Willow stood facing Giles, they were arguing about whether or not to tell
Buffy about Angel. Willow was for the telling and Giles against. They both
had valid points which weren't getting them anywhere.
"But she deserves to know" "It would only hurt her to know" "She went through so much doesn't she deserve a little happiness" "She has Conner now?" "He's a baby he needs a father" "He doesn't need Angel".
During this conversation Angel stood at the door quietly watching the exchange. His presence slowly dawned on the occupants of the room who turned sheepishly to him.
He shakes his head and says "Don't tell her." Willow opens her mouth to protest and Angel stops her by saying "I'm leaving tonight". Giles takes his glasses off to clean them and says "Where will you go". Angel sighs and says "Anywhere but here, LA maybe". Giles nods but Willow shakes her head and says "But Buffy! Doesn't she deserve to know?" Angel smiles sadly and says "She would be better off without me. I can't give her the life she deserves". Willow protests "But your soul I made it permanent". Angel shakes his head "That maybe but I can't give her the sun, children, anything a normal girl would want". Giles politely doesn't say anything but Willow does "She isn't normal, she's a slayer. She already has a child. You know she still loves you". He smiles sadly and says "She deserves more." He turns and leaves, leaving an open mouthed Willow in his wake.
Willow turned to Giles dejectedly and says "So that settles it right? We don't tell her?"
Giles nodded slowly and looked back at the door. He whispered "Looks like".
############################################################################ ##### Author note: Oh and sorry short chapter but it was a sort of interval to show you Angel had left and they weren't telling Buffy.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed. And WW if you read it right she lied, she didn't sleep with anyone else she just didn't want anyone knowing Conner is the prophecy child. So Angelus wouldn't have known because she didn't sleep with anyone else. And Angel doesn't know how old Conner is, no one told him, so he has every right to believe she was with someone else, since when she came back she would have been around a lot of people.
