Chapter 2 "Summer's End"
* The last day of summer. He has been here all summer and now we get ripped apart. I'll miss him so much. * "Connor what time is it?" Dawn asked as she rolled over to face the miracle child. Her arms encircling her making her feel safe and warm.
"It's only 9o'clock. Just lay there and rest. Let me hold you for a while longer." Connor begged as he kissed her neck softly.
"Connor do you want to go back to LA?" She asked cupping his face in her hands. Her fingers running up and down his skin.
"No but I have to. Dad was reluctant to let me stay here the summer and I already asked if I could stay even a week more and he just growled and hung up the phone."
"Guys! I'm home!" Buffy called walking up the stairs making both teenagers run for their clothes Buffy opened the door to find them setting on the bed talking. "So what's you two talkin about?"
"Nothin we were just talking about the summer and how we don't want it to end." Dawn replied sighing mentally that she didn't come in a second earlier.
"Well I'll leave you alone. I know how hard good-byes are. Trust me they're hard." She replied walking out of her sister's room.
"Shh! That was so close!" Exclaimed Connor as he sighed deeply as relief washed over him.
"Tell me about it! I thought she was going to catch us for sure. She came in and I thought she would see right through me." She whispered falling into his lap playfully.
He flipped her until she was under him taking her lips in his. They kissed passionately as Connor ran his hands over the small of her back. "Dawn maybe we can come see each other during the weekends or something. I mean we can't stay apart all that long." Connor said pulling away from the lips of his lover.
"You're right. We can just take turns stealing our friends cars." She added playfully.
"All right Summers you're going to pay for that." He growled pinning her down to the bed.
"Hey Connor, do you think we'll ever get to share a summer together again?" Dawn said as tears started forming in her eyes.
"Please Baby don't cry. Sure we will." He said as he put a hand over hers lovingly. * Something has to be wrong. The last few days she has been so emotional *
"I just don't want this summer to end. I don't wanna spend a night alone. I wanna be in your arms not alone in my bed." She choked as the tears started flowing from her blue eyes.
"Dawn listen to me. Okay?" He said causing her to nod in response. "I promise I'll call every day and come down every time I can. You can spend the entire day in my arms if it will make you feel better." He replied pulling her against his muscular chest.

"Dawn wake up." Connor ordered pushing the hair out of her face.
/ Hey! Come on Dawnie smile. / Connor begged pulling his camera from his bag.
/ I don't wanna get my picture taken Connor! I hate pictures! / She protested pushing the camera down to his side.
/ How about if I get in the picture with you? Would that change your mind? / He asked taking the camera from her reach. / Come on! I have a whole role of film and I intend to take ever picture of you. Now smile or I'll make you smile. / He threatened
/ Fine one picture but no more! / She replied smiling softly
/ Don't say I didn't warn you. / Connor replied reaching over and tickling her. She started laughing hysterically and fidgeting. He released her long enough to take the picture he wanted.
/ That wasn't fare at all! I should be mad at you! I think I am mad at you. /
/ Wanna me to kiss you all over and make it better? /
/ Yea. But are you sure you have the courage to let me take you for another ride? /
/ If you promise to be gentle. /
/ Not a chance. / She replied kissing his lips harshly. Connor smiled to himself and snapped another picture. Dawn smiled and hit him on the head playfully.

"Connor! Angel's here to pick you up!" Buffy yelled up the stairs as she saw Angel's car pull into the driveway.
"Connor." Dawn whispered as he pulled himself off the bed then offered her a hand.
"I'll be okay baby. I promise." HE whispered pulling her into his masculine arms.
"I love you Connor." She whispered knowing that would be the last chance she would be able to say it to his face for a while.
"I love you too." He replied taking her hand in his and leading her out of the room.
"Connor my boy." Angel said as he walked over to him and took his bags from him. "Enjoy not calling?"
"Loved it." He replied squeezing Dawn's hand for support.
"Well say good-bye and come on. LA is a long way away." He responded smiling at the oldest Summers woman.
"Good-bye Dawn." HE whispered placing a gentle kiss on her lips making her blush. "Bye Buffy."
"Good-bye Connor." Dawn replied as she released his hand from hers. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too." He whispered softly.
