Chapter 53: Expecting

……………………………

Cordelia's apartment

It was late, maybe around two in the morning when Cordelia unlocked her apartment door. It was just her and her dad, Buffy decided that she was going to stay home one more day before she made her way to L.A; she said she had some things to take care off. Cordelia wasn't going to argue or ask questions because she was pretty sure she knew who needed her help.

He wasn't a big secret that Faith and Willow were having problems; they had been having problems ever since the relationship started. It was a mix between Willow not trusting Faith and Faith not thinking she's good enough for Willow. They were as bad as her and Buffy were. Well it's hard to trust a slayer when, because when the patrol and fight the get the H&H, hungry and horny. Cordelia had could out that, that was true first hand, she just always wondered where Buffy blew it off before or even still.

Cordelia dropped her bags onto the floor and then reached behind her and grabbed her and grabbed her father's bags and dropped them onto the floor right next to her bags. When she turned around again she noticed that her father wasn't standing there anymore. When she looked around she noticed that her father was standing in her and Buffy's bedroom looking around like he had never seen a bedroom before.

Cordelia walked in behind him and she noticed that he was looking at the picture of her and Buffy, and the rest of the gang. "How long?" he asked not even turning around.

"Two years," Cordelia said without a moment's hesitation. She didn't need to hesitate anymore, she didn't care if he liked or didn't like the fact that her and Buffy were together, because it was too late for him anyways. He left her life after senior year, he decided to move away and just keep in touch with her with a phone call every couple pf weeks. He didn't know the things she had been through, the hardships she faced with these people. If he did then maybe, just maybe he would understand why they are more her family that he could ever be.

"Why did you tell me?" he asked turning around to look at her. "Why did you keep your wedding day a secret?" he asked and Cordelia flinched when she heard the sadness in his voice. "A father is supposed to see his daughters wedding, no matter what problems they have going on," he explained. "I would have understood if you just told me," he explained.

"How would you have understood?" Cordelia asked growing angry for a reason she didn't know. "You call me every couple weeks and that's it, god dad you didn't even wish me happy birthday last year," she explained. "All you did was send a card with a hundred dollars in it, and it wasn't even a birthday card," she said as she turned around and walked out of the bedroom. She went over to the closet and grabbed a pillow and a blanket. "Here," she said handing him the pillow and blanket.

"What's this for?" he asked confused.

I know he didn't think he was going to get the bed just because he was my father did he? Cordelia asked herself as she looked at the man standing before her. "You have the couch," she said as if he should have known that already.

"I thought you had a spare bedroom?" he asked in confusion.

"I think Faith is coming back here with Buffy and that's her room when she comes here," Cordelia said as she walked past him slamming her bedroom door in the process. She couldn't stand the sight of him and she didn't even know why. It wasn't like he was a total lose in her life, it wouldn't have mattered if he was in her life more or not she still would have gotten close to the gang.

Cordelia walked over and sat down on her bed. Just as she was about lie down her cell phone began ringing. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was her friend Sarah that lived her in L.A. "Hello?" she asked as she put the phone to her ear.

"Cor, are you her in L.A?" she asked all excited.

"Yeah I just got here about an hour or so ago," she explained.

"Then get you pretty little ass down to the club, we're all here," she said.

"Okay, I'm on my way," Cordelia said as she went into her bathroom and started getting ready for tonight. She hadn't seen the friends she made her in L.A in a while and it was going to feel great hanging out with them again.

Summers house

Buffy was sitting in her old bedroom, the bedroom that would soon belong to Xander and Anya, because Xander didn't see the point in paying for an apartment that he never uses. She looked at the bears walls that used to be full with posters and pictures. These walls would soon be filled again but the room itself will never be hers again.

Buffy was snapped from her thoughts by the sound of the front door opening and closing. She walked out of her old room and walked to the top of stairs. She looked down and saw Faith standing there getting ready to come up the stairs.

"Yo B, what are you doin here? Aren't you and Queen C supposed to be in LA now?" she asked as she walked past Buffy and into the room she shared with Dawn. Since Willow and Faith were fighting Faith was camping out on Dawn bedroom floor.

