Part 1
"Damnit, nothing happened, " Willow yelled. It was storming outside. Typically it rained or drizzled, in Sunny hell but tonight it was pouring. The winds were fierce. Almost like a warning Xander thought.
I hate this town, things were bad Xander thought. Hell things were always bad but now they were especially bad since Buffy had died. A pain hit my heart. I could hear Willow yelling over the rain. She had tried calling to her God. Hell she had thrown up a snake. I had thrown up after I had seen her do that. She never mentioned anything about that. I had seen the look on Tara's face and I known at that moment she was keeping secrets from her other half. She was playing with dark magic's here.
She had convinced us, Tara and Anya to come to Buffy's grave, some stupid idea to raise the dead. Not one of us actually believed she could do it but she wasn't herself these days. She had really lost it when she had seen Buffy's body at the bottom of the tower. She never cried. Not one single tear. She just simply walked over to the body and said, this is not the end.
She had done all the planning. She ordered the coffin. She said Buffy would not have liked a white or pink coffin silk lining coffin. She made sure it was red. She said Buffy loved red. She picked everything out even picked her clothes out. Dressed her in a beautiful white dress. She had cried because she said that Buffy had told her once that she would die young and never get to have a wedding. So what did Willow do she went and bought her a simple white dress.
Anya could not believe that Willow was doing all this and simple asked her why the hell she was bothering. Anya simply stated that Buffy was better off. That's my An, I frowned and looked at my Fiancé.
Willow had looked like she was about to explode. Anya asked her why she didn't bury Buffy in black. Anya has a simple mind she said it's a funeral, people wear black. I remember Willow simply looking at her and saying Buffy would not have wanted to be buried in black she, whispered. God she even made sure she did Buffy's makeup.
Then she did what we all forgot to do she went to Angels. We were surprised to see that Angel was not with her. She looked at us and said he wasn't coming. That's when I asked did he stake himself? No she said quietly he left to go to a monastery. I don't think he could handle the funeral. It was probably for the best I thought. Other than that I never asked any questions. I personally hated the guy. It wasn't that he got the girl. I realized that I was never really in love with Buffy. It was that he broke her heart more times than I can count. She was my best friend. Personally I wanted to stake the bastard.
That was three months ago and Willow had never shed a tear and I had seen her for maybe 5 minutes in that entire three month time period. She never answered the phone and ever time I had come to see her she was never home. When I finally got an answer from Tara, she mentioned something about a spell. She told me to dismiss it. Willow was hurting she said. It gave her the opportunity to try to find a way to heal she said.
So here we are standing here in the middle of a graveyard. Standing over the grave of our dearest friend who died to save our lives. To save her sisters life and I also know she took that leap because she was tired of being the slayer, who wouldn't be. I see my best friend since I was a toddler about to crack.
"OH... OH ...GOD...GOD...NO," she started to sob.
I walked over to Willow
"OH God Xander, The spell I thought it would work, I worked so hard on it and I thought I could bring her back," She sobbed.
I just hugged her. I really have no clue what to tell her. I think its kinda selfish myself to think someone should try to bring someone back from the great beyond. I can't tell her that. But hell I'm selfish myself; didn't I tell Buffy to kick Angels Ass? And don't I want her back myself?
"Willow, I know you wanted it to work, I wanted it to work, just as bad," I whisper.
By this time I am crying as hard as she is. I look around and notice that Tara and Anya are crying also. My Anya is crying... impossible I think. Has to be this rain drops from the storm.
"Oh god Xander, I'm horrible I can't believe I just tried to bring Buffy from the dead," she sobbed.
"Yes you are," said a very British voice.
"Spike!" I yell. I'm shock. I'm actually more embarrassed. We didn't invite him because we all knew he would stop us. He's standing there calmly smoking a cigarette. I wonder how much of this he has seen and overheard?
"That would be who I am," he said calmly.
But I could definitely tell that he was very well indeed pissed off.
"You want to tell me what you Wankers are doing out here in this God-awful storm?" he asked with a smirk.
He looked at Anya and said, "Now why would the Princess here be out in the rain"?
"I'm an ex demon not a princess," she said
"Hmm ya I know, but still you don't like to get dirty remember," he smirked.
"He does have a point Anya," I told her. She looked like she was just going to argue but just nodded instead.
"Now what was this about you bringing Buffy back from the dead?" he asked.
Each one of them just looked to the ground. "Ummm, I was trying to bring her back,"mummered Willow.
"But it didn't work she," Willow said. Tears falling down her face
Then he punched her. "OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" he was screaming.
I grabbed him and started to beat the shit out of him! "How dare you?" I started yelling.
"YOU STUPID HUMANS, LOOK WHAT YOU DID, HELP HER OUT," He yelled through the beating.
"OMG," Tara yelled.
"XANDER, STOP!" yelled Willow
I was completely confused but I did what Willow asked. I ran over to Buffy's grave and noticed the small movement under the dirt. Two little fingers poked under their way out. I swallowed and for a moment fear ran through me and I stepped back. Zombie Buffy was the first thing that ran through my mind.
"SHIT," I yelled
I frantically got on the ground and saw that Spike was already beside me how the hell he did that I will never know. The girls quickly joined us. There is a hand, someone yelled. We quickly pulled her out.
Oh god she stopped breathing. CPR I thought. OK OK OK OK OK calm down. I can do this I did it before. I tilted her head back Breath 1,2,3,4,5, Breath She gasped I pushed her to her side Her dirty eyes blinked opened and she looked up at me and gasped out," Xander," and passed out.
******************************************************************
Part 2
For a second and only a second we just all stood there. They rain was pouring down around them. The Angel laying at our feet had to be a trick. The only light they actually had was a small flashlight and the occasional lightning that flashed across the sky. She was dressed in a tattered white dress and her hair was light brownish blond. To me she looked to be an Angel.
It had to be a trick Spike thought to himself. I saw her take a small breath.. That's all it took. My Slayer was back. Before the others could react, I grabbed her. The smell of death was covering her. God she was dirty. She could barely breath. "I'm taking her to a hospital," I yelled the others.
I really didn't give a damn what they thought. They should have never have done this to her but they did . If I had a soul I would have lost it, I thought as I ran as fast as I could down the road.
She's back, God I missed her, my slayer. Never thought I would ever miss a slayer. This one is different; she's the sun and the moon. She's life everything you ever want.
God where the hell is the God damn ER. A small chuckle came out. I never thought I would ever be taking a slayer to the damn ER. I have to smile at that. Damn she's back! My slayer is back. God Buffy's back! Thank you GOD!!!!! God please take care of her, Please I actually pray. Can you believe I'm praying. I can't help it. My life has been hell since she's been gone. I missed her. I wonder if I will burst into ashes. Please God if I do please let me make it to the hospital, I pray.
I finally see the sign to the hospital. Thank you I pray. Hmmm maybe there is a higher power. I always wondered.
I rush past all the ambulances. I'm surprised; they are usually always gone. Hell this is Sunnydale. People get murdered or attacked everyday.
I run in the hospital
I yell, "HELP HER!"
