Buffy stood outside the Hyperion scared out of her mind. She was pushing a pram with one hand and the other was poised to open the door. She thought it was highly freaky that Angel lived here, especially after her dream. Although it was kind of right that he did live here, in the neighbourhood she knew, she half expected Gunn to be there.

She shook her head and pushed open the door. She walked slowly inside and her mouth fell open "Cordelia???" Cordelia was standing behind the desk and turned to see Buffy, she also looked at her shocked. "Oh my god I haven't seen you in forever." "Um yeah right what are you doing here?" "Oh I work here now needed a job Angel gave it to me." "Right so Angel??" "Yeah he's in his office". Cordelia pointed to a door and Buffy took a deep breathe smiled at Cordelia and walked over to the door still pushing the pram. "And Buffy he's um with someone, just warning you". Buffy looked at her curiously and said "With someone?" Cordelia nodded and said "Yeah a cop friend it took a while especially after her finding out about the vamp thing so they sort of just started going out. Weirdest thing". Buffy had to force herself to breath and said "Um ok". She was about to walk away when the door was opened and a pretty blonde woman walked out.

Buffy took another step back and the lady smiled at her and said behind her shoulder "I'll see you at 9 k". Buffy heard a muffled reply and Cordelia said "Hey Kate meet Buffy, Buffy Kate".

Buffy held her free hand out which Kate took curiously and said "As in the x Buffy". Buffy smiled and said "Yeah that would be me".

Kate looked jealous but wisely didn't say anything but mumbled a quick bye and left.

##Meanwhile in Angel's office##

"Hey Kate meet Buffy" Angel's head sprang up at the mention of his x. Had he heard right "Buffy Kate." Yes Buffy was here. He sprang up and tried to look for an exit but on only seeing the window he sighed and walked resigned to the door.

##Back in the foyer ##

Buffy stood staring at the space Kate had just exited but turned around when she sensed a presence. Her breathe caught in her throat at the sight of him standing there. Being away from her had done him good, at this thought she had to keep the tears at bay. She smiled at him and said softly "Hi". He half smiled and said "Hi" He motioned for her to come in which she did, careful not to jar Conner awake.

She went over to his couch and pushed Conner next to it and walked over to his desk and sat opposite it. He followed and sat in front of her and said "So what brings you here."

Buffy's eyes widened and said "What brings me here, what the hell do you mean by that!"

He sighed and said "Exactly that, you turn up here after I've been gone two years. What brings you here".

Buffy gapped at him and said through gritted teeth "I thought you were dead, what I find out your alive and apparently dating someone else and I can't come and see you". He shook his head slowly and indicated towards Conner and said "No you can't and that over there is the reason Buffy. I didn't tell you for a reason... So you could have a normal life with your son. You moved on, so did I?"

Buffy ran a hand through her hair and said "You may have moved on but me I didn't, I couldn't". He frowned and said "What do you mean you couldn't. You have a son, you have Faith. You could have found someone normal and lived a normal life". She shook her head and said "What and I can't have that with you?" He shook his head and said "No you can't, I can't give sun, warmth or any more children".

She looked at him bewildered "1 I don't care about the sun, 2 you do warm me 3 I already have a child and 4 what you can give this Kate chick that?"

He sighed and said "Buffy it has been two years. Why are we having this argument?"

Buffy brought her hand up to her lips and looked over to the two year old who was beginning to stir. She said "Because of him, that's why I'm bringing this up". He looked at her strangely and said "What you couldn't find anyone so you came to me". She looked down at him and said "That's low Angel".

He sighed and said "I'm sorry. It's just was hard seeing the love of your life father another man's child". She looked at him with something he couldn't understand and said "But I didn't??"

He looked confused and said "didn't what?" "Father another man's child" "He's sitting right there, and there is no doubt he is yours." "Yeah but there is no doubt to his father either" "What?" "Look at him Angel I mean really look at him".

Angel stood up and went over to the child that was beginning to wake up and looked him up and down. He had sandy blonde hair a little darker then his mother and her pointy little nose. He had deep brown eyes that were staring straight at him but yet he wasn't making a noise like most 2 year olds would do. He seemed well mannered for such a little child but other than that Angel didn't see what Buffy was trying to tell him.

On seeing Angel's ignorance Buffy walked over to them and picked the now very awake Conner up and turned to Angel. "Ok you don't see it that's fine no one but Faith saw it in Sunny Hell" She stated and then turned her attention to Conner and said "Hey sweetie tell this man your full name k?" Conner took a thumb out of his mouth and said in that little baby voice "Conner Giles Summers" Buffy smiled and shook her head and said "no baby I mean the one I call you when I tuck you in". Conner grinned at his mom and said "Oh I'm her wittle Angel". Angel stared for a moment and then his brain started going into motion. Darker hair then Buffy, Deep brown eyes, well mannered, lips, ears........

Angel touched Conner's hand and said "How?"

Buffy smiled slightly and touched his hand with her hers and said "The prophecy.. He's the other half".

Angel took Conner from Buffy gently and touched his face; Conner mimicked his actions thinking it a game.

Buffy smiled content to let him hold their son, although her mind was whirling with thoughts of what the hell she was going to do about this Kate woman.
