Author's Note: Sorry it's taken so long for me to continue this but I have been distracted.

A small chapter this time hopefully longer ones later.

Enjoy

"What are we going to call this little guy?" Willow asked Rory as they sat in the library looking at the egg they were now responsible for as their 'child'.

Rory frowned in thought scribbling a few ideas down, "Which one?"

"Dale Egg?" Willow asked pointing to the last suggestion on the list.

Rory shook his head, "Its Dal-egg," he paused and Willow frowned seeing the blank expression cover his face that she knew meant he had zoned out.

"Hey," Willow gently shook his arm wincing when he jumped, "Are you okay?"

Rory nodded, "Yeah. I'm fine. Sorry, just..."

"It's been a while since you did that," Willow noted concerned.

Rory sighed, "I thought since I remembered the past life it wouldn't happen again. Guess I was wrong."

Willow rubbed his arm comfortingly. They looked up as Buffy appeared through the doors frowning confused when she glared at Rory.

"Traitor," she cried in mock annoyance.

Rory held out his hands with a shrug, "Sorry, I had no choice."

"Betrayed by my best friend and my 'date when my boyfriend isn't around'," Buffy cried theatrically, "Leaving me with an egg to raise alone. How could you?"

Rory shrugged again, "Easily."

Rory stared at the large disgusting purple thing before them that Buffy had just killed.

"Why can't we just have one week without something trying to kill us?" he asked, "I mean, look at that thing."

Xander stood at his side looking down at the now dead creature that had lived beneath their school, "At least Buffy managed to kill it first."

"After the Vampire ran," Rory noted as they walked slowly out of the building.

Xander shrugged, "He had the right idea."

"Do you think we passed the class?" Rory asked as they started out, "Considering technically we did protect the contents of the eggs."

"You're right," Xander replied, "We did."

Rory frowned at him, "Or we did. You boiled your egg."

"Face it that turned out to be the best thing." Xander reminded him.

Reaching the doorway they came across a confused and harassed Giles ushering everyone out, "Yes, yes, it was a...a...a gas leak, everyone," he rambled looking a little overwhelmed and bemused, "Uh, well, just, uh, get some air, and a... good night's rest, you know, uh, you'll be fine. These gas things... will happen," he turned to Xander and Rory, "What was it really?"

Xander clapped his shoulder, "Stick with the gas thing. I'll fill you in tomorrow."

Giles nodded, "Right," before he wandered away.

Chuckling Rory headed to help some of the students who were looking worse for wear while Xander checked on Willow and Cordelia.

All in all a normal week in Sunnydale.
