I only own Aubs.
(+)(+)(+)
Angel walked out and saw Willow, Aubrey, Cordelia, and Wes still in the lobby. Cordy and Wes were speaking quietly to Willow, while Aubrey ate a cookie. Willow saw him come out and give him a small smile. He walked over and Willow walked over to Aubrey. She held out her hand and she took it. Wes and Cordy stood behind Angel and waited for the little girl's reaction. Willow gave them the cliff-notes version of the story. And needless to say, they were shocked.
"Aubs, I want you to meet some one." Willow said when she and Aubrey were close to them.
"Who is it?" she asked. Angel stared at his daughter. She was beautiful. He could see a little of him and Buffy in her.
"Well, sweetie, this is Angel." Willow said. Aubs looked at him.
"He is your daddy." She said, carefully watching Aubs. She looked back and forth from Angel and Willow. Finally she walked up and stared up at him. Angel knelt down so he was face to face with her.
"You're my daddy?" she asked. Angel nodded.
"Yes, Aubrey I am." He said. She looked at him harder.
"Did you love mommy a lot?" she asked. Angel felt tears rise, but he pushed them back down.
"Yes I loved her very, very much." His voice soft, and full of pain. Cordy and Wes glanced at each other worriedly. Aubrey continued with her eyes filling up with tears.
If you really did love her, why didn't you save her?" she asked. Before he could answer she turned and walked to Willow. She held out her arms and Willow picked her up. Aubs sniffed and buried her face into Willow's shoulder. She didn't want a new daddy. She wanted her mommy.
Willow looked at Angel who seem hurt and talked to him telepathically.
//\\ don't be sad. Aubs is just adjusting. She'll get used to you. //\\ Willow spoke to him telepathically. Angel looked at her shocked, but he nodded. Willow felt the little girl's body relax and she guessed it was time to try and puts Aubs to bed. She just woke up form a nap, but it was late and Aubs should be in bed.
"Do you have any extra rooms, where I can put Aubs down?" she asked. She inwardly winced. Of course they have extra rooms. This is a hotel. Cordy nodded and led the way. Willow followed her, and that left Angel and Wes. When they were out of sight Angel got up and went to the desk.
"She hates me." He said his voice devoid of any emotion. Wes, unable to come up with anything to say, put his hand lightly on his shoulder.
(+)(+)(+)
Aubrey sat in the darkened room. She was supposed to be asleep, but she couldn't. She wanted to go home. She listened to the voices that came from downstairs. She could make out almost every other word, but it was a bit hard. She knew that she now was going to live here. Aunt Willow would move all her stuff to here and she would stay here. She was going to live with the pretty lady, the man, and her daddy.
She didn't want to live with her daddy. Her momma used to read her stories, that the lady would always be in danger and the man saved them because they were in love. Her daddy said that he loved her mommy. Well, if he loved her then he would have saved her. Right?
Aubrey lied back down and shut her eyes tightly. It wasn't fair. She was happy until that lady came. She was pretty but really mean. Mommy called her Glory. Since then, she couldn't go to preschool. She had to stay with mommy or Uncle Spike or anyone who was strong. Then mommy sent her away. She said that she wanted Aubs to spend some time with Anne, mommy's friend. And now looked what happened.
Mommy went to heaven and now lived with the angels. She now had to live with a daddy that she didn't even know. Her mommy said once said that she still loved daddy. And if she ever met him then Aubs would love him too. So she should try and love him too right? Aubs then decided that she would try to love him.
But it's still not fair.
(+) (+)(+)
"So, I'll drive down for the funeral and we'll pack Aubrey's things and then after the funeral we'll drive back with Aubrey." Angel said to Willow.
"Yes, Aubs will probably put up a fight, but it won't last long. It's just I still think she's in denial. I mean she and Buffy were close. It'll be hard for her to adjust." Willow said. Angel nodded, and glanced upstairs. Cordy, now changed into something decent, looked at him sadly. Wes sighed and thought about the little girl that would soon be living with them. The only experience he had with children is with his two little sisters and younger brother, and even then he didn't really interact with them. His father was busy training him for the council. \\// A lot of good that did. Faith turned evil and Buffy quit the council.\\//
Angel then got up and walked upstairs. Cordy sadly looked at his retreating back.