I grab the nearest D.R.
"Take a seat," he says
I vamp out and growl "No I don't think so," I tell him.
He freaks out and finally looks at her.
"Um certainly, dear god is that Buffy Summers? Follow me now. Nurse she's critical."
I place her on the gurney. "NURSE, CODE BLUE NOW!! SHES GOING INTO CARDIAC ARREST."
"Sir you will have to stay out here. If she has any family you might want to call them she's very critical. I'm so very sorry," she tells me.
"Oh No no no no I drop to my knees, this is not happening. If there is a God up there then you help her you understand," I started yelling. I didn't care if people were staring at me or not. Didn't really give a shit.
"She went through so much, she's back she has another chance at life. Damnit you give it to her, DON'T YOU LET HER DIE, TAKE ME INSTEAD!" I screamed
I was crying, I couldn't believe this was happening. Also what the hell was wrong with me? I was Spike, William the bloody crying over the Slayer?
I knew the Gang was there because I heard Willow crying in the background.
"Please God give her a chance," whispered Willow. The entire gangs basically were all thinking the same thing
SUDDENLY THERE WAS A FLASH OF LIGHT
I looked up the light was blinding. I was afraid he was going to be burned up. I looked around the room. It looked like something a Greek God would live in. Did I drink some bad Pigs blood?
"Silly warrior, don't be afraid," said a wonderful sweet voice.
I looked up, I saw what looked like one of the most beautiful women that I had ever seen.
"Hello warrior" she said.
"Hello, who are you?" I asked.
"I am an Oracle, I work for the PTB," she told me "I heard your plea,"
"My plea?" I asked.
"Yes your prayer, to save the slayers life, not to often that a vampire without a soul will pray," she said. "I have met your grandsire, though," she told him with a smile.
That pouf, " I thought. I saw her smile. So she can read minds. I saw her shake her head. I guess that's a yes.
"I want to help you, but you must help me," she told him. "I want to make you a full time warrior," "Will you help me?"
"I.... I am not sure what do you want of me," I told her truthfully.
"We want Buffy to return, you want her to return, she is very special, she is not only a warrior but she is loved Is she not?" she asked.
"Yes," I smiled. What is she getting at I wondered.
"Good," she smiled back, "I want you to work for us to work with Buffy from now on, I want to return your soul and I want you to work toward redemption like Angel is doing. Plus I want you to protect Buffy. Will you do that for us? She asked.
"My soul? I stuttered.
"I don't know," I told her. Dread filled me that was the last thing. I didn't want to help Buffy that bad did I?
"You said anything," she said and frowned, "You are holding Buffy's life in your hand."
"Yes.... YES.... YES, Fine, please bring her back," I said, wasn't that nice of her I thought.
"Also she says as a warrior your chip will be removed, you will not be needing it, your soul will be permanent. We will not have any worries of your demon coming back," she said.
I nodded thrilled to have this chip out.
"DONE, we shall meet one day again warrior," she said.
With that I was back in the same position on his knees on the floor. I realized it looked like he had not even left. People were still looking at me and the Dr was still calling "CODE BLUE," I just smiled.
"Spike how can you smile?" said Xander.
"It will be soon," I told him and I grinned.
"Spike, Buffy is dying again," Xander started..
"AGHHH," I screamed. God this horrible pain started to rip right through my body. It started with my head. I grabbed my head the pressure was too much for me to stand and I started to scream. I realized that the pain is from the chip being removed. They could have at least made it less painful.
I could hear Tara start to scream I didn't give a damn it was making the pain worse. I just started to shake. The pain started to move down to my stomach. The demon in me started to fight for control. It was losing the battle. I broke out in a sweat. I felt like retching. I realized in that instant that I have never retched as a vampire. A very weird thing to think of while I'm in pain. I feel someone's hands on my shoulders. God I moan "stay back and leave me alone". "Please go away" Please I think. I never say please.
The shaking starts to ease and I look up and I see the gang staring at me.
"What the hell was that," whispers Willow?
"My soul," I yelled clutching my stomach
"Ya right," says Xander.
"I traded it for Buffy's life," I whisper.
Then it hit me. OH GOD, The memories, The death, How I got the nick name, Hell I used Spikes, The slayers, The babies, The toddlers, The children, The rapes, and DRU, Oh god!
I can't stop shaking I'm crying so hard I can't help it. "Is he ok?" I hear someone ask.
"Yes he is, he just got some bad news," says Xander.
Willow comes up to me and puts her arms around me come on Spike" Lets go home," she tells me.
"No I try to tell her why I'm crying. I'm staying to see how Buffy is doing," I cry. I try to get away from her.
"You should stay away from me. How can you be around me I'm a horrible horrible person?" I whisper.
She looks at me and just smiles," Its ok Spike. I actually like you and so does Xander," She whispers.
I look at her like she's crazy. I shake my head and whisper back," Do me a favor and call me Will."
Tears start to form again as I think about the people I have killed. She wraps her arms around me, come here she tells me. I need comfort. I can't help it.
About three hours later we are all sitting around the lobby. I'm still shaking and occasionally a tear comes down my face. It's going to be a long road ahead of me. I now know how Angel feels. I do know that there is one thing that I don't want to do and that is that I don't want to talk to Angel. I still can't stand him. I hate him even more with a soul than I did without him. My demon actually liked him. I do know that I'm going to have to get new clothes. I have to grin at that thought. I look around the room. Most of the gang is asleep, but Willow who is just looking at me.
"What?" I ask.
"You need new clothes," She said with a small grin.
I grin right back, "Thanks I was thinking the same thing."
"Do you think I did the right thing by bringing her back?" she asked me.
I just looked at her for a few minutes. She was looking at me like a lost child, honestly I wasn't sure what to tell her.
"Willow, I don't know I don't even know who I am at this moment. The old Spike said yes and I got my soul back for it because I prayed for her to live. She was very important to him for the wrong reasons and she's very important to me," I admitted.
"Lets see what Buffy has to say about it ok," I told her, she just nodded
"Excuse me are any of you relatives of Buffy Summer's?" Said what look to be a DR.
I jumped up and said "I'm sorry but she doesn't have any family."
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that," He said.
"How is she?" I asked.
He smiled, "She's stable and we moved her to room 134 down the hall," he told us.
"Can we see her?" I asked.
"Well I'm sorry but visiting hours are over and she is still asleep," the DR said.
"I do understand," I told him. I was very upset and I was almost about to cry. Tonight was a traumatic event for me.
The DR looked me over and took my appearance to mean more and said "Young man, you seem to really care for the young lady, I think we can at least place a cot in the room."
I jumped at that. "Thank you so much." I followed him
I looked at Willow and she said "Call and keep us informed we will come see you in the morning." I just nodded
"Good night Willow," I told her.
She came up and hugged me." Good night," William she said. No one had hugged me in over hundred years without fear and it gave me a funny feeling.
She turned and woke the gang up I turned and followed the Dr. to room 134.
