Chapter 2

Sunnydale 1998

The Scoobies, Angel, Giles and Miss Calender covered their eyes as the room glowed brightly; it radiated from the centre of the circle and as soon as it started the light vanished. Everyone in the library cautiously opened their eyes and they all widened as soon as they saw what was sitting in the centre. A little baby boy about 2 and half months old.

"Giles it's a baby." Buffy stated.

"Yes Buffy I can see that." Giles took of his glasses and cleaned them and then put them back on his face.

Angel kept his face neutral but inside he was confused, very confused. That baby smelt like him and Darla and a lot like Cordelia but he knew that wasn't possible maybe it was a trap. He looked over at Buffy maybe he should tell her. Buffy turned back to him and smiled at him, he could hear her heart speed up everytime she looked at him, he knew what effect he had on her. She made him nervous, he wanted to hold her, he wanted to claim and own her. Angel knew it was a lot to do with the demon inside of him and wished that he could talk to her about it but the vampire didn't want to scare the slayer, they never talked much anyway it was just about being together.

Cordelia walked up and stood beside Angel leaning forward and trying to look at the baby but not getting to close. "So should someone like pick it up?" The brunette asked.

All faces turned to her. "Well Cordelia, uhhh I think that might be a good idea." Giles said still not sure what he should do.

The baby was laying on its back and looked around the room started to cry, it screamed, its face going red. Miss Calendar picked him up but he wouldn't stop, she passed him to Giles who held the baby at arms length not sure what to do with it, next it was Xander's go, Connor stopped crying for just a moment, he looked into the teenager's face and spat up all over him. Everyone except Cordelia tried not to laugh, the may queen didn't even try to she was laughing so much tears were rolling down her cheeks.

Xander shoved the baby into the person next to him, which happened to be the vampire with a soul. Angel looked panicked but the baby stopped crying as he recognised the face he gurgled and reached towards the man with his chubby little arms. Angel looked around at the others surprise was evident on their faces. The vampire looked a little embarrassed as he shoved the baby into Cordelia's arms, but as the little time he held the baby he felt something indescribable. Cordelia had the same reaction as Angel, Connor was happy with her and Angel most of the others seemed to make him cry.

"Research?" Xander suddenly said, wanting to get away from the baby but first things first he wanted to go and clean himself up. All of the others walked away leaving Angel and Cordelia with the baby identical confusion covered their faces. Angel was about to walk away when Cordelia grabbed his arm.

"Oh no you don't. This baby likes the both of us you are not leaving me alone with it." She said her eyes narrowing as they looked at him.

"I uhh don't know anything about babies?" He told her quietly.

Cordelia looked at him in amazement. "You think I do?"

His shrugged his shoulders and they both looked down at Connor as he gurgled and reached out to both of them. Cordelia and Angel looked at each other with panic evident on their attractive faces.

While this was happening Buffy was looking at Angel thinking how good he looked with a baby in his arms, she could see herself with their baby, that was until she remembered he was a vampire and he could have babies. "So Cordelia are you going to let anyone hold the baby, you know everything doesn't have to be about you" she asked annoyed with the brunette who was standing far too close to her boyfriend.

"Oh…uh… sure" Cordelia said distractedly she was looking at the baby so she didn't even hear what ever Buffy had said.

Angel took the baby who made a little face as he was moved from the warm place he was but settled in a moment after been in his daddy's arms feeling the same comfort, feeling like it was home.

Buffy went over to stand by Angel and to take the little baby in her arms but as soon she was a foot away from the vampire Connor began to cry noisily. Buffy moved away as if she had been slapped, a shocked looked on her face not knowing what to do? Why did this baby seem to like Angel and Cordelia?

Angel and Cordelia both looked down at the baby and then at each other smiling at the other one just like parents would do. Everyone stared in amazement as they made faces and the baby seemed to be lapping it up he was giggling and spitting up at them and the may queen and the vampire could do the only thing they could they laughed.

