Buffy lay on the bed reading the glamour magazine. Giles had been strangely missing. He was occupied with Watcher business the last few days and had not been around. Willow and Buffy had bonded more deeply over their joint pregnancies. The boys had enjoyed the togetherness factor, hanging out as friends and not being too blatant sexually allowing the girls to become more accepting of their bond.
Buffy was more mobile now, and was happy to be getting around with just a cane. She was finally now healing incredibly fast, but it was slower than her usual healing speed. She wasn't used to the long convalescence and it irritated her.
Willow looked at her then at Xander and Angelus. She bite her lip then leaned over to whisper to Buffy. "You know what? Since we got together… You know I would like to watch? I want to watch them make out… nothing more."
Buffy looked back at Willow in shock. "You want to watch them do WHAT?" she glanced at them working on a puzzle at the table.
Willow looked at her, a wicked grin on her face. "Oh come on it, you can't tell me it hasn't crossed your mind to watch them!"
Buffy looked over at them sitting near each other and looked back at Willow. "No! I saw way to much that day..." she denied it but she was blushing, her face scarlet. She obviously had.
Willow pressed her point. "I don't mean sex Buffy, I mean making out. It might give us insight on what they like more. She licked her lips.
"I dunno will what if they like it better than with us?" Buffy was still insecure about the sexual aspect and the pull of the Dire/fledgling bond. She couldn't believe Willow was worldlier about alternative sex. But then Willow had the Internet, and it was always the quiet ones who shocked you.
Willow sighed. "Buffy Angelus loves you, we need in turn to show how much we love them and not act too insecure about it. Watching them make out will help them and be hot for us!"
Buffy nodded. "I guess I am insecure. But Will, we can't just ask them to make out so we can watch!"
Willow laughed. "Sure we can, and I bet they will do it too!" With that thought, Buffy blushed.
Willow looked up from Buffy and called over to Angelus and Xander who were lost in their working on the puzzle. "Hey guys.. We have a question."
Angelus looked at Willow as Xander looked up and address Willow. "Yeah what do you want?"
"Buffy and I are curious, and well, to be blunt, we want to watch you two make out. Nothing more, but make out. So we can see how guys do it." Buffy was mortified the usually shy Willow had the guts to ask and was hiding her face in a pillow.
Angelus looked at Buffy with a grin. "Is that true lover?" She nodded not removing her face form the pillow
Xander looked at Willow. He couldn't believe their luck in what they were asking. "Are you sure baby?" Xander looked at Angelus, a grin on his face and laughter in his eyes. "What do you say?"
Angelus looked back with a matching grin. "Who are to tell our ladies no?" Xander nodded as he got up and kicked his shoes off lay out on the bed between Buffy and Willow. He looked up in Willows eyes and smiled knowing this was her doing. She was going g to make this multiparty relationship work he just knew it!
Angelus got up and moved over next to Xander lying slightly on top of him. He stroked his hair and cheek and then kissed his ear. Willow watched fascinated as Angelus kissed and stroked lightly Xander as Xander stroked Angelus's face and kissed his cheek. He nuzzled Angelus' neck, which he knew drove him crazy.
Buffy watched, fascinated to see them kissing and touching. She forgot to hide as Angelus and Xander kissed and nuzzled each other in front of them. She found it incredibly erotic and to her surprise she had an incredibly strong urge to reach out and join them.
Angelus growled at him then kissed him on the lips. Xander opened his mouth and accepted his mouth and his tongue in his, submitting entirely to Angelus and his demanding mouth. Willow looked at Buffy and saw by her faintly flushed cheeks and her panting that she too felt reaching out and touching as well.
Xander reached up and stroked Angelus's face and ran his fingers through his hair. This was heaven for a fledgling, to have his sires undivided attention and touch. He had a raging hard on.
Buffy didn't realize her hand had gone out to touch. She stroked rather indiscriminately. Seeing how the guys were both lost in their sensation of each other they never noticed. Angelus moaned and looked at Buffy when he flt the warmth of her hand. He could smell her arousal. She was finding it erotic!
Never leaving Xander he leaned over kissing her. Willow reach out touching Xander, playing with his hair, she kissed him open and trusting, totally relaxed. Buffy was watching them kiss, it had been totally erotic!
