PROLOGUE

Buffy moaned softly as Angel placed passionate kisses on her neck. They were currently in her dorm room, spending some alone-time since they barely had time for each other because of classes and their job at @ Café

She slid her hands under his t-shirt and gently caressed his back. Easing his weight onto his hands, Angel raised himself off of her, to look down at her.

“Why do I have a sudden feeling that we’re about to get interrupted?”

“Maybe because every time we try to be together our friends always seem to interrupt.” Buffy replied, “But you don’t have to worry, they all know that we want to be alone tonight and they promised not to interrupt unless it’s an emergency.”

She wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him down, onto of her. Their lips met in an incredibly slow, incredibly deep, passionate kiss.

Angel began to unbutton her shirt as she pulled up his t-shirt. They broke apart to remove the t-shirt, only to kiss once more but with more urgency.

The door flew open and Cordelia and Doyle entered.

“This isn’t happening.” Buffy groaned as she pushed Angel off of her.

“I’m sorry but she insisted we come right away.” Doyle apologized as Buffy rebuttoned her shirt.

“What’s the big emergency?” Angel asked.

“All shall be revealed as soon as the others arrive.” Cordy replied.

“Why is it that whenever we hang out or news has to be revealed we always meet in my room?” Buffy complained.

“Because you don’t have any roommates and there’s more space in here.” The former cheerleader replied. Buffy glared at her.

A few minutes later Willow, Oz, Xander and Anya arrived. “So what’s up?” Anya asked, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.

“You know Spike?” the brunette asked them.

“Spike?” Buffy repeated.

“The guy who transferred at the beginning of this semester from NYU”

Buffy just stared at her blankly.

“Peroxide hair, pervert. Attended Sunnydale high with us, my boyfriend towards the end of senior year.”

“The one who tried to feel me up in the lunch line and I ended up kicking him where it hurts the most?” Buffy asked.

“That’s the one. There’s a rumor going around that the reason why he transferred to UCLA was because he killed his parents and he’s wanted by the police in New York.”

“Okay and what was the point of calling us all?” Oz asked.

“Well I just wanted you to know this-“ they groaned at her. “And to say that James called to say we have to work during Spring Break, which means we won’t be able to go to Palm Springs.”

They groaned again. “Why does he need us to work?” Angel asked.

“Kate had told all the other waiters they don’t have to work and when James questioned her about this, she told him she didn’t think we were working hard enough so she gave us all the shifts.”

“I don’t like her anymore.” Buffy muttered.

“Buff you’ve never liked her.” Xander said.

“Yes I have.” The blonde protested.

“You’ve never liked her because on the first day we started working at the Café, she made a pass at Angel.” Willow told her.

Buffy made a face at the redhead. “And even though Angel has told her that you are his girlfriend, she has continued to flirt with him.” Cordy added.

“You’re right I’ve always hated her but now I hate her even more.”

“If she wasn’t manager I’d like to kick her where it hurts the most.” Anya stated.

CHAPTER 1

A few days later the gang all sat in the @ Café’s staff lounge taking a break, they were all exhausted because the restaurant had been packed with college students all morning and early afternoon.

“Willow! Table 5 needs serving.” Kate said coming into the room. The redhead groaned and moved to get up but Oz stopped her. “I’ll do it sweetie.”

She gave him a smile, ”Thank you.”

“I’m sorry but you are only the bus boy and there are several tables that needs cleaning. So Xander I suggest you go with him” Kate said then turned to Angel and smiled sweetly, “Could you give me a hand, I can’t reach the top shelf in the store room and we are out of ketchup. You think you could get a box down for me.”

“Sure.” Angel pointedly kissed Buffy softly.

“I hate her.” Buffy muttered when she had left along with Angel, Willow, Xander and Oz.

“Come on Buff admit it, you’re jealous.” Anya said.

“Jealous? Of her? Please! I don’t even feel that emotion. That emotion no longer exists in my body. And jealous of what?”

“Jealous that maybe Angel secretly likes her.” Cordy replied.

“Angel doesn’t like her…does he?”

“He doesn’t but you might think so because of all the time they spend together.” Anya said.

“You two aren’t helping!”

CHAPTER 2

“Buffy, I need to tell you something.” Angel told his girlfriend once she had seated a couple to table. She and Cordy were hostesses because they sucked at waiting tables.

“Okay.” Buffy led him over to the counter.

“Kate just offered me sex.”

“WHAT!”

