Today wasn't Connor's best day. Neither was yesterday. In fact today sucked. Sure it was graduation day, and that was awesome, but his girlfriend would have to meet his Dad, and that was not. Although, Samantha was excited about meeting Connor Angel's family. But that was only because she didn't know what she was getting into.

Connor grabbed his book bag and went to the last class of the day, and of the year, of his life. It was sad. School had always been fun for him. Even though he loved his father dearly, school was the best time he ever had. Unless he was fighting. Then it sucked.

Sam understood though. She knew that he fought for a cause. And she loved him even more for it. It was weird, once had told her about his whole destiny she was shocked. She didn't believe him. But with time she began to trust him more then she thought she could, and found out the truth after she was attacked by a huge rabbit. Connor came to her rescue and everything came into place. But the thing she didn't know was that he was born to a vampire.

That was why he was nervous. That was why he didn't want his father to arrive. But he had. Connor could feel him. It had taken him years to learn to feel the difference between a vampire and his father.

"Connor, what are you thinking about?" Sam asked to her boyfriend, as she sat besides him in the class.

"Huh?"

"Are you nervous about seeing your dad today?"

"Very." Connor said slowly. " I don't think you want to meet him. I mean it's not that I don't want you to. No actually it is that I don't want you to meet him."

Samantha frowned. "And why is that?"

"It's nothing against you. Its everything against my father. I never told him about you because every girl I ever brought home has turned. well. against me."

"Basically, he's like every father. Every father is out there to sabotage his child's relationship. It's his job."

"Not like this. One girl actually tried to kill me."

"I don't believe that for a minute."

Connor sighed. "Sam, the thing is, my father is not like any other father. It's literally not possible for any other father to be the same. And then there is Cordelia. She's Momish and is totally in love with my dad, but I don't think she knows. Then there is Wesley, he's cool but he's all brainy like and weird with all his knowledge. Gunn and Fred-"

"I bet I'll like every single one of them. They sound like wonderful people, who obviously care about you. You're lucky. My mother left me when I was four and my father was a drunk. You father is caring, this Cordelia girl is like your mother, you have Wesley who seems like he can help you with anything, and Gunn and Fred. I don't know anything about them, but I'm betting they're also great. I'm going to meet them. I'm going to love them. Because I love you."

"He's late. What if he forgot? What if he's in trouble? What if he wasn't even planning on getting here?"

"Angel!" Cordelia yelled. "We're early. He'll be here. He's a big boy, he can take care of himself."

"I know. But I'm nervous. He's got that girlfriend that he wants me to meet and I haven't seen him in a whole year."

"We all haven't" Wesley added.

"Wes, who is his father? Me or you?" Angel said, as he paced around.

"SorRy."

"Hey" I voice called out from behind. "Remember me?"

The Fang Gang turned around. Connor stood there with a skinny woman, much like Fred, with long brown hair, much like Cordelia's use to be.

"How could we forget." Gunn called out to the boy, hoping he could here him through Angel and Cordy's arms.

"Can't. breathe."

Angel and Cordelia stepped back. "Sorry, son." He looked at the girl. "You must be Sam. I'm Connor's father."

"I've heard so much about you."

"And I've heard so little."

"Well that's Connor for you. He's emotionally far away when you want him, but close by when you need him." Sam smiled.

"Great. share all of this with everybody."

"That's my job as the annoying, get into all the business girlfriend."

"I don't think you're THAT annoying." Connor joked. Cordelia coughed. "Sorry. Sam, this is Cordy. The guy who was suffocating me to death is my father."

"Sorry 'bout that."

"Now what I'm wondering is how it's possible that you are his father. You look so young."

"But I feel so very old."

Connor burst out laughing.

Everybody looked at him.

"Get it? He feels. oh forget it."

"So we're getting food before your big day. Or are we just going to stand here."

Gunn looked at Angel. "I'm feeling a little left out because I was not introduced."

"Sam this is Gunn."

"Thank you."

"Mmhm?"

"How have things been this year? Any. trouble?" Angel asked.

"Nice of you to be concerned." Connor said. "Oddly enough there were maybe four demons this year. and a giant bunny that would have made Xander's wife proud."

"Demons? Um. Connor. eh."

"Dad, she knows about the demon thing. She was the one attacked by the bunny."

Sam laughed. "And what a fun experience that was. But Connor was great. He swooped in like Batman in one of those old TV shows. Bam! Pow! Ouch! He was great."

"It was nothing." Connor whispered as he blushed.

"Yeah and since he told me about the prophecy, we've been training at yoga and self defense classes."

"Is there anything you didn't tell her?" asked Angel.

"I dunno."

"At least he didn't talk about the whole 'my father is a vampire' thing." Cordy said before realizing her mistake. "Opps."

"What!?"
