Buffy settled down on the couch next to her husband. She had to tell Angel before another distraction came.

"Angel, I have some great news!"

He looked up from the book he was reading. "What is it, Love?"

"I'M-"

"Mama! Dada! NOOO!"

Both got off the couch and headed to their son's bedroom.

Inside he was having a bad dream.

**Liam's Dream**

Mama was in the kitchen making dinner. Dada was hugging and kissing her. Mama's stomach was really round. They were laughing and then Dada picked him up and swung him around. They were happy.

All of a sudden, men with distorted faces burst in and killed Mama and Dada. They had sharp teeth and yellow eyes. Liam tried to get away but he couldn't move. One of the men came over to him and pulled him onto the table and he was forced to watch his parents die. He couldn't help.

"Mama! Dada! NOOO!" He tried to shout, but nothing came out.

**Reality**

Liam burst upright in bed and was soon enveloped into his mom's strong, comforting arms. He was sobbing and tears ran down his face.

When Buffy had calmed Liam down some, she asked her son what his dream was about.

"There were four men with really ugly faces. They killed you!"

Buffy looked at her husband. Then back at Liam.

"What did they look like?"

"They had yellow eyes and really pointy teeth!"

Angel looked over at his wife. VAMPIRES, he mouthed. Buffy nodded.

"Don't worry about it, anymore. Dada and I will always be here to protect you and if we're not, there will Be Auntie Dawn, Cordelia, Willow, Doyle, Oz, and Gamma. Not to mention Tess and Kate's parents. So, you will always have someone. No matter what. And for the moment, we are here. Just go back to sleep my son. Just remember that Dada and I will always love you."

They tucked Liam back in and Angel sang his son a lullaby his mother used to sing to him as a child. Once he was happily asleep, they left the room and went back to the living room.

"Angel, do you think Liam could have inherited my prophetic dreams?"

"It's possible. Liam has had nothing happen to him to spur such a dream. Besides, it could be years off, who knows."

"I just don't want our children to know the darkness out there. At least not at such a young age."

There was silence for a couple of seconds.

Angel turned to his wife and smiled. "Children?"

"Congrats, Dada. I'm pregnant!"

Angel hugged his wife and began to kiss her. They both up and hurried to their bedroom to celebrate.
