New Kids on the Block
Or perhaps that should be what would be, the ensouled vampire. Either way the little boy with huge chocolate eyes and spiky dark hair really did look like his future nickname would be, an absolute Angel. He shyly smiled at Cordelia and Doyle who were both frozen in shock.
Doyle was the first to voice his thoughts. "Oh sh..." Cordy's hand clapped over his mouth.
"Crap." She finished for him with a warning look at the five little pairs of eyes that looked up at them.
The two then turned to Giles who had an expression that seemed to repeat Doyle's almost statement as he gazed from baby Angel to a little boy with short slicked back blonde hair and blue, blue eyes that Cordelia realized with almost shock was Spike, his usually prominent cheekbones softened by infantile roundness. He had still been wearing his leather trench coat when the spell was cast and it now swished around his tiny jean clad ankles as he swayed under their scrutiny next to little Buffy, like the other two, was still in the clothes she'd been wearing and Doyle had to smirk at the little girl in the short skirt and halter-top.
Turning Doyle found that Cordelia and Giles seemed to be at a loss as to what to do so he stepped towards the trio. "Hey munchkins, what are your names?" He asked cheerfully, unsure as to what Angel and Spike would remember about themselves.
"My name's Liam." Angel announced proudly, his own Irish lilt coming out in his speech.
"I'm Buffy!" She piped up with a winning smile. "Are you the baby sitter?"
Doyle smiled to himself and nodded at the little girl. "That's right I'm Doyle and that's Cordelia and Mr. Giles."
Buffy grinned and waved at the other two. "When's mommy coming back Doyle?"
Doyle turned and arched an eyebrow at Giles who stood silent for a few seconds before catching on and with a nod turned to the phone to ring Joyce.
"In a little while Buffy." Giles said, covering the receiver as he spoke.
"Now what about you kiddo, what's your name?" Doyle asked Spike.
"William." Spike said quietly, his head down, eyes on the floor.
"Hi, William." Cordelia greeted, crouching down in front of him. "How are you?"
"I'm fine thanks." He replied bashfully, stubbing his toe against the ground.
"So, how would you three like to go watch some TV?"
"Cool!" Buffy yelled while Angel and Spike looked at him in confusion.
"Come on, we'll just sit you guys down with Willow and Xander..." Doyle turned a kid under each arm with Cordy holding little Spike's hand, to find Willow and Xander had disappeared.
"Oh,"
"Crap!"
