Connor sighed as he rested his elbows on his knees, watching the town of Santa Monica go about it’s daily business. Buffy and Connor had come back from Rome a year ago, happy, tanned and still in love.
Buffy was working at one of the museums, while Connor worked on getting some of the biggest music stars some massive hits in the charts. So far he had worked with Usher, Avril Lavigne, HIM and anyone who would work with him.
Connor had never been in touch with Angel or any of the fang gang after he left Los Angeles a year ago. He focused all his attention on Buffy and their life together. He wanted it to be perfect.
That was, until he saw Dawn walking down the main street in Santa Monica, heading towards the recording studio where he worked. He had to admit he was nervous about seeing her, after what Buffy had told him about her, but he had worked up enough courage to talk to her.

Every thing that I’ve been doing is all bad
I got a chick on the side wit a crib and a ride
I’ve telling you so many lies ain’t nothing good its all bad
And I just wanna confess cause its been going on so long
Girl I been doing you so wrong and I want you to know that
Every thing that I’ve been doin is all bad
I got a chick on the side with a crib and a ride
I’ve telling you so many lies ain’t nothing good its all bad
And I just wanna confess cause its been going on so long
Girl I been doing you so wrong and I want you to know that
---------------------------
They became friends, deciding to keep it from Buffy but soon they became more than friends; something which surprised Connor no less. They dated, went on vacations and just spent time together. All the while, forgetting about Buffy or everyone else that could see them.
Connor leaned back in his large leather office chair, watching the sky before turning the chair back round to his desk. He looked at the picture of he and Buffy, in Hawaii having the time of their life.
He leaned forward, smoothing the outline of his girlfriend’s face in the picture, before picking it up and he rested his forehead against the pane of the glass.
-------------------
Everytime I was in L.A. I was with my ex-girlfriend
Everytime you called I told you,
"Baby I'm working." (No!)
I was out doing my dirt (Oh!)
Wasn't thinking' 'bout you gettin' hurt
(I) was hand in hand in the Beverly Centre like man
Not giving' a damn who sees me
So gone (I know)
So wrong (Just listen)
Actin like I didn't have you sitting' at home
Thinking' about me
Being' a good girl that you are
But you probably believe you got a good man
A man that never would do the things I'm about to tell you I've done
Brace yourself
It ain't good
But it would be even worse if you heard this from somebody else
Every thing that I’ve been doing is all bad
I got a chick on the side wit a crib and a ride
I’ve telling you so many lies ain’t nothing good its all bad
And I just wanna confess cause its been going on so long
Girl I been doing you so wrong and I want you to know that
Every thing that I’ve been doin is all bad
I got a chick on the side with a crib and a ride
I’ve telling you so many lies ain’t nothing good its all bad
And I just wanna confess cause its been going on so long
Girl I been doing you so wrong and I want you to know that

Connor got up, grabbing his jacket and things before heading out of his office, ignoring the protests of his secretary exclaiming that he had someone coming over this afternoon to see him. Connor got into this BMW 6, started the engine and drove off home to the apartment that he shared with Buffy.
He reached over and turned the CD player, suddenly blurring out was Usher with ‘Confessions Part One’. Connor frowned, trying not to let the words get to him as he kept driving. his fingers gripped the cream leather that surrounded the steering wheel, and fought to keep from driving off the road as the words kept hitting him with guilt.
-------------------------
If I could turn back the hands of time and start all over I would
stead of everything being all bad baby everything will be all good
I don’t wanna lose you but I know what I’m telling you ain’t gonna’ make you wanna stay, probably just make you run away or
mad enough to punch me in my face
I’ve been living like an idiot and I deserve every bit of it
I know, today is the day that I end all the lying and the playing and the bullshit
Girl, I’m sorry baby I’m sorry
But I can no longer walk around with this stress on my chest
I confess...
Every thing that I’ve been doing is all bad
I got a chick on the side wit a crib and a ride
I’ve telling you so many lies ain’t nothing good its all bad
And I just wanna confess cause its been going on so long
Girl I been doing you so wrong and I want you to know that
Every thing that I’ve been doin is all bad
I got a chick on the side with a crib and a ride
I’ve telling you so many lies ain’t nothing good its all bad
And I just wanna confess cause its been going on so long
Girl I been doing you so wrong and I want you to know that
Can you break it down....
----------------------
Dawn and a couple of her friends were at a café as they saw Connor drive past, Dawn frowned slightly before her hand went automatically to her abdomen, which her best friend seemed to notice but didn’t comment as she knew what that meant.

Connor got home, noticing that Buffy wasn’t home yet gave him some relief as he walked into the apartment. He grabbed a notebook and walked into the little recording studio that was specially built for him. He sat in the booth, turned on his phone and began to think.
His fingers began to move across the paper, writing words that seemed to be nonsense as he read them. Connor jumped as his phone suddenly rang, pulling him from his thoughts. Hurriedly, he grabbed it, flipping up the cover as he put it to his ear.
“Hey Connor, its Daniel. Have you heard about Dawn? No? You’ll never believe this, but she’s got herself knocked up.”
