WISH
NOTE: I own none of these Angel characters but I love the show.
A/N: Thanks, guys, for the replies to this. So, I guess, I can continue it. Well, I can as long as the feedback remains strong. Get my drift?
CHAPTER 2
"Connor, hold still," Angel ordered, as if his year old son could understand him.
Connor fidgeted on the couch in the living room of his dad's house as Angel struggled to change his diaper. The child had been with Angel for a little over a year and he proved to be both a joy and a nerve wrecker. Finally Angel put his son on a fresh diaper and tossed the other one into the kitchen garbage. The vampire proceeded to gather Connor's things in a blue baby bag, placing the baby into his car seat, driving off towards the office.
At Wolfram and Hart Fred and Cordelia stood by the coffee maker, each with a mug of the steaming drink in hand. Fred looked through the moving staff members, straight ahead at Gunn. The brown haired woman sighed deeply. Cordy quickly noticed the look on her friend's face.
"All right. What is it?" Cordy asked bluntly.
"What are you talking about?" Fred asked, turning back to the coffee maker.
"Something's been bothering you for the longest now. What is going on, Fred?"
Fred sighed again. "It's Charles," she said, placing a hand on top the coffee maker. "Do you think he's OK?"
Cordelia looked a little confused. She sat her coffee down. "All right, Fred, sweetie, you know what you're saying but I'm a little clueless."
"Never mind." Fred saw Angel step out of the elevator then, his son in his arms, wearing Connor's baby bag as if it were a purse.
"Morning, ladies," Angel said, walking up to them.
"Hey, Angel." Fred smiled. "Hey, Connor."
"Hi." Cordy took Connor out of Angel's arms and the bag. "I'll take him to day care."
"Thanks, Cordy," said Angel as Cordy entered the elevator. Angel turned to Fred. "So what's been happening."
Fred shrugged. "Nothing big. We got a case on a vamp's nest early this morning but I think Gunn and Wesley are going to take care of that tonight."
"Oh, well, if anything else goes down I'll be in my office." Fred just nodded.
Angel headed into his office, closed the door, and sat down behind his office, grabbing the remote for his big screen TV. He found himself watching PBS, as he had gotten use to the cartoons because they were the only things that would keep Connor quiet when he was fussy in the mornings.
Fred found herself going aimlessly through the science department ending back up on the top floor. She saw Gunn talking to a few members of security, Fred thinking that they were probably discussing models, sports cars, and... really shiny things. Fred finally walked over to Gunn when the security guys began to leave.
"Hi, Charles," she smiled at him.
Gunn glanced at her. "Oh, hey, Fred."
"Yeah, hi, I... uh, hi. Guess what's playing tonight?"
"What?" Gunn asked.
"The best of Bruce Lee. I thought you'd want to go."
"No thanks," said Gunn. "I gotta investigate that nest tonight."
"Oh, right." Fred had forgotten. "It was... OK. I'll talk to you later." She turned and walked away.
A/N: Yes, I know. It's short and pointless. Hey, I just thought of something. You know what would really get me motivated? If you guys were to review Never Say Never by Dazzling Duo. I'm a member of that duo by the way. I'd prefer you'd read that, anyway. And if I get enough response for it I'll be sure to write this better and update sooner. There stands the deal.
