"Angel Investigation, we help the hopeless, Cordelia Chase speaking." Cordelia answered the phone.
"Nice line, Cordy," Xander joked.
"Xander! Why are you calling? Is something wrong?" Cordelia asked.
"No, nothing is wrong. Giles, Willow, our son and I want to stay in L.A. for a couple of days and we were wondering if we could stay with you and deadb...Angel? We won't be in the way," Xander asked.
"ANGEL?" Cordelia shouted.
"What happened? You had a vision?" Angel ran downstairs, thinking there were demons to fight.
"No, Giles, Willow, Xander and their son want to visit and stay in L.A. for a few days. Can they stay here?" Cordelia asked her boss and her lover.
"Son, they have a son? Yes, of course they can stay here," Angel answered, wondering when the couple had gotten a son.
Willow looked at Xander and saw the answer on his face, they could stay with Angel. She started packing two large bags and waited for William to wake up. The boy was still asleep.
Giles came to their home after developing the photos. He even bought a new album.
William woke up in his bedroom. He frowned; he thought they were playing outside. He heard laughter; he stepped out and walked downstairs. Uhm…I am awake. Where are you going? We have to dress first.
"Mommy?" William whispered. He couldn't find them he was getting scared. No need to be scared. Willow will come soon, right? …Where is she?
Willow heard the whispered word and stood up. Xander followed her and saw a scared little boy standing in the living room. When he spotted his dad, he ran towards him. Xander picked him up and hugged him. "I couldn't find you," he said softly, clinging to his dad's neck. Where were you? I was sca….No I wasn't, the boy was.
"Are you leaving?" William said tearfully, when he saw the bags. Yeah, where are you going?
"Yes, and we are taking you with us," Xander said to William. He smiled when he realised that William was afraid they would leave him here. Good, I don't like being left behind.
Willow took William from Xander and hugged him. "We would never leave you, William," She reassured her son. Ack….why do you always want to hug me?
"Oh," William answered. "Will granddad come with us?" he looked at Giles. The watcher? No!
"Yes, I will be joining you too. Shall we go visit your other granddad then?" Giles asked. Oh bloody hell!
"Yeah," William yelled and started helping his mum with the bags. I can help you with the bags, they are not heavy………..Well I can push them.
When they were inside the car, William started asking Willow a lot of questions about her 'father'.You have to call him Peaches, he loves that.
Angel had cleaned three rooms. He wanted the small family to like him. He has changed, thanks to Cordelia. They were going to tell them they were a couple now. He smiled at the memory of their get-together.
During the drive Willow was trying to answer all of William's questions. Alex and Giles laughed the entire drive.
Then they parked in front of the hotel, and stepped out. "Mummy, is your dad living there?" William asked, pointing his finger at the large building. Great, he is living in a hotel? Couldn't it get any bigger?
"Yes, he is. He owns the building," Willow answered. Of course he does.
Holding William's hand Xander walked in the hotel, Giles and Willow behind them. Angel walked towards them and spotted Willow behind Xander.
"Hello, Willow," Angel smiled. Willow walked towards him and gave him a hug. "Hello dad," She whispered back.
Angel looked strangely at Willow. "Angel, I like you to meet William, our son," Willow said, pulling the boy in front of her. William looked up at Angel and whispered. "Hi, granddad." Hey, Peaches.
Angel was stunned. It was like looking in the face of Spike. "Hello, little one," He whispered, using Spike's nickname from when he was a fledge. Little one? He is Angelus again. WILLIAM RUN!.
William giggled, and hid his face behind his mother's arm. "I will show you to your rooms," Angel said. "Do you really have a pool in the basement?" William asked, wanting to go swimming. Swimming? I can't swim. William, you're not swimming. I'll drown!
"Yes, I do. You ready to go swimming then. Do you know how to swim, little one?" Angel asked.
"No, but daddy is teaching me," William answered. God, I hope I remember the lesson when I am me again.
Willow and Xander walked to their room and placed the clothes in the closet. William was in his own room, watching every bit. He managed to undress himself and walked to his parents room. He walked in and asked for his swimming suit. Xander smiled as the naked boy walked to him, wanting his swimming suit. You're not going to walk around naked……Please?
Willow searched but couldn't find the speedo suit for the boy. "I am afraid I forgot your swimsuit William," Willow said, looking at the crying boy.No, I want to swim.Spike whined.
"I want to swim. You promised," William cried out. Yeah!
"You can swim naked, William," Xander said, walking in his own swimsuit. He picked a large towel, wrapped it around his son and picked him up. Together they walked to the swimming pool in the basement.
"Wow, Angel that's a large swimming pool," Xander said, looking stunned at the pool.
"Daddy, put me down. I want to swim," William said, wriggling his way to the ground.
"Be careful William. You're still learning, remember?" Xander warned the boy.
William took of the towel and ran to side of the pool. "Xander, he's naked," Angel stared at the naked boy.
"Nicely observed, Angel," Xander said. "We forgot his swimsuit."
"Come one daddy, granddad. I want to swim," William said, pulling his dad and granddad towards the pool. Hurry up, I want to learn.
Xander and Angel both jumped in the pool, splashing the boy. William giggled and held out his hands.
"Jump, William, I will catch you," Angel said.
William wasn't sure; he never jumped before. He stood at the side of the pool, bending his knees and jumped, squealing when his granddad caught him. "You ready to get wet," Angel said to William.
