As the nurse started to clean the baby and attach monitors the child started to cry. The nurse rushed to the doctor. "Doctor you need to come see this."
Buffy turned to Angel, "Angel what's wrong? Is something wrong with our baby?"
"I don't know Buffy but I'm going to find out." Angel left his wife and joined the doctor and nurse at the baby's warming bed. Lowering his voice Angel asked, "What's wrong with our son?"
"He seems to have been born with two teeth." The baby's mouth opened wide with his cry revealing two tiny fangs.
"Doctor?" The nurse asked uncertainly. She had seen a lot of strange things since she had moved to Sunnydale and this ranked right up there.
"Would you ask Giles to come in here?" Angel asked the nurse. He looked to the doctor conveying his need for privacy.
"Go ahead nurse." After nurse Joan exited the doctor looked expectedly.
"Angel, what's wrong?" Buffy's voice had a sharp edge of panic to it.
"Nothing baby." He turned and asked Doctor Mark, "Can Buffy hold him?"
"Of course, But we need to take him to the nursery soon." The doctor picked up the little boy and handed him to his father positing him in Angles' hands. "Hold him like this."
As Angel took the boy he stopped crying immediately. "You are a miracle little one, did you know that? Now how would you like to meet your Mommy? Would you like that, huh?" No matter who, it seemed that a baby could cause anyone to act like a fool. He handed the little boy to his wife. "He's beautiful Buffy, thank you." He kissed Buffy and then their baby.
Buffy took the baby from Angel and started to unwrap the blankets to inspect her son. "Is he okay Angel? Is our little boy normal?" Buffy started to calm now that she could hold her son. She could just feel that he was okay. It must be that mommy thing.
Giles entered the room in time to hear Buffy's question. He prayed for Buffy's sake that the baby was normal. Or as close as you could get with him having a slayer and a vampire for parents.
Buffy finished her inspection and announced their son perfect.
"The only thing abnormal about your son is that he was born with two teeth. It happens occasionally, as long as it doesn't cause a problem we won't need to do anything."
At the very moment the little boy in question opened his mouth and gave a big yawn. Buffy looked into the little mouth but saw nothing. "What teeth?"
