You what? - Part II

Talks at night
"Angel! Wake up!" A hand touched his shoulder. "Angel"
"What what?" he woke with a start and seemed disoriented at first. "Oh. It's you."
Why always when it gets best??
He shook his head and sat up. "What are you doing here?"
"I heard you moaning Thought you had a nightmare," Buffy said. She was sitting on the edge of the bed and seemed overtired. But there was a little smile on here face.
Angel smiled back. "Couldn't sleep?"
She nodded. "Yeah, everything's coming back when I close my eyes."
"Kinda hard, huh?"
"Kinda hard." She looked down. There was silence for a few moments. "You mentioned Cordy in your dreams," she said finally.
"I did?"
"Yeah," she nodded.
"How long did you wait to wake me?" he asked embarrassed and scratched his head.
She smiled and almost had to laugh. "Oh, just a few moments. Don't worry. It was more like a murmur when I came in."
"Oh. Good," he grinned.
"And by the way, Cordy is down in the hall. Heard her talking"
"She is? I thought she was at home"
"Oh. She doesn't live here at the hotel?"
He shook his head. "No. She got her own apartment."
"Oh," she answered. "Anyway. She seems kinda weird to me Like Cordy." She yawned. "Okay, I think I should try to sleep again." She stood up. "I hope I didn't bother you"
"No. You didn't"
"Thanks." She bent down to his face and kissed his forehead. "Good night. You're really precious to me, you know?" she said and left the room.
Angel watched her leave until he was again alone in his room. But he couldn't sleep anymore. So he stood up, put on his pants and went downstairs.

Midnight Snack
The dream he had had was still troubling his mind.
Why now? Why do I dream about that night now? Why not before?
He remembered the feel of her skin and her passionate kisses.
And with those memories there also came the butterflies.
She's such an unbelievable and lovely woman She
"Cordy?! What are you doing???" Angel reached the hall and looked stunned at Cordy. She was raiding the fridge.
"Oh. Hi Angel," she said and closed it. "I was hungry and there's nothing left at home."
Angel glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's half past three in the morning and you're hungry," he commented ironically.
"Any problems with that?" she grinned. "I mean, you eat well, drink at night, too"
"Yeah, but I'm still a vampire and vampires normally feed at night." He reached the counter. "You really wanna eat all that stuff?" he asked perplexedly. "I I didn't even know we had all this"
"There are many things you don't know," she said, more to herself.
"What's that supposed to mean?" He opened the fridge. "Hey, where's my? Did you drink my blood?"
"Hell no! But I moved it" She pointed to one of the cupboards.
"Cordy.!" He shouted desperately.
"What?" She laughed out loud when she saw his face. "Sorry, Angel! Of course they are in a fridge but not in this one." She stood up to get a bottle of blood for him. "Your face was priceless, you know that?" She gave him the bottle.
Angel sighed and poured a glass. "What did the doctor say?" he asked then. "Your appointment was today, right?"
"Huh?" She put the last slice of bread on her sandwich. "Oh, the doctor. Yes, the appointment was today. She said everything's fine with me."
Really?
"Nothing else?" he asked sceptically.
She shook her head. "Nope. Everything's just fine. Believe me," she smiled.
Angel watched her eat the sandwich - it was a big one.
She seems to glow and she looks great - beautiful - in a way. Even though she's behaving totally weird and confusing

