PART 6 "Here we are love, Angel investigations, God he's such a prick!" "We better hurry Spikey, it's almost daybreak, you got the car ready?" "Yeah, petal this will be our greatest victory ever, kidnapping the slayer, the witch, the watcher and that Wesley bloke, that should get Angel's attention" "You wait here my pretty, I'll go and grab the slayer".

*************************************************** "Morning Fred" "Hey Angel, you're up early, have you seen Gunn?" "No, maybe he went out, I'm just going to check on everybody, be back in a minute". Angel checked the rooms, Connor, Buffy, Willow, Wesley and Giles were missing. "Fred!" "Angel what's the matter? Calm down" "They're gone, Buffy, Connor, Willow, Wesley and Giles are gone" Fred headed upstairs and saw a note stuck on Buffy's door. "Okay, I found a note. Well well peaches seems like I have the upper hand in this one. If you ever want to see your precious slayer again and her boyfriend, I think it must be a new one, she has so many though. He looked a bit young for her peaches but whatever gets ya going! Anyway you wanna see them again you'll come to the old warehouse tonight, until then your pal Spike. So this is from William the bloody?" "Yes, I better go to see the powers again, come on Fred, we'll be back before you know it, I'm sure Gunn is just out" "Okay".

*************************************************** "Lower being you are back again! We cannot keep doing your work for you" "Shut up and listen. Something is different, you told us Connor would be against us as well as Spike and Dru, but now Connor's back, so what's going on?" "Aaah, I see a change, you have done well warrior" "What do you mean?" "You have succeeded in bringing Connor to his home, where he's supposed to be, with you, his father and the slayer, his mother. You both love him with all your being, much the same way you love each other, well warrior the coming battle should not be difficult, you see Connor will be a great asset, William the bloody and Drusilla have many allies but do not fear you will succeed but not without a fight" "Do you know where Charles Gunn is?" "He is not lost mortal, he has went out, William the bloody has not taken him, this is the last time you will come to this place, and you are becoming dependant". "So what happens when all of this is done? Will Buffy go back to Sunnydale? Will everything go back to normal?" "Fear not, life will never be the same again, and I mean it in a good way, you will be rewarded if you take down William the bloody and Drusilla, but you will still be a warrior". "Angel what did they say?" "Gunn is out, this battle will not be difficult to win and we're becoming to dependant on them" "Yeah we have seen them a lot in the last week, okay well let's go back to the hotel, get everybody who's left together, make a plan and get our weapons ready and there will be no arguments Angel, I will be coming with you!" "No arguments, I swear".

*************************************************** "Slayer, slayer, slayer your in quite a pickle here" "What's with you Spike? Dru got you jumping through hoops again" "Slayer, you think you're so smart, but you are the one who is tied up" "You think you scare me? Get over it Spike, you'll never beat me" "Oh really? I may not and Dru may not but we'll certainly kill your new boyfriend with some ease" Spike began smirking when Dru came in and wrapped her arms around his waist "Has she cracked my sweet? Miss Edith predicts bad things" "Just teasing her love" "Your new boyfriend is quite the dish Buffy, sadly he won't live for much longer" "You hurt him, and I swear I'll kill you both!" Buffy jumped up from the chair, having untied the ropes on her wrists and kicked Spike onto the floor "I'm gonna kill you, you bastard!" Buffy withdrew her stake and pierced it into Spike's chest "Now now slayer, Miss Edith isn't too happy with you" Dru threw her against a wall and then helped Spike up "Are you okay daddy? She was going to hurt you, and I'll hurt her and her boyfriend for even laying a finger on you!" Buffy lay curled up in a ball hugging her stomach. Dru began to dance with Spike "Come on Spike, let's practice dancing on the slayer's grave, dance with me" "Anything for you my pet". Connor was in a backroom with Willow, Giles and Wesley tied together. "So any ideas how we're gonna get outta this one?" "I'm thinking just hang around and see if Angel turns up" "Just do whatever Spike or Drusilla say" "Giles I think your inner coward is escaping again" "Well I'm sorry, but Spike can be bloody vicious at times!" "Calm down Angel will turn up, all we have to do is wait, I mean Spike and Dru have far too many lackeys too dispose of by ourselves". "You guys depend far too much on my father" "Well Connor, you've never seen Spike when he's in soulless mode" "So? I will not let my mother be killed by Drusilla, I am not going to lose my family just after we've reconciled. I've done some bad things in the past few months but I realised where I went wrong, I'm not, no correction I can't lose my parents, there will only ever be space in this world for one vampire, and that's my dad". Connor began to cut through his ropes with the knife he had in his back pocket, then freed Wes, Willow and Giles.