"Yeah I know but I wanted to see if you wanted to come," she said. "Then we could talk, because we need to talk," she finished as she looked at her sister slayer.

"I don't know B, if I go who's gonna watch over the Hellmouth?" Faith asked although Buffy could tell that she really did want to go but she didn't want anything to go wrong.

"I already talked to Spike, he said he would petrol while we were gone," Buffy explained. "I was actually looking forward to it, which reminds me, he really needs to get a hobby or something," she added on going off into her little world.

"Okay I guess I mean if Spike's gonna patrol then I can go, plus I need a vacation," she added as she walked over to the closet. "Give me time to get packed," she finished as she started throwing stuff out of the closet and onto the floor. Buffy watched as she packed and she thought happily, At least I don't have to deal with Cordelia dad alone now.

The Club

Cordelia walked into the club and the first place she looked for her friends was over by the bar. That's where she saw Marisa grabbing some drinks and then walking away. Cordelia smiled as she quickly made her way toward her and she made it far enough to were she could see the rest of them. Marisa, Sarah, Esther, Sol, and Carissa. They were all sitting at a table with drinks in front of them and guys next to them.

"Cor!" Sarah screamed when she saw her friend walking toward the table. "I didn't think you were gonna make it," she said as she lead her to a seat.

"I wouldn't have missed it," Cordelia said as she took a seat in-between Sol and Marisa.

"You've missed it for the past three months," Marisa said as she looked at her friend. "I mean we thought you died or something, u like feel of the face of the earth," she said as she took another sip of her drink.

"I've been busy," Cordelia said.

"Really? Well who is he?" Carissa asked.

"Who?" Cordelia asked confused.

"Your new man," Sol said as if she should have known what they were talking about. "I mean that is why you've been blowing us off right…is because of some guy," she continued. "All I can say is that he better be hot," she finished.

"He is," Cordelia said unable to tell them that her he was in fact a she. She looked around the table at her friends and smiled, she really had missed this. Sarah was a skinny little thing from Guatemala, and god help anyone who thinks she's from Porto Rico. She has dark black hair with dark brown eyes and her skin is a dark tanish color. Marisa also skinny but not as skinny as Sarah. She had medium length blonde hair with brown eyes. She is extremely friendly and Cordelia had been drawn to her from the very beginning. Esther was the wild one of the bunch. She had long black hair with brown eyes. She was Porto Rican as well as Hawaiian and a little Japanese. She is never afraid to speak her mind and defend her friends. Sol is the original. She is from Proto Rico, she small but beautiful. She had long brown hair with brown eyes, she always knows what she wants and she isn't afraid to go after it. Last but not least we have Carissa. She is the shortest one in the group by far. She has brownish blonde hair with brownish hazel eyes. Out of all of them she usually gets the most guys, even though she is a lesbian. She likes guys and all but she prefers women.

"Tell us about him," Carissa said. "I mean he has been taking up all your time we should at least know his name," she finished.

Should I lie to them or should I tell them that my he is in fact a she. I know Carissa will be happy about that, I'm not gonna lie she used to have the biggest crush on me but I told her I wasn't interested. We got over it and now she knows her limits with me. But would everyone else be okay with it? I mean I know Buffy will be pissed if I lie again about her. I mean I've done it so many times and I can't say I do it because I'm nervous and that she doesn't understand because she is going through the same thing and she is never afraid to tell anyone that I'm her wife.

"Hello, earth for Cor," Carissa said as she waved her hand in front of her face. "Are you okay?" she asked concerned.

Cordelia looked around the table and saw that everyone was looking at her confused. She didn't know the guys names but they were cute, even Carissa had a guy. "I'm fine," she said and then she looked at the guys. "I'm sorry I didn't get your names," she said as a hint to her friends.

"Oh forgive our manners," Esther said as she looked at Cordelia. She pointed to each other guys as she said their names. "Matt, Damon, Kenny, Nick, and Mike," she finished as she looked behind Cordelia. "And that's Keith," she said as she pointed behind her friend.

