Chapter Two: Generations
Angel looked from his son, to the little boy snuggled up and sleeping in his arms then to his own new arrivals "Okay, what is going on here?" he asked not that people coming back from the dead or popping up from the past was overly uncommon for the members of AI.
"Err, I don't know exactly, but Rafferty..." he gestured to the child in his arms with his head "turned up on campus out of the blue" he didn't mention who Rafferty was, but he knew that there would be questions and he wasn't disappointed.
"And who is he exactly?" Angel asked, but his nose was telling him that the kid was family; his scent was very similar to Connor's, so similar that it could only mean that they close blood relatives, Connor shuffled nervously "umm, well he's my arr, my son" he admitted.
There were looks of confusion shared by the rest of the team, all of them trying to figure out how Connor had a son and when it had happened. "Explain" Angel demanded of his son, the teen sighed "can I put him down somewhere first he's kind of heavy".
Angel indicated the round sofa behind him "you can put him there, but then you've got some explaining to do" Connor nodded, walking over to the indicated seat, lay his son down and sat next to him.
"Well you know Quor-Toth is a different world to this one, and there are lots of demons and stuff, which I guess is not that different to LA"... "But anyway there was this, ah, kind of seductress demon called Trishna and she was well seductive" Connor continued awkwardly to tell the story.
"And even though I was only eleven I was unable to resist her" he went on despite the many exclamations of "Eleven?" from his father and his friends "see Trishna and her kind mate with human males to make more of their kind, as they are a female only species" he continued "so when she gave birth to our son a week later, their pregnancies don't last like ours, anyway when she saw she had birthed a human son and not a seductress daughter she got pissed and tried to kill him, then I guess she was going to do me too".
"But from the moment I saw him, I felt a tug of, well I didn't know it then but a tug of love and a burning desire to protect my baby" he kept explaining "I raised him until he was five, he was a stubborn and strong kid, kind of like me I guess, I don't know what happened after that" Connor finished.
Kathy spoke up "he was alone for a long time after you left and scared, but then the powers brought us together, they told us we were special and that big plans were in place for the three of us, and for other children still in the world" she told them.
There was a shocked silence "so this is all part of some PTB plan?" Gunn asked no one in particular, there was no reply.
"Bloody hell, well things around here just got interesting didn't they?" Spike said and there were many nods and murmurs of agreement from the rest of the team.
"And they are about to get even more interesting" said a beautiful blond woman standing in the lobby entrance, a little girl's hand in her own "Mama, where we?" the petit child asked the woman curiously.
There was an incredulous chorus of "Mama?"
A/N: I know it's short, and to be honest the little girl totally wrote herself into the story, I had nothing to do with it =D any guesses on who Mama is? Hopefully the next chapter will be longer and that you all enjoyed the new instalment. Any requests are appreciated.
