"Wow? That's all you're gonna say, pet?" Spike asked surprise.
"Humpf.." Buffy manage to murmur, still looking at them both.
"I think she's catatonic…" Dawn said, coming in front of her and waving her hand on her face, scared she grabbed Buffy by the arms and shook her, which called Buffy's attention.
"Dawn?" She finally asked. "Great, just you.. I just had the most unlikely awake dream ever." Relieve she hugged her sister.
"It wasn't a dream slayer. I'm here, Squirt is here, peaches and little poof are there, so yay, not a dream, luv." Spike cockiness was so unnerving sometimes that she wishes she could just punch him for the greater good.
She trembled under her sister touch and suddenly looked at them again.
"Fuckin' kicking me, right?" She yelled. "No way.. I can't have children, you can't be mine.." Her voice raised "Even if was one my biggest desires.. I just can't…" Her voice becoming a whisper, Dawn trying her best to soothe her.
"Má…" Connor called softly. "Please you gotta hear me, me and Dawn, we are yours, I swear" Connor said ever so calmly.
Buffy touched her sisters face then looked at Connor holding back the tears, it was never enough; did they have to break her over and over again? How could they show her the life she could had have with Angel, with their kids, if he wasn't so damn noble and throw this at her? Quietly she told what she had discovered a little after she had came back. "I can't be, because it's impossible." She breather before saying "I'm infertile.. more like I became infertile after some battles… I discovered it about a year ago…" The tears finally streaming down her face.
"Baby…" Angel said, Dawn moved so he could envelop her into a comfortable hug.
"So is not possible…" She whispered in his arms.
"Is very possible. They were created in a moment of so much love and passion Buffy.. I have so much to tell you." He whispered back. "Come on, let's take a walk."
After he had discover the truth, Angel gave a lot of thinking; Dawn was older, her conception was definitely the first time they had made love, when Angelus was released, when she was only seventeen years old. So young. He could understand why the Oracles thought it was better to keep their child hidden.
But Connor, he was made by two human beings completely in love for each other. He could remember as it was today, she had entered his office fuming, heartbroken and full of love, screaming and mocking him, than the Morah demon, the hunting, the blood mixing and the best day of his life.
They were almost in the cemetery, how cliché. He turned to look at her beautiful face, tears still lingering on both cheeks, with his thumb he cleaned and caressed her face, kissing both cheeks and her cute little nose; she breathed melting him his embrace.
"I know" She mumbled "About the forgotten day, Angel. I know." He lifted her chin to meet her eyes so stunned to hear it "I never forgot, I promised you I wouldn't. Coming out of that office was the hardest thing I have ever done." A tear fell from her hazel eyes.
"Oh baby, I'm so sorry.. I should have known.." He said hugging her tightly and smelling her hair.
"We could have had everything Angel, you, me and the kids." She murmured. "God we are so dysfunctional." She laughed. "My sis, I mean my daughter is with her brother and uncle having a major attack of nerves I'm sure and we are here, just you and me."
"Don't worry" He said kissing her head. And they resume walking home again. After some minutes, Buffy broke the silence treat.
"Still, is not like we can be together." She murmured.
Angel held her closed. He had a plain, and he wasn't going to ruin it. No freaking way. He would make it right now.
Meanwhile in the Summers Home
"So let me get this straight, you and the bit are siblings, hum?" Spike asked.
"Yeah." Connor manage to say.
"COOL" Dawn exclaimed.
Connor smiled.
"Well little poof and squirt, I'm officially your guys uncle. This is so exciting!" Spike said smiling widely.
They were chatting when Buffy and Angel entered the kitchen, hands intertwined.
"Mom, Dad." Connor said. Angel let go of her hand and she opened her arms, waiting for them. Dawn and Connor hugged her, more like smashed her into a bear hug, but she seemed comfortable enough.
"Guys I think you're crushing the slayer." Spike voiced playfully.
"Shut up Spike, I'm enjoying the moment here, okay?" Buffy said her voice muffled by their bodies.
Angel and Spike exchange a look and smiled.
"Okay.. I need to talk with your mom, can I? Angel asked.
"Serious, Dad? Haven't you being doing that since you got here? Can't we have some mom time?" Connor whined.
"Yeah Daddy, please?" Begged Dawn with the puppy eyes.
"Fine, she's all yours. Can I use the shower?" Angel asked.
"Sure." And he goes up while the others decided for pizza and snacks available in the house for eat.
They talked, played, babbled and before they could notice Spike was sleeping on the couch, Connor and Dawn wrapped in a cover, Connor being used as pillow by Dawn, and Buffy getting the mess cleaned. She finished and went to take a shower, waking on her room she got her pajamas and saw Angel asleep on her bed. She took of her necklace and rings and storm into the shower, the hot water calming her muscles.