Angelus moved some but not totally off Xander, but to give him better access to Willow.
Xander decided to take a chance and he reached out and kissed Buffy lightly on the cheek. He didn't want to displease Angelus. He looked up from the kiss to see that Angelus looking at him nodding that it was OK.
Willow looked at Xander then kissed him on the mouth. Willow then drew back and as Angelus was about to kiss Xander she pulled Angelus her kissing him. Willow felt how cooler Angelus was to the touch and how stronger his lips were. Angelus kissed Willow deeply then looked at Buffy to see what she would do. Angelus moaned at Willows kiss, she was good
Buffy watched as Willow kissed Angelus and found she had no jealously. She was watching while stroking and petting Xander like a cat. Buffy watched and then kissed Xander. Not the little friend peck he was used to getting but a long slow loving kiss of a woman to a man. Willow moaned back while stroking on Xander.
A loud knocking on the door stopped them. "Slayer Prime… The Council is ready to speak with you as you asked." A voice called through the wood.
Buffy pulled away form the group and sighed. "Oh well duty calls. I'll be back." she obviously wasn't happy about being interrupted.
Angelus growled under his breath loud enough for them to here but not the knocker. "Go away we're busy." Willow giggled.
"NO I have been waiting for this meeting. They called the council together just for me" she climbed out of bed as they all separated.
Angelus sighed. "Bunch of… OK, OK I'll be nice... should we wait till you get back lover?" he asked her in deference so she would not be standing in the council meeting wondering what she was missing.
She nodded. "I think that sounds absolutely delightful"
Angelus nodded moving from the bed. He looked at Xander. "You two can play, but I want to wait till Buffy gets back." They nodded agreement and parted more.
She got off the bed and watched as Angelus and Xander straightened themselves, poorly hiding their raging erections and went back tot her puzzle shifting in their seats. She nodded and watched Willow as she licked her lips and headed out the door. Willow went back to her book.

Buffy went down the long halls to the Council chamber and entered when the guard indicated. The council was there just for her and she felt graced by it. She entered and looking around the table of the men and woman who led the Watchers she smiled and sat in the large comfortable chair.
Buffy got right to the point. "I need to know the council's plans for how they will cover my obligations during the pregnancy and the recuperative period with the babies."
Sir Randolph Prescott looked somewhat annoyed. "You could have asked through your Watcher and not called the Council meeting."
Buffy sighed. "Yeah but I wouldn't see the faces of the people who have my life and my babies lives in their hands. I saw how you sent the slayers to their deaths and you never even cared. We are expendable resource. When on dies, the other is called. It pisses me off!"
They responded to that. They talked among themselves. Prescott got up and looked at her. "From your position I can see how you would. We work our life for the Slayer whoever she may be. We cannot be overly attached to just one. Her life may be brief but important. The world is what matters."
A woman took over. "We were going to send Kendra to you. she will protect you and the Hellmouth. She will stay as long as she is needed."
Buffy nodded. "That will work."
Mrs. Hakenbarth looked at the willful slayer. " Well we know about the sensuality and the 'live life to the fullest' a longer lived slayer tends to get, but really Buffy, are you ready for a multiple relationship with your friend who is also pregnant her by her high school sweetheart and a 253 year old vampire? Aren't you biting out more than you can chew?"
Buffy stopped cold. ONLY in her room was those items discussed, never in the public area of Watcher control. "How do you know?"
Mrs. Hakenbarth bit her lip nervously realizing she had blown their cover. "Buffy we have our ways..."
Buffy remembered that there was no way for them to know unless they had bugged her room! She stood and looked at the council enraged. "You're pretty free with your control of me ordering me around, demanding I give up Angelus and putting pressure on my Watcher. Well, let me tell you something. I don't bow to black mail and I sure as hell don't tolerating spying. The only way you would know about the four of us was if your bugging my bedroom and you better hope to god I don't find anything when I get back there." She limped to the door. "What I do with my sex life is none of your business. My babies are none of your business and my man is none of your business. And if you make it your business I will make you life HELL!" She stormed out dissatisfied the door didn't slam.
****
She was in frustrated tears by the time she reached the bedroom. She entered the room and went to the bed ands flung herself on it in tears. She looked around the room angrily wondering where the violation of her privacy was.