"This has to happen just when we got back too." She said sadly. Wes nodded. Willow looked at them.
"What do you mean? Got him back from what?" she asked. Cordy and Wes glanced at each other before giving Willow a small look.
"Last year Angel kinda had a breakdown. Wolfram and Hart brought Darla back to drive him insane. It kinda worked. He fired all of us and he tried to lose his soul." Cordy said. Willow looked shocked.
"You don't think that will happen again?" she asked. Cordy and Wes glanced at each other again. They seemed to be doing that a lot.
"We don't know." Wes said.
(+) (+)(+)
Angel stood in the doorway watching his daughter. He knew she was in a dozing sleep. Not in a light sleep, But not in a deep sleep. He walked in and he brushed a piece of hair away from her face. He noticed how she stiffened at his unfamiliar touch. She snuggled deeper into the covers that covered her. He gazed at her and slightly smiled. She was so beautiful. She was so much like Buffy.
"Momma." The little girl murmured. He winced slightly. She missed Buffy. Heck, he missed Buffy too. But it must be horrible for her.
"I love you Buffy." He whispered. He knelt down and gave Aubrey a small kiss.
"I love you too Aubrey." He said. And then he got up and left. But making sure that Aubs was comfortable.
(+)(+)(+)
The next morning was an average morning. Cordy was making coffee and Wes was making a quick breakfast. Angel came down for his morning blood. Gunn came in too give a report of the deaths that happened when they were away. Cordy had quickly filled him in and he could now relate with Angel. They both lost people they loved. Fred was still asleep in one of the many rooms in the hotel. As was Willow and Aubs.
"So....are you ready for a trip to Sunnydale?" asked Wes softly to Cordelia. She nodded.
"Yes, it might be a little awkward seeing Xander again, but Buffy was my friend and she deserves to have a good funeral." She said softly. It's true. Buffy and she never got along but they were at least friends.
"Yes, I suspect that the Sunnydale gang will be a little less then welcoming." Wesley said quietly. The heard someone coming down stairs and they looked up. There was Willow and Aubs walking down the stairs. Aubs rubbed her eyes sleepily and yawned. Willow smiled softly at the gang in the kitchen. She sat down and Aubs climbed on her lap. She stuck her thumb in her mouth and leaned back against Willow. Willow had to chuckle softly to herself. Aubrey was advanced for her age, but she still did things like a normal two year old.
"So Aubrey, what do you like to do?" Cordelia asked, trying to break the ice.
"I like watching TV and playing video games." She said around her thumb. She then took her thumb out of her mouth.
"I'm hungry. I want something to eat." Aubrey said. Cordy glanced at Wes, who glanced at Angel, who glanced at Willow, who just shrugged.
"Well, do you like doughnuts?" Cordy asked. The little girl nodded and Cordy got up.
"Well I will run out and get a dozen or two. Angel?" she asked. He nodded and gave her twenty dollars. Cordy smiled and went to grab some doughnuts.
"Angel?" the little girl spoke up. Angel looked at her and gave her a small smile.
"Yes, Aubrey?" he asked. Aubrey got off Willow's lap and went over to him.
"I did some thinking last night. And I 'membered that Momma said she loved you lots. But bad things kept you guys away from each other. And if Momma loved you, then I guess I could too." She said. Angel gave her a small smile, shocked at what she thought of. Willow smiled at the girl. As she said before, Aubrey can be very advanced at times and yet could sometimes be a young as she was. Aubs then held out her small arms and Angel picked her up. The little girl made her self comfortable and rested her head on his shoulder and sighed.
Willow smiled softly at the two-year old and the new father. Aubrey often had a hard time adjusting to new things. But once she gave in a chance then she almost always loved it. And it seems that Aubs was going to try her hardest to love Angel. And it seems that Angel already loved her.

I know it might suck a little but hey, it's Easter. I'm in a giving mood. (*Or maybe that's Christmas? Oh, well.*)
Happy Easter! I might not be able to update for a few days so this will have to last ya!
