Thanks for the great reviews, guys... And as for the Angel/Buffy thing, I kind of feel that Angel should be alone, you know.. at least until and if he becomes mortal again... But I'll try to incorporate scenes about their meeting and stuff like that... Thanks once again!!

Chapter 2

Piper and Paige were sitting in the living room, discussing about nutritious baby food for the little one when Chris orbed in and said, "This just in, guys. There's been an unusually high migration of demons into the city. Something's up. We need to find them. This could just be the event which turns Wyatt." Paige stood up and took charge, "Okay, we'll call Phoebe and start scrying for demon activities." Before Chris left the living room, he turned to Piper and said, "Mom.. I mean.. Piper, Maybe you would want to sit this one out. I don't want you to come to any harm." Piper smiled and Chris orbed out.

"Ok... scrying's not helping at all!" Phoebe exclaimed in exasperation. As she said that, the scryer fixated itself on one point of the map. "I think we just hit jackpot," Paige muttered. "Ok, quick Paige. Orb us there," Piper exclaimed. "Piper, you are not coming. Remember what Chris said? He want you to sit this one out," Paige scolded. "Since when does a mother have to listen to her son?" Piper asked, pointedly. Paige crossed her arms in defiance. "Fine! I'll just sit at home and let you guys have all the fun," Piper replied, pouting like a spoilt child. "Good!" Paige said before orbing Phoebe out. "Well, so much for being pregnant when I can't even get what I want!" Piper said, blaming the unfairness of it all, but she placed her right hand over her tummy and realized that she was better off at home where it was safe for baby Chris. Piper had always wanted a magic-free world and being pregnant pretty much fulfilled that but she also wished she could be more involved when her sister's were kicking demons' butts. She realized that magic will always be a part of her life, whether she wanted it or not.

Angel was sitting in his hotel room, provided by Wolfram & Hart, when his cell phone rang. "Hello," he answered. "We'll be right there," he said before rushing out of the room. He cornered Gunn, Fred, Wes, Lorne, Spike and Connor in the adjoining room and said, "I know where the demons are congregated. We need to go now. I'll take the sewers and you guys can take the car." Spike raised his eyebrow and said, "Well, I'll just take the car too and burn to bloody ashes then!" Angel noted his sarcasm and said, "Okay, so Spike and me will take the sewers and the rest of you take the car. Any other objections?" Angel directed his comment to Spike. When no one objected, Angel stated, "Let's get to work."

Buffy, Dawn and Willow had arrived in California well over two days ago. Things were going real fine. She managed to get a job, Dawn enrolled into high school and Willow's transfer was accepted. They even managed to rent a two-storey house. Things were going great at least until two demons crashed into their living room. "We're here for the witch!" one of them snarled. "You have to get through me first," Buffy challenged. "Slayer! Here? Kill her!" the demon ordered. Buffy grabbed her sword and cut off the head of the advancing demon. Green blood oozed down the neck of the fallen demon. The second demon roared in anger and ran towards Buffy, ready to tear her apart with his bare hands. Buffy managed to cart-wheel away from the demon. She faced his back and said, "How would you like die first, demon?!" The demon faced her and Buffy managed to cut off his hands. "I'll get you for this, Slayer! My friends at the Bar will kill you," the demon said before running out of the house. "Well, now I've seen everything!" Willow exclaimed. "A demon running about in day-light?" she questioned rhetorically. "There's only one demon bar in California," Dawn interrupted. "And how would you know that?!" Buffy scolded. "Hey, I prefer to play safe, ok. You know, in case any demon comes for the Slayer!... or the witch," Dawn argued, winking at Willow. "Ok fine, where is it? Let's just get this over and done with," Buffy sighed. Dawn smiled and said, "Finally!"

Paige orbed Phoebe into the bar. A second later, Chris orbed in with them. "What are you doing here?" Paige asked. "I couldn't leave my beloved aunts to fight off demons, could I? Especially now since you don't have the power of three," Chris said, eliciting a bout of 'awws' from Phoebe. "Well, I don't see anyone here. It's so empty. Where's the alcohol, tables and chairs?" Paige asked. It was true. The bar was indeed empty. It was like a big, bare hallway. They heard a crash, and looked up just in time to see a group of people enter through a door they had smashed. Well, not people exactly. There was that green demon with them. Phoebe sensed a vampire and shouted, "Vampire!" Paige reacted quickly and saw a stake in the hands of a tall, British-looking guy. "Stake," she called and it orbed into her hands. Chris flicked it towards the direction of the tall, dark-haired vampire. It hit him in the shoulder and the vampire yelled out in pain. "There are innocents among them. Get the green demon!" Phoebe shouted. Chris waved his right hand and the green demon flew back. Immediately, the humans formed a wall between them and the beasts. "What are you doing? Get out of here. It's dangerous!" Paige tried to explain to them. "They're our friends! They're not demons!" a tall, black guy shouted in response. "Wait! Listen to me. My name's Angel and sure, I'm a vampire but I have a soul," Angel shouted in desperation. A young boy with brown hair stood in front of the vampire and said, "We don't have time for this! We need to get rid of the demons." Paige stopped advancing at that point and said, "You're here for the demons too?" "Yes, this is my Dad and he's not evil!" the boy exclaimed. Suddenly, three young women entered the bar from the broken door and a blonde woman exclaimed, "What's going on here?" She stopped when her eyes fell on the vampire. The vampire looked at her in recognition before uttering, "Buffy?"

Ok, I know. Cliff-hanger!! I hate them too.. but I just can't go on! Writer's block. Will update tomorrow, I promise!