Angelus looked at her alarmed. "Lover, what is wrong?"
"They commented on our four-way relationship at the council meeting. We only ever talked in here and away from Watcher control. How did they know? I bet you I know how they knew. They bugged my room I bet you anything!" She punch a pillow in her frustration.
Angelus looked at her in alarm. "What are you going to do about it?" he knew his place was not to do anything in Watcher control.
"I will tell you what I am going to do about it. I am going to tear the fuck out of this room and find their bug or whatever and put it where the bastard where the sun doesn't shine on them!" She was livid and got out of bed and went to the lamp looking it over.
Angelus looked at Willow and Xander. "I think it best we stay out of her way." They nodded in agreement.
Xander nodded. "Yeah you have point there." He shivered as he watched as she pawed the lamp and then looked over the table. She walked over to a smaller picture and pulled it off the wall and looked it over for microphone.
She systematically went through everything until she got to the closet and the ornate woodwork on the top of the door. When she got closer she saw there was a flash of light off glass. With her fingers she ripped the molding off the door and behind the molding was a camera. It was a surveillance camera, and it was pointed at the center of the room and the bed!
She reached up and in pure venom tore the camera out of its bracket, severing the connection to wherever it went, and threw it on the bed. "They were watching me! The privacy of my own bedroom and they were WATCHING me!" She screamed in frustration.
She ripped the closet apart finding nothing more. She went to the large glass mirror above the dresser. She tried to lift it to look behind it and she couldn't. She realized she had never seen the room on the other side of the wall. She bared her teeth and shattered the mirror finding behind the one way glass three other cameras. Those too she tore apart and threw on the bed. Xander watched her and felt somewhat sorry for who ever was watching and if she found them.
"They weren't listening to us, they WATCHED us like some creepy peep show. Like some twisted porno! They watched me nude, what we did together!" She ripped and tore the cameras and threw it to the bed leaving the shards of glass all over the floor.
Angelus was concerned she was as close to as hysterical as he had ever seen her. "Lover be careful, remember the babies, don't get overly upset." Angelus walked to her carefully. You don't surprise a slayer in this mood.
She spun on him. "I want the control room!" She snarled. Gone was the nice high school junior. Before them stood the enraged Slayer and woe be to whoever got in her way.
She was crying. "They watched me Angel, they watched me! They watched me lying nude… you caring for me… when you..." she stopped and she knocked a lamp to the floor destroying it. "I want that control room!" She grabbed her cane and stalked out of the door.
She went down the hall to a door and tried to open it. It was locked. She ripped the lock off the door and opened the room only to find a small library. She checked all the closets and possible egresses; nothing, so she continued.
Angelus looked at them other two. "I'm going with her." He walked out the room in full game face He called to her. "I'm coming along to make sure they don't hit you." he left her hitting him unsaid. They would be lucky if she didn't kill someone.
By the time Angelus reached her, she had covered most the floor. "It must be on the first floor or in the basement if it isn't in this next room." Angelus just nodded. She ripped open a door and found a man and a woman in the middle of sex. She ignored them as she checked the doors in the room and kept walking.
She went down the sweeping stairs. The head of the council Sir Randolph Prescott tried to slow her down, but he never got past Angelus as she ripped her way though every room and door she could find. She headed for the basement and kicked the door off the hinges and went down the steps carefully, afraid to hurt her injured leg in the process.
It was old dark and musty in the cellar and she hated it on sight, but she still check and entered all doors. Most were old storerooms. One had a starving vampire in it that attacked her. She killed it. Right then she didn't give a shit whose pet project that she ruined.
Angelus looked at the head of the council. "She wants to find that control room for the monitors. I really suggest you let her." Sir Randolph Prescott watched the slayer in a rage and nodded, he wasn't getting in her way.
She came to a room in he far corner out of the way and hidden by boxes. It had a light under the door. She knocked but they wouldn't open it so she kicked it off its hinges with her good leg. Inside she found what looked like a control room as the three people inside were running around trying to find where to run and hide. She saw there were monitors. Several were showing snow, and one that showed Xander and Willow in her bedroom talking. She realized that she had missed one of the cameras.
