Lost Time

Summary:

"I, we.... Angel I'm pregnant." Buffy said watching Angel look up, shock all over his face.

Notes:

* * Denotes thought

Also between the sex there is much slayage. It's not nearly as much fun. So I let you assume it's happening.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

--------------------------------------------
Post episode Lovers Walk
--------------------------------------------

"I, we.... Angel I'm pregnant." Buffy said watching Angel look up, shock all over his face.

"Scott?" his voice filled with anger.

"Uh no. Not Scott. He dumped me remember? It's yours Angel, you're the only one I've been with."

"Its not possible Buffy. Vampires can't."

"Well, obviously it is. I'm 4 months pregnant." she was a little pissed off that he actually didn't believe her.

"Buffy, 4 months ago I didn't have a..... soul." An awful realization hit him. He didn't remember anything he had done when he was a demon this time. He new re ensoulment spell had blocked that. Unfortunately it still had the happy clause, Willow couldn't reverse it.

"Buffy, when I was brought back from hell, you told me I hadn't done anything drastic, I asked you pointedly if I had raped you because I know my demon well. You said no."

She looked at the floor.

"You didn't rape me Angel." he looked at her the horror dawning on him. She had had consensual sex with his demon counterpart, or she was lying.

His state of mind lately was only able to accept the fact that she was lying, for the other was unforgivable.

"Buffy... I... I... just don't believe this. I hate to say this but I think you should leave. Spike was right about a lot we can't be friends. You’re right; we're more than that. Or I thought we were."

Buffy walked away knowing he felt she was lying to him. She had no real proof, other than she knew it had happened. She didn't know how it was possible, but she was having Angel's baby one way or another. He'd believe her one-day.

----------------------------------------------
During episode Amends

Buffy is 6 months Pregnant
-----------------------------------------------

"It's not the Demon in me that needs killing, it's the man." (Angel)

Moments later

"Am I a thing worth saving, huh? Am I a righteous man? The world wants me gone." Angel said, grabbing her roughly.

"What about me? I love you so much. And I tried to make you go away. I killed you and it didn't help. And I hate it! I hate that it's so hard, and that you can hurt me so much! I know everything that you did, because you did it to me! I wish that I wished you dead. I don't. I can't. Now I'm pregnant, and you’re just going to burn up. You don't have to believe me Angel. Go ahead, be a coward. Burn. Leave me alone to raise our child. If I can’t stop you nothing can,” she said as he moved away from her.

Both standing it starts to snow.

Buffy's Birthday

Buffy 7 months pregnant
-------------------------------------------------

"I'm leaving Buffy, I can't be near you and not have you. I just find it impossible believe that the baby is mine. But for your sake and the child's I'm leaving. I'll keep in touch. You were right I can make amends. I can make a difference, just not here. I'll make sure you’re taken care of. Just trust me when I say if I stay my demon will return. It's harder daily to see you and not take comfort in you."

For some reason she really couldn't comprehend, she knew he was right. He had never even so much as touched her anywhere for fear of where it would lead. Mr. Cryptic guy was back in full force. She only nodded and let him leave without an argument. He still didn't believe the baby was his. She'd not tried harder to convince him.
