Title: Angel and the Crescent clan
Spoilers...none that I know of...
Couples: erm... OC/Angel, and some others…most characters of which I created myself...well aside from Angel and Darla of course...
Summary: While Angel was alone you think he just mourned over his loss of not having Darla when the two lost each other? Think again. This is the story of Angel, his childes and their adventures...if you can call them adventures.
Four days later...
The party of six arrived in Barcelona and went to a hotel where Gavin and Angel took care of the staff so they wouldn't be disturbed.
Angel came out to indicate the coast was clear and the four girls gathered together their luggage before following his lead in.
They made their way to the penthouse where Gavin had taken the remains of the blood to the freezer.
"Nice place." smiled Soleil as the girls went to call theirbedrooms.
Bronte and Soleil called one bedroom (the only one with two beds), Gavin and Desiree another and Angel and Flame the master.
Angel watched as Desiree and Gavin whispered to each other in front of the TV.
He and Flame had pushed the two together on numerous situations leaving them to get their act together one night when they'd stayed in a person's deserted house.
Desiree and Gavin had stayed up all night talking and it was obvious that since then they'd become closer, they'd even been spotted in composing positions.
Angel sat on his and Flame's bed watching Flame unpack.
Since Angel had turned Desiree and Flame had turned Gavin they'd forgiven the other and were back to their close loving relationship.
They were the parents of the small family with Bronte, Desiree and Soleil being their daughters and Gavin had moved from being the son Angel never had to, to part Angel's son and part Desiree's Boyfriend.
"Well here we are, in beautiful Spain." smiled Flame looking at the view from their window.
"Yep. Where do you feel like going next week?" asked Angel, lying back on the bed.
"I don't know, how about America?" asked Flame making her way to the bed and laying beside him.
"Maybe. In the mean time care to mark this bed?" asked Angel with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes as they flashed gold and he moved his body over hers.
"Wouldn't mind." grinned Flame as he nipped her neck where he'd drunk from her in the beginning.

Bronte and Soleil changed and went to find some more dumb guys they could use for breakfast while Desiree and Gavin made out in front of the TV.
But that night didn't Bronte and Soleil come home. They'd changed two guys in an alley not far from a club they'd gone too and had taken their dead bodies to their apartment and stayed there that night.
The next day they arrived back at the hotel after coming back through the sewers, followed by their childes, Desiree and Gavin were still sleeping and so were Angel and Flame or so it appeared until Flame came out to do a head count for Angel.
"OK so Gavin and Des, Bronte and Soleil and two guys." said Flame as she did a circle and went back toward her and Angel's room.
Then she counted her fingers and realised there was more than needed.
She dashed into her room to tell Angel leaving Bronte and Soleil to fear their sire's wrath.
"BRONTE! SOLEIL!" roared Angel.
The two girls cringed and pushed their two guys onto a sofa opposite Gavin and Desiree before running toward Angel's room.
Flame came out and gave the two looks as she passed them and went to the kitchen.
The two gulped and went in the room one after the other.
Angel had sat up in bed so only his top half was visible.
Soleil had closed the door after her and the two stood facing Angel.
"Girls. Care to explain why you decided to drink from two guys you didn't even know?" asked Angel crossing his arms across his chest as he looked his childes over calmly but the two could tell he was angry from the way his eyes kept flashing gold.
"We weren't thinking, it was all her idea!" exclaimed Bronte pointing at Soleil.
"Oh thanks a lot!" hissed Soleil.
Angel sighed.
"Great another two mouths to feed. You know how hard it is to find enough for the six of us. It's going to be worst if we have to look for enough to feed eight," said Angel.
"I'm sorry Angel. But I love Kiel and I know Bronte loves Andrew," said Soleil.
"Really? And you've known them, what one night?" said Angel.
"Hey you and Flame did with Gavin and Desiree. At least we didn't sleep with them," said Soleil.
Angel rolled his eyes.
He'd known eventually she'd use this as an argument.
"Soleil, do as I say not as I do." said Angel.
"I'm leaving," said Soleil.
"And where do you expect your going to go?" asked Angel.
"I've learned enough survival skills from you to go my own way," said Soleil, stubbornly.
"Look Soleil, fine you can go. Just remember look out for Slayers. And will you do me a favour?" asked Angel.
"Sure what?" asked Soleil.
"If you see a blonde haired male vamp with a female brunette or a blonde female vamp alone get the message to me. I need to tell them about you guys." Said Angel.
"Um...can you explain. I might be able to look for them through news and stuff." said Soleil as she and Bronte sat on the bed either side of their sire.
"Girls I never told you but I had another smaller family with my Sire Darla, my childe Dru and her Childe Spike. I lost touch with them a while back so since then I've been taking care of you guys." said Angel.
"I'll see what I can do Angel. I'll try and find you so we exchange stories and stuff." said Soleil.
Angel kissed her cheek and she kissed his before she got up and left the room.
Bronte looked at Angel who smiled at her.
"Fine you can go with her. But I remember what I said, keep away from slayers and I expected to see you in four years time at the most. Take care of each other." said Angel kissing her cheek.
"Thanks Angel. I'll see you then." smiled Bronte kissing his cheek before getting off the bed and following Soleil's lead.
Angel sighed and could hear his two childes packing next door.
Flame came in and saw he was looking dejected.
"Angel are you OK?" asked Flame getting back into bed beside him.
"I think I've done the worst thing possible by letting them go." sighed Angel as Flame snuggled up next to him.
"I wouldn't be so sure. At least they can look out for each other. Besides they have two big strong vamps to take care of them." assured Flame kissing his cheek.
"I suppose. I'm just going..." began Angel.
"To miss them a lot? I know." smiled Flame stroking his features.
Angel sighed as he leaned back on to his pillow.

