Chapter 8- Secrets revealed
Darla grinned across the room at Faith. Faith glared at her.
"Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in."
Darla turned to see Spike leaning casually against the bar.
"I thought you staked yourself. For a human."
Darla growled. "You leave my son out of this."
"Spike?" Angel approached them.
"Peaches!" Spike smirked. "I guess the little bint hasn't told you then?"
"Told me what?"
"What are you doing here Spike?"
"Slayer!" Spike looked delighted. "Haven't you told him yet?"
Buffy shot him a warning look.
"Don't you remember all those cosy nights in the crypt?"
Buffy looked at Angel. He looked away from her.
"I don't know what you're trying to do but-."
"I'm not doing anything. Just thought Peaches should know that's all."
"So you're not denying it then?" Angel asked Buffy."
"Angel I-." Buffy swallowed.
"Forget it."
"Spike! Get this into your head. I don't love you. It meant nothing."
"I know."
"Then why are you here?"
"Because his mummy says so." Drusilla sauntered up behind Spike and put her arms around his waist.
"Dru." Darla smiled.
"Grandmum!" Dru clapped her hands. "The stars told me you were here! Now I'm your mummy too!"
Buffy shook her head.
Dru looked at Angel. "Look, Grandmum. It's the Angel-beast." She pouted.
Darla laughed.
"Is he going to try and kill us again?"
"He'd better not." Darla looked pointedly at Angel.
Angel shook his head. He turned and slipped into the crowd.
"We're goin' 'round the world, aren't we princess?"
Dru smiled dreamily.
Darla moved past Buffy and out towards the back door.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Angel trudged into the hotel. He sighed. Buffy and Spike. Together. Why didn't she tell him? Angel shook his head and looked up the stairs.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Darla sat up in her bed as the door opened.
"Have you seen Buffy?"
"Who? Miss Slutty the vampire layer?" Darla grinned evilly. "I thought she'd be the last person you'd want to see."
"I was just wondering where she was." Angel wandered over to sit on her bed.
"It's strange isn't it?"
"What?"
"Us. Together again. We have had better times of course. Dru, William, me and well, Angelus. But I suppose you'll do."
Angel frowned.
**Flashback**
Darla watched as her childe drained the young girl. She smiled. He was definitely a patient one.
Angelus dropped the limp body to the ground. Darla walked up to him and licked off the blood running from his chin. Angelus growled. Darla pulled away from him to look at his face. Angelus, however, had other ideas. He grabbed Darla roughly round the waist and pulled her to him. He kissed her hard on the mouth.
Darla smiled into the kiss. She could now taste the blood of the young girl in both their mouths.
"Daddy?" Drusilla's voice floated over to them.
Angelus broke the kiss to look at his childe.
Drusilla flounced around her 'daddy'.
"Let's go." Darla took Angelus' hand.
"But Grandmum! William isn't here."
Darla rolled her eyes.
Angelus sighed. "That boy had better hurry up."
"It's nearly dawn."
"But Grandmum! We must wait for William! We must!"
Darla growled.
"William!" Drusilla spotted her childe running towards them.
"Sorry princess. Got a bit held up."
"William's been a naughty boy! Mummy was so worried!"
"Sorry princess." William bowed his head.
"Let's go!" Angelus growled.
Angelus took Darla's hand and led the way to their 'rented' house. Dru and William tagged along behind, giggling and whispering.
They made it back to the house just before dawn. Dru and Spike headed straight for their bedroom.
"I'll give that boy another ten years." Angelus sat down heavily on an armchair.
Darla smiled and sat down on his lap. Angelus nuzzled at her neck. He breathed in her familiar scent.
"She really knows how to choose them huh?" Darla closed her eyes.
Angelus growled. "Let's go to bed."
Darla giggled as Angelus picked her up and carried her out of the room and up the stairs.
**Present day**
Darla smiled. "Yeah. Those were the good days."
Angel nodded. "Aside from the killing and stuff…"
Darla glared at him.
"Well look how things have changed." Angel laughed. "We have a baby."
"You have a soul." Darla looked disgusted. "Filthy soul. I shouldn't have brought you that gypsy girl."
Angel looked at Darla. Darla looked at him through her lashes. Angel swallowed.
"You'd better go." Darla said quietly.
Angel ignored her. He pushed her down to the bed and kissed her fiercely.
