Buffy was getting really sick of this; she was really bored and really needed to kill something. She had tried the whole 'regress in to your mind' thing for a full day and a half now but she just stopped after she realized why do it when they weren't even hurting you? So now she was basically playing mind videos in her head. Replaying over and over her full life in gruesome detail, every touch with Angel, every laugh with her friends, every cry over hardship and now she was done. her life was pretty short and definitely needed a sequel, maybe titled 'After the Death of Drusilla and Darla' yeah it had a nice ring to it. She knew she was being watched because she once said how hungry she was and a few moments later got a full seven course meal, which she first didn't want to eat but then realized it was the baby that was starving and she needed to feed it. Her thoughts were interrupted by that damn prick in her arm again, she hated that damn needle she found that came out of the wall every so often, and took her blood, enough of it in fact to all most make her pass out. They sure liked the blood of a slayer, a pregnant one at that. But the needle drew back early this time, and as it did the two biggest enemies of her existence came barging in to the room.

"Ok, time to move mommy we need to pack you up and go." Drusilla said grabbing some clothes and her favorite doll. "Daddy has come to town, and Darla says we have to leave." But then Drusilla was backhanded by Darla and fell to the floor.

"She doesn't need to know you fool. Now come on Slayer and stand while I de-latch your shackles from the wall." Darla said and she started to tap on the chains. Buffy thought to herself and then as soon as Darla was done made a break for it. She lunged forward and grabbed a sword that was hanging up on the wall and braced herself for an attack as Darla grabbed the second sword and started to attack.

"That wasn't smart now I won't be able to treat you so nice when I capture you again, maybe you will even need an emergency c-section." Darla said laughing at her and gave another swing and shuddered when the swords clashed.

"I mastered swordsmanship the first year as a Slayer; I seem to have the advantage." Buffy said smiling, even thought she was still shackled she seemed to have the upper hand in the fight.

"Please, I lived when swords were invented and the skill was perfected you child." Darla said giving a shill laugh and plunging at Buffy's impregnated belly only stopping mere centimeters from the target. Buffy countered it and lunged back at her and impaling her with the sword causing Darla to make an unneeded gasp. "You forget vampires don't die that way slayer, have you gotten that soft?" She said mere millimeters from Buffy's face. But with one fluid motion Buffy withdrew the sword and turned around and cut off Darla's head.

"Nope, just causing suspense for the final act." Buffy said then nearly fell to her knees, she could feel herself getting weaker but not quickly it was gradual, it could take weeks, days or even hours before she lost all her powers but she needed to move quickly if she wanted to get out of there. She ran down the corridors, arms and legs still heavily shackled, but she had no idea where she was going so she let her inner Slayer take over. A few moments later she was standing in front of the main door which was only guarded by one person, Cordelia.

(---------------------(

"We have been searching around for hours on foot going in no specific direction how do you know this is it." Faith said looking up at the castle style home in which Angel had made it clear that Buffy was being held hostage in.

"I can sense her anger in there, and I can smell her and the blood of others in there." He said not even looking at her.

"Has anyone ever told you how gross that is, I mean isn't that bad manners to 'smell' someone or something?" Faith said really disgusted. "So are we going in to save the day or what?" She said anxious to kick some butt after a long journey.

"Lead the way my lady." He said making a slight bow but Faith just laughed at him and ran up the walkway.

(--------------------------(

"You know what Cordelia don't even get out of the way I really have been looking forward to killing you ever since I realized you are the one who set up Darla and Drusilla to capture me so please stay where you are at so I ca..so I can.." But Buffy was feeling all weak again and felt like she needed to lie down.

"What Buffy aren't you feeling well? And here I thought 'oh my gosh Buffy Summers is going to beat me up'. Get her boys I need to go back to sleep." Cordelia said as she called out other vamps to collect Buffy.

"Oh I don't think so, I wouldn't touch her Angelus has marked her." Faith called from the door way at the other vampires who have now backed away from the fallen Buffy. Faith calmly walked over to Cordelia, kissed her cheek then twisted her neck, killing her in an instant. Angel the walked in giving a loud growl letting any straggling vamps to know that he was in charge now. As soon as he say Buffy lying on the floor, barley conscious he rushed over to her.

"Hey baby how was your visit to the spa?" He said smiling and at once she was alert and bright eyed just at the sound of his voice.

