A/n: I got one review for the last chapter!!! Come on people I FINALLY update and I get nothing. Lol, here's the next chapter!!

"Don't feel bad, Wes, I just made an outline and a few theories," Ria said quietly, seeing how the ex-watchers face fell when he was told that she had figured it out.

"Really?" He asked, hope filling him. The teenager nodded. "I found a prophecy,"

"Of course," Cordy sighed. "There's always a prophecy,"

"Let's hear it, Wes," Angel said, sitting next to Ria.

"It's a little confusing, and cryptic,"

"What prophecy isn't?" Fred questioned rhetorically

"A child born from eight parents, sibling to the destroyer and the seeker, will help the souled vampire fulfill his destiny. She will defeat the dark one and his hand and provide the world with the purple glow that will avenge us all. The wolf and the slayer will aid her in her quest. The eight will protect the child, the destroyer will protect the wolf, and the seeker will die for the slayer. The souled vampires will become human. She will be the world's last chance. She will be the song that saves us all." Wesley read, and the room fell silent as the final word was read. Even the two little girls, who had no clue what was going on, were quiet.

"The seeker will die for the slayer," Ria repeated softly.

"The destroyer," Conner said, gulping. "Looks like me and Jamie have a lot more the Warrior Princess in common,"

"The seeker," Ria repeated again.

"We don't know that you're the seeker," Cordy replied just as softly.

"What does Angel have another kid now? Three's one too many. I'm going to die. This is what Holtz prepared me for; Conner's mission was to kill Angel, mine was to kill the slayer," She said, her voice rising in emotion. "Looks like we both failed our missions, Steven-dear,"

"Katty…" Conner started, fear filling his eyes.

"I'm going to die," She yelled to him, tears masked the fear that had settled in her own eyes. "I'm going to die to save the world, to save a little girl who did nothing to get into this. She's a little girl, just a little girl," Tears streamed down her face.

"Katty-girl…" He went to reach for her but she backed away.

"No, Conner, don't…I'm going to die…It's written that I'm going to die," She felt arms wrap around her and found herself crying onto someone's chest. They smelled of love, of fear, of power, of tainted good.

Angel held his eldest daughter as sobs racked her small body. He felt immense love, like the love he felt when he first held Conner, like the first time he held Melly. He suspected he felt the same love in Katty's dimension when he first held her. He stroked her hair, hair which blended perfectly with his, and everything else in the room disappeared. He sat there and held his daughter, and he knew he was forgiven the second she looked him in the eye.

Cordy couldn't help but have a small almost nonexistent smile come over her face as she saw Angel and Ria. She picked up Melly and ushered everyone out of the room, leaving the two alone in the lobby of the Hyperion.

(Later)

"What do we do now," Faith asked, snuggling closer to her daughter. She was still shaken up about seeing Angel holding his sobbing teenager like he had held her only a few years before.

"Try and figure out the prophecy," Angel answered, his hand finding Cordelia's.

"Well we know the destroyer is Conner," Fred offered.

"And Angel only has three children so I have to be the seeker," Ria's eyes found Duskie's and she smiled at the little girl even though her eyes still held fear and pain.

"Prophecy's can change, Ria,"

"Have they before?"

"Many, many times," Wesley found himself smiling at the teenager, his heart breaking when he remembered her tears.

"Don't worry about it, Bit, we wont let anything happen to you," Spike reassured her. He bounced Melly on his knee and Duskie climb off of Faith and placed herself on his other knee.

"A child born from eight parents," Gunn repeated, looking at the paper Wes had handed him. "Looks like you were right," He said to Ria.

"It mentions a slayer and a wolf," Fred whispered, reading the paper again.

"Dusk and Jamie," Cordy nodded, her mind working out the possibilities.

"Ok, let me get this strait. Three four year olds are going to save the world?" Spike asked, raising an eyebrow. "I should be surprised about this…but I'm not,"

"New friends are here," Melly grinned, her small hands clasping Duskie's.

