Angelus saw Giles reading something to them and knew it was about the baby. The way Buffy had placed her hand so softly on her stomach, he knew. But from the look on her face as Giles read, he was very unsure if the news was good or not.

He had to get able to out of that damn tree. Being able to see her and not touch was more torched then he needed that that moment.

************************************

Angelus sat there, wanting to think about anything other then Buffy and babies. What was he going to do? He couldn't be the slayer's lap dog, Angel, but he also wanted to be in his child's life. That was another thing that he had to think about. Buffy didn't want him in the baby's life or her own. And that was what he wanted, to be in Buffy's and their baby's life.

Their baby.

They had made a life together. A vampire and the slayer, the most evilest of vampires and the greatest of slayers. Well, ok, so it was the souled version of himself, but sperm is sperm. The child was still his, he may have not been in total control at the time but he was still there. He knew what was going on. He knew that the soul was in love with Buffy but was he? Could he love? Could a demon love and the slayer of all people?

What would be a better question is, would the slayer be about to love him, the demon, and not the soul? Could she find room in her heart for him? And if she did, would she let him in?

So many question and none of them he, himself could answer.

He needed to talk to her, but how? He couldn't just walk up to her house; knock on the front door and when she answered it, said "Hello Buffy. I know that I have been trying to kill you, your family, and your friends. Plus the whole I am a soulless demon and you are the slayer thing. But I think we can work it out, don't you?"

'Wait, what the hell I am thinking? She belongs to me!! She is my mate! I marked and claimed her. I can do what ever I want to and with her. Plus she is my wife now. The soul had given her that ring, so she is mine. Now all I have to do is get her to believe it. Which is going to be hard to do. '

Angelus smirked as he thought of ways to bend her to his will. But then again he couldn't use all his thoughts, what with his child inside her. What was he going to do? She was planning on leave tomorrow. He had saw her packing, she would probably have the moving truck there first thing in the morning. That was it!! He owned the only moving company in Sunnydale!! Hell he owned more then half of this hellhole. He would simply call the moving company and demand that they not the Summer's business.

Picking up the phone he thought, 'Buffy you will be mine. You will love me and together we will rises our child.'

***********************************

Buffy looked around that all the boxes that filled her room. So many things, so many memories. She loved this house and didn't want to leave it. But she had too. It was not safe for any one if she stayed. Oh gods, but she wanted too. Her life was here, the life that she loved; the friends that she loved were here. And my Angel, she thought sadly. NO he was not her Angel anymore. He was Angelus, mean, evil, I want to kill all your friends and family, Angelus. But, gods help her, she stilled loved him. Her Angel was still there, she could see it in his eyes.

If only he would say the words, she know that she would not be able to stop herself from running into his arm and never letting go. It had taken all her strength to write that corny letter to him and she knew that she would never be able to live up to the word she has written. And that was why she had to leave; she didn't have the strength to fight him anymore.

She was surprised that her mother had believed the 'my ex-boyfriend is stalking me plus now I am going to have his baby' lifetime channel story, she had told her. Buffy know that she was going to have to tell her mother the truth some day.
