Chapter 9
"So, what did the Oracles have to say?" Lorne asked and Buffy saw that everyone else had nodded.
"Dawn, shouldn't you be in bed? You have school tomorrow." Buffy said, trying to turn the conversation away from the Oracles and what they had said.
"Nope, today is Saturday." Dawn replied, taking a seat next to Xander and Anya on the couch.
"Well, I'm beat, I'm going to hit the sack." Buffy said, faking a yawn and making her way to the stairwell.
"Not so fast, Buffster." Xander said, "We all would like to know what the Oracles said and you are avoiding the subject or attempting to avoid the subject." Everyone nodded their head, except for Buffy who was looking at Angel in desperation.
"Why don't we do this later, guys?" Angel suggested, "Buffy needs her sleep, you can drill us about it later today when we get up." He grabbed Buffy and picked her up, he carried them to their room, where he changed both of them into pajama's and then they both crawled into bed, with Angel's arms wrapped around Buffy, his palm cupping where their unborn child rest, Buffy slid her hand over his.
"So," she began shyly, "You don't mind?"
"No." he told her, he knew that she was uncertain about his feelings and who could blame her? "I am so happy that you are going to be having my child that if I could lose my soul, it would have left my body a long time ago." He gently kissed her forehead and pulled her closer to his body. "Now, go to sleep. We still have the troops to deal with later."
Later that Day
"What do you mean you don't know why they went to the Oracles?" they heard an angry voice ask, "Have they come back?"
"Yes, Cordelia, they are back, they are asleep."
"Were." Spike coughed under his hand and smiled innocently when Cordy glared at him, he coughed a few more times for good measure.
"That would be correct." Angel said, as he walked down the stairs, carrying Buffy in his arms. "What are you guys doing here so early?" he questioned, looking at the clock. Buffy had only gotten 3 hours of sleep, a low growl emitted from his chest, causing everyone to look at him a bit afraid that Angelus was too close to the surface, but Buffy just snuggled closer to him.
"It's not early, besides you guys should have been back from Los Angeles hours ago." Cordy said and everyone looked at her in shock, she was acting like a wife or a jealous girlfriend.
"Three hours." Dawn said, "We tried to tell you that, but you were all gung ho and everything." Dawn told her and Cordy looked a bit sheepish.
"But since you are already up and everything you can tell us what the Oracles said." Cordy said, quickly changing the subject away from her, everyone, although unhappy about how Cordy went about getting them up, they all wanted to know what had transpired.
"Well," Buffy said, stuttering words out and looking at Angel for help.
"She's pregnant."
"What!" "How?" "Whose is it?" Everyone looked at Anya when she asked that question.
"What! Like you weren't thinking it! C'mon, she just returns from the dead and she's pregnant, let's remember that she was with Riley before she died." Anya reminded them and everyone looked at Buffy.
"It's mine." Angel growled out and Spike knew that he would just be a pain in the ass now that his mate was pregnant.
"But your dead!" Cordy shouted and everyone nodded their agreement.
"Thanks!" Angel said sarcastically. "I was human for a day, but I had the Oracles turn the day back to safe Buffy's life." Giles leaned forward looking absolutely fascinated, everyone else seemed in shock, except for Cordy, who was looking like her favorite toy had been stolen away from her.
"Dawn?" Buffy asked and motioned her forward, "Can I have you call the doctor?"
"For what?"
"I need to go in and see him." She said and the room got extremely silent, Buffy was willing going to the hospital, the world was going to Hell in a hand basket. "We don't know how far along I am." Dawn left to go make the phone call and Buffy turned back to her friends.
"How could you?" Cordy asked, getting up and pacing the room, Buffy merely raised a questioning eyebrow and was about to say easily when Cordy continued to rant. "He left Sunnydale to get away from you and he came to LA to be with me.. well to do good. And he was getting over you, little Miss Saves the world." Cordy ranted, pointing her finger at Buffy, she was so worked up, that she never noticed Angel shift into vamp face or hear the angry growl that came from Angel and Spike. "He was going to fall in love with me, when you up and died and then came back! It would have been fine without you."
"I'm sorry that my death disturbed your love life so much." Buffy said, getting angry and shooting death glares at Cordy and Angel, for not having told her.
"It wasn't like that." Angel said, trying to calm down Buffy, "I never cared for Cordy like that, I only thought of her as a friend." Cordy burst out into tears at this and ran out of the house, before anyone could stop her, Gunn got up and followed her out, everyone else was riveted to the drama that was unfolding. "I have only loved one person in my two hundred and fifty some odd years and you are her." Buffy looked at him doubtfully.
"Right, which is why you never told me about her."
"When was I supposed to do that?" Angel asked, trying to reason with her, "It has been a little hectic since you got back." Angel reminded her and Buffy nodded, knowing that he was right, Dawn chose that moment to walk back in.
"Buffy, you have an appointment in about an hour." Dawn said and Buffy nodded, getting up to go get ready, Angel took one look at the group and followed her up the stairs.
"Wow!" Willow said.
"Is it always like this?" Tara asked, Fred and Lorne nodded.
"Welcome to the drama that is Buffy and Angel."
"Well, he did come back from Hell for her." Willow said.
"He went to Hell?" Fred questioned, "Why?"
"Buffy sent him."
"Why did she send him to Hell?"
"Because she didn't have a choice." Angel said from the doorway. "I lost my soul and was trying to bring about the end of the world and the only way to stop it was to send me to Hell, so she did what had to be done." He looked at his crew, making sure that they knew that she wasn't to blame. "I wanted to ask if you could bring her to the appointment, Willow."
"Sure, I can do that."
"Hey! What about little sisters?" Dawn asked, happy that there would finally be someone else younger than her, she just hoped the baby got his or her daddies height.
"Little sisters are always welcome." He told her and then turned around to go back upstairs.
"I think we need to throw them a party." Xander suggested and everyone nodded their agreement.
"Tara and I can move out of her mom's room and into Buffy's so that they have the bigger space."
"I can get the crib out and ready."
"I'll make some protection charms."
"And we will start researching." Giles said, nodding to Wesley and himself.
"So, then I can get decorations and a cake." Anya said and everyone looked at her. "What! I get a someone to spoil and I don't have to go through labor."
"So, let's get this show on the road."
"What road?" Buffy asked walking into the room.
"The road that leads to your appointment." Willow said, taking her arm, Buffy pouted at her, "And if you do good, then we can go baby shopping afterwards." Buffy's face lit up at the mentioning of shopping, Angel sighed and handed her his credit card, she looked at him and was about to give it back but he stopped her.
"Please, it's my child too and it may be the only one I will have and you are my mate, let me do what I can." Buffy gave in reluctantly and turned to leave with Willow and Dawn, leaving the rest of them to get the show on the road.
They took Buffy to the hospital where the doctor took her into the examination room and did a full examination. He walked back into the room, shortly after Buffy had changed back into her clothes.
"I have your test results back."
"And?"