"Melly, did you know that Dusk and Faith were coming?" Cordy asked, looking her daughter in the eye.

"New friends," Melly giggled, snuggling up to Spike. "My Spikie protect Melly, my Katty protect my Duskie, my Conner protects my Jamie,"

"Wanna know what's really scary about this?" Gunn asked. "The fate of the world rests in the hands of three kids who can't speak in full sentences,"

"We're doomed," Angel joked, trying to push the fear of the daughter he had lost and now found being ripped away from him again.

(Other side of town in the scary place from earlier)

"Lash, you have failed me twice now. Once we lost two soldiers, the second we lost forty," The figure stated, his voice holding annoyance.

"Yes sir…" Lash handed the figure a glass of black fluid and winced as the figure stabbed him in the stomach.

"You will not fail me again," The figure said, turning the knife on every word.

"Yes, master," Lash's voice was full of pain as the figure pulled the knife from him.

"Prepare the ritual, it will take place the night of the full moon. I want the Holy One here to be sacrificed,"

"I understand,"

"Do not fail me again,"

"The stone arrived, sir," Lash muttered, handing the figure a wrapped package.

"Good, very good," The figure clutched the package. "Kidnap the Holy One tomorrow night,"
"Yes, master," And Lash left the figure to his manic laughing and tiny package.

(Back at the Hyperion)

"My Spikie," Melly giggled loudly as Spike tossed her in the air and caught her. Duskie tugged on Spike's hand.

"My turn," She stated and lifted her arms up.

"Ok, bit," Spike put Melly down then threw Dusk up and caught her. Angel sat next to Cordelia in his office watching the blonde vampire toss his little girl in the air, watching his enemy make his little girl laugh.

"Mr. Broody man you better cheer up," Cordy ordered, kissing his cheek lightly.

"He's so good with her, he shouldn't be good with her, he shouldn't even be here," The brooding look stayed firmly on his face as he glared daggers at the blue-eyed man as he spun Melly around.

"Somebody is a little jealous,"

"No…ok fine I am jealous but I have a right to be," Cordy raised an eyebrow at the man. "Fine…I'll stop with the jealousness…at least out loud,"

"Good boy," And she kissed him.

"My Spikie," Duskie said, mimicking Melly.

"My Duskie," Spike said back, throwing the blonde baby in the air.

Ria sighed, her eyes glancing from every person in the room to the next before landing on Duskie. Aware that no one would miss her for a few minutes, Rianna got up from the couch and walked to the back of the hotel and out the door to the parking lot. Sitting and bracing herself against the cold stone, she pulled a slim cigarette from the pack in her pocket and proceeded to light it, unaware of the blonde vampire that had followed her from the room.

"Little bit, you shouldn't be smoking," Spike stated, sitting down next to the brunette. He pulled himself out a cigarette and took her lighter from beside her.

"I shouldn't be doing a lot of things," She sighed once more as he lit the cigarette and took a long drag.

"It kills you know,"

"Oh and the battle with swords and pointy things doesn't," Sarcasm was an art that Ria was well accustomed to.

"I like you, bit. You're a lot different than your brother. Got more of the slayer in ya,"

"What's it like?"

"What's what like?"

"Dying"

"Do you want the truth or a nice fluffy lie,"

"The truth,"

"It hurt the first time. Like all the good was being sucked from me and I was being pulled into a bottomless pit. But then again I was turning into a vampire. The second time, it was like floating. It should have hurt, but it didn't because I knew I was saving the world. I suspect that will be how this lot all goes. As heroes,"

"I'm scared,"

"I know, but you'll make it through this. We all will,"

"How do you know?"

"Gut feeling, bit,"

"I hope your right," Ria stated, crushing her cigarette and tossing it into the gutter. She stood up and brushed off her pants.

"One more thing bit, when you get through this you quit this awful habit," He gestured to his cigarette. "Deal?"

"Deal," Ria smiled at him and headed back inside.

"Teenagers," Spike sighed, unable to keep the grin from his face as he smashed his cigarette and followed the girl inside.