I walked in the room it just freaked me out. She was so pale. The only wire she had was an I.V. She was sound asleep. Death was still all around her. I looked at her and I felt a pang go through my undead heart. They should have never done this to her. I brushed her hair back from her head. Buffy I told her, as long as I live my undead life I will never let anything happen to you ever again. Something tells me that you and me have a long road ahead of us Pet. I just couldn't let go of Buffy's hand. I plan on being here as soon as she opens her eyes.
I couldn't help myself though. I started to drift to sleep. "Tonight had been one hell of a night, Pet," I whispered. "Hey pet, can you sing?" I asked her.
**************************************************************
Part 3
Same night LA
"Angel I really don't see why we can't redecorate this place?" complained Cordelia.
"Because I like it, " I said for the 100th time. "Really she was getting on my nerves.
"Cordy can you please just drop the subject. It's a hotel, Cordy, "I told her. Hell it's a very old hotel. Looked just the same as it did when I was here in the 50's.
"Yes Angel but it's also our office if you haven't forgotten that," she said saucily.
I just groaned. "All right Cordy, what do you want to do," I asked her.
She smiled this brilliant smile, I couldn't help but smile she reminded me of my sister sometimes. I caved in.
"Well I wanted to do this to the front," she said but before she could actually show me the picture she was interrupted my " Angel Oh Dear," Wesley yelled from his office.
"DAMNIT," both Cordy and I said at the same time. Of course it was for different reasons I assure you. She was finally getting her way and Wesley interrupted and usually when Wes said that phrase that meant something horrible was about to happen.. And at the moment he was translating some scroll I found while I was in the mountains at that damn demon monastery. I don't even want to think about why I was actually there.
Wes opened his office door with a crash, "Angel, Oh dear, "He muttered. He walked over to the counter and he looked up "Well come here" he said impatiently. "You too Cordy."
"Do I really have too?" she said.
"I really don't like it when you say things like "Oh Dear" and next you will be cleaning your glasses," As soon as she said that he took off his glasses and started cleaning them. We both smirked
"I'm sorry what did you say?" He asked not even looking up. We both lost our smirks, must be bad because even Wes has a sense of humor these days.
"Angel where is Gunn?" he asked.
"Umm I think he is out with Fred to a Movie," I told him. Hmm was all he said.
Personally I thought it was great. Since we had come back from Pylea she had followed me around like a puppy it was obvious. She wasn't my beloved ............ Cordy says to talk to her but what the hell I WONT. I'm chicken shit.
I could see Cordelia looking at me with that look. That look was saying I know what you're thinking. I think that Cordelia has been around me too long.
Oops, I realize that Wesley has been talking, I sighed and I asked him to repeat what he was saying
He gives me this look and tells me that this is very important that I should pay attention. I hear Cordelia snicker.
I mutter," Queen C." She stops snickering and gives me a drop-dead look and snickers more and mouths oops your already dead.
"Anyway I was translating these scrolls and what I can get so far is this and I found is very very interesting angel and I think you will too. This Scroll that you found Angel is called the Twilight Scroll. It's a very ancient scroll. You said the monks had this, he asked?
I just nodded.
Well apparently this is about 2,250 years old, he said, but this is what I translated so far.....
One will be born
Bye two undead
One angelic
Two will nurse
One will be the chosen to nurse the
blood
For awhile no one said a word. Not a damn word. I really hate these damn things. The angelic thing gets me and I'm sure it gets everyone. We usually know who the Angelic person is.
"What does it mean Wes?" I whisper.
"I'm not sure," He says. He's looking at me, intently.
"It almost sounds like there a birth of some kind coming," Wes told me "I really don't have a clue, um I have to check my books," and he headed towards his office.
"Ewwww and what the hell did you do?" said Cordy.
"What now I didn't do anything?" I tell her.
She looks at me. "Blah whatever!" and with a wave of her hand she said she was heading home.
She turns. "Vision!" she yells. I'm quick enough to catch her before she falls.
**************************************************************************************
Part 4
What the hell I think. All I see is blackness, there is nothing but blackness, I gasp I cant breath, God I cant breath, I try to move, I cant sit up. Oh shit. I put my hands up and I feel what feels like satin? I can almost make out two hands and see a pair of rings. The rings are beautiful. Only I would think of that while I’m panicking. I start to kick and claw is this wood? Am in a coffin? I still cant breath. I’m still kicking the wood. I try to yell. My lungs are hurting. I’m thrashing all over the place. I’m frantic. Oh god someone help me. I finally hear the wood break and I start to kick harder till it gives more and I wiggle out. I’m crying harder now. My lungs have been deprived of oxygen now. Oh my God is this dirt. I start to claw at the dirt until I get tow little fingers and I feel hands. I finally feel hands and then I think I whisper a name and someone is running.
Cordy I feel someone shaking me
"Cordy Cordy, Come out of it, you're scaring me," Angel said.
I hear more yelling, but that's not my name I'm hearing. Whose name is that? It's on the tip of my tongue. Damnit who the hell was that?
"I CAN'T HELP HER I SCREAM?" TO THEM.
I look up and see Wes and Angel looking very pale and very scared. I know they are freaked. Hell I have never been more scared in my entire life. Never have I ever had a vision like this.
"Breath Cordy now," I hear Wes say.
I take a huge breath in and I start hyperventilating. "Oh My GOD" I whisper.
"Wesley aspirin," I whisper please god I need aspirin.
"Cordy what the hell happened?" Angel asked her
"Angel I need aspirin." I tell him.
"It's coming," he told her.
Wesley comes back with a glass of water and I gulp down about 6 aspirins. I really didn't care I was in so much pain. God what the hell was that. I have never had a vision like that before. That scared the shit out of me. I start to calm down. I'm trying to concentrate on the name the girl had whispered and it's just not clear. The girl was pretty out of it herself by the time she got out.
Angel kneeled down in front of me and said "Cord please take your time but tell me what happened. "Something just happened here that just scared the shit out of us. "It looked like you just had a seizure?"
"Did you?" he asked.
"No I had a vision," I whispered.
"That was no vision," said Wes.
"Yes," I whispered that was a vision and it had scared me pretty bad.
"Oh my god, Angel, it was like no vision I have ever had. I became that person I became her." My voice had become so small by this time.
"It ... It was so dark there. I didn't know where I was. I couldn't breath. I mean she couldn't breath she tried to sit up and she couldn't. She couldn't move. The smell was horrible. That's what I figured it out she was in a coffin," I whispered. I watched as the guys winced.
"Wait she was buried alive?" Wes whispered.
"I guess," I told them.
"The girl was deprived of oxygen and she finally got out she's strong. And then she had to dig her way out of dirt. But there were people waiting for her at the top,"I told them.
"Why would there be people waiting for her?" Asked Angel.
I just shrugged.
"Why would the PTB send Cordy this kind of vision?" asked Wes.
"This has to be important," he said.
"All I know is that she was scared, I was scared, " I said with a shiver.
"Wait how do you know it was a girl," Angel asked.
"I was in her mind that was the thing. I have never been in anyone's mind before. But when she was punching I saw her hands she had on rings. They were so pretty. Defiantly a girl," I told them.
Angel chuckled "Only you would remember seeing a ring during a vision," he told me.
