Ok, here we go, ch4. So incase any of you have forgotten, I don't own Buffy, Angel or any if the characters associated with except the ones that I make up. By the way, sorry I haven't updated in a while, I just had my internet reconnected, it had been disconnected from two days after my last update on this story… sorry.

"Conner, are you gonna come and say, hi?" Angel asked his son after letting go of Dawn, or rather, after she let go of him.
Conner walked slowly over to his father and looked at him. He got straight away from the silent conversation they had that this girl was not a past lover. "Hi, dad." He said in his usual way.
"Dad?" repeated Dawn, confused, looking at Angel, then turned to Conner and said, "you're his…" her eyes were calculating his age from his looks, and then turned back to Angel and said, "But this doesn't add up, if he's your son, then you should have been raising him when you were in Sunnydale, but you didn't, and is he why you left, because I'm not exactly getting any of this, correct me please."
"I grew up in a hell dimension where time moves faster." Said Conner.
"Of which." Corrected Dawn.
"Huh?" replied a confused Conner.
"I grew up in a hell dimension of which time moves faster." Said Dawn.
"Your weird." Said Conner.
"You really shouldn't resort to childish accusations when you've been proven wrong, it won't do much for your intelligence." Said Dawn.
"Dad, what the hell is she saying?" said Conner to his smiling dad.
"She's saying you should act your age." Replied Angel. "Dawn would you like to get your stuff into your room?"
"Yes please, Angel." Said Dawn in her usual sweet way.
"Is that all you bought?" Angel asked, looking at her all of three bags.
"Yeah, unlike some people, I would like to pack light, and if I need something, I'll buy it then. I'm not Buffy." Said Dawn looking to the floor.
"I see your point." Said Angel looking at her upset face.
"Anyway, I only bought two suitcases full of clothes, the other one's full of all my books and posters." Blustered out Dawn.

A couple hours had pasted, Dawn was putting up her curtains after going shopping for some clothes after realizing that she really did need some more clothes to live.
She had just finished putting up the curtains when Angel appeared in the doorway. He didn't make a noise at all. He just watched to see if she were doing ok.
She went to her suitcase and pulled out an enormous "peace" poster and put it up high on the wall. He watched her but something caught his eye, as her shirt rose up because of her shoulders lifting, Angel saw her scars. He started to pray they were done from a demon and not herself.
"Dawn." He said and she jumped a mile.
"Angel, you shouldn't sneak up on the living. You could have given, me a heart attack… ok not a heart attack because I am way to young for that but you could have done something to me." Rambled Dawn.
"Where did you get those scars?"
She immediately held her arms together and turned away.
"What scars, I don't have any scars."
Angel became suspicious and grabbed her arms. He pulled up her sleeves and, with much protest from Dawn, saw more scars.
"What happened Dawn?" He was starting to worry for her.
"Umm… I went just a little crazy, when I found out I wasn't human."
"Your not human?"
"Buffy really doesn't talk to you much, does she? Well, I'm the key to every hell dimension in existence when everyone else knew, I didn't, so I snuck out, broke into Giles's shop, and read his journal. That's how I found out and I kind of, doubted my own existence and wanted to see if I could bleed, because I had fake memories of me bleeding, and I really wanted to see if I could."
Angel looked down at the bottom of her shirt. "Did you do those ones too?"
"No, a demon did, but he was disguised as I really nice old guy that helped me once. He wanted to open up the end of the world. And that's exactly what I did." Angel saw just one tear fall from her eyes as she quickly brushed it away.
"Anyway, I should finish unpacking." Said Dawn breaking the ten minute silence.
"Sure, I'll let you get to it. Oh, by the way, if you see a green demon with horns in an outrageous coloured suit, it's just Lorne, no one you should be scared of, ok?"
"Yeah, ok Angel." And with one of her girlish smiles at him, Angel turned to see Conner staring at him.

I have a question for you… who do you think is coming back, and who do you think is going to get together? I'll give you a hint, it won't be Dawn and Angel or Wesley and Fred.
