Chapter 6

Hey guys sorry it took so long I was super busy and had a little bit of boy trouble but it's all over now so I hope you enjoy the new chapter!

Cordy pulled back from Xander and looked at him to see what his reaction might be.

But when she opened her eyes she got more then she thought Xander kissed her again told her they would talk about this tomorrow and went upstairs. Cordy stood there wondering what in the hell she had just done. Tara and Willow walked into the house and as they went to walk upstairs with their loads of witch craft books Willow noticed Cordy standing in the middle of the living room.

"Hey why don't you go up and start looking for that spell and I will be there in a minute ok." Willow said giving Tara her books. She walked into the living room and stood in front of Cordy

"Umm Cordy are you ok?" Willow said waving her hand in front of Cordy's face

Cordy came out of her trance like state and said

"Ya Will I'm fine umm…. I have to go out for a bit ok."

"Umm… Sure me and Tara are just trying to work a spell to fix Angel's curse so we will be upstairs if you need anything ok!"

And with that Cordy grabbed her coat and her jeep keys and headed out the door.

Xander had walked upstairs and Anya grabbed him and pulled him into Willow's bedroom.

"So what did your ex have to say?" She asked sweetly

"Nothing we just talked. Anya we have to talk."

Anya sat on Willows bed she had a really bad feeling about where this talk was gonna go.

Willow walked up the stairs has Cordy walked out the door and ran into Tara

"Okay… What are you doing standing in the hall, I mean sure you don't live with me in that bedroom anymore but that doesn't mean…"

Tara smiled "No Will its not that its just I think someone is in our room there is some arguing going on"

Dawn came out of her room and saw Tara and Willow

"Xander and Anya should learn not to yell so much geez!" she said has she bounced downstairs.

Willow opened the door and saw Anya sitting on the bed crying and Xander walking towards the door

"Look An I'm sorry…. I gotta go Will" as he walked past Willow to head outside. Willow ran after Xander to find out what had happened while Tara walked up to Anya.

"What happened Anya?"

"Xxxaaannndderr dosennn't knnnooww iiiff hhee wants to marry me annnymooorrreee!" Anya said has she started crying harder all Tara could do was sit on the bed and hug her friend.

Xander was walking to his car when Willow grabbed his arm

"Hey what the heck was that all about?" She asked

"Look Will I just don't know if I want to marry Anya anymore."

"But what's happened since this morning when you were picking out wedding stuff?"

"Willow as my best friend if I tell you something you can not and I repeat can not tell Anya!"

"Ok Xander you're scaring me what's up?"

"I kissed Cordelia… Or she kissed me anyway I don't how it happened but it did and I think I'm still in love with her."

"Whoa"

"So I'm just gonna go think something's through when the Buffster and dead boy get back fill them in ok."

And with that he climbed into his car and headed to a place to think.

Cordy was standing at the meeting place in front of the blown up high school. She remembered sitting here four years ago just after they had defeated the mayor things had been simpler back then. She and Xander had gotten back to being just friends and things were good.

"Why did I have kiss him I couldn't have just kept my stupid feelings to myself?"

"Cuz that would not be the Cordy we all know and love now would it." Xander said startling her.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well this is normally my thinking spot but I guess I can share."

"This is where you and I have the most memories… And you come here to think? What does Anya think about that?"

"She doesn't know… Cordy I've been thinking about that kiss and I don't think I can marry Anya."

"Xander don't say that you're just…"

"I'm not anything Cordy except for I'm still in love with you but I don't think it can work between us again I mean I know I hurt you last time…"

Before he could even say one word Cordy's lips were on his. Xander wrapped his arms around her and fell into the kiss. As the reunited couple kissed in front of the old Sunnydale high a wolf's howl could be heard in the distance.

"I'm not too sure about this place." Fred said licking her ice cream cone

"What do you mean Fred?" Gunn asked

"Well I just get funny vibes from this place!" she said with an exaggerated shiver

Well that's because Sunnydale is the centre of mystical convergence or more commonly known has a hellmouth." Wesley said coming up behind Gunn

"Speaking of which I need to go back to the house and help Willow and Tara will you guys be ok?"