Monk Demons
"Morning, Angel."
"Morning, Wes. How was the *research trip*?"
"Good. Really good." Wes placed his bag on the desk behind the counter where Angel was reading the newspaper.
"Did you find anything?" the vampire asked.
"Yes and no." The ex-watcher put off his coat.
"Make a choice, Wes" Angel looked at Wes finally.
"Well, I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, but I found this" He opened his bag and grabbed a big packet.
"D'uh. What's that?" Angel asked curiously.
Wes unwrapped it. "It is one of the last two existing books of the Ra'amalch tribe"
"Demon kind?"
"Yes, but they are something like monk demons"
"Monks?"
Wes nodded. "Yes, monks. The Ra'amalch tribe was very famous for their knowledge of the Old World, of the Old Ones who once lived on Earth" Wes told with a enthusiastic voice.
Angel nodded even though he didn't know what Wes was talking about.
"How's everything else going?" Wes asked finally.
"Well, I start to believe I'm the only *sane* person in this house."
"Huh?" Wes asked confused while he was emptying his bag.
Angel played with the book by these monk demons he'd never heard of. "Gunn and Fred took off as you might know and Cordy became a mystery. She's behaving totally weird and confusing."
"Isn't she always kind of confusing?" Wes asked ironically.
"Not *that* weirdness.."
"Oh," the ex-watcher commented and took the book of the Ra'amalch tribe back. "You don't mind? I didn't have time on my way back to study it."
"No." Angel shook his head.
Wes entered his office, Angel followed him moments later. "I forgot to add that we have a guest.."
"What? Who?"
"Buffy. She needed some days away from Sunnydale. Willow brought her here yesterday."
"Days off? What's the matter?" Wes asked concerned.
"It is something personal, Wesley," answered a voice from the stairs. "I hope you don't mind"
"Morning Buffy," Angel welcomed the Slayer with a smile. "How was the rest of the night?"
She smiled back and came downstairs. "I think 'awful' is a good word for it But at least I could sleep."
"Morning, Buffy. Didn't expect to see you here," Wes welcomed her, too.
"I'm glad to hear that. Any plans for today?"
"Yeah. I think, I'll do some shopping and then visit my Dad."
"Does he know?"
"No. It'll be some kind of surprise. But he loves surprises like this."
"Okay. Pardonne-moi, but this book is waiting," Wes said showing the book in his arm.
"Good Wesley and his books - That part's never gonna change, huh?" Buffy said wryly after Wes closed his office door.
"We got our own watcher," the vampire commented ironically.
She grinned.
She seems to feel much better than yesterday
"Okay. I will leave you now for shopping and my Dad. Bye"
"Bye"
Buffy left the Hotel.
Where's Cordy?

*****

What's that?
Angel didn't know that Cordy hadn't left the hotel the night before. After drinking his blood he'd left her to get back to his room. When she had finished her big sandwich, she went upstairs, too, because she was too tired to go home.
Now Angel went upstairs to get something he needed.. When he went down *his* floor he could hear a sleepy sigh. First he thought it was bird or something like that near the window. But then there was a second sigh
There's someone else in here
He followed the noise and was totally surprised to find Cordy in one of the rooms. She seemed to sleep.
"Jeez! Cordy!" Angel cried out.
"What what?" Cordy jumped out of the bed. "Angel! Man, don't scare me like that!" She stood beside the bed now and had a bed-hairstyle.
And what the hell?
"Cordy, what's that?" Angel entered the room and pointed at her belly.
"Oh. That. Nothing." She removed the pillow which she had pulled under her shirt.
"Cor, please. You didn't tell me the whole score of what's going on Why are you behaving that weird?"
She sighed and threw the pillow back on the bed.
"What was the pillow for?" he asked. His look was concerned.
"I I wanted to know what I will look like in a few months.."
"Huh?"
"Geez, Angel, you really don't get anything," she sighed impatiently. "I'm having a baby."
"YOU WHAT??"
"That was one of my first reactions, too, when the doctor mentioned it"
He shook his head in disbelief. "You didn't even have a date in months - years! And now you're pregnant"
"I know, Angel, I know. Hey, why do you know about my social life?"
"Because I know everything about you?"
"Yeah, you're right. Sorry" She smiled.
"I don't mind," he answered and approached her.
She took his hand. "It's all so exciting, you know"
He nodded and laid his other hand on her hip.
"I'll be a Mum," she said in anticipation. She placed his hand on her belly and snuggled into his embrace.
"*Mum* Cordy," the vampire said with a smile. "Sounds funny and lovely." Her happiness about the baby just made him smile.
"Yeah. It does - and it makes me hungry."
