Return

Chapter 5

Connor, sitting beside Cordy, was holding her hand and starring at her. "Cordy I'm so sorry I let this happen to you." He told her. "I'm sorry." He whispered again.

Angel was standing in the doorway listening to his son and watching him. He went into the room and stood behind Connor. When he put his hands on Connor's shoulder's Connor didn't shrug him off.

"Connor it's not your fault. Nobody saw what was happening to her but we're going to bring her back." Angel told his son.

Connor stood up and faced Angel. He embraced Angel in a big hug. Angel was caught off guard but hugged him back just as tight. "I love you Connor." He told his only son.

Connor didn't say anything back but instead he left Angel standing beside Cordy's bed. Connor stood in the doorway. "Let's go bring her back." Was all he said before they both headed downstairs tot try to bring the one they loved back.

Spike held Buffy on their bed. "I love you pet."

Buffy's face lit up in a big smile. "I love you to Spike." She told him turning to face him.

Now they held onto each other grinning like mad people. "You know that I'd never leave you right baby?"

Buffy knew somehow that Spike was right. He wouldn't leave her no matter what. They were in this together. "I know." She told him softly.

Buffy snuggled closer to him. "I was just scared oh what you might have done." She said in almost a whisper.

Spike sighed. He didn't really want to talk about this or even think about this but it had to be done. "Buffy luv, I know you didn't do it on purpose." Hopefully. Spike said.

Buffy was quiet now. She didn't really want to think about this either right now.

Faith looked at the all the people she considered friends and family around her. They weren't really family but it was as close as she could get to one. Then she thought of Angel. I have feelings for him. I know I do. Every time I look at him my heart skips a beat. He was the only one that really helped me. Faith thought to herself as Angel and Connor came back downstairs.

"Connor has to sit in the middle. Angel you don't have to do anything so why don't you go back up and sit by Cordy so if this works you can be with her when she wakes up." Willow told father and son.

Connor nodded and sat in the middle willing to do anything to get Cordy back. She might not love him but he still loved her, like a mother of course.

Angel looked like he was going to go all broody. "Not now Angelcakes." Lorne said.

Angel nodded at Willow and ran back upstairs to be with Cordy. He walked into her room and took her hand while sitting on the bed by her. "Her Cor, come back to us ok?" He pleaded with her hopping this would work.

Back downstairs in the lobby Willow had started. Connor was calmly watching while the only thing that was happening was Willow talking. He closed his eyes for a second and when he opened them again he wasn't in the lobby anymore. Nobody was there except Cordelia standing right in front of him.

"Hi Connor. I've been waiting and hopping you would come." Cordelia spoke softly.

Connor looked at her taking in her beauty. He stepped a step closer so he wasn't but a few inches from her.

"Why are you here?" Connor asked her in a soft voice like she had used.

Cordy smiled at him. "Because I cannot leave until the destroyer comes to take me home. He has to come here and say that I may go." She told him taking his hand.

Connor smiled gently at her. "Well I'm here now and I say that you will return with me." Connor told her.

Cordy kept her smile on. "Before we go Connor I want to know something." She told him. She wanted to know if what she had suspected was true.

"Ok anything but hurry because we can't stay here much longer." Connor told her sensing something around them.

"Does Angel love me?" She asked him, her look turning serious.

Connor smiled at her. He knew she already knew the answer but just wanted him to confirm it.

"Yes Cordy he does. He loves you very much and is barely nothing without you." Connor told her truthfully.

Cordy smiled in return and when Connor blinked for the first time in this place they both disappeared.

Connor opened his eyes again to see everybody starring at him and Willow trying to steady her breathing.

He got up and ran as fast as he could up to Cordelia's room and saw Angel still sitting beside her on the bed. She wasn't awake yet. She should be. He had gotten back so she should have woken up when he got back.

Connor went over to the other side of the bed, not paying any attention to Angel, he sat down beside her. "Cordy where are you? Did you get lost on the way back? You should have been with me." Connor said desperately. He held her hand and moved her bangs out of her face that had fallen there.

Angel looked at his son. "Did you do it already?" He asked. He was hopping not because that would mean this didn't work.

"Yeah I was with her. I was talking to her, she said that I had to come and get her out, that only I could help her leave. She was supposed to be with me. Be here when I opened my eyes again." Connor said, his eyes getting cloudy.

"Don't worry son she'll come back when the time is right, we weren't one hundred percent sure it was going to work anyway." Angel told him, his own eyes getting cloudy.

Angel put Cordy's hand be her side and stood up. "Come on son lets leave her be for right now." Angle said walking towards the door.

Connor stood up putting her hand be her other side and walking towards the door where Angel was still standing.

They both looked back at Cordy then started walking out the door.

"Hey where are you two going?"
