Humanity part 1 (Lost Loves)

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Buffy and Angel peoples. Joss Whedon and his cronies do however. I only wish that I do own them. So don't sue me 'k? This is only medicine for an obsession. I'm not kidding. Oh, and yeah, I do own Ross, Carly, Eternity, Angela and Sam.
Authors note: I think this is about 14 years or so after "I Will Remember You". Yup, I'm right. Oh yeah, slight spoilers for Buffy season 4 and Angel season 1. But of course I'm not that up to date with the episodes. Since they are only in season 3 and Angel isn't even here yet.
Authors note 2: I like Oz. Thats why he's here. Carly is a lot younger than Angela is. She's so smart; she was accelerated. Ross is no relation to any of the original slayerettes. Cordy's a big movie star by the way.
Dedication: Nobody. Just a big thanks to Nina.

The group slowly moved away from the local club, the Bronze. They looked young, probably in 8th grade or even freshmen. Angel stared after them. He was amazed at one of the girls. She had brownish-blond hair. Her eyes were green and she was pretty. She looked like someone he knew. She looked like Buffy.

Angela O'Hara felt somebody's eyes on her. She turned and searched for someone who might be watching her. "Angi, what's wrong?" her best friend Carly Osbourne asked. "Nothing. I just thought I heard something. You go ahead. I'll be along." "'K. Whatever you say. I'll try to call you." Carly replied. Angela scanned the alley again, then hurried to catch her curfew. Then she saw him. He was tall and looked intense. "Who the heck are you?" she asked him. "I just wanted to find out, do you know anyone named Buffy?"
"What do you want her?" Angela tensed. What does he want with her? She thought. "I'm an old friend." Angel smiled, just a little. This girl was just as fierce as Buffy. "Oh. Sorry if I was rude. You see my mom'll have my hide as well as my social perks if I don't make it to the Martial Law." Angel looked at her blankly. "My curfew. So, you know my mom?" angel said, " Who's your mom?" "Your friend, Buffy."

Angel stared. This girl is Buffy Summers' daughter. His true loves child. Tears welled in his eyes as he remembered why he was here. Cordelia Chase- Harris, his former secretary had called him. Buffy needed him, she said. So he left Los Angeles and went back to Sunnydale. He went first to 1630 Revello drive, but he had felt that she wasn't there. So he went to the Bronze. Angel asked this girl who looked like Buffy, but it turned out, the kid was Buffy's.

"Is anything wrong?" Angela asked. "Can I see your mom?" "Yeah, sure. Wait, stranger danger. What's your name?" angel hesitated. " Angel. My name's Angel." "Huh, weird. I mean my name's kinda like Angel. Incidentally, Angel what?" she was laughing. "I just call myself Angel." "Mine's Angela O'Hara."

He shook when he heard the name O'Hara. It was his name. Liam O'Hara. How and why does Buffy's daughter have my name? He thought.

The last time Angel saw Buffy, she was 19. He went to Sunnydale and decked out Riley Finn. She got mad at him and convinced him that now loved Riley. Angel knew that Buffy needed a normal life. So he said good-bye again. He got news about Buffy, but nobody told him that she was pregnant. Angela led him to their house. The site registered with Angel. It was the mansion. His mansion. "My mom and my grandma and my grandfather restored it. Guess it was special to mom. The two of them reached the house. Angela opened the door and invited Angel to come in. " Mother, I'm home!" a woman with blond hair walked out of the kitchen. Angela Katarina O'Hara, you are so in trouble. Why were youlate? Angel?" "Mom, I actually ran into him. I'll leave you two alone. I'm gonna eat." Angela left the both of them to eavesdrop in the kitchen.

Buffy stared at Angel. She took in how he looked now. His features were the same, but what struck her the most was that he looked older. "I thought vampires don't age?" she asked him. "They don't. I'm human now. "He sounded happy with this news, but Buffy knew he wasn't delighted to tell her this and she was shocked. " How come I don't know? Angel, I kept calling you. But you didn't want me to talk to you. Why is that?" " You told me to leave you alone. Nobody told me you were pregnant. Buffy, who is Angela's father?"
Angel stared at Buffy. She looked tired, weary. He was amazed by her. The longest living slayer, ever. "Who is Angela's father? Why did you ask me come here?" Buffy looked sullen. "You. You're her dad. I remembered that day. I named her after you. I didn't know what to do what to tell her. We did some research and found out your real name. And FYI, I did not ask for you." Angel looked confused. Then why did Cordelia call me? "Look are you staying anywhere? We'll just have to continue this tomorrow." Angel went near to her. "I was going to stay at my mansion, but apparently you guys took over." Buffy looked up at him. "I wanted a place of my own. Mom, Giles and I restored it. Most of your stuff is here. Yeah, you can stay here. We have a guest bedroom."

Angela's eyes widened. He was her father! Her mom had told her that he had died. Her stepfather once told her that her father had left her mom. She decided to listen more.

