Chapter Two
As Connor was walking down an alley he bumped into a very big demon as he was starring up at the moon. Connor started to laugh at the demon it looked so funny to him. The demon was not amused, the demon swung Connor toward a wall, when Connor got up from the floor, he saw two demons when there was actually one. Connor charged toward the wrong demon so he pretty much ran passed the real one. The demon had large claws dripping in venom, the demon deeply clawed Connor on the stomach as well as on his upper thigh. Just as the demon was about to claw Connor again Angel arrived. Angel quickly charged at the demon and precisely stabbed the demon in the head quickly killing it. Angel knelt next to where Connor was seated on the sidewalk.
"Can you walk?" A very worried Angel asked.
"That was so cool how you stabbed it." Connor said before he started laughing.
"It looked really funny." Connor said giggly. Angel then realized Connor was on some type of drug he just wasn't acting like himself. Connor then looked at Angel and saw three of him.
"Dad there's three of you-" Angel cut Connor of and asked again "Can you walk?"
"Yeah of course I can walk I walk everyday haven't you noticed." Connor said before he started to laugh again.
"Let's go home." Angel said as he grabbed a hold of Connor's arm and propelled him up. Once Connor stood up the pain from his gashes on his stomach and thigh instantly intensified.
"Oww it hurts a lot daad." Connor said in the verge of tears.
"Let me take a look." Angel said as he pulled Connor's shirt up revealing a very deep gash bleeding profusely.
"It's going to beokay son we really need to get you checked out let's go." Angel said as he started to lead Connor his car.
"Daddy I love yoouuurorarf." Connor said as he vomited all over Angel's shoes. Connor then passed out. Angel quickly caught him before he fell and carried him to his car. Angel raced to the hotel as fast as he could he felt as he failed his son because he didn't get there in time to prevent his son from getting hurt. Connor was still out cold once they reached the hotel. Angel carried his son into the hotel and was greeted by a very distraught Cordelia.
"Bring me up the first aid please." Angel said before he quickly made his way upstairs into Connor's room and placed Connor on his bed. Connor was filthy so Angel decided to get Connor cleaned up before he dressed any of his wounds. Angel went into the bathroom and started running Connor's bath.
Angel then carefully removed Connor's shirt and while removing Connor's pants Connor started to come to. Connor felt so nauseas, he then noticed his pants were going passed his knees.
"What are you doing?" Connor yelled.
"I'm going to get you cleaned up." Angel calmly answered as he finished pulling off Connor pants leaving him only in his white briefs and white socks. Cordelia then entered the room with the first aid kit in her hands.
"Thanks Cordy." Angel said as he got the first aid kit from her. Connor's face flushed a little when Cordelia came in the room he got embarrassed that she was seeing him in his briefs Connor then had another intense wave of pain from his wounds.
"It hurts allot." Connor said as his eyes got watery with tears.
"I know buddy, let's get these gashes cleaned up. Angel then started to clean Connor's wounds.
"Oww stop it hurts!" Connor yelled the pain was unbearable for him.
"I'm sorry son but I have to clean them good so you won't get an infection." Angel said as he cleansed Connor's wounds. After Angel was done cleansing Connor's wounds he then started to remove Connor's socks and asked "Cordelia can you call Dr. Leroy for me please." Cordelia nodded and left the room quickly she couldn't stand to see Connor in so much pain. Once Cordelia closed the door behind her Angel started to reach to remove Connor's briefs.
"Noo." Connor begged as he held onto his briefs weakly.
"Connor I have to; I 'm going to get you cleaned up now." Angel said as he removed Connor's weak fingers away from his hold onto his briefs and swiftly removed them. Connor then felt extremely nauseas and rolled to his side and involuntarily threw up on the floor next to his bed. Angel sat next to Connor and gently rubbed his back until the spasms were over, then Angel carried Connor into the bathroom and gently placed Connor into his bathtub then turned of the running water from the bathtub and reached for the sponge and lathered it with soap and gently cleansed his son's body. Connor felt so weak like he was about to die, his wounds hurt allot under the water and he had no energy left not even protest as Angel bathed him. The ecstasy pill Connor took earlier was already wearing off. Angel retrieved Connor's big blue towel, Angel then lifted Connor out of the tub and wrapped his son up in the towel and carried him back onto his bed. Once placed on his bed Connor felt the need to throw up again he quickly rolled onto his side and violently started throwing up again. While Connor was throwing up Cordelia entered the room.
