8 Reviews all of which made me VERY HAPPY. Sorry this wasn't up sooner but my fucked up computer was fucked up

Last night Buffy and Angel had managed to work everything out. Angel was going to take care of his Buffy and his little Joy. Buffy had picked the perfect name for the little girl. Joy. That was what she was a little joy. She was their little Joy.

Buffy knew that she'd have to talk to her mother. Everything had been worked out with Angel, but Buffy knew that she had to repair her relationship with her mother. Everyone had seemed, angry with Buffy. Buffy knew the fake smiles. Deep down her friends were really upset that she hadn't called or left much warning of her departure.

Buffy knew she had a lot of relationships to repair. Faith and Angel were the only ones that Buffy hadn't somehow let down. Her relationships with Willow and Xander would take some mending. She had left her best friends behind without warning.

She deserved the coldness and she knew it. Giles was just disappointed because she ran off like that with no regards for her calling. She figured that she would start mending the broken relationship with her mother first though.

She'd been standing outside her mother's bedroom door for 20 minutes. She was afraid. She needed her mother, her mommy. Finally she knocked.

"Come in, Buffy," Joyce said.

"How'd you know it was me?" Buffy asked as she walked in.

"You've been standing there for at least 20 minutes Buffy. I heard you shuffling around out there."

Buffy just stood there staring at her mother. She was afraid to say anything. She hadn't talked to her mother or even looked at her mother last night. A tiny cry jolted Buffy from her thoughts and she ran to Joy.

Angel had awoken and was holding Joy when Buffy walked in. Joy was screaming in her father's arms. Angel had NO idea as to what to do. Buffy just smiled at him and took Joy out of his arms. She stopped crying once in her mother's arms.

"How did you do that?" Angel asked when Joy stopped crying.

"It's a mom thing," Buffy answered.

"Joy are you hungry?" Buffy asked the little baby gently.

Joy just smiled up at her mommy. Mommy always seemed to know what she wanted.

Buffy took the hint. She pulled her shirt off and purposely through it at Angel. She placed Joy to her breast.

Angel was angered that Buffy would just throw her shirt at his face, and he pulled it off and threw it at her. The shirt landed in Buffy's hand, as she had been expecting Angel to react the way he had.

She threw it back at him and said, "Still can't take a joke?"

Angel laughed. He was so stupid. Buffy had been joking with him and he was so damn stupid.

"Still can't take a joke I guess," he replied.

She realized how stupid Angel was feeling, and she just smiled. He had a red color to his face, in his embarrassment. Angel looked adorable when he was blushing. It was so cute.

Joyce walked in the room. She had been wondering what was wrong with Joy and what Buffy and Angel had been up to. The sight she got was of Angel, with Buffy's pink pajama shirt on his head, and of Buffy feeding Joy. Angel through the shirt back at Buffy and she had caught it. Angel and Buffy were just now realizing that she was standing there.

"Hey mom," Buffy said. She was still trying to not laugh at Angel and his inability to take a joke.

"Was there something you needed to tell me Buffy?"

Buffy froze up. She still didn't know what to say. She was so sorry that she had left her mother here like she had. She was just so sorry.

After a few moments Buffy handed Joy to Angel and walked over to her mother.

"Um could we?" Angel understood and was about to walk out of the room with Joy until Buffy stopped him. He then realized that Buffy wanted to go elsewhere to talk with her mother. Joyce seemed to realize also and the pair walked out leaving Angel with a very asleep baby.

Joyce's bedroom

"I don't want things to be like this mom. I know you're disappointed in me and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left the way I did, but you told me to go and…" Buffy couldn't word her feelings and paused. She realized her thoughts and suddenly continued. "And it was just the opening I needed. I didn't want you to find out that I was pregnant and I had just sent Angel to hell and it- it just made things easier," Buffy finished.

"Buffy you didn't disappoint me. I just wish you hadn't left."

"How can you honestly say that I don't disappoint you? I'm not even 18 and I have a 1 week old daughter. How is that not disappointing?" Buffy screamed. She was angered with herself. She was disappointed in herself. She felt like a complete screw up.

"You don't disappoint me because I understand. It was a prophesy or whatever. It was going to happen no matter what."

"Still, I feel like I let you down," she mumbled. Buffy came and buried her head in her mommy's shoulder. They stood there and hugged for what seemed like forever.

"You're not a disappointment Buffy," Joyce said, gently.

"I don't see how you can say that," Buffy whispered.

"I can not be disappointed in you because. Because when I was 17 I got pregnant." Joyce had never wanted to admit that before, but now she kinda felt the need to.

"What?" Buffy asked never having felt so surprised.

"It's a really long story Buffy, but it was a miscarriage."

Buffy was grateful for her mother. Joyce hadn't been disappointed in Buffy because she had made the same mistake or done the same thing.

"So you're not angry?" Buffy asked.

"No. I'm not angry. I love you Buffy and I wanna have the chance to love my granddaughter."

"You want that chance now Joyce?" Angel asked as he walked into the room holding a crying baby.

"Sure," Joyce answered as lifted the screaming child from her father's arms.

As soon as Joyce had Joy Angel made a run for it. Buffy stared after him as if he were crazy before walking off herself to find Angel. He was just gonna have to get used to having a little baby.
