"And?" Angel asked again

    "Well you are the father but there's more it's......you need to go see

the Powers," Lorne finally said after minutes of silence.

    "The Powers?" Buffy asked entering into the end of the conversation.

    "Buffy, what are you doing back here?" Angel asked almost afraid that

she had heard he was the father.

    "I got tired of waiting," Buffy confessed.

    "Just give me a minute, you can go wait in the car," Angel replied.

    "Your sending me to the car?" Buffy asked getting angry

    "Buffy please sweetie," Angel replied sweetly Buffy frowned and turned

on her heel.

    "Fine," She said over her shoulder and left.

    "Feisty girl you've got there," Lorne laughed

    "Why would the Powers want to see me?" Angel asked

    "Well most vampires don't have children, well in that sense," Lorne

said, "Maybe they want to tell you what happened."

    "Hm maybe, well thanks for helping," Angel turned and followed the

trail Buffy had taken a few minutes earlier.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     When Angel got out the car he saw Buffy sleeping in the front seat.

She had put the top up on the black convertible. Angel just stared at her,

she was so beautiful when she slept, she was even more beautiful when she

was awake. He finally walked over to his side of the car and climbed in.

Buffy woke when the door shut, "Angel?" she asked

     "Yeah Buffy it's me I've got to go somewhere I'm gonna take you home

real quick, is that okay?" Angel asked

     "Um sure yeah," Buffy said sitting the seat up and looking weird at

Angel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Angel stopped at a stop light, they heard a scream and looked to where

the sound was coming from. A woman was running from a man- or should I say

vampire, Angel looked and Buffy, she reached inside her coat and pulled out

the stake she had from the night she had gone patrolling and somehow ended

up on Angel's door step. Angel shook his head.

    "What?" Buffy asked

    "No way, your not going," Angel replied

    "Yes I am....remember this is my job HELLO CHOSEN ONE HERE," Buffy

shouted the last part (Hormones getting to her)

    "Buffy I don't want you...or the baby to get hurt," Angel cupped

Buffy's check.

    "Fine go," Buffy said finally giving up. Angel opened the door and ran

towards the girl and the vampire. When the vampire saw him running towards

him he took off running in the direction of the car. Angel bent down to help

the girl.

    "What was that?" she asked shaken up by the whole experience

    "Nothing, Are you alright?" Angel asked looking at the woman's neck for

bite marks. There was nothing.

    "Um yeah," she said standing up.

    "Where do you liv-" Angel heard a scream....Buffy's scream. His heart

began pumping he remembered that the vampire had fled in the direction Buffy

was in. He took off running to Buffy. He found her laying outside of the

car. She had a cut above her eye. There was a stake in her hand and some

ashes scattered on the clothes.

    "Oh God Buffy are you alright?" Angel asked running over to her.

    "Fine, I saw the vampire running so I got out and yelled at him and then

we started fighting, he pulled my hair, that's why I yelled," Buffy

explained.

    "Buffy Summers, I told you to stay in the car," Angel said helping her

up.

    "What should've I of let the vampire get away, no sorry," she said

back.

    "DAMNIT BUFFY YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN HURT.....GOD YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN

YOURSELF KILLED....AND THE BABY....GOD BUFFY YOU COULD'VE KILLED THE

BABY!!!" Angel shouted. Buffy whiced at his words and rubbed her stomach.

    "God with the way your acting you'd think the baby was yours," Buffy

said walking over to the car. Angel silently laughed to himself....little

did she know that Angel was in face the father of her child....he smiled the

whole way home.
