GIFT
NOTE: I do not own these characters and I am only using them for the fun purposes of fan fiction. But I do (pretty much) own Skylar.
A/N: I'd like to give a shout out to my gal pal Gidgetgirl for the inspiration and for helping me to create the totally cool character in Skylar. Thanks Gidget! You're so cool! Oh, and you might want to take a look at Gidgetgirl's stories. They're, in a word, awesome! You also might want to check out stories by Balticwoman, Pyro Bear, and Lian. Three great young authors. J
Second A/N: This story is a total AU and is completely unconnected to my other stories. In this story one reason Angel went to L.A was because he (Angelus) sired a pregnant woman and killed her husband. The pregnant woman returned, still pregnant, and was one evil vampire. Angel and his friends (Buffy takes the place of Cordelia in this) and Connor stake her and save the baby. By the way, I don't know much about Buffy so there is no need to stone me if I make a mistake. I just like Angel and Buffy as a couple and I hate Cordelia right now. (Very much!)
CHAPTER 6Three weeks later Angel's birthday rolled around. He was not in the spirit of celebrating at all. He was sitting at his desk in his office. Buffy walked in. She had two large boxes with giant bows on top.
"Hi," Buffy greeted.
"Hi," Angel mumbled.
"I got you a present. So did Dawn. She would have given it to you herself but she didn't want to bother you."
"Thank you." Angel was staring down at his desk.
"Hey, are you hungry? Because Fred made you a cake to cheer… to uh, make you happy."
"Go ahead and enjoy it. I'm not hungry, Buffy."
"No. But you sure are brooding."
"Don't start with the brooding jokes. I'm not in the mood."
"OK," Buffy sighed, sitting down. "Are you not in the mood to talk about everything that happened last month or are you just not in the mood to talk about what happened between us?"
"I don't know," said Angel.
"Angel, everything is going wrong. Skylar is gone, you keep snapping at Connor, and you're just being…"
"Evil? Yeah. I was born to be that way."
"Angel! Please. You are not evil."
"Then why was my daughter taken from me, huh?"
"I don't know and I'll be damned if I ever think you deserved that," said Buffy.
"Being damned is no fun. Believe me," said Angel. "I'm just not ready to move on."
"I definitely understand that. I'm not ready to move on, either. But what about us?"
"Us? There's an "us" now?"
"Maybe. I want it to be."
"You do? What happened to "you're an evil vampire and I'm super slayer"?"
"It's called I'm not over you," said Buffy. "I want to give us a chance. But only if you do."
"I need to think about it," Angel replied.
"If you're in love it's a simple yes or no."
"Yes, I love you, Buffy. No, I'm not sure if I want an "us", though." He stood up and left out of the office. Buffy sighed.
Angel headed upstairs. He went into his bedroom and closed the door. Once the door closed something unbelievable happened. A giant ball of glowing energy appeared in a corner of Angel's room. He gasped. What on earth? Suddenly the ball disappeared. A young girl was left in its place. The girl had golden blonde hair, sparkling light blue eyes (like the sky), and she was pretty short but looked to be about six years old.
"Oh, my God!" Angel exclaimed.
The little girl whispered in disbelief, "Daddy?"
A/N: Mean, Ivorycat. I had the nerve to cut right into it. It adds to the suspense. *Evil laughter* Please review.
