Rejoining Paths Chapter 7: Big News
Buffy:
"Angel, baby whats wrong with you?"
"No one threatens my wife,' he snapped at me
"Who is your wife? WHAT?"
"You…"
"I think we need to talk,"
"Its that ring on your finger look at it, Buffy! Did you ever figure it out that that is a wedding band,"
"WHAT? Why did you never tell me?"
"I guess it was just never important understand? Your mine you will always be mine, anyone else who has ever touched you or even think aobut touching you should be put to death because you are my mate.."
I just looked at him oddly, what was wrong with him? Suddenly he went all scarred Angelus.
"Angel, man maybe you should go take a rest, you don't look so good," Xander said an walked over to Angel and myself.
"Sit down boy!" he almost bellowed.
I just looked at him in shock. I wiggled over to him and whispered into his ears, "Angel, baby, you know I'm yours Xander will never compare to you. No one will come between us not even any guy that I've been with or Cordelia, I promise you that you and I will be together till the day that I die."
"That day I will die after you,"
"Angel, lets go up stairs I think you need to rest,"
"Buffy….I don't understand what's going on something inside me is tearing me apart, help me please," he cried and furrowed his brow and sat it on my shoulder.
"Its all right sweetheart, I promise we will get through this, we'll go rest and I'll get you some blood. I love you,"
His only response to me was that he wrapped his arms around my waist. I then stood up with him by my side. We slowly walked up the stairs. Once we got up to my room I laid him down on the bed and closed the curtains and said, "I'll go get some blood from the butchers and I'll be right back."
I kissed him on the hand and got ready to leave as his hand caught my arm. "Don't leave me, please, I need you." He pleaded with dark eyes that were hazed over.
"Of course I will, let me tell Willow to get you some blood from the butchers and I will be back in one second, baby." I said and kissed his hand.
I walked out of my room and into the hallway and took a deep breath. What was going on with him? First he was acting like Angelus then he just goes to totally helpless… I mean I didn't need that, my period was late, Angel was acting all wacky. What happens next? I walked down the hall and down the stairs, "Willow can I talk to you?"
"Yeah?" the red-haired-witch answered me.
"Will, I'm sorry, but will you run to the butchers and pick up blood for Angel? He wants me to stay with him tonight."
"Sure thing Buff, as long as he gets better its fine,"
"Thank you so much Will, you're the best friend a girl can have," I smiled as much as I could and turned around.
"Angel?" I asked him, but he was obviously he was asleep.
Not knowing if what I should do I just lay down on the bed a little far from him, but I knew exactly what I wanted when he took me in his arms and whispered, "Lover," and purred into my ear.
Angel was going in and out of Angelus mode and I had no idea what was going on, but I was going to be there for him. Maybe he knew something was wrong with me or maybe there was some kind of spell or something like that, I truly don't know. I just wish that he was better especially if I am pregnant…and I might be, but how? I know the baby is Angel's I can feel it. All I know is I don't truly want to tell him, I am scared of his reactions. I know if it is his and the baby is healthy he will love it because Angel will be the best father a child could ever have. But then what if he is like my father, I don't think I could live like that. I need to talk to him, but I am nervous. What if he runs off? What if he leaves myself in the baby, I don't think I could live with that, my baby needs a father.
As if he knew what I was thinking he tightened his arms around me and kissed my forehead. How did he always know how to make me feel good and like I was his forever? At that point I thought of the scar on my neck and the ring on my finger…I guess I was really his, his mate, and his wife.

About three hours later…. 2 am….
I woke up with a start and I didn't really remember what had happened the night before, I just felt sick. I felt arms around me and shifted to see that he was starring at me.
"Morning," I grumbled.
"Good morning Buffy, how are you feeling?" he asked and kissed me on the head.
"Peachy, you?"
"Nice because you're here," he said and stroked my cheek.
I really thought that I was going to barf.
"I think I need to go to the bathroom," I moaned and ran out of his arms and to the bathroom. I stood over the toilet and all the popcorn that I had ate that night it just came up. The next thing I knew Angel was behind me holding my hair back and rubbing my back.
