Chapter 2

“Xander, look out” yelled Buffy in warning of the vamp about to ambush him and Xander swung round just in time to block it’s attack.

The whole Scooby gang Willow, Buffy, Anya, Xander, and Giles were engaged in a full-scale vampire attack. Buffy had just slayed three before rushing over to help Willow and Anya who were in trouble, once she had killed that one she turned just in time to see Giles dust the one he’d been fighting with.

“Hey, a little help here people” shouted Xander, struggling on the floor with the last vampire and Buffy was about to race over to rescue him when someone else plunged a stake into the Vamp.

As the dust cleared Xander was stunned to be staring up at none other than Cordelia Chase, “Why I am not surprised to find you guys in the graveyard” she said, smiling, “Some things never change” She extended a hand to Xander, helping him back to his feet.

“Good lord, Cordelia” exclaimed Giles, breaking the silence as the rest of the gang stared at her in stunned silence.

“Don’t you know it rude to stare” said Cordy shortly, placing her hands on her hips in typical CC style.

“Sorry it’s just a shock to see you. I mean you’re here in Sunnydale not in LA,” replied Xander.

“Gee Xander, not much gets past you does it” she retorted and Xander shot a glare at her as he brushed the remaining dust of his shirt.

“This is Cordelia? As in Xander’s ex, Cordelia?” whispered Anya to Willow.

“Aa ha that’s our Cordy” replied Willow and Anya shifted uncomfortably on her feet, taking a few steps closer to Xander.

“Cordelia, not that it’s not nice to see you but what are you doing here?” asked Buffy, “Is it Angel? Is he…”

Anya cut Buffy’s questioning short, “You can’t have Xander back. He’s mine now and you can’t him” she babbled, taking a hold of Xander’s arm and he stumbled backwards as he was pulled closer to her.

“Relax jealous girl. I’m not here for Xander. I’m here because…”

Cordelia was interrupted as the gang’s attention was diverted towards a low pitch whimpering sound coming from behind one of the nearby gravestones. All eyes followed Cordelia as she lent down and unstrapped a baby from his car seat and lifted him safely into her arms.

“Shh, it’s alright honey, I’m here” cooed Cordelia at the baby, “What? You never seen a baby before?” she snipped when she saw everyone’s gob smacked expressions.

“Sure we have” replied Xander, “Just never thought I’d see you with one. Who’s is it? Oh my god is it yours?”

“Jump to conclusions much. No he’s not mine and he’s not an it, his name is Connor” answered Cordy, rocking Connor gently in an attempt to stop his crying.

Buffy remained silent her eyes firmly locked on the tiny baby boy resting in Cordy’s arms. She took a few steps closer and as she continued to stare at his angelic face, she knew. Reaching out, she softly stroked his cheek and the second Buffy’s hand touched him, Connor stopped crying. It was as if he knew her touch. It soothed him.

“Oh my god” gasped Buffy, her voice barley above a whisper.

The expression on Buffy’s face was one Giles recognised. It was full of pain and disbelief. He had seen it on her many times, too many. “Buffy, what is it?” he asked.

“He’s Angel’s son. Isn’t he?” Buffy looked up at Cordelia and she nodded in reply.

“Wait I don’t understand vampires can’t…I mean Angel couldn’t…” babbled Giles, clearly in need of back story.

“Look, I’ll explain everything. I will,” promised Cordy, “But first can we go somewhere warmer and a little less creepier than the graveyard”

“We can go back to mine” said Buffy, her eyes still locked on the baby.

“Thanks” smiled Cordy and the whole gang, including Cordy and the baby followed Buffy home.
