Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. Keep them
coming! Enjoy!
Angel sighed as he dropped the papers on his desk. He
had promised to take Angie out for ice cream, but that
was not going to happen now. Sometimes he really hated
being human. Having a real job and not fighting evil
was so boring. Now his boss gave him even more to do
than he already had. Desk jobs really suck, he
thought. He did not even want to think of his
daughter's reaction to not getting ice cream. With a
deep breath, he loaded the piles of paperwork into his
briefcase and left for his car.

"Mommy? Will Dada be home soon?" Angie asked with her
hands on her hips.
"Yes baby, he was just leaving." Buffy said smiling
at her daughter.
"Yahoo! Ice cream for Angie! Yipee!" The little girl
yelped as she flailed her arms around in circle.
"Okay, but after you eat dinner okay Angie. And I
mean all your dinner." Buffy said, trying to sound
stern.
"Yes Mommy. Auntie Willow and Auntie Dawn coming?"
Angie asked.
"Yeah they are sweetie, for dinner. And guess who
else is coming. Your favorite!" Buffy said excitedly.
"Uncle Xander?" Angie asked squeezing her chubby
fists together excitedly.
"Yup." Buffy said grinning at the little girl.
"Oh yeah, oh yeah." Angie said giggling.
"All our friends will be here babe. Grandpa Giles
will be here too." Buffy said, noticing how Angie
looked so much like Angel.
"Wow, party momma, we have party?" Angie asked.
"Angie's berfday?"
"No silly, your birthday was two weeks ago,
remember." Buffy said.
"Angie is silly. Yes Mommy?" Angie said grinning for
ear to ear.
"Come here goofball." Buffy said scooping up the
two-year-old and swinging her into the air.
"Hey my girls." Angel said, walking into the house
and setting his briefcase down.
Angie ran full-force at her dad and collided into his
legs.
"Daddy! Angie miss Daddy!" she said as he picked her
up and kissed her cheek.
"How was work?" Buffy said, somewhat sarcastically.
"Okay." Angel lied. He didn't want Buffy to worry
that he was insanely bored at work.
"How was your day Princess?" Angel asked Angie, as
they walked into the kitchen.
"I got candy. Yum yum yummy." Angie said squirming to
get down.
"Well honey, I have some bad news okay." Angel said
to Angie.
"What dada?" Angie asked.
"I have a lot of work to do tonight so we will have
to get ice cream tomorrow okay." Angel said.
Angie's face turned from smile to a look of horror.
Anyone would have thought she had just been slapped.
She didn't even say anything, she just began to pout
and turned to stomp all the way upstairs. Once in her
room, Buffy and Angel could hear their two-year-old
daughter throwing things.
"She has a temper just like yours." Angel said,
trying not to laugh.
"Hey, I am not…well I don't always do that, and
certainly not when I was two!" Buffy said, "Besides
she'll be all broody the rest of the night, and she
certainly does not get that from me."
"Well I guess she's really our daughter then isn't
she." Angel said putting his arm around Buffy.
"Mmm hmm." Buffy agreed as she slid her arm behind
his back.
"Well we better go and talk to her." Angel said.
"Yeah, before she breaks a chair again." Buffy said
realizing how weird it was that a two-year old could
so destructive.
"Ready?"
"Yup."
TBC...
