A/N: I just want to thank all my readers for putting up for the delays and for reviewing!! A special thanks to my beta, without you I would have the worst story. And one more thing before you read chapter 6 remember this is my first fic and I do hate the Buffy/Spike relationship and the almost Angel/Cordelia relationship and will bash the both of them whenever needed and want to. If you don't like it don't read it! But please do anyway. oh and by the way a fortnight is two weeks(14 days).and a final thing before you read on I am really sorry about the delay and future delays I am currently on vacation but still insist on hitting every computer I come in contact with to update my story.

"So what do you suggest Buffy? The fact of the matter is Slaying is just to damn dangerous for an unborn child, especially mine" Angel said sitting next to her trying to put reason in her head even though he knew it was her way or no way.

"Angel it is even more dangerous to have a cooped up slayer in the area. You know I can't not slay, I might as well not eat its part of my nature that can't be denied and even if I tried I'd eventually go crazy. And even if you try to stop me I'll just sneak out, climb out the widow if I have to, and slay probably hurting myself in the process. So either I slay and you help/protect me or I slay and fight alone and most likely get hurt your choice." Buffy said to him trying to get him to see that slaying is a part of her that can't be denied like her love for him.

"Fine, you win but you must have at least one escort at all times while slaying. I never want you alone" angel said standing up and grabbing Buffy's hand signifying the end of their little meeting.

"Now Angel I don't think that to be wi-"Giles started but was cut off by Angel glare.

"Giles you know as well as I do that Buffy, either way, will get what she wants. So let's let us compromise, I get what I want, her safety, and she gets what she wants, slaying. Overall it's a good deal so can we go we have shopping to do." Angel smiled as Buffy's face lit up at the thought of some real shopping with out the hassle of pesky limited funds.

"I suppose your right she is a bit hard headed when it comes to these things"

"Hey! I am in the room you know; in fact I'm standing right here." Buffy hit Giles causing him to cringe. "Sorry Giles, slayer strength got the best of me." Buffy giggled

He just smiled and walked out of the room, letting himself out and saying hello to the now full awake and fully hung-over Scooby gang. Willow was in the kitchen prepare breakfast and aspirin for the group who had stayed up until five that morning and then finally crashed and woke up just s few moments ago at dusk . Spike and Faith and Spike were on the couch on opposite ends obviously in a fight again and Xander was holding his head at the table while Oz happily chatted away fully immune to hangovers now being part of a band that drank just about every night.

"Good evening." Giles said passing by

"Ugh." They all said in unison and waved him out, too tired and hurting to even let him out or show him the door.

"Hey, where is Buffy? Isn't she like the queen of hangovers?" Spike said but then deeply regretted it when Faith gave him a punch in the arm intensifying his headache.

"You idiot, she's pregnant so she didn't drink. Instead she went to bed early along with Angel." Faith snapped obviously annoyed with him.

"Oh I bet they got less sleep then we did." Spike smirked

"Right, Buffy knows better than to let Angel get that happy. If she does that she'll let his demon out, then we are all dead." Xander said getting slightly angry at Spikes remarks.

"Wrong again Mr. Observant; Angel has his soul bound for good this time. Angle can get all warm and fuzzy inside forever with the slayer now. Now doesn't that make that grin disappear from your face rather quickly?" Spike laughed. But now Xander look as though he had-had a little part of him die and wanted to kill Spike for the loss.

"Now, now boys don't fight or patronize each other, Xander it's true what Spike said Angel's soul is bound and Buffy is finally happy so at least pretend to be happy for her please. She really is going through a rough time right now and I don't think she needs to look at your face and see disappointment while she's trying to save the world and raise her 'family' at the same time. So basically buck up or buck out buster." Willow said felling very motherly at the moment bringing her 'children' all coffee.

