Thanks so much everyone. The next bit is the phone call. Im sorry this piece is poor quality. And the italics is Angel speaking, just incase anyone got confused. Thanks again. x
Willow closed her eyes gently, wrapping the phone cord around her finger as she waited patiently. Willow had barely got out a few words before Angel had to deal with an urgent call on the other line, which was rather ironic. Willow threw the covers over herself, just about to drop her head on her soft pillow before a voice rung out.
"Sorry about that, Willow, are you still there ?"
"Yeah, Im here!" Willow tried to stiffle a yawn.
"What was you going to tell me ?"
"I know about that day when you and Buffy spent it together."
"What day ?"
"Angel, I've progressed alot in the Wicca territory so Im pretty powerful."
"I know, and Im happy for you, its just that I've spent alot of days with Buffy."
"Oh, sorry. The day when she came down to LA, a few weeks ago."
Willow listened, waiting for Angel to respond although he didn't.
"You know, the day when you were human!"
"How did you know -"
"I did a spell, and Im sorry about invading your privacy, but Buffy didn't seem herself after she returned."
"What do you mean ? Is Buffy alright ?"
"Yeah, she just kept throwing up and was rather ill."
"But is she alright ?"
"Angel, she's pregnant. Buffy is pregnant!"
Willow hesitated, waiting for his response and wondering how he would take it. Angel had probably never gotten a woman pregnant before, Willow wondered if he ever expected to have children.
"With your child." added Willow, just incase he thought someone else was the Father and Willow was just rubbing it in his face.
She heard Angel cough.
"W-w-w-what ? How ? Vampires can't have -"
"Children, I know. Except, you were human when you slept together - you were like any other two people having sex."
"I can't. Willow, Im sorry, but I can't be in this childs life. I'll send Buffy money every week, money for the baby and herself to keep them going but -"
"No, you can't do that!"
"Willow, I can't hurt her or our baby like that, it would be unfair!"
"And you know what would be more unfair ? Letting this baby grow up without a Father, wondering all its life of who should of been teaching it to ride a bike or taking it on days out! It would be unfair on Buffy, having to raise her baby by herself with no father. Constantly having to avoid the question that continues to be asked - 'Mommy, wheres Daddy ?' Thats more unfair! You have responsibility now, Angel, step up and be the man you are!"
"Thats it though, Willow, Im not a man! Im this creature of the night that can never give either of them a normal life, I don't want my child living in the dark!"
"Do you think that will matter to Buffy ?"
Even if it doesn't, it will matter to me! I don't want to be the reason why this child has no life, I don't think its fair!"
"Well, theres only one thing you can do."
