I own none of the characters of Angel
Angel paced nervously in the room as they waited for the doctor to come in.
"Oh my God, will you sit down already?" Cordy asked
"I can't. I'm just too nervous."
"What the hell do you have to be nervous about? You're not the one who is going to be violated."
"Violated? Did you have a vision? Is there a demon coming?"
"For someone that is over 200 years old you can be dense as hell. Violate is the term that I like to use for the internal exam that I will get today."
"Internal exam?" Angel thought about it for a second. "Oh you mean internal exam." He said when it clicked in his brain what she was talking about.
"You are so stinking cute." She said giggling. "Come over here big boy and give me some sugar."
Angel willingly obliged. They continued kissing until they were interrupted by a discreet cough.
"I'm so sorry." Cordy said when they pulled apart.
"It's ok. I get it all the time. You must be Cordelia. I'm Dr. Webb." She said as she held out her hand for Cordy.
"Nice to meet you. This is my boyfriend and the father Angel." Angel also took the doctor's hand to shake it.
As the doctor began talking to Cordy about pregnancy stuff Angel let his thoughts wander. He was so happy that she was pregnant, but he had some fears that went right along with his happiness. He was scared that he wouldn't be good father. He was scared that his lifestyle would put the baby in danger. He was scared that since he was a vampire and Cordy was half demon, that their child wouldn't be human.
"Angel, what's wrong?" Cordy asked him after he had been tossing and turning in bed for over an hour.
"Nothing."
"Bullshit. Anytime you are worried about something, I suffer, because you spend all night tossing and turning. You have been in bed for over an hour, and guess who is tossing and turning? That's right bubba, you and now I can't sleep because of it and trust me I will get real pissy if I don' get my beauty sleep, so out with it."
"I'm fine." He replied staring at the ceiling. Cordy sighed and rolled over to look at Angel.
"Sweetie, something is going on. Tell me."
"I'm scared." He admitted
"Scared of what?" She asked him concerned. Angel never gets scared.
"The baby."
"You're scared of a baby?"
"No, I just... What if the baby isn't human?"
"When I had my "News Flash- Your Pregnant Vision" I saw myself holding a human baby."
"Really?"
"Really. What else is going on?"
"My life Cordy, It's dangerous. I don't know if I can protect this baby. Look at what happened to Connor. I can't go through that type of loss again."
"What happened with Connor was a unique situation. Wes took him to protect you and Connor. Eventually we would have figured out that the prophecy was bullshit and Wes would of returned Connor and we would of all lived happily ever after. We never would of lost him if Justine hadn't of slit his throat. "
"I know that but every time I look at him, I see all that I lost. All that we lost. I'm so scared of it happening again." Said a tearful Angel.
Cody sat up and took Angel's hand.
"Hey, look at me." He did as he was told. "Baby, you know me. You have seen me fight for things that I believe in. Do you really think that I will let anybody or anything hurt our child? I will fight to the death, preferably their death and not mine, but if necessary I will die to protect our baby. And let's not forget you. I know that you won't let anything happen to the baby. I feel sorry for anything, human or otherwise, that thinks that it can cross you. I have faith in you, in your ability to protect our child and your ability to be an amazing father. Now baby, you need to have faith in yourself."
"Angel. Angel. ANGEL" Cordy said as she slapped him on the back of the head bringing him out of his thoughts.
"Sorry." He mumbled.
"Listen, we're going to hear the heartbeat." She said as she took his hand.
They both sat anxiously listening. Suddenly the sound of a very steady and very fast heartbeat filled the room. The parents of that heartbeat smiled from ear to ear.
"Cordy, it's a heartbeat. It's our baby's heart and it's beating." Angel said as the tears rolled down his cheeks.
"I know Angel. It's a beautiful sound." Cordy replied, wiping away her own tears.

"Connor, can I come in?" Angel asked as he knocked on his bedroom door.
"Dad, what's up?" Connor asked as he opened the door.
"You in the mood for dinner? Cordy and I are heading out to grab a bite and we thought that you would want to join us."
"Wow. When did public places start serving blood?"
"Very funny. Ok, Cordy wants something to eat and she wants us to go with her."
"Man, she's got you wrapped around her little finger and you love it."
"Damn right kid. So are you coming?"
"You paying?" Angel rolled his eyes.
"Yes Connor. I'm paying."
"Cool. I'm in. I can always eat. I am a growing boy you know. Let me change and I'll be right down."
"He's coming." Angel said as he walked into his office.
"Great I'm starving."
"Cor, you just ate a bag of cookies an hour ago. How could you possibly be hungry?"
"Hello, pregnant woman, growing baby inside me that I must nourish."
Angel laughed and pulled Cordy into his arms and kissed her lovingly.
"God, you are so amazing." He mumbled as he kissed her neck.
"I know." She whispered as he moved his mouth up and down her neck.
"Oh for God's sake, get a room." Connor said from the doorway.
Angel and Cordy pulled apart laughing and the group headed out.
--
"Man, this food is awesome." Connor said as swallowed another bite of his pasta.
"I'm glad you like it." Cordy said as kicked Angel under the table.
"Ahhh." He gasped
"Dad are you ok?" Connor asked
"Oh yeah, I'm fine. Look, son, there is something that we need to talk to you about."
"Should I be worried?"
"No, nothing to worry about. It's actually a good thing"
"So what's up?"
"Well Cordy, and I…Cordy is… I'm going to…actually…Connor you're going…"
"Oh for God's sake Angel. I'm pregnant Connor." An exasperated Cordy said.
"Who is the father?"
"I am." Angel said quietly
"Ok, I may only be two years old, but I do know how babies are made. And for you two to make a baby that would mean that you guys would have had to…Oh God ewww."
"Hey." An insulted Cordy said and Connor ignored her.
"Dad I know that you love Cordy more than anything and because of that if you guys would of well you know and you achieved that moment of perfect happiness… Oh God, I can't believe that I thinking about this let alone talking about it… anyways, if that happened then you would of let Angelus out and I would have to run a stake through your heart and since your sitting here without a stake in your heart, then I obviously haven't seen any sign of Angelus which means that you didn't get happy and I am thoroughly confused." Connor stated confidently
"The Powers that Be offered me a potion that allowed me to, well you know, and when I uh…Angelus wouldn't surface."
"What the hell did you just say?" Connor asked as he looked at his father liked he lost his mind.
"Angel, you are pathetic." Cordy said laughing. "Here is the scoop, The PTB gave your dad a potion that allowed us to make love and not run the risk of releasing Angelus."
"Ok, and now you're pregnant." Cordy nodded.
"So what do you think?" Angel asked him nervously
"Well I am a little disappointed that I will no longer be the only anomaly of a vampire who fathered a child. Now I will have to share the title of freak child."
"So…" Angel asked anxiously
"I'm really happy for you guys. I think that it's great."
"Really?"
"Yep, really. Wow. I'm going to be a big brother." Connor said with a huge smile.
"How about a toast." Cordy said as she raised her glass. "To family."
"To family." Said father and son as they all clinked glasses.
