Willow looked at her friend and smiled glancing at Giles. He nodded and the gathered on the bus. LA: Angel and Gunn entered the Hyperion. Angel threw his jacket on the couch and joined the gang in the lobby. "How’s Cordy, is she awake, yet?" Fred asked with a concerned look. Angel entered the kitchen and grabbed some blood, frowned and sat down. "She’s still in a coma, nothings changed." The doorbell rang. Fred stood and walked to the door. There were at least 10 people there that she could see, "Hello, can I help you." she asked to the one potential Sara. Willow walked to the front catching Fred's stare. "Willow?" Fred chirped. Angel heard her and froze, Buffy, was she all right, he stood rushing to Fred. "Fred. Hi.” Willow smiled hugging her. Angel searched the crowd for Buffy He seen Giles, Xander, faith and 3 others he did not know. She stood by the bus watching him search for her; she smiled lightly feeling the warmth in her heart that had not been there for a while. "Please everyone, come in." Angel said shaking Giles hand. He could feel her but couldn't see her. They entered and he looked once more, wondering if she needed some time. "Angel." She said softly... his name, he instantly turned rushing to the bus. He grabbed her instantly and hugged her, she hissed in pain and he looked at her noticing the stab wound in her stomach. " Oh god. Buffy.” He growled and grabbed her putting her in his arms, she whimpered as he carried her into the lobby. The group turned staring at them. "He thinks I'm dying or something, Angel .I'm fine." she jumped and turned to them. Gunn’s mouth dropped and Buffy smiled at him “Hi, I'm Buffy." she shook his hand turning to Fred. "Hi Buffy, I'm Fred this is Gunn, nice to meet you." "Hi, you too." she watched as her ex watcher entered the room. "Wes. Good to see you. How are you? “She said and hugged and kissed him on the cheek. ” You look good." He blushed and looked at Angel. "Buffy good to see you, you look magnificent. She smiled shyly. "Thanks, ummm Angel can we talk." He nodded and guided her out to the garden. They sat on the bench both silent she played with her hand staring everywhere but at him. "Buffy?" He lifted her chin gazing at her intensely. "Angel, I need a favour, I need to go away for a while, but I need to be alone, could Dawn, ummm stay here. I just haven't talked to my dad since before my mom passed away." tears formed in her eyes and she pushed them away, he noticed and pulled her to him. "Of course, if you need anything at all." he wiped her tears and placed a kiss on her forehead. "I do, need to go for a while, I don't know how long, guess since I'm kind of retired." He gave a confused look and she sighed. "I figured out how to kill the first, it was to give my powers to the potentials, willow did it, so now there are thousands maybe millions of slayers now, no one needs me anymore. He smiled at her she was so beautiful, so grown up. " shh Buffy, everyone still needs you, I still need you..." He stared at her longing for her. Buffy could not do this she couldn't get lost in his eyes not right now anyways. she pulled her gaze looking to the sky. she knew it hurt him. He stood walking to the fountain. "So that's Buffy, thought she would be different, bigger maybe." fred exclaimed. They laughed looking towards the garden. "Ya and no one said she was hot!" Fred slapped Gunn and the gang laughed. "Ya I guess you haven't seen them together. it is intense, forbidden and all. Xander said grabbing his bag and sitting in the chair. "Where are you going to go?" he asked angrily. She shrugged not looking at him, "I don't know England willow loved it there," she stood stepping closer to him. "Is he going?” he asking growling lightly. She grunted and grabbed his arm, " God Angel, you really don't get it do you?" "Huh. What, Buffy your the one sleeping with my childe? A murderer He growled again walking away from her. "He’s different Angel he's good, and god how this has nothing to do with him." He laughed harshly and turned to her his eye's glowing yellow. " God, I can smell him all over you Buffy.

"He’s dead now, sacrificed himself for me... for us and even if he never did I never was really with him, but you don't even know me so you know what. I really don't care." She growled walking to the door, she turned staring at him, "I never loved him Angel, but I cared for him, he is in my heart, he listened and was my friend when no one else was or when I need someone the most..." "I was gone Buffy, to plea remember..." She stormed at him snarling frantically in his face. "Fuck you on the innocent act Angel, I help the hopeless, always a saint.” He looked at her sadly, moving closer but not too close. "What is it I did Buffy, Huh, I tried to keep you safe." she laughed pacing in front of him. " Let me see, Darla, sleeping with Darla trying to loose your soul." . " When I came back I was different and the Angel I know would have pulled me into his arms and comforted me, no matter how, weird or different it felt, he still would of loved me." He swallowed hard.