Cordelia turned around to find a handsome man standing behind her. He was medium built; he had black hair and brown eyes. Cordelia was instantly attracted to him but she knew she shouldn't be, after all she has Buffy and she more than enough for her to handle. "Hi," he said in a deep voice as he extended his hand to her.

"Hey," Cordelia said as she took his hand in hers. She usually only felt that shock when Buffy touches her. She looked up at him in shock and he smiled a grin as if he sent that shock to her himself.

"And what's your name?" he asked as he bent down and kissed her hand like a gentlemen would.

"Cordelia…Cordelia Chase," she said in a shy tentative voice.

"May I buy you a drink?" he asked.

"S…s…sure," she stuttered out. He left for the bar and she looked back at her friends. "What is happening to me?" she asked as she looked at them and they all shrugged their shoulders and she continued to squint at them. "I mean I'm married."

"What?" Carissa said.

"Huh?" Esther and Sol commented with confusion.

"To who?" Marisa and Sarah asked.

But Cordelia didn't even seem like she heard them. She was looking off into space thinking about Buffy and what's she would say if she was her. Of course if she was here there would be no need for some guy to get her a drink, she would have already gotten them for herself and Buffy.

"Cor," Marisa said taking hold of her shoulder. Cordelia shuck her head as she looked at them. "Are you okay, you blanked out for a second," she explained as she looked at her friend.

"Yeah I'm fine," she said and that's when she noticed that Keith headed back toward the table. She was unable to look away from him, almost as if he had put some kind of spell on her. "Hi, thanks," she said as he handed her the drink. That's when Cordelia's hand went to her stomach and she brought her other head up to her mouth. "Oh God," she said. "I don't feel so good," she said as she looked at them. "Keith you think you could give me and ride home?" she asked.

"Sure no problem," he said as he put his arm around her lifting her up out of the chair. She heard her friends saying there goodbyes and such as her and Keith left the club.

Cordelia's apartment

Buffy walked into the apartment with Faith right behind her. The first thing she noticed was Cordelia's dad sleeping on the couch. I can't believe this, why didn't she just give him the guest room? Faith wouldn't have minded sleeping on the couch; after all I'm sure she's had worse. Buffy shrugged her shoulders as she helped Faith carry her bags into the guest bedroom.

As they passed the master bedroom Buffy looked in expecting to see Cordelia lying there sleeping but instead all she saw was an empty bed. Confusion washed over her as she continued on her way to the guest bedroom. When she set Faith's bags on the floor Buffy looked at Faith. "Maybe she went to see Angel," Faith said trying to be helpful.

"Yeah, maybe," Buffy said. "Good night," Buffy said as she walked out of the guest bedroom and into the master bedroom where she sat on the bed. Maybe she did go see Angel, to talk about her father and the situation she has going on here. Maybe to warn him in case her father follows her to work tomorrow. But I don't think so, she would have left a note or something…right? Buffy thought to herself as she walked into the bathroom shedding her jacket on the way.

Once Buffy was in the bathroom she looked in the mirror at herself. Come on Summers you promised her that you weren't going to be the jealous type anymore that you were going to give her more credit. Last time you two almost ended your marriage and you know you don't want that. Buffy said to herself. She reached down and turned on the forest. She put some water in her hand and the splashed the water in her face. When she looked up at the mirror again she could see the water running down her face. She reached for the towel and patted her face to dry it. Then she walked back into the bedroom. She changed into a pair of shorts and one of Cordelia's t-shirts.

Buffy climbed into bed just as a pair of head light shown through the window. She got up and looked out the window to see Cordelia getting out of the car with some guy. He was walking over to her, Buffy guessed getting ready for a good night kiss and when he leaned in Cordelia stopped him. "I'm sorry Keith," Cordelia said. "But I'm married," she said as she turned and walked into the apartment leaving him on the porch wanting more.

Cordelia entered her house and saw that her dad was sound asleep on the couch. She rolled her eyes as she saw that his hand was dangling over the side and his blankets weren't even on. She threw her keys onto the door side tabled and then walked into the kitchen and that's when she noticed that the guest bedroom door was open. She walked over to the door and looked inside to find Faith fast asleep on the bed.

