Part 1

Angel held Cordelia during the ride back to L.A. She fell asleep soon after they cleared the city limits of Sunnydale. Angel thought about the things Buffy had told him and he had to admit she was right he was in love with Cordelia he smiled slightly with that thought.

Right after getting on the 405 Cordelia stirred slightly, "Angel take me home with you I don't want to be alone right now."

Angel nodded, "Sure sweetheart I was sort of planning that myself now go back to sleep."

As Wesley drove his mind filled with thoughts of what had gone on this night. He'd found it hard to believe at first. He sighed there was so many things for Cordelia to deal with now. He hoped she'd be able to cope. He shook his head she would at least have Angel to help her and well himself also.

Wesley pulled up in front of the old hotel he turned to Angel, "Do you need me for anything?"

Angel frowned slightly, "Go over to her place and pack a few things and also get some milk, eggs, bread and orange juice and anything else you might think she'll eat."

Wesley smiled, "I'll keep the car then it'll be easier."

Angel gently carried the sleeping Cordelia into the hotel and up to his rooms. He was worried she was sleeping so deeply. He removed her shoes and jacket before tucking her in. He carefully brushed his fingers along her cheek smiling softly.

"You'll be fine....you've got to be I need you."

Angel kicked off his shoes and tossed his coat across a chair. He laid down next to Cordelia he reached out and touched her letting her know he was there if she needed him.

Part 2

Angel watched Cordelia as she slept. She'd been asleep for close to ten hours and he was getting worried.

Angel glanced over at Wesley as he entered the bedroom, "Still asleep hasn't moved much I'm worried."

Wesley nodded, "Yes so am I that's why I called Giles he informed me that sleeping like this is fairly normal after a ritual like last night. He also said that they took care of Babette's bones gave her a proper burial."

Angel sighed, "Good.....I just wish she would wake up."

Wesley sat down in the chair near the bed, "Angel get some rest just lay down next to her I'll keep an eye on the both of you."

Angel stared at Wesley before stretching out on the bed next to Cordelia he closed his eyes and willed himself to relax.

Angel instantly opened his eyes when he heard Cordelia groan, "Hey are you awake finally?"

Cordelia sat up and looked around, "What's going on where am I....who are you....my head is so fuzzy."

Angel glanced over at Wesley with a frown on his face, "Amnesia or something else?"

Wesley stood and went over to the bed, "Don't know....Cordelia are you sure that you don't recognize us?"

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Wait...yeah....Angel yes Angel."

Cordelia turned to Angel, "That's you I think I sort of remember you....you make me feel safe."

Angel gave her a slight smile, "Right....take it easy don't force yourself too much let your memories come at their own pace."

She smiled and nodded, "Ummm I need to...use the restroom and I am hungry I think eating might help."

Angel quickly stood up, helping her get out of bed, "Your things are right here and the bathroom is there....I'll go fix you something to eat."

Smiling at Angel she headed for the bathroom, "Thanks...I'll take a quick shower also."

Both men watched her disappear into the bathroom and shut the door.

Wesley turned to Angel, "I'll go give Giles a call.....look Angel she'll be fine....she did remember you and that's good."

Angel walked over to his kitchenette, "Yes she did know me...she will be ok...might just need our help tho."

Wesley sighed, "Yes..well I'll go make that call."

Angel shook his head in agreement as he opened the fridge and began taking things out to fix Cordelia something to eat. After Wesley left the room Angel leaned against the counter and took several deep breaths trying to control his emotions.

Part 3

Cordelia frowned when she noticed the mirror was covered in the bathroom. Some little nagging memory told her tho not to worry. She sighed and pushed aside the towel that covered the mirror and stared at herself. Yes she was Cordelia Chase. Turning from her image she turned on the water in the shower and quickly undressed. Stepping into the very warm water she sighed it felt so very good. She showered scrubbing at her skin at times roughly making it red she felt dirty for some reason. She shook her head and turned off the water and got out of the shower.

Dressing quickly in a pair of sweats and a over-sized t-shirt she combed out her hair. Looking in the mirror again she sighed and left the bathroom. She smiled when she saw Angel. He was setting a plate of food on the small dinning table in his room she smiled at him when he glanced her way.

"Smells good I am starved...ah look I know you're Angel and that was Wesley who was in here before....things are starting to be a little less fuzzy."

Angel smiled, "You're right that was Wesley just try and not push yourself too much it'll all come back."

Cordelia nodded and sat down, "Oh egg and cheese omelet I love the way you make them....hey that was a memory coming back."

Angel chuckled as he watched her dig into the food he'd fixed her, "Yes and a good one."

Cordelia shook her head in agreement as she chewed her food. Wesley came to the door and looked in, "Angel a word with you."

Angel glanced at Cordelia, "I'll be right back...if you want anything yell."

Angel stepped into the hallway and went over to Wesley, "She remembers you and that she likes my omelets...so speak to Giles?"

Wesley nodded, "Yes.... he says this should be temporary...but there might be some things she won't ever remember."

Angel folded his arms, "We will help her the best way we can and I don't want to push her also she does not go on any missions to fight evil she stays here or at her place."

Wesley frowned, "Yes that would be best...I just hope when she gets a vision she'll be able to handle it."

Angel turned and looked at the door of his rooms, "That first vision will be scary for her is she doesn't remember getting them before I don't want to leave her alone."

Wesley sighed, "No she should not be alone...go back in there I'll keep an eye on things downstairs."

Angel smiled slightly, "Thanks if you need anything let me know."

Angel turned and went back into his rooms and watched Cordelia as she finished off her food. She turned to him and smiled softly. He gave her a smile back.

Part 4

For several days Angel kept watch on Cordelia. She was getting more of her memories back but he still worried about her. Wesley and Gunn hung around helping Cordelia giving her encouragement whenever a memory came back.

