The Mansion
Saturday 7:47pm

Once again, she was at her daughter's house playing with her grandchildren on a Saturday night...what did that say about her social life? Joyce sighed. She really did need a life...oh my God!

"Buffy! Angel! Come down here quick!" Joyce yelled.

Buffy and Angel came running down the stairs, thinking that something had happened to their children...not that anything could. But what they saw delighted them.

Erin and Liam were taking tentative steps toward their favourite toys. One...two...three...plop. Okay, three would do for now...

Buffy picked up her daughter as Angel picked up his son. They both cuddled them close, congratulating them on their first steps. Both children grinned at their parents and all three adults hearts melted. Erin and Liam both had all the adults in their lives wrapped around their little fingers. They were so adorable.

Joyce ran to the phone to call Spike and the others. They had to know her grandchildren's newest accomplishments...

9:37pm

By this time, everyone had gathered at the mansion wanting to see the little ones. Even Spike and Whistler were getting into it. It was especially funny watching Spike to get them to walk to him...

"Come on love." He called to Erin. She was his favourite, claiming that she looked nothing like 'the big poof over there'. "Come to Uncle Spike...I'll give you a nice dolly..." He held one of Dru's unmutilated dolls out to Erin. She grinned at the gift and toddled off away from her father and ran to her 'Uncle Spike'. Spike couldn't help but poke out his tongue at his sire.

Angel glared at him. Even though they had become mates again, Spike still enjoyed annoying Angel. He picked up his honourary niece and carried her over to the chair and sat her down in his lap, cooing to her while Cordelia did the same to Liam.

Cordy wasn't used to holding a baby, but she figured she had better get used to it if she was going to have one of her own...

Both Angel and Buffy's heads jerked and they stared at Cordelia. When she noticed that they were staring at her, she asked...

"What? Do I have dribble on my shirt?" She looked worried.

Angel and Buffy communicated at the same time...*You're pregnant???*

"How did you know?" She thought about it for a second... "Oh. Okay...I guess it's time for Doyle and I to make our announcement." Most of the group could tell that something was going on with her and the dead couple...

Cordelia stood up and said, "I'm pregnant." Then sat down again and started playing with Liam.

Everyone congratulated her. It wasn't hard to figure out that it was Doyle's...

Everything was starting to fall into place. Cordelia and Doyle had each other, Buffy and Angel were finally together with a family, Joyce had Spike to mother, and Spike had...well, Spike had Joyce to mother him. All that was left was Whistler...well...maybe one day...
