From here on out, it should be rather easy to read. I hope the script format is not too bad, but it is the way I originally did it. Anyway, we finally get to see what happens when Buffy and Angel come face to face this chapter.
To recap, Paige has introduced herself to Angel, and given Angel the news that Buffy is the natural mother of Connor. Angel packs up to go give his slayer the news, leaving a somewhat unhappy gang behind.
On with the show!

Scene 13- We come back to Sunnydale. Apparently several hours have passed. It is daylight now, and Buffy is still awake. She sits at a chair in the living room. Her knees are pulled up to her chin with her feet resting on the seat. Her brow is wrinkled in thought. She is speaking to herself, but Dawn is observing from the doorway.
BUFFY: I could call him, but what if he doesn't want to hear from me? Oh, God, when did this become so complicated? Why am I not as lucky as Dawn? She gets a perfect man, and he stayed. Do I drive away guys? Angel went to L.A., Scott dumped me, Parker was a one-night-stand, Riley left and comes back with his wife, and with Spike.
WILLOW: ( Suddenly entering the room.) You need to call him.
DAWN: ( Entering the room as well.) Who? Don't I get to know what was going on last night?
WILLOW: Oh, you and Ian were busy. ( She gets a glance from Buffy. Then, quickly) You seemed pretty into your homework.
BUFFY: Let's drop it, okay. ( Suddenly there is a knock on the door. Willow walks over to open it. She gasps but says nothing when she sees Angel there. Buffy notices the look on Willow's face and comes to see what is wrong.)
BUFFY: Angel.
Scene 14
ANGEL: Buffy, hi, we need to talk.
BUFFY: ( Still getting over the initial shock of seeing Angel again.) Hi, Angel. Who's your friend? ( She motioned toward Paige, who was holding Conner.)
ANGEL: ( He took Conner from Paige's arms.) Buffy, this is Paige. ( He raised his arms a little.) And, this, this is Conner.
BUFFY: Well, Angel and Paige come on in.
PAIGE: Buffy, I'm sorry I dragged Angel all the way here, but I need to talk to you. I was sent here, and you are the only one who can help me.
BUFFY: ( Confused.) Sent here? What?
PAIGE: I didn't know why they picked me, especially at my age, but when you died...
BUFFY: ( Buffy caught on quickly, then unbelievingly.) You're the new slayer.
ANGEL: Buffy, I know it's hard to believe, but that's not the entire story. When Paige came to me in L.A, I didn't know her intentions.
PAIGE: ( Interrupting.) And he means that, I thought he was going to hurt me because he thought I was going to hurt you.
ANGEL: Yeah, well. Anyway, she handed me several papers. I'll show you the third later, but these. ( He pulled two printout sheets of paper out of his pocket and handed them to Buffy.)
BUFFY: ( She quickly glances at them, then closes her lip tightly together in thought.) These say that you are my sister.
PAIGE: Listen, I know it's real all-of-the-sudden and everything. But, I just found out about it.
DAWN: I'm going to go in there. ( She exits the room.)
BUFFY: Paige, who gave you these papers?
PAIGE: A friend of mine in L.A.
ANGEL: Buffy, this is for real.
BUFFY: That much I've gotten. Listen, Paige, why don't you stay here for the night.
PAIGE: I don't know, I can't put you out like that.
WILLOW: ( Jumping in.) We've got room. I'll set up the couch for you.
PAIGE: ( Hesatatively.) Are you sure?
BUFFY: ( Rising.) Positive. Angel, can you step outside with me for a sec?
ANGEL: Okay. ( He rises with Conner in his arms and steps out onto the porch, careful to stay out of the light.)
Scene 15 - On the porch, Angel glances at the blue sky with pure ecstasy in his eyes.
BUFFY: Angel, why did you come here?
ANGEL: ( Stumbling for words, and an excuse.) Well, I-I brought Paige here.
BUFFY: ( Stepping forward.) Angel, I know you. You said that there was more than one reason you were here.
ANGEL: First of all, I want you to know that I love you more than anything, and I'll understand if you don't believe me.
BUFFY: Angel, what is it?
ANGEL: Buffy, Paige told me she had the text for the prophecy. The one that was fulfilled by Conner's birth. I read it, and...
BUFFY: ( Getting worried.) Angel?
ANGEL: ( He pulled the text out of his pant pocket and handed it to her.) Buffy, I didn't think it was possible, but it is.
BUFFY: Oh my God, who is it?
ANGEL: You.
BUFFY: Oh my God. So he... I... I am Conner's mother?
ANGEL: Buffy, you don't have to believe me, but I wanted to know if it was all right for Conner to grow up knowing you. Both as his mother and personally.
BUFFY: Can I hold him?
ANGEL: ( Picking up Conner and handing him to her.) Of course. ( She takes him in her arms and looks at him in admiration.) I know it's impossible, but he's got my nose and eyes.
BUFFY: I can see it. ( She smiles.) The eyes of a true brave man. The type of eyes you fall into.
ANGEL: Buffy, what are we going to do?
BUFFY: It's so simple, it's scary.
ANGEL: What? ( He looked at her and saw the determination he fell in love with.)
BUFFY: I'm going to move to L.A, but first we've got to tell everyone else.
ANGEL: How do we explain the fact that you were never pregnant, but he's your son biologically?
BUFFY: ( She put her hand on his and he held it reassuringly.) We'll figure it out.
To recap, Paige has introduced herself to Angel, and given Angel the news that Buffy is the natural mother of Connor. Angel packs up to go give his slayer the news, leaving a somewhat unhappy gang behind.
