Next Clip in Episode

(Wes is walking into the deserted lobby of the Hyperion. He hears Connor fussing in the bassinet and looks down at him for a moment, then goes to retrieve Connor's diaper bag and stuffs a few things into it.)

LORNE: What are you doing?

WESLEY: Hi. I'm taking Connor.

LORNE: Where?

WES: To my place - for the night. We're going to the park in the morning. I talked to Angel before. He knows all about it. Are Fred and Gunn...

LORNE: Out. Getting food. Boy, that girl can put away the chow! Oh, here. I heated up a bottle. Hey, Angel didn't say anything about... Well, he probably forgot. He went off in kind of a hurry.

WESLEY: What happened?

LORNE: Well, he was acting kind of weird this morning. I'm sure you noticed. Then when he came back from killing the Wraith-ers...

WES: (to Connor) Hey, it's okay. It's your Uncle Wes. You like your Uncle Wes. We're gonna have a great time.

(Wes bounced Connor in his arms and starts to hum to stop him from fussing. Lorne reads him. Wes carefully puts Connor down, and the launches himself at Lorne. Lorne struggles, and Wes ends up bashing at his head with a statue to knock him out)

WESLEY: (to Connor) Here. All right. That's a boy. That's a boy.

(Wes turns with Connor against his shoulder - only to find himself face to face with Angel.)

WESLEY: Angel.

ANGEL: Where is everybody?

WESLEY: Fred and Gunn went for food. Lorne - had to go out. I'm watching the baby. In fact, I packed up some overnight things. We talked about me taking Connor to the park and the one across from my place is... It's always full of kids. I thought he could spend the night with me.

ANGEL: That's - probably a really good idea.

WESLEY: You wanna say good-bye?

ANGEL: (to Connor) Okay. Hey. He-he. Sleep tight, big guy. Daddy will see you real soon. (To Wes) Just keep and eye... I check on him a lot during the night. You got his pediatrician's number, his baby formula?

WESLEY: I've got all that.

ANGEL: You ever hear of a time-traveling demon by the name of Sahjhan?

WESLEY: No.

ANGEL: The guy that brought Holtz here. He thinks I'm his sworn enemy. I don't know him from Adam. Can you hit the books before you go?

(Wes watches Angel sit down on the settee in the lobby. The doors open and Fred and Gunn come in. Lorne is still lying unconscious in the next room)

GUNN: Hey. Where is Lorne? He better show his green face pronto, or Fred'll eat his hoagie.

FRED: I will not! I already had two. - Unless he's really not here?

ANGEL: He had to go out.

GUNN: Where?

ANGEL: (to Wesley) Where did you say he went?

WESLEY: I don't know. He didn't say - exactly. I think he had to see a client. You know, I've got better reference materials for your demon at home, and Connor is getting sleepy. Why don't I look into it there?

(Angel looks from Wes to Connor, to Wes outstretched hands, back at Connor. Slowly lets Wes take the baby.)

ANGEL: Ah, okay. Just call me if you find something.

WESLEY: I guess, ah - I'll see everyone tomorrow.

ANGEL: Hey, Wes? What's the closest emergency room to your place?

WES: Drew Medical. One minute away. Top infant care center. Don't worry.

(We see Wes hurry down the sidewalk with Connor.)

ANGEL: Well, my first whole night without the kid. This'll be good for both of us. He can bond with his Uncle Wes... I can get some rest.

GUNN: (smiling) We'll stay up with you.

ANGEL: Really? Thanks. You know, he's just a little guy. I'm sure he'll be...
