"Buffy wait," Angel yelled at the angry slayer

      "NO," she shouted back picking up her pace, she had no clue where she

was going and didn't really care.

      "Buffy you're being silly," Angel said running after her, yes she was

the slayer and she could move fast but she was also pregnant and that slowed

her down enough so that Angel could easily catch up. He grabbed her arm and

twirled her around so she was facing him. He could see the tear swelling up

in her eyes, "Sweetie what's wrong?"

      "I'm scared," Buffy cried. Angel pulled her into his arms holding him

close to his body.

      "Of what?" he asked still holding her close. He knew but he thought

it would be good for her if she admited to it, got it all out.

      "What's inside me," Buffys voice was muffled by Angel's shirt, it

made her sound like a child. Angel tigtned his grip on her.

      "Let's go home?" it was more a question than a demand he knew that

Buffy was very sensitive right now. Buffy pulled away and looked into his

chocolate brown eyes.

      "Yeah...Angel I am sorry but I mean I have this thing growing inside

me and I don't know if its human or some demon spawn or both!!" Angel

grabbed Buffy's hand silently accepting her apology. They walked back to the

AI.

      Cordy, Doyle, Angel, and Buffy were all sitting around watching a

movie," Pst...Angel..." Doyle whispered

      "Huh?" Angel whispered back. Doyle nodded his head in the direction

of Buffy. Angel followed his gaze and saw a sleeping Buffy. She looked so

peaceful and content. "I better put her to bed." With that Angel picked the

sleeping slayer up and carried her downstairs to his room. He tucked Buffy

into his bed and gently kissed her, "Goodnight Buffy," he whispered as he

turned out the lamp by his bed and turned to leave. Angel gasped when he saw

the shadow standing in the doorway, "What are you trying to do to me Cordy?"

Angel whispered.

      "I was just wondering what happened today with Lorne...do you know if

you're you know?" Cordy asked

      "Yeah Lorne told me but come up-stairs I don't want Buffy to wake up

and hear it's better I tell her myself," Angel walked up the stairs and

Cordy followed. When she was sure they were gone Buffy sat up in Angel's

bed. ///So Lorne knows something....looks like he's going to get a little

visit from the slayer///