William eyes widened and looked around for his dad, he couldn't find him. Angel felt the boy panicking, when he couldn't find his father. Where is Dad….Xander?
"Xander, come here. Your son can't see you," Angel said to Xander, who was currently shooting pictures.
"I am here William. See, I was just taking pictures of you," Xander calmly told his son. Again?
William saw his dad and the panic left immediately, he smiled and told his granddad he was ready. Angel dropped him in the water, but held the boy by the hips. William squealed he was going to swim! "Daddy, you have to teach me!" He yelled at his father.
Angel and Xander placed their hands William's back and front. Xander told William how to use his hands. After practising this for the next 10 minutes, he started with the legs.
Angel let his hands go and only Xander had his hands on William.
William was doing the best he could, he felt he was ready to do it alone. "Let go, daddy," He said. I am swimming….Dad let go!
Xander let go but swam next to him just in case. He looked so proud at his son. "Mummy, granddad look! I am swimming," William yelled.
Willow, Giles and Cordelia had watched the three men from the side, Willow and Giles looking proudly at William, Cordelia smiling at Angel seeing how he was acting around his former Childe. She was wondering if he knew the boy was really Spike.
William swam some more while the grown ups sat on the side looking at the boy.
"When did you know he was Spike?" Xander asked Angel. Angel looked at Xander with surprising eyes.
"That's Spike?" Angel said, not realising that was his Childe. The others laughed at Angel, who was looking at the swimming boy. "Does he remember being Spike?" Angel asked the couple.
"No, he doesn't. He thinks Willow and Xander are his parents and I am one of his granddads," Giles answered. "We don't even know if he will remember this, that's why we are taking pictures," he added.
Angel went into the pool again and dove under water. He opened his eyes and began swimming to the boy. William was looking at his parents, but couldn't find one of his grandfathers. He wanted to ask where his granddad went, when he saw a shadow swimming under him. He screamed bloody murder, right before Angel grabbed him and tickled him. Angel, no tickling! Noooooooo!
Xander and Willow looked up at the scream and saw Angel tickling the boy. William got scared when he saw the shadow, but was relieved when he was tickled. He knew it was his granddad, trying to sneak up on him. He screamed loudly, but ended crying loudly when he realised he had peed in the pool.
Angel carried him toward the side trying to calm him down. It didn't work, Willow walked towards him and wrapped him in a towel before sitting on the chair again with William in her lap.
"William, what's wrong?" Willow asked. "I peed in the pool," William whispered in his mother's ear. I couldn't help myself, he was tickling me….honest!
Angel heard this and climbed on the side, he walked towards Willow and plucked the boy from her lap and jumped back in the pool. He walked to a corner to have a private conversation with the boy.
"Little one, it happens sometimes. Especially when someone tickles you," Angel said to the boy, who was still looking at the water. "Little one, look at me," he said, waiting for William to look at him.
"That's my boy, I'm proud of you. You learned to swim within 30 minutes," He said, distracting him from the main subject.
"Really?" he shyly asked. You're proud of me? …….Hey, you distracted me!……you're really proud of me.Spike repeated the words to himself.
"Yes, really. How about a contest? The one who swims faster to the other side has won," He challenged the boy.
William looked from his granddad to the other side he nodded.
Willow walked to the other side and held an ice scream cone in her hand. "The one who is first, get this ice scream cone," Willow said.
Xander jumped in the water and joined them. Cordelia whistled and they began swimming. Angel and Xander both behind William. William was tiring himself out; he wanted to win so badly. He didn't look back and began swimming harder. Giles was encouraging him. He touched the other side with a big smile. He looked behind him and saw his dad and granddad racing who will be second.
"Granddad, swim harder. Daddy is behind you," William yelled at his granddad.
"Hey, what about me? Who's supporting me?" Xander said.
Angel touched the other side a second before Xander did. William jumped from the ridge smiling that his grandfather had won. Only he didn't realise he couldn't stand in the pool and went under water. In a panic he forgot his lessons how to swim and he swallowed water and went hysterical. Xander grabbed him and held him above water. He began coughing and crying, he held onto his dad. I'm want to go out of the water.
Xander stepped out of the pool and walked with Angel to the showers. The three men began washing off the pool water. William's crying tempered off until only sniffles were heard.
When they were dressed, he placed William on his shoulders. William held onto his dad's hair. "And we have a winner!" Angel raised his voice. Willow walked towards William and handed him the ice scream cone, who happily took his price. Yummy.
"All right, it's time to get us some dinner," Cordelia said, getting hungry.
They went to a small restaurant near the hotel. Angel and Cordelia told them they were engaged. Angel had asked her to marry him and she had said yes. Cordelia blushed when she showed Willow the ring.You're going to be my grandmum.
William who was trying to follow the conversation only picked up that his granddad is going to marry the dark haired lady. "Will you be my grandmum?" William asked. You heard me?
Cordelia looked up, she smiled at the boy and nodded. "I guess I will be," she said.
After dinner they went back to the hotel. William yawned, it was past his bedtime. No, I don't want to go to sleep...Darn my eyes just closed.
William fell asleep on the couch. Angel picked him up and walked with Xander to their room. William was going to sleep in their bed for two days. They undressed him, put his pajamas on, which turned out to be rather difficult with William who kept turning. Then tucked him in, Angel looked at William and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Xander smiled, said goodnight to his son and together they joined the ladies downstairs.
The grown-ups looked at the photo's that were made and completed the album with memories of the second day. Xander and Willow went to their shared bedroom, changed and curled around their son.
