Chapter 15

I'm sorry I didn't update sooner. I don't really have any excuses cause we got two days off from college and work from ice, but I've been spending my time reading fanfic rather than writing it.

Thanks for the reviews and I already know how this is going to end, I just have to sit down and actually write it.

Connor looked at the Buffy, knowing she wasn't going to like the little bit he knew about her.

"Well?" She asked, still hostile from learning of a possible relationship between Angel and Cordelia.

"Know some about you. Everyone just calls you the B-word, instead of using your name. "

"The B-word? Why?"

"I'm not sure. I think because they're afraid Angel will hear them."

"Oh."

"All I really know about you is that you died and then-"

"What?"

"Again?"

"How?"

"I'm dead?"

The entire room jumped up wanting answers.

Connor stared at them and continued. "And then was brought back after a few months."

"How?"

"Months?"

"Why?"

"From what I heard you died saving your sister, which also-"

"Sister?"

"I don't have a sister."

"You don't have a sister?" Connor asked. "But they said she was the key but because you both had the same blood you died in her place."

"But I don't' have a sister."

"Maybe you do. You just don't know her yet. Maybe you have a half sister?" Willow suggested.

"Half sister? I know mom wouldn't, and dad…well dad, okay call dad when this is over. So I died, but you said I was brought back, how?"

"I'm not sure exactly how. I know Willow was able to do it."

"Willow? You brought me back?"

"I did? Well, yay me, I guess."

"You say it was months later? That would have had to be a very powerful spell. Very dangerous." Giles said. "It's not at all a smart thing to attempt."

"What do you mean?" Willow asked.

"I mean, it's foolish and I can't believe that you, rather future you would be so stupid."

"Stupid?"

"Giles, hello! It worked. Connor said Buffy's alive."

"At what costs? He doesn't know her."

"So, I could be different? How?"

"I don't know. There's a lot of different things that can go wrong with those spells."

"You don't' know?" Buffy looked to Connor.

"No." Connor shook his head. "But they haven't said anything about you being different. You're still alive so I figured you were okay."

"Maybe. Is that all you know about me?"

Connor nodded.

"Great. Wonderful future to look forward to. Speaking of which, I want to know more about this Cordelia and my boyfriend thing."

Angel shifted uncomfortably, "Buffy, I don't think it's like that."

"Well, I want to know."

"They're not together. But Fred says they should be."

"She does, does she?"

"She always says this word, um, kyerumption. I don't' know exactly what it means. I never bothered to ask, but it has something to do with the two of them being together." Connor looked to the ground, not wanting them to see how much this line of conversation was disturbing him.

"But that's just her opinion, right?" Cordelia jumped in.

"I guess. But Gunn and Lorne see it too."

"Really?" Buffy asked, the edge creeping back into your voice.

Connor shifted his weight, still looking at the ground. "Well, I see what they're talking about. But, now, it's not the same."

"The same as what?" Buffy wanted to know.

"The same as you. He looks at her sometimes, like he cares, but he looks at you like you're all he sees. It's just different."

"Really?" Buffy asked again, this time softer.

"Yeah." Connor told her, watching the way her eyes focused on Angel. He didn't understand why they weren't together in his time.

Angel moved closer to Buffy, wrapping his arms around her. "Stay?" She whispered.

"Promise." he answered.

The other's smiled at the couple, before getting back to business.

"Okay, so Angel's the last one, and since you're his son, this should be fun."

I'm going to try, I want to stress the word try, to finish this story this week, because next week is Spring Break and I'm going to be in Chicago, without internet access.

Please Review and let me know what you thought. Thanks!
