Chapter 4

Going back.

A/N: I'd like to take a minute to thank Sapphire Eyes9896, for pointing out in her review that I wasn't accepting anonymous reviews because I had no idea that I wasn't! I am now though. So, thanks. Now on with the story.

"WAAAH!" the baby started to cry. Angel ran over and picked up the girl.

"What's going on?" Fred asked.

"Well, obviously whatever was in that blast turn Sarai back into child. But the question is why." Wesley stated.

"Does it matter why?" Angel said not realizing he'd said that out loud, patting Sarai on the back.

"Angel's right, we should be concentrating on how to change her back." Gunn said.

"Well, we have a lot of work to do." Wesley instructed.

"Yeah, Wesley's right there is a lot of work to do. We can't get side tracked and lose focus on that. We'll take our time on this and figure it out in a timely orderly fashion." Angel ordered, hoping everyone would back him.

"Actually Angel I meant we had a lot of work to do finding out how to- wait a second. Angel you do know we have to change her back.....right?"

"What? Well yeah I guess its just no need to rush it is all."

~Oh, shit~Gunn though remembering the conversation he had with her the other day. "Angel we do HAVE TO change her back SOON."

"Why is that exactly?" Angel asked.

"Because its wrong to keep her like this. Its not the way its supposed to be." Fred said.

"Actually Fred, it is! This is it! She's suppose to be this age...so why change that?" Angel argued.

"But its not the way it is Angel! It has already been changed. She's 14, she grew up already, just not here! You can't make the decision to keep her like this to make yourself feel better!" Gunn fought back and he was going to keep fighting.

~Thank god Gunn. I can't stay trapped in here for one more minute! My own crying is getting on my nerves...I gotta find a way to make it stop.~ Sarai thought while in the body of her younger self. She was still her inside but just not in the drivers seat, the baby part of her was.

"That's not what I am doing Gunn. Look everyone get back to work I'll handle looking into what happened to Sarai."

"Sure" Gunn said not believing it. He was gonna carry on his own research anyway. He and everyone else cleared the room leaving Angel and baby Sarai, who was still crying alone.

"There, there , Sarai...calm down. Its ok, everything's ok. Come on, lets go upstairs shall we?" Angel asked not expecting an answer. Angel took her upstairs and laid her down on the sofa. Then, he called Harmony and told her to pick up baby supplies. After that he went into Sarai's room and came out holding a stuffed little pink puppy. Angel started to make the puppy dance and pretend it was kissing Sarai. Five minutes later Angel realized his attempts of cheering up his daughter failed. So he tried the next best thing, groveling. "Please stop crying Sarai, don't to this please." then, Angel had another idea. He started tickling Sarai's tummy.

~Don't give into him. Don't give into him~ Sarai kept telling herself but of course she couldn't control her reactions so within seconds she started to giggle; a lot. ~DAMN!~

Angel smiled. "There's my happy girl." he lifted her onto his lap. "See no need to cry, everything's back to the way it should be."

~Then why am I still a baby!~

Before they knew it, Harmony knocked on the door with the stuff Angel asked for. "Here ya go Bossy." she said and left. Angel took the bag into the kitchen and came back to the living room with a bottle of juice.

~No way, this HAS to be a joke! I won't drink from that!~ But before Sarai knew it Angel shoved the bottle into her mouth. Somehow without Sarai even realizing it she managed to get control and do something she was thinking about doing.

"Bad little Sarai" Angel said, not seriously, wiping the juice from his face that Sarai had spit at him.

~Huh? Maybe this won't be that bad after all" Sarai thought. ~He's really not mad at me....he *can't* get mad at me I am baby, I don't know any better. Oh, this will be fun~

"What's my girl smiling at?" Angel asked, putting the bottle back into her mouth.

~If you only knew Angel.~

Later that night Angel was giving Sarai a bath and had more water on himself then there was in the tub. "Sarai it's not nice to splash daddy." he said, still not sounding remotely serious, even though he was trying his very best too.

~Yeah but its fun~ she thought.

Eventually it became time to take Sarai out of the tub so Angel took a towel and wrapped it around her lifting her out of the tub. Then he picked her up, wrapped her legs around him, still wrapped in nothing but a towel and he felt something wet on his shirt. Not wet like he had been from the somewhat cool water this was...warm. Angel had a very good feeling he knew what just happened but he looked down just to make sure. Just has he suspected, it was urine. ~and to think I thought the whole 'not being peed on' was an advantage of having a girl~ Angel thought.

~Direct hit.~ Sarai thought.

A great battle erupted right after, one of the greatest fights in the history of the earth.

"Honey stay still so Daddy can get the diaper on" The response was Sarai rolling onto her belly. Angel rolled her back over and she began to kick her feet rapidly. ~I know I'll let her continue to squirm and in about 3 minutes she'll tire herself out.~ Angel was right, soon she did stop. But as soon has Angel re-approached her she started up again. FINALLY almost two hours later Sarai was in her pajamas. Then Angel gave her a pacifier to suck on, carried her to his bed, laid back, and moving her into a cradling position.

~Ah, I guess I'll cut the guy a break..Plus, I am tired and this *is* kinda comfy.~ Sarai thought deciding to behave for the rest of the night.

"See this is the way things are supposed to be, Wes and Gunn don't know what they're talking about. Don't worry though I won't let them change you back and have things the way they were, with being sad and angry." Angel said.

~You better let them change be back! I am not sad I...well I don't know what I am. Although I guess I have been very bitchy to him and he's tried very hard to be nice. Maybe when/if I get changed back things will be different. MAYBE~
