Summary: Number 4 in the New Beginning series. Buffy has a surprise.
Author: I had writers block on my othe fics and was really bored. This was written in about 15 minutes.

Buffy opened the door to Angel Investigations and walked in. It had been three months since she'd moved in and everything was perfect. She was just returning for an appointment with her doctor and couldn't wait to tell Angel what he had told her.

"Hey, Cordy," she called to Cordelia, who sat drumming her fingers on her desk, looking incredibly bored. "Is Angel in his office?"

"Yeah," Cordelia answered, "but Kate's in there too. She needed his help with case or something."

"Kate? Who's Kate?" Buffy asked with a hint of jealousy.

"Oh, that's right. You haven't met bitch cop lady yet," Cordelia remembered. "She's just a friend of Angel. They occasionaly help each other with cases."

"Oh," Buffy said, sitting down in the chair across from Cordelia's desk. "You don't like her?"

"Are you kidding? No!" Cordelia rolled her eyes. "She gets on my nerves." Cordelia propped her chin up on her hand and absentmindedly flipped through a file on her desk. "So, how was you doctor's appointment today?"

Buffy beamed. "You won't believe what the doctor told me."

"What?"

"He said I-" She stopped when she heard Angel's office door. "I'll tell ya later."

"So, I'll take a look at this and let you know if I find anything, okay?" Angel said as he and Kate stepped out his office.

"Angel," Buffy cried jumping out of her chair and running over to him, throwing her arms around his neck. "I missed you."

"Puh-lease, you where only gone for two hours." Cordelia rolled her eyes.

"I missed you too," Angel said, planting a firm kiss on her lips. He turned to Kate. "Kate, this is Buffy. My girlfriend. Buffy this is Kate."

Buffy smiled politely and shook the other woman's hand. "Nice to meet you."

"You too," Kate replied with a tight smile. "Well, I'd best going. Angel, call me as soon as you find anything."

Angel nodded and Kate walked out the door. He pulled Buffy into his office and she wrapped her arms around his neck as kissed her passionately.

"I have the best news," Buffy said excitedly, pulling back from the kiss.

"What?" Angel asked as he kissed his way down the side of her neck.

"The doctor said-"

The door burst open and Doyle ran in, slightly out of breath. "Sorry to interrupt, but I had a vision. A groups of slime demons attacking a bunch of homeless people that hang in the sewers."

Angel let go of Buffy and grabbed his leather duster from the chair behind his desk. He walked out the office door with Buffy close behind.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked her.

"With you."

"No," he said firmly. "I don't want you getting hurt. You're pregnant."

"Angel, I'm pregnant, not crippled. Besides I'm the Slayer. Nothing's going to happen to me."

"Please stay here," Angel said, giving her the sad puppy dog eyes he knew she couldn't resist.

"Don't do that!" Buffy clinched her eyes shut. When she opened them he was still giving her the look. "Fine. I'll stay this time. But next time I'm going with you."

"Alright. Deal." Angel agreed crossing his fingers behind his back. He leaned down and kissed her. "You can tell me what the doctor said when I get back."

"Kay. Be careful!"

"I will."

*Damn,* she thought as she hided to the elevator. *Is it possible to tell anybody anything around here.*

*****

Buffy sat on the couch, in her favorite pair of flannel pajamas, watching old reruns of Friends. She had been waiting hours for Angel to come home. She was starting to get really tired but she didn't want to go to bed until she had to Angel her news.

She yawned loudly and decided to stretch out on the couch. *Maybe if I just rest my eyes...*

*****

Angel walked into the office about an hour later. It had taken him longer then he thought to get to the demons. Doyle had given him the wrong directions and he ended up going in circles. He hoped Buffy wasn't worried. He hurried down the stairs to their apartment.

"Buffy," he called softly, walking into the living room. "I'm..." He trailed off when he saw her, sound asleep on the couch. He carefully picked her up, hoping he wouldn't wake her, and carried her into their bedroom.

"Angel," she stirred softly as he set her down on the bed.

"Shh, go back to sleep," he whispered gently.

"I tried... to stay... awake," she mumbled sleepily. "I wanted... tell you..."

"It's alright, baby, you can tell me in the morning." He shed his clothing and climbed into the bed next to her.

"Love you," she said, snuggling into his chest.

"I love you too."

*****

Buffy woke up the next morning with Angel arm draped possessively over her waist. She remembered she had yet to tell Angel her surprise. She shifted slightly so she was facing him. "Angel." She gently shook his shoulder. "Angel." He stirred but didn't wake up. "Angel!" When he still didn't wake up, she leaned over and kissed him.

She felt him respond and he flipped her over so she was under him.

"You faker," she accused. "You were awake the whole. You just want me to kiss you."

Angel smirked and started to kiss down the side the of her neck. "It worked didn't it?"

"Mmmm.. yeah," she mumbled arching her neck to give him better access. Then she remember she had to tell him something. "Angel, wait, I have to tell you something."

He rolled off of her and onto his side so he was facing her. "What is it?"

Buffy smiled. "Angel, you know how I said we were having *a* baby? Well," she paused, "I was wrong."

"What?" Angel gasped. He had been so happy when he learned he was going to be a father and now...

"We're having two."
