Chapter 23: A Slap In The Face By Reality
Monday morning they got ready for work together like they normally did but Angel watched Buffy closely. She was acting normal, he thought she would be a little more upset or emotional… something. He didn't think being pregnant was something a girl could easily forget.
She left Angel's room to go into her room. Sitting down on her vanity that she not to long ago she brushed her hair and started to do her make up. Angel leaned behind her, snaking his arms around her waist. "Don't forget to call the doctor."
Buffy gave him a small smile. "I wont."
"You wont forget or you wont call?" He smiled against her neck.
Buffy looked at Angel threw the mirror. "I'll call."
Buffy turned around and kissed Angel. "I hope so, baby." He whispered against her lips and then kissed her again.
Once Buffy had some down time at work she called the doctors office but no one answered. She made a few more phone calls for Keith and tried the doctors office again. The line was busy.
"This doctors office needs to get some better employees. Ones that know how to answer phones." She said to her self. She would give it a few more minutes and try calling again. Angel must really want her to make the appointment since he reminded her this morning when they were getting ready and then again when he dropped her off at work.
Buffy sighed and picked up the phone again, dialing the number. After three rings she was about to hang out thinking no one would answer. "Southeast Medical. OB-GYN department." A woman said in a professional voice.
'I guess the third time really is a charm.' she thought. "Hi, I am wondering if I can get an appointment for a pregnancy test?" She told the woman.
"Lets see what I have open." The woman replied. After a moment she spoke into the phone. "Ma'am? It looks like our first open appointment time is in two week."
'Two weeks! Are you kidding me! What if I'm already showing by then? … Well I guess I wouldn't need to take the test then.' She thought to herself. Angel really seemed to want her to go though. "What time?"
"Tuesday morning. 10:00AM." She spoke into the phone.
Buffy nodded. "OK. That's fine."
Buffy heard the woman clicking the mouse on her computer. "Already, Sweetie. Just let me get some information from you first. Have you ever been here before?"
"Yes. I go there for my check ups." She answered.
The woman clicked the mouse again. "And what is your name sweetie?"
"Buffy Summers."
After a second the woman said. "Buffy Anne Summers?"
"Yes." Buffy answered.
"Lets just make sure I have the right Buffy Summers." The woman told her. 'How many Buffy Summers are there? How many Buffy's are there?' she asked herself.
"Date of Birth?"
"January 21st, 1981." Buffy told her.
"Address?" The receptionist asked Buffy.
"I recently moved but my address that you have on file is 1630 Revello Drive, Sunnydale.." Buffy told her.
The receptionist clicked on something else and asked "What's your new address?"
"1155 Gateway Avenue." She said as the woman began typing.
The woman clicked her mouse one more time. "Alright, that's all I need for now. Make sure to bring any information with you, like any change in insurance. If a earlier appointment opens up we will give you a call. If not, see you in 2 weeks Ms. Summers."
"Thank you." Buffy said hanging up the phone.
On Angel's lunch break he text Buffy. It took him most of his lunch break to figure it out but he finally hit send.
"Hey Baby. Did you make the appointment?" His text said.
Buffy sent a reply back. "Yeah, all set. Gotta meet with a client. Talk to you later."
Angel set his phone down on the table. Maybe she wasn't as okay with it as he thought. She normally talked to him more when they text. Unless she really had a client.
That afternoon when Angel got out of work at 5:00, he was going to go pick Buffy up from work. He didn't want her walking home, he had become more protective since he found out she was pregnant. Angel saw the light on his phone flashing so he unlocked his phone and typed in his password 'Buffy' and saw that he had a text message from Buffy.
He opened the text and read "Working late. See you at home."
He text her back asking her if she needed a ride when she got out of work later. A minute after he send it she had replied. "Thanks but V's got it covered." Angel felt better knowing that she wasn't going to be walking and he drove home.