Cordelia straightened right up as she turned and pushed opened the bedroom door. She was greeted with a stern look from Buffy who was sitting up in the bed. Cordelia was about to say something when Buffy reached her hand out and stopped her. "You know what; I don't want to hear it. Cuz I've decided to try this new thing called trusting people and well I'm gonna start with you." She paused. "I am assuming that he is only a friend," she finished.

"Buffy your right, except he isn't a friend of mine, he's a friend of Esther's. They called me to the club as soon as I got home and since I haven't seen them in like forever I figure what the hell," she paused as she walked into the bathroom and pulled up her hair. She then proceeds to change into some shorts and a t-shirt. "I didn't think you would be back until tomorrow," she finished as she climbed into bed next to her wife.

"We decided to surprise you," Buffy said as she reached over and brought Cordelia closer to her. "I trust you," she said as she laid a soft gentle kiss, a kiss that made Cordelia feel like they were kissing for the first time.

"I love you…so much," Cordelia said when Buffy let go and she moved back. "I honestly don't know what I would do without you in my life," she explained as she leaned over and pinned Buffy beneath her.

"Aw you and your sappiness," Buffy said as she wrapped her arms around Cordelia's next. "I love you too," Buffy said as she brought Cordelia down on top of her.

Angel Investigations

Buffy had been sitting at Cordelia's desk for a little over three hours waiting for her to show up. When she had left this morning Cordelia had still been sleeping so she just left silently. Since she had gotten up early she really didn't think it was that big of a deal. She figured Cordelia would have been to work in a little while anyways. But it was freaking her out now because even Faith had shown up before her.

Buffy looked at the clock once again and when she looked at it she saw that it was one in the afternoon. "That's it I'm calling her," Buffy said as she reached for the phone. She dialed a number that she had long ago memorized. When a someone answered the phone she smiled. "Cor are you planning on coming to work today?" she asked.

"Buffy…I think you should come home," she explained. "Something isn't right, bring everyone with you," she finished. "I'm scared," she explained and then Buffy hung up the phone.

"Come on guys something's wrong," she explained and they all existed the office without even questioning her decision.

Cordelia's apartment

Why are the weirdest things always happening to me? I mean I'm finally happen, I finally found someone that loves me for me and then something like this happens. Serious I don't think anything else can go wrong to day. Just as Cordelia thought that the door opened and in walked her dad. She had thought he went with Buffy to the office…obviously he didn't.

"Cordy I was…" he stopped mid-sentence when he noticed her stomach. "Um…is there something I'm unaware of?" he asked but he didn't give her time to answer. "I mean I thought you and Buffy were together and as far as I'm concerned nothing like this could happen between two female," then he paused. "Wait a second is this some kind of joke, I mean your were perfectly skinny yesterday," he said confused.

"Yeah dad this is a joke," she lied. "I want to see what Buffy's reaction is going to be when she comes home," she continued. "Now you were saying?" she asked.

"I was going to the store I was wondering if you needed anything?" he asked.

"No thanks," she said.

"O…okay," he said and then he walked out of the room and the next thing Cordelia knew she heard the front door close.

Just great, now my father thinks I'm pregnant, I know he knows that I'm lying. He may not have been around for a while but he isn't stupid. Cordelia rested her hand on her stomach and looked up at the ceiling. "Do you really hate me that much?" she asked. And that's when she heard the front door slam close. "Buffy!" she yelled and the next thing she knew her blonde haired beauty was standing before her. "Buffy…" she was about to say something when everyone else moved into the room but Buffy was frozen at the door. "Hey guys," she said.

"Damn B, nice work I didn't think something like this was possible," Fait commented as she walked through the bedroom door and sat in one of the chairs.

"It's not…I…I mean it can't be," Buffy said as she looked at Wesley. "Right?" she asked. When he didn't say anything she turned to Angel. "Right!" she yelled and Cordelia winced. "I…I mean…it's impossible," she said.

