Morning After.

[connor_the_son]

I stretched my arms out and accidentally knocked over one of Buffy's lamps. Her house was big sure, but when it holds several people in it things seem to be a bit clustered. However her couch was very comfortable, I rather enjoyed sharing it with Cordelia. I kept her feet close to me, to keep them warm throughout the night. Both of had seemed to be

I sat my coffee down as I prepared to listen for more stuttering. She was afraid to tell me the truth, as I knew she would be. Everyone likes to hide their secrets, including my fathers...girlfriend? I listened to her as she switched the subject on me, it was probably her only easy way out.

I place my head down, and looked at the counter. I wasn't sure I should tell her anything or not. She is something to my father so who would I rather tell her.

"If you must know about me I'll give you the cliff notes version of what I like to call my hell" I pause for a moment to make sure she was listening. "My Father and Darla-were well They had sex. She gave birth to me by staking herself. Wesley kidnapped me, then got stabbed. THen Holtz kidnapped me and took me off to a far away land called Quortoth which is a hell dimension. Then after a long while I came back to L.A."

I took a big breath, there was more to it than that but I didn't know if I could go on explaining anymore. "Sorry I didn't mean to go all Interview with a Vampire's Son on you. Since I saw you getting close to my father, I just thought we should get to know each other before I have to call you my new mommy" I let out a groan.

[angelbuffy]

Speechless was a complete understatement. I didn't expect for him to tell me anything, and DARLA? This was even more confusing than I thought it would be.

But hey-- A vampire had a child, of course there was bound to be confusion. And there was bound to be sex involved. What the hell was I thinking?

I didn't want to know that Angel had sex..Angel had sex? With Darla?

This turned out to be the morning from hell...Why did I bother? This conversation would be easier if I had just answered his simple question.

Leave it to me to ask the complex, confusing, layered question. My mouth was more than likely hitting the table. I was staring at Connor with my mouth open sitting at the kitchen table...with folgers.

"Wow, I wasn't expecting that..That's really not a very funny joke--Mommy?"

Did I hear him right?

"Mommy? Umm, look, I don't know what you've been drinking besides coffee, but, don't call me that again..and maybe we should all just go back to bed. Nothing is really making sense, and..yeah. I think we just need to sleep-."

I said this really slow, and..well I had to be dreaming..or I was on drugs, and not hearing what he was saying correctly. This was not. real.

I stood up, and stared at him backing away in my robe to the door.

Woah, I needed to dream something else.

After we got back to Buffy's house, Buffy led me up to her room and we laid down on a futon. I knew she had wanted to talk, as did I, but I knew she needed sleep even more. I wrapped my arms around her and her head rested on my shoulder.

It felt so nice to be with Buffy again. She fell asleep almost immediately after we got settled. I didn't fall asleep for a while, I just watched her sleep. She had always looked so peaceful when she slept. After a while of watching her, I gave in and drifted off to sleep. We slept for a while and then I felt her start to move around in my arms.

She sat up, and stood, walking out of the room. Barely awake, I watched her leave and then tried to wake up myself. After a few minutes of laying there I stood, and started to walk out of the room. I heard two voices as I walked down the stairs. One sounded like Buffy's and the other I was sure that it was Connor's. I wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing. I'm sure if she asked - which she probably would, he'd tell her about exactly who and how he got..here.

I turned and started towards the kitchen and noticed that the voices weren't as friendly as they once were. Frowning, I stopped and waited outside of the door, wondering if it would be safe to go in.

[connor_the_son]

I couldn't help but smile, I knew I had hit a nerve. My morning started to brighten up as I watched her squirm. I take another sip of my coffee as she backed away. I take a few steps over to her.

"Now seeing as how I told my life story which by the way took up valuable minutes of my life. I think it's your turn."

I give her a wink before I started to smell something familiar. I smirked for a moment and took another sip of coffee. He really does have good timing doesn't he?

"If don't want to share that's okay." I clear my throat as I prepare myself to speak a little louder. "I can always ask MY FATHER."

I looked over at the entry way waiting for him to show his face.

[angelbuffy]

I stared at him, trying to turn around. This kid was really scaring me, because, I feared..that maybe. No, he wasn't telling the truth, because this was more ..weird than hearing that Sunnydale came back.

This was just all a little too weird.

"My turn? I didn't think we were taking turns here. I'm dreaming, that's what it is, we're dreaming, nightmares make us crazy, Connor. Let's just go back to bed, and.."

"If don't want to share that's okay." I clear my throat as I prepare myself to speak a little louder. "I can always ask MY FATHER."