*************************************************** "Right, you, Dawn and Fred will start disposing of the lackeys, coz he's got about 100 in there, and me and Gunn will go for Spike and Drusilla, once you've finished with the lackeys get the guys out and we'll meet you" "Okay, weapons we got, but I think I'm running low on courage" "Get it together Xander, we can't have you folding under the pressure" "Easy for you to say dead boy" "Xander you have nothing to lose, I have everything to lose!" "Sorry, I forgot how pathetic my life was, anyway let's go" "Xander I'm sorry, your life isn't pathetic trust me, it's just I'm really highly strung at the minute" "It's okay, you're right, I don't have anything lose" "Your friends, your family if we don't win we're all losing Xander" "I already lost the one thing I loved and now there is no way in Hell that I'll get her back, so let's just go at least I can help you get your life back" everybody rolled their eyes, they had never known Xander was so unhappy.

*************************************************** "Stop it! Please" "Hear her scream love, now that my pet is pain" "Your doing a wonderful job daddy, hurt her some more baby, for me" "Well for you, anything my vicious little killer" Spike took the knife and slashed the side of her cheek, making her scream out in agony. Outside Angel heard the screams "That's Buffy, she's in danger we better hurry up!" and Connor had heard them inside. "You wanna go my pretty?" "Really daddy?" "Go on, you've been a good girl" Drusilla circled Buffy then kicked her in the stomach again, Buffy trying to protect herself and her unborn, knowing she couldn't get up if she wanted to, after all the torture Spike and Dru had been inflicting on her, so she just sat in the corner in the foetal position being tortured by the wicked pair. Dru grabbed Buffy's head and smacked it off the floor causing her to bleed. "You're doing good ducks, keep going". "Okay that's my mom in there, being tortured by those bastards, you can sit here like lumps even though I've just untied you, or you can take out some lackeys while I go for the other two" "Connor, they're stronger than you" "When did you guys get so scared? When my mom and dad were together you grouped together and everything but now you give up straight away" "He's right, we'll go for the lackeys, good luck Connor". Drusilla was about to bang Buffy's head off the floor again when Connor came behind her and stood her up. "Miss Edith, you shouldn't say things like that! Miss Edith says my Spikey will hurt you little boy" "It's a doll you dumb bitch! Now get your stinking hands off my mom" Connor kicked Dru down again then smacked her head off the wall then got his knife and held it up to Dru's neck. At that moment Angel burst through the doors of the warehouse and Fred, Dawn and Xander began dusting the many lackeys along with Wes, Willow and Giles. "Hey dad" "Hey Connor, your doing a good job my boy" "You wanna kill her? I mean it would be more momentous for you" "No son, having that lunatic as your first official kill will be great for your self-esteem" "What the hell is going on! Peaches what are you fucking on about!?" "Oh Spike, you haven't met my son have you? This is Connor and he'll be killing Dru while I kill you, slowly and very painfully" "Trust me mate you won't be" "I think I will, you see ya pissed me off Spike! First you start by attacking my girl, then you kidnap my friends and try to kill my son and this is when you don't have a soul, but wait the best bit is still to come! When you do have a soul, feeling guilt and all you try to rape my girl! Well I'm sorry you don't get away with that kind of shit without payment!" Angel punched Spike then tripped and began to repeatedly kick him then pulled him back onto his feet and got the stake and pierced his chest "Don't you ever touch my woman again you bastard!" Spike tried to get away from the stake but it was useless, Angel had him trapped.

*************************************************** "What is going on?" "I do not know, I know we told him he would win, but we did not expect them to do it this quickly" "Well Destiny I believe he is no longer afraid" "Who? Connor or Angel?" "They both feel no fear, Angel feels so much love for Buffy that nothing can get in the way of it, and Connor is very much like his father, he doesn't want to lose his mother or Angel so they would do anything to stop anything getting in the way of them being a family, I must say this is extremely exciting to watch" "It is, is the popcorn ready yet Alexander?" "Yes, well lets sit back and watch William and Drusilla get their asses kicked!"