"Anything's possible Buffy, especially when you live the lives we do," he explained.

"No, no, no," Buffy said and then she turned and left the room. Faith followed her out.

"Angel I um, I want to wake up now," Cordelia said.

"Huh?" Wesley and Angel said in unison.

"This is a dream right?" she asked. "I mean this isn't happening right?" she asked again. "I was perfectly fine yesterday," she added.

"That's right," Wesley said. "You were…as in you weren't pregnant yesterday," he explained. "That makes us lean toward spell," he said as he looked at Angel. "I think I should start researching." He said before he walked out of the room.

"Well looking on the bright side…" Angel started.

"There is no bright side," she said as she looked at the ceiling. Why?

The beach

Buffy was standing on the pier looking over the ocean when Faith came walking up behind her. "Damn B, your one hard girl to keep up with," she said as she leaned over the railing and took a deep breathe. "So I guess congratulations are in order." She commented as she looked at Buffy out of the corner of her eye.

"It's not mine," Buffy said as she continued to look straight ahead. She didn't look anywhere but out over the sea, it was almost like she was a shell of her normal self…it was kinda creepy.

"Sure it is, I mean you're the slayer weird things happen to you all the time. So maybe this is the powers way of saying thank you," she explained.

"You know I wouldn't mind that because the truth is that I do want kids," she explained. "But I know its not mine I just know it," she said.

"How?" Faith asked. She hated when Buffy got like this. "How do you know?"

"Because she came home with some guy last night," Buffy explained.

"Buffy your assuming again," Faith said. "Last time you did this it almost ended your marriage." She continued.

"Looks who's talking Faith, look what's happening with you and Will," Buffy said. "I know what I saw," she explained.

"No you saw what you wanted to see," she explained. "Buffy don't you ever wonder why you and Cordelia are always fighting?" Faith said and Buffy looked at her. It was a look that said 'you better have a point.' "I'm just saying maybe you guys aren't meant for each other, I mean you guys are always fighting about something." She explained.

"Then who and I supposed to be with…you?" Buffy said jokingly.

"Hey you said it not me," Faith explained.

"No," Buffy said as she looked out over the water. "We tried that already and you know how it ends," Buffy said. "We weren't right for each other," she explained. "I love Cordelia and if she has an explanation for last night that I'll listen," she said.

"But you already said you don't believe it," Faith said. "She said she didn't sleep with the guy," she added.

"Then how do you explain her belly?" she asked.

"A gift from the powers in a act of love," she said. "Maybe when you two were doin the deed last night they sent you a gift," she explained.

"We didn't do nothing last night," she said.

"Yeah right, that's not what I heard," Faith said with a smirk.

"We didn't!" Buffy yelled. "She didn't want to do anything cuz her dad was sleeping on the couch," Buffy explained. "So I don't know what you heard," Buffy said.

There was a long silence as together the two slayers listened to the waves hitting the shore. Then Faith looked at Buffy. "Hey B," she said and Buffy looked over at her with curious eyes. "Do you ever wonder what life would be like if we could have worked things out?" she asked.

Buffy looked back out over the ocean. "I used to," she said. "But I don't anymore," she finished.

Cordelia's apartment

Cordelia was lying in her bed in her apartment still with Angel and Wesley out in the living room. She could hear Angel's loud voice on the phone. She knew he was looking for Keith even though there was no point. There was no way he could have done this, they didn't even sleep together. As a matter of fact she didn't even get any last night.

Angel hung up the phone and looked at Wesley. "Nothing," he said. "No one's heard of him," he said. "Listen I want you to take Cordelia to the doctor," he said. "I have some work to do," he explained.

"Don't you think Buffy should take her because she might be the babies mother or is it father still?" Wesley asked confused.

"There is no way Buffy the mother…father," Angel said shaking his head. "They didn't do anything last night, as a matter of fact it been awhile," Angel commented.

"How do you…okay that's gross," Wesley said. "But still shouldn't Buffy take her that way she would feel more comfortable," he explained.

"No because where I'm going I might need both slayers," he explained.

