Chapter 11: Unexpected

He was standing there, his arm around some young girls' waist. Angel led Faith into the elevator, she looked up at him and smiled. He lowered his head and kissed her lightly. She returned the kiss. They were on the top floor, it was vacant.

"Okay, why are we up here?" Faith asked.

"'Cause I wanted to get something," Angel said walking into his office, Faith followed him.

She looked around, Angel pulled a file out of his desk. He pulled a paper out of this file and laid it on the desk.

"Faith, I need you…to sign this," Angel said nervously. Faith walked over to the desk.

"What, uh, is it?" she asked.

"It's an adoption form," he said. She looked at him in shock, "you know, you'll be Connor's legal guardian."

She picked up a pen, "where do I sign?" she asked a little nervous.

"Here," Angel said pointing to a black line, he looked at her as she signed, "and here."

Faith signed everywhere she had to. "Is that all?" she asked.

"Yeah, all I have to do is bring these to town hall and get them legalized," he said putting the papers in his desk.

She looked at him and smiled, he walked around the desk and took her into a deep passionate kiss interrupted by a knock at the door. "Oh, damn it!" Faith said sarcastically.

Spike walked in with Fred on his arm. "What the bloody hell is goin' on here?" Spike asked slurring.

"You must excuse him, he's a little drunk," Fred said.

"Wow and it's only 11," Faith said sarcastically.

"Trust me ain't nothin' new," Fred said, making Spike sit on the couch. Faith looked at her raising an eyebrow, crossing her arms, and smiling, struggling to suppress laughter.

"Faith, right?" Fred asked.

"Yeah," Faith replied.

"So, you and Angel?" Fred asked.

"Yup," Faith said, "but how in the hell did you not know, I mean you are his friend right?"

"I'm usually in the dark," Fred said Spike tried to stand up, Fred got forceful and pushed him back onto the couch. "Stay!" she commanded.

"How long have you and…" Faith tried to think of his name.

"Spike?" Fred asked.

"Yeah, how long have you and Spike been together?" Faith asked.

"Hmm, about two years," she said.

Angel's cellphone rang, he answered it.

"Not bad," Faith said, "so you guys goin' strong, or are you free to date anyone?"

Spike tried to stand up again, "I said STAY!" Fred shouted as she pushed him back into the couch.

"Damn!" Faith said.

"Yeah, may seem funny, but I swear one of these days I'll get him to stop drinking," Fred said.

"How ya gonna do that? Withhold sex?" Faith said.

"Don't give her ideas!" Spike shouted.

"Oh, shut up you drunken bastard," Fred said sarcastically under her breath.

So what do you think? Please review. P.S. I know Fred's character is a little off in this chapter but I thought it would be funny if she was a domineer.
