Chapter 11
'Angel, I'm late.' Cordelia replied to the now silently stunned Angel. After a couple of minutes he looked up at her.
'What?' he asked, as if he hadn't heard her the first time.
'I'm late. I went to the store to get a pregnancy test.' He walked over to her.
'You mean, we might be having a baby?' he asked, smiling and looking at her stomach.
'We might, that's why I got a couple of home pregnancy tests so we could find out.'
'Are you gonna do it now?'
Looking at the paper bag in her hands, she spoke.
'No time like the present.' She then made her way to the bathroom.
'I'll be right here.' Angel said as she closed the door behind her.
She came out of the bathroom about two minutes later.
'I did two tests, you know just to make sure.'
'What does it say?'
'I haven't checked yet, I wanted you to know the moment I do.'
'Okay, you ready?'
'As I'll ever be.' She said as they looked at the first test. Looking at it her face dropped slightly, it said she wasn't pregnant.
'Okay, not pregnant yet.' She said.
'Are you okay?'
'I'm fine. Okay last one.' They both looked down at the test and became confused.
'Okay, that one says you are pregnant right?'
'Yeah.' She said slightly teary eyed.
'So, which one is right?'
'I think we should make an appointment with the doctor, just to find out one way or another.'
'That's a good idea.'
'Angel, do you want this?'
'What?'
'I mean, do you want me to be carrying your baby?'
'Cordy, I love you and, the thought that you could be carrying our baby is just so overwhelming. I'm so happy for both of us, now we can truly become a family.' Then pausing. 'It is what you want, right?'
'Of course it is, but I just don't want us to be disappointed if I'm not pregnant.'
'Like I said before, I love you, and if you are pregnant, that's great, and if not, that's fine, there's plenty of time, what matters is, that we love each other. Okay?' he asked as he took her in his arms.
'Okay.' She replied.
At that moment Fred, Gunn and Wesley had all awoken and came out for breakfast.
'What's going on?' Fred asked, wondering what they had all missed.
'You gonna tell them, or should I?' Cordy asked.
'You go ahead.' Angel replied.
'We think we're pregnant.'
Fred could hardly keep still, and she ran over and embraced both Angel and Cordy in a hug.
'I'm so happy for you guys, when did you find out?'
'About five minutes ago, but we're still not sure, we're gonna make a doctors appointment to find out either way.' Cordy said smiling.
'I can't believe it, I'm, we're so happy for you guys.' Fred stated her happiness once again. They then went around congratulating each other and started breakfast.
The week went by quickly. They had watched Disney movies with the kids, taken Connor and Ben to the zoo and they were spending their last day on the beach. It was then that Cordy realised that the scene playing before her was a lot like her dream, the only exceptions being that Connor was still a baby and that they were surrounded by her friends, but thinking this over she would have like either. Her dream where she was alone with Angel and Connor, but also here she had the best of both worlds, she was also with her friends, her family.
The time finally arrived, and they had to leave. Saying their goodbyes and planning the next gathering they made their way back to LA. Once home they checked in with Lorne and went to bed, ready to make the doctors appointment in the morning.
Due to a cancellation, they were able to see the doctor after lunch and they made their way to the hospital. After waiting for what seemed like forever, they went in to see the doctor. After a few tests, it was confirmed that Cordelia was pregnant, they happily left after scheduling another appointment for a few weeks time.
A few months had past and Cordelia was beginning to show, Connor was getting bigger and with each new day, Angel knew the way he felt about Cordelia became stronger. Cordelia sat on the couch in the lobby, flicking through a pregnancy magazine, while Connor slept in his crib by her seat. Angel had been gone for a couple of hours saying there were a few errands that he needed to run, and when he arrived home he had a surprise for Cordelia.
'Hey honey, where've you been?' Cordy asked as he strolled through the lobby.
'Oh, I just had a few things to take care of.'
'Like what?' she said and gave him a kiss.
'Like these.' He said pulling a bunch of roses from behind his back.
'Oh Angel, there beautiful.'
'Yep, just like you.'
'Awww.' She said and gave him another kiss.
'Oh, and one other thing, you, me, tonight, dinner. Lorne's babysitting.'
'Really? Where are we going?'
'You'll see. The reservation is for eight o'clock.'
'Well I'd better find some thing to wear.' She said.
'How about this?' Angel said handing her a bag, that was sitting on the floor, hidden by the couch. She opened it and smiled and pulled him into a hug and placing yet another kiss on his lips.
'I think she likes it.' He said.
'She does.' Cordy replied as she held up the midnight blue dress. 'Thank you. I'd better go and get ready.'
Angel, dressed in a tux, waited for her in the lobby. Lorne had already arrived and they were just waiting for Cordy and then they could go. Then she appeared at the top of the stairs, Angel unable to keep his eyes off of her as she descended, realised, how much this reminded him of one of the Disney movies that they had all watched. Beauty and the Beast, that was the name, the scene where the beauty had walked down the staircase in her fabulous dress and danced with the beast. After complimenting each other they made their way to the restaurant.
They spent the evening dining at a very expensive restaurant. It was then that Angel finished his glass of wine and turned to Cordy.
'There was one other errand that I had to run today.'
'What was that?' she asked.
'I had to pick this up.' He said, removing a small velvet box from the pocket of his tux.
Cordelia was so surprised, she hadn't seen this coming, well not tonight anyway, but that didn't mean that she didn't wish for it.
As they sat, a soft song playing in the restaurant, wisped past them. And Angel knew that the song had relevance, that it was saying everything that he couldn't put into words.
~I want to be the face you see when you close your eyes
I want to be the touch you need every single night
I want to be your fantasy
And be your reality
And everything between
I want you to need me
Like the air you breathe
I want you to feel me
In everything
I want you to see me
In your every dream
The way that I taste you feel you breathe you need you
I want you to need me
Like I need you
I want to be the eyes that look deep into your soul
I want to be the world to you
I just want it all
I want to be your deepest kiss
The answer to your every wish
I'm all you ever need
I want you to need me
Like the air you breathe
I want you to feel me
In everything
I want you to see me
In your every dream
The way that I taste you feel you breathe you need you
I want you to need me
Like I need you
More than you could know
And I need you
To never never let me go
And I need to be deep inside your heart
I just want to be everywhere you are....~
'Cordelia, we've been friends now, for what seems like, my whole life, I've watched you grow and you've become a truly extraordinary woman. And I love you so much and I want to be with you, because for me, there is no one else. I guess what I'm trying to say is Cordelia, will you marry me?'