"About what Angel, we only fights anyways, aren’t you sick of fighting." He snarled kissing her fiercely, "I won't let it go Buffy, and I’m kind of immortal."

I, Okay if you like." she pulled away and grabbed her bag, she didn't want to argue with him she said her goodbyes leaving the hotel Angel and Buffy headed out to the airport not really saying anything, Buffy could feel Angel's intense stare but she look towards the street not meeting his wanting gaze. They pulled up to the airport and Angel got out grabbing her bags and letting her out, it would be about another half an hour before she needed to leave. Angel looked at the cafeteria it was pretty bare. " Coffee." He asked looking at her. She nodded and they went into the cafeteria and Angel grabbed two coffee's. They still sat silent , Angel could hear Buffy's heart beat rapidly. Buffy sipped her coffee and brushed a hair from her face. " Thank you again for Dawn, I just didn't know where else to go." she said crossing her legs. " Your welcome " Angel said looking at her sadly." I 'll miss you." He said pulling his seat closer. Buffy smiled sadly and drank the rest of her coffee, she noticed Angel reaching out his hand but she didn't grab it she just stared at it. ' How is Cordy, is she okay." buffy asked trying to keep the temptation of jumping him right there. " She's still unconscious , and the doctor said he still doesn't know why she hasn't woke up." He said " I'm sure she'll be fine she's strong like us, she's been through enough, maybe Xander can go see her." she said cheerfully and stood pouring another coffee. " She'll be fine, Xander doesn't need to come." Angel said harshly. Buffy noticed his tone and she watched him closely he looked so much lighter than she remembered more happy, not dark and mysterious. He looked at her and she turned her gaze away babying her coffee. He reached for again and she pulled away. " I need to go to the washroom, I'll be right back." she said and rushed towards the bathroom and closed the door, tears flooded her eye's, she wanted so badly to be with him to touch him, kiss him... She needed him as much as she needed water but she had to go had to get away from him from everything, she wasn't the slayer anymore and well he didn't want her anymore. She cleaned herself up and walked back to the table Angel was gone and she sighed. He always did do that, she sipped her coffee and stood, grabbing her bags and heading into the lobby, she found a seat close, and pulled out her phone, making sure it was on just in case Dawn needed her or Willow maybe even Giles. She sighed they didn't need her ,Tears formed her eyes again and she brushed them away, she looked up towards the clock instantly noticing Angel. He was walking towards her with a big huge bouquet of flowers. " I thought you had left." Buffy said and Angel smiled slightly and handed her the flowers he grabbed her pulling her into a hug. " I'll miss you Buffy, please call me, and please... He stopped and looked at her. " Don't forget about me." Angel said tears falling from his eyes. Buffy too cried and she nuzzled her self closer to him holding him tight. Plane 151 is leaving. The announcer said. Buffy looked at him" she kissed him softly on the lips and grabbed her bags." I'll never forget...And she was gone. Angel watched her go tears fell from his eyes and he didn't care, he headed back to his friends. He smiled as he entered everyone was laughing and playing. He hoped Buffy would decide to come back. 2 years Later Angel smiled at everyone it was christmas eve and everyone was there, Willow, Giles, Oz, Fred, Gunn Lorne and even Xander, Cordy was even there she had woken up about six months ago and Xander and her had got back together even Willow and Oz were trying again. Oh and Wes and Fred had got married and even had a baby girl they named her cherished.. He smiled at Dawn she was playing with cherished outside in the garden, she had grown up a lot she was 20 now and training to be a watcher like Giles. Fred smiled at Angel and walked closer handing him a Egg nog. " Hi" She said sitting beside him. " Hi, Fred." He smiled and grabbed they egg nog sipping it. " She'll be here, I know she will." fred said patting his shoulder and getting up heading to her daughter. Buffy, his Buffy, he moaned at the thought of her, it had been two years since she left they had talked every sunday and written every other week , she was doing great, she had built a slayer training in england and in italy giving Faith the Italy one and Giles the England one, she had traveled all over the world. He didn't know if she was with anyone, since they never spoke of that just normal talk which in his case was better than anything, it was nice to be able to talk to her like they used to, she made him want to go on, made him want to live, since letting Conner go 2 years ago was devastating, he had told her about it and she was understanding , he thought she would of killed him but she didn't, he looked at the clock it was 11:06 pm.. WEs and Fred sat closer to the fireplace and gathered everyone around the tree, Angel smiled but stayed to the back. Buffy smiled at the city it was the same as she remembered, it was