Summary: AU. Set after I will remember you. Buffy isn't with Riley she never was.When she finds out she is pregnant, she goes to see Angel.
Some of you may be aware that I have posted this story before. It disappeared for a while because I wanted to re-work some of it.
>stands for thoughts>
For this story just pretend that Buffy and Willow have an en-suite dorm room.
Also pretend that Buffy met Gunn when she ran away to L.A. at the end of season 2 of Buffy and that spike has already left Giles' apartment.
………………………………………………………………………………………
Here's the next instalment for ya. I hope you all enjoy. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, it was great.

"Anyway guys, me and Cordy gotta get going. I've got some work to do for tomorrow and I make a sweep around the cemeteries tonight."
"Your still gonna patrol?"
"Yeah. I mean who else is gonna do it?"
"Well we could."
"No. I don't want to risk you guys getting hurt."
"At least let us come with you."
"Fine. Cordy was gonna come with anyway."
"You offered to patrol with her?"
"Duh, I wasn't going to let her go out by herself. Angel would kill me if he found out."
"Be ready for sundown guys."
Everyone who was going voiced his or her acceptances. Buffy nodded and her and Cordelia left the apartment and headed back towards the college campus. Upon arriving Buffy groaned, as in the distance she could see Riley standing in front of the entrance of the building that inhabited her dorm room.
"What's wrong, Buffy?"
"You see that guy over there, blocking the entrance where we want to go."
"The one that's standing so straight and still he looks like cardboard."
"Yeah."
"What about him?"
"Well he has a crush on me and no matter how many times I try to tell him that I'm not interested, he never seems to get the idea."
"Do you ant me to say something?"
"No, I'll just try again, if that doesn't work then you can try."
"Ok."
Buffy and Cordy exited the car and walked towards riley."
"Hi Buffy and……friend."
"Hi Riley, this is Cordelia."
"Nice to meet you Cordelia. So Buffy what you doing tonight?"
"Homework."
"Oh, I was wondering if you wanted to do something. With me."
"Actually I don't think that would be a good idea. I'm already seeing someone."
"You are? Oh that's ok. Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why are you seeing him and not me?"
"Because I love him."
"Already, you've only known him what, 4 days, you didn't have someone when we last spoke."
"Actually doofus. She's known him longer than that. Ever since she moved here."
"Who asked you?"
"Well you weren't getting the picture, and I'm sure Buffy's boyfriend wouldn't like you hanging around her, especially since she's pregnant with his baby."
"Y-y-y-your pregnant?"
"Yeah."
"Oh. Um. I'll see you in class tomorrow."
With that said Riley turned around and sulked off. Buffy thanked Cordelia for finally getting Riley to get the message, or at least she hoped he had, and they continued their journey up to the dorms.

Buffy and Cordy were lead on their separate beds. Cordelia was reading a magazine whilst Buffy was doing work.
"Finally, done."
"Its about time, you've been doing that for ages."
"Well that's college life for you."
"I'm so glad I didn't go."
Buffy laughed.
"What time is it?"
"5.45pm."
"You wanna head down to get something to eat before we head off for patrol?"
"Sure."
………………………………………………………………………………………
The girls were sat in the cafeteria eating their food and talking.
"Where are we meeting the others?"
"Restfield cemetery."
"Cool. You know, I thought it would be weird coming back here, but its not."
"Still feels like home huh?"
"A little. It'll be good to do something familiar though."
"Is that why you're coming patrolling tonight?"
"Yes and no. Yes because, whether you believe it or not, that's one of things I miss about Sunnydale, getting to hang out with everyone. And no because Angel would seriously kill me if he knew that you patrolling alone."
"Well he'll just have to get used to it when he's not around, I mean it's still my duty and everything, and I do have back up. Besides I will have to stop sometime, I'll get too big to move skillfully."
"Yeah" cordy laughed, "You'll probably move slower as well."
"True."
………………………………………………………………………………………
The gang did a quick sweep of all the cemeteries last night as Buffy wanted to get some rest so she could stay awake in her class the next morning. She only had one and she and Cordelia were planning on doing a bit of shopping before she had to leave.
"Cordy I'm back. I hope your ready to leave."
"Yeah, yeah. I'm ready. We've got about 4 hours before I have to leave again."
"We better go then."
At the mall, Buffy and Cordy had already been in like a gazillion shops. They were looking for Christmas presents for Angel and the Gangs. Cordy only had to get a couple as she had already bought presents in L.A. but Buffy was struggling to get something perfect for Angel. They were currently in a weapons shop.
"What about this?"
"He already has 2 of those."
"Why would he want 2?"
"Well he always keeps one spare. Especially since I keep borrowing then for everyday things instead of fighting."
"Ok."
"Well where else could we look?"
"Oh my god. I've got the perfect idea."
"What?"
Cordy told Buffy her idea, which Buffy thought was brilliant and they headed off towards the shop where the perfect present was residing.
………………………………………………………………………………………
"Well, as much fun as this really has been, I should be getting back to LA."
"I know. I'll walk you to your car."
"Nah don't worry about it. It would only mean you had to come back here anyway, cause you still have to do more shopping."
"Ok, but as long as you promises me that you'll ring me when you get back. Oh and tell Angel I love him."
"Well that's a given and yes I'll call you. I'll see you on Thursday."
"Yeah see ya."
Cordy and Buffy both rose from where they were sat in Starbucks and gave each other a hug. Cordy then left for her car and Buffy went in the other direction towards some more shops. She had decided to buy Angel some Clothes as well as his other gift.
………………………………………………………………………………………
Buffy got home from her shopping trip to find Willow was back. She was lead on her bed highlighting some work.
"Hey will."
"Hey Buffy. Did you have a good time shopping?"
"Yeah it was good fun, sorry you couldn't come."
"I know, darn those classes of mine. So what did ya get?"
"Christmas presents and yes yours is inone of these bags and no you cant see what it is." Buffy said putting all the bags into her closet.
"Fine but then I wont tell you what I got you."
"I don't want to know anyway"
"But it's really good."
"Well then it'll make it extra special when I open it on Christmas day."
"I suppose so. What are you doing for Christmas this year."?
"I was meaning to talk to you about that, I was planning on going to LA, to spend it with Angel."
"That sounds nice. My folks are out of town this year, so I get to spend it how I want."
"If you'd like I could always ask Angel if you could spend it with us as well."
"Do you think he'd mind, I mean what if he wants you all to himself?"
"Well if he does he cant anyway, Wesley and Cordy'll be there too."
"Well in that case I'd love to."
"Great I'll ask him tonight."