"Shhh.." he whispered to me as his cool voice soothed my lunging stomach.
I was finish heaving and went to the sink and washed my face along with brushing my teeth.
"Guess your not so peachy?" he chuckled and kissed my hair.
"Yeah your right I guess," I giggled and laid my head on his chest.
"I love you," he said sweetly.
"I love you too, Hun," I kissed his chest because I was too weak to kiss his lips.
"Buffy, I think we need to talk."
"Yeah," I groaned.
"You wanna go back to the bedroom and talk?"
"Oh, bedroom," I got excited and smiled.
"Nope, not that kind and not in this house, but we'll go sit and chat because anyways I don't think you can stand," He guessed.
"Yea I can," I walked away from him and I would've fell straight into the toilet if Angel wouldn't have caught me in his arms and brought me to his chest again.
"No, I don't think you can, instead I can just sit with you, baby," I said lightly.
The next thing I knew he picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. He laid me on the bed and kissed me passionately. He lay his hand on my stomach, I think he knew I was pregnant, but I didn't want to talk about it until we spoke about being married.
"Angel, before I tell you what I have to tell you, I would like to talk about what you said earlier to me," I said shyly.
"Yeah, Buffy I'm genuinely am sorry that I hadn't told you about us being married, I mean it's not official. But in my country, before I was turned into Angelus it was a commitment ring. In Ireland we would be legally married. So in my heart you are my wife," he kissed my ring on my finger.
"Are you saying that we have been married technically for five years?" I asked warily.
"Yeah, I'm sorry Buffy. I have betrayed my wife." He sighed.
"ANGEL! Never be upset about that you know how happy I am that we are married? I couldn't be more happy with you than I am right now," I hoped in his lap and straddled his pelvis. I kissed him softly and he returned the favor by kissing me on the tip of my nose.
"I know I am so happy, I can't believe that things could be better," he smiled at me. It was the simple smile that I missed and that I haven't seen in a long time.
But I was life came back to me in halt when I thought of what I had to tell him right now, I had to tell him I was pregnant and I thought it was his baby. "I don't think you going to be very happen with the next thing I am telling you."
He looked at me with the greatest worry I had ever seen on his face. "Your not hurt are you?"
"No I am fine I think, but I think that…I'm well…umm,"
"What?!?!" he yelled and took my face in his hands and set my fore-head on his. "Whatever it is I will love you despite of it."
"I think I'm pregnant," I whispered very softly.
He backed away from me with dark eyes and lifted me off his lap and instead sat me on his lap. Angel walked off and starred off into the window. I just watched him and his worried look scarred of what was to come, I was so scared. After about ten minutes I walked to him and sat my arm on his shoulder.
He flailed his arm around and yelled, "WHO THE FUCK DID YOU LET TOUCH YOU?!?! YOU ARE MINE TO TOUCH, MY MATE, MY WIFE, WHAT MALE? DID YOU GO FUCK XANDER? OR MAYBE IT WAS SOMEONE, YOU WHORE!"
I didn't know what to say to him, he truly thought that I could touch someone else or let someone else touch me. I felt a tear slip down my face, "I can't believe that, I would never let anyone touch me I've only had sex with vampires in the last 3 years."
"Yeah because you fucked Spike, my childe. If you could do that how can I believe that you wouldn't screw some random guy just to get off, huh? Tell me how I would know?" he spat back at me.
"GOD! ANGEL! Listen to the fucking words that are coming out of your mouth, are you making sense to yourself? Because your certainly not making sense to me. I mean seriously have you think someone, but you could touch me? Smell me you will only find four scents of male on me: You, Spike, Riley, and Parker! Smell me I don't care I am all yours I haven't been with anyone else for three months and I am certainly not showing so that means that its impossible. And to tell you the truth I don't know if I am pregnant I need the test, but I swear it's yours." I cried.
He walked over to me and said, "Lets go get a pregnancy test and see, alright? Then we can deal with the out come," he said and took my hand strongly.
