So, this took forever to get back to! I did miss it though and I have a week off of school, so I hope to at least write up two more chapters. Maybe get the kids named :D That'll be fun!

Same disclaimers.

Blissful Revelations

As Fred, Gunn and Wes try and make heads of the list; Cordy sits in front her laptop trying to find any other threats. The list is considerably longer than it was just mere hours ago.

Cordy groaned as she read over the thing on the screen.

"The world is a sick and demented place. You know there are already three websites offering money for the babies?" she told them as she shook her head.

Looking over to her as he rocked the babies in his arms, Angel's face grew into further concern.

"Fred, help Cordy trace the websites."

"Right", agreed Fred as she placed the marker on the ledge of the board and walked over to the laptop.

Angel's still trying to get the babies to drink from their bottles. Setting the baby girl down besides him, he stood up and resumed pacing, this time trying to coax the boy into eating.

"It's good. Try it. You'll like it. Mmmm, so good." He tells the little lad as he again pretends to eat from the bottle. The baby had been whimpering for a few minutes, but now he started to all out bawl.

As he was pacing the babe, he passed a stuffed Teddy bear and had an idea. He grabbed the toy and started pretending to feed it the bottle. The boy's still crying and the girl's doing not much better from where she was lying surrounded by pillows carefully maintained in her father's gaze.

"See," Angel said back to the baby in arms. "Ha. Teddy likes it. And I like it, too." He added as he once again tried his hand at mimicking what the babes should be doing. This time he even went as far as allowing some drops to enter his opened mouth.

"Mmm," said Angel with a grin down to the lad. Then, turning his face away from both babes, he made a face and spat out the formula. He'll definitely not be doing that again.

Outside, a blue flashing light brought everyone's attention back into the lobby.

"What was that?" asked Fred as she instinctively grabs at Gunn's hand tightly.

Then, Lorne entered the room. "Oh, just listening to those Furies gives me whiplash! Thank god they finally left. My head was about to pop off." He paused for a second before adding. "Which, granted, not that big a deal."

A relieved sigh passed through the group.

"That flash was their spell kicking in then?" asked Wes. Lorne nodded moving further into the lobby.

"Yeah, they put a force field over the entire hotel. No one or thing can get in or out." He said pointedly. After all the hardships that they have recently faced and the ones that are sure to be coming from the list, it's a relief to think that there's some kind of protection over them.

"So," started Fred, "the babies are safe? We're all safe. Right Lorne? I…I mean, unless one of those killers decides to throw in a fire bomb in at us like they did at your club- which had a similar safety spell as I recall. – Sorry." She quickly adds to the looks she's receiving and Lorne's almost glare.

"She's right," sighed Angel. "They won't be safe here for long."

Fred nodded to him as they all settled into the office once more. Angel takes a seat besides the whimpering baby.

"Well, we can get out if we have to," Said Lorne as he walked over to the desk and used it to lean back on. "I installed an emergency exit down in the sewers. A," he paused to think up the right 'word'. "a mystical barrier. Opens and closes with a password."

Turning to Fred, a smirk plastered on his face. "Pylean word for hedgehog"

Fred looks at him but nods. "Oh" – she said pointedly, and she looked like a farmhand working farm girl. "Oh!" she repeats as she starts to laugh.

Gunn eyes her weirdly, and then back to Lorne. "I'm guessing that it means something very different in English," he says shaking his head with a grin.

Cordy sighed and looked up to them. "Well, it looks like we'll have to use it soon. The babies need to see a doctor."

Angel's eyes go wide as he glances between the babies. "What? They're not sick. Right? They don't look sick. Do they?" and if he had a working heart, it'd be standing still at the moment.

Cordy read from the opened baby book in front of her that she'd been reading from, "Uh, no. But they need their newborn checkup. The baby book says that they're supposed to have a vitamin K shot and a PKU test after being born. Uh - are you gonna circumcise?"

Now the other baby starts to cry as well.

Gunn cringed at the crying, now doubling the sound. "That one must be the boy. And I think that he heard you."

Behind them, Lorne looked rather cringed.

"Speaking of hearing things - are there any fluorescent lights in here? I keep hearing this hum. Plus, fluorescent - green light, green skin - it's all bad. - I'll take the blank stares as a big fat no," he added as he saw the look that they were all giving him. "Yeah."

Angel shakes his head and starts to rock the baby in his lap and uses one hand to rub the other's tummy.

Glancing around, Angel's eyes lock onto the weapon's cabinet. The very cabinet that had provided them before with the weapons that they used each day to protect themselves and each other. What they used to 'help the helpless' wherever they were needed.

"Gunn?"

Gunn straightens up and walks over to lean over the back end of the couch.

"Yeah,"

"I'm in a war here. I'm going to need some serious firepower. And before you asks, this goes beyond swords and spears. Gunn nodded, he understood the hurry that Angel saw.
