SUMMARY: What's Buffy's big secret? The honeymoon suite had been everything Buffy had ever imagined. The Four Seasons was a beautiful hotel and she and Angel had been in a wonderful, kissy mood ever since they'd left the church. It had actually been a whole week since they'd made love and she knew that tonight was going to be extra special, but she was scared to death that once she put her gorgeous new teddy on that Angel would be able to tell she was pregnant. At five months, there was a sizable bulge that she'd easily been able to conceal with clothing in the past, and Angel wasn't exactly looking at their body when they usually made love, so it hadn't been a problem. Now though.... She struggled to fit into it, slid into the furry high heeled slippers and opened the bathroom door, leaning against the fame. Angel gasped and dropped the champagne glasses he'd been holding. "I love you," she told him as she walked closer to him. "But before we make love, I have to tell you something." "What?" he asked, still staring at her body. "Sit down," she sat on the turned down bed and he sat next to her. She couldn't help but notice how nice he looked in the leather pants he'd worn just for her and for a moment, she debated having the sex first and telling the truth later. No, she decided, I have to tell him. "Angel," she began, "When I told you I remembered....there's sort of more to it then that. I remembered when I found out something. Something major." "What?" he asked, his eyes suddenly serious, his hands holding her protectively. "Please don't be mad at me for not telling you sooner," she whispered. "I just....every time I tried I chickened out, and then I thought this would be the perfect time to do it." "Just tell me Buffy," he said softly. "I promise I won't get angry." She took a deep breath and blurted it out. "We'regoingtohaveababy." "What?" he broke into a huge smile. "We're gonna have a baby," she said simply. "I guess back in November...when I found out, all the memories came tumbling back at me. It's like it was meant to be. We were meant to be together." "We are." Angel kissed her. "I love you. I love you so much." he moved down and kissed her belly. "And I love you too." "I already have an appointment for an ultrasound when we get back to LA," she told him. "I want you to come with me." "I wouldn't miss it for anything," he told her, kissing her again. "Why would you think I'd be mad, Buffy? This is the best news you could ever give me." "I guess I was just worried you'd be mad that I'd kept it from you so long." "I can't say I'm thrilled about it," he said dryly. "And I don't like that you went on about patrolling and everything while carrying our child, but I'm just so grateful that you're both okay. You have no idea how much this child means to me." "To *us*, Angel." she said, placing his hand under hers and resting them on her belly. "This is our baby. Pretty amazing, huh?" He nodded and slowly covered her body with his. "Have you..." he asked while kissing her neck. "Thought at all...." kiss, kiss. "About names?" "Yeah, but I was wondering..ohhhh...if you wanted to find out the baby's sex when we have the ultrasound." She moaned slightly when he stopped kissing her to meet her eyes. "What do you want to do?" "I want to wait and find out when the baby is born," she said. "But I'm open to hear your opinion." "I can wait if you can," he agreed. "Good. Angel?" "Hmm? "What do you think of the name--ahhhhh. Keep doing that." "I don't know. Would we call him or her Kee for short?" She snorted. "Let's talk about names later." "I have no complaints. Angel returned to what he was doing and for the moment, all thoughts of baby names were lost. The lovers became caught up in each other and the magick of the special relationship they shared.
