“What are they doing up there?” Angel said looking at the ceiling.

“They fight a lot,” Xander told us attempting to reassure the broody vampire.

“Oh no, Xander, I thought we already discussed their version of foreplay,” Anya said matter of factly. “They fight and fight, then they have sex.”

“Eeeewww,” Cordelia gasped. “She’s eight months pregnant.”

“There are ways,” Anya said smiling.

“Honey,” Xander said irritated. “We don’t need to discuss this right now.”

“But Angel’s old,” Anya justified to her husband. “I’m sure he knows about stuff like that.”

“I don’t want to know about stuff like that,” Xander explained.

“This is me,” Angel added with a dramatic pause. “Not wanting to know about stuff like that.”

“Sorry,” Anya said looking to Xander. “I just mentioned it because when we get pregnant, I still want to have a lot of sex, just not the other private, kinky stuff we do.”

“I don’t mean to be rude or anything,” Gunn said trying to change the subject as quickly as possible. “But, what exactly are we up against here?”

Willow took the hint happily and answered, “We’re up against Faith, Tara and Tony Spilotoro.”

“Tony Spilotoro,” Wesley finally said. “The former mob boss of Las Vegas. He’s a rather ruthless fellow. A very distressing opponent.”

“Not exactly,” Anya said grinning evilly. “Spike ripped off Tony’s arm. How distressing can he be without an arm?”

Xander looked at his wife and agreed, “Yeah, Spike did a number on him and he was plastered when he did it. Even Faith was impressed.”

“Maybe I’m not comprehending this fully,” Wesley said taking off his glasses, cleaning them. “If Tony Spilotoro isn’t who we’re supposed to worried about who then? Just Faith?”

“She’s special,” Angel said. “Faith is a childe of True. Since True turned her, saying she’s powerful really doesn’t do her any justice, especially if you add on her slayer’s strength. Not to mention the all-powerful one himself. Who knows what True is up to?”