Just as Wesley was about to say something the front door to Cordelia's apartment opened and in walked her father. "Are you Keith?" Wesley asked.

Cordelia's dad looked up at them startled. "No, I'm Ryan Chase, Cordelia's father…and you are?" he asked as he looked at the two gentlemen in Cordelia's living room.

Just as Angel was about to answer the door opened again and in walked Buffy and Faith. "So what's the what?" Buffy asked she walked back Angel and Wesley and into the bedroom where Cordelia could be seen crying on the bed. Buffy was standing at the door when and unseen force pushed her toward Cordelia. "Not now Dennis," Buffy said as she stopped in her tracks looking straight at Cordelia.

"Hey guys you think we could have a minute?" Cordelia asked looking at everyone. "Please?" she asked and everyone left the room. "You too Dennis," she said than the door closed behind Dennis the ghost. "Buffy know what you must be thinking," she started.

"You have no idea what I'm thinking," Buffy said looking at her. "You're pregnant," Buffy said.

"I think I know that," Cordelia said. "But Angel thinks it might be some kind of spell that Keith, the guy, placed on me at the bar. I've called Sarah, Esther, Sol, Marisa and Carissa and they all told me that they have the same problem. In order for the spell to work they have to touch you, and well he did give me a ride home," Cordelia said.

"How do you know he has to touch you?" Buffy asked.

"Because Wesley has narrowed it down to what the possibilities might be and they all have to deal with touch," she explained. "Buffy you have to believe me I didn't sleep with anyone. Even if I did you think o could become nine months pregnant in one night," she said. Buffy hung her head. "Buffy if I had slept with someone there was no way I would have been able to come home and tell you that I love you…you know that I'm not that good of a liar."

Buffy started laughing. "Are you mad that I jumped to conclusions?" she asked.

"No because honestly I would have thought the same thing," Cordelia said. "We okay?"

"Yeah we're better than okay," Buffy said as she got up and walked over to the bed and laid a soft kiss on Cordelia's forehead. "Okay guys!" Buffy yelled. They all walked in and when Faith walked in Buffy noticed that sad look on her face. There is no way that Faith is still hung up on me, is there? I mean she has Willow, she loves Willow and she knows that I love Cordelia. "So what's the news?"

Angel looked over at Wesley and he nodded his head. "I asked Wesley to take Cordelia to the doctor and see what they can tell us," Angel said. "Depending on what's happening in your stomach well help us narrow down what we're up against." He finished.

"Wait why can't Buffy take me to the doctor's?" Cordelia asked as she tried to sit up but she couldn't.

"Because I need Buffy and Faith with me," he said. "I am planning on going to question this Keith person and why not try persuading him with two sexy girls," Angel said with a smirk. "Plus I don't know what I am going to be coming up against," he finished.

Cordelia looked at Buffy and Buffy just shrugged. "What can I say I'm sexy," she said with a smirk which she was rewarded with a slap in the arm. "What it's the truth," Buffy said.

"Whatever," Cordelia said looking back at Angel.

"Okay," Angel said a little unsure about where to go from here. "We're going to go now I guess," he said as he walked out of the bedroom with Faith behind him. Buffy leaned over and kissed Cordelia before she followed Angel out of the apartment too.

Cordelia looked up at Wesley with a smile. She was looking at him but she wasn't really looking at him. Her voice cracked as she began to speak. "You know I want kids," she said as she looked down at her hands talking as if he wasn't in the room. "I know Buffy wants kids too," she explained.

"You can get a donor," he contributed.

"No not like that," she said as she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "No we want one that we make, without a donor, but we're not stupid we know that's impossible," she said looking down as the tear slipped from her eye and traveled down past her noise until it hit the end of her chin. It was so quiet that Wesley could almost hear the tear hitting her hand.

"Nothings impossible," he said in a way of comfort.

"Can we just go?" she asked looked up at him as she franticly whipped the tears from her eyes. Wesley didn't say anything because he knew there was nothing he could say. These two people that he had known for a long time loved each other and they wanted to have children but they both knew that they couldn't. He walked over to the edge of the bed and helped her out, the least he could do was figure out what was wrong with her.

