Chapter 7 The Joys of Pregnancies
Buffy spooned a spoonful of crunchy peanut butter into her small mouth. Her eyes widened and she called for Angelus around the spoon in her mouth."Angewlus!" Her eyes narrowed in anticipation."ANGEWLUS!"
Angelus came running from out of the bathroom, steam following after his retreating body. His white towel was messily placed around his lower half, water dripping from his body. He looked at Buffy, panicking."Are you okay? Is the baby okay?" Ever since they found out she had been pregnant only three weeks earlier, he'd been way more protective of her. And she'd been bossing him around a lot more. Not purposely, of course.'Damn hormones,' He thought.
Buffy moaned,"I Thought you got me more peanut butter!"
Angelus sighed,"Baby, I did. In the fridge." His sigh was half due from annoyance, and relief.
He had to keep reminding himself she was carrying their child. But the torture was worth it. To see her eyes light up when she opened the jar of peanut butter.
Angelus made his way back into the bathroom and kicked the door shut behind him. ________________BACK IN SUNNYDALE__________________________
Rupert's hair was a tangled mess and his glasses were hanging on the edge of his nose, crookedly. His eyes were red from many sleepless nights. His large phone was dangling by his ear.
"Dammit-I don't care if she has to be missing for a full three months before you can do anything! My daughter is missing-I want her found and returned to me safely-Thank you Mr. Bovine."
Rupert stared at the picture on his desk and a memory flooded into his head.
FLASHBACK
Rupert was much, much younger. 27 to be exact. He was taking home his second child. Buffy Anne Giles, six pounds, three ounces. The strange thing was, her eyes were not blue like usual babies, but an emerald green.
She loved to gurgle, and make these cutest screeching sounds. She had the smallest fingers Rupert had ever seen. Her feet were constantly kicking and curling.
"Picture time!" Rupert's father, James, exclaimed, flashing his camera once to get Joyce's and Rupert's attention. Joyce rubbed her eyes with her hand.
Joyce squeezed next to Buffy, while Rupert was on the other side of Buffy, also. James smiled largely,"Say cheese!"
The flash was bright and annoying, but announced the life of a new being. _____________________BACK WITH BUFFY AND ANGELUS__________
Buffy was sleeping soundly in the bedroom, clutching Angelus' pillow to her chest. Angelus peered into the bedroom. They were currently staying in a small cabin up in the mountains, a small town lay about it. The cabin was fully furnished in fine velvets and silks. It had a home-y feel to it, and Buffy constantly told Angelus she never wanted to leave.
He was as excited as a kid on Christmas day. The joy of seeing all your presents neatly tucked away in a wrapping paper, the bigger the present, the more the excitement rose. Soon, she'd be big with his child. Just the thought of her belly swelling with his child made his chest puff with a manly pride.
He made his way over to Buffy and tucked himself into her side. His enhanced wolf hearing picked up the pattering of two large hearts-his and Buffy's-and a smaller one, their child.
Yes, all was well in Angelus Land.
