walls. He yelled "Spike I told you not to bring that damn thing home."
"What, this is a fricken huge gem, what bloody idiot would leave in the alley for some sleazy blonde hooker to find it." Spike said
The minute the word gem was said Cordelia rushed over for a closer inspection.
Faith laughed at her friend's anxiousness over the gem. As Cordelia caught sight of the gem she said to angel "You were going to leave this in the alley." Her eyes still focused on the gem.
"But… the last time I brought a demon head home you called me a barbaric dork." Angel whined defensively.
"Pftt, did that demon have a gem on his head. I don't think so. This gem is expensive and I know expensive. All we have to do is remove it from the demon's head, Right?" Cordy said as she took a better look at the gem
Faith walked over to Cordy and asked with a grin "I thought the greedy bitch was long gone."
Cordy turned to Faith with a smirk on her face, "hey I might have gone soft but the bitch is still here." She turned her head and asked "hey who needs to get patched up."
Spike dropped the head on the counter and went into the kitchen to get some blood to drink. Cordelia took the first aid kit and went to patch Angel up who as usual had the most injuries.
Faith glanced over at Angel "Angel you either getting slow in your old days or you just like Cordelia crawling all over you." She said with a smug look
"No," he said defensively glad vamps can't blush, "I was busy looking after y'all." The gang gave him a disbelieving look.
After Cordelia patched angel up she took his hand and the two headed up the stairs to check on Connor. Wesley went back into his office to finish his call with his girlfriend Anne and both Fred and Gunn went to go check out the new taco place.
When Spike came back to the room Faith already had her favorite knife in her hand trying to cut the gem out of the demons head.
"You know luv seeing you with a sharp knife cutting a gem out of an ugly demon is real sexy." Spike said to Faith as he walked up next to her.
After Faith finally got the gem out she turned to Spike knife still in hand. "What can I say I know how to please a man." She said smirking
Spike "You certainly do." And wrapped his pale arms around Faiths tan ones. Not five minutes back and they were already making out. To a casual observer they wouldn't look like a couple who has been dating for the past six months. But the passion they had in the beginning still was going on strong.
'Eww uncle Spike and Aunt Faith are kissing." Connor said as he ran down the stairs. Cordelia and Angel coming down after him.
"Yes that is gross." Cordelia said as she looked over at the two lovers.
"Hey you and Angel do it all the time. And don't even get me started on your "Training sessions'.' Faith said after finally breaking contact with Spikes lips.
"Hey watch the language in front of my child." Angel said
"Don't worry Angel I'm old enough to hear this." Spike said with a smirk
"I meant my son." Angel said with an eye roll which he learned from Cordelia. It seems with a family this close you tend to pick up on each others stuff. This scared Angel a little. He loved Cordelia and was honored to have her mother to his child but he didn't want Connor to much like Cordelia.
Spike took the gem off the counter and showed it to Connor. "Hey little man, look what I found."
Connor looked wide eyed at the gem" It's pretty can I see it."
Spike looked at Connor at all serious "you are seeing"
Connor looked at Spike like he was stupid "NOOOO I mean can I hold it."
Spike looked Surprise" Oh why didn't you say so" he said as he gave Connor the gem.
"Now Connor you have to be very careful with that." Cordelia said
"I will, I promise." Connor said grinning from ear to ear. He got to hold the pretty gem.
"Can I take it to my room?" Connor asked and gave his mom the puppy dog look Angel taught him.
"Okay but put it on the counter when you go to sleep and no trying to bust it open" Cordelia said.
"Okay." Connor said with a sigh he really did want to see if there was anything in it.
"Well that's settled. I'm going to beat you to your room, Connor." Faith said and bolted up the stairs.
"That's not fair" Connor said and ran after her laughing. He had the gem securely in his hand.
"I'm going to help tuck in Connor and make sure he doesn't try to eat the gem." Cordelia said and headed up the stairs.
Spike and Angel watched as the two women they loved more than anything vanish up the stairs.
Spike turned to Angel "How the hell did we get so lucky."
Angel shook his head "I have no idea, but they really are a miracle."
Spike "Yep."
Meanwhile in Connors bedroom.
Faith is sitting on Connors bed with him telling him about why he couldn't eat the gem. Connor had a huge appetite a skill he picked up from his Aunt Fred and ate everything. He also had a particular taste for hair gel, which Angel hated. Angel would find half his gel gone and immediately knew who it was.
Cordelia walked in and sat down next to faith. "Connor you want to go to bed now."
Connor "I'm not tired." Connor said and focused his attention on the gem.
Cordelia turned to Faith and said "Didn't that demon look familiar."
Faith "Yea I think so, umm. Wait didn't we see it in Sunnydale once."
Cordelia "Sunnydale was not my favorite time I block out everything associated with it."
Connor "What's Sunnydale?"
Cordelia turned to Connor "It is a place where whole bunch of bad things are. And it's
where me, your dad, Uncle Spike, Uncle Wes and Faith met."
Faith "Geeze Cor give him nightmares why don't you."
Cordelia put on an innocent look "What? Even I get nightmares from Sunnydale."
Connor was too transfixed to notice the conversation surrounding him. He knew his mom said not to break it but he wanted to know what was inside. He looked at the desk next to him and thought that would work.
Cordelia "Sunnydale, California in 1998 was not my funnest times." As she said that
Connor broke the gem and a red light filled the room.
Cordelia and Faith yelled "Connor" Before getting in engulfed by the light.
