The Next Night -Streets Of Sunnydale
Buffy and Angelus walked the streets of Sunnydale in silence.
"It's a beautiful night." Angelus observed.
"Yeah." Buffy replied.
Angelus stopped and looked down at her. "Buff what's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing." She said quickly. At his look of disbelief she continued. "You're leaving. I'm not sure how I feel about that." She told him. "Don't get me wrong I love Angel. He was my first love and he made me believe that there was a reason for me to fight. He made me see that everything's not just black and white. There's gray too. And I miss him and I'm elated that he's coming back, but there's you. You were my worse nightmare. Everything I feared. A vampire I couldn't kill but who would have no problems killing me. Something I can't protect my friends and the world from, Angelus. But. I don't know. Now, you're not him. You're just Angelus, the father of my kids, my friend. At least that's what I see you as. You're someone I can trust and know will have my back. Now you're leaving and I know I'll have that with Angel, but it's different. Cuz you two are different. I just got used to not having Angel, but having you. Now I have to get used to having Angel and not you. It's gonna be difficult, and a little weird. Plus I know Angel will be doing some major brooding when he gets back."
"Do. do you really trust me?" He asked her. Shocked.
"Yes. I do." She said placing her small hand into his larger one.
"Don't worry. I'll be with you. Angel may be the one controlling the body, but I'm always there." He said, trying to comfort her, and himself.
She just nodded and they continued to walk.
"Plus if you ever want me back all you have to do is get Angel to have sex with you." He said with a chuckle.
The Next Morning- The Mansion
Buffy walked up to Angelus' mansion the next morning. Willow had done the spell twenty minutes ago. Buffy decided she should go see if Angel was okay. When she got there all the cars that were normally there were gone and there was a note on the door.
Slayer
Angelus told us what you're little witch friend was going to do and kicked us out. Now that Angel's back you really wont need us but Angelus has made us keep our promise to never step foot in Sunnydale for hunting grounds and we wont. Some of my men are going to stay, Dru says that they are to help you whenever you need them. Though who knows what'll happen when Soul Boy finds out. Anyways. we'll be back, Dru and I, when the babies are born. Dru wants to see her new little brother and sister. Tell Angel Dru says 'hi' and keep the runts safe. My grandsire would hate it if you got them hurt.
Spike
P.S. We left some pigs blood in the fridge for the poof.
Buffy folded the note back up and put it in her pocket. * Angel will freak when he sees this. * She thought to herself before entering the mansion. Buffy walked straight to Angelus', no Angel's room. She opened the door slowly and spotted Angel laying on the bed, flat on his back. He was sans shirt and the blanket covered his lower half. * God I forgot how great his body is. * She thought as she moved closer to the bed. * He looks dead * * Well duh, he is. * Buffy shook her head and stared at him, before climbing into bed with him, laying her head on his chest. Angel opened his eyes as he felt the bed shift and saw Buffy. He was going to say something, but when she placed her head on his chest and shut her eyes, he changed his mind. Angel closed his eyes again and was soon asleep.
Later that evening
Buffy woke up and saw Angel staring down at her. She looked up at him and smiled. "Welcome back." She said as she sat up.
"Yeah. Thanks." He said moving to sit up next to her.
"How do you feel? Did you feel anything?"
Angel just looked at her with a pained expression. "I hurt so many people." He said looking down at the bed, which was suddenly looking very interesting.
Buffy gently grabbed his face and forced him to look into her eyes. "No. You didn't. Angelus did." She said trying to make him see how much the two were different, though she didn't even believe that they were all that different anymore.
Angel just nodded
"Umm. Oh the gang says 'hi'." She told him trying to keep them from falling into uncomfortable silence, as she dropped her hand back on her lap.
"Oh. Umm. How's Willow? Is she okay?"
"Yeah. She's fine."
"That's good."
"Angel, what do you remember? Do you remember everything from when Angelus was in control?"
"No, just the pain. And for some reason happiness, but I don't know why." He said looking at her.
