Buffy had sat in the hotel room for an hour trying to convince Eliza to go to the day-care center. Every time she made a move to go Eliza would grab something and refuse to leave, at one point the girl was in tears and screaming that she didn't want to. Buffy was beyond reasoning with the girl and was too exhausted to argue. The twins were already down in the nursery being looked after by a nice elderly woman but Eliza refused, saying she wanted to go with 'Mommy'.

Buffy had eventually given in seeing no alternative and had sighed and said "Fine but you have to be good." It was amazing how quickly the tears were gone and replaced with a smiling well behaved child. Buffy had shook her head at this and taken her hand and walked her out.

They arrived at the hotel easily and Buffy had gripped Eliza's hand softly and quickly went through her soon to be actions in her head. She pulled Eliza into the room and watched as Cordelia walked to her and said "Hey Buffy what brings you here?" She relied with "Need to see Angel". Cordelia had looked suspicious but let her go into the office anyway. 4 months had passed and when she walked into that office she felt like nothing had changed.

When she realized Eliza was still standing beside her she said "Go outside for a minute honey." Amazing enough Eliza hadn't complained but went out willingly. Buffy then turned to Angel and said "So". He tilted his head and said "What?" Buffy looked at him incredulously and said "You're not going to ask?" He shrugged and said "What are you doing here Buffy?" Buffy shook her head and said "No. Look at me Angel! Think carefully what did I look like the last time you saw me?" He looked confused and Buffy saw no recognition in his eyes. She tilted her head and said "You seriously don't remember?" He shook his head and she said "I gave birth". He looked surprised and said "really?" Buffy's eyes widened a little and said "To your children". His mouth fell open and he said "What no that is impossible I wouldn't not with Cordy and no that can't be right". Buffy shook her head and said "Angel give me your arm". He did so obediently which caused her to shake her head again and she stuck him with a needle all the while muttering about him being "Whipped".

She walked out of the room with him looking at her confused and not even realizing what had occurred.

She walked quickly and was shocked to see Eliza waiting patiently with an odd smile on her face. Now what to do about Cordelia's blood. She was about to go over to her when Eliza ran over and put something in her hand. Buffy looked at curiously and tilted her hand toward her eyes and opened her palm. She was shocked to see a vile of blood which she could only assume was Cordelia's.

#####5 minutes before

"Go outside for a minute honey." Eliza walked out of the room quickly not even arguing with her mother. She saw the lady and tilted her head remembering her dream with the golden people in it. They had told her what to do and she wasn't about to disobey.

She walked up to Cordelia and said "Hi, I'm Eliza". Cordelia looked down at her and grimaced and said "Go away." Eliza smiled and waved her hand in front of Cordelia's face, causing her to suddenly freeze. She grabbed the needle she had snuck from her mother's case and carefully injected the needle into Cordelia's arm just the way she had been shown. She withdrew enough blood and took the vial apart grimacing at the sight but still doing it. She then carefully threw the needle away and held the vial of blood carefully. All she knew was that this was important to the future and it was the only way to get it.

She walked back over to Cordelia and waved her hand in front of Cordelia again and said "Ok".

She walked over to the couch making sure to keep the vial hidden and waited for her mother to finish talking.

## Now

Buffy looked at Eliza and said "I don't understand?" Eliza smiled brightly and said "Don't worry mommy". Buffy eyes narrowed and she looked up and saw Cordelia frowning at her. She smiled brightly at Cordelia and said "Well I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow Cordy, I just need to give Angel an update about the Fyaral Demon so see you then." Cordelia looked relieved and Buffy nearly burst into laughter but the situation was too tense. She looked at Eliza once more before grabbing her hand and walking out of the hotel.

As soon as Buffy had returned to their hotel upon realizing she wasn't going to get any answers from Eliza she had called Giles and told him she wanted to know the prophecy and he had told her that he would give it to her when they returned not before. She had then grumbled and called Willow and told her she had the ingredients and they could do it tomorrow. Willow told her she would arrive in the morning and not to do anything before then.

So now Buffy was stuck in her hotel room playing with her children trying to think about what happened today and what it could mean.
