Part 3
3 months later
Angel walked down the dark city. This was what he needed. To get away. To find someplace new. This was what he needed to stop thinking about Bu- ..... her.
He saw a couple walking across the street. Holding hands. Giggling. Kissing.
He turned away.
"Stop thinking about her." he said, "She's married. It's a sacred oath, you can't expect her to break that."
But he knew that she had broken it. A year ago.
Buffy sat in the rocking chair, holding Robin Claire to her shoulder. She was alone. Jeff was at work, Dawn was out shopping, everyone else had gone home. She looked at her baby, thinking about what happened almost exactly a year ago.
"Will I ever stop feeling guilty?" she asked out loud, "I know what I did was wrong, but... then I wouldn't have you."
"Burp." Robin Claire said
"That's a good girl."
Angel walked into the little motel where he was staying. In his room. he took off his shirt and dropped it on the nearest chair.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. He walked over and opened it.
"What are you doing here?" he asked
"I came to talk to you."
"Why?"
"Because of my sister."
"What does Buffy have to do with this?" Angel asked
"Everything." Dawn replied, "You love her. She loves you. And you're human."
"And what does THAT matter?" Angel asked, " She's married, if you hadn't noticed!"
"And I also noticed that she has a baby that looks like you!"
"What?"
"Buffy has a three month old baby." Dawn said, "Do the math. Robin Claire is 3 months old, Buffy was pregnant for 9 months, you get 12 months. A year ago, Buffy was in LA. So were you. Nine months later, she gives birth to a baby that looks exactly like you. Coincidence?"
"Buffy... had a baby?" Angel asked
Dawn nodded her head.
"Wait, how did you find me?" Angel asked
"I saw you walking on the street, I just followed you." Dawn explain, sitting down on the chair.
"And you're doing what is Ohio?" he asked
"You don't know?" Dawn asked, "I thought you came here to see her." she laughed.
"See who?"
"Buffy. She lives here."
