Chapter 2
Picks up right where Chapter 1 ended
As Buffy walked into the Diner it seemed everyone turned to stare at her. She was sure they couldn't tell she was pregnant but she guessed there wasn't much going on in this small town in Colorado. That put a smile on her face as she thought about the small Diner and the small town. No vampires, no demons, but especially no slaying. She would finally have a normal life, sort of. She walked up the cash register to face a girl about her age. "Hi, I saw your sign in the window and I was wondering if the job opening was still… open?" Buffy said. "Yes it is but are you sure you want to work here?" the girl said with a nice smile spreading across her face. "Sure I do, at least I hope I do" Buffy said, "what exactly is the job opening for anyway?" This brought another smile to the girls face. "It's just a simple waitress position, job pays only $6.00, you still interested?" the girl replied. "Yes I am, I just moved here and I really need a job." Buffy managed to choke out. "Well then you're hired, by the way my name's Grace and that's my dad John working behind the grill and that's my mom over there by the jukebox. Come on I'll show you around" Grace said as she started to lead Buffy to back. "Thank you, Thank you so much, oh, by the way my name is Buf.. Anne."
After Grace showed Anne around the Diner they got to talking and it came out that Anne didn't really have a permanent place to stay. So Grace told Anne that she had wanted to move out of her parent's house but she just needed a roommate. Anne gladly jumped at the opportunity. Even though she didn't know Grace very well she could tell that she was a good person but Anne knew before they got a place together, she would have to tell Grace about her pregnancy. "Grace, before we move in I need to tell you something" Anne stammered. "Look, if it's about you being pregnant, don't worry about it" Grace cut in. "How, how did you know I was pregnant?" Anne asked "Well I was in the doctor's office this morning when you came out and well everyone there heard you yelling at the doctor" Grace said quietly " I was there because I'm pregnant too, that's why I want to move out of my parents house also, they know about but I don't want them breathing down my neck, I mean that's probably why you left your home to right? Anne just nodded.
Grace had the perfect place for them to stay so the next week was spent moving their things in, well it was mostly Grace's things because Anne didn't own that many things. Grace's parents bought a lot of things for the both of them so luckily Anne had a bed and their living room had a sofa and a TV. It was a three-bedroom apartment so Anne and Grace decided to share the third bedroom as a nursery for their children.
That night Anne was in her room thinking about what she had left behind. Her mom, Giles, Xander, Willow, and Angel her sweet Angel. She dreamt that night about the never forget dream, she woke up crying, crying harder then any other night she had dreamt the same dream. It was because she finally realized that it wasn't a dream because it really had happened. Now she new who the father was, her Angel. She rushed to the bathroom as the morning sickness over came her.
At the same time in L.A.
Angel woke up and rushed to the bathroom to throw up, just as he had the last 3 weeks. He didn't know what was wrong but he couldn't think about himself right now, Buffy was missing and he had to find her. Just as he rushed into his bathroom Cordelia stepped out of the elevator. "Geez Angel, throwing up again, if I didn't know better I would think you were pregnant." She said. "Anyway when you get cleaned up I'll take you to Sunnydale" she said as the elevator door closed.
As she said those words an idea passed through Angel head but he pushed it to the back of his head. He would have to wait until he could speak to Giles and Willow about this.
Two hours later Angel and Cordelia pulled up in front of Giles apartment. Angel was able to tell them his story, his whole story, without much yelling. Except from Willow who keep yelling at him about not telling Buffy about the night that they shared. After she told them that Buffy was having dreams about that night he knew that she had remembered. This warmed his heart, as much as his heart could be warmed, to know that Buffy hadn't forgotten. Then he came crashing back to reality because Buffy wasn't there, she was out there on her own possibly pregnant. This part of the story was going to be a little more difficult to tell them.
"Guys I have something to tell you." Angel was about to say before he was interrupted by the one person he was hoping not to see on his trip to Sunnydale. Riley Finn. "Hey guys, sorry I'm late but…" he trailed off as he caught site of Angel. "What is he doing here?" Riley asked. "He came to help, which is a whole lot more then what you've been doing lately!" Willow said. "Angel what were you going to say before we were so rudely interrupted" she said as she glared at Riley. "Well before I say anything I need to ask Riley a personal question, When was the last time you and Buffy had sex?" "Our first time was our last time" Riley said quietly "about 2 ½ months ago." This brought a smile to Angel's face. "Well I'll tell you my theory, I think Buffy found out she was pregnant and didn't know who the father was or didn't want it to be Riley, so she ran away. Besides her and her baby's life would have been in danger if they stayed here." He said through tears "it's all my fault, if she had known about when I turned human she would have known it was my baby before she ran away. She's just trying to protect me. Knowing it would kill me to not be able to take my child to the park or watch their sports games." He broke down and cried. No one there knew what to do, they had never seen Angel act this way before.
