*-* morning _ the Hyperion *-*
'Hi, y'all ! Good morning !' Gunn yelled as he entered the lobby of the hotel. He heard a squeal coming out of the kitchen, crying out his name. 'Morning Fred !' he said, putting down his rucksack. He walked on, longing to see her face. In his mind, a movie started to play…the ballet…he and Fred, kissing. Man, he had a crush on her, big time ! 'Moving on to the kitchen, seeing Fred, smile, be happy, make her love me' his plans were simple.
Fred appeared in the doorway, a bright smile on her face, sparkles in her eyes.
'Hey, girl !' he said, also laughing.
'Good morning, Charles' she said, turning back, and entered the kitchen again, sitting down at the table. As he stepped in, his eyes grew a bit larger; there were 4 others in the kitchen, strangers. 'I didn't know we were going to have company ? ! Family of Fred, or Cordy?' he thought as he looked to them.
'Hi' he said.
'Everyone, this is Charles Gunn' Fred introduced him to the company gathered there, 'Charles, meet Dawn…'
He looked over to a young girl, who waved at him as she showed him a warm smile. She was standing up, holding a bottle of orange juice in her hand. 'Willow…' A redhead greeted him, sitting at the table. 'Xander…' A boy, a man. Gunn felt jealous as he saw Fred smiling at the stranger in the room. She's mine, brother ! Don't even think about it ! 'And Buffy…' The blonde girl smiled at him. She was standing at the cooking-plates, ; a pan in her hands. Eggs.
Buffy.. Angel's old flame. Oh, boy ! Let's pray this won't end in a massacre when Cordy finds out !'
'Nice to meet you all' he said, grabbing a chair, sitting down next to Fred.
'So…you're a friend of Angel ?' Buffy put the pan down on the table. Eggs are ready !
'Yeah..we're cool.'
'You work for him ?' Xander asked
'Yup. I'm an evilfighter !'
Fred giggled, and touched his arm, 'Charles is really brave !' she added.
He felt himself turn red a bit. 'So..uh..what are you guys doing here actually ?' he asked, trying to start a conversation.
'They're here to help us find Connor' Fred answered before anyone elso got the chance.
The mood turned again. Everyone felt sorry for Angel, and even though they never knew Connor, the Scoobies felt like they'd lost someone they know too.
'Good' Gunn said as he grabbed a sandwich, 'We can use some help now, with Wesley gone and stuff…'
-*- Hyperion – Angel's bedroom -*-
Waking up, bad feeling in my stomach. Nausea. Getting out of bed, heading for the bathroom, throwing up. Be more quiet ! Don't wake Angel, no need for him to worry about me. He's got enough troubles as it is !
She looked into the mirror and washed the sleep away. She looked pale. A sigh.
Crappy feeling isn't going away ! Feel bad !
She went to sit down on the toiletseat, towel in her hands, tears forming in her eyes. Softly she started to sob, she really didn't feel that well. She heard a knock on the door.
'Cordy, sweetie, are you okay ?' it was Angel. He had woken up in an empty bed, then heard her sob in the bathroom. 'Can I come in ?'
'Yes' she softly said.
'Cordy !' he said as he entered, walking up to her, kneeling in front of her, 'hey, what's wrong ?' He brushed a tear away. 'Why are you crying ?'
'I…I threw up' she said, feeling a bit ridiculous.
'Oh, baby' he said as he pulled her against his chest, gently rocking her.
'Stop rocking me' she said, 'I'm getting nausea again'
'Sorry' he said, placing a kiss on her forehead, 'come and lay down a bit… want me to call a doctor?'
'No! No… I'm not ill…I think'
'Oh? Oh!…the baby?'
She nodded. He smiled and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her to the bed. He went to lie down next to her, holding her in his arms. After he brushed a kiss upon her hair he whispered, 'I love you…If you need anything, just wake me, okay?'
'uhu' she said, but he was already asleep again. Knowing she wouldn't be able to sleep again she got free out of his hold, and headed downstairs.
