Hey everyone, this is my first fanfic, I hope it turns out all right. Please review, I would really, really appreciate it. Anyway, heres the disclaimer: I don't own anything 'Angel' Joss Whendon does (lucky little.....) but I do own the characters that you don't recognize.

Okay, now for the first chapter....*Hides behind a wall, looking nervous*

Chapter 1

It was a quiet night at the hotel, and everyone was just finishing up the regular order of Chinese food, that they purchased at least every other day. The day had been very busy, a Eurell demon had attacked the hotel. It ended up in a gooey mess, but a victory for A.I..

"Well, that makes up for all the slime I ate earlier." Cordelia Chase remarked.

Angel was about to say something, when he was interrupted by a sharp knock at the door. He sighed and put down his cup of blood, walking over to the door.

"Coming!" Angel shouted over the continuous knocking.

He opened the door, and stared into green eyes.

"Can I help you?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm Neila Dalziel, of the moonlight coven. I was told you could help me."

He nodded slightly, and invited her in. Closing the door behind him, he turned.

"Wha-" He stopped when he got a good look at her.

She looked to be about fifteen years old, 5'3 in height, smooth ivy skin, and reddish brow hair. But that's not what had stopped him in the middle of a sentence. He looked down and noticed her stomach, it was large and round.

She was pregnant.

Before he could say anything, she began to talk.

"Let me explain." Her voice held a faint Irish accent.

"My coven is the strongest in our line, and about two years ago, we began a war with our rivals the Shangles. Well, there is a prophecy of a child born with age old power, that will bring an end to this war, born in the moonlight coven. When I became pregnant, somehow the Shangles found out about the prophecy and my baby. There attacks became more violent against us, and many have died as a result,"

"Trying to get to me, they killed all my people, even my mate. I just barely escaped with my life, and fled to Ireland, my family's homeland. I was there for five months, and someone heard that the Shangles found my whereabouts. They told me of a champion, a vampire with a soul, that could help me deliver my baby safely. So, I traveled here. My baby and I are the last of our line, please, help us."

Angel cleared his throat, and looked at all of his friends. Fred, Gunn, Cordy, and Wesley. They all nodded to him slightly, none able to say a word.

"We'll help you." Angel said, knowing that this could possibly be one of the biggest things he would ever be involved in.

Neila smiled in relief.

"Thankyou so much."

Cordy stood up, and walked over to Neila.

"I'm Cordelia, that's Gunn, Wesley, Fred, and you already know Angel." She said as she introduced everyone.

"How far along are you?" Cordelia asked, smiling at the young girl.

"Nine months, my due date is near."

This caused everyone to gulp slightly.

A/N: Okay, that's it for the first chapter, how was it? Please review!? *Wrings hands nervously*
