The whole walk back no one spoke. Buffy and Angel walked down to his apartment and he pulled a chair out for Buffy at his kitchen table. Everything started to look so familiar to her, but she'd never been down here before. This was all so strange. She couldn't take the silence, so she spoke first. "So, I thought you were gonna tell me what's going on. The suspense is sorta killing me."

And he did. She's never seen him cry before, really cry, or so she could remember. He was sobbing by the end of it, but so was she. She couldn't believe it, but at the same time, it made sense. All her dreams were coming together and it hurt like hell. But still after everything, neither of them understood how she could be…pregnant. Hello, vampires can't have kids!

"Wow, that's…that's unbelievable. Well, not unbelievable really but…wow." Jesus! How could he keep this stuff from me…didn't I at least deserve to know this.

They were silent again for a while, and this time angel was the antsy one. "So, what are you thinking?" He knew what she was thinking…

WHAT WAS SHE THINKGING? What else would I be thinking. "I just don't understand why you didn't tell me this. How could you keep this from me? If it was about Riley...Remeber after that way inapropriate even for us movie and I was upset because i hated frustrating you because we couldnt be together in that way? You told me that it was nice just to feel when we were together. After you left I couldn't feel anything. All I felt was numb and broken. That's the only thing that riley was about. I don't love him, I just wanted to feel something, anything." She paused, but then she kept thinking and it got herall fired up again."There were so many times this past year when I didn't think I could go on with the rest of my life and all that time, the only thing that kept me going was remembering what we were, and what we had. I just-" She stopped suddenly. She was feeling so odd right now. Aside from the fact that she still loved him, she wanted things to be right between them, especially with a baby on the way. But this- this was too much.

"What? Come on Buffy, you can tell me"

"Never mind, you wouldn't understand."

I wouldn't understand? "I wouldn't understand? How could you even think that? Buffy, you weren't the only one who got hurt out of this. I mean I know I left you and I know that I screwed things up but the only reason I didn't tell you was because I thought that you were happy with Riley. I wanted you to be happy, and if I came back and told you something like that-" He was completely losing his cool in a very un-angel like fashion. Get it together damn it. I couldn't see that look like I just stomped all over your heart again… Buffy, just because I left you doesn't mean that I didn't love you. I do, so much, I never stopped. And now, we have this amazing miracle of a chance to start things over and make it right. The time we spent apart has been like a wake up call. Even if it's only5 minutes, I want to spend all the time I can with you, and with our baby. If that's okay."

She was crying now. It's crazy how when everything you've been wanting finally happens and you don't know what to say, she'd thought about it so many times… " God, I- I love you too. And I love that you want to be with the baby and me and- of course it's okay" And then she showed him just how okay it was with a kiss filled with every piece of emotion they'd felt for the last year. Angel was in complete bliss at that moment, but then a small nagging thought that he just couldn't ignore popped into his head.

He pulled away and got a worried look from Buffy in response to the weird look he was sure he had on. "I hate to ask this, but are you sure it's mine?" It could be your new boyfriend's for all I know. He left that part out. He'd hurt her enough for a lifetime already.

"What do you mean?" She really wanted to kiss him again but, he gave her a look, and she could see that he had to be sure, now. "Oh. You mean how do I know it isn't Riley's. Trust me, it's yours. I can feel it. There are just some things your certain of. When I started getting sick, Willow said that I should go to the doctor and surprise! Baby! I still don't get that though. I mean, the powers that be took the day back, so how can I be pregnant?

"I don't know. I'm kinda at a loss for ideas here. I mean your right, it doesn't make sense." Between the whole I still love you and we're having a baby thing, well it was all a little too much for Angel to handle, but at the same time, it was something he'd secretly wanted.

"OK, now I don't really know if this is a long shot or whatever, but you went to see the powers that day, right?"

"uhuh" He saw where she was going with this…