"Well I couldn't help it. She was banging on the coffin. The rings were so pretty. I think it was silver. It was familiar but I can't place it," I told him getting defensive.
"I think that we really need to find this woman Angel, I think that it's important," I told them.
"I think maybe you are right Cordy. Why don't you go home and get some sleep,"
Fred and Gunn walked in the front door. "Hey why all the sad faces," said Gunn grinning from ear to ear. We just looked at Cordy who just shook her head no, they didn't need to worry about her vision." Dude you should have seen the movie. Shrek was cool," Gunn told us and continued to babble about the movie and Eddie and a donkey.
No one noticed the front door had opened
"Hello," said a very tiny voice at the door.
"Hi, can we help you?" asked Fred
"I thought I told you never to come here again." I snarled. I had already vamped out. I looked up and was shocked by what i saw.
"Alrighty, I guess not," said Gunn completely confused
"You are not invited here, Now leave," I said in a low voice. I looked at Wesley who had grabbed a crossbow but he had this odd expression on his face.
"Um Angel maybe you should talk to her," he whispered to Angel.
"Angelus I...,"
"Don't you DARE," he roared and I turned to face her.
************************************************************************
Part 6
I froze. Was this Darla? She was leaning against the door like it was holding her up.
She looked Horrible. Her hair was just clinging and it looked greasy. I know she's a vampire but she was so pale she looked like she was a ghost. You could almost see right through her. Her eyes had always been a vibrant ice cold blue. She was skin and bones. When was the last time she ate? Darla had always made it a point to make sure she was in fashion and she was dressed in sweat pants and a T-shirt and an oversized jacket.
Wesley and Cordy were looking at her with a mixture of interest and fear. Gunn and Fred were just trying to figure out what was going on.
"Darla?" I said hesitantly, "What happened to you?"
She looked at me, and she gave me a small smile and said. "Can I come in? I won't hurt your human friends. Besides look at the shape I'm in." She paused. "If I tried anything you could take me out she told me."
She had a point. By now the others had figured out she was a vampire. I saw Gunn grab a stake. Cordy just ducked behind me. She knew Darla and she knew that Darla was strong. Wes still had the crossbow aimed at Darla's heart.
I nodded and invited her in. "Come in Darla," We had done a deinvitation spell from the last time she was here.
She said "Thank you." Darla said thank you I wondered?
As she started to walk in she didn't seem to have enough energy to walk in. She looked like she was about to faint. She started to stumble. As she fell, Gunn thought she looked so tiny and helpless, and he couldn't help himself. He reached out to stop her from falling.
I was "Yelling at him to let her fall. You don't know what she's capable of." I yelled. I rushed over to where he was holding her and I actually heard her say, "thank you." Again with the thank yous?
"I'm so sorry," she said. Sorry did she just say sorry?
"Please let me help you up," Gunn told her.
"No you don't understand she's evil; she's the nastiest bitch there is," I told him.
He just gave me a look and picked her up and took her to the couch. Fred came rushing over and asked her if she needed anything.
"No thank you," she said shyly.
DARLA, SHY???? What the hell??? I pushed Gunn and Fred away from Darla. "Get away from her, You don't have a clue who she is," I yelled. I looked over at Wes and I'm glad to see he still has that damn cross bow still aimed at her heart glad to know someone still has some sense, Cordy is standing behind him now.
"Stop this now Darla, stop playing the innocent we know that you will never play that part again," I growl. I'm still in my vamp face. "I want to know why the hell you are here?" I demand.
Then she looks up at me.............. The world stops for a few seconds. Her eyes are not as cold as I remember, and I see what other people must see in my eyes. Buffy once told me that sometimes she could see the pain and suffering that bare on my shoulders in my eyes. Well for once I can it in someone else.
"Dear God, you have a soul?" I questioned. "Yes," she whispered.
I come closer and kneel down in front of her and ask "How did this happen?"
She looks at me and she says, "Honestly I really don't know but I got it about eight months ago,"
"Eight months ago?" I ask.
"Yes, you remember don't you Angel," She said with a sneer. I flinch I remembering.
"Eight months ago I tried to take your soul and 8 months ago I received my soul,"she told me.
"Interesting," Wesley said.
"Hold up, you told me you never slept with her you tried to lose your soul," Cordy Yelled!
"How could you do this to me?" She demanded.
"What I don't remember doing anything to you Cordelia?" I tell her confused.
"Well lets see here mister," you could see the misery in her eyes, "As soon as you lost your soul you would have killed me in a heart beat," she said.
I didn't even say anything she was right. I would have murdered them all. I didn't even realize that. I look around the room and I see it in there eyes they all realize this. All except Fred who has no idea what's going on.
"I..I.. I'm sorry," I stutter.
"Screw you," she yells and walks over to Darla and sits down.
"Well Darla looks like me and you are having one hell of a night," she tells her. Darla gives her a bitter smile, "Yes but it gets better."
Cordy snickers," oh please oh Queen Darla tell us."
"Well I received my soul eight months ago, but I also received one other thing as well. Surprise Angelus your going to be a daddy," she said with a huge grin.
"Well that's a shocker," said Cordy.
"Well I think we can figure out the part about the one will be born from two undead," muttered Wesley. "I guess I will work on translating the other part of the scroll."
"Umm actually this may be even more of a shocker, the baby has a heartbeat," said Darla in a small voice.
Not a single sound was heard in the hotel.

Part 7
LA county Jail
She was gasping for air. Her lungs were aching for precious air. She clutched her throat. She had tears streaming down her face and she finally screamed. She realized she couldn't move. She started kicking and clawing! Finally she screamed!
"Williams keep it down in there," a guard called out.
Faith woke up with a start. Holy shit she thought. What the hell was that? I have never had a dream like that before. What was that? Scared the shit out of me, she thought as she panted. I think I may need to see a nurse. "I can barely breath," I pant.
As I sit up, I drag my hands through my hair and I notice blood all over my hands. "What the" I whisper.
I take a closer look. I'm getting freaked out. I haven't been in a fight in a long time. But my hands look like I have just been in one hell of a fight. My knuckles are bloody and bruised. Huh, I think? I have been here the entire time. I look around the room and giggle to myself and think maybe it was aliens. I'm going crazy I have to try to think of something happier. I turn and look behind me on the wall and I see scratches.
Oh dear god, I whisper and grow pale. I see blood flowing down the wall. I place my hand where the marks are and it's a perfect match. It was my hand that made the marks. I did this? I instantly throw up.
I crawl back to my bunk and shutter and start to cry.
Angel, I need to call him
************************************************************************
Part 8
Hyperion Hotel:
"What the hell did you do?" whispered Cordy.
"There is no way in hell," I tell them. "I'm a vampire people, I shoot blanks." I can remember telling Buffy that I could never have children and seeing the look on her face. If only I thought. If only this was her child.
"He's right," Wesley says.
Thank god someone is thinking straight I growl.
"But Angel there is that Prophecy and your name was mentioned and you know the two undead and one will be born. Hello proof standing right here," sneered Cordy
"Right Angel, your shooting blanks and I defiantly don't have eggs," sneered Darla.