"Yeah English we will be fine go play with your books."

"Ok then see you later Fred"

As Wesley headed back to the house Gunn grabbed Fred's hand and went for a stroll in the park.

Angel and Buffy walked Darla up to the front door. They went into the house and noticed Darla was not following.

"I need an invite remember vampire!"

"But you did have an invite, we did not know how to uninvited vampires when you were invited." Buffy stated

"Yes but then I turned to dust which means invite is done, then I came back human and got turned all vampy again so I need a new invite." Darla said

"Ok well I will only invite you in if you don't go all homicidal on everyone, and if you try to bite anyone in my household be warned I will stake you pregnant or not." Buffy said.

"Fine I understand the rules can I come in now my feet are killing me."

"Fine come in Angel take her and put her on the couch till we can figure out a bed for her."

Dawn came out of the kitchen and looked at Buffy.

"What the hell is that succubus doing in mom's house?"

"Dawn wait a minute you don't understand…"

"No your right I don't understand how can you let her back in this house after she almost killed mom!"

"Dawn I need to talk to you in the kitchen now!"

She dragged Dawn into the kitchen and hugged her.

"Hey I don't like this anymore then you do but Dawn… She could be pregnant for real which means that child is Angel's we have to figure this out and we have to keep an eye on her ok."

Dawn just nodded and hugged Buffy back Angel walked into the kitchen with Xander and Cordy following behind him.

"Ok why the hell is dead girl pregnant?" Xander said looking shocked.

"Angel I thought you told me nothing happened with Darla" Cordy said looking angry

"And why would you care if anything happened between Angel and Darla Cordy?" Buffy asked suspiciously.

"Look this isn't about me Buffy this is about the very pregnant vampire in the living room with everyone else."

"Nope actually everyone else is in the kitchen with you guys!" Wesley pointed out "We need to talk to you, Fred and I were doing some research with Willow and Tara and we came across a prophecy it talks about something called the tro-clan and it's supposed to be the scourge of human kind."

"So you're saying if Darla is pregnant that my kid could be the destroyer of the world?"

"Unfortunately that's exactly what we are saying." Wesley said looking down at the books.

Angel was about to tell Wesley where to shove his prophecy when all of a sudden the heard a scream come from the living room.

Angel ran in grabbed Darla and threw her across the room, he grabbed the cloth that was on the floor and held it to Dawn's neck and carried her to the couch.

"I was just trying to make her comfortable he back was hurting so I was getting her more pillows and then she just attacked me" Dawn said her eyes starting to tear up.

"Its ok sweetie you will be fine!" Buffy said coming to Angel's side.

"Ummm guys where did Darla go?" Xander asked cautiously

All of a sudden Cordy shut her eyes grabbed her head and Angel Wesley and Gunn ran towards her. They reached her before she hit the floor and Buffy and the gang were confused has to why Cordy was having a seizer.

"Cordy your ok just tell us what you saw." Angel said taking her towards the empty chair in the living room.

"I see an arcade fun house full of kids… Oh god Angel you have to hurry and get there she is gonna kill a kid!" Cordy said taking the Tylenol and drinking water that Fred had brought her.

"Xander take her upstairs and put her in my room, Willow take care of Dawn." Buffy said grabbing her sword has Angel grabbed his and headed out the door.

Xander helped Cordy up the stairs and laid her on Buffy's bed.

"Ok what the hell happened down there?" Xander asked

"I have visions from the PTB I inherited them from Doyle when he died they are super painful because I'm not half demon so they hurt me more then they did Doyle but I get visions to help people they actually make me a useful part of a group instead of just being the person nobody really wants there!" Cordy said hiding her face so Xander could not see tears starting to run down her face.

"Well I'm gonna let you rest I need to talk to Anya and figure everything out then I will come check on you ok." He stated kissing her on the top of the head then walking out the door.