"Thanks Buffy. So, tell me what's been happening to you." Angel looked at her thoughtfully. "Well, I graduated college while supporting a baby. I got married, but we divorced. What else do you want?" Buffy looked at him questioningly. "Okay, okay. Everything is basically the same. Willow and Oz are married. So are Cordy and Xander, but you know that. Riley and I decided to tie the knot. So did mom and Giles. They're still going strong, though as I said, we divorced. I'm training the new Slayer since the council retired me. I run the gym downtown and I give psychiatric evaluations at a clinic." She said. "Have you been with anyone else?" Angel asked. "No. I couldn't. I missed you so much. How about you? When did you become part of the human race?" "It's a very long story Buffy." Angel said. "I'd like to hear it." Was her reply. "I thought you were mad at me?" "I'll get mad at you if you don't tell me the story." She gave him a threatening glare. "Okay, okay, but you need to prepare for this."

February 26, 2011- Los Angeles, California

Angel stood by the door of the church. He decided to he would lure the demon near the consecrated ground. He himself dare not the ground. He only wanted to lure the demon to it. Of course Angel can enter the church, but ground sprinkled with holy Water, well he'd rather not burn.

The evil creature lunged toward Angel. "Maybe you should try another approach, like say stepping over here." He joked. When the demon entered the church, Angel spun kicked it, sending it to Wesley, whom then in turn pushed into the consecrated ground. The demon's feet burned. It gave Angel the time to cut the creature's horns off. Then, it turned into dust.

Angel stepped back, exhausted. "Are you okay, Angel?" Wesley asked. "Another case solved. I don't know how Cordelia and Doyle deal with these visions." He said again. "I'm fine Wesley. Call up Cordelia and tell her we solved the case." Angel answered. "All right. Should I ask about Buffy?" But before Angel could answer, a white suddenly appeared. Angel knew who it was. It was the Powers That Be. The Oracles.

"You have been brave warrior. You have helped people and have given the greatest sacrifice may a-time. We will now grant you release from your guilt. Your biggest wish, your soul is now permanent. You are human, but still have your vampiric strength. Thank you for your services." Angel felt his soul being restored. He squinted at the light and thought he saw Doyle. "Doyle?" He gaped in disbelief. "Congratulations boyo." Doyle said. Then, they were gone.
* END OF FLASHBACK*

"Wow!" Angela exclaimed, quietly. "My dad's a vampire and my mom's some sort of vampire killer or whatever."

Buffy looked at Angel fondly. "I'm tired. I'll just have to hear the rest of the story tomorrow. Have a good night and I'll go and check on my daughter." She said. Angel grabbed her hand. "Wait. Let's check on her together. She is our daughter." Together they climbed the stairs.

Shit! Angela thought. If they catch me, I am so dead. She ran upstairs while Angel talked to Buffy. Angela hurriedly turned down her bed and took of her "club" clothes, pulling on a nightie. Then she eased herself into bed and pretended to sleep. Angela heard the door open. "She's just like an angel." Angel enthused. "Well, that's what she is. In a way I guess." Buffy smiled then shut the door. That night, Angela dreamt of having a whole family. Her mom, her dad and herself.

The sun was shining brightly, the birds chirping. Everything was perfect. But inside the O'Hara's house, it was quite the opposite. Buffy made breakfast flopping around the kitchen. Angela then knew her mother was in a bad mood. She braced herself for a fight when Angel came into the kitchen. Angela put on a big smile and did her best aunt Willow imitation. "Good morning!" she said. "Good morning. Did you have a nice night?" Angel asked. "Yup. Um, mom, Ross, Carly and Sam are waiting for me. So, can I go?" Buffy looked at her daughter. "Yeah sure. Get home early okay?" Angela smiled and took her breakfast outside.

"So, you really are human. I mean, light and no ashing." Buffy said. "Who are Carly, Ross and Sam?" Angel asked, not really trying to dodge what she said. Buffy directed him to a table full of pictures. Angel's eyes saddened when he saw the pictures he drew of Buffy. Carly is Willow and Ozs daughter. Shes only 11 but shes so smart. Sam is Samantha, Xander and Cordys kid. Ross, well, hes new. About Angelas age. He moved to Sunnydale about 5 years ago. Now I want the rest of the story. Why are you here? Buffy looked at Angel. Cordelia called me and told me you needed me here. I thought you were in trouble, so naturally I came. Angel explained. I cant believe she took it seriously. I only told her that Angelas looking for a guy for me. Buffys face fell. Cordelia mustve wanted us to get back together. Angel smiled when he said that. How long have you been human? Buffy queried. Angel couldnt bring himself to tell her, but he did nevertheless. Hes told her worst things before. 3 years. Buffys eyes went red with rage. What? You hid your humanity from me for three whole years! I had to lie to our daughter about you. She thinks your dead. How am I supposed to tell her about you, huh! she erupted. Buffy, Im sorry. But, I, I was scared. I thought youd get hurt. I thought you had moved on. It still doesnt change the fact that you have been human for three years and here I am still wishing you hadnt left and raising a 14 year-old all alone! Angel came near her. He lifted his hand and cupped Buffys face. She immediately brushed it off. Her face was now full of tear streaks. Buffy. Buffy, Im so sorry. Angel longed to comfort her. Well sit her down and tell her reasonably. I know shell understand. She was eavesdropping last night. He gave a small chuckle, hoping to lighten the mood. Angel put his arm around her. Buffy tried to twist away, but Angel would no let her go. Please forgive me. He pleaded. Buffy turned and nodded Its hard. But I will try. For Angelas sake. With that Angel kissed Buffy passionately. She didnt even try to get away.