A little after 7:00 Buffy walked in the door while Angel was cleaning up dinner. She tossed a bag of fast food on the table throwing herself into the kitchen chair. "Hey." She said opening the bag.
"Hey baby." He said kissing her "There is still dinner left if you want…"
Buffy scrunched up her nose and shook her head. "No, thanks. I was having a craving."
Buffy bit into a fry as Angel was going to ask about her doctors appointment that she called to schedule but she beat him to it. "The doctor couldn't get me in for 2 weeks."
Angel sat down across the table from her. "2 weeks?" He said confused. "Isn't that a long time?"
Buffy put some more fries in her mouth. "That's what I thought but the woman said it was the first appointment they have available and if someone cancels then they will call me."
Angel watched Buffy as she unwrapped her burger. "Cant you go somewhere else?"
She swallowed her bite of burger and said. "I would rather go to my own doctor."
"Two weeks seems like a long time though, Baby." he said watching her.
"I know." She replied wiping her hands on a napkin and reaching into her purse pulling out a book. "Check out what Veronica picked up for me." She tossed in towards Angel on the table.
"Drivers guide, huh?" He picked it up and smiled. "Are you planning on going for the test?"
"At some point." She said eating another fry. "They wouldn't let me take the written test in high school because I scored do bad in Drivers Ed but I think I did a lot better with you. Maybe its just the teacher." She smiled.
Angel nodded. "You did do really good."
"So, I was thinking… study a little this week sometime and then go for my learners. Veronica said when I get my license I can have her old car. She made a deal with me a while ago that I could have it because Riley said he was going to teach me how to drive but he backed out. He was all talk… on everything actually." She rambled.
Later that night Buffy and Angel were laying in his bed after they had made love. He was looking down at her who had her eyes closed, his head propped up resting on his palm, lighting running his other hand up and down Buffy's thigh that was sticking out of the sheet.
"You know, I was thinking." He said watching a small smile spread across Buffy's face.
"Uh oh." Buffy joked opening her eyes.
Angel smiled. "Your in my room most of the time anyway. Why don't we just move all your stuff in here and we can change your room into a nursery."
Buffy lifter her head up slightly, shocked. "Really?"
"Yeah. Why not? I mean, the baby needs a room and I like you in here with me." He told her.
Buffy lowered her head again, laying against the pillow. "but the baby wont be here for a while and I think I remember my mom keeping my sister in the bedroom with my parents for a few months until she slept threw the nigh." Buffy glanced down so she wasn't looking him directly in the face. "And by that time you will be gone anyway."
Angel looked past Buffy at the window. "So that's a no then?"
Buffy looked up at him but he still wasn't looking at her. "I can move my stuff in here if you want but I don't see the point in making a nursery just yet."
"Right. Yeah, your right." He said glancing down at her. "I'm just getting a little ahead of myself."
"Do you still want me to move my stuff in here?" She asked him in a quiet voice.
Angel nodded. "Yeah, if you want to."
The next day on his lunch break Angel drove to Mar Investigations to see Buffy. He walked in and found her sitting at the front desk hanging up the phone. She turned towards another door that was to her left and raised her voice. "The Milton Case is back on. She just called. Her husband is back to his old tricks. Took all of 4 days!"
Buffy glanced up and saw Angel. "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"I'm on my lunch break. I was wondering if you wanted to get something to eat." He explained.
Buffy gave him a slightly confused look. "You couldn't have called?" She asked, he looked down at the floor. "I'm sorry, I would love to get something to eat with you… but do you have time?"
Angel looked back up at her and nodded. "I have another hour."
A bald man walked out of the door in the direction Buffy had been talking in, he was the man from that walked into the house with the FBI when Angel had saved Buffy. "Hi. You must be Angelus. I'm Keith Mars." The man introduced himself holding his hand out.
"Yes. Its nice to meet you officially, Sir." Angel replied shaking his hand.
