AN/ This one is fairly short…And I think, not counting the epilogue, it will be the last. I know, a lot of you are going to say that it is too easy with Angel and Connor stuff, but I figured the circumstances were different…Connor confessed, and it had only been a couple weeks rather than like four months! So, all that said! PLEASE REVIEW!

Chapter Six

Connor was nervous now. He was standing outside Angel's door. Fred and Gunn were nowhere to be seen. Faith was still asleep…There was no one around besides him and Angel. Which he knew was either really bad, or possibly good…It would give them time to talk.

"Dad?" He questioned, walking into the room.

"I'm your dad now?" Angel asked, very Angelus like.

"You always were…Look, I am sor-" Angel cut him off.

"Look, I know what you think I did, but I didn't touch Holtz…I talked to him…All that stuff about the letter, and the stuff he said-that was all true. You can choose to believe what you want, but I didn't hurt him. I don't do that anymore." Connor searched his fathers eyes for a sign of whether he was lying or not.

"I believe you," he finally said.

"Why didn't you believe me before?"

"I don't know…Your eyes. They are so truthful…You seem very sincere."

"I am…You are my son. I love you. No matter what you do…And you did confess. What made you confess, anyway?"

"Faith…" He said softly, "She understood me. We have a lot in common."

"You do. You do with me to, ya know?" Angel said.

"I guess we do…I really am sorry…I just…I mean, if you didn't kill my father…My other father," He corrected himself, "then who did?"

"Connor…There are so many things in LA…it's a bad place. It could have been anyone…Anything. I am sorry…You didn't deserve any of the things that have happened to you."

"And you didn't either…You are good now…I realize that…Understand it."

"What made you change your mind?" He asked.

"Faith." Connor answered.

"Wow, you have been spending a lot of time with Faith, haven't you?"

"Well, she has only been here for not even a week…But yeah. She is a nice girl…Like I said, she understands me."

"Do you like her?"

"Yeah…I guess I do…I mean, I don't really understand the whole boy and girl thing that happens here…There weren't any girls in Quor-toth."

"You should tell her." Angel told him.

"What?"

"You should tell her you like her. If you don't do it while you still can, then it will be too late," He said, thinking about everything that had happened with Cordelia.

"Dad…"

"Yeah, Connor?"

"Thank you for forgiving me."

"Well, forgiveness is a big thing with me. Its why we are all here."

*****

Connor knocked on Faith's door. She was still laying in bed…Not sleeping, she couldn't sleep. She was just resting.

"Come in," She said. She already knew who it was.

"Hi Faith."

"Connor…Hi, look, about what happened last night…"

"That's actually what I wanted to talk about."

"You go first." She said, softly.

He moved to sit next to her, where she was laying on the bed. She sat up, and looked at him. All the sudden he started to get that nervous feeling again.

"Well, I was talking to my father, and he said that I should tell you this…And now I don't really know how to say it…See, there aren't any girls where I am from, and well, I like you Faith…You are really nice, and-"

"Wow, that is the first and only time, I will ever be called nice," She said, laughing, "Look Connor, what happened…It was nice, but-"

"But what? We have a lot in common…And you really understand me…You know what I am feeling, and you really helped me realize what I was doing to myself, and everyone else."

"Wow, you are a really sweet guy Connor, but I have done so much, and I don't deserve-"

"Well, I think after all you have been talking about forgiveness and redemption, well, you deserve everything…You may have done terrible things before, but I don't know about that stuff. All I know is that now you are very nice. And I like you, a lot." he finished.

"Wow…I guess I like you too, Connor," She said with a smile. She put her hand on his cheek again, "You really are a great guy."

He pushed his face to hers, and they kissed deeply. For the first time Connor thought that he understood the world around him. It didn't seem so bad.

And for the first time in her life, Faith was actually happy with who and where she was.

She felt like she had finally gotten her redemption…Connor.