"Look," she said and lifted up her baggy sweatshirt up to her breast and pulled down her sweat pants slightly under her belly and we could still see she was skinny but there it was. It was obviously she was defiantly pregnant.
"Holy shit," Wesley said
"Wesley," said a shocked Cordy. Wesley never swore.
"Oh wow," said Gunn.
I backed up. Darla advanced.
"What you're going to just run away. You have something here you never thought you would ever have Angel. You have a child. Hell you have a human child," she whispered.
I pointed to her stomach "That is not possible," I tell her.
"I know its not possible but it is, and now I have a precious gift and I have a second chance. No, we my dear boy have a second chance," she told me
I walked slowly towards her this was not possible. I had always wanted a child. My demon had even wanted a child. Always possessive. As I got closer I could hear the heartbeat and I was thrilled. A human child?
"How" I whispered. "How is this possible? Wesley, you have to get your books."
"Angel, There is something wrong with me. I'm hungry really hungry," Darla whispered.
I looked at her she did look really pale. She was skin and bones. She only looked like she was about 5 months pregnant at the most.
"I will get you something to eat," I told her.
As I walked into the kitchen I felt someone following me. "Angel I think that there is something seriously wrong with Darla. She looks to be about 5 months pregnant but she's claiming to be eight months pregnant," Wesley said.
" I know but the heartbeat I heard was extremely strong Wesley, maybe we should keep an eye on her," I said
"Angel about the scrolls they mentioned a few other things that I need to research but I think we should keep them a secret from Darla at the moment," he said.
"I agree"
Before we could walk back into the room I heard a scream.
I dropped the mugs and ran back into the room. What I saw made my blood run cold.
"Dear god," says Wesley.
"More like Fuck is the word I was thinking about," I whispered.
Looking around the room I see Gunn is standing about 5 feet from Darla with a crossbow in his hands. His hands are shaking but the bow is aimed directly at her heart.
Directly behind him is Cordelia whose hand was covered with blood. The blood wasn't her blood. The blood was Fred's; Cordy had her hand to Fred's neck. Darla had bitten Fred.
"Bitch," Cordy yelled.
"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry," sobbed Darla.
I finally looked at her to see she was standing there. She wasn't running she wasn't standing in the corner. She looked like she was hoping that Gunn would fire that crossbow. She was shaking. She was pale and she was covered with blood. That was weird. Most vampires try not to make a mess. Darla had pushed Fred away and the blood had splattered on her.
"What the hell happened? " I snapped.
"Your whore decided to snack on Fred and now she's going to die," snapped Gunn.
"So you're going to kill a human child?" I asked him? "Just lower the cross bow.
"Hey we have no clue if that thing is human just because it has a heartbeat, there is no telling who shes been screwing," said Cordy.
Hmm that's true I thought.
"There is no way I'm lowering this crossbow," He said.
"No Angel, I can't be trusted," Darla said.
I looked at her. "I'm hungry im really hungry. Animal blood isn't working. I've tried it. I can't be around humans. I have been stealing from blood banks," she admitted.
"How could you do that?" Cordy said.
"That's for sick humans," said Gunn.
"Look I don't care who you are but at this moment im hungry. I have a craving for blood and I can't seem to get enough of it. I don't know why. This child is human and im nourishing is so I am doing what any mother would do. I'm not human, give me a break, "she snapped.
"You people need to leave, "Darla said and to make her point she licked her lips. "Guys I think you need to leave," I said. I saw the expressions on my friend's faces and I knew that I made some enemies this night. I had just gotten over the other episode and now this. Will it ever end?
"Guys just trust me, please," I begged!
Gunn snorted, Fred, just looked to the floor where her blood was dripping
"You didn't even bother to ask if Fred was ok," Cordy said.
Damnit I am always in shit with Cordelia.
"Fred are you ok?" I asked.
She just looked at him with those big puppy eyes and said, "yes, Darla tried to bite me but she backed off when she realized what she was doing. Angel there is something wrong with her."
"Goodnight Angel, you disappoint m," Cordelia whispered. She walked out the door with Fred who had said she was not spending a night in this hotel with Darla.
That really hurt.
"Who could blame the girl," muttered Gunn. I didn’t bother to look at him but instead focused on Fred limping out of the hotel.
"Who would want to live with two killers," said Gunn pointing the cross bow at both of us. Ouch, he hates me and he always will they all said their good nights except Wesley who had locked himself in his office to translate more of the scrolls.
"Come on Darla and ill get you a room," I told her.
"I'm not sharing a room with you?" she asked.
Um no I have gotten use to sleeping alone," I told her. She pouted and I thought about caving in but Buffy's face popped up and I just cant not right now I thought.
I placed Darla in her bed and she basically passed out. I took this opportunity to place my hand on her belly and I felt the baby. My baby kick. I grinned. I have a child. I couldn't believe this. How was this possible? I knelt down to hear the heart beat. I wanted to hear it. I whispered to him or her. That I promised that no harm would ever come to it. I would make it proud. I would be a good Father. For a minute I wanted to kiss Darla's belly and then I realized it wasn't Buffy's. My sweet beloved, If only it were you. In a way im glad you're not here to see this. It would hurt you deeply, I think. I feel tears start to fall. I walk out of the room and shut the door.
**********************************************************************
Part 8
Sunnydale
Beep Beep Beep
God what was that noise? It's so loud, my head feels like its about to split in two. Groaning I slowly open my eyes and quickly shut them. Stupid idea, Buffy, bright light!
"Damnit" I mutter. My eyes feel super sensitive. Why are my eyes sensitive to light? I slowly open one eye at a time and let each one adjust to the light. A pair of sunglasses would be wonderful. I look around the room and realize with a start that im in a hospital room. Now why am in the hospital? Did I get hurt? I remember Glory, but I don't remember getting hurt? Dawn I think with a panic? I start to get up but I feel something holding my hand. I look down to see a familiar blond head. Now why is he here holding my hand?
"Hey," I whisper. I got absolutely no response. I try again this time louder, didn't work. I giggle it was like trying to wake the dead.
Hehehe I couldn't help it I saw a cup of ice at the side of my bed so... I reached over and grabbed it. A few minutes later Spike looked like he was doing the Snoopy dance.
"Good morning," I said cheerfully. However I was wondering what the hell he was doing here. I expected him to give me a nasty retort or the finger or something but instead he reached over and gave me a hug. I was too shocked to do anything.
"Umm hello to you too," I said. He just grinned. This was just wigging me out. Maybe I was in a coma or on some really good drugs.
"Spike, how did the battle go? Did we win? How is Dawn, is everyone ok? I asked in a hurry.
"What is wrong with me I feel fine except for the scratches on my hand. How did I get these and I feel like im out of breath? Why am I here? "Why are you here anyway?" I bombarded him with more questions before he could even answer the first ones.
He just looked at me with a sad expression. Spike and sad expressions? That mad me uneasy. He came and sat down on the bed that made me even more uneasy.
"Buffy, how much do you remember?" he started.