Keith smiled at Angel. "Wow, you really are Military." He turned to Buffy "I like him better then Riley. Go to lunch!"
"You don't even know him. You like Logan better then Riley and you forbid me to date Logan… and then you forbid Veronica to date Logan." Buffy smiled.
Keith looked seriously at Buffy. "Did that stop you girls from dating him?" He said shaking his head. "I should think not!"
Buffy looked at Keith like a young child being scolded. "But now you like Logan."
"Only because he proved to me time and time again that he isn't like his dad and that persona he had in high school wasn't the real him. He showed me that weather he is with you or Veronica he can take care of you, he does what he had to do to protect you when the time calls for it." Keith told Buffy in a gentle voice.
Angel watched the interaction between Buffy and Keith Mars. It didn't seem like a employee employer relationship. They were close, he could see that.
Buffy gave Keith a small smile. "Yeah and way back when Mom liked Riley… I think part of her still does."
A huge smile spread across Keith's face. "Well no offence Princess, but your mom is strange and deranged!" Hold his arms out in an overly dramatic way.
Buffy burst out laughing and hugged Keith. "She is very hard to win over." Buffy said.
Keith pulled Buffy arms length away from him. "Believe me, I know and somehow Captain Cardboard pulled it off?" He said baffled.
Buffy laughed again. "I love you."
Keith hugged her again, kissing her forehead. "I love you too, Kid. Now go out to lunch with your boyfriend!"
Buffy grabbed her purse, smiling at Keith and took Angel by the hand.
When they were outside the office, in the hallway Angel stopped Buffy. "He really cares about you."
Buffy looked back towards the closed door that said MARS INVESTIGATIONS on the door and smiled. "I know. The feeling is mutual." Buffy stood on her tip toes and kissed Angel lightly on the lips. "Where do you want to go to eat?"
"Want to go on Base?" He asked her.
"Do you have time for that? I mean you drove all the way here to get me, then drive back there and then I have to get back here." She asked.
Angel smiled kissing her again. "Yeah, it will be fine."
For lunch Buffy and Angel went to a popular restaurant on Base called Smash Burger. Buffy had never heard of it before and wondered if it was only on Army Bases or maybe just this Army Base. It wasn't like fast food. This was a sit down and wait for your food to be brought to you kind of place. You ordered and paid at the register but they gave you a number and you sat down and they brought you the food. Buffy ordered a cheeseburger with extra cheese, Angel got the BBQ Bacon and Cheese burger. Buffy watched Angel bit into his burger, he didn't normally eat like this. He was healthier then that and she didn't think the breaded onions on the burger made it any healthier.
Angel saw Buffy watching him. "What?"
"Nothing." She said shaking her head.
Angel nodded biting into a few fries. "I know, I'm not normally like this but… Smash Burger is my weakness." He whispered causing Buffy to smile.
Angel took another bit of his unhealthy but so yummy burger. "I thought maybe you would like to hang out with some of the other soldiers girlfriends or wives… one of my friends has a few kids and well since we are going to have one, I thought maybe you would want to get to know her. Spend some time with her kids."
"In what spare time?" Buffy asked him eating a fry.
Angel was now already almost finished with his burger. "I know you are busy but just whenever you can. It would really mean a lot to me."
Buffy looked from her food up to Angel's beautiful face. "Fine. For you."
Angel drove Buffy back to work, they got there fast so he could make it back to work before his break ended but he got distracted by Buffy kisses. That's where they were now. Standing in the hallway in front of the Mars Investigations door. Angel had Buffy's back pushed against the wall as he kissed her. He had just planned for it to be a short kiss but it quickly became hot and heavy. They were kissing feverishly, breathing heavy, hands roaming. Angel pulled away from Buffy, they were both gasping for air.
"What? What's wrong?" Buffy asked trying to catch her breath.