Christmas eve and no snow in sight she looked to the sky and to her hand, she held a cloth wrapped over something she placed it in her pocket and knocked on the door. KNOCK KNOCK.... Willow looked to Angel then to the door." I'll get it." she said. she headed to the door and opened it smiling widely at the women, " Buffy Hi, you look amazing." Willow said hugging her friend. " Will Hi, you too, she looked down at her friend and noticed a bigger belly. " Will, your.... oh my god, congratulations." she said screaming loudly. Angel jumped noticing her voice he stared towards te door, Willow moved over and Buffy stepped in. Angels heart sank as he walked closer to her she was so much more beautiful then before, she had looked like she slept for years her hair was short only to her shoulders and she had dyed it brown with red streaks, very sexy he thought. Dawn pushed passed him jumping on Buffy and squeezing her tight. " Buffy, oh buffy, Merry christmas." Dawn said kissing her." Dawn, Hi good to see you, merry christmas too you too." Buffy said Hi and hugged everyone and picked up the baby girl. " Wes she's beautiful." Buffy said teary eyed. I'm so happy for you." She said hugging her former watcher. " thank you Buffy." Wes said hugging her back. She turned to Angel mesmerizing his features, he was more skinner but more built, his facial features were the same but something seemed different but she didn't know what. " Hey Guys it's snowing." Xander yelled. Buffy and Angel turned and smiled to each other. " Can we." They both said together. They laughed. " Could we go outside, talk." Buffy asked Angel." Yes ." He said grabbing his jacket and following her outside, the gang watched smiling brightly at each other. " You look good." She said sitting on the bench staring at the falling snow. He smiled and sat beside her. " You too, love the hair,"He said. She looked at him smiling slightly. " you like? really." He nodded and brushed his head through his hair. " definitely, I really like." he said and growled possessively. She laughed and grabbed his hand entwining their fingers together. They sat in silence for a while enjoying the comfort and the togetherness, she smiled and looked at him she glanced at her watchit was 11: 57 pm. He looked at her and she reached in her pocket pulling out the present and placing it in his hands. " There is two please open the one in the cloth first." she said , he obeyed and opened it. Angel laughed at it and looked to her and back to the cookie, she nodded and smiled letting him know her answer than handed him the wrapped one. It was an envelope. she grabbed his arm stopping him for a moment, reaching over she placed a hand on his check, tracing his features. " I need to know if this is what you want Angel, If I'm truly what you want?" He looked at her a moment confused then reached for her finding her scar and tracing it. Buffy quivered at his touch and she looked at him sadly, he noticed and brought him self closer pulling her and kissing her neck his scar. " Your my everything." He growled. he pulled himself back up looking deeply into her green eyes. " Forever. Angel, I know that we have had some rough times, do I ever and I know that more than anything the curse is over us , but we've changed both of us and I'm definitely not a teenager any more.. I more than anything want you in every possible way but I can't, but, I want to even if it just means kissing and well other stuff." She smiled as she watched him raise his eyebrow at her suggestion. She moved closer almost on top of him. " I don't need sex, I need you and want you...... my soul needs you. I can't have you getting scared or whatever and leaving again, I can't go through with that again Angel I just can't I will die." she said intensely staring at him. He moaned and brought her to his lips and kissed her softly, making every inch of her body and his tremble. " I won't leave Buffy, I know now more than ever, I can't live with out you." He buried his face into her hair and she moaned hugging him tighter. He looked up and she smiled letting hi up. she handed the envelope " Please open." Angel opened it and it was a card. he looked at her and read it. It said " Merry Christmas Angel, love always Buffy." There was a deed inside and he looked at her confused. " I decided to build a slayers building here and I want you to be my partner, I need you to sign." Angel looked in side of the deed and it was a picture, of him and Buffy when they had met when she had came back at the cabin on the outskirts of la/Sunny dale. He looked at her and she smiled." I decided to build it there, That's my home now." He looked at her shocked and she smiled again. " i needed somewhere to go a while ago, when you guys had went to garvash dimension, I had come to see you , but in a way I'm glad I had not." He frowned at her and she laughed. " It wasn't time. Do you want to?" she asked frightened of his answer. He got up grabbing her with him and kissing her hard. " God, yes Buffy." She kissed back eagerly and pulled them towards the door, she stopped and stared at him, it started to snow lots now and they smiled. " Merry Christmas Angel. " "Merry Christmas Buffy." The END