The Club

Angel strode through the doors of the closed club with Buffy and Faith right behind them. The guys behind the bar was about to tell them that they have to leave until he saw the looks on there faces and he knew that they didn't want to be here when the bar was open.

"Can I help you?" he asked a little frightened.

"Yeah," Angel said but before he could get anything else out Buffy pushed him aside and stepped right up to the guy at the bar. "Buffy…"

"Listen I need some information from you," Buffy said and behind her Angel looked at Faith who just shrugged her shoulders. "A guy came in her yesterday…"

"A lot of guys came in here yesterday," he said not trying to be sarcastic just being realistic.

"Okay smarty pants," Faith said stepping up. "He was here with this girl," she said holding up a picture of Cordelia.

"Where did you…" Buffy started.

"It's not important," Faith said as she continued to look at the guy. "Well?" she asked.

The bar tender thought about it for a second but Angel guessed he was thinking whether or not to tell them the truth. "That's Keith," he decided to tell the truth, smart choice. "He comes in here every Monday night a picks up a girl," he explained. "He owns a club down on Oak Street," the bartender said. And before he knew it they were all out of the club.

"Angel you go to the club I think I'm gonna go talk to Sarah I think she might have some answers," Buffy said and then she looked at Faith. "Go with him." And then Buffy was gone. Angel and Faith looked at each other until they head off into the direction of Oak Street.

Doctor's office

Cordelia was waiting in the doctor's office with Wesley. She could see a lady sitting next to her keep staring at her belly and in a way he bothered her but she didn't know why. They lady went to touch but Cordelia snapped. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" She yelled as she looked at the lady.

"I was just gonna say…"

"I don't care what you have to say," Cordelia said and then she watched as a nurse came out of the back room.

"Cordelia Chase-Summers?" they asked.

"That's me," Cordelia said standing up with Wesley's help. They walked into the back room and Cordelia got up onto the bed.

"Okay let's see what's inside," the doctor said and then he spread some clear cold stuff on her stomach. They be placed a little remote looking this that was even colder on her stomach and he started moving it around. "Well everything looks good, you have two…no wait three…no four…five….six…seven," he looked at Cordelia and he could see how worried she was.

"Are they healthy?" she asked and then she wanted to smack herself because that wasn't what she wanted to asked.

"Um…yeah," the doctor said and then he walked out of the room.

"Wesley we need to go, there going to do something bad to my babies," she said as she started to get off the table but Wesley stopped her. "Let go of me," she said and then she got up and walked out of the back room.

Sarah's house

Buffy knocked on the door when no one answered she decided to walk on in. "Hello?" she called out as she continued walked through out the house. Well at least until she came to the bedroom. When she looked in she saw that Sarah was lying on the bed…pregnant.

"Sarah?" Buffy asked as she walked in. "Is everything okay?" she asked as she walked to the side of the bed.

"Does it look like everythings okay?" she asked as she looked up at Buffy. "I knew this was going to happen, well okay so I didn't know exactly. They were just so strange," she paused. "They asked the weirdest things. Because that's what they like, for example women without family, that's what they liked most about Cor, that she didn't have anyone that loved her. And by the time they found out it was too late she was hooked." She explained.

"Sarah?"

"They're evil…LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO!!" she yelled. "Look what they did to me," she said softer as she started crying. Buffy turned and walked out of the room.

"This is so not good," she said to herself as she walked out of Sarah's apartment.

Angel's Apartment

Wesley had taken Cordelia back to Angel's apartment instead of taking her back to her own. Something wasn't right with her but he didn't know what it was exactly. She was becoming protective of babies that weren't even her's. Yeah she was carrying them but they were slowly killing her in the process.

The club

Angel walked into the club; he walked into the basement where he noticed that they were shooting guys. He tapped a guy on his shoulder and he looked behind him to see Angel. He slowly put the gun down and then he took off his goggles.

"You shouldn't sneak up on a person that's how accidents happen," the guy said.

"Let me guess your Keith?" he asked.

