A/N: I really don't know much about the show Angel so if I get some of their character traits wrong I'm sorry. By the way Connor doesn't exist

Chapter 2

"Six months" Angel thought. "It's been six months since Buffy's death." Angel had been sad when he had gotten the news that his beloved had died after her funeral. He went to visit her grave as soon as he had found out. He really didn't read her headstone. If he had he would have noticed at the very bottom covered by the flowers that Willow had left that it said " Loving mother". He went back to brooding and threw himself into his work. But on this particular night he was hunting for something to beat up.

Angel heard fighting he rushed over to see someone fighting off three vampires. He couldn't see the person's face but noticed that they wore dark blue jeans, blue button down shirt and a brown leather jacket. He had light brown hair and seemed to be fighting not to safe his life but for someone else's; the man looked familiar but since Angel couldn't see his face he couldn't place him.

Angel watched as the man pulled out a steak and quickly killed the vamps. He watched as the person wiped the dust off of himself. When he spoke Angel knew who he was. "Bloody Hell I just bought this jacket." Angel was furious, what was Spike doing here he was about to run over to him and demand an answer but was stopped when he heard a baby's cry. Angel watched as Spike went behind a nearby tree and picked up a baby.

"What the hell?" Angel wondered. "How the hell did Spike get a baby." He listened as he heard Spike the baby down with comforting words. "Shh sweets, Daddy's got you. Daddy just had to make the bad men go away." Angel had had enough and ran over to Spike. "Put the baby down" Angel growled. "We need to talk."

"Peaches" Spike replied. "Look can we talk its cold and I don't want sweets hear to catch something."

"How did you get a baby."

"I'll explain later but for now we need shelter the sun is coming soon and we don't have a place to stay.

"Fine" Angel led them to the Hyperion and into his office. He noticed that Spikes attention wasn't focused on him but on the baby who was now sleeping in the carrier that Spike had grabbed along with his bags. "So what are you doing here and why do you have a baby?"

"Well" Spike started "I've been traveling a bit since Buffy died."

Angel was impressed how easily Spike was giving t information something had changed him and it wasn't just his appearance.

"Anyway" Spike continued, "How I got the baby is a long story."

"I have time."

"After Buffy came back she was dead to the world we started to sleep together. Spike saw Angel flinch but noticed he didn't say anything. "Two months later she finds out that she's pregnant and tells me. A month lathe Buffy tells her friends they reacted badly calling our child evil. I told them the honest truth on how they hurt her feelings and that seemed to make them reconsider what they had said. Six months later she gave birth and that was the same day she had died.

Angel watched as his grandchilde spill out his story. Spike seemed to be sincere in what he said. He saw sadness in Spike; he saw the concern in his eyes for his child. Spike noticed that his daughter was awake so he thought it was time for introductions. He picked her up and said Angelus meet your great grandchilde Isabella Joyce Summers, Bella for short."

Angel looked at the little girl she was beautiful, she had her mothers face and her father eyes. She started to fuss and Angel watched as spike pulled out a bottle he noticed that the milk was tinted pink. "She needs blood?"

"Yeah I had a hell of a time finding out. She wouldn't eat so I put a little blood in her bottle and she ate with zest."

"Why did you run?"

"Because Buffy asked me to. She knew that her daughter wouldn't be able to escape fight off evil but she didn't want her friends to corrupt her. She knew that if we had stayed our daughter's life would have been nothing but research and training. That they would have compared Bella to her mother and Buffy knew that that would have hurt her.

Angel was feeling compassion for this vampire who just wanted to protect his child. This miracle child who Spike was so protective of. "Well" Angel started "How would you like a job."
