Part II

"Angel-face, look at this. 'Rileno Gotti Suspected in Death of Younger Brother'." Buffy read out loud from the paper, laying in her lovers embrace as he kissed an angelic trail up her arm.

"Soon, he will join his brother, Dona. What is the plan for the week. I can almost hear the churns in your head turning as we speak." He asked, looking her in the eyes.

She sighed, rising from the bed and taking the sheet with her. She stood by the window and looked out at the early morning sky.

"The sun is just rising, lover." She whispered.

"So it is, you have to answer me." He said, sitting up.

"Oh Angel, I don't want you involved in this. It makes it so much harder to do what I need to do knowing your a target. He had someone shoot you already. I wish I could take this all back to how it used to be..."

"What, so now, you don't want us? You're so afraid that..."

"Let me finish. I just wish that all this had been settled before we gave us another try. We know the risk. We have sworn to accept the outcome of all missions. It just doesn't make it any easier. Your special. You are a loss I can't take." She finished, turning to him. He just stared at her face.

"I'm a big boy, Dona. Don't worry about me." He said firmly.

"How can I not." She yelled. "I've never had a weakness. Ever. Not Dawny, not Faith, no one. I'm what you call unbreakable. That's not so anymore. Because one look from you, one smile and I want to melt into you. I want to absorb you so that I can have you to myself and keep you there and protect you because I can't breath without you. When I think about you hurt I wanna die, Angelus."

He stood from the bed then, clutching his heart as though someone had bashed his lungs to the point of collapsing.

"Don't, don't ever say that. I am not a reliability for you. I will never be one. You may feel that way, and I understand that, but you will never show it. EVER! If it should ever happen and you should have to choose, it better be yourself." He ran a shaking hand through his tousled hair. "We have a problem. Whenever you feel like this, you come to me, Dona. I don't want your emotions, the emotions I induce to be considered a weakness. If anything it will be your fire. Your fuel."

"But what if..."

"If, anything should happen, to either of us, we will deal. That's the way life is. I love you, you love me. That's all that's forever. And as long as we have that, whatever happens, doesn't matter. Now come here."

She walked slowly and crawled up his body and into his lap. He gathered her in his arms and brought her to his chest.

"We can't be taken from each other unless you allow it, Dona. We are forever in here." He explained, bringing her hand to his heart.

"And here." She whispered, bringing his hand to her stomach.

"Morning, William." Faith smiled, walking into the breakfast room, carrying a croissant.

"Morning, beautiful. Any word on your sister or Peaches?" He asked, sipping his coffee.

"Nope, sorry. Anything new I should know about?"

"Well, actually, no, I was just wondering how long we would have to do our usual groping." He smirked.

"Actually, the secret is out. They know about us....courting, I suppose you could call it." She smiled, walking and plopping into his lap.

"Too bad, I liked keeping the secret. It made me horny."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What are you trying to...." He was cut off from the shrill of a phone. "Hello?" He almost yelled.

"Hello, Angelus. Long time no talk." A sultry voice spilled from the phone.

"Darla, I don't have time for you right now. I'm in the middle of something very important." At the sound of Darla's name, Buffy stiffened and Angel gripped her harder, bringing her ever closer to his body.

"Oh, you can't be talking about lil miss Buffy, can you? Come on Angelus, get over it. She was so high school."

"You're right, she was so high school and so college and so now and so my everything. Do you have a real reason or can we end this now so I can get on with my life?" He sighed.

"You mean you don't miss me?" She pouted.

"Darla, we've never been together. There was what, one kiss and that was in the...."

"Can you please get over yourself. I have a message. Word has it your Dona has made quite a mess of things. Gotti is out for blood and he wants it smeared all over your face. What will you do then, Angelus? Who will you run to?" She laughed. He clicked, mid laugh and turned to look at Buffy.

"Were you trying to tell me something?" He asked, anxious.

"Darla? How long has she been calling you?"

"You're pregnant? Is that what you were saying?"

"So she still wants you I see."

"Dona! Answer me!"

"Yes! YES! I'm pregnant. We're going to have a beautiful baby and I'm so...happy, okay?"

"Oh baby." He moaned, hugging and kissing her. "We're going to be parents! We are going to have a baby. My God, thank you. You've given me everything I've asked for."
