Hey! Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up. And I thank everyone for their reviews. And also for their ideas for chapters in the story! You all have great ideas, some I probably couldn't even think of. I got the idea for this chapter from Jodi, who reviewed my story and I also got the idea that Dawn accidently mentions Connor is Angel's son (from the last chapter) from Mickey802 and I had to give them credit for the ideas. And to DawnSummers (aka Kathryn) I'm going to try to interpret that thing about Dawn being the Key in a later chapter. There's gonna be C/A in this chapter for all you C/A fans. Can't think of anything else you need to know so, here's chapter six! Hope you like!
Chapter Six~ Have You Noticed Anything Lately?
About two weeks later Cordelia and Angel were in Angel's office doing some paperwork. They had been overloaded with cases lately plus Cordelia had been getting a lot of visions. The two of them were writing when Angel suddenly said, "Cor, have you noticed anything lately?
"Huh? Noticed what?" Cordelia said looking up, undeniably annoyed by Angel's question.
"I mean between Dawn and Connor."
"No."
"I mean they've been spending more time together. We barely see either of them anymore and yesterday I, I caught them holding hands."
Cordelia laughed.
"What's so funny Cor?"
"You, you're acting like this is a big deal!"
"It is a big deal!"
"No, it's not. Angel they're teenagers. What did you expect? We could throw them into the same environment and not have them feel a little attraction?"
"Yes!"
"Well, obviously things aren't going as you planned."
"But…"
"Look, this is probably just a little teenage crush. When Dawn goes back to Sunnydale in the fall it will all be over."
"And if it's not?"
"Well, then I say you and Buffy are gonna be seeing a lot more of eachother, "Cordelia said, "Maybe more than I like," she muttered at the end.
"What?"
"Huh?"
"Did you say something Cor?"
"Uh no…"
"Yes you did, you said that Buffy and I would be seeing eachother more than you like. And that means…."
"Angel, you know what it means, you know how I feel about you. I've told you more than once. I told you when you got pulled from the ocean and I told you when you and Connor finally worked things out."
"I know. And you know I feel the same way," Angel said laying his hand on top of Cordelia's. "Buffy and I are the past. You and I are the future."
Cordelia smiled as they both went back to work.
Meanwhile in Sunnydale…"I cannot believe Angel and DARLA had a son and he didn't tell me", Buffy said as she was pacing the floor of her living room.
"Buffy, Angel probably didn't tell you because he was too busy actually getting a grip on reality with the fact that he actually has a son. I mean babies are a lot of work." Willow said.
"I know, you're probably right, Angel would have told me if he could." Buffy said.
"Yes he would have", Willow said.
"And Dawn…" Buffy said but then suddenly stopped.
"Buff, what is it?" Asked Xander.
"Dawn said she had been hanging out with Connor. How could she be "hanging out with Connor if he's a baby?" Buffy said.
"Maybe she meant spending time with Connor", interjected Tara.
"No, from the sound of it Dawn didn't make it seem like she was spending time with a little kid. She made it seem like she was hanging with someone her own age."
"But that's not possible, " said Anya, "Children are born as infants and then progress into toddlers and then become children and then at thirteen years of age they are in adolescence."
"Yeah Ahn, you've got it down to a science", Xander said.
"But Anya's right guys, how could Angel's son be a teenager, I mean that's not possible right?" Buffy said.
There was silence throughout the room. Everyone knew that in this world anything was possible.
"Well", Buffy said, "We're just going to have to find out for ourselves."
"What do you mean Buffy?" Tara asked.
"I mean, we're going to L.A."
Okay, next chapter should be up soon. Please review! :)
