ANGEL'S

                                            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: My friends are just the best. I couldn't do this story without them. So thanks, guys.

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 16

          As Angel drove his thoughts wouldn't escape him. He was worried about Skylar. Since when could someone feel pain in their dreams? Another car came driving down towards Angel and Buffy.

"Oh, Angel, look out," said Buffy. "That car is close."

"Oh, right," said Angel. The car kept coming closer and closer. It purposely rammed into Angel's car sending it flying off towards the sidewalk. "Hang on!"

"AAH!" Buffy shrieked.

          The car flew up against a lamppost. The side of the car Buffy was riding in hit the post. Buffy touched her leg. It had slammed into the post along with the car and it was throbbing terribly.

"Buffy, are you OK?" Angel asked worriedly.

"I'm fine," she groaned. "What was that?"

"I have no idea. It came out of nowhere."

"We could've been killed. For the second time!"

"I know. Thank God we're okay."

"Come on, Angel. We can't worry now. We have to get home. Sky needs us."

"I know."

          Luckily the car wasn't too damaged. Angel started it up and headed for the hotel. At the hotel Connor had stayed with Skylar for an hour. Gunn had come in and told him to get to sleep. Gunn watched Skylar sleep. She quickly started to stir again. She began to moan.

"Skylar, wake up!" said Gunn.

As Skylar opened her eyes tears began to pour out of them. "It hurts!"

"Shush! It'll be okay," Gunn told her.

          Skylar started to weep openly. It hurt her so badly! Skylar flung her hands over her stomach. Her cries became worse. Gunn gently scooped her up and sat her down in his lap. He held her close.

"Uncle Gunn, where's my daddy?"

"He'll be back. Don't worry."

"AAH!" Skylar suddenly screamed in pain.

          Fred quickly ran into the room. She'd gone to hers and Gunn's bedroom for more books. Fred walked inside and sat on Skylar's bed.

"What's going on?" she asked.

Skylar started to groan. "I want my daddy!"

"Oh, sweetie, it's okay," said Fred, starting to tear up. She hated seeing Skylar in pain like this.

"Yeah. We're right here," Gunn added.

"No! I want my daddy! I want my daddy!"

          Gunn held her tightly. Fred looked up at Gunn with tears in her eyes. Skylar felt a big stab of pain in her stomach. She wrapped her arms around Gunn's neck and cried into his chest. Fred rubbed her hair. Suddenly Skylar's pink light began to glow out of her hands. The glow surrounded Gunn's neck. Fred's eyes grew wide. The light then faded. Gunn touched his neck.

"My cut. She healed my cut," he told Fred.

"What? She did?" Fred asked.

          Skylar didn't notice any of this. She was crying harder and harder. The pain felt like it just wouldn't stop!