Angel looked over at her. "I have to get back to work." he said rushing at her, pinning her against the wall again to kiss her. His hand wondered down her body, slipping up her short skirt he began rubbing her sex threw her panties. "I really have to go now." He said watching her pleasure show on her face.
Buffy threw her head back against the wall opening her mouth. "Oh god, Angel." She moaned riding his hand.
He kissed her neck and she rocked her hips against his hand, she was gasping in pleasure. Angel heard the noise of a door shutting a pulled away from Buffy. "Angel." She cried from the lose of contact. Angel looked down the hallway but didn't see anyone.
He turned back to her. "I really have to go Baby. But I promise we will continue this tonight." He kissed her a few more times, then walked down the hall to leave the building.
Buffy stood outside the door for a few minutes trying to catch her breath and collect herself before she walked into the office.
Later that night Buffy got home as fast as she could, she wanted to see Angel and pick up where they left of earlier. She quickly opened the door and shut it behind her, she saw Angel sitting on the couch. She dropped her bag and before Angel could even say anything she climbed into his lap, straddling his hips. "Hey Sexy." She greeted him right before she hungrily ate at his lips. He kissed her back with just as much force, his hands going to her hips and inching up her shirt. He could already feel all the blood in his body rushing to his penis.
Buffy thought she heard a noise close by but with Angel's hands on her she didn't know for sure and didn't want to stop what they were doing long enough to look. The she heard something again. She looked over towards the hallway to the kitchen and saw a skinny brunette standing there looking shy. Buffy finally broke the kiss and pulled away from Angel. She sat back on his thighs looking from the girl to Angel back to the girl again. "Oh." was all that came out of her mouth. Angel looked over at the girl in the hallway, his head fell backwards and he screwed his eyes shut trying to focus on anything but Buffy sitting on his lap. He wanted to will his now forming hard on away. He could tell the wheels were turning in Buffy's pretty little head and the other girl had yet to say anything.
Trying to focus Angel lifted his head back up. "Baby, this is… help me out here…" He said snapping his fingers as Gunn walked out of the kitchen.
"Nah man, your on your own." Gunn laughed putting his arm around the small girls shoulders.
".. This is.. Gunn's! Gunn's girlfriend Fred!" he finally got out.
"Oh! Why didn't you just say that." Buffy said in a better mood now, about to get off of Angel's lap to shake the girls hand but Angel grabbed her by the hips and pulled her closer. Buffy gave him a questioning look when he started to shake his head at her. The message began very clear when to her when she shifted a little and felt his manhood against her inner thigh. She smiled at Angel.
Buffy held her hand out to who she now knew was Fred. "Hi, I'm Buffy."
"Oh! I know who you are!" Fred told Buffy in her excited Texas accent. "The guys talk about you all the time."
"Why didn't you just tell me who you were?" Buffy asked shaking Fred's hand.
Fred smiled as Gunn sat in the chair near the couch and she sat in his lap. "I just had to let Angelus sweat it out a little. Its more fun that way."
Buffy turned in Angel's lap so she was sitting to face them. Angel flinched a little when Buffy moved against him. She smiled when she felt his manhood against her ass. 'Didn't take much to get him going.' She thought.
"S Fred." Buffy started. "I have been living here for a little over a month now, and I haven't met you before."
Fred got excited again, or maybe her excitement never ended from before. 'Is this just her overly bubbly personality?' Buffy wondered. "Well, first I was visiting my parents in Texas, that's where I'm from." Buffy nodded at Fred, like she couldn't tell she was from Texas. "And then I had to work a lot. I work at the college as a researcher!"
Boy she really loved her job. Buffy began to slowly rotate her hips just enough so no one could see her. Angel squeezed his eyes shut. 'She's going to kill me!' Angel thought when Buffy didn't stop moving her hips.
They all sat there talking for another 20 minutes, Buffy then excused herself and Angel saying she just remembered she needed to talk to him about something in private. Gunn smiled as they got up and Angel tried to stick as close to Buffy as he could. Trying to hide the bulge in his pants.
