Angel drove silently to Sunnydale. Well, with the exceptions of answering the famous 'are we there yet?' questions from Aubrey. She sat in back, singing softly. Wes sat in front next to him. He was currently staring at the road signs as they passed them. Willow and Cordy were driving back together in the car following them.
"Daddy Angel? Did you know that I am bored?" Aubrey asked from the back seat. Angel sighed.
"No Aubrey, I didn't. What do you want me to do about it?" he asked her. Aubrey looked thoughtful.
"I dunno. Make me unbored." She said. Angel hid a smile. Unbored? That sounds like something Buffy would say.
"How do I do that?" he asked. She smiled a grin that told him that what he just said was a mistake. Wes glanced at them before smiling.
"You can play to Wes!" Aubs said when she saw him glancing at her. Wes lost his smile but nodded.
20 minutes later, Aubrey was laughing her head off. Angel was beyond embarrassed and Wes was mortified. They spent the last twenty minutes singing any song that Aubrey told them too. But since they really didn't know songs of the young, Aubrey had to teach them. She taught them songs she learned on TV to the songs Dawn taught her. And apparently neither Angel nor Wesley had the voice to be singing kid songs.
"That was funny!" she giggled. Angel just glanced at Wes who was trying to hard not to laugh at Angel's version of 'Henry Caterpillar'.
"Yes, I suppose it was." Wes said smiling. Angel glared at the unspoken meaning.
"Like you were much better." He said. Wes shrugged while Aubs giggled at the argument. They were silent until they passed the 'Welcome it Sunnydale' sign. Aubs then began to cheer that they were home. Wes glanced at Angel who had seemed to begin brooding.
"Are you okay?" he asked softly. He nodded and turned towards him.
"Yeah, it's just that....we're here." He said softly.

Angel pulled up to the Summers' house. Cordy and Willow pulled up right behind him and they got out. Angel got put and helped Aubrey out. She lifted up her hands and he picked her up. She rested her head against his shoulder and they all walked in. Angel looked around and saw that not much has changed. He saw a blonde girl he didn't recognize dozing on the couch. Anya (was it?) was passed out in a chair. Giles, who was reading, glanced up and got up to greet the visitors. Wes smiled at him and they shook hands.
"Hello Angel, Wesley and Cordelia. How are you?" he asked tiredly. Wes shrugged and Angel glanced away.
"Been Better." Cordy said sadly. Giles nodded. Aubrey smiled and waved him.
"Grandpa Giles! Did you forget me?" she asked in a whiny tone. Giles smiled and took over holding Aubrey.
"Of course not dear. No one in their right mind would ever forget you." He said. Aubrey smiled happily.
"Good! Where is Uncle Xander?" she asked looking around. Giles sighed and handed Aubrey back to Angel.
"He went out. Now aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he asked. Aubrey shrugged.
"I'm not tired!" she said. Angel smiled.
"Well it is bedtime for you. Now where is your bedroom?" he asked. Aubrey smiled at him.
"Ummm....I forgets." She said innocently. Angel gave her a look. She giggled when she saw him.
"Ummm....I remember now!" she said and pointed towards the stairs. Angel carried her and followed her directions to her room. It was the old guest room, now a small child's room. (A/N - I have no idea if the Summers' had more then 3 bedrooms **Joyce, Dawn, and Buffy*** but I am going to say that they do.)
Angel changed her out of her clothes to some comfortable looking pajamas. He laid her down and tucked her in. Aubs sighed and shut her eyes. Angel smoothed her hair back and gave her a kiss on the forehead. She opened her eyes and gave him a small smile.
"Love you, daddy Angel." She said sleepily. He smiled.
"Love you too, Aubs." He said softly. He flicked on, what looked like a night light and left the room. He made sure the door was shut firmly and headed towards Buffy's room. He stood next to the door and waited. Waited for what? He didn't know. He just guessed the denial was kicking in again. He kept thinking that if he walked in Buffy would be sitting on her bed writing in her diary. He walked in, only half surprised to find it empty. He walked around touching some of her old things. He walked over to her desk and opened a box that was labeled 'Angel and Aubs'. He looked shocked and picked it up. He opened it and was surprised to find several things in it.
He walked over to the bed and sat on it. He began to explore more. There was another small box that was clearly labeled 'Angel'. He opened it to find the cross necklace he gave her and her Claddagh ring. He began to go through more of the box. He found several roses he had given her, now all pressed and worn out. There was an ultrasound that was labeled 'Aubs' first baby picture'. There were many more things to. A picture of them at prom, Aubrey's baby book, Aubrey's book of firsts, and the diary she accused him of reading, so many years ago. He laid on the bed, caught up in all the memories. He laid there going through every single memory that they had shared. After several moments, he allowed himself to cry for his fallen beloved.

My computer is going into the shop in a few days, so this might be the last update for a while. Thank you for all of the reviews! You guys rock! And about the box thing - It is a memory box. You can put all sorts of things in it. Like pictures, books, souvenirs...ect and that's what Buffy did. She puts the things that remind her of her relationship with Angel in a safe place.
Review!