"Buffster," greeted Xander and the next thing I knew I surrounded by Xander and Willow, Tara and Anya.
"Hey guys," I greeted.
Willow just stood there in the corner looking shy and pale. She was shaking and crying. Something was very wrong here.
"Tell me," I demanded. What the hell is going on? I started to get up and Spike pushed me back. I pushed as hard as I could back and the next thing I knew I was flat on my back. How could he do that his chip should have gone off? I looked up at him.
"Spike," I whispered.
"Call me Will," he said and I looked in to the bluest eyes that I have ever seen. I have a soul he whispered.
"Huh?" I asked
"It's a long story and ill tell you later," he said. I just nodded and gazed into another emotional set of eyes i had ever looked into.
I sat up.
"Buffy the date is August 28,2001," he whispered. Three months I think. Huh that cant be right.
"What how can that be right? Did I get hurt?" I asked
"Not exactly you took Dawns place it was too late, you ... "he trailed off.
"I remember I took her place, I jumped," I whispered.
"Then what am I doing here," I asked.
I heard a hiccup in the corner. The witch. Pure raw pain shoots threw me I just want to hit something or someone.
"You didn't?" I asked.
" I'm.. I'm im sorry Buffy I didn't think it would actually work. I missed you so much that I threw all my energy into finding something. I convinced the others to come out to the graveyard with me last night," she cried.
Willow was crying hysterically and Tara put her arm on her shoulders.
"Oh Buffy I'm sorry I really am I didn't think it would work," she sobbed.
I just looked at her. "How could you? You brought me back to this hell. Does this mean im the slayer again"?
I can't be with my Angel this time around either so nothing has changed. So basically I'm basically in hell?" cried.
"But Buffy," She brought you back from hell,,"Xander said.
I just stared at him like he was crazy
I watched as Willow fell to her knees. "I'm sorry," she sobbed. I didn't bother to get up and go to her but I did ask her to promise me that if I die again to not bring me back with a small grin. It was all I could conjure up. It was either that or kill her.
"Where is Dawn?" I asked looking around. You would think she would be here.
There was a long silence? "Um guys, Dawn, Giles Are they at home?" I asked again.
"Oh no," said Anya.
" Shhh," said Xander trying to shut her up.
"Shut up Anya," said Willow.
I looked at them, "No Anya please go on," I said. Obviously there is something that needs to be said.
"Well," she grinned very happy to be in the spot light. "Xander and I are engaged," I blinked and I said "Good for you what about the Dawn and Giles." "Oh," she said "Giles Left for England and your dad came and took Dawn to LA and he sold your house," she said.
"What!" I yelled.
**********************************************************************************************
Part 9
I feel the tears fall down my face. I'm standing in front of my old house, which has already has been sold. Well at least the new owners look nice. Who would want to live in Sunnydale anyway?
With a sigh I head off to Tara and Willow's new House. They are renting a nice little place. And when I say little I mean little. It's a one bedroom. Guess whose sleeping on the couch? I wont be staying there very long. What am I going to do? I have no money. I have no job skills. What am I suppose to type up on my resume? Become slayer, died, came back to life, work in the Initiative, Initiative tried to kill me, died, and came back to life. Hmm I'm thinking there is a pattern here. I'm pathetic.
Hey on the plus side I have clothes. Oh ya only clothes would cheer me up. Willow and Xander broke into my house before my dad sold all the items in it and boxed up the pictures and all my clothes. Woohoo for them. They actually did something right I think bitterly. The past day and half I have started to get cold. I don't know what it is but I don't really want to be around anyone. Especially Willow. I know I told her that I forgave her, I don't want to be around here. I know she knows that. It's a little awkward around at her house. Honestly I don't. I don't want to be here. I would rather be dead. I don't have anything.
The only person that I'm really talking to is Will. And honestly that is really strange because I'm use to calling him Spike and I'm use to him trying to kill me. It's very strange. While I was stuck in the hospital yesterday he brought me a VCR. Which was very nice and rented me a ton of movies. He remembered I was a movie junkie. He mentioned that I would be bored so this would keep me entertained.
He even changed clothes. I'm use to well the one outfit Spike owned. The black jeans the black shirt. He's now wearing a white sweater and blue jeans and I think those are tennis shoes? HUH I'm on drugs cause spikes hair is the same color of my regular hair minus the Clairol number 9. Basically sandy blond.
Spike with a soul is shy. He doesn't say too much unless he has something to say. He's still witty. But he's deeper. He actually rented Princess Bride for me? No way.
"Cool," I mutter.
"Here I think you might like this one too, it just came out," he says.
"What this looks Corny," I tell him
"Its called Moulin Rouge," He says while I'm reading the box. Hmm maybe this could be interesting after all. He picked this out?
"Isn't this chick married to Tom Cruz?" I asked.
"Nope and she's not a chick," he says.
"She's not since when and you don't say chick anymore?" I ask.
"They divorced and it's not nice to say chick," he tells me. Uh huh, I think. He's a really party pooper,
"Oh geez, pop in the movie," I say and try to ignore him and for two hours I sat enthralled.
As I watched this love scene I thought about Angel my beloved Angel. Satine and Christian having to hide their love affair. I loved it. I loved the music. I loved everything about it and she died and at least Christian gave a damn I thought bitterly. Ok so I'm bitter.
"I want this I," I told him.
"I figured you would," He said with a smirk. He threw a copy of the sound track at me.
I pouted, "I want the movie too."
Ta da he said. a copy of the move flew at my head. So maybe soul boy isn't that bad. I could use a good friend. I'm glad he doesn't look at me like the old Spike did. I can tell he doesn't love me like the old one did. I need a friend.
I see the lights are on at Tara's house. I'm hoping Will is there I want to get in a quick patrol before we leave tonight. I walk in I can see they are all waiting for me.
Willow quickly stops what she's doing and says, "Hey how are you?" She's trying to get in my good graces.
"I'm ok," I tell her coolly and I just walk by her , I just cant help it. The more I see her the more I want to vomit.
"Hey," says Will, gag he's reading again. He's reading a play he wants me to read. He says that culture will help me. Blah blah blah
"Hey you want to patrol with me?" I ask.
Don't you think it's too early?" Willow says.
"Don't you think you need to mind your own business? Isn't this why I'm back?" I snap.
"No, your back because we missed you," She says and burst into tears.
"Buffy," Says Will.
"I'm not sorry, I just cant, I cant deal with this," I tell him and walk out the door.
He follows me out "Are you sure you're up for this," He asks.
I sigh, "If your going to be a pain then go back," I tell him.
"Buffy stop being like this," he tells me.
"Like what?" I ask.
"Like a bitch," He says.
"Look I'm sorry but I just can't help it. Look lets just patrol," I tell him. We continue in silence.
"Slayer, I heard you were back," An ugly vampire hissed.
"Whose we?" I said completely bored. I whipped out my stake.
"Us," I hear growling behind me.
I just shrug and start singing.
I threw my stake at the vamp in front of me and I kicked the one coming to me. I did a summersault to where my stake landed and went to work on deleting the pack.

