Chapter 2:
By: Tater
Title: Strength (Should it be something else like 'I survived for you' or 'Survial'?
Disclaimer: I own Lily and Liam. And I guess the idea, nothing else.
Rating: PG-13 or R
Summery: Buffy is 22, in LA and in hell. Not really, but life is horrible. Riley's a jerk. Yes I know it starts out bad. Infact, I'm not sure I should continue ot let it hang like that. What do you think?
AN: Please R&R. I will try to update it atleast every two weeks, sooner if possible, I'm in a play, live with my dad and am grounded from the computer over there, and am falling behind in school, so bear with me.


"Angel, man it's been real slow lately. Come on, let Anne and I head home, let Cordy and Doyle leave, as well as Faith. We all deserve a break." Gunn said.

"Gunn, no. Somethings coming, it never gets this quite around here you know that. Leave and you lose your job."

"Damn man, I'd think since you were seeing someone you'd losen up, guess Kate ain't too good, eh?" Gunn said laughing, he didn't like her too much, infact no one really did.

"Gunn that's our life, not yours. We haven't been together long enough to know anything yet."

"No," said Cordeila walking into the room "but you still think about her."

"Her?" Faith asked following.

"Buffy, Faith, he still thinks about her."

"No I don't."

"Oh come on, everytime we get a lead on where she might be, you rush over there and brood when you get back because she wasn't there. Personally, I think Giles, and Willow are hiding something about why she left. I mean, Buffy wouldn't just leave."

"Doubtful Cordeila. Buffy's moved on with her life, as have I... sort of, her life is probably the best it has ever been. Sunnydale has been well without her, maybe she left becasuse there were too many memories, and she couldn't move on; maybe it was for the best."

"Like you thought it was the best and left her alone to face the darkness, and the creatures of the night to get rid of your pain?" Cordeila left him with that in his head.

*******************************

Buffy drove on into the night. She didn't know where to go. Had no one to help her. Willow, Giles, and Xander had all ditched her after they found out she was pregnant, and her mom threw her out because she wouldn't abort them. Buffy wandered about Spike. Was he dust? No, too smart for that. Was he still in Sunnyhell? Nah, they would have tried to kill him. Maybe we was bad again, finally got the chip out... or was he with....

"Mommy?" Lily asked, interrupting her thoughts.

"Yeah baby?"

"I have to pee."

"Okay let me find a place to stop, it'll be a few minutes, think you could hold it?"

"Yep!"

"Good."

Buffy smiled at her daughter.

"Liam, what about you, do you need anything."

"Nope. I don't need nothing."

Buffy again smiled.

By now, this late at night, there weren't many cars on the road; and there weren't many buildings open either. Buffy was about to stop at a gas station when she saw a black car behind her that look like it belonged to the firm. She continued driving, and realized it was following her. She sped up, as did the car behind her, and at an intersection three other cars pulled up behind her. A little ways up Buffy saw a building that looked like a hotel, it's lights were on, and cars were there.

*Please let it be safe.*

She went faster and pulled up to the hotel honking her horn.

"Lily, Liam unbuckle and leave your things here we'll get them in the morning. Hurry, we haven't go any time."

She quickly got them out of the car as the others were pulling up and getting out.

Buffy ran with her children, as some of the firms men chased her. She pulled open the doors and saw a man that she knew too well, he, his men, and vampires.
************************

While Buffy was driving to this place, here's what happened at Angel's:

Spike walked in. "Hey, I got the food. Blood for me, Chinesse and blood for Angel, chicken and rice for Cordiela, rice for Faith, Doyle you never said what you wanted, and Gunn a slushie with a steak sub." He said unloading everything.

Faith walked up to him, "Thanks baby." then she kissed him.

Not even three minutes later a man walked in.

"Kyle," Angel said irrated, "what do you want?"

"Want what myself, my boys, and Wolfman N Hart want; to be rid of you."

"Awe, sweet, they brought these amtures to get rid of me." Angel said sarcasticly to the group.

"We have a propostion for you."

"What, you give me something and I let you destory the world?"

" I wouldn't joke Angel. I've heard you've been wanting this information."

"What information?"

"About the other slayer. You know the blonde one, the one who you fell in love with?"

***************************

Everyone turned to see Buffy standing there holding two children.

"Damn it Kyle. Are you everywhere I go. God!"

"Buffy, what the hell are you doing here?" Kyle and Spike both said.

"Sp-Spike?"

Angel, Spike, and the group all moved so that she could see them.

"No, no, no. Kyle you told me if I coroperated you'd leave them out of this."

"Well, you haven't. Again, I will only asked once, What the hell are you doing here?" Kyle turned to one of his men, "I thought Riley has everything under control? Your being held responsible."

"Kyle, didn't hear? You only mess with a slayer and her children so many times before she gets pissed. Besides, it's a new trend, women, ya know the one where we're sticking up for ourselves."

He stood there, dumbfounded. Now his plan for Angel wouldn't work, what would he do?

Angel chuckled slightly, "Well Kyle, looks like your plan to give me information about Buffy isn't going t work, seeing as how she's right there, and you can't do a damn thing to her now."

Kyle laughed in return. "Better make sure she agrees to that, because remember there are children involved."

He turned to his men. "Get the children."

They began to walk to them.

"Wait!" Buffy said "Kyle, come on you need me for the kids, and the prophecies. I coroperated with you... you said I could leave if Riley didn't stop beating me, he hasn't come on. Leave the children out of this. I'm sure me and you could work something out."

"Buffy, don't you get it?" Kyle said, as his men still advanced, "Good can't exist without evil, but evil can without good. Evil will win in the end. Besides you've had your chances to work deals with me, maybe had to told us who their daddy was we would be here today."

Angel was up behind Kyle and said "No, I don't think she does." Then punched him, sending him to the ground.

Kyle's men, now pissed, advanced faster towrds Buffy and her children. And it didn't help Lilah, her men, and 10 other vampires came in behind Buffy.



AN: Well, finally the second part is here. Sorry it took so long, but I got grounded from the computer. Sorry it's short too, but I'm working on it. Part three should be out later tonight, if not later tomorrow. I know I spelled the title wrong, and I'll fix that sometime soon. Please R/R this part. I have another story too. It's Together Again... a B/A fic after the Forgotten Day. Please R/R that one too.
