"What time are they coming?" Angel asked his wife

"6:30, I think"

"Mommy! My hat's too big!" 3 year old Jackie said as she ran down the stairs with a black pointy hat in her hands. She handed the hat to Buffy, who laughed a little.

"Sweetie this isn't your hat, it's aunt Willow's, yours is on your bed."

"Otay tanks mommy!" she yelled already running back up the stairs. "Emma's awake!" she yelled once she had reached her bedroom. Angel ran upstairs to get their youngest daughter and on the way up he nearly ran into his 6 year old son Trevor.

"I'm ready for the teeth daddy!" He said excited to be dressing up as a vampire for Halloween.

"Mommy has them"

"Otay" he said running down the stairs as fast as he could "Mommy!"

"Stop it!" Rachel yelled at her older brother Trey who was trying to take the white sheet away from her. "I'm the ghost Trey! You said you wanted to be Frankenstine!"

"And you were gonna be a princess" He said tugging the sheet away from her and running downstairs with it.

"Stephanie's the princess Trey!" 4 year old Rachel yelled running after her brother.

"Okay then you be Frankenstien!" He said ducking behind Buffy who was helping Trever with his teeth.

"Woah! Rachel stop"she said catching her daughter by the arm. "What's wrong?"

"Mommy Trey tried to take my ghost costume, but he's supposed to be Frankenstien"

"Trey you know Rachel was going as the ghost" Buffy said her voice warning her son not to argue.

"I know but Frankenstien is stupid"

"You make a great Frankenstien, no go get ready"

"But mom-"

"No buts go" she pointed to the stairs.

"Fine" Trey huffed crossing his arms as he stomped loudly up the stairs, just as his father came down with 7 month old Emma.

"Daddy, do I look like a princess?" Stephanie said spinning into the room.

"You'll always be my princess" Angel said kissing his daughters cheek.

"Here you go Rachel" Buffy said flipping the sheet over Rachel's head and moved it so the eyes were in front. Rachel then walked over to Stephanie and stood beside her, "Can you tell we're twins now?"

"Not at all" Angel said as the doorbell rang.

"I've got it" Trever attempted to say his fake teeth slurring the words.

"Hi everyone!" Willow announced as she came inside.

"Willow!" Jackie said running down the stairs and launching herself into Willow's arms.

"How's my little witch?" Willow asked

"Good" Jackie grinned.

"Hey everyone" Oz said as he came to the door with their red-headed daughter Carly.

"Hey guys come on in, sorry the place is sort of a mad house tonight, the kids are way hyper, but I think they're finally ready" Buffy said glancing at her children: a ghost, a witch, princess, and vampire...but no Frankenstien. "Trey honey are you ready yet?! Carly's here!" She yelled up the stairs.

Within seconds Trey was downstairs, "Hey Carly" he said to his tom-boy best friend who was dressed as a black cat.

"So Oz are you coming with me?" Angel asked

"Hey there people" Xander said hopping through the open door.

"Xander!" Buffy said surprised, "You made it"

"Of course! Couldn't miss my man Trevor trick-or-treating right bud?" He said hi-fiving the 6 year old.

"Well then I wish you luck"

"You're not coming with us Buffster?" Xander asked disappointed the girls wouldn't be joining them.

"No we went last year, it's the boy's turn" Willow said popping a piece of Halloween candy into her mouth.

"Like I said good luck." Buffy took Emma from Angel and kissed him goodbye

"Yuck!" Stephanie and Rachel said heading out the door.

"Bye, I love you, be careful" Buffy said to her kids and husband as she slowly closed the door behind them. She then collapsed on the couch beside Willow. "I love the quiet"

"I bet," Willow grinned, "It's hard to find quiet with one"

The doorbell rang causing Buffy to groan as she got up from the couch with Emma in her arms she tried to open the door.

"Hi Buffy!"

"Cordelia! I didn't know you were-" Buffy started looking at Cordelia's large stomach, "Congratulations!"

"Hi there Buffy" Doyle said coming up behind his wife

"Doyle congrats!" Buffy was so happy for her friends. Cordy and Doyle made a great couple, and after all Doyle was the one who had found the way to restore Angel's hummanity 7 years ago.

"You gonna let us in or do we have to stand out here?"

"Oh, sorry come in" Buffy stepped back allowing them to enter her house.

"Is this Emma?" Cordy asked her friend

"This is Emma"

"So what number is she? Four?"

"Six"

"Wow, at the rate you're going you'll have one for every year you're married."

*****

Stephanie wrapped her tiny hand around her fathers as the group walked up the steps to the house next door, where one of those spooky noise tapes was playing. Their neighbor Trent opened the door and the group yelled "Trick or Treat!"

