"Angel," Buffy banged on his door. "I know you're in there and we need to talk."
Angel swung open the door and hugged her, "I knew you'd come back to me."
"I'm not coming back to you, I want to tell you what's been going on in my life since I left you." Buffy explained sitting down on the couch. "I got a school loan and I'm back in school with Willow and Tara."
"That's great. I always said you should go back to school after my art collection was finished. It's a little premature but, we'll work out the money issues later." Angel sat down next to her.
"And," Buffy continued as if Angel hadn't interrupted her, "I met a great guy who I love a lot and he saw us today and was extremely hurt. I need you to promise…" but just then the phone rang. Angel gave Buffy an apologetic look as he answered it.
"Angel, I think I'm pregnant," Darla blurted into the phone as a way of greeting.

"You're pregnant," Willow gasped at Buffy.
"Yeah, I know I should tell Angel first, but the doctor just told me this morning and I've been bursting to tell someone." Buffy smiled at her best friend.
"When I asked what was the real reason for coming over that didn't involve an earring. I wasn't expecting this." Willow sat down on the couch in shock. "So when are you going to tell Angel?"
"I'm going to call him at the bed and breakfast tonight." Buffy happily sat down next to her friend.

After Angel hung up the phone he made an excuse to go to the bathroom leaving Buffy staring at the phone. Who had called him that had shaken him so badly? With a determined look in her eye she found the phone's incoming call list and dialed the last phone number.
"Angel, why did you hang up on me when I told you I'm pregnant?" Darla yelled into the phone. "What's wrong with you?"
Buffy just hung up the phone when Angel returned to the room.
"Buffy, what" Angel asked as she started to head towards the door.
"Angel, have a nice life with Darla and your baby and stay the hell away from me." Buffy exclaimed as she slammed the door behind her.