'ring ring' 'ring ring'
"Hello."
"Hey Buffy. I'm back, safe and sound."
"Hey Cordy, I'm glad. Are you at the office?"
"Yeah, you want Angel?"
"Of course."
"ANGEL. PHONE."
"He's just coming Buffy."
"Thanks."
Cordy handed the phone to Angel.
"Hello."
"Hey hunny."
"Buffy, hey. How are you?"
"Im fine, both of us."
"Good. What have you been up to?"
"Lots of shopping for Christmas prezzies for you."
"Oh yeah."
"Yeah. Speaking of Christmas, I was wondering if Willow could join us."
"Sure."
"I mean cause her families out of town."
"I said yes Buffy. Bring whoever you like. As long as it's not a guy."
"Not even Xander?"
"Ok maybe Xander, but that's only cause he has a girlfriend."
"Cool. Thanks. Anyways I have got to get going I have an early class and need my sleep and I'm gonna tell mom tomorrow about us and the baby."
"Ok baby, get some sleep. I love you."
"I love you too."
With that they both hung up the phone.

Buffy's classes had all gone smoothly that day. She didn't even bump into Riley, which was always good. At first she felt so excited as it was the last day and they had Christmas break, but she was nervous now though, she was on her way to her mothers'. Somehow she knew it was going to go badly. I mean this is Joyce we're talking about. Buffy walked up the driveway of 1630 Revello Drive and walked into the house.
"Mom, you here."
"In the kitchen hunny."
"Hey."
"Hi sweetie how are you doing?"
"I'm good, really good actually."
"That's good sweetheart. What's brought this change of mood about?"
Joyce had noticed that her daughter had been in a bit of a mood since she had made Angel go away.
"Well, as much as I know your going to hat this, I got back together with Angel mom."
"WHAT? WHY?"
"Because, we love each other. And I'm having his baby."
"BABY! But Buffy he's not good enough for you and I thought vampires couldn't have children?"
"They cant, but there was this day and Angel was turned human and we made a baby mom, I didn't know it at the time though it wasn't planned."
"So he's human now, well it doesn't make a difference he's still not good enough."
"No he's not human, he had the day taken back because I would have died otherwise. He's still a vampire."
"Then that's even more reason to get rid of him, like I did."
"You what! You're the one that made Angel leave me? How could you?"
"Because I love you."
"You love me" How could someone who loved me do that. You had no right."
"Of course I had a right, you're my daughter and you do what I tell you to do."
"Mom I'm 18 years old, not 8. You can't control my life anymore."
"Yes I can, which is why I'm setting you up an appointment at this clinic I know."
"Clinic? What clinic?"
"To get rid of that thing inside of you. That monsters sporn."
"You want me to have an abortion. NO. I wont."
"Yes you will, or you will get out of my house."
"Im not going to have an abortion mom." Buffy said angrily.
"Then you are no daughter of mine. Get out of my sight."
"But mom. I.."
"LEAVE."
Buffy ran out of the house in tears, she kept on running until she couldn't anymore."
