SURPRISE
NOTE: I am not lucky enough to own any of these characters because they belong to Joss and the WB. But I own Skylar (in a way) and any other character you don't recognize.
A/N: This story is the second story in my Skylar series. I can't say how many stories there will be. I also can't say how long this story will be, either. Mainly because I'm not sure yet of what will happen. Also some of you may not have read the very first Skylar story "Angel's Gift" so you may not quite understand this.
CHAPTER 7Angel and Buffy walked into the hotel. Angel had his arm around her wait. Lorne looked up from his martini bar. He smiled.
"You two were gone a while. What? You can't call now?" Lorne joked.
"Sorry, Dad," said Angel. "We were having a great time."
Buffy kissed his lips. "Good night." She headed upstairs.
"Uh, not to be nosy, but what happened?" Lorne asked, when Buffy was out of sight.
"Buffy and I are back together," Angel replied.
"Yes! I mean, uh, great. Finally." Lorne said the last word under his breath.
"So how was Skylar?"
Lorne had a puzzled look on his face. "Was I in charge?"
"Yes…"
"Then she was a doll. But "Kevin" kept making appearances."
Angel sighed. "It's just a phase. She'll grow out of the imaginary friend thing."
"Well, here's hoping."
"You're back together? Seriously?" Dawn asked Buffy. Buffy had just come up to Dawn's bedroom.
"Yes. Tonight was great. I can't believe we're together again."
"Neither can I. Way to go. Looks like we're both lucky in love."
"Why's that?"
"Because Richard Stevens asked me to go to the
Valentine's dance with him on Friday night."
"Let me guess. Football star, right?"
"Basketball star. But close."
Angel stepped into Skylar's bedroom. She was asleep. The blinds and a curtain covered the broken window. Angel walked over and sat down near her. He touched the side of her face. Skylar stirred a little and opened her eyes.
"Hey, Sky. I'm home," Angel smiled at her.
"Hi, Daddy. Did you have fun?"
"Loads. Were you good for your uncle Lorne?"
"Yes. But, Daddy, he doesn't see Kevin. You see him, right?" Angel looked around the room. He didn't see anyone. "He left again."
"Sky, I know things have been tough. If you ever need anyone to talk to just come to me. I love you."
"I love you, too. Night, Daddy."
"Hey. Is it just me, like it always is, or is it cold in here?"
"No! I mean my window is open a little."
"Do you want me to close it? I don't want you to get sick."
"No! I'm OK, Daddy."
"All right." Angel kissed her cheek. "Night."
"Night." Angel left his daughter's room.
A/N: Sorry that I haven't posted sooner. But as you guys know it wasn't my fault. Well, I hope you liked this chapter. More is on its way. Thank you for the reviews I've gotten. More would be nice, my friends.