"Yeah and you are?" he asked.

"Angel…a friend of Cordelia's," Angel said. "I'm here to tell you that you're a proud daddy but then again that can't be right because you and Cordelia never did the deed because you found out she was married," he explained. "So how does it work?" he asked. "One touch and they are instantly affect?" Angel asked.

"You don't know what your getting yourself into," Keith said and people started surrounding him.

"And neither do you," Faith said from where she stood behind Keith. "Now what's going to happen to Cordelia because trust me when I tell you that you can't take us," she explained.

"Oh yeah," Keith said as he spun around and knocked Faith to the ground. "I never go down without a fight."

Angel's apartment

Buffy walked down that stairs. She had just been to Cordelia's apartment but no one was there so she figured Wesley had brought her back her. And she was right. When she walked into the apartment she noticed that the kitchen fridge was open and when she looked past the door she saw Cordelia. "Baby?" she called out.

Cordelia stood up from behind the door and Buffy almost threw up. "Buffy," Cordelia said as she put down the pint of blood that she had been drinking. "Guess what I've decided to keep them," she said as she touch her belly.

"Them?" Buffy asked confused.

"She's carrying seven babies," Wesley said as he stepped out from Angel's room.

"You're not going to hurt my babies," she said and she walked over to Wesley and punched him and he instantly fell to the floor. "You're not going to hurt my babies," she said as she hit Buffy. Buffy fell to the ground but she was still very much awake. Cordelia then began to kick her. "MY BABIES," she yelled. Soon Buffy's eyes fell close and Cordelia walked out of the apartment.

The club

Keith was lying on the floor under Faith's foot. He was bleeding from his head while all his other friends were unconscious. "Now your going to tell me everything I want to know," she said as she looked down at him.

Angel's apartment

The phone was ringing of the hook when Buffy came to. She got to the phone and answered it. "Hello?"

"Buffy it's Angel I learned something. The thing that Cordelia is carrying is isn't Keith's," he explained. "It's a Hacksaw beast," he said. "Is Cordelia there?" he asked.

"No she ran off, the thing inside her gave her power or something because she knocked me out," Buffy said as she was feeling around her head. "That's going to leave a mark," she commented.

"Miliken Industrial Park in Reseda," Angel said.

"Angel I was hit in the head your going to have to clarify," she said.

"That's where Cordelia is going," he said and the next thing he heard was a dial tone.

Warehouse

The girls have changed into ugly white robes. They were all following Cordelia up a flight of stairs that led them to a pool full of water. Buffy runs after Cordelia. "Cor, babe, you need to get out of there," she explained.

"Buffy why are you fighting this, this is what we always wanted," she explained.

"Not like this we didn't," she explained. "Now come on get out before he comes," she said but then the ground began to shake. "Too late," Buffy said and the demon appeared behind her. "Shit," she said.

"Who are you that comes to interfere with the birth of my children?" the demon asked.

"I'm Buffy the vampire slayer and you are?" she asked.

"Sorry I'm late," Angel said before the demon could say anything. Angel grabbed the tank at his feet spun it around and then threw it in the demon's direction. In the time the tank was flying through the air Buffy pulled out a gun and shot it hitting the tank Just as the demon caught.

The demon yelled as the fire from the explosion killed him. Buffy turned around because the sound of the women in the water scream startled her. Their belly's began to flatten. Once they were flat they began to fill out of the tank. Cordelia stood there. "I hate dating," she said to her friends.

"Good thing your married then," Buffy said as she reached out her hand. Cordelia took hold of it and Buffy pulled her out. "Hey," she said.

"Hey," Cordelia said. "Guys I would like you to met my wife Buffy Summers," she said as she leaned in and kissed her. "The best wife ever…by the way I'm sorry for beating you up," she said with a smirk.

"No big deal," she said as she took hold of Cordelia's hand and walked away from the tank. "Let's go home," she said.

……………

AN: Hope you like it. And I'm thinking of keeping Cordelia's friends in the story but I'm not sure. I know all the names are different from the show but I couldn't remember them so I made some up.