"Thanks Willow for the defending but I can do that now thank you." Buffy said entering the room looking very strong and ready to take on the world, only Angel noticed the hurt and wanting to be protected in her eyes. " Xander what I do in my free time or in my personal life is just that 'personal' so there fore you can just stay out of it. That goes for you too Spike so there." She paused to hold her head and to get a hold of herself for a moment. "All I need and want right now is a little piece and quiet so I can think so I'm going to go slay. Now if you all would just hold down the fort until-" But before she could finish everyone but Angel was in an uproar.

"You can't-"

"Not in that condition what about-"

"I'm sure Sunnydale can suffice with just us-"

"Hold it, hold it -hold it!" Angel said calling for their attention. "Now wait one moment, Giles and I have already had this argument with her and it fell on to deaf ears. We have already said that she may slay as long as she has an escort, tonight that would be me." Another burst of rage started but then died down to let him speak again. "Now it was either this or all of our lives you choose." He said smiling at the few whispers then a general consensus. "All right then we will be back soon and then go out for some fun at the bronze." He said guiding Buffy out the door.

"Thank you, but tell me how do you always know when to save me?" She said leaning on his shoulder while making their way to the cemetery.

"Oh you should know that one by now; you're my mate I know exactly where you are and what you are feeling at almost any moment of the day. I'm bound to you not only by love but also blood so therefore you are mine." He paused and smile at Buffy's cocked eyebrow then quickly added. "And I am yours" at that she smiled.

Two hours and a half dozen vampires later they were on their way home. They were bickering back and forth because Buffy had injured her ankle badly during the last battle and she was too stubborn to admit that she needed help and ended up almost knocked unconscious if it hadn't been for Angel.

"All I'm saying is that you need to be more careful especially now that you are pregnant and now don't only have to look out for yourself but now my child too. Buffy please just accept my help." He said pleadingly and holding her more tightly.

"Angel I had it covered! And I do look after 'us' very carefully I just slipped that's all." Buffy paused. "Our child is my top priority." But as soon as she said 'our child' she smiled and nearly laughed.

"I know I feel the same way." He said smiling and hugging her tightly afraid if he let go he'd lose her again. "It's still so unreal."

"Yeah it really undermines the reason you left huh?" Buffy giggled drawing small circles with her fingers on his shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah it does, doesn't it?" He said smiling he thought. Then his phone rang.

"What's that? Oh my god! Angel you have a cell phone. You really have upgraded since you have been in Sunnydale. Geez, you didn't even have a radio when you left." She giggled. "Well are you going to answer it?"

Angel just stared at her for a moment then realized his Buffy had told him something

"Angel?"

"Oh, yeah right." He said flipping open his phone the instantly regretted it.

"ANGEL, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED WE ARE YOU JUST LEFT WITH FAITH, OFF TO SAVE YOUR GIRL AGAIN HUH? WELL THEN I TRY TO CALL YOU AND YOU DON'T EVEN PICK UP! YOUR COMING HOME THIS MINUTE AND IF YOU DON'T ILL COME DOWN AND STAKE YOU MYSELF THEN BRING YOU BACK AND DRAG YOU BACK HERE TO YOUR HOME!!!" Cordelia screamed through the phone loud enough to make even Buffy laugh. Buffy then grabbed the phone out of Angel's hand and put it reluctantly to her ear.

"Uh, hello Cordelia. Yes fine thank you and you? Oh yeah well he has been slightly, um, busy. No he still has his soul. Yes he is staying. What, no, I didn't seduce him; no he is not coming back. Why did you say well because he is mine and I am his ect. ect. You want to know why well I just told you. Oh I see the real reason; well you'll have to come down to, as you say, Sunnyhell to find out. Well then you will remain clueless. Ok see you in three days then. Bye" Buffy said gave a small nervous laugh then hung up the phone "Geez, and you work with her on a daily basis. I am truly sorry."

"Well? What did she say and is she coming to kill me?" He asked following her.

"Well she offered but I told her that won't be necessary then told your not leaving and if she wanted to know why then she would have to get her butt down here." She said getting out her keys to open the door then paused for his next question she he would ask.

"So is she coming to Sunnydale?" He asked nervously

"Yes Queen C is coming home."
