Chapter One

"What do you have here?" A nurse asked her eyes narrowing at the site of a naked child in a teenage girl's arms.

"We found her in the snow, she was frozen." Angel explained but it was clear the nurse didn't believe him. The girl had rosy cheeks and was staring adoringly at the blond girl and her friend looking quite comfortable.

"She looks fine now. Are you her parents?" The nurse said retrieving a clipboard though she didn't think she would need it, it was probably just some prank.

Buffy and Angel exchanged glances, silently agreeing that they would have a better chance of being taken seriously if they said they were and wouldn't be asked as many questions, "Yes." Buffy said after a beat.

"Name?"

"Um, Elysa Dinah Summers." Angel said hurriedly, the name popping into his head.

"Wait here. A doctor will see you soon." The nurse said with a bored tone let the doctor handle this; it was time for her break. Gesturing with a clipboard to the waiting area, "Fill this out." She told Angel.

"Could you get her a blanket?" Buffy asked. The nurse rolled her eyes but retrieved one from the storage closet.

"Do you have a name?" Angel asked the blond little girl careful not to touch her, no reason to risk going up in flames and answering questions.

"No." The girl said in a voice that said she really didn't think not having was something unusual, "I like Elysa. Call me that." She demanded in typical four year old fashion.

"Where are your mommy and daddy?" Buffy asked, brushing the girl's hair away from her face, a seemingly innocent gesture.

Elysa opened her mouth to respond but then the doctor called their name, "Elysa Summers?"

Buffy went in with the girl while Angel sat filling out forms (lying on pretty much every question) and flipping through magazines in the waiting room.

The doctor did the usual tests all the time asking Elysa questions. It was in his 20 years of experience that little children hated the doctor and Elysa Summers was no exception. She clung to her mother's hand fiercely.

"How old are you?" The grandfather like doctor asked.

The blond girl just shook her head and Buffy giggled nervously, "Kids. Sweetie tell him how old you are." The slayer was curious herself. The mysterious child was stubborn though and kept her mouth shut.

"She's four and a half."

"Well Ms. Summers, your daughter is perfectly healthy, no sign of even a cold." The doctor said pulling off his latex gloves patting the girl's head.

"She was outside I mean I found her outside our house. I thought she was sleeping." She added for effect.

The doctor seemed to believe her and didn't say anything; just gave Elysa a clean bill of health and sticker that 'happened' to be in his pocket.

"Pretty." Elysa said staring at the sticker with interest.

The doctor laughed, "What an adorable child." And Buffy couldn't help but beam with pride, Elysa was an adorable child. "Looks like her mother."

The slayer thanked him, even though she herself didn't see it.

When Buffy and Elysa returned to the waiting room Angel was deeply involved in an issue of Cosmo.

"Trying to minimize your pores?" The elder blond asked with a giggle. The vampire quickly shoved it on to the pile of magazines.

"Let's go." He said in a deep voice puffing up his chest.

"Where?" Buffy wanted to know, she wasn't about to explain this to her mother.

Angel had to think about it for a minute, "Giles."

"You better hope he doesn't start charging for his services." Buffy said as they headed to the sliding doors.

A/N: Alright once again short but they'll get longer I swear on my pictures of Penn Badgley and James Lafferty.

Also my beta just had a baby and so I'm using a different one and so I'm not sure she caught everything. If there are any mistakes tell me and I'll send it to my original beta once she's gotten settled.
