Disclaimer: If I owned them would I be sitting here writing this story about Buffy and Angel being together, when, if I owned them, they'd already be together, cause they're soul mates and Angel is so selfish for thinking his love is not enough for Buffy???? The answer would be no.

Dedication: To everyone who has made a contribution to the world!!

Summary: AU!! B/A!! What if Buffy is Angel's sire instead of Darla? She comes to Sunnydale to find Angel with a soul, a son, and helping the Slayer, while she is a soulless vampire! Can they ever be together?

Spoilers: Nothing I can think of.

Reviews: Yeah, or I'll die through lack of oxygen.

Darla shook her hair free of dust. She cocked her head as if listening very hard.

"Are you alright, miss?" A young man asked, touching her gently on the arm.

Darla smiled at him. "Now I am." She answered, diving for his neck.

Angel looked up as a female doctor came up to them.

The doctor smiled. "Hello, I'm Doctor Platte. Are any of you Faith Saunders family?"

Giles stood up. "Yes, I'm her Uncle."

Dr. Platte looked at him gravely. "May I speak to you in private, Mr. Saunders?"

Giles nodded, glanced at Angel and followed the Doctor to her office.

Angel ran a hand through his hair. He looked at Willow who was staring at him. "What's wrong?" He asked.

Willow squirmed in Oz's lap, under Angel's gaze. "Nothing!" She answered quickly, "Nothing's wrong!" She pretended to study a poster.

Angel narrowed his eyes. "Willow!" He warned, "What's going on?"

Willow smiled weakly. "Um, well, is anything interesting happening in your life? Any new loves? Any newcomers to the mansion?" She hinted.

Angel looked at her. "Willow, please tell me you didn't."

Oz rubbed Willow's thigh. "What did you do that Angel doesn't want you to tell him he did?"

They both frowned at him.

"Oh! Hey guys!" Xander gasped, running up next to them, followed closely by Anya.

Willow grinned brightly. "Hey Xand! Anya!" She greeted, glad she was saved form answering Angel's question.

"What's going on?" Anya asked, snuggling onto Xander's lap.

"I can answer that." Giles remarked, coming back from Dr. Platte's office. "It seems Faith's heart stopped beating for a few minutes, but they managed to get her back. She can go home in a couple of days, and isn't allowed visitors until tomorrow." Giles looked at the group. "Where are Cordelia, Doyle and Lorne?" He asked.

"Connor told us they'd be stopping off at the mansion in about." Xander checked his watch, ". 15 minutes."

Giles nodded. He looked around. "You lot go home and sleep." He instructed, "Come and meet at Angel's mansion tomorrow morning, around 11, ok?"

They all nodded.

Giles looked at Angel. "See you in the morning."

Cordelia opened the front door. "Hello?" She called, "Connor?"

A small, slender, pale figure with long dark blonde hair, dressed in a too large black silk shirt floated down the stairs.

Cordelia's eyes widened. "What the hell are you doing here?" She snapped, "Who let you in?'

The figure collapsed on the bottom step and started moaning softly.

Connor burst out of the kitchen. He sighed when he saw the collapsed figure. He glanced towards the doorway. "What did you do, Cordy?" He asked impatiently, leading the girl to the rug in front of the fire.

"Me!" Cordelia screeched, finally moving from the doorway to sit on the couch and let Doyle and Lorne in, "What did I do? What about you? What did you do? You let in a fucking vampire who could suck all our brains out!"

"We don't suck brains." Angel stated quietly from the doorway.

Doyle looked closely at the figure. "It's Buffy!" He exclaimed, flopping down next to Cordelia.

They all looked at him.

"He's been drinking." Lorne explained.

Buffy looked up. "Angel?" She breathed.

"I'm here baby." Angel answered, opening his arms, as Buffy ran towards him.

"She's just woken up." Connor told him.

Cordelia collapsed back onto the couch. She turned to Doyle. "Now look! Angel's calling his blood sucking Sire 'baby'!"

"May I remind you Cordelia, that I am her blood sucking Childe." Angel said harshly, closing the front door and sitting in an armchair, with Buffy curled up into his lap.

"Yeah, but, honey, you're souled." Cordelia snapped back, glaring at the yawning Buffy.

"So is she." Connor retorted, angry with Cordelia for being blind.

Doyle raised an eyebrow. "Is this true?" He asked, completely sober from the shock.

Angel nodded.

"You can tell it in her eyes." Lorne commented, "She has warm, frightened eyes, while the normal vampire would have cold, un-feeling eyes. How did she get a soul?"

Angel sighed. "Guys, can we talk about this tomorrow?"

Cordelia opened her mouth.

"Sure," Doyle answered, placing his hand firmly over Cordy's mouth.

"Just going." Lorne added pushing Cordelia and Doyle both out of the mansion.

Connor shook his head in disbelief, as Buffy removed her self from Angel's lap and kneeled on the sheepskin rug. "Cordy amazes me sometimes." Connor muttered.

Angel smiled slightly.

"She's back." Buffy said suddenly, rubbing her thin arms as if she was cold.

Angel frowned. "Who's back?"

Buffy laughed coldly. "You can't feel her?" She stood up and gazed at Connor. "Can you?"

Connor looked at her.

Buffy smiled mysteriously, took his wrist and traced the veins with one perfectly manicured nail.

Connor frowned and studied his hand.

"You should she's family."

"I am rather, aren't I?"

They turned to see Darla standing just outside the door.

"Darla." Buffy greeted gravely.

Darla smiled seductively at Angel. "Hey Angelus!"

Buffy growled.

"Oh, give it up, Childe! Angelus and me have something. We have a son! What do you have? Nothing!" Darla smiled genuinely at Connor. "Hey! I'm your mom!"

Connor held up a hand. "Hey." He greeted hesitantly.

Darla smiled at her Childe. "Let me in Buffy." She ordered, using her Sire voice.

"Darla, come in." Buffy gritted out between her teeth.

Darla stepped in and closed the door behind her. "Thank you Buffy."

Buffy smirked, changing into game-face. "Your welcome Darla."

Darla frowned. "Buffy? You've changed."

Buffy stood in front of her. "I've got a soul, Darla!"

Darla's eyes flashed gold. "Brilliant. So, I can get rid of you fro once and fall all now?"

Buffy snarled, brought her hand up and slapped Darla hard.

Darla was flung across the room, into the wall.

"Get out Darla." Buffy snapped.

Darla stood up embarrassed. She gazed at Buffy. "You will do as I say, Childe!" She ordered, using the Sire voice.

Buffy laughed. "I'm strong, Darla. Stronger than you. And once a Childe is stronger than their Sire that voice doesn't work anymore!"

Darla glanced at each of them. "What has become of my family?" She muttered.

Buffy smirked. "Apparently, the children are meant to end up like their parents!"

Darla scowled. "I'll get you later, Buffy." She threatened.

"I'll be waiting."
