A/N: I am so glad you are all enjoying this. Writing this story has brought more closure to me than I thought it could, and it's fun in the process. This story should be the length of a regular arc (ie. It will last until the New Year), but may go over a bit. Anyways, enjoy. Until next time-PCGirl

"So what are you telling me?" asked Reese as they buckled themselves into the Barrington jet. Everyone had decided to not put off the idea as a mere coincidence, so now the four of them were headed to London.
"Malcolm Barrington had a daughter, Reese," said Rafe, as he sat next to Alison. "He also had a very long-secretive relationship with a woman that not even Elizabeth here knows who it is."
"All I know is he brought her up on a few occasions, and his eyes always seemed to light up when he mentioned her," said Elizabeth who had tried to get Chris on the phone, but must have had an emergency at the hospital.
"Can we please discuss something else? I am not sitting on this plane for the next few hours and listening about what my father did, and who he may or may not have slept with," said Alison as she laid her head against Rafe's shoulder. She was tired, and he could tell.
"I wonder if it's safe for you to fly with your condition," said Rafe as he straightened Alison's ring on her finger.
"What condition?" asked Elizabeth, getting worried by the way Rafe was talking.
Alison's face got red, and she put her forehead against his shoulder. With everything that had happened in the past hour she had completely forgot to tell anyone she was pregnant. She moved her head to look at her mother with a smile on her face, but before she said anything Elizabeth gave out a squeal, "You're pregnant! My little girl is pregnant!" she said as she started to get up out of the seat as the plane started to move.

He was standing over her on the bed buttoning up his shirt. He wanted to stay there next to her, but the more he thought about it the more he realized this had to be done. He couldn't let the blonde raise their child with him thinking he was the father. Of course, if he were a smart slayer he would figure out almost as soon as the child was born. So giving his wife a kiss on her forehead, he left the apartment to welcome the newlyweds back from their honeymoon.
----------
Rafe jumped up and grabbed Elizabeth before the sudden movement caused her to fall, and switched seats with her, "Here, you go ahead and you two talk all you want about baby stuff," he said sitting next to Reese. "What's your mother's name?" he asked, trying to strike up a conversation with her.
"Deborah. Whenever she talked about my father before she said he was a drunk. For some reason I don't see Malcolm as a drunk."
"Maybe she was just trying to keep you off track on finding him, and ruining his life."
"So by not ruining his life I got stuck with the crummy one instead?"
"Trust me, I doubt your life would have been any better if he had been in it," said Alison-forgetting that her mother was sitting next to her, "Sorry, mom."
"It's ok sweetie. I know I wasn't there for you growing up," she said, suddenly getting sad.
"But you are here now, and you are going to be here to watch this little one grow," she said taking her mom's hand and placing it on her stomach.

Casey had just finished putting the suitcases in Rafe and Alison's apartment. In the haste of things, they hadn't even unpacked the car, but Casey and Ricky had said they wouldn't mind. Ricky was downstairs waiting on her, and as she turned to meet him she was greeted by Caleb, "Hey man, What's happening?" she said, trying to act normal.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, leaning against the wall, and blocking her exit.
"Was just putting some stuff up for my friends, that's all. You know how life can be sometimes, you get back home and then are off again."
"Are you going to tell me where they are Casey?" he asked moving his hand up towards her face before having it slapped away.
"I'm an angel still, Caleb. You can't hurt me, and I won't tell you where they went to."
"I can hurt your little drummer boy though," he said as he turned away from her and walked to go find Ricky.
-------
Chris walked into the apartment with bags in his hands. He had decided that for dinner tonight he would make him and Elizabeth a nice Italian meal. Putting down the bags, he clicked the answering machine button, "You have one new message. Hi Chris, it's Elizabeth. I was hoping to get you, but I guess you had an emergency at the hospital. Just as well-I've got to fly to London tonight. Hopefully it won't be more than a few days. See you when I get back. Oh, Iris called me and said she left her purse and will be coming over later to get it. Ta!"
"Well, that's just great. What am I going to do with all this stuff?" he said looking at the bags at his feet.
"I'll join you for dinner," he heard behind him. Turning around he saw Iris standing there in a short black dress, as his mind tried to make him think of anything other than the sight in front of him.
------
"Caleb?" she said waking up from a restful sleep. "Caleb, are you home?" she said again, still getting no answer. She got up and walked around the apartment to make sure he wasn't in the shower or the kitchen. "Well, this is great. I've got a choice, I can go look for you or I can sit here and hope you come home," she said looking at the door, then grabbing her purse and heading out.
--------
"Wait, Caleb," she said, trying to think of a stalling tactic.
"Are you going to tell me where they are now?" he said turning around to look at her, hoping that his threat on Ricky had changed her mind.
"No, I'm still not telling you."
"Then I'll go find Ricky," he said turning around.
"You think he'll tell you? You think just like that he's going to tell you what they are doing?" she said snapping her fingers.
"Yeah, I do," he said giving a smile and heading on.
---------
"What the?" said Ricky as he looked around and all of a sudden was in his apartment. "Casey? Casey, what did you do?" he said looking around the apartment. "I've got to find you," he said reaching for the doorknob and finding it was hot. "What is going on?" he said sitting down on the couch.
---------
"Jack, has Caleb been in here?" asked a now frantic Livvie. Something didn't feel right, and she wanted to find him fast.
"Nope. Haven't seen him all day. Oh, Rafe and Alison are back from Australia."
"They are? I've got to get over there," she said walking out.
"But they--," he said about to tell her about the trip to London but she was out the door before he had a chance. "Oh well, she'll find out when she gets to the gym."
