Title: The Joy of Aurora Series Part 2
Pairings: B/A, F/G, C/C (YOU'LL FIND OUT LATER)
Rating: PG-13 for language and stuff
Summary: Buffy and Angel are blissfully happy raising their little girl Aurora, but realize that they need a nanny for those sticky situations where they have to chase
some beastie. They find someone that may just fall for the undeteribly serious Connor. But then again life in the Buffyverse throws you curve balls. P.S.- This is a "Curse? What Curse?" story (my favorite kind).
Disclaimer: God-Joss owns all his characters, but I own the plot line and my characters. ;)
Author's Note: This story takes place after season five when I heard a rumor that the Scooby Gang was going to die, and I wrote the first part of this series around
that. And I reread it recently and saw that it sucked and I decided to rewrite it, but I like the 2nd part a lot, so I decided to post this like a sequel with a prequel not
written yet. So here it goes. =)

It was 6
months after little Aurora Summers was born when Buffy decided to hire a
live-in nanny. It was too much to try and fight demons, and protect Aurora at
the same time. It was Buffy's last visit to the midwifery clinic for a checkup.
She arrived a little early, so she sat down in the waiting room. About 15
minutes later, Buffy and Aurora were finally seen by Buffy's midwife, Kathy
Bentley.
"Hi Buffy, how are you and
little Aurora today?" Kathy asked.
"We're fine." Buffy answered happily.
"Oh, she's so adorable. She looks healthy. How are you feeling? Everything back to normal?" Kathy asked while playing with Aurora.
Buffy smiled at her daughter and said, " Yeah, everything's great. I'm finally glad to have my emotions back in whack. That was no fun. I knew Angel hated cause of the yelling at him I did from time to time."
Kathy laughed. Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and a young girls head poked into the room.
"Hi. Sorry to interrupt." The girl stepped into the room, " Mom, Debbie said that she needed you for two seconds about something she has to fax over to the hospital." The girl said.
Before the two could leave Buffy asked, " This is your daughter? I didn't know you had kids."
Kathy smiled and responded, " Yeah, I have two kids. This is Caitlin; she's just graduated from high school. And I have a 21 year old son who's just finishing up college."
"Oh wow! Hi Caitlin. I'm Buffy. Are you going to college as well?" Buffy asked.
"I'm not too sure. Right now I'm just looking for a job, and we'll see where it goes from there." Caitlin answered.
"Buffy's just had a little girl six months ago. This'll be her last visit." Kathy told her daughter.
Buffy picked up Aurora from where she had been playing on the floor with some toys, and set her on her hip instinctively.
Caitlin smiled brightly when she saw the little girl, "Oh! She's so cute!! Her eyes are a beautiful emerald color. They look gorgeous with that dark brown hair of hers. Do you mind if I hold her?"
Buffy smiled and nodded, and handed Aurora to Caitlin gently. Caitlin took the baby, supporting the head expertly and place the baby on her hip. Aurora fussed for a little bit during the hand off, but as soon as she was on Caitlin's hip, Aurora buried her face comfortably into Caitlin's shoulder.
Buffy was surprised, "Wow, she likes you. She usually doesn't like many strangers. You're really good with her."
Caitlin smiled as she rocked the baby on her hip, "Yeah well with my mom's line of work, you encounter a lot of babies. Besides I love kids. I babysat a lot when I was younger."
"That's right, my little girl's a pro, as much as that scares me. Come on Caitie, we better go talk to Debbie." Kathy said.
Caitlin nodded and handed Aurora back to her mother and waved goodbye to them both.
"Bye, it was nice meeting you." Buffy said.
"You too Buffy. Bye." Caitlin responded.
With that Kathy and Caitlin disappeared out the door. Kathy came back and they finished the appointment without any more interruptions. When Buffy left the clinic she was thinking about the encounter with Kathy's daughter Caitlin.
When Buffy got back to the Hyperion she heard Angel in his office and went to talk to him. Angel looked up when he heard Buffy walked into his office with their daughter, and Angel smiled at the beautiful sight.
"Hey beautiful. How'd it go?" Angel asked about her appointment.
"Great. I've been thinking about something." Buffy said as she sat down across from Angel.
He raised his eyebrows at her, "About what?"
"Well, about hiring a live-in nanny. Someone who could take care of Aurora in case of an emergency. Plus, we'd always have a babysitter so we could go out every once in a while. So what do you think?" Buffy persuaded.
"I think that it's a good idea. That way Cordelia, Gunn, and Fred won't always have to stop what they're doing so someone can watch Aurora. So do you have any idea of anyone that we could interview?" Angel agreed.
Buffy excitedly told him, "Actually, I do have someone in mind, which is why I mentioned it to you now. See today at my appointment I met the daughter of my midwife. She was really good with Aurora when she held her. She's been around babies a lot, she's looking for a job, she's 18, and Aurora seemed to like her."
Angel conceded to his love, " Okay. We can call her and see if she wants to do it."
"Great!" Buffy said smiling and gave him a kiss and headed upstairs to put Aurora down for her afternoon nap.
