"Buffy they are soooo cute." Willow squealed.

"Yeah Buff, they are a two some of cuteness." Xander chimed in.

"How are you feeling Buffy?" Giles asked his charge.

"I'm okay. This IV in my hand is kind of itching me though." She replied,

scratching her hand.

"What did I tell you my love. Stop it." Angel said slapping her hand.

"Here, try some lotion Buffy." Cordelia said pulling out a little bottle of lotion from her purse.

"Thanks Cor."

"So where's OZ?" Buffy asked Willow.

"Oh he was here but then he had to go. They had a gig today."

"Oh."

"But I called him and he said to say congrats and that he'll be back with mini dingoes shirts."

"Great."

"So Buffy, what are their names?" Cordelia asked.

"Oh. Well we haven't decided yet?" Angel replied.

"Actually. I thought of a name for both. I was thinking we could call the boy, Liam Alexander. Liam after his daddy and Alexander and his uncle." Buffy said smiling.

"What do you think?"

"I love it." Angel replied kissing his lover.

"Xander?"

"I'm... I'm honored Buff."

"I was also thinking Emily Rose for the girl. Emily for your mother and Rose which is short for Rosenberg for her awesome auntie."

"Oh my god Buffy. Are you serious? I mean... oh my god." Willow said happily.

"What do you think, Angel?"

"I love it."

Yes lover great names? Angelus replied.

Buffy jumped. She hadn't heard Angelus in about a day, she almost forgot about

him. "Thank you Angelus."

Everyone looked at her and nodded.

"Hey Angel, do you think Angelus hears the rest of us?" Willow asked.

"Yeah Willow. I mean we share the same ears so I guess so."

"Oh. Okay. Hi Angelus. Congrats." Willow said shyly.

Hello Willow. Thank you very much. Angelus answered

"He says Hi and thanks." Angel told her.

Willow just smiled.

"So Buffy. When do you think they'll let you go home?" Cordelia asked.

"I hope soon. I really hate hospitals, but the doctor said I have to say a few days

for observation."

"They want to keep on eye on the children. Make sure that they are okay. Healthy and that Buffy's spleen is okay." Angel finished stroking his loves head.

Emily started crying and Angel went over to the basinet and picked her up. He carried her over to her mother and handed her over to Buffy. Buffy held Emily in her arms and looked down in awe at her daughter. She had blonde hair and dark chocolate eyes, with fat little cheeks and the cutest nose ever.

Upon hearing his sisters wailing Liam started to cry. Angel picked up his son and sat next to Buffy on the bed. Liam was his sisters opposite. Where Emily had her fathers eyes and her mothers hair, Liam had his fathers dark hair and mothers green eyes.

Everyone in the room just watched as Angel and Buffy held their children and rocked them back to sleep.

Later that Night

"Oooo. Spiky I told you they were here." Drusilla cooed from the door to Buffy's hospital room.

Angel and Buffy looked up and saw Spike and Drusilla standing at the door.

"Dru, Spike, what are you doing here?" Angel asked his childer.

"Told the bint wed be back to see the kiddies." Spike answered.

"Daddy can we come in and see the babies?" Drusilla asked in a child like voice.

Angel looked over at Buffy. Buffy nodded.

"Yay!" Dru giggled.

"Why'd you even ask Dru, you don't need an invite. It's a public place." Angel asked.

"Cause I didn't want to make Step mum upset." Drusilla said leaning over the bassinet.

Spike walked over to Buffy's bed and handed her a bouquet of red roses. "For the new mommy. Congrats Sire." Spike said to Angel.

"Daddy, can I hold them?" Dru asked.

"Sure Dru." Buffy answered.

"So what's the runts names?" Spike asked as he picked up Liam and Dru picked up Emily.

"Well Spike, you're holding Liam Alexander O'Conner and Dru has Emily Rose O'Conner." Buffy answered.

"How do you feel Step mummy?" Dru asked as she peered at the little girl in her arms.

"I'm feeling good. Tired."

"Well we'll leave you to then. I'll be in town for a while." Spike said laying Liam in his bassinette.

"Where you two staying?" Angel asked.

"Don't know yet. Some old factory I guess." Spike answered.

Tell them to stay at the mansion if they want. Angelus told his alter ego.

"Why don't you two stay at the mansion."

"We don't want to be in the way."

"Don't worry. We're not staying there anymore. We're in a house on South

Street." Buffy told them. "Stay at the mansion and you can come visit us in a few days so Dru can get to know her new brother and sister."

"Yay! Oh please Spiky, can we? Please." Dru pleaded with her lover.

"Sure thing love. Okay then good night you two. See you in a few days."

Buffy and Angel watched the two leave. When they were gone, Angel turned to Buffy.

"So what was that?" He asked his lover.

"What was what?"

Asking my childer to come and visit the kids? Angelus asked.

"Well, in some worlds they are family. And I want our kids to know they're family, no matter how dysfunctional it may be. Plus I know Spike and Dru would never hurt them. No matter how hungry they may get. I just have this feeling that Spike and Dru would do anything to keep Liam and Emily safe." She told her lovers.

"Plus I also know that if they were to ever try something, that they're fathers would kill them." Buffy answered smiling.

Damn straight.

"Well it's late, so sleep and tomorrow morning we'll go home okay love?" Angel said stroking Buffy blonde hair from her face.

"Angel? Can you lay with me?"

"Of course my love." He pulled the bassinette's closer and then laid down next to his love. "Good night" he said kissing the top of her head.

"Night."