Has soon as he left Cordy burst into tears she hated hiding the fact that she knew the visions were doing her more damage then the others knew.

…

\

Back in L.A a demon named SaJan was doing a spell around a huge slab of rock. When he finished the spell the earth started to shake and he anticipated for the moment to happen. Disappointed when nothing happened he started walking away but as soon has he turned his back the rock broke and a man was left in the rubble.

"Don't try and get up to fast you've been away for 200 years it might take you a minute" SaJan said putting his hand on the man's shoulder.

The man stood up and looked at SaJan

"Where is Angelus?" He asked with a deep need for revenge running through him.

"Don't worry Holtz you will have your revenge but first you must catch up on what you have missed the last two hundred years then we will find Angelus!"

Holts walked out of the rubble and followed SaJan down a tunnel.

….

Darla was walking around the fun house full of children when she heard a young boy calling out for his mom.

"Have you lost your mommy?"

The boy nodded his head.

"Well how about we look for her together." Darla said grabbing the boy's hand

"Well aren't you brave."

Darla whipped her head around and looked at a woman walking with her daughter.

"Excuse me?" Darla said in her sweetest voice.

"Well I mean taking one out to play when you're almost ready to pop with the other one."

Darla looked at the woman and smiled

"What can I say I love children I could just eat them up!" she said walking away with the young boy.

She walked him to a dark little corner and looked around.

"Is your mommy over here?"

"I don't think so" said the little boy

"Why don't you check again?"

The boy turned away for a second then looked at Darla and started screaming as Darla went for his neck. Angel punched her in the face then told the little boy to run. Everyone started screaming and running when the saw Darla fly across the room and land on an arcade game. Angel grabbed her by the throat and held her against the wall with Buffy watching from behind.

"Well aren't you a smart one you can't choke someone who is already dead" Darla said laughing like a crazy person.

All of a sudden Angel backed off looking confused Darla's face went back to human like and she started hitting him

"Just make it stop I'm so hungry I just want the hunger to stop" Darla said crying and still beating on Angel. Buffy was about to step in when Angel just started hugging her.

"Darla shhh its ok I know why you're craving purer and purer blood our child has a soul it has a soul Darla."

"No not my child!" She screamed has she started crying Buffy walked up to Angel.

"We should get her back to the house before people start asking questions!" Buffy said she could not help but be super jealous that Darla was with child, and not just with any child with Angel's child. She could still remember how sad he looked when he said he could never have kids when they were in the grave yard looking for the Gorch brothers.

She looked over at Darla and Angel as they walked into the house and watched him help her up the stairs into Willows room.

Cordy came out of Buffy's room and watched Angel help Darla into Willow's.

Angel came out of the room after getting Darla all settled and saw Cordy standing in the hall with her arms crossed.

"So I want to know why you told me nothing happened between you to Angel I thought we were friends!"

"Cordy I was in a bad place I had just fired you guys and thought the whole world was doomed so I figured what the hell."

Buffy came upstairs with a cup of blood for Darla and heard the conversation going on between Angel and Cordelia

"Ok Cordelia I'm gonna ask this one more time and if I don't get an answer this time I'm gonna start beating it out of you ok… Why do you care so much about what happened between Darla and Angel?"

Cordy looked at Buffy and just stared she really needs to get over this jealous high school bit she thought.

"OK I cared because I thought I might have had feelings for him but I don't I'm in love with Xa….someone else so I'm caring right now has a friend!"

Satisfied with the answer Buffy walked into her mother's old room and shut the door.

Angel stared at Cordy for a minute then gave her a little flattered smile the walked into the bedroom where Buffy and Darla were waiting.

Angel closed the door and looked at Buffy and Darla

"Angel we need to see what is in there exactly?"

"Umm little problem cheerleader girl I've gone to every shaman on the planet and medicine man and nobody could tell me a damn thing so how do you propose we do that?" Darla snarled

At that moment Willow came into the room to check on things and Darla started screaming in pain.