Buffy and Angel hurried upstairs, once they were in his room he slammed the door. "Do you have any idea…" Angel raised his voice but was cut off when Buffy gave him a slightly forceful shove and he landed on the bed. She claimed on top of him, straddling him and putting her hands on the bed on both side of his head.
"You left me hot for you for HOURS! I just took pity on you because I couldn't handle it anymore. I gave in, but just remember pay backs a bitch! Now, fuck me!" She said in a angry tone.
Angel flipped them over so he was on top. Grinding his manhood into her sex. She hooked her leg over his hip pushing him into her harder. He grabbed behind her knee, pushing her leg up higher still grinding into her. He gently brought his hand up her leg and under her skirt, squeezing her ass. She moaned as she pulled his shirt over his head and went straight for his pants. Angel yanked her shirt over her head. "You think I haven't been thinking about this all day? Thinking about you?" He asked her. Buffy undid his pants, pushed them down his legs and he kicked them off, next were his boxers.
"Forget the foreplay." She whispered.
Buffy got a condom out of the night stand and pumped his cock a few times, giving him a 'shut up' look. And he ripped her panties off leaving her skirt, Buffy heard her panties tear. She rolled the condom onto the tip of his penis, when it was fully on he slammed into her. "Your all I think about!" He grunted loudly. Pumping into quickly when she speed up the movements of her hips.
Buffy got a look in her eye that Angel had never seen before, she grabbed his shoulders and flipped them so she was on top. "If you wanted to be on top, all you had to do was ask." He smiled.
She pumped her body up and down onto his manhood. "I wanna be on top." She told him. Buffy slammed down on him making him groan. She leaned back putting her hands on his thighs as she road him.
"That's it Baby, ride me." He purred
"Like a rodeo." She smirked suggestively, letting her head fall back and her hair tickle her back.
Angel sat up, putting his hands on her back pulling her closer to him to suck on of her nipples into his mouth. She grabbed the back of his head with her left hand pushing him into her breast while the other hand punched her right nipple. "Mmm, fuck. Suck my tit, Angel." He smiled against her breast, at how she became almost a completely different person when she was turned on. Angel bit her nipple and tugged on her causing Buffy to hiss in pleasure, she covered her right breast with her hand and squeezed. Angel pumped up into her harder. It must not have been hard enough because she pushed Angel back onto the bed right as he bit on her nipple again, the force of falling backwards while he was biting on her nipple pulled at her nipple hard and she hissed. "Fuck yes!" She looked down at Angel with a devilish look, placing her hands on his chest she kept jumping up and down on his cock. 'She looks so damn sexy right now!' He thought.
She was rocking her body so hard against Angel's that her breast began to bounce at a stunning force, Angel looked up at her smiling as the bed hit the wall with a loud bang every time. Buffy was getting close to falling over the ledge, her breathing became uneven and she pumped down onto Angel faster. He pumped into her faster as well, he knew she was about to cum, he had been with her enough times to know. He was close too, he felt Buffy's inner walls clenching his cock. He rolled his eyes back into his head as he felt her come and she yelled out his name. He wasn't far behind her. Buffy clasped on top of Angel, both trying to catch their breathe. "Sorry." She whispered into his chest and then kissing it.
"Don't be sorry, Baby. That was AMAZING! I have never seen you take control like that. Its hot." He told her.
Buffy looked up at him and bit her lip. "I have never taken control like that before."
Buffy rolled off of Angel, slipping his now limp penis out of her and laid down on her side facing him. Looking into his sweet caring face she felt loved. "I…" Buffy stopped herself. She couldn't tell him she loved him no matter how she felt. He was just going to have to leave in a few months and she would be alone again. To bad it was already to late.
"You what, Baby?" Angel asked rubbing her arm.
Buffy closed her eyes. "Nothing.
