"What have you brought me?" the female Oracle asked, getting right to the point, unlike her brother who was less mature than she. Angel held up the beautiful brown vase and said, "Femile rose vase. Ching dynasty. Cercut 1811." he tossed the vase to her, and she caught it with ease. "Well..?" the male Oracle prodded. "I need to know why I still have the strength of a vampire." Angel told them. All the bruises he aquired from the fight with the Morah demon had faded, which were few because he was able to fight as though he were still immortal, when Buffy showed up they finished the demon together. He bared broke a sweat. "If we were to take your strength away from you along with your demon, we would have jeprodized the life of the child that grows inside the Slayer." The female Oracle explained. "What? What child?" Angel asked. "The one that will stop the impureness in the world. The Chosen One of epic proportions. She shall be called Courtney, for she will be of our court, the higher court." The male explained further. Angel was in shock as he was thrown backwards out of the chamber. He picked himself up off the ground and went home to see his love. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buffy paced in the basement. After they had gotten back from killing Morah, they had gone back to bed until sunrise. When she awoke, he was gone. He left her a note, but all it said was Buffy, I have to take care of something, I love you, Angel. She hugged herself and rubbed her arms against the chill in Angel's sub-basement apartment. She heard a creak of the stairs and rushed to the bottom of the staircase. She looked up into his happy eyes. She couldn't help but smile back. "I'm guessing that expression is because you just bought me a engagement ring and are about to propose." Buffy said. Angel started down the rest of the stairs saying, "See, now you've ruined the surprise." he teased her. When the reached the bottom of the stairs he took her in his arms and gave her a 'hello/goodmorning' kiss, which she was more than happy to return. "No, really, where were you?" she asked him when they broke the kiss. "I went see the Oracles and they told me that.." he trailed off. "Told you what?" she asked, getting a little nervous, and dizzy for some reason. By the looks of his face it was something he was reluctant to say, but it makes him happy. "Your killing me with suspense, tell me." she begged. "Your pregnant." he blurted out. Buffy's eyes widened in surprise. "We're gonna have a little girl." he watched her eyes, her pupils dilated and she enexpectedly passed out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When Buffy awoke, the first thing she became aware of was that Angel was near and she was laying on a really hard, uncomforable bed. She inhale through her nose and got a nice whiff of hospital anti-septic. She opened her eyes and immediately looked over at Angel. He was sitting in a chair at her bedside, holding her hand tightly in his. "Angel?" she called to get his attention. He looked up at her face and a smile spread across it. He stood up and stoop to kiss her lips. "I was so worried about you." he said sitting on the bed, still holding her hand. "how do you feel?" he asked. Cupping her cheek. Buffy couldn't help but turn her face into his hand. "Good, actually. Why am I in the hospital?" she asked, wrinkling her nose in concentration, trying to remember. "I brought you were after you passed out at the apartment." he told her. She nodded her head. "Do you remember what happened?" he asked. "Yeah. I remember up to you telling me that we're gonna have a baby..." she trailed off when she saw his smile. "Your really loving the whole daddy idea, aren't you?" "Every last bit of it." he confessed. "Well, being a daddy is a lifetime deal, you better love it." she teased. Just then the doctor came in. "Okay, Mrs. Summers. Let's get you unhooked, so you can go home." the doctor said. "Good, let's get me outta this place." Buffy said eagerly. The doctor worked quickly and had you signing release papers and was out the door. "So, where to for lunch?" she asked. Angel put an arm around her. "Where ever you want to go." he answered. "You better be ready to dish out that money of yours. I expect major spoilage." she teased him. "And I'm just going to sit back and enjoy every last minute of it." he said with a giddy smile. Buffy just giggled and put her arms around his waist. The End |