Desiree and Gavin woke to see two strangers staring at the TV.
"Why do I have a feeling this isn't a dream?" asked Gavin rubbing his eyes.
"Because I see them too. I'll go talk to Sole and Bron, you distract them." said Desiree untangling herself from him.
"Awww do I have to?" whined Gavin as she got up.
"Yes, I won't be too long." assured Desiree kissing him before getting to her feet and walking toward Soleil and Bronte's room.
Gavin watched her go before turning to the two strangers.
"So...how's it going?"

Desiree entered the room and saw Soleil and Bronte chatting while packing their bags.
"Hey what's going on?" asked Desiree standing in the doorway.
"We're leaving." said Soleil.
"What? Why?" asked Desiree.
"Well we feel that we can make it alone. Don't worry we've told Angel. We wouldn't be as stupid as to go without telling him." assured Bronte.
"But still...I'll miss you guys." said Desiree.
"I'll miss you too Des, you've become like a third sister to Me." said Soleil stopping what she was doing and hugging the blonde haired vampire.
Bronte followed suit and the three were crying as they clung to each other like a lifeline.
The three soon felt someone join in on their hug and they saw Flame was also in tears.
Desiree let go and left the two to be talked to by their mother figure alone.
"Girls, I want you to take care of yourselves," said Flame hugging the two to her.
"We will Flame." assured Bronte.
"We'd better get going we need to sneak back into the sewers," said Soleil.
The two gave their surrogate mother a final hug before pulling on their dusters and picking up their bags.
They left the room to see Angel and Gavin waiting for them.
Gavin approached his two 'sisters' and pulled them into a quick hug.
Then all that was left was to say a final good bye to their sire and leave with Kiel and Andrew to begin their new lives.
Angel hugged Soleil first and kissed her on the cheek before hugging Bronte and kissing her.
The two girls waved to their sire before taking their childes by the hand and leading them out the hotel suite.
Gavin was hugging Desiree who was crying and Angel was stood looking at the doorway his two eldest childes had left through.
Flame led him to the sofa and cuddled up to him.