“I said-“

“I heard you! What was your response to that?”

“I told her that I have a girlfriend whom I love very much.”

Through temporary insanity Buffy didn’t believe him, “You know what Angel go have sex with her! Go out and have a million babies with her because I don’t care anymore.”

“Buffy-“

“And don’t you dare say I’m jealous!!!!” the blonde hit his shoulder before storming off.

**********

“Buff, don’t you think you’re overreacting?” Willow asked gently.

“Yes…No…Maybe…I just don’t want to lose him.” Buffy replied.

“But you’re not going to lose him. Angel loves you A LOT.” Cordy said.

“I know that. But Kate has more…guts to actually offer a guy sex and maybe he likes girls like that.”

“Buffy you’ve been best friends with him since you were like 3 or something. You know him better than you know yourself. Do you honestly think he’s into whores?” Cordy asked.

“Well no-“

“Case closed. Go to your boyfriend, make up and act like bunnies.” Cordy said.

“I can’t”

“Why not?” Willow asked.

“Because I made a complete fool out of myself and I’m not ready to face him yet.” Buffy jumped off the bathroom sink and headed to the door. “Besides if we don’t get back to work soon that bitch will have a cow.”

CHAPTER 3

By nightfall Buffy still hadn’t talked to Angel and she wasn’t quite sure why.

*I’ll talk to him as soon as we finish our shift.* she told herself.

A giggle brought her out of her thoughts and she turned to see Kate in full flirt-mode with Angel. The manager was practically pushing her breasts into Angel’s chest.

Buffy’s anger hit a breaking point and she marched over to them.

“Alright Kate, that is it! Get your boobs away from him!”

“God what is your problem?”

“That is my boyfriend you’re fawning all over and I don’t appreciate it!”

“Then why didn’t you confront me before?”

“Because…because I have issues.”

“Clearly.”

“Look the point is he’s not yours, he’s mine and I have waited way too long to be with him and I’m not giving up without a fight. So should you choose to continue draping yourself all over him like the slutty wench that you are, you and me we gonna throw down!”

Kate gasped, while Buffy suddenly realized she was standing in the middle of the Café and everyone was staring at them. “Are you happy? Now I’m jealous.” She told her boyfriend before walking away.

**********

“Buffy?” Angel called into the staff’s lady’s restroom. There was no response, so he started to close the door.

“You can come in, just follow the trail of loser-dust.” she replied and he entered the bathroom.

“Buffy, why are you crying?” he asked in concern when he found her sitting in a corner her knees drawn tightly against her chest.

“I don’t know but its such a girly thing to do.” She replied wiping the tears away.

“Well you’re such a girl.” Angel replied and she giggled slightly.

“You’re not supposed to make fun, you’re supposed to be angry,” she whispered.

“Angry for what?”

“For making a huge scene and embarrassing you.”

“Well I’m not angry, I’m actually happy.” Buffy looked at him with a question in her eyes. ”I’m happy because I now know that I still have the power to make you jealous” The blonde hit him lightly on the arm and he grinned before kissing her softly.

CHAPTER 4

Over the next few days Buffy and Angel were practically joined to the hip, much to Kate’s annoyance. And the entire gang had talked to James, the owner of @ Café; and was given time off for the rest of Spring Break.

“So what are you and Angel doing tonight?” Willow asked as she, Buffy, Cordy and Anya made their way to the dorms after a day of shopping.

“We’re going to dinner, then a movie, since we haven’t had a proper date in ages.” The blonde replied.

“Yeah, you’re too preoccupied on having sex 24/7.” Cordy replied with a sweet smile.

Buffy shot her a look, “Not true! Angel and I do other stuff besides sex, when we’re alone.”

“Like what?” Anya asked.

“Um…we…we talk.”

“About?” Cordy asked.

“…Stuff.”

“What stuff?” Willow prodded.

“Um…School?”

Her friends shot her a dubious look and the blonde sheepishly admitted, “Okay so we don’t do much besides have sex when we’re alone but we have good reasons for doing so!”

“Oh, I’d like to hear this.” Cordy stated as Buffy unlocked her dorm room and they entered, finding comfortable places to sit.

“Okay, Angel and I have been doing each other for a few years and we normally do it every day. So for us to, like, limit our sex life to once or twice a week is very, VERY, weird and totally unnatural.”

“Or maybe you’re just a nymphomaniac.” Cordy said and Anya nodded, “That makes much more sense.”