"Angel go grab the car we have to get her to the hospital we have a way to see what's in there!"

…..

The Gang lead Darla into the hospital and put her into an empty examination room. Fred and Willow ran in with an ultra sound machine and told Darla to lie down. It took a minute for the girls to find the thing that was inside of Darla but when they did all everyone heard through out the room was a very loud thump, thump of the child's heart beat. Darla looked at the screen with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. That was her baby in there she thought and there was not a soul who was gonna hurt her child.

"Umm guys sorry to break up this love fest but we have company!" Dawn said looking up at the hordes of vampires in the room. The gang looked up and backed away to surround Darla.

"We want the sacred child" the head vamp said

"If you think you're touching my kid…." Darla started

"We need to kill all of you to nourish the mother and the sacred one…"

"Well now I do like the sound of that" said Darla as she started walking towards the vamps.

"Then we shall kill the mother once the child is born." Stated the vampires in unison

"The hell with….. Hey what the…" Darla said as Fred's arm was around her throat and a scalpel pointed straight at her stomach.

"Keep back or I will kill your so called sacred one" Fred said with a voice that didn't seem to be hers.

Angel, Gunn, and Wesley all looked at her like she had lost it when Lorne leaned over to Angel and whispered

"Its ok I get the feeling nothing can harm Jr when he is in the womb."

The cult of vamps looked at Lorne and Darla glared at him

"Good job u moron vamps have super hearing so they sure know now"

The cult of vamps smiled with an evil glint in their eyes and attacked

Angel and Buffy stood back to back kicking out and punching the vamps that came their way. Cordelia grabbed a bed pan ad started hitting the vamps with it Gunn, Fred, Lorne and Wes were all fighting figuring they could handle it Dawn and Xander grabbed Darla and ran.

While they were in the Angel's car driving back to the Summers house Dawn looked behind them just has Darla started screaming in pain. "Um Xander I think Darla is going into labour" "What" Xander said with an extremely freaked out look on his face he whipped out his cell and speed dialled Buff's number "Come on Come on pick up…. Buffy are you guys al right ….. Yeah Dawn and I are fine we have Darla with us yes listen Darla just went into labour… yes I realize well we are in the back ally right behind the Bronze yes well I think you guys should hurry cuz we have company" Xander said staring at the four big uglies that were coming towards them.

Dawn and Xander got out of the car to try and help Darla but she screamed and sent both Xander and Dawn flying in different directions. Then noticing both of them were out cold Darla jumped in the car and took off.

Buffy and Angel pulled up to the unconscious pair and Buffy jumped out to check on her. Angel ran over to Xander and shook him awake "Xander, hey Xander wake up…. Where is Darla?" Xander put his hand to his head and tried to sit up "I….Don't… Know she took off in your car" That was all he was able to say before he passed out again

"Angel go find Darla I will get these guys home ok…Go" Buffy shouted has she bent down to pick up Dawn and put her in the car.

Angel took off following his sire's scent and when he finally found her sitting on a rooftop looking at the view and rubbing her stomach he thought he was finally seeing what Darla would look like if thee soul of their child would have actually been hers instead of just being temporally inside of her.

"You always did love a view" Angel said walking towards her

Darla just sat there staring at the world "Look at it. Listen to it. Can you smell it? This world! This horrible world! Why would anyone want to bring a baby into it?"

Angel walked closer to her "To make it better maybe!"

Darla looked at him "Or to destroy it finally"

Angel shook his head "Why is it everyone insists on planning my son's future before he is even born"

Darla looked at Angel "Alright then, how's this? It doesn't have a future. Not with me."

Angel looked up in shock "Darla..."

"Angel, I can't have this baby."

"What?"

"I can't let it out. I-I can't."

"Okay, not sure you have a lot of choice in the matter..."

"Look, I know. It wants to come out. I can feel it. It's ready. It's just - I can't let it. I can't let because... because..."

"You love it."

"Completely. I love it completely. I-I-I don't think I've ever loved anything as much as this life that's inside of me."

