In the main lobby, Selene cowered under Harmony's desk, tears still swimming in her frozen gold eyes. It was here Angel found her as he sat himself on the desk and gave a light tap on top, "Someone's hungry mommy," the baby fussing in his arms.
Slowly the mother came out, white as paper, gently taking her daughter, "Bonjour cheri. You love me still." Angel smiled as he watched the baby cooed happily at her mother.
Smiling and crying some, Selene tore open her wrist, much deeper than need be, before letting the beautiful infant have what appeared to be the last of the blood in her body while Angel sat there watching his girls. Softly Selene pressed her lips to her daughters forehead, kissing her, looking if at all possible, even whiter than before.
At this the younger Irish male frowned some, "I sent out a special team to bring you back some food. They brought a few because someone noticed you weren't looking too great."
Instantly the mother's smile fell, "So you don't like how I look now?" Tears began to return to her eyes, "Fine! See if I ever come near you again Liam O'Neil!" She screamed holding the girl close and running for the elevator where Trinity was.
Angel groaned, "Damn it I didn't mean it like that!" he called after her, getting up to follow, reaching the elevator just as its doors shut.
"Everything alright sir?" Trinity asked quietly.
"Hm?" he glanced up at the girl and sighed. Damn she looked familiar. "Yeah fine. My wife is just a little emotional. You're rather nosey you know."
"Sorry," she smiled some. "Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"
"Don't drink coffee sorry, besides I think the hysterical wife is a little more important don't you?" Angel questioned as Selene sat on the elevator floor with their child.
"Just give her some time to cool off. I'm sure she'll be fine," Trinity flashed him a smile, her k9's just a bit sharper than they should be for a mortal.
At this Angel frowned, "You obviously don't know my wife. Are...are you coming on to me?" He skirted around her and tapped on the elevator door, "Come on Selene!"
~Go fuck yourself in Hell Angel!~
He groaned, "Fine guess I'll go have coffee with the weird woman who offered then. Then I'll eat your lunch."
~Fine,~ she snapped. ~Leave me for a Buffy clone!~
The ensouled vampire felt like face palming, "That's it! Quit your sulking! I only meant that people were noticing you weren't feeding right now get out here and go eat!" He pried the doors apart only to find an elevator shaft, the cart gone. At the sight he groaned and threw his arms up, storming back into his office where his daughter lay asleep in her bassinet, his window shattered. He blinked wondering how the hell she managed that and scooped up the baby to find her a safer place. "Harmony, I'll be in Selene's office tomorrow."
Down in the infirmary Spike swore into his phone, causing Mana to look up from the exam and frowned at him, "What's wrong baby?"
"Slight situation love," he sighed.
Again she frowned, "What'd Selene do now?"
The blond shook his head, "Don't worry love. Just rest."
The teen grabbed out and took his hand. "Are you leaving me here?"
"Just going to the loo princess," he smiled.
She narrowed her eyes at him, "You're lying to me."
"Am not!" Spike snapped some.
"Are so! You're gonna leave me by myself again and probably get yourself killed!" Mana's lip quivered.
"Where the bloody hell'd you get an idiotic idea like that? I'm going right over there to the nice loo, taking my plonker outta my pants, and take a nice long crimson piss, care to watch?" Spike growled slightly.
Her lip quivered a little more, her nails digging into his wrist, "Swear you'll come back."
He sighed, "I just wanna take a bloody piss!"
"You're avoiding the issue!" A single tear fell from and slid down her cheek. She was terrified Fred would say she had to terminate and she didn't want to be alone.
Seeing this the blond sighed again and unzipped his pants, taking a piss under her bed.
"Gross!" Mana looked up to see Fred frowning at him.
"I told you I had to take a fucking piss!" Spike sighed yet again.
"You coulda just said 'I promise I'll be right back' and I woulda let you go!" Mana growled, which simply caused Spike to smirk.
A little later, he tucked Mana into their bed before sitting in front of the window.
"So that's it?" she sighed. "I just have to eat more?" she grumbled. "All that poking and prodding for nothing! Gimme my baby!" she muttered.