The door opened and Angel entered, causing Buffy’s playful glare at Anya and Cordelia to turn into a huge smile.

“Nympho.” Cordy muttered and Buffy shot her another look before she turned to her boyfriend, “Hey, what are you doing here?” she asked.

He shrugged and kissed her softly before settling behind her on the bed, wrapping his arms around her waist.

“Weren’t you and the guys supposed to do some male-bonding thing?” Willow asked.

“Yeah but then Spike showed up and we split up in hopes that he would leave us alone. Cordelia what made you go out with him?”

“I dunno, I guess I wanted to get over the humiliation of Xander cheating on me.” The former May queen replied.

“You must’ve been really desperate,” Angel muttered and he earned a smack from both Cordy and Buffy.

“So what did you do today?” he asked changing the subject.

“We went shopping and can I say, Angel you are going to drop dead when you see what Buffy bought from Fredrick’s of Hollywood.” Anya stated.

Angel eyed his girlfriend, whose face had turned a deep shade of red. He leaned down to whisper in her ear, “Can I take a peek now?”

She shook her head, “You’ll only see it after we go to dinner and a movie.”

“We’re going out? I thought we were going to just order take-out and rent a movie.” He said.

“We always do that and we never get to see the movie or even eat because we get distracted.” Buffy said, “And besides we haven’t been on a proper date in a long time and I want one tonight.”

“Okay. So where we going?”

Buffy shrugged and Willow suggested, “You could go to that Mexican restaurant we went to last week.”

“I liked that place, thanks for the suggestion Will.” Buffy said.

“What movie are you gonna see?” Cordy asked.

“Legally Blonde.” Buffy replied before Angel could.

“Great another chick flick.” He muttered and his girlfriend smacked him again.

Chapter 5

After they had dinner and watched the movie, which Angel ended up enjoying, the couple decided to take a stroll at the beach.

“So do you think Spike killed his parents?” Buffy asked.

“No, Xander asked him and he said his parents are alive and living in New York.”

“Why’d he transfer to UCLA?”

“His parents were controlling his life too much and he got sick of it.”

“Oh… do you think he’s still got it bad for Cordy?”

“I don’t know and I don’t care cuz the last thing I want to do now is talk about Spike.”

“Okay, then what do you wanna talk about?” She asked, ceasing her steps and sliding her arms around his neck.

“Absolutely nothing.’ He replied before kissing her softly.

Within moments the kiss turned passionate and he lowered her to the soft sand.

When the need for oxygen became to great, they broke apart and a devilish grin broke out on Buffy’s face, “You wanna go do it in the water?”

The smile on his face was her answer and the couple quickly kicked off their shoes before rushing into the cold water.

Passion overtook them in moments and they discarded their wet clothes carelessly onto the beach.

**********

“Wow.” Buffy commented breathlessly when they collapsed onto the sand a while later.

“You can say that again.” Angel replied wrapping his arms around her. They lay in comfortable silence for several moments then Buffy sat up, glancing around, “Uh, Angel, where are our clothes?”

He sat upright quickly and scanned the area, “Uh oh”

“Uh oh?!” Buffy repeated beginning to panic, “There can’t be an uh oh, I hate uh oh’s.”

“It’s probably still in the water.” Angel said, moving to get up.

“Thank God there’s no one around.” Buffy said with a giggle.

“Guess again” a voice said from behind them and they slowly turned around to find a policeman standing before them, shining a flashlight in their eyes. His partner came up beside him and tossed the couple blankets.

“Lets get going.” The one stated and ushered the couple to the vehicle.

“We are going to be in so much trouble.” Angel whispered to his girlfriend.

Chapter 6

“Hello?” Cordy said groggily into her cell phone, while snuggling back into Doyle’s embrace.

“Cordy. Thank God. I…we need your help.” Buffy said from the police station.

“This better be good Buffy. I need my beauty arrest.” The brunette snapped.

“Angel and I got arrested.” Buffy said getting to the point.

“What?!” Cordy screeched, waking her boyfriend.

“I’m not repeating myself.” Buffy said, growing irritated.

“How did this happen?”

“I’ll explain when you get here. I need you to bail us out please.”

“With what money?”

“I don’t know, use your credit card or whatever.”

“Can’t. Daddy put a limited amount of credit on it for the month and I used it up when we went shopping today.”

“Okay then ask the others. Cordy you must get us outta here soon! I think I might catch something if I stay any longer in that disgusting cell.”