Buffy smiled. She remembered how Angelus told her that he was so happy that he was going to be an actual father. She wondered how Angel would react. * Will he lose his soul again? * "Angel, there's something I need to tell you."
"Yeah?" Angel asked. He wasn't sure if he wanted to know. It had to be horrible, if it involved Angelus.
"Angel. I'm pregnant. With twins, and they're yours." She told him.
Angel just looked at her with total confusion. "That's."
"Not possible? Yes it is. Giles looked it up. Apparently there is something in me that allows me to revive certain, umm things. Therefore making you able to father children. It's a slayer thing." She told him.
"Oh." He said. Then a smile formed across his face as he noticed the bulge at her stomach, for the first time. "I can't believe I'm going to be a father." He said placing his hand on her stomach Well believe it you idiot. She's pregnant. You have to make sure she's safe. Do not let anything happen to her or our children Angelus yelled from deep inside Angel.
Angel looked up at Buffy. His smiled falling.
"What's wrong?" She asked him.
"Angelus. He's. different."
"How so?" "He's encouraging me to keep you safe."
Buffy smiled. "Is there a way that you could. I don't know. Speak to him?" She asked.
"Yeah. Why?" He asked, not sure where this was going.
"Can you tell him, that he needs to stop worrying, I'll be okay?" She asked him.
"Okay." He replied. Then he was silent for a while, before looking up at Buffy. "He says that's never gonna happen."
Buffy sighs and flops down on the bed. "Great!" She grunts.
Angel was silent for a while then he looked down at Buffy and said, "You love him."
Buffy looked up at him startled by his statement, but then nodded slowly. "Yeah, I kind of do. But it's different. I love you and him. Different ways, for different reasons." She told him. Hoping he wouldn't be mad.
He just nodded. I love her too. Tell her I love her too. Angelus screamed in his head. "He says he loves you too."
Buffy looked at him and nodded.
"So am I going to have to ask him or will you tell me how this happened?" Angel asked her as he moved to his closet and grabbed a shirt.
"How what happened?"
"How you two became so close."
"Oh. Well. I don't know. Dru had some sort of vision thing and found out I was pregnant. Angelus found out and then he came to Giles' apartment. He told me that from then on, no vamps would be hunting in Sunnydale. That his 'minions' were going to help me, when and if I needed it. He gave me his number and everything. Then he gave me $200 and told me he'd see me the next night. The next night he came back and he kept coming back. One night he accompanied me to my doctors' appointment. He watched as I got a sonogram done and saw the babies. He was so happy. We talked and we got closer. He became a friend. When the gang would go on patrol he'd come over and help me with my homework or watch some TV with me. Sometimes he'd take me out. We went to the mall once and to the Espresso Pump, sometimes he'd take me to the Bronze and let me have my fun, then walk me back to Giles'."
"Giles'? Why Giles'?" He asked.
Buffy looked down and was silent for a while. When she looked back up there were tears in her eyes. "My mom. She kicked me out. When I told her I was pregnant. She said she didn't want any part in this and left." She said crying.
Angel was at her side holding her in an iinstent. "Shh. Baby. Shh. It's okay. I'm here. It's okay." He said running his hands through her hair.
"I've been living with Giles. I've been saving all the money Angelus has been giving me, to save up for an apartment. He's been paying the doctor's bills too. He even gave me his bank number so that I could take money out when I need it." She said. "Though I've never taken any." She confessed drying her tears.
"Why not?" He asked as he let go of her. His arms suddenly, feeling empty.
"Because I couldn't. I just didn't feel right about taking someone else's money. Even if he is the undead father of my child." She said with a small smile.
Angel smiled. Damn good doers. Angelus said sighing. Angel chuckled. At Buffy's confused look he explained. "Angelus called you a good doer."
Buffy just nodded. "Is he mad that I haven't used the money?"