"I can just go back to sleep, on that comfortable futon with-Angel?"

Oh boy, this awkward just got a little bit worse. Why did I have to pry my nose in the kitchen? Why did I have to see if everyone survived? Why didn't I just stay on the futon?

I stared at Angel, then back at Connor. I tried to push through Angel in the door frame, but it was useless. I was being some little girl rulling away from a problem.

believe me, this was a problem. I'm not a mother, and this conversation wasn't about to get worse, because my head was telling me this was a nightmare.

Just one sick hellish nightmare.

"I'm going back to bed, and when I wake up, we can all start fresh. What do you say?"

I knew what they were going to say. So diving in with both feet.

Dammit all.

Color me blind, stupid, and dreaming.

[mr_angel]

"Now seeing as how I told my life story which by the way took up valuable minutes of my life. I think it's your turn."

Well, I guess that answers the question of if Connor decided to tell her about who he exactly was. I frowned at the way he spoke to Buffy. It angered me some.

"If don't want to share that's okay. I can always ask MY FATHER."

Woops. Guess it's that wonderful "sensing" ability that I and he seems to have. Sighing, I shook my head and started to walk through the door. As I walked into the kitched I looked over at Buffy. She seemed a little less than happy, but hopefully I could talk to her before too much longer.. alone. I didn't need any exagerations about the Holtz or any other situation.

"I'm going back to bed, and when I wake up, we can all start fresh. What do you say?"

I looked at Buffy, trying to make her out. I knew she was upset, but I still wanted to talk to her, alone.. and soon.

[connor_the_son]

"Does she always scare this easy?"

I look at my father, his face didn't seem very warming. Well I've never seen a warming face from him but I could tell it was the quite opposite. I smile and try to explain.

"Well I was just talking to Buffy here about a couple things that I didn't understand. Hey maybe even you can help me out on this." I walk over to him.

I didn't exactly know how to ask this. I don't think I made it too clear to buffy so this time I decided to take a blunt approach.

"So You and her went at, of course. I get that, but the thing I don't understand is the perfect happiness thing. If you can boink her and turn evil. Why didn't you turn evil with my mother?"

[angelbuffy]

"OKAY, Haah, I'm going to go back to bed now."

I shook my head and tried once again to push past Angel. I failed.

Wow, what a nice little surprise from the little folgers kid that I thought I could have the relentlessness to call rude. He was beyond Rude, he was...something bad that I couldn't think of the mane it was too early, and I was already really confused.

This was so not my morning. We had a lot of studying to do, and I had a feeling that this nightmare thing wasn't exactly a nightmare anymore. It was more like...bad Karma or something.

I already knew I was doomed, but this just gave ma a nice shortcut.

Sleep it's what everyone loves to do, it's the waking up part that kind of bites. My feet were cold and I noticed on the floor there were pieces of what looked to be a lamp. Connor must of moved alot in his sleep, I wonder why I didn't wake up sooner.

I got up as I smelled the freshness of what I like to call perfect happiness in a mug. I started my way to the kitchen, I heard a couple voices as I got closer. Well I guess we're going to have a party this morning.

....Why didn't you turn evil with my mother?"

Uh oh! was all I could think of at the moment. I'd told Connor everything about Buffy and Angel the previous night right before we went to bed. I didn't think he'd bring it up. He never really talks that much anyway. I walk inside the kitchen as Buffy started to leave and attempt to put on a happy face.

"Good morning. How did everybody sleep?"

Then I focused on what Connor was saying. It may of been a little out in the open but I sure as hell wanted to know or alteast know more.

"Yeah Angel how about that."

[mr_angel]

"Well I was just talking to Buffy here about a couple things that I didn't understand. Hey maybe even you can help me out on this. So You and her went at, of course. I get that, but the thing I don't understand is the perfect happiness thing. If you can boink her and turn evil. Why didn't you turn evil with my mother?"

What?? I couldn't believe Connor.. well, I guess I could, but infront of Buffy like this? Did he want me to get upset? Buffy again tried to get past me, but I didn't really want her to leave. I started to say something about it wasn't really any of his business, but then I heard someone else enter the room. Cordy?

"Good morning. How did everybody sleep?"

No one said anything at all at her question. Connor and her exchanged glances. I wondered if she had heard anything that had been said and I began to think that she didn't, but then she spoke again.

"Yeah Angel how about that."

I looked over at her and gave her a look. After all that we'd been through together, and not to mention all that went on with Connor I couldn't believe that she'd ask something that, encouraging Connor like that. I looked back over to Buffy and I had no idea what to say. This was something I really didn't want to talk about with anyone, well except maybe Buffy but.. alone.

