(Hyperion, day, Fred is hunched over the laptop as Cordy brings over two cups and sets one down beside her.)

FRED: Thanks.

(Fred looks up and sees Angel coming down the stairs carrying his son.)

FRED: Oh-oh, we still haven't traced the websites.

CORDELIA: (to Fred) Relax. (to Angel) Get any sleep?

ANGEL: Nah, I was up all night watching him.

CORDELIA: You know, if you'd let us take shifts we could...

ANGEL: No, I wasn't watching him like that - I was just - watching him. He - looks a little bit like me, don't you think?

CORDELIA: Oh, yeah. Look at that brow. He's a miniature you. Why don't you hand him over for a while, catch some shut eye.

ANGEL: No. I'll sleep - when I know he's safe.

CORDELIA: Which will be when? Around never? - Angel, I understand you wanna protect him - but you gotta let go a little. Share part of the responsibility. You can't be everything for him.

ANGEL: I'm his only family. My job now is to be everything for him.

CORDELIA: Really? - Okay. Follow me. Come on.

(Cordy takes a hold of Angel's elbow and leads him towards the garden court.)

ANGEL: Where are we going?

CORDELIA: Come on.

(Cordy leads him out of the Hyperion. Angel stops before they leave the shadows of the building.)

ANGEL: Cordelia...

CORDELIA: We're going outside, where your son is gonna wanna go play. Where you have to rush him to the hospital if he gets sick in the daytime. But I see your point. You can't go outside during the day like other parents because - you're a vampire. And even if you weren't - you can't do everything for him.

(Angel, looking down at the baby, stretches one hand out into the sunlight.)

ANGEL: If he has to get to the hospital at noon (Smoke starts to rise from his hand) on the sunniest day of the year, he'll get there even if I don't.

CORDELIA: Angel, (Pushes his hand down into the shadow) stop, Angel...