LA Present

Angel stood there frozen still staring at the same spot where his son once was. The symbol seemed to be glaring back, teasing him, only giving them a small piece of information. The vampire turned and saw that Wes, Gunn and Fred had books out already searching for that symbol. He's Angel son but he was their nephew they were all family and they were going to get him back. A door slammed and everyone turned Cordy was no where to be seen but muffled sobs could be heard from the bathroom it was sobs of pain. Angel walked over and opened it gently not even bothering to knock first walking in he just wanted to see her, to hold her.

Angel took hold off her and he turned and stared into the deep hazel eyes of his best friend, the woman he loved and hoped that she loved him back and most importantly the mother too his child, their child. He could see the worry in her eyes, he could see the tears forming but Angel knew that she was trying to force them back to be strong.

Angel grabbed her hand and pulled her to him, he reached up his hand and gently stroked her cheek, feeling the softness beneath his hand. Cordy couldn't help it her head leaned into his touch. He reached up with his other hand wiping away a falling tear, he traced the tracks of the others until his fingers reached her chin. Her eyes never moved away from his, her breath caught in her throat. She licked her lips, wetting them, her nervousness starting to show.

Angel's eyes were drawn to her lips, he couldn't stop himself he was like a man dying of thirst and the only thing that would help him, that would keep him alive was a kiss from her. She closed her eyes as the two of them became closed and finally it happened they mouths touched, it was so gentle, so soft and delicate to start with but then the waiting, the need for each other consumed them, the kiss became powerful, erotic, they seemed to merge into one, the need for kissing each other became like the need for air for her and blood for him. They wanted to consume each other. Their hands roamed over each others bodies touch and feeling they could.

Suddenly Wesley through open the door, they jumped apart as if they had been scolded with fire, their eyes wide with shock. Wesley just smiled at them, it had been a long build up but hopefully they would admit too each other what they felt and would not run away again. They needed to face each other and be honest for a long time.

Sunnydale 1998

After researching and not getting about the baby Angel was holding at the moment the whole gang decided it was time to go home, but that led to another problem.

"Uh.. Who's going to keep the baby?" Giles asked, not wanting to have him.

"Giles! He's a baby not a book! No one has to 'keep' him we have to take care of him!" Cordelia said annoyed about the way Giles talked about the cute little baby.

"Then you can 'take care of the baby' yourself as seeing he only is quiet with you and Angel" Buffy said pettily.

"I was going to, you don't need to be so rude! I just need someone to go with me to my house, I don't have my car here today and I don't wanna be alone with the baby and it's night right now!"

"Oh don't expect me to go with you, he'll cry the whole time!" Buffy said annoyed that the preferred Cordelia to her.

All Cordelia could do was stare, as she rocked the baby gently from side to side.

"We should get you home." Angel said turning to Cordelia.

Cordelia held the baby close, protecting him from the chill. Angel and Cordelia left with the child not looking back and not acknowledging anyone. Angel was angry with Buffy for her attitude they couldn't help it if the baby preferred them to her, she had to grow up this was not about her and the slayer could not be the centre of attention all the time.

When they arrived at her front door, Cordelia removed her key from her trouser pocket, and unlocked it. She stepped inside and turned to face Angel, who just stood on the porch.

"You can come in." She said, as she walked further into the house.

"Are you sure your parents won't mind?" He asked before he moved he was always wary of going into a new house with out making sure that they understood, not that it would make any difference now, he had been invited and could come in whenever he wanted.

Cordelia was emotionally and to physically too tired to lie when she spoke. "They're not here."

"Oh, they're away for the weekend?" He had spent very little time with Cordelia Chase, but every time he did, he was sure that she was trying to hit on him. At least that's what Buffy had said. But tonight she seemed different, he had seen a different side to her. She was not the brash, I am the centre of the universe, she was caring about a baby, a baby that she had never seen before. He liked this side of her, but this child also brought out a different side of him as well. He looked back at her as she spoke again.

"Something like that. Are you coming in or not?" He stepped inside and closed the door behind him, following her into the open lounge.
