A/N: I know the thing Cordy did was bitchy but for the sake of my story she's not quite the girl she was on the actual Angel tv show. Also 'and italics together mean thoughts

The next morning came too quickly for our heroes. Buffy opened her eyes and for a second couldn't figure out who she was laying on. When she looked up however it all came back.

A smile was soon found on her lips. As she smiled Angel eyes began to flutter and the his eyes connected with hers.

"Hey, you." he said giving her a small smile.

"Hey." Buffy responded . She then looked over at the clock that read 10:23

"We should probably get up and face the fire." he said moving to get up

'It's now or never Summers' Buffy thought. She then said "Hey Angel can I ask you something that's been on my mind for a while now?"

"Of course you can." he said while looking over at her.

"Who's Conner's mom?" she asked looking into his eyes. He avoided he gaze.

"How do you know about Conner?" he asked sitting next to her again.

"Will. She said that he looks a lot like you even though for some reason he hated you."

"Why do you want to know?" he asks after a minute or two.

"Because I think I at least deserve to know since from the way you are talking you weren't planning on telling me." In her head she thought.'God you already know who why are you doing this to yourself?'

After a couple more minutes he gave her a straight up answer.

"Darla." he said still not looking into her eyes.

Even though a part of Buffy knew the truth her heart still broke.'I know I slept with Spike but at the same time I never had a kid with Spike.'

"Oh." She got off the bed and went to get clothes out of her closet. When she got there she grabbed clothes and said"Well, I have to get to work. See, you later."

"Buffy, wait!" his plea was ignored however because she went to go get ready.

Angel went downstairs and into the kitchen. When he got there he saw Dawn sitting at the island eating breakfast.

"Hey, Dawnie."he said sitting next to her.

"Hey Angel." she said not realizing she said it."Angel! Oh My God ! Hi how are you is there trouble?"she asked going from super happy to very serious.

"No, I'm just here to see my Summers girls." he said nudging her in the shoulder the hugging her. This caused her to blush.

"We both missed you so much. How's the fang gang?"

"They are good. I think" he said as an after thought.

Just then Buffy walked into the kitchen, freshly showered and dressed.

"Buffy! Guess who's here!" Dawn screamed jumping up and down

"I don't know. Angel maybe?" she said getting coffee. She had yet to look Angel in the eyes.

"Yep! He came to see his Summer's girls!"she said a huge smile on her face.

"What the hells goin on?" asked Spike as he entered the kitchen from the basement.

"Dawn's extra excited because Angel's here." said Buffy grabbing a packet of blood and putting it in the microwave.

"Yeah ,well she's always had a crush on the poufer. I miss the days when she had a crush on me." said Spike walking over to Buffy and kissing her on the crown of her head. The microwave beeped and Buffy grabbed a mug, and put the contents of the packet in it.

"Hey, I resent that!"said Dawn putting a pout on her lips.

"Dawn, you can't resent something that's true she said handing one mug to Spike then starting another packet and copied her other motions and set a mug in front of Angel. Still not looking in his eyes. Dawn just pouted put her bowl in the sink then left the room. Spike laughed.

"Your quiet peaches, cat got your tongue?"

"No, I just want you to leave so I can talk to Buffy." he said looking at Buffy the whole time. Spike looked at Buffy then Angel and walked out of the room.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Angel asked once Spike had left the room.

"I'm not." Buffy stated. She then began to do Dawn's dishes.

"Then why wont you look me in the eye?"

"I didn't notice ." she said once agian not looking him in the eye.

Angel got up and walked over behind Buffy. He then wrapped his arms around he waist and set his chin on the top of her head.

"Buffy, what's wrong. Is it the whole Darla thing?" he knew that from the fact that Buffy flinched when he said Darla , that was indeed the problem. "Buffy that was a dark time in my life. I only used her I remember you did the same thing with Spike." as so as he said it he regretted it. Buffy pulled away from him.

"Yeah, but at the same time I didn't go off and have a kid with Spike!" she yelled her anger rising."Willow told me everything so don't waste your lack of breathe trying to explain because I don't care anymore." with that she walked out of the kitchen and both of their hearts threatened to break.
