Chapter Four~ Calls to Buffy

A week had passed since Dawn had been in Los Angeles.  The whole week had been amazing. Connor had been showing Dawn around Los Angeles.  They went to the beach and the pier and to movies and things like that.  They also helped out with research whenever they could.

People floated in and out of the Hyperion all week.  People saying that they were having "strange encounters" from "things".  Angel Investigations solved the problem and the people moved on.  A woman came in one day of the week and said that her ex-boyfriend was stalking her.  It happened to be that her ex-boyfriend was a vampire.  Angel said that Connor could take care of this case because it was just one vampire, and all it needed was a stake through the heart.  So, that night Connor and Dawn decided to follow the woman at a distance until her vampire ex-boyfriend came along.  And then BAM!  The job was done.  Connor had staked him and the guy hadn't even put up a fight.  It was all too easy. 

It was Saturday morning and Dawn hadn't called Buffy since she'd been in Los Angeles, so she decided to give her sister a call.  Dawn walked over to the phone and dialed their phone number. 

It rang four times before someone picked.

"Hello?"

"Willow! It's Dawn!"

"Hey Dawnie!  How are things in L.A.?"

"Good……..actually", Dawn said, "Very good."

"Glad to hear it."

"How is everyone Will?"

"Well, everyone's fine.  Xander and Anya told me to tell you that their wedding is July 23, so you have to be back by the 21st because you are gonna be a bridesmaid."

"Really? Me?"

"Yeah, you, me, Tara, and Buffy."

"Cool, that sounds exicting."

"Yeah, we can't wait to see you again Dawnie.  It seems like you've been gone forever and it's only been a week."

"I miss you all too Will."

"Do you want to talk to Buffy?"

"Yes", Dawn said.

"Okay, hang on a sec."

It was about 30 seconds later that Dawn heard Buffy's voice on the other end.

"Dawn?"

"Hey Buffy!"

"Hi, how are you?"

"I'm good, you?"

"Great, what have you been up to? Angel hasn't been giving you a hard time has he?"

"No, Angel's been great."

"Good."

There was a pause.

"So", Buffy began, "What have you been doing?"

"Well, shopping with Cordelia, hanging out with Connor…"

"Connor?"

"Yeah, he's Angel's son."

"WHAT?!?!?!?!" Buffy shouted.

Dawn slapped her hand over her mouth and said, "Ooops."

"Yeah 'ooops', ANGEL HAS A SON!"

"WHAT?" Dawn heard Willow shout in the background.

"Yes", Dawn said calmly. "Connor is Angel's son."

"Who's the mother Dawn?"

"Uh……."

"WHO'S THE MOTHER DAWN?"

"D…Darla."

"DARLA! WHAT! UGHHH!"

"Buffy, calm down.  Why do you even care if Angel had a son with Darla?  I mean you two are over."

"I know. It's just, Angel could have at least given me some clue as to…"

"Listen Buffy, I have to go.  Bye.", Dawn said cutting Buffy off.

"No, Dawn, don't you even ha…"

Dawn slammed the phone down on the receiver before Buffy could finish.

"That went well", Dawn said.
