Part 4

Angel sat alone in the tiny hotel room. The knowledge that he had a daughter was very hard to comprehend.
Ever since Dawn left, he had been sitting here, wondering what the best thing to do would be. His first impulse was to find Buffy and his daughter.
Robin Claire....Shaffer.
But she wasn't his daughter...not really. Jeff was doing everything a father should do.
He wished it was him.
"Maybe if I had told her..." he said to himself


"YOU DID WHAT???" Buffy screamed at her sister, "What gave you the right? This is my life, Dawn!"
"I was trying to help." Dawn replied calmly
"Help? Dawn! How is this helping? What am I supposed to do, now?" Buffy asked, "Robin Claire has a home, a family. And now that Angel knows about her..." Buffy turned around and leaned on the table
"You don't know what it's like, Buffy!" Dawn insisted
"What what is like?" her sister asked
"Growing up without a father! You were 16 when they got a divorce, you didn't really care!
"What?" Buffy looked up at her sister, "I didn't care? Dawn, I'm the reason Mom and Dad got a divorce. They started fighting when I found out I was the slayer."
"Nuh-uh! It was my foult." Dawn insisted
"They loved you, Dawn! They were glad to have one normal daughter, instead of a slayer, they-" she stopped, "But that doesn't matter. Robin Claire has a father. Jeff. And he's a good father."
"So? He's not her real father. What will you tell her when she's older?"
"Nothing. She doesn't need to know-"
Just then the phone started ringing. Buffy grabbed it,
"Hello?"
"Buffy?" asked a familiar voice
"Yes, what's wrong, Giles?" Buffy could hear the worry in his voice
"I'm sorry to call you with bad news, but we have a problem in Sunnydale." Giles told her.
