A/N: Thank you all for the wonderful reviews and sorry it took so long to update, this chapter is for 'funfan1' who requested a chapter where Cordy spanks Connor, so here it is.

Warning: Spanking a minor

Chapter Three: 7 years old

Connor sighed as he reluctantly followed his Aunt Cordy around the mall, he was a little boy he had no interest in shopping at the mall, but Aunt Cordy had told his Daddy that he needed some new cloths and had been handed the little boy and his Father's credit card, much to her excitement, she may have changed some over the years, matured, but been handed someone else's credit card to shop was not something she'd ever stop enjoying.

Cordelia was having a ball, picking and choosing outfits for the adorable little boy she loved very much. He had his Dad's looks, the brow and eyes, but he had his Mother's blonde hair which he wore long, not too long, but long enough that the tips reach his shoulders.

Connor was bored, very, very bored he hated shopping when it didn't involve new toys for him, food shopping wasn't that bad, but clothes, clothes were the worst, he really hated it. Looking around Connor noticed that there was a toy-store just across from where they were now. His Aunt Cordy was so into the clothes she most likely wouldn't notice if he left.

He weighed his options, staying where he was and being bored or going to the toys and having fun? His seven year old instincts won out and he moved quickly, sneaking past his distracted Aunt, Connor made his way towards fun.

The seer was really into the shopping, she didn't notice the little boy had gone, that was until she turned to ask him if he like the Tee-shirt she had been considering for him. "Connor, what do you think of this one?" she asked, turning and expecting to see the little boy standing there.

"Dammit Connor, where are you?" she said aloud, she looked at the cart full of clothes, she had spent all this time picking, leaving now without paying wouldn't sit right with her, she could tell Connor wasn't in the same store and her instincts told her he wasn't in danger, for now that was.

She pushed the cart to the counter, the sales woman smiled at her, "these are some great choices" she cooed about the clothes as she rung them up, Cordy smiled, paid and thanked her, before grabbing her bags and head off in search of the little boy she was missing, an uneasy feeling settling it's self in her stomach.

Connor was having a blast playing with and looking at all the cool toys, he didn't even think about how worried Cordelia might be, or that he might be in trouble, all he was thinking only about the toys and fun, typical seven year old in that regard.

By the time Cordy found Connor, she had worked herself into a frenzy, she was worried, she didn't think someone had take the boy, no she had a pretty good idea that he had wondered off and it wouldn't be the first time, and she had doubts that it would be the last time.

Cordy marched right up to the little boy, who sat playing with racing cars, while she was worrying about him, which really pissed her off "Connor Angel, what do you think you're doing!" she demanded standing over the little boy, giving him her best Queen C glare, which was very intimidating.

"I just wanted to play Aunt Cordy" Connor said giving her his best puppy-dog-eyes, sadly for him she was immune "I don't care if you wanted to play, you don't go off without telling anyone, especially in a place like the mall" she scolded, frowning down at the little boy.

"But shopping is boring" he whined, not picking up on the anger that was directed towards him "boring, boring" she muttered to herself, he wasn't listening to her scolding at all, and she didn't like it at all, her instincts took over.

She pulled the boy up into a standing position and landed seven hard swats on his bottom SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK.

Connor was shocked, he was crying, it had hurt which he was surprised about, he's been spanked before by his Daddy and Uncle Spike but they were both vampires and you expected that to hurt, but not his Aunt Cordy, it shouldn't have hurt. But it was embarrassing too; she'd spanked him in the mall.

"Sorry Aunt Cordy, I didn't mean to worry you" he said, trying to stop the tears, "Oh Honey" she sighed pulling the little boy into her arms, feeling guilty "Come on Conn, let's get you that car and head home, your Daddy will be waiting" Connor smiled a little at the idea of getting a new toy, he could tell he was forgiven and he could forgive his Aunt Cordy, she was getting him a cool new car toy and to a seven year old, that was the best thing ever.

A/N: So what did you all think? Is there anyone else in particular you would like to see Connor interact with? Please review and let me know.