"Dr. Leroy is on his way Angel and I described the type of demon I saw in my vision and he told me it sounds like a Concord Demon. Cordelia told Angel.
"Thanks Cordy." Angel said.
"Poor baby he's throwing up allot, I'll bring up something to clean that up." Cordelia said as she left the room.
"Thanks Cordy." Angel said as he rubbed Connor's back gently as Connor threw up.
Connor wanted to stop throwing up his stomach was starting to hurt from throwing up too much but he couldn't stop, Connor started to cry.
"Shh son it'll be okay I promise." Angel soothingly told Connor. Angel hated to see Connor in so much pain.
Finally Connor stopped throwing up but was still crying. Angel then sat Connor on his lap, hugged him tightly while gently rubbing his back and said "Shh its okay it's going to be okay." Just as Connor started to calm down some Dr. Leroy entered the room.
"I came as fast as I could how's he holding up?" Dr. Leroy asked.
"He's in allot of pain and has been vomiting allot." The doctor nodded and went over to examine Connor's wounds; Angel removed Connor from his lap and lied him back down on his bed as the doctor approached. As the doctor examined Connor's wounds he concluded that Connor's vomiting is the result of the venom the Concord Demon had on its claws.
"I'm going to give you Compazine suppositories for his vomiting and Percocet for his pain." Dr. Leroy told Angel as he went into his medical bag and retrieved the medicine for Connor and handed it to Angel.
"Thanks." Angel said as he accepted Connor's medicine.
"Give Connor the Compazine when he's about to vomit or is vomiting it will help lessen the spasms, and the Perocet every time he's in intense pain. Connor felt so exhausted all he could do was watch his dad and the doctor talk then all of a sudden he felt really nauseas again, he tried to make the nausea go away but couldn't. The doctor noticed Connor struggling not to vomit and asked "Connor are you feeling nauseas now? You need to tell your dad every time you are its very important for you to get better."
Connor weakly nodded.
The doctor then hurriedly got a Compazine suppository along with a latex glove out of his medical bag.
"Okay Connor I'm going to give you some medicine so you feel better and will control your vomiting, I'm going to lift your knees up to your chest now." The doctor quickly moved Connor's towel out of the way then drew Connor's knees up to his chest, and then the doctor inserted the suppository into Connor's anus. Connor felt like throwing up so bad especially in the position he was in.
"There, try to relax now." Dr. Leroy said as he lowered Connor's legs back onto the bed. Connor couldn't relax he felt so sick he couldn't take it no more and rolled on his side and threw up a little bit of bile he was surprised that that was all he threw up. Angel quickly covered Connor back up with his towel when he heard Cordelia approach the door. Cordelia came in the room with a small bucket of water in one hand and a mop in the other, it was the first time Angel has ever seen Cordelia carry such things.
"Thanks Cordy don't worry about it I'll clean it up I insist." Angel said as he got the mop and bucket from Cordelia.
"Is he doing better?." Cordelia said referring to Connor.
"A little the doctor just gave him something for him not to throw up as much." Cordelia nodded and said "I have to go and pick up Fred."
"Okay see you later." Angel said as Cordelia left the room. Angel then put his attention back on Connor and saw the doctor was finishing up dressing up his last wound. Connor was fast asleep already he had no energy left to even stay up.
"Make sure he eats something when he wakes up along with the vitamins I gave you earlier, I think I'm all done here just make sure he gets plenty of rest and takes his medicine." Dr. Leroy said.
"Thank you so much Doctor." Angel said.
" He going to be alright Mr. Angel." Dr. Leroy said when he saw how worried Angel looked when he down at his son.
"I hope so." Was all Angel said.
"Goodnight Mr. Angel." Dr. Leroy said as he left Connor's room.
Angel was thinking about how everything changed so fast, if someone was to tell him all this was going to happen today he would have told them that they were crazy, he wasn't expecting any of this, he's just really overwhelmed with everything that has happened. Angel's so mad at himself for not arriving in time to prevent Connor from getting hurt. He loves his son so much it's killing him inside seeing his son so much pain and to think he could've prevented it. Angel went over toward his son's drawers to find something for his son to wear. As he pulled out a set of light blue pajamas he noticed a small bag containing two small pills inside of them.
