"So what it is sweetie?" Lorne asked

      "What did you and Angel talk about?" she asked tapping her foot on

the ground, it was a reflex.

      "Nothing important, you know just about that little baby growing

inside of you," Lorne replied putting his hand on Buffy's stomach and making

funny faces.

      "What about my baby?" Buffy asked

      "Ohh just about the Powers-that-be," he answered still making faces

at Buffy's stomach

      "Powers-that-be, that sounds so familiar,"

      "Well of course it does they are the ones that made it possible for

you and Angry to have a baby," Lorne said finally looking up at her.

      "Angry?" Buffy asked

      "Angel,"

      "Ohh Angel.....ANGEL???? Angel is the father of my child?" Buffy

shook her head in astonishment and stepped back away from Lorne.

      "Hunny you need to come with me, the Powers-that-be have got to fill

you in," Lorne grabbed Buffy's hand and they made their way through the

crowded club.

      "So Angel what you're trying to tell us is that Buffy isn't missing

but she is gone?" Xander asked

      "She was here like 20 minutes ago when I was sleeping," Angel

replied

      "Why was she here?" Willow asked

      "She said that she was in the graveyard and Whistler showed up and

the next thing she knew she was on my front door step,"

      "Why did he send her here?" Giles asked

      "Well.....because the baby is mine," Angel said breaking into a

smile.

      "WHAT?" they all asked in unison

      "Do you remember that day that Buffy came down here after

Thanksgiving? Well my blood mixed with a demons and I was human for the

day..." Angel started

      "And you two got all pelvic?" Xander filled in

      "Yes and then there was this big old fight and to say the world I had

to take the day back and become a demon again, Buffy's memory of that day

got erased, as did everyone else's," Angel told them the story of the

Forgotten Day

      "But you remember?" Giles questioned in his British accent

      "Yeah they let me remember so we wouldn't make the same mistake as we

did before," Angel replied

      "And how again is Buffy pregnant?" Xander asked

      "Well she must have gotten pregnant when we were together and the

powers-that-be must have let her keep it after they took back her memory,"

Angel gave them his theory

      "Hmm,"

      "Hmmm?? What Giles?" Willow asked

      "Angel do you have any books on prophesy?" Giles asked ignoring

Willows question

      "All of them," Angel replied

      "Let me see them," Angel hurried up stairs the gang heard some things

rustling around and then Angel's footsteps coming back down the stairs. He

had books piled up so that he could barely see over them.

      "What this all about Giles?" Willow asked

      "When Buffy was to face the master I read every prophecy about the

slayer and remember seeing one about the slayer's child and never remembered

it until Angel said something about the Powers-that-be. They only protect

Warriors and/or future Warriors..."

      "Which means Buffy's baby is a Warrior?" Xander asked

      "Maybe, grab a book," Giles ordered and they all obeyed