"Hi guys" 18 year old Trent said to his little neighbors, "Where's your mom?" He asked. Trent had a crush on Buffy, which was the only reason he babysat for them from time to time.

"Mommy's home with Emma"

"Oh" he said disappointed, "Here you go guys" he put 2 lollypops in each bag.

"Thanks Twent!" Jackie said as they left for the next house.

*****

Just as Buffy was about to shut the door behind a group of trick-or-treaters, a black cat jumped up onto the porch and started to enter the door. Buffy bent down and scooped the cat up. "Hey kitty, where did you come from?"

"Buffy!" Trent said coming up to her and pulling the cat away from her trying to touch her arm. "I see you found Muffin"

"Yeah.."

"So uh...are you alone?"

"No my friends are here, so I should probably go in now. Bye Trent" She shut the door before he could reply.

She walked back to the living room where her friends were talking. "Sorry guys the neighbor boy Trent, Angel thinks he has a crush on me because he asked me to a movie once...Like it isn't obvious I'm happily married, I have 6 kids!"

*****

"Daddy I have to go to the bathroom!" Jackie whined. Angel groaned, they were at least 4 blocks from the house.

"Oops!" Trey gasped as the sticky lollypop he had been sucking on fell from his hand right into Stephie's hair.

"Trey!" Stephanie yelled grasping at her hair trying to pull the lollypop out but only making it worse.

"Sweetie no" Angel stopped her "It's okay we'll let mommy get it out."

"Okay daddy"

"Okay lets go home guys"

"Daddy no!" Trever yelled.

"My bag's not even full yet" Rachel added looking up with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry guys but-"

"Daddy!" he was interrupted by Jackie "I welly gotta go!" She started crying so Angel picked her up and they started walking back to the house.

"We're home" Angel announced 10 minutes later as he felt a warm liquid running down his side. "Oh Jackie"

Her lower lip quivered "I'm sorry daddy I couldn't help it"

"Shh it's okay" He pushed her witch hat back and kissed her forehead.

"Ha Angel got peed on" Xander laughed hysterically until Oz elbowed him in the gut. They then went inside to find Buffy and Willow waiting by the door.

"Mommy Trey dropped a sucker in my hair" Stephanie said crying. Buffy looked to Angel who just shrugged.

"What's wrong with Jackie?" Buffy asked gesturing to the girl crying on Angel's shoulder.

"She had to go to the bathroom, we didn't make it home in time" Buffy had to stop herself from laughing.

"Come on Jackie let's go get cleaned up" Angel carried his 3 year old daughter up to the bathroom.

"So did you have fun Carly?" Willow asked her daughter.

Carly nodded fiercely "Trey gave me half of his candy!"

"Hey mom!" Trevor yelled from the kitchen, "Can I have some pie with Cordy?!"

"Yes but be quiet, Emma's sleeping"

"Sorry mommy!" he yelled

"Shh"

"Sorry" he whispered then turned to Cordelia who was getting up to cut the pie. "No don't get up I can cut it"

"You sure Trev?" Cordy asked sitting back down.

"Mm-hmm" he nodded "I cut pie for mommy when she was pregnant with Emma" he said taking a piece of pie and setting it on a plate. He then tried to carry two plates over to Cordy but tripped on something dropping the plates which shattered on the ground. Trevor started crying.

Buffy rushed in "Are you o-" she cut off as she saw his hands which were cut by the shattered plates. "God you're bleeding"

"It hurts mommy!" he cried.

"What happened?" Willow asked as she and Oz entered the room followed by Angel.

"He tripped and fell and the plates broke" Cordy informed them.

"Come on Trev let's get some band-aides for you"

"OKay mommy" He sniffed.

"Jackie, Rachel, Stephie and Trey are getting ready for bed" Angel said

"Oz and I'll clean up the plates" Willow said, "And then we should probably go home"

"Cordy you and Doyle can stay in the den I'll get the fold out couch ready for you" Angel said, and led the way to the den.

*****

"Well everyone's finally asleep" Buffy said coming into the bedroom she collapsed on the bed beside her husband.

"Talk about an eventful night huh?"

"Yes but it's still better than that one Halloween"

"Yeah can you imagine how much worse it would've been if the kids had turned into their costumes?" He asked

"I don't even want to think about it" She sighed.

"Tired?" he asked.

"Not too tired..." she said gleam in her eyes.

"Me either" He said kissing her and they fell back onto the bed.

*****

Downstairs Cordy and Doyle sighed. "I think I understand why they have six kids now"

Did you hate it? I hope not please let me know what you think!