“Okay. What precinct are you?”

“5th.”

“See you soon.” The former May queen hung up and Doyle queried, “Precinct?”

“Buffy and Angel got arrested. Got any money?”

“Not much.”

“We gotta call the others.”

**********

“Mom?!” Both Angel and Buffy exclaimed simultaneously from their jail cell 2 hours later.

“Let me the first to say you are both idiots.” Diane stated as the guard unlocked the gate.

“Here put this on.” Joyce handed the couple jackets as they made their way to the front desk.

“How did you-“ Buffy began.

“Your friends called, they didn’t have enough money to bail you out and they called us. Be very thankful that your father does not know about this.” Joyce replied.

“When we get back to the dorms we’re going to have a nice chat.” Diane added.

Both Buffy and Angel suppressed groans, knowing this ‘chat’ was going to take hours.

Chapter 7

“So what did your mom say?” Willow asked the blonde the following day. She, Buffy, Cordy and Anya sat outside Stevenson Hall, enjoying the sunny day.

“Well, she and Diane gave us a lecture, surprise, surprise. Then they totally stunned us when they said that they weren’t mad at us, just shocked that we and I quote ‘Are stupid enough to actually get caught.’”

“Oh my God. They were actually happy you guys did it in a public place?” Cordy asked.

“Not happy, just okay with the idea.”

“I wish my parents were like that.” Cordy murmured.

“Anyway they said they wouldn’t tell our dad’s and that they will pretend that it never happened.” Buffy said.

“Under what condition?” Anya asked.

“We have to visit during summer.”

“I can’t believe they let it slide so easy.” Willow said.

“Neither can I. But I have definitely learnt my lesson, I am never having sex in a public place again.”

“Really?” Anya asked, surprised.

“Well, maybe in a few weeks I’ll give it a try again.” Buffy admitted.

“That’s more like it.” Anya replied.

**********

“Hey.” Buffy greeted, entering her boyfriends dorm room later that afternoon. “Hey,” he replied with a happy grin.

“I was thinking, that maybe it would be best if we have our dates in my dorm room eating take out and renting movies. Much safer.” She said as she laid next to him on the bed.

Angel chuckled softly, “But still it would be nice for us to get arrested every two months or so, that way we’ll know our sex life is never boring.”

“Then we’d have to face our mothers every time, I don’t think so.” Buffy said, “But I am up for having sex in a public place again.”

“Oh yeah. Where?”

“Dunno, maybe in a Club Skunk or something.”

“Works for me.” Angel leaned over and kissed her passionately.

Epilogue

Several Weeks Later

“Angel what’s up with your girlfriend? She’s been avoiding us for days.” Cordy asked as she filled to large mugs with coffee.

She, Angel and Willow were at @ Café doing their night shift.

“I don’t know, she won’t tell me. I was actually hoping you or Willow would be able to get it out of her.” Angel replied as he wiped down the counter.

“We can’t get it out of her.” Willow said, “Maybe she’s just got the blues.”

“Why would she have the blues?” Cordy asked.

The redhead shrugged, “It was just a thought.”

“Angel I think you should beat it out of her.” The former cheerleader said.

“What?!”

“Well, not actually beat her but prod her a lot so that she gets annoyed and blurts out what’s bothering her.”

“Okay.” Angel said absentmindedly his attention drawn to the entrance of the coffee house.

His girlfriend had just entered.

“I’m taking my break.” He said to Kate.

“Whatever.” The manager replied. She had moved on from her crush with Angel and was now sinking her paws into Spike, who had recently started working there.

“Hi.” Buffy greeted, kissing her boyfriend softly.

“Hey.” He led her over to an empty booth and sat down, “You okay?”

“Uh-huh. I was just taking a walk and I had a sudden craving for a mocha.” She replied.

“Can I ask you something?” he asked.

“Sure.”

“Why have you been avoiding me?”

“I haven’t been avoiding you.”

Angel gave her a look and she smiled sheepishly, “Okay, so maybe I have but it’s because I’ve been busy studying for finals.”

“Buffy you never study and when you do it’s only because Willow and I force you.”

Buffy smiled again, “I know but, um, I’ve decided to be a good girl and I decided to study on my own.”

“Buffy come on, you can tell me anything. What’s bothering you?” he asked gently.

Her smile faded and after several long moments a single tear slipped out her eye as she whispered,” I’m pregnant.”

Well? What do you think?