Hesitating, I opened my mouth, stuttering a little. "Uh.. Well,.. actually I don't really want to talk about this, do you Buffy?" I looked at her and wasn't exactly sure what my face was showing. Embarrasment? Anger? A grin? Confusion? I raised my eyebrows a little, "I think that going back to bed sounds like a good idea about now actually.." I muttered.

[angelbuffy]

I wanted out of there..and fast...I was impeded by Angel still standing in the doorway giving Connor either a death stare or an embarrassed grin.

Then enter Cordelia from stage left. She asked about how everyone slept, and I was about to remark that we were all still asleep, that this was a dream, but I pinched myself when Cordelia came in the room, and it was all a little too real. So this wasn't prehell anymore, I had crossed the lines that entered into hell. Maybe not my hell entirely, because well, for one, I wasn't called mommy anymore, and secondly, I was in the middle it was Angel that was on the spot.

Even if it was about me and him...our past, and possibly unfuture. This Connor was making this a little bit complicated. I lived complicated..it was almost my middle name, but I couldn't live with this. This was confusing, and not really something to wake up to.

Give me something to drink with lots of alcohol if you want me to hear the the vampire I love has a human kid...that was calling me mommy and asking about perfect happiness..and..boinking.

It wasn't April fools was it? Last I checked it was December still..

"Yeah Angel how about that."

"Uh.. Well,.. actually I don't really want to talk about this, do you Buffy?"

"What is this? Gang up on Angel and Buffy morning? I'm sorry, but I'm really not in the mood. I mean, yeah I may not have given you all a nice place to stay, but It was your idea.--"

"I think that going back to bed sounds like a good idea about now actually.."

"See? when we start fresh, I might be able to comprehend what you're telling me.. Connor."

I was so glad Dawn didn't turn out like that. Hell, if he was even telling the truth. I would have liked the easy version first. A translation in the not so harsh words.

[shiny_dawn]

I had fallen asleep in fron of the computer again.

I think i was getting addicted to the net. There were like 500 Im windows open on my screen, but the noise I heard downstairs seemed more interesting.

So I go down the stairs, and who is there but Cordelia Chase, and Angel, oh and some strange man that I don't know, probablly a demon or warlock or something. Buffy was always hanging out with those types.

And they were all glaring at each other kinda. Wow, must be a fight. I needed to eat, I hadn't eaten since lunch yesterday, so of course I walk into defcon zone 1, where the fighting is going on.

If I pretend that I want to get something to eat, maybe they won't all stop talking when I enter the room.

"Good morning Buffy!" I said cheerily. Buffy obviously was not happy, along with everyone else in the room.

[connor_the_son]

I listened for a moment as I heard the sharpness in my fathers voice. I could see the anger in his eyes and I didn't get it. I thought for a moment about keeping my mouth shut, but a small portion of my conusance had already died and I was already half buried.

"Well Father," I gazed straight into his eyes giving him a smirk. "I just thought since you were probably going to tell her all about me. That I might get to know about..." I point at both my father and Buffy, "You two"

I noticed a girl walk in as I got halfway through my speech. I hadn't seen her the previous night nor did I know anything about her. She smelled a little a like Buffy.

"Good morning, and who might you be?" I tried to make it sound less rude and more formal. Formal wasn't really my thing any way.

[cordy_love]

Wow, this morning had turned from hurt all over to ugly conversation in no time flat. I didn't know Connor would push this hard. I looked over at Buffy, I could tell she was about to bust out of this room. I let out a sigh and drink some fabulous coffee, of which Connor had made I could tell.

"He has a point."

My intuition wasn't working at the moment but I could see that Angel wasn't very pleased with me. Infact I felt ice cold stares coming at me from the both of them. A girl knows when she's not welcome so I almost started to leave when I noticed a short formerly young girl walk in.

I ran over to her and gave her a big hug. "Dawnie!" One person that I could always say I've missed was her. I grabbed a cereal bar from the counter and handed it to her."How are you doing?"

[shiny_dawn]

"Good morning, and who might you be?"

Ok, this guy was pissing me off. I KNOW he was the one who made Buffy all upset like, and he was probablly the one who made everyone else mad.
I hated people that upset my sister.

"I'm Dawn, and Buffy is my sister. Who are you, and what gives you the right to make everyone upset like this?"

I was super mad at this strange guy. I didn't know him, but I knew I disliked him, whoever he was.
