Chapter nine

The trip to Metropolis was good; Harry had been pretty good though he was still trying to sit in Andrew's lap, keeping he hand on him to keep Harry safe.

Chloe looked at Andrew and laughed, "You keep spoiling him, you know that?"

"It's not spoiling him," Andrew said with a pout, "He just likes being held, it's not like I'm letting him have sugar or ice cream all the time. He's just getting emotional love and support."

Harry looked up at Andrew and snuggled into his dad's arms, Andrew whispered, "I hope Buffy wants to be your god mother."

"So," Chloe said with a mock pout, "You didn't even consider me?" and laughed at Andrew's shocked expression.

"No," Andrew said, "You're like his auntie, hell; he thinks Mr and Mrs Kent are his grandparents."

"Please," Chloe said, "Mrs Kent has taken Harry to the Talon and told everyone that he's her grandson, that's where he gets that from."

Andrew giggled and said, "No way, really?"

"Yeah, it was really cute; Harry just sat there taking all of the attention, hell he was soaking it up," Chloe said, "Everyone kept telling her that he looks just like Clark."

"Really?" Andrew said as he picked Harry up, "I really can't see it."

Harry giggled as Andrew started to comb his hair, Andrew muttered, "I have no freaking idea how it does this I mean I comb and comb and it's always messy."

"It looks cute," Chloe said as she watched Andrew comb Harry's hair, trying to get it to look nice."

Andrew sighed as he finally gave up and said, "If I can, I'm going to make sure it's neat at least."

As they pulled into the parking lot of the Mall that Faith and Buffy wanted to meet them at Andrew thought that it was a smart idea of them, after all they didn't know if they could be trusted.

As they walked in Andrew was holding Harry, who looked around at the mall as daddy had never taken him to such a big place before.

"So where are your friends?" Chloe asked, "I mean it's been awhile, right?"

"Yeah but I'm sure things have changed a little," Andrew said, "I mean it's been at least eight months since I left."

Andrew sat down at the food court and was getting anxious; this is where Faith and Buffy wanted to meet them.

After a couple of minutes Andrew heard a loud, "Andrew!" He looked up and saw Buffy and he nearly fainted in shock as she had changed; she was pregnant.

Buffy walked up to him and said, "Yeah a bit of surprise isn't it?" As she rubbed her stomach she smiled and said, "You should've have seen Giles's reaction."

Andrew nodded and said, "I got a few surprises myself," and held Harry up and said, "This is my son, Harry."

"Oh god!" Buffy said, "He's so adorable!" as she picked him up and said, "Who's a cute lil baby?"

Harry reached out towards her necklace and attempted to pull on it while Andrew winced on how loud she was being as she tickled him.

"Anyways," Buffy said, "If you're wondering who the father is? It's Oz's baby."

"Never met him," Andrew said as he took Harry back from Buffy, only for Faith to pick him up.

"Oh, that's right," Buffy said, "You weren't there when he was with us: he's a werewolf and he's got control of it, but Giles and the others are panicking about what a half werewolf half slayer might be like."

"Sorry to hear that," Andrew said sadly, knowing how hard it might be.

"Yeah," Buffy said, "It's really annoying, trust me on that. And Angel and Spike both thought I'd choose one of them and a member of the old guard actually had the nerve to tell me that we had to abort it."

Chloe had been sitting with Andrew quietly and was wondering what the hell they were talking about and suddenly said, "Umm, what's a slayer?"

Buffy looked at Andrew and said, "You didn't tell her? I mean you guys went through all that trouble with the baby slayer, right?"

"She and my new friends didn't really want to know about my old life and I didn't want to scare them with anything," Andrew said softly, "And besides, for some reason, Metropolis and the town I'm living in have very little amount of demons in them."

Faith looked at Chloe and said, "I'll give her the pep talk as you two catch up," as she and Chloe walked away to go talk and get something to eat.

"Hmm, really?" Buffy said, "Then I might just have to move here as I really don't want vampires or demons near my child."

Harry looked at Buffy and said, "Daddy, why's she so big?"

"Oh," Buffy said, "It's because I'm going to be a mommy and my baby's still inside me."

Andrew looked horrified that Harry just asked that out of the blue and sighed with relief as Buffy answered.

"So," Andrew said, "Can you guys tell me what happened with Maria? I haven't heard from her in a while and I've been worried."

"Oh yeah," Buffy said, "It's been awhile for me too; all I know is that's she is with Xander in Africa but the last report is that those two and their group are doing well."

"But," Buffy said, "Now what about you? Tell me about Harry, where did he come from?"

Andrew told her the whole story and Buffy looked amazed, 'Anya was watching out for him?' and muttered, "Wonder if she's looking out for Xander or us?"

"So spill, why'd she give you Harry? I mean," Buffy said, "Not that I'm questioning why she did it."

"She just said that he needed someone like me and that I'd needed him too and she even warned me not to go to LA," Andrew said.

Buffy frowned and said, "Yeah, that was a big problem, I'm just glad Angel and them survived as it could've gone a lot worse. But I hear you're working for Queen Industries?"

"Yeah," Andrew said, "I'm Oliver Queen's personal assistant and it's a good job. Harry and I were in Star City for awhile until Mr Queen dragged us here."

Andrew froze and suddenly remembered something and said, "Umm, Buffy? I was wondering: would you like to be Harry's godmother? But if you don't want to be I'll understand."