"Your dead slayer," He said.
"Um hello look around you I just dusted all your buddies," I said.
"They were stupid and young," he said. Well that's familiar.
"Oh your pathetic and I threw my stake," Dusted. I turned to Will and sang the rest of the song
He bowed and he clapped. She did have an amazing voice. "You know pet you should really do something with that voice."
I skipped over to him like a child. "You think?" she said.
"Yes. Um do you realize that you took out fifteen vampires in less that three minutes. You took them out before the song was over," he told her.
Hmm I frowned. "Yes I know I feel stronger. Something is different," I said.
"Who knows," I said with a shrug and kept walking like I didn't have a care in the world. "Come on Will we need to get to LA to see Dawn."
"Hey Buff are we stopping at a certain hotel to see a certain vampire?" he whispers.
I actually stumbled but I don't say anything instead I just keep walking to Xander's car.

"Oh your pathetic and I threw my stake," Dusted. I turned to Will and sang the rest of the song
He bowed and he clapped. She did have an amazing voice. "You know pet you should really do something with that voice."
I skipped over to him like a child. "You think?" she said.
"Yes. Um do you realize that you took out fifteen vampires in less that three minutes. You took them out before the song was over," he told her.
Hmm I frowned. "Yes I know I feel stronger. Something is different," I said.
"Who knows," I said with a shrug and kept walking like I didn't have a care in the world. "Come on Will we need to get to LA to see Dawn."
"Hey Buff are we stopping at a certain hotel to see a certain vampire?" he whispers.
I actually stumbled but I don't say anything instead I just keep walking to Xander's car.
Part 10
The gang was sitting at Cornelia's house. They refused to go to the hotel because of Darla. They were meeting there for a daily meeting.
"Look can we hurry this up? I don't want to leave Darla alone for very long. I locked her up," I said very annoyed.
"Did you chain her up?" sneered Cordy.
"No I didn't," I said.
"You should have," She looks at Fred and snapped. Poor Fred had not said a word. She was still shaking.
"You know what Angel we don't even need you, just go back to your Whore and your precious baby," yelled Cordy.
I winced but my temper was about to explode. I looked around the room and Gunn was nodding and Wesley had his nose stuck in a book.
"Angel, Cordelia is still upset," Wesley said, never looking up.
"I am not." she yelled.
All of a sudden, she stumbled, "Vision," she yelled. I went to grab her but she never fell instead she went into a fighting stance and hit him. Huh, I thought it wasn't a powerful punch but Cordy doesn't know how to fight but she was acting out the motions perfectly. The weirdest thing was she was singing.
Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya dada (da-da-da)
"Good god, shut her up," Gunn yelled.
All of a sudden she fell. Wesley who was watching this with wide eye fascination grabbed her.
"What the hell was that?" I asked.
Cordy came too and was shaking. "Wow, was I singing?" she asked.
"Yes you were girlfriend and please do NOT quit your day job, you rank right up there with Angel," said Gunn.
"Hey," Cordy and I snapped.
"Was that from Moulin Rouge?" asked Fred. That was the first time she had said anything.
"Hmmm, Yes it was one of the movies that I enjoyed this year," said Wesley I think it was good, I actually liked it".
Gunn just stared at him. "Wes we have to get you out more," He said grinning.
I hated the movie but Buffy would have loved the movie, I thought. "Now Cordy why the hell were you singing and why did you hit me?" I asked her.
"Good, you deserved it," she grinned.
"Actually I had another vision. I was surrounded by vampires maybe about fifteen or so and the girl was singing. Hey it was the same girl from my other vision," She told us.
Shit, I forgot. I was so completely lost with my own thoughts about Darla and this baby. "Oh and this time I saw a man with her. He spoke to her he didn't mention a name but he was British," She said.
"British you say," catching Wesley's attention. Cordy nodded
"And the girl was fighting vamps" he asked her. She nodded again. "You think maybe she's a slayer in training?" he looked at me.
I looked at Wesley like he was crazy." Now how many slayers in training do you know who can take out that many vampires?" I asked him.
"True," Wesley said.
My cell phone started ringing. "Hello," I said.
"Um is this Angel," said a small but familiar voice.
"Yes it is, is this Faith?" I asked. Wesley and Cordelia's heads shot up at hearing her name.
"Yes," she said. "What do you want?" I growled.
Taken back she started to stumble over her words. "I I I umm ummm I have been umm having these dreams and I thought you would like to know about them," she said clearer. "Maybe you could help the person since I cant do anything," She mumbled.
Taken back I felt ashamed. "I'm sorry Faith tell me about your dreams?" I asked
"Actually can I talk to Wesley since he use to be my Watcher if he's around? She asked.
"Oh, OK hold on," Slightly hurt. I handed the phone to Wes and watched along with everyone else as he just nodded and said "Dear God a dew times and cleaned his glasses and actually laughed. Then he went back to his books like the phone call never happened.
"Umm hello, you want to tell us what the psycho Slayer said?" asked Cordy.
"Hmm oh she called to let me know that she dreamed the exact same thing that you are having visions about," He told them.
"Well, that's another shocker," She mused.
"Why are the PTB sending Faith and me the same visions?" She asked, I was thinking the same thing.
"Very good question," mused Wesley.
"Look I need to get out of here," I said.
"Oh right you need to run home to your new family," sneered Fred. All heads popped up at that one. Fred had an expression of hate on her face.
"Fred," I tried.
"You know what Angel don't try. I will be by as soon as I can to get my belongings. The bitch bit me and you don't care," she cried.
Cordy put her arms around her and gave me a nasty look. I sighed and walked to the door.
"Angel I'll be around the hotel in a few hours. I think I may have the answers you need. Translating this is easier than I thought," said Wesley.
"Thank God," I said.
"Look, you are my family. I don't want anything to happen to any of you but I'm about to have a child something I never thought I would ever have and granted it's with Darla. I will do anything to protect this child. Are we not in the business to protect souls? Well this child has a soul. He or she is human to our knowledge," I snapped before walking out the door.
************************************************************************
Part 11
Ten minutes later we pulled up in the driveway to a very expensive house. "Wow," I whispered.
"Ya," Buffy said bitterly.
"Why mom worked for everything we had my dad had everything. My mom refused any help from him though. She said it made her stronger," she said with a grin. "Blah Blah blah though, she still could have taken the money, it would have helped to pay for all the furniture and the doors and the windows the occasional demons would break," she grinned.
"Occasionally?" I said.
"Ok so on a daily basis. I'm still wondering how she managed to pay for it all. Do you know how much a new door cost?" she asked. Damn the house was huge. No wonder Buffy was bitter. We got out of the car and Buffy lifted her head and squared her shoulders and I watched, as her eyes got colder. Oh boy I thought this should be fun. She knocked on the door and in about two minutes a lady answered the door that looked to be about in her 40's.She looked at us without smiling.
"Look whatever you're trying to sale we are not buying so good-bye," and she shut the door.
"Bitch," said Buffy.
"Um Pet who was that?" I asked.
"I have no idea but I don't like her. Poor Dawnie has to be stuck with her," she said.
