AUTHOR'S NOTES: I don't know which spelling is correct. My stupid dictionary thingy said both so I'm goin' with both.

"Please." Buffy begged.

"Uh-uh." Angel shook his head firmly. "I can't let you."

"Let me?" she arched an eyebrow.

"Um, I meant...no, Buffy. No."

She stuck her tongue out at him. "Who just gave birth?"

"Not gonna work this time, Buffy."

She stuck out her lower lip. "Angel," she moaned.

"No way."

"I should get to choose her name!" she said defensively. "I'm her mother."

"Absolutely not."

"Why?"

"Buffy, you do realize that had we had a son, you would've named him Alexander Rupert Angel Spike?"

"Those are all important names."

"Absolutely not, Buffy."

"ANGEL!"

"BUFFY!" he shot back.

"Shhh, you'll wake her." she sighed. "What name do you like?"

"Elizabeth."

She pretended to gag. "Ugh. And it's totally overused. Try again."

"Buffy then." he said. "We could name her Buffy Cordelia."

"Ha! No thank you. It took me years to forgive my mother for this, we are *not* gonna put the curse on our daughter."

"Considering our pasts with curses, this would be a minor one." Angel said.

"I also like the name Hennessy," she announced.

"Um, what about Anne?" he suggested. "It means Grace."

"I know. It happens to be my middle name."

"That's why I picked it."

"You know," Buffy glanced at the newborn in her arms. "Now that I'm looking at her, she sort of looks like a Mejandra Willow."

"All right, all right! You win." he threw his hands up in the air and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?" Buffy demanded.

"To tell the nurse we've--you've picked out a name."

He left and Buffy smiled at the five-hour-old, speaking to her in a quite voice about how she was special and beautiful and amazing and extremely loved. She was still talking with Angel returned with a nurse who hooked a new bracelet on both Buffy and the baby, then left.

Buffy beamed when she looked down at the name on the bracelet.

Connelly, Mariah Carey.