Buffy raised her hand and gripped Angels hair. Oh, have I missed this. She thought. Angel hugged her even more tightly, and kissed her even more passionately. Just then, the doorbell rang. Whoever that is, tell them to go home. Angel growled. He didnt want to end the kiss yet. Ï have to answer the door. Buffy broke the mood and went to the door. Ill be right there! she shouted to the door. She opened the door and saw a girl with red-gold hair standing at the doorway. Eternity, what are you doing here? Its too early. Buffy said to the girl. Ms. Summers, Buffy, its 9:30. My training starts at 8 remember? Time flew. Buffy muttered to herself. She led the girl inside. Eternity moved into the living room chatting and gossiping. So, Sarah and Alyson said that I shouldnt hang with the froshes but they can take me into their group since I hang with Sam, whos in the 6th grade and from the academy. Anyway, I thought I should use the spin kick on them, but then she stopped in mid-sentence when she saw Angel. Whoa! Are you candy for a sweet tooth. she said Eternity, this is Angel. Angel, this is Eternity. Shes the new Slayer. Buffy explained. I thought our identities were supposed to be secret? Angel. Thats a nice name. Have you met Angela? You know Buffys daughter? Eternity said, hoping to make sure Angel wasnt just a suitor for her trainer. Yes. I have last night. Are you in school with her? Angel asked politely. Yeah. Im a sophomore. Im cutting class. She answered proudly.

It was an awkward moment. Angel and Buffy still wanted to do what they were doing before. And Eternity, well, she obviously had walked into something intimate. Um, E, Angel here is, um, Angel ishes an old friend. Eternity looked at Buffy confused. Is he Angelas dad? Buffy looked at her shocked. What?! What do you mean? He is isnt he. I knew I would find out soon enough. Eternity said with a small touch of smugness. Buffy looked to Angel for help. She mouthed should we tell her to him. He thought for a moment and finally he nodded yes. Buffy breathed hard and told Eternity everything in a rush. Angel and I have been, or rather, were dating for a long time. He was a vampire and he was cursed with a soul. If and when we do the nasty, he reverts back to his bad vamp days. One day, when I visited him in LA he was infected by the blood of a demon. It regenerated him, making him human. We had a wonderful day. But he had to give up his humanity in order to save the world. The Powers that Be made me forget all about that day, but they forgot something themselves. I got pregnant and I remembered everything. Please do not say anything to Angela. Please. Buffy pleaded and begged to Eternity. Eternity took a second to process everything. Oh, okay. I think I get it now. Sure, I promise I wont to tell Angie anything. Buffy told Eternity to go to school and set up another training session. Then she turned to Angel. Angel, you and I are taking a walk. She took her coat and waited for Angel. When he came back they left the house.

At the High school, Angela told Carly and Ross all about what she heard that night before. So, those thingies in your grandpas books are vampires? Ross asked. Angela nodded. Wow, you finally met your dad. Cool! Carly said enthusiastically. I actually have a feeling our parents know. Even Sams dad and her mom. Angela told Carly. So all those Go up to your room young ladies were for their secret meetings. Carly voiced out. Then they saw Eternity sprinting toward her class. Maybe Eternity is a vampire slayer, whatever that is, too. Angela wondered out loud.

Eternity rushed to her homeroom. She glanced toward the open yard and saw Angela. How am I supposed to keep that a secret? She asked herself. Just then, Sarah and Alyson came toward her. Oh, hi there Eternity. Hey. Look we wanted to tell you, you could join our clique. Just as long you ask Cordelia Chase to bless us with her celebrity connections. They said. Eternity looked annoyingly at them. Look, Im late and Im in trouble. If you dont let me pass, youre gonna be lunchmeat. The two other girls gave her a smug look. Fine. If you want to de-cool and de-glamorize yourself thats cool with us. Dont expect boys clamoring all over you. In fact, right now, we pity you. With that they snapped their heads around and left Eternity standing there. Like I care. Then she resumed her pace toward her class.

Buffy and angel walked along Hammersmith Park. The sun was shining down on them. Buffy looked up at Angel. Everythings so perfect. Youre human now and Angelas finally going to have a real family. She said. What about Riley? I mean your time with him. Werent you happy then? angel queried. No. Believe it or not we were always fighting. About slaying that is. And other things. What other things? Buffy hesitated; she looked at Angel with eyes full of love. You among those. He thought I still loved you. And you know what, he is so right. She leaned then she kissed him. She savored the taste of his lips. They finally broke apart, smiled and walked home together, holding hands.
