Forever, Always, and Then SomeChapter 62
Wesley: So you see Angel maybe not be sterile. Cordy: Now you tell us. Fred: (raises her hand) I have one question. Uh how did that guy Giles find out before Buffy? Wesley: Giles? Fred: That’s his name, right? The watcher guy? Wesley: Yes, his name is Giles. But what does he have to do with any of this? Fred: Well he called and talked to Buffy. He is the one who told her she could be pregnant, I think. Cordy: I think you may have been confused. Fred: I tried not to listen but she was talking to Giles about making love to Angel and then got off and told me she might be pregnant. I think he is why he called. Wesley: That makes no since.
At the Clinic Buffy and Angel enter and walk up to the counter. Angel: Uh we are Mr. and Mrs. Summers. We called. Lady: Yes, the pregnancy test? Buffy: Uh huh. Lady: Just fill out these papers and we will be right with you. Buffy takes the papers and guides Angel to the waiting area. Angel: I hate waiting. Buffy: Just pretend you’re lurking or something. Angel: Not cute. Buffy hands him a magazine. Buffy: Then read. Angel looks at the cover. Angel: Parents? Cute. Buffy: Read you may learn something. Angel: I know plenty. Buffy: Well find something to do why I fill these out. Angel: I wish they would hurry up. Buffy: I have to fill these out first so please hush. Angel: Oh. Later. Lady: Mrs. Summers, come on back. Buffy: Stay here and behave. Angel: Here? Buffy: Yes, I will get you if I need you. Angel: Fine. I will read this magazine. But hurry. In the examination room. Doctor: Mrs. Summers, I understand that this is a big shock. The nurse said you told her your husband was suppose to be sterile. Buffy: Yes, but it is not a bad shock. Just never ever expected. Doctor: Well the test is positive but I want to do an examine to confirm. Okay. Buffy: Fine. Later. Doctor: Well you are definitely pregnant. And I believe you are right about the three months. But I would like to do an ultrasound to so I can be sure. Buffy: Really? Doctor: Really. Buffy: Can you really see something already? Doctor: Definitely. Do you want us to get your husband? Buffy: Yes, please do. The nurse gets Angel. Angel: Buffy? Buffy: Angel, the doctor is going to do an ultrasound, want to watch? Angel: So it is true. You are pregnant. Buffy: I am. Not sure how. Angel: Me either. Doctor: Okay, Lets see here. There it is. Can you see? Buffy: I think so. I am still in shock Angel squeezes her hand. Angel: Buffy, we have another miracle. Buffy: I know. Doctor: According to the measurements I would say you were right about the three months. This would definitely explain why you are so tired. But I hate to say this, seeing you told me your son is only six months but I think you need to stop nursing. You are going to need to give everything to this little one now. Buffy: I know. Doctor: Well get dressed. I am going to give you some vitamins and I want you to come back in 4 weeks. Buffy: But I li Angel: She will be here. Buffy: Angel.
In the car on the way home. Angel: Buffy, are you okay? Buffy: I am more than okay. Angel we are having a baby. Conner is going to have a little sister. Angel: A girl? You sound sure. Buffy: Angel pull over a second. I need to tell you something. Angel pulls over. Angel: What? You sound serious. Buffy: I am. I have to tell you how I found about the baby. Giles told me. He called and told me. Angel: Told you what? Buffy: Told me I was pregnant, it had never crossed my mine. Why would it? Angel: I am lost, how did Giles know? Buffy: Because the council told him. Don’t get upset, please. Angel: Buffy, please don’t say it. Buffy: You know how the council knew? Angel: Our little girl is destined to be a slayer. Rather poetic don’t you think. A vampire’s miracle child is a vampire child. Buffy: I know. Not the life I would want for her at all. But at least she will have me to guide her. Angel: I know, but she is not even here and her life is already planned. Buffy: Speaking of planning, I want to throw something in the air right now. Angel: What? Buffy: My first choice on her name. Angel: What? Buffy: Caitlin. Angel: Caitlin? Buffy: Caitlin. Angel: Why Caitlin? Buffy: I prefer it over Kathleen, which was my first thought. Angel: You thought about Kathleen? Buffy: Of course. Angel: So you know about Kathleen? Buffy: Yes, of course Angel: It is Irish. Buffy: I know. Just like Conner is and I think so is their father. Angel: An Irish name for our little Irish lass. Buffy: Do you like the name or not? Angel: You know I do. I am just teasing you ,but what is the hurry. We have six months. Buffy: Which will fly by, just like the last six months. Angel: True. Come on lets go home. Lets call everyone we know and tell them Caitlin Summers is on her way. Buffy: We have to start with Dawn and Willow. They enter the hotel. Cordy: Well? Angel: I guess everyone knows. Fred: Oh I am so happy, well if you two are happy that is. Babies are so sweet. Buffy: We are happy. Just shocked and confused still. Angel: Still not sure how it is possible. Fred: Oh but Wesley knows. Buffy: Wesley knows what? Wesley: I know why Angel can father a child. Angel: Want to fill us in? Wesley: Of course. You know that when Darla showed up carrying Conner, I did a lot of research trying to find out how it was possible. I discovered something that could explain how Angel might be able to produce a child but since it still didn’t explain Darla I didn’t tell anyone. Then we later found out about the whole temporal fold and I realized it had nothing to do with Conner at all. Angel: You discovered that I might not be sterile and you did not tell me. Wesley: Well I really didn’t think it was important since you and Buffy were not suppose to be able t have sex anyway. And nobody bothered to tell me things had changed. Angel: I don’t go telling everyone when I make love to my wife. Sorry. So you want to tell me what you know? Buffy: Preferably tonight. Wesley: Right then. When I was looking for how Darla and Angel conceived a child, I came across a reference to a vampire that was able to impregnate a human female. And well he had only one unique characteristic with Angel. Buffy: What? Did he have a soul? Wesley: No, he had also survived the "Killer of the Dead" . Buffy: The poison, he survived the poison. But there is only one known cure. Angel: And it cures more than the poison I assume. Wesley: That is my assumption. Buffy: So I am responsible. That is priceless. I save one life only to get a bonus in the package. Angel: So you have known this for six months and you have told no one till now. Wesley: Well if I knew you were going to bloody shag the girl I mighta bloody told ya!!!! Buffy burst out laughing. Everyone looks at Wesley and then everyone starts laughing. Angel: Okay, not laying blame, actually if we had known we might not have a child on the way. And I personally am not complaining. Buffy: Me either. Oh and Wesley.. Wesley: What did I do now? Buffy: Oh nothing really, I just want to tell you that I think you are wrong about that prophecy being about Conner. Wesley: Why do you think that? Buffy: Cause more likely it is about Caitlin. Cordy: Caitlin? Buffy: Caitlin. Cordy: So I assume you think it is a girl. Buffy: All slayers are. Wesley: Slayers? Oh that is why Giles called. Oh my lord. Cordy: What? Gunn: Buffy’s little bun is a future slayer. Buffy: Afraid so. Destined to walk in her mother’s shoes. Cordy: Now, that is not fair. Angel: Tell us about it. Wesley: Well you could be right about the prophecy then. It might not be Conner, but the new baby instead. Buffy: Caitlin. Wesley: Yes, Caitlin. Fred: Where did you get the name Caitlin? Buffy: It is a variation of Angel’s little sister’s name, Kathleen. Fred: Oh. Uh Angel you have a little sister. Angel: I did. Fred: Oh yeah she is probably dead by now. Angel: She is. Buffy: Angel, I thought we were going to call home. |