"You!" She screeched as she swung her cane shattering the last monitor. "YOU are the PIGS who spied on me!" She was shattering the monitors. "I can't believe it! You like invaded my total privacy! Good god, I can't take shit without you having a camera in there I bet!" the equipment was next as the people attempted to avoid her wrath which luckily was focused on the inanimate.
Angelus entered with Sir Randolph Prescott and then stood at the door. He looked at Prescott. "You better tell them not to make a move to stop her, or that is the last thing they will do. Understand? By the way...just for asking...why did you watch us?"
Prescott sighed. "You were the only known case of a Slayer and a vampire in love. We needed to know about it. Was she in thrall to you? What was you relationship like? Was she safe?"
One man stupidly tried to prevent her form destroying one of the monitors and Prescott called him off, letting Buffy vent her spleen on the monitors. Finally she was exhausted, in tears and crying. She turned to Angelus who was standing near the door and snuggled into his arms. "I don't want to stay here a moment longer. I want out of here. I want to get out of here!" she repeated over and over as he held her and soothed her.
Angelus just held her rocking slightly as the watcher's looked on. "Where do you want to go my love? Tell me we will go. Willow and Xander can go with us…"
She cried and curled up against him. "I don't want to stay her anymore. I want to go home. Please Angelus, take me home. I want my mommy." she sighed. Gone was the enraged Slayer. In his arms was the little girl in a strange and dangerous environment that wanted the safety of home.
Angelus stroked her hair gently. "As you wish. Sunnydale it is."
Prescott looked at him in horror. "You can't seriously be considering taking her out of Watcher Central and taking her back to the hell mouth of all places!"
Angelus looked at him. "Are you going to try to stop me? That is what my woman wants and what she wants is what she gets. No questions asked."
Prescott pressed his point. "She'll be in danger. She won't be able to fight as the pregnancy progresses. Big with child, she and the babies will be sitting ducks on the Hellmouth. Your signing their death warrant."
Buffy tensed in his arms. "What about here where they lie to me, and spy on me and film me making love to you? What about here… what do they want my babies for?" she shivered. "I don't care right now i just want to pack and get out."
Angelus thought a moment and then looked at her. "He has a point honey. But I know where we can go, and no one will bother us any of us. Trust me baby. Put your arms around me...I'll carry you back to the room." She did she was told. She was exhausted. She had spent every ounce of energy and was asleep before he reached the stairs. They left Prescott in the remnants of the monitor control room amid the mangled equipment grateful it was machines and not men she battered.

Angelus carried her gently back to the room. He looked at the other two as he entered. "Get everything that is yours and pack it. We are leaving now." Xander nodded as he was getting his stuff packed. They had already packed Buffy and Angelus and were finishing up their own stuff. Xander smiled. "Already almost done."
Angelus smiled Xander sometimes never ceased to amaze him. Sometimes he seems so oblivious and other time he was right on the ball. "Good boy. Let's go NOW...before I kill every Watcher except for Giles in this hellhole."
They nodded and Xander and Willow carried the luggage as he carried the exhausted slayer. They went and loaded one of the cars that had been made available to them. Angelus put Buffy in the car and then he and Xander finished loading it. Willow off to find or leave a message for Giles.
Giles came out to the car, as they were ready to leave. "Buffy wait a minute. What is going on here? What are you doing? Where are you going?" He looked at Angelus
Buffy looked up at him. "Ask your peeping tom friends why I am leaving. I will never set foot in this place again!"
"They had cameras in our room Giles. They watched Buffy and I, and here not long ago Willow and Xander joined the mix. They knew all about stuff they should not have. In essence they pried into our private lives and filmed it. I am taking them and we're going to France, to a house I own there. We will go home from France to sunnydale before school starts." Angelus told him quietly.
"But, but, she is still injured! You can't take her out now!" Giles tired to get them to stay his slayer injured away form the protection of Watcher central made his skin crawl.
Angelus sighed. "I will keep her safe. I can take care of her Giles, and she wants to go. She can't stand the thought of staying here, and that is more dangerous to the babies than anything else right now.
Buffy looked at him. "I am not staying in their peeping tom place a moment longer if I have to sleep in the bus station. Lets go Angelus we are running out of dark." She turned to look out the windshield allowing herself to avoid her Watcher's distress as Angelus drove away.