"Yes!" Buffy squealed as she took Harry into a big hug, "Of course I'll be his godmother."

Harry hugged back, he liked the gold haired lady, she seemed nice as she continued to hug him and she said, "Perfect, who's the godfather?"

'Hmm,' Andrew thought to himself, 'I'm not sure really, I was thinking of asking one of my newer friends, Clark, to be his godfather.'

Faith and Chloe came back holding a huge tray of food, Chloe looked at Andrew and said, "Mystery man, you and I have to talk about your secrets."

"Oh, umm," Andrew said, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I just didn't want to burden you guys with the knowledge of the supernatural."

"Yeah," Faith said, "Sometimes people can't handle and go insane because they can't handle it."

Chloe smiled and said, "You guys don't know the stuff I've seen," and began to tell them about Smallville and what they had to go through for four years of high school.

"Great," Buffy said, "We fought demons and you guys fought against aliens and super powered humans, nice to know that we weren't the only ones with a crappy teenage experience."

"I actually wouldn't say it was crappy," Chloe said, "I mean sure it was hard but I learned so much."

Faith whispered something into Buffy's ear and Buffy nodded, "But anyways Andrew, down to business: one of the reasons of why we're here is that we found out that you didn't get the governmental compensation package."

"What package?" Andrew said confused, "I mean I heard something about that but that was only if you owed property, right?"

"No," Buffy said, "It was given to all of the survivors but anyways; I finally managed to get yours."

Andrew looked at the check she offered and nearly fainted; he had enough to send Harry to any school in the world and more than enough for himself. Chloe smiled and said, "Andrew, you're buying lattes from now on."

"And I came about the Slayers going missing, it is troubling and I am looking into it but it's hard as none of the families connected want to talk to me," Buffy said, "So I was hoping that we could work together?"

"Sure," Andrew said, "But we have to be careful; the people that I'm with don't like me going to Suicide Slum with me being a single father."

"Yeah, the Kent's are big on family," Chloe said and smiled at Andrew's nod.

"Hey Buffy," Andrew said, "You can come with me; I think I got an extra room and I'm sure Oz isn't around, he wouldn't want you to be in danger."

"No," Chloe said, "She can stay at my dad's place, he's gone for the weekend plus you can tell me all kinds of stories about Mystery man here."

Andrew looked red in the face, there were parts of his past he was ashamed of and he really didn't want to be judged by them anymore.

Faith shook her head and whispered, "Don't worry Andrew I know how it is to be judged, they won't be finding out from us. After all, B wouldn't go out of her way to rehash old mistakes."

Buffy smiled, "Sure, Faith and I could come for a visit and besides, I'm on leave because of my condition anyways."

Andrew smiled right back at her and she looked at Harry, who was staring at her belly in amazement, and said, "Yes, that's where my baby is."

Harry put his hand on her belly, looked at her and said, "Did you eat your baby?"

"Okay," Buffy said, "I'm betting daddy hasn't taught you about the bird and bees yet?"

"Not until he's at least fifteen!" Andrew said, horrified by the idea of telling Harry about sex.

Faith whispered, "I'll talk to him if you want," and laughed at Andrew's scowl and said, "Relax, just kidding."

"So," Andrew said, "When did you and this Oz guy start to date?"

"A couple of weeks before you left Andrew," Buffy said, "He showed up and Willow was happy to see him but Kennedy got all possessive and made sure that Willow hand almost no contact with Oz and he was pretty upset by something Kennedy said to him."

Faith shook her head and said, "Still don't know how you can tell? I mean he says like one syllable words."

Buffy smiled and said, "You have to really get close to him and then he gets talkative, he has lot to say when you listen to what he wants to speak about things."

"So," Andrew said, "When did you find out you were pregnant? I mean Mr Gilles always told me that Slayers couldn't have children and that Robin's mother was a special case."

"Yeah," that was the council's view too," Buffy said, "But it's just that no Slayer ever lived long enough to have children and Nikki wasn't a Slayer when she was pregnant."

Andrew smiled and picked Harry up when Buffy took him from Andrew and said, "Sorry, I want to get into practice holding my own child when it's born."

Harry struggled a bit as he wanted to be held by daddy, he managed to wriggle out of Buffy's grip and walked back to Andrew, who said, "Sorry, he likes being held but he only really likes me to hold him for a long time."

"So," Chloe said, "You guys want to help investigate the disappearances? That's great; I can take you to the families that were affected."

"You mean the ones that weren't killed?" Andrew said sadly, "And trust me; I know axe marks and sword marks when I see them."

Buffy sighed angrily; she was going to find out who was doing this and, uugh, she wasn't sure what she wanted to do right now: either kill them or knit them a sweater? She muttered, "Stupid hormones," as they were really making her life weird, other than the craving for pickles and fried bananas.

"Oh Chloe," Andrew said, "Clark wants to talk to me about something; maybe the Kent's want me to pay rent or something."

Chloe simply smiled and said, "It's a surprise," which caused both Andrew and Buffy to groan in mutual pain as they both hated surprises.

Buffy smiled slightly and whispered, "It'll be alright Andrew, I'm sure this surprise isn't the bad prize."

A/N: So what do you think of the pairing for Buffy/Oz? I've never done the pairing myself but I like them together and an additional pairing for Faith will be decided at a later date. Oz will be showing up soon in this story. Is there any other BTVS or Angel the series characters that you want to see appear in this story?

What do you think of Buffy being pregnant with Oz's child?
