Buffy was now 7 and a half pregnant and just turned 25 and Eliza is now 7. Faith was due to arrive in a week and Buffy was just finishing her last class. Once it was taught she would be an at home mom and had to live on her saving for the next few months. Eliza had her uncle Matt taking her to and from school and Buffy was set to go. She had set an area up in her room with a cot and a baby book and she had dragged out everything that she owned of Eliza's. A part of her hoped for a little boy but then she would be happy if it was just healthy.

She had two names picked out, if it was a girl she was going to call her Joyce after her mom and if it was a boy Liam after Angel. She hadn't found out about the sex of the baby because like Eliza was she wanted this one to be a surprise.

Lately she had been tempted to call Willow. Like her first birth she wanted to talk to her ex best friend and everyday was a temptation. One that she had to fight everyday, she had dialled the numbers so many times she had lost count. Willow had never had the chance to answer them until last week. Buffy had heard her answer the phone and she had put the phone down so quickly that she was sure Willow was shocked.

4 days she had done it again. Except this time she had stayed on for about a minute. She had nearly burst into tears when she had heard Willow threatening to call the police. She hated it when she felt emotional she always did things she regretted in the morning.

Since 4 days ago she had called every night. Every time Willow would get annoyed until last night she had hung up after a couple of Hello's.

Tonight was different. This is what Willow heard:

"Hello" Silence "For gods sake who is this?" Silence "I'm going to call the police if you don't tell me who this is, please?" Whispered voice "I'm sorry" "what are you sorry for" "Oh god Will I screwed up". Willow's eyes widen and she says softly "Buffy??" Very softly "yes" "Oh my god we thought you were dead!" "I know" "Buffy, Angel he's alive" "I know" "How long" "8 months" "Oh" "yeah" "your mom" "I know" "Giles" "I know" "Dawn" "I know" "Buffy why?" "Mom told me to leave so I left" "BUFFY!!" "OH god Will I screwed up" "What's wrong?" "I tried to call you so many times, I picked the phone up but I couldn't" "Buffy what's wrong" "I don't think I can handle it again Will, not alone and Faith she isn't the same" "you know Faith" "yeah" "Do you want me there Buffy" "Oh god would you?" "Of course" "Even after 7 years" "You will always be my best friend Buffy! Where are you?" "Minnesota".. "I'll ring you from the airport." "k and Wills" "yeah" I love you" "Love you too".

Chapter 13

Buffy stood at the airport fidgeting with her large belly. The funny thing is that when she was pregnant with Eliza she hardly showed but this baby was different and her belly stuck out in front of her. She was nervous and that was an understatement of the century. She was watching the people get off the plane and as soon as she saw Willow she knew she would break down crying.

Willow's red hair was the first thing that drew Buffy's attention and she waved at her happily. When Willow saw her she stopped suddenly staring at her belly but quickly recovered and hugged Buffy tightly. She pulled back and said "You were that Anna person at the funeral". Buffy blushed and said "Sorry but I wanted to say goodbye to mom." Willow nodded and looked at her belly and said "And now you're going to be one." Buffy bit her lip and said "Come on we will talk about it on the way to my apartment k?" Willow nodded still shocked at the changes in her friend after 7 years.

Willow stood open mouthed staring at the little girl in front of her and back at Buffy. She said "Oh My God!!" Buffy smiled and said "Yeah I know" Willow repeated "Oh MY God" Buffy rolled her eyes and said "Yeah I know. Eliza stared at the red head and said "Hey I met you with that little girl". Willow smacked her head and said "Duh, I knew this but I didn't exactly put it together, Oh my god Buffy you're a mom". Buffy smiled and said "And you're gay. Pretty unbelievable there". Willow nodded and said "I know so spill I want to hear all the gory details." Buffy sighed and picked up the 7 year old and said "First this one needs to go back to bed. Be back in a sec". Buffy rushed the child through her bed time routine before giving her a kiss on the head and saying goodnight. Eliza sensing that now wasn't the time said good night and as soon as her head hit the pillow she was fast asleep.

"Well it is official I am moving in for a couple of months, Tara will understand" Willow said in a rush. Buffy smiled and gave her a hug and said "God you're the best will and Faith will be here in less than a week so woman power all around." Willow smiled and Buffy said "You're the best Willow; we can catch up on everything."

Chapter 14

Unbeknownst to Buffy Angel stood outside her door minutes after she had let Faith in. He had left Cordelia in a hotel room and followed Faith to the apartment. All week he had the feeling that Faith was lieing to him so he had followed his gut feeling and followed her.

He knocked hard on the door and patiently waited for her to answer.

## Buffy had just finished awkwardly hugging Faith when her head shot up to the sound of the door. She looked at the door curiously and said "Wonder who that could be".

She walked slowly to the door and pulled it open to reveal Angel. Angel had yet to see her belly and Buffy was in shock and just staring at him.

Angel cleared his throat and said "Hi" Buffy turned around and stared at Faith biting her lip before opening the door revealing to everyone Angel and in turn revealing to him her currant state.

Author note: Yeah I know cliff hanger. Anyway Cordelia knows because Angel and her are supposed to be all lovey dovey and I figured if they went back that way when Buffy left that he would of course have told her. Thanks again to everyone, You guys make me want to write!!
