Chapter Seven - Meet The Parents
Angel stared at Buffy, unable to believe it. How could this be? She didn't even look different to the last time he had seen her, she was eyeing him as if remembering him for the last night they were together. Becky stood up, interupting their not-so-romantic moment. "Mum!" She cried and Angel glared at her, this was another thing he couldn't beleieve, "What are you doing here?"
Buffy did not speak at first, she made her way down the steps and closer to them and then folded her arms. "I'm here to get my daughter back." She said simply.
"But mum . . . I can't leave now . . ." She said, with a frown.
"Why not?" Buffy asked, trying to ignore Angel who's head was about to explode.
"Because i'm trying to find my dad." Becky said. Buffy looked at her and was about to open her mouth to speak.
"Buffy," Angel said, saying the name for the first time in years, "Can i talk to you?"
Buffy looked down and then looked up at him, "You are, talking to me . . ."
"Privatley." He said sounding annoyed.
Buffy shrugged, "Wait here Becky," She said, Becky sat back downa nd watched them walk off together into Angel's office. How did them too know each other?
*-*-*
"Take a seat," Angel said as they walked in. He moved some papers off his desk and leaned on it, eyeing her. Buffy sat down on the chair furthest from him. "So, tell me again, why are you here?"
"It's imple," Buffy said, "My daughter ran away to try and find her father and so, i've come back to get her."
"Why?" He asked, "Don't you want her to meet her father?"
Buffy smiled, she was suprised Angel hadn't worked it out yet, "She already has."
Angel looked down, he knew it, Spike. "So well done, you beded Spike and then gave birth to miricle girl, and now she's come back to find him and you don't want her to realise that her dad is an asshole so you've come to get her back . . .?"
Buffy leaned foreword, "Why is it your always wrong?" She asked, Angel just stared. "Well, well done Angel, you got it right . . ."
Angel couldn't believe it, Buffy and Spike had a kid?!
" . . . 'Cept for one name" She said, "Guess again who her dad is . . ." And her eyes burned into his, and Angel's face turned pale, there was no way this could be happening . . . It wasn't him, he was a bad father, he learned that from Connor, he couldn't . . .
"But you slept with Spike last," Angel said, trying to correct her.
"I wish i did . . ." She said looking down, she didn't want a child, but she had her now and she had been looking after her for 14 years, she wasn't stopping now. "Sorry for that night Angel."
"Wha-" Angel said, not knowing what she meant at first, then realising, that night, a few nights after Spike "died" they had slept together . . . And Becky was the result of that.
"Say Hello to your daughter," Buffy sighed, leaning back, "And then say goodbye again, we're going straight away."
Angel took only a few seconds to take this in. His own daughter had been shielded from him and kept a secret for 14 years and now Buffy wanted to take her back again? He stood up and eyed Buffy who too stood up.
"No," he said firmly, "If she is my daughter i have a right to see her . . ."
Buffy hadn't expected this, for some reason she had expected him to not want to see her. "Well . . . first thing's first, we have to go and tell her, then we'll have to work something out." Angel nodded, he knew this was the best he was gonna' get from Buffy. She headed towards to door and Angel followed her.
*-*-*
"Short and Sweet?" Becky sort of asked as they walked out. Buffy looked nervous, she fiddled with her fingers like she always did when she was nervous. Angel realised this and looked at her, not wanting to say anything. "Well . . .?" Becky said eventually.
"Well . . ." Buffy said, turning slightly to stare at Angel.
"I'm you father . . ." He said eventually, looking down. Becky just stared, nto believing it like Angel had not done. She looked at Buffy who nodded and then she just thought.
"And you knew this all along?" She hissed at Angel.
"No," He shook his head, "I only just foudn out . . ."
She blinked, her had clutched round the glass of water. What was goign on? This wasn't possible? Was it? "Becky, I know this is wierd, but all you need to know for now is that we are you parents, and we love you, don't we?" she asked, aiming it at Angel.
Only knowing his daughter for a couple of hours he nodded.
Becky shook her head and then stood up and glared at Angel, "How can you love me? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME!" And then she took off, running up the stairs. Buffy frowned and began to run after her.
"Becky!" She cried and then turned to Angel, "Come on then!"
Angel looked down, he would be blammed for this, but it wasn't his fault. He ignored thinking and followed Buffy.
*-*-*
Becky ran, trying not to cry, not even knowing where she was going. She just ran down the dark corridors until she banged into someone and she stopped and looked up to see Faith and Spike. She whipped one of her eyes and tried to get past them.
"Yo Becks!" Faith cried, grabbing her arm. "What'up?"
Becky glared at her, upset, angery, "You don't have to help me anymore," She said, "I know who my dad is . . ." Then she pulled her arm away and began to run.
"Who?" Spike called after her, not realising why she was upset.
"ANGEL!" She cried back and with that disapeared round a corner.
Spike and Faith looked at one another,"What?"
"I only just found out too . . ." Angel said, walking roudn the corner Becky had come from with Buffy next to him. Spike and Faith eyed them, Spike was about to say something but realised it was a bad time and looked away. The four of them just started blankly at each other. What now?
