This is a story based on a challenge of Elisabeth's from Chocolate Covered Strawberries. Except I changed the couples in the story because I cannot write Angel well and I adore writing Xander with a kid fics.

The Other Woman Challenge.

Buffy, after her union with Angel, became pregnant. After hiding it from everyone, she gives the baby to Angel when he leaves Sunnydale. Years later, when she finally thinks it's time to go back for her child. Only, when she does go back to LA, she witnesses something, her child calling someone else "Mom".

Requirements: -Buffy's feelings about seeing this.

Options:

-The other woman can be anyone: Faith, Cordy, Fred, Nina, other.

-The child can be almost any age

-The child can be male or female.

"When's my mommy coming back?" Chloe asked, looking at the door of the magic shop. She hated being stuck in The Magic Box all she got to do was read quietly or color quietly. Chloe did not like being quiet. It wasn't even slightly fun because Auntie Anya wouldn't be here to dance with her. She was away somewhere learning how to make more money.

"She'll be coming here after class." Giles said looking up from the text he had been thumbing through. Buffy owed him; she was still covering shifts at the Double Meat Palace and Giles was forced to watch Chloe. Buffy wasn't the best babysitter.

"Are you sure Uncle G-man?" The youngest member of the Harris clan had taken a liking to Xander's nickname for the former Watcher.

"Chloe I've told you time and time again, its uncle Giles. And yes I'm sure. You see when that-" He started pointing at the clock hanging on the wall.

"Big hand gets to the twelve and the little hand to the six it'll be three thirty."

"Who taught you that?"

"Mommy and daddy." Chloe replied, Giles was surprised she understood that, since she didn't understand being quiet.

"If you know that, why do you keep asking me?"

"Cause." She said sweetly, "I like hearing your accent. I can do it too see. My name is Chloe, good day jolly good." She said in a horrible English accent.

"We do not talk like that." Giles protested,

"Yeah and you drink tea and cookies." Chloe said looking up at him a: I-know-I'm-right-so-don't-disagree smile on her small face.

"Do not!" Giles retorted.

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!" Chloe said firmly and with that she stuck her tongue out.

"Do too, oh dear I'm arguing with a four year old."

"Why are you arguing with a four year old?" Willow asked the door slamming behind her.

"Auntie Willow!" The four year old in question squealed, "Hi-hi!" Running over to her favorite Aunt.

"Hi there cutie! Your mommy will be over soon she had to talk to a professor." Willow said giving the girl a hug.

"Okay, do you want to help me color? I'm making pictures of dollar bills." She grabbed the Witch's hand dragging her towards the back, "I'm going to open my own bank and that way Auntie Anya will give me money and I can buy some whipped cream for mommy and daddy and they can have whip cream sex. Auntie Anya says that's the best kind of sex, except for make up sex." She added.

"Don't repeat what Auntie Anya says." Willow said giving Chloe what she hoped was stern look.

Cordelia climbed off the bus, and into the bus depot. She knew she should go shower after spending hours on a bus but she just wanted to see Chloe.

What will she say? When she finds out she's got a mother.

It won't be long now.

She pulled out the envelope that held the last letter from Xander. Finding his address in the left hand corner, she started walking. It took awhile to remember where the street Xander was living on.

"Hey!" She heard someone shouted and instinct kicked in and her hand went for the stake in her jacket pocket, it may have been daytime but a stake could still stun a mugger. "Cordy it's me! Devon!" And suddenly he was beside her.

Devon, Oz's band member. She breathed a sigh of relief and removed her hand from her pocket.

"Hi! Long time no see!"

"Yeah! Are you here to see Buffy and them?" He asked matching her step for step.

"Yeah, do you know where they'd be?"

"Um The Magic Box down on main street can't miss it. Sometime the Dingo's and I practice in the back room when that old guy who used to the old librarian isn't there." Devon grumbled, "Why is he still hanging around with them? It's a little iffy if you ask me."

The Magic Box? I guess I should head there. It's the middle of the day Xander wouldn't be home yet. He must have Chloe in daycare maybe Giles will know the name of it.

"Well I better go! It was great seeing you, we should have lunch! I'll call you." The seer shouted already in a run, which was difficult in her shoes.

"You don't know my number!"

Pushing open the door to the shop Cordy stopped dead in her tracks. The little girl who she had so many pictures of sat bent over a desk with her old friend Willow.

Chloe looked up a grin breaking over her face, "MOMMY!" She said dropping the dark green crayon onto the table running towards the door.

Mommy? Does that mean she knows who I am? Xander told her.

I love the sound of being called mommy. It feels so right.

Bending down to receive the little girl's hug Cordelia's face became puzzled when Chloe flew right past her and into the arms of a blond woman standing behind her.

But I'm supposed to be mommy!

Wait, no I'm not. I gave that up but someone else wasn't supposed to be mommy!
