Title : Family
*-* Hyperion _ Wesley's office *-*
'Angel, I know you already know this and I don't want to…you know…but you don't have to worry…Cordy loves you, man !'
'I know' Angel said as he went to sit down on the desk.
'And she's trying to help ! Don't be crossed with her 'cause she's visiting Wes'
'I'm..I'm not !'
'You know… he's sorry'
'I'm… I know…But what do you want me to say, Gunn ? He betrayed me ; he betrayed us all ! He let…He's...My son is gone because of him. Gone… do you know what that means ?'
Silence had fallen again. Angel had turned, facing the wall now. It had been some time since he'd allowed himself to cry, to snap. He'd been dealing with the pain, and he had even accepted the fact that Connor was gone. He was gone, Holtz had him, finally revenge for what Angelus had done to his family back in the days…
Then him and Cordelia together…the baby…happiness, a bit anyway. It still hurt, living without Connor . The scoobies in LA, here to help finding Connor. It was all so confusing now…'Buffy's acting so…strange…Buffy and Spike…still weird' Thoughts crossed his mind, as he continued looking down, still tears who had to be fought back. 'Still weird' he thought, still musing about Buffy,' I always thought she'd hook up with a sweet, normal guy…more someone like Xander…although he can't really be called normal…' Spike was just one of the last me…things he'd expected her to be with.
'Hey, Angel, man ! Don't worry ! We'll find him' Gunn pulled him out of his thoughts, back into reality, but he remained silent.
'I mean… your friends are here to help, we're here ! We'll get through this, man !'
'Gunn, leave me, please…' Angel said in a soft voice. Without saying anything more, Gunn left him behind in the office, alone with his grief.

'Oh God ! ..Wesley ? !' Willow exclaimed as the ex-watcher opened the door.
'Willow..hi !' he smiled at the two girls on his front porch. He looked at the Sunnydale-girl… she looked good, grown up a bit.. a bit sad also, but…good.
'Willow's got a book' Cordelia said as she entered, showing him one of her trademark-smiles.
'She has… ?' Wesley asked, still puzzled by Cordelia and her radiant entrance. Willow entered the apartment after Cordelia, still carrying her book. She put it down on the table, flipped it open and showed it to Wesley.
'It…It's about Connor… I think'
'That's…That's…'Wesley pointed at the lines in the book
'That's the missing part of your text' Cordy said with a smile
'No !' Wesley didn't really believe it. The text was there, the very same text, in translation, with the original printed right next to it…
'Yes ! You know, Wesley ; if you keep staring at it like that, your eyes may fall out !' Cordelia said, followed by a little giggle. The formal watcher still couldn't get it… they now had the missing lines ; meaning they would be able to get in and out the dimension, without having any troubles ! Then, after a couple of seconds of staring, a smile appeared on his face, then on to a hug.
'Willow…I think we're going to need your help on this one..' Wesley said as he took up the book and went to sit down
'Sure…'
'To find the spell, and some other things..'
'What spell ?' Willow's eyes lit up for a moment…magic !
Wesley pointed at a line in his translation.
'…break the spell with a kiss …'
'And you…I should…' Willow uttered as she took the piece of paper from his hands.
'Find out what that spell is. I'll go and study your book'
'And me ?' Cordelia asked, feeling a bit useless, 'What should I do ?'
'You…euh…go back and be with Angel…Uhm…' Wesley said as he made his way to his desk, holding the book in his hands as if it was a newborn child.
'Get him to get what you guys are doing ? Prepare him ? Something like that ?' Cordelia asked . Wesley simply nodded.
'Sure…I can do that !' She said as she left Wesley's apartment.
'How hard can it be ? Telling Angel that that man who he blames for Connor's disappearance now has a solution to bring him back ?' she thought as she drove back to the Hyperion.