I felt sorry for Niblet already. Buffy knocked again.
The same lady answered. This time she was annoyed. "I said we were not buying."
"Look lady we are not selling anything," said a very pissed off Buffy.
"DAWN," yelled Buffy.
The lady looked stunned "Who the hell are you," she asked.
"I'm Buffy Ann Summers, so who the hell are you?" Buffy asked.
"Where is my Father?" She snapped and with that Buffy walked right past her and then said "William please come in."
I walked in.
Dawn looked at her sister and was in shock. "Buffy" she whispered. Looking ready to faint. Buffy opened her arms and whispered Dawnie. That's all it took and Dawn took off running to her arms and gave her sister a hug that took her breath away.
"What the HELL is going on?" Asked an angry voice.
"Hello Daddy," Said Buffy in a very cold voice.
"Buffy," he said shocked, "Your dead they said you were dead," he whispered.
"No I wasn't dead, I was kidnapped and beaten and tortured and left for dead and I made my way home to find my house sold and burial plot with my name on it,"Buffy cried.
"Daddy, daddy," Buffy was crying.
After a few minutes more of watching her lying and crying I thought i was going to gag although she was doing a pretty good job of making the old man believe her story. How anyone would believe this whooper was unthinkable. He was a complete sucker. The man was over there giving her a credit card.
Buffy said her goodbyes to her dad. As soon as the door was shut and she looked back to make sure no one was peaking through the windows Buffy couldn't help but Laugh. Morons she said.
"Buffy, I missed you so much, but how?" asked Dawn.
"One name Willow," snapped Buffy.
Dawn was taken back. "You don't want to be back?" she asked.
Buffy sighed, "Dawn its not that its just that things are harder you know and now you're here with dad and im the slayer again. It's just harder," she said.
"Dawn remember if you need anything just give Willow or Xander a call and they will get touch of me," Buffy said.
"Hey Dawn who was that lady anyway, I defiantly don't like her?" Buff said.
"Oh me either she's dads new girlfriend, her names Diana, she's blah," said Dawn.
"Hey I missed you too," Dawn said running up to the person she thought was Spike. He grabbed her around the waist and spun her.
"Hey Niblet, I missed you," I said.
"Hey what happened to you clothes and your hair?" she asked.
That's when Buffy chimed in "Oh, Mr. William here decided to do something nice and "Pray for my life" and BAM he now has a soul." Buffy was grinning like an idiot.
Dawn was staring at him. "WOW," she whispered. "That is so cool. Too bad about the hair. I always liked it ,"she said with a shrug.
"We have to go Dawn," Buffy said, she gave her sister one last hug.
When they got in the car Buffy said "Get on the I-10 Will,"
"What for we need the 15 to get home," He told her.
"Yes I know but we are going to visit the other vampire in this city with a soul," She whispered.
I looked at her, damn I thought I really didn't want to go. "Um I think I will stay in the car," I told her.
She gave me a nasty look, "Thanks for the back up," She sneered.
"No problem," I told her.
As we pulled up to the Hyperion hotel I saw lights on. I sure hope there isn't a party going on as I climbed out of the car.
**************************************************************************************
Part 12
I saw the lights on as I walked in the hotel. Damn I thought I had locked her door. Not that I had actually thought it would keep her in her room, but maybe she would stay asleep long enough till I came home.
"Hey," she called out with a smile. She really was very pretty.
"Hey," I smiled back. Thank god I thought she's still here.
"I got hungry. Um we are out of food," she mumbled.
"Its ok, I stopped," I said holding up a paper bag.
"What is it pigs blood?" she asked making a face.
Um no I said guilty, "Its human. "Please don't ask me any more questions." I pulled out a few bags from a blood bank.
"Thank you," she muttered. She took the paper bag from me and walked towards the kitchen while I stayed behind.
Meanwhile in the kitchen.
Thank you God. I didn't know how much longer I was going to have to drink that nasty animal blood, I thought while I was heating up the blood. The baby moved and I grinned. Soon I thought, Angel will be all mine.
"Angel," I said while walking back into the main part of the hotel.
I sat the mugs down. "You have to feel this," I told him.
The baby just moved. "Feel" and I picked up his hand. As soon as the baby kicked Darla suddenly stumbled and started to faint but I felt Angel pick me. Hmm I could get use to this again.
Standing out side crying I wondered why I had ever wanted to come here. He obviously had gotten over me.
"Darla and Angel," I whispered. She stumbled back to the car. I never made it. Will caught me before I fell.
"Damn you Angel," he cursed.
**************************************************************************************
part 13
As soon as I got Angel's called I rushed over to the hotel. Darla was leaking milk? That wasn't possible. Incredible simply incredible.
"Angel, where are you?" I called
"Up here Wesley," I heard from the top of the stairs.
I dropped the scrolls and the books that I had brought along with me and I ran up the stairs as fast as I could.
"Angel," I called again. As I looked in his room. He was sitting on the bed and motioned for me to come in. He put his finger on his lips and whispered, "She's sleeping."
I sat down on the bed and I was like a kid in a candy store. "Is she really leaking milk?" I asked.
He just nodded and pointed to her shirt. I looked and I was in awe, there was all the proof I needed. Her entire shirt was soaked. She's a vampire. This was so cool I thought. First she gets pregnant and now she has milk? That means she's going to nurse. Hmmm nurse I thought. That mentally triggered something. But before I could say something. Darla whom we both thought was asleep, suddenly in a flash grabbed my neck.
"Angel," I gasped.
He was struggling with her, and he had his arms around her waist but Darla seemed stronger than he was.
"Get her off," I yelled, struggling to breathe.
"Darla let him go," He yelled.
Finally Angel and I gave a push and Darla was thrust onto the bed.
"Jesus," I cried, checking my neck. I didn't think she had sunk her fangs in my neck but I sure was going to have one hell of a bruise where her hands were.
"I'm so hungry, I need food," moaned Darla and she doubled over and passed out. Angel actually looked afraid to go over to check on her.
"Well go on," I told him.
He just looked at me "No you do it".
"I don't think so, she's your mate or sire or whatever," I told him.
He walked over and checked on her and she was indeed passed out. She was shaking and still leaking milk.
Milk I think and that's when it hits me again and I run downstairs. I don't even look at him, I have work to do.
**************************************************************************************
Part 14
I'm sitting here fuming. Buffy is still passed out from crying. That damn bastard. I still have no idea what happened.
Damnit I cant stand it any longer.
"Buffy, wake up," I snap. She groans.
"Wake up," I snap again.
She looks over to me with the saddest expression I have ever seen.
"What is it?" I ask her.
Her lips tremble. "I think he's moved on," She's whispered
I snort," Angel hasn't moved on"
"Yes, He had Darla with him, and they were all cuddly," she tells me.
"Huh," Now that was a shocker.
"Um Will, this is going to be a weird question, but Angel told me once that vampires could not have children is that true?"
"Yes, love that's true, why do you ask?" he said.
I see her pale "Oh because Darla is pregnant," She whispered.
I slam on the breaks in the middle of I-10 interstate.