"Well - you've never loved anything, Darla."

"That's true. Four hundred years and I never did - till now. - I don't know what to do."

"Well, you-you'll do the only thing that you can do. - You'll have it. You'll have it and then..."

"What? We'll raise it?"

"Why not?"

"It's impossible."

"This whole thing is impossible, Darla, but its happening."

"What do I have to offer a child, a human child, besides ugly death?"

"Darla."

"You know it's true."

"No. What I do know is that you love this baby, our baby. You've bonded with it. You've spent nine months carrying it, nourishing it..."

"No. No, I haven't been nourishing it. I haven't given this baby a thing. I'm dead. It's been nourishing me. These feelings that I'm having, they're not mine. They're coming from it."

"You don't know that."

"Of course I do! We both do. Angel, I don't have a soul. It does. And right now that soul is inside of me, but soon, it won't be and then..."

"Darla..."

"I won't be able to love it. I won't even be able to remember that I loved it. I want to remember." Darla said tears rolling down her face now. Angel walked up and held her in his arms has she cried.

Angel walked into Buffy's house with Darla who was in utter pain now "we have to take her upstairs" Angel said has Darla sat on an extra chair in the living room.

"Uh, Ya put her in Willows room for now." Dawn said

Angel helped Darla up and took her upstairs to Willows room but when Dawn looked down that's when she saw the blood.

Buffy, Willow, Fred ,Wes and Gunn were sitting in the kitchen watching Lorne talk to the girls who would put a spell on the house so there could be no violence by human or demon in the house.

"Ok Fredykins try it now." Fred slapped Gunn in the face and looked at Lorne "Nope still not working"

Buffy looked at these people and then looked at Willow "We need to go check on Angel and Darla" she said has she started heading towards the stairs. When she got there she heard "Try it now!" "Slap" then she saw a flash of light and heard "Yup it works" shaking her head Buffy went up the stairs and went into the bedroom that used to be her mothers.

Back downstairs Lorne looked up from what he was doing then told everyone to run and ran up the stairs everyone followed him and ran into the room Darla was in ad started helping Angel and Buffy get Darla out of the window. When everyone had managed to get out of the house they heard a loud boom and saw the house go up in flames laying Darla on the grass in the rain Willow and the gang ran to get the car Cordelia and Buffy stayed by Angel's side with Darla he looked down at her with a smile.

"He's dying isn't he?" Darla asked

"No our boy will be fine" Angel said with tears in his eyes

"Who did this to the house" Buffy asked looking from Darla to Angel hoping one of them would know something.

"It was Holtz I saw him standing outside" Angel said looking at Darla

"Holtz….. What we did to him that's why we are going to lose our boy doesn't seem so funny now does it we killed his family now we are losing ours its not unjust is it"

"Don't think like that it's gonna be ok" Angel said looking at Buffy with the saddest look she had ever seen him give.

"This child Angel it's the one good thing we ever did together" Angel held Darla's hand and brought it to his lips.

"It's the only good thing make sure you tell him that" She said has she used her free hand to grab a loose piece of wood that had landed beside her when the house exploded

Angel opened his eyes just in time to see Darla stake herself has the dust of the hand he was holding settled Buffy Angel and Cordelia saw the baby lying in the wet grass. Buffy passed Angel her jacket to put the baby in just has The rest of the Team all in Angel and Xander's cars stopped to pick up the remaining three. Holtz was standing on the back porch of the now smouldering house and watched has Angel picked up his son and started to walk towards the vehicles. SaJan appeared behind Holtz `What are you waiting for now is your chance kill him get your revenge do it now!"

"She sacrificed herself for the child maybe I was wrong maybe Angelus and Darla had changed their ways." "What does that matter they are still the monsters that killed your family do it now."

Holtz looked at SaJan and said "Now is not the time we will strike when the timing is right" and with that he walked off of the property with Buffy's burning house behind him. Has Holtz was walking away there was a glow of yellow eyes in the bushes that seemed to be following him.
