I don't own, nor ever did own Stargate SG-1 or Buffy. Thank you very much. Read and review.

                Buffy walked into the house with Angelus and Spike behind her. Willow stood up nervously and Angelus looked at the witch who had been sitting beside Giles on the couch.

"Hello Willow. You look great for being dead and all." Light sarcasm colored this and she flushed. "Hello Angelus." She stuttered slightly and he smiled, then looked over at Bess and Giles. "Monkeys." He said and they smiled reluctantly.

"Hi Angelus." Giles said and went to stand protectively by Buffy. She patted the hand he rested on her shoulder reassuringly. Bess was lounging on the couch and smiled as she looked over at Angelus, "Ready to cross over to the good side vampire?" She asked lightly and he laughed, "Too much fun being bad, but thanks for asking." Willow's eyes were wide at the casual affection that the bad Angelus had with Buffy's kids. Her eyes met Buffy's, who shrugged. She was puzzled by this weird relationship too.

Angelus saw the carrier and walked over to the baby inside, his face soft. He gently picked up J.D. and slowly rocked him as he walked the living room. There was silence from the adults in the room, but the kids had grown up with this and were not surprised. He looked up to see the bemused looks on their faces and laughed softly, "I won't attack any more slayers. But I will keep the demon searching until he doesn't come back." Giles looked at him, "You sent a demon to look for Mom and Dad?" he asked and Angelus nodded.

Giles looked down at his Nike shod feet, then back at Angelus. "Thanks." He said gruffly. Buffy looked at Giles, "It's midnight. How about some sack time?" He looked at her and smiled, "Dad always said that." She smiled impishly at this boy who was trembling on the edge of manhood. "Who do you think I heard it from?" Her smile was so like his Mom's that he felt weak. He sat down abruptly, "Is he alive in your reality?" he asked and she nodded to the baby. "Has to be. He's fine G, still says 'For cryin' out loud!' when something goes wrong." She patted his leg, "Try and get some sleep." He nodded and kissed her good night.

Giles knew intellectually that this Buffy wasn't his Mom, but his heart screamed that she was. She was just like her, only a little younger. He shook his head and went into his room and threw himself on his bed. He rolled on his back and fell into a deep sleep.

Angelus left to find a snack or something and Buffy put J.D. to bed. She checked on the kids and was amazed to feel the deep love that she had for these children. She looked in on Bess and winced as she saw Spike in bed with her and hurriedly shut the door again. That was just so wrong that she didn't even want to think about it.

She opened the door to Giles room and saw that he was still wearing his sneakers and walked in and untied them, pulling them off of his big feet. She smoothed his hair back and checked the window to make sure it was locked. It was and was hung with a silver cross as well. 'Well I know that this is definitely Jack's kid.' She thought wryly to herself.

Lastly she went into Joy's room and smiled. The window was wide open, the breeze blowing the sheers around gently. Buffy walked over to look out and saw Angelus standing by the tree on the ground. She smiled and turned to Joy. The rapidly growing little girl was lying on her side, an expression of peace on her face. She clutched a ragged stuffed dog tightly in her arms and Buffy suddenly remembered her own stuffed pig, Mr. Gordo. She sat on the bed beside Joy and gently smoothed her blonde hair back from her forehead. "Remember that Dad and Mom love you forever." She whispered and kissed her on the forehead. Buffy gently pulled up the covers then walked out. Joy's eyes snapped open and she smiled, then dropped off to sleep.

Buffy laid down on the couch and fell asleep. Willow was already asleep in one of the bedrooms upstairs. Around 4 a.m.  J.D. cried and Buffy sat up to find Angelus holding J.D. out to her "Thanks." She said sleepily and she held J.D. to her breast to nurse. As he suckled she watched Angelus watching her.

"You wanted kids at some point didn't you." She said quietly and he smiled. "Mind your own business Slayer."

She laughed softly. "Oh please. I believe vamps are my business. 'Slayer', remember?" she said quietly, making sure she didn't disturb J.D. as he ate.

Angel brooded in the chair and didn't answer Buffy. He watched as she finished nursing J.D. then looked around for the diaper bag. "Here." He said and she handed the baby to the vampire, who burped, cleaned and changed him before kissing and putting him to bed.

Buffy shook her head, "Too weird." Angelus stopped in the doorway, "Go to sleep Slayer." Buffy regarded him for a moment, "I'm leaving tomorrow. From the SGC." He looked at her, "Do the kids know?" and she shook her head, "No, but I'll tell them tomorrow morning. I'm going to make arrangements for a sort of 'portal mail'."

His face was unreadable and he looked a Buffy for a long moment. Then he nodded, "Good bye Buffy." He said quietly and left.