*************************************************** "Now what was the one rule I told you William, which I constantly drilled into your head" "Don't go after you grandsire's or sire's ex" "Exactly! You never listened, that's your problem" "Dad I'm getting bored" Connor got out his stake from his back pocket and in one swift flick of the wrist rid the world of Drusilla forever. The rest of the gang had finished off all the lackeys and noticing there was only Spike left, got Willow, Wes and Giles not noticing Buffy was still curled up in the corner. "Dru!" Angel and Connor began to laugh while Spike cried out for his dead lover. "Spike, I'd like to say I'll miss you when I kill you but I can honestly say, you are a worthless piece of shit who no one will even notice is gone, bye" Angel dusted Spike, officially rid of all the fang gang forever. Angel rushed over to Buffy who was curled up in a ball and carefully lifted her up "Come on baby don't bail on me now, come on Connor we're getting out of here" "Is mom ok?" "She's fine Connor, now get in the car with Gunn and the rest of them and I'll meet you at the hotel" "Okay, dad promise me she'll be aright" "She'll be alright, now go".

*************************************************** "They won Destiny, they did it, I must say that was exciting to watch" "It was my darling Alex, but we must keep our promise to Angel, we told him everything would be better and everything would change, we cannot go back on our word" "True, we cannot, well let's do it now".

*************************************************** Angel carried Buffy upstairs and placed her on the bed ever so gently then lay next to her just praying she would be okay. "Come on baby, get better me and Connor need you, our baby needs you" a bright line shone and filled the room and when it dulled down Cordelia appeared in front of them. "Hey guys, Buffy sick?" "Not exactly, why are you here?" "To make a promise good" Cordelia began to chant and Angel felt a feeling of agony run all over his body which crippled him for a few moments while Buff opened her eyes and was fine, there were no scars on her face, no injuries to her stomach. The pain left Angel's body and he felt the need to breath straight away. "Wow that was painful, what happened?" "The powers, they promised you life would be better and it is, you're human now Angel and you and Buffy can live the life you have always wanted. Buffy is fine and your little girl hasn't been harmed in anyway, it's like Spike and Drusilla never touched her" "Little girl?" "Yeah, a baby girl" "Wow, so how is life now Cordy?" "I'm lonely since they made me a higher power, I miss all of you guys, I have to go now, tell Xander I love him" Cordelia disappeared and it was just Buffy and Angel left together in the room. "What happened?" "The powers, they gave me back my humanity!" Buffy laid her head on his chest and could feel his heart beating "Wow" "Our little girl is fine" "We're having a girl?" "Yeah baby, our baby girl" "I love you, so much" "I love you too, I'll never leave you I swear" "I know you won't baby, I think we should call her Sarah, as in our little princess" "It's a beautiful name" Angel placed his hands on Buffy's stomach and couldn't believe that inside was his second child, he never even thought he could have one child, but now he had all he needed. "Hey Buffy are you okay? Am I intruding?" "No come in Xand, I'm fine" "Xander remember how you said you lost the one thing you loved?" "Yeah" "You never lost her, Cordelia stills love you, she told me to tell you, don't give up hope coz I promise we are going to get her back" "Thanks man, Connor's wanting to see the two of you" "Tell him to come up". "Mom are you okay?" "I'm fine baby, come here" Connor sat next to his mother noticing something was different with his parents. "What's up with you guys? You seem different" "Nothing, you need to know something, I'm not a vampire anymore Connor, the powers that be gave me my redemption" "You mean you're human?" "Yeah, okay I know you're probably finding it hard enough to adjust with finding out everything like only a week ago that I was your mom but we need to tell you something" "I'm fine with the family thing, it's what I've always wanted, to be loved by my parents and to live in a stable home" "Well in about 8 months time you're gonna have a little sister" "You mean you're pregnant?" "Yeah" "Wow" Connor hugged his mother then father then went downstairs to tell everyone the news. "Wow he's very accepting" "He's your son" "Oh shift the blame on to me, yeah let's just forget you were the one who got me pregnant in the first place" "Shut up" "Make me" Angel kissed her passionately then they lay in each others arms just content with life.
