Chapter 4
I'm finally writing more! I know I promised you guys another chapter like a week ago, but I got busy, then I got a new computer for my birthday and all of my time has been going toward getting all my files transferred and everything. So now I'm writing the chapter I promised.
Thanks to everyone who has reviewed, it really helps me get motivated to write more.

Darla come out of the bathroom, dressed and ready for some answers.
"What happened?"
Angel looked up, "With Connor?"
"Yes, with Connor. Why isn't he a baby still? I mean, does he grow faster than normal kids? Is he done now? What-"
"Darla, he's normal. It wasn't anything like that. You remember Holtz was here, after us. Well, after Connor was born, instead of revenge killing, he chose a son for a son."
"What? Holtz did something to Connor?"
"No, not like you mean. He kidnapped Connor. Took him to another dimension, where he raised Connor. In their world it was eighteen years, here a few months. Connor found a way back and now he's home with us."
"Holtz raised our son?"
"Yes. And I don't really know what he told Connor about you, but he taught Connor to hate me. Told him all about Angelus and that I was still that monster."
"Oh, Angel, I-"
"Judging by the greeting you got downstairs I don't think you'll have that problem."
"Angel, I'm sorry."
"Me too. I'm sorry I let you down. I was supposed to protect him. He's my son."
"I know. And I don't have all the details yet," her voice changed to a little firmer tone, "but I will. But I don't blame you."
Angel looked at her in surprise. "Why?"
"Because you love him. I know you do and I know you would do anything to keep him safe. I'm sure you did all you could, and that's all I could ask from you."
"Thank you. I wish I could believe that."
"Maybe someday. Right now, I want to see my son and then I'm going to work on this father/son relationship the two of you have."
Angel smiled at her. "We also have a world to save."
"We will, darling boy, we will."
