Buffy was sitting out the back watching Conner and Dawn toddling around the yard. Dawn had indeed turned out just like her dream and every day it worried Buffy more and more. She was starting to wonder how it was possible for it to come true, Angel was in Hell, How could he be staked there?

Conner was chasing a squealing Dawn around the yard which made Buffy smile. She was a real cutie, Xander and Faith were surprised at her eye colour but every inch of her was still them. She had Faiths curly brown hair and it was hard to see Xander but it could still be seen. Conner's hair had gone from Brown to a sandy blonde which was so soft and had a faint curl to it, his eyes were of course still that chocolate brown. He made her smile every time he turned her way, which made it hard to stay mad when he did something, wrong.

Buffy walked over to the 1 year old and 1 and a half year old and scooped them up. When they started to struggle she said "Hey no lunch if you struggle". The struggling automatically stopped, they both knew it was pancakes for lunch.

A few hours later

Faith and Buffy were sitting in the living room; Dawn and Conner are asleep on a blanket in front of them. Faith says "So we never did finish that conversation about the kid's father?" Buffy shook her head and said "Not now Faith". Faith turns to Buffy and says "You know if I didn't know better I would say Angel is the kids' dad". Buffy froze but kept a neutral face and said "Why do you say that". Faith rolls her eyes and says "Hmm let's see, blonde hair, you, curls pretty sure Angel had curls but the eyes well not exactly you girl, he's him all over." Buffy shrugged and said "Lots of people have brown eyes". Faith shook her head and said "Not like those. Come on Spill"

Buffy looked at him asleep and could see the very big likeness to Angel and sighed. She turned her body towards Faith and said "Promise you won't spill (seeing Faith hesitate) even Xander?" Faith looked down at the sleeping children and nodded her head. Buffy looked at Conner instead of Faith and said "He's the other part of the prophecy." Faith turned to Buffy shocked and said "The half vamp thing, so he is his kid."

Faith was shocked; if the kid was Angels' then shouldn't he be told. She knew that Xander would have been fuming if she had kept him out of the loop. Here was B keeping it from him. (Author note: Faith doesn't know Buffy doesn't know about Angel) Faith could feel her anger rising towards Buffy. Angel had helped her, ever since she had come to Sunnydale; he hadn't treated her like a replacement. He was the first person to be kind to her for no reason and she felt indebted to him.

Faith said "God B I never knew you were such a B*#ch?" Buffy stared at her and said "WHAT" as quietly as she could. Faith stood up and scooped up a now awake Dawn and said "How could you do that to Angel, I mean even I didn't do that and I am a Bitch!"

Buffy stared at her incredulously and said "What the hell are you talking about, the only thing I did was lie to everyone about Conner's parentage. Where does Angel fit into all this?"

Faith hushed Dawn and started walking to the door and turned and said "You should have told Angel. Geez and I thought that dumb blonde was just an act."

Buffy scratched her head and looked at Faith like she was an idiot and said sarcastically "Yeah Faith I'm just going to go down to hell and say Hi Angel Sorry I sent you to hell but hey bright side you have a son".

It was Faith's turn to look at Buffy like an idiot and she said "No you go to LA to Angel investigations you know where he lives and say Hi Angel this is your son Conner or you know whatever".