Angel just shook his head. "No. He figured you wouldn't, but I'm, I mean, we are still going to be paying for the doctor's visits. Plus I'll give you the rest of the money you'll need for your apartment." He told her. Ask her to move into that house you own on South Street. Angelus screamed. Angel just ignored him. He wasn't about to ask Buffy to move in with him. Not so soon. Who knew how she'd react. She'd be fine with it you idiot. She needs to get out of Giles' apartment and she loves you. Plus she knows she wouldn't have to do this alone if you two live together. Angelus told him. * No. I'll ask her in my own time. * Angel thought back. What the hell is your problem? Just ask her! Angelus yelled back. "NO!" Angel yelled.
Buffy looked at Angel. "No what?"
"Nothing. Just arguing with Angelus." He said.
"Oh. About what?"
"Nothing important."
" Oh." She said looking down. Then she glanced back up. "Hungry? Spike left you some pigs blood."
"Spike?"
"Yeah. He left me a note too. Dru and he will be back when the babies are born." She said taking to note from her pocket and handing it to him. "Do you like your blood warm?" She asked him.
"Yeah." He said opening the letter and reading. Damn good childe I have. Angelus said as Angel read the note.
"Buffy?" Angel said standing and walking into the kitchen. "How did you? I mean. did you actually let them help you?"
"You mean the other vamps? Nah. I've honestly only been here once. I came two days ago to tell Angelus that Willow was gonna do the spell." She said pouring the blood into a mug.
"But other then the money that's all you've ever taken from Angelus or his guys?"
"Yeah. I mean when they've seen me on the streets they asked me if I needed anything, but I would always say no. Then they would follow me home. They thought I didn't know, but I felt their presence behind me. Figured they just wanted to know I was okay, cuz if I wasn't I'm sure Angelus would have taken it out on them." She said smiling as she placed the mug into the microwave and pressed start on it.
"Oh. So you didn't have contact with any of them other then that?" He asked. "Not even with Spike and Dru?"
"No. I mean Spike told me which room was Angelus' the other day when I came by, but that was it." She said pulling the mug out from the microwave and handing it to him. "Here you go. 98.6 degrees."
"Thanks."
"No problem." She said sitting down next to him.
Angel sat there looking down at the mug of blood in front of him, and then he looked up. "Buffy, what happened between you and Angelus?" He asked still staring at his mug.
"Huh?" Buffy asked startled by the question.
"Did. did anything happen, between you and Angelus?" He asked looking up at her with sad eyes.
Buffy moved toward Angel and stood in front of him in between his legs. She placed a hand on each of his cheeks and looked him in his eyes. "No. I could never do that to you. I'm not saying that I hadn't thought about it, because I have. There were times where he would look at me and I would see you in his eyes. Or he'd say something so sweet that I would think it was still you. And I'd want him to kiss me. I'd want those hands on my body, those arms holding me. But then I'd remember that it wasn't you. No matter how much I trusted Angelus or how nice he was to me, I could never be with anyone but you." She told him. "I love you. Always will." She finished with a soft smile.
Angel smiled himself, his smile growing larger as Angelus screamed his dismay inside him. "I love you too. Forever." He said wrapping his arms around her waist.
Buffy laid her head on his shoulder, fully content to never move from the safety of his arms. "Hmmmmmm" She said softly. "I've missed this so much."
"Missed what?"
"Missed being in your arms. Missed you holding me." She said looking up to him.
"I've missed this too." He said looking down at her. "You know what I've missed too?" He asked her.
"No what?"
"Doing, this." He said before kissing her softly on her lips.
Passion grew as Buffy and Angel kissed. Hands roamed and moans of lust sprung up from deep within each other. Things were getting out of control and they both knew it, but neither wanted to stop, nor could they if they wanted to. Yes. I want to come back. Keep it up! Angelus yelled in both of their heads.
Angel and Buffy flew apart and stared at each other.
Buffy and Angelus walked the streets of Sunnydale in silence.
"It's a beautiful night." Angelus observed.
"Yeah." Buffy replied.
Angelus stopped and looked down at her. "Buff what's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing." She said quickly. At his look of disbelief she continued. "You're leaving. I'm not sure how I feel about that." She told him. "Don't get me wrong I love Angel.