"Some spa the girls were mean and they tied me up with special chains and I cried to come home but they said no." She said playfully and showed him her constraints.

"Oh yeah I remember these Darla used to handcuff me in these when we, uh." He started but then looked at Buffy's surprise and 'oh really' look and decided to stop. "The trick is not to struggle and then have someone else do this." He said and then broke the chains. "They are designed to take away all power used to try to struggle to get them off, so as you struggle they actually get stronger." He said.

"Angel I don't want to know what or why or how these chains are or are used for ok, I just want to go home." She said lifting her head and kissing him with her now free hands. Angel gently picked her up and started for the door. "Come on Faith there are plenty of vampires in Sunnydale for you to brutally slay, but right now I want to go home" She said over Angel's shoulder.

"But, alright I suppose but I guess I did get to kill Cordelia!" She said gleefully

"Yeah that's right, wait you what?! Faith you can't just go around killing people, especially people I was supposed to kill. What have we talked about, remember, you need to share and let others play too." She said sounding like her mother. They all laughed on the way back to the portal and home.

"So this is that mate of yours Angelus, the slayer, I'm glad to see you were able to handle that dispute, I do hate jealous vampires and even worse, slayers" Flab then looked more closely at Buffy. "But wait Angelus you've got one that's tarnished she's pregnant."

"Flab is it, here is a little clue; I have only slept with Angel my entire existence, now put two and two together." Buffy said for Angel.

"Oh, oh wow Angelus you're going to be a father no wonder you wanted her back so bad, the royal family is having an heir to the throne. Impossible before but you two have broken all the rules why not this one." Flab said with a hearty chuckle and waved them out. "Bye Angelus, I'll be sending by my congratulations present for the new mate and family to your mansion on Crawford Street. I hope I never see you again old buddy." Flab said before they were practically thrown out.

As soon as Buffy had sat down in the car she passed out since it was the first time she had felt safe for days. It was noon when they arrive back home and Angel loved every second of being out in the sun and even twirled Buffy around in it too, even though she was still asleep.

"Your home and you found her! Is she ok, is the baby ok? I told you the spell would work Faith!" Willow said rushing to Angel's side. Angel decided to lay her on the couch so he would always keep a watch on her until she woke. But just the sight of her safe and sound made him realize he hadn't slept in about four days and he was really tired. So he snuggled behind Buffy and she instantly positioned herself so that she fit along the contours of his body, he held her tight and placed his hand on her stomach and her leg went in-between his and the fell asleep and stayed just like that the entire day into the night.

Buffy awoke some time around eleven that night only to see Angel staring at her with his loving eyes, she smiled then kissed him and only stopped when she really needed air.

"Mmm, it's good to be home and I really missed that." She said placing her head back on his chest.

"Oh, I don't want you ever doing that again, four nights without you by my side is just not healthy for me. The bed was all cold and your pillow isn't much of a substitute, not to mention the whole worrying if you'd ever come home thing, that sucked." He said playfully then kissed the top or her honey colored head.

"I'll make sure I remember that, but right now I just want to lay right here for a good long while with no disturbances." She said with a sigh. Then Giles walked in with Faith and Spike. "Oh, hello un-welcomed house crashing friends of mine what are you all up to?" She said making even Angel laugh as she sat up.

"Nice to see that your back and having full health Buffy but it seems one of our, ah, acquaintances, has returned from his out of the country trip and wishes to see you in, a what I think, is and effort to get back with you.

"Well Giles, who is it and just send him away, will you I just got back and want to be with my Angel tonight?" Buffy said running her hands through Angel's hair making him purr.

"Now you know I don't go away that easily Buffy." The man said from the doorway

"Ouch!" Angel yelped when Buffy and clutched his hair nearly making it fall out then let go making him growl at the loss of contact. He looked up to see Buffy's famous fake smile that her friends had told him she had been wearing ever since he had left.

"Riley, nice of you to just show up again after all this time." Buffy said a bit too nicely.

A/N: Is that too evil as to bring back Riley? Oh well guess I'm evil then and tell me should I keep him as an ally or should I send him away? I did hate the whole riley/Buffy relationship. Hmm what to do? Give me your opinion. Just know this I will not, I repeat will not split up angel and Buffy under no circumstances will I do that. So don't ask! They belong together and it was stupid of angel to leave so there! All right I am done with my blabbing and will right another chapter soon.