Angel smiled when he thought about when she remembered he was a vampire.....

It was the day after they got back Angel was in his office going through some books when Cordelia rushed in, "I remember now Angel....you're a vampire but a good one with a soul....I remember calling you a care bear with fangs when Willow and Buffy first told me you were one."

She was almost jumping for joy as she spoke to him. Angel stood and went over to her with a smile on his handsome face, "Yes...huh a care bear with fangs...oh at least you remembered that I am a vampire."

Cordelia smiled, "Yeah...it's good you aren't telling me things it's good that I remember on my own."

Angel shook his head in agreement, "And you are doing good soon you'll be your old self."

Cordelia frowned, "Yeah...I guess...so do you need help with anything...I think that if I do normal things that it'll help...I feel useless."

Angel looked around, "Umm these folders need to be filed and the plants need to be watered."

Cordelia ginned and grabbed the files, "I'll get these filed right away Angel."

Angel sighed as he thought of that day. He'd nearly fainted later when he opened the files to get something and everything was neat and in the correct order..not Cordelia's usual system..it actually saddened him.

Angel watched as she came into the room her eyes filled with tears, "Cordelia what's wrong?"

Cordelia went over and sat down on Angel's lap and curled up against his broad chest, "I....I...{sob} remember....Doyle and it hurts like when we first lost him."

Angel wrapped his arms around her tears in his own eyes as he remembered the first friend he'd made in L.A. They sat there both mourning the loss of their old friend giving each other comfort.

Part 5

Angel watched as Cordelia sat and stared at the tv he'd set up for her in his room. She hadn't wanted to be in her apartment alone. She went there to get a few things and talk with Dennis which was another of the things she remembered right off. Angel sighed she was so quite not nearly as bubbly as before he wondered if that had been Babbett or if Cordelia was just tired or depressed it had him worried.

Cordelia looked up at Angel and smiled, "Why the frown you worried about something?"

Angel went over to her he knelt down next to her chair, "Just thinking is all...umm just wondering how you're holding up is all you have been so quiet."

Cordelia sighed, "It seems that what I am remembering the most is the bad times in my life...have I really been that unhappy?"

Angel shook his head, "No you have had many happy days....you may be remembering the bad ones because they were the more emotional memories."

Cordelia stared at Angel, "Hold me...I need to be held."

Angel stood gathering her in his arms he carried her over to the bed and laid her gently on the bed before laying next to her. Cordelia curled up against him this was the only way she felt safe of late. Angel held her tenderly he knew she needed him at this point in her recovery.

Angel held Cordelia as she slowly drifted off to sleep another thing she did a lot was sleep. Angel was relaxed sort of sleeping when he felt Cordelia tense up in his arms and cry out he sat up she was thrashing around crying out in her sleep. Cordelia's eyes flew open and looked around wildly seeing Angel she calmed down.

Angel reached over and gently stroked her cheek, "Hey bad dream?"

Cordelia shook her head, "No a vision....a group of children at a museum one of new exhibits it's evil it feeds off the innocent.."

Angel stood up, "Did you recognize the museum?"

Cordelia frowned, "Wait it was the Wax Museum next to Knott's Berry Farm...a display from a horror movie."

Angel frowned, "Cordelia do you want to come with us?"

Cordelia nodded, "Yeah I'll be able to point out the exhibit."

Angel quickly turned and left his room with her right behind luckily Wesley and Gunn were just coming back from some errand, "Guys she had a vision Gunn you drive."

Gunn nodded, "Sure so where to?"

Cordelia sighed, "Knott's Berry Farm the Wax Museum next door."

Gunn shook his head, "Well we better get going then."

All four left the hotel and piled into Angel's car with him and Cordelia in the back seat Angel under a blanket with his head on her lap. Wesley questioned Cordelia about the vision all she could say was a exhibit of a horror move.

Part 6

Angel, Wesley, Gunn and Cordelia stood outside the Wax Museum. The sun had just set and the demon possessed statue had been defeated. Angel stared at the bright lights of the amusement park next door he smiled and turned to his friends.

"I can't belive I am saying this but want to....um go to Knott's?"

Wesley and Gunn stared at Angel, Cordelia smiled "Oh that would be so much fun I haven't been to an amusement park in ages."

Angel grinned, "Good let's go might be fun....I've never been on a roller coaster though."

Gunn grinned, "Oh man this is gonna be great...um dude lose the coat."

Angel looked down and shrugged, "I'll put it in the trunk of the car."

Soon the group was walking through the park looking everything over. Cordelia kept grabbing Angel's hand and pointing out things. Angel found it all overwhelming but he was having fun and he knew it was because Cordelia was so happy.

Cordelia stopped in front of the roller coaster Ghost Rider and grinned, "This is it Angel we are going on this one first."

Angel stared at the huge monstrosity of wood before him and gulped, "Ahh....maybe....this wasn't such a good idea after all."

Cordelia smiled, "Oh no mister you are not backing out you promised...besides you scared?"

Gunn and Wesley both smothered laughs, Angel glared at them, "Fine but we all go."

After a little standing in line with Angel trying not to look at the roller coaster they were strapped in and it took off. Up down, twisting all around with Cordelia screaming and laughing the whole time. Gunn had a huge grin plastered on his face and Wesley was several shades of red then green then white. Angel stared straight ahead letting a smile escape now and then.

After the ride Wesley staggered over to a bench and sat down, "That was interesting to say the least."

Cordelia was glowing with joy, "Angel thank you so much come on lets see what else we can do."

Angel turned to Gunn, "Keep an eye on Wesley while I escort this wonderful creature through the park."

Gunn grinned, "Sure no problem I don't think we'll be getting on any more rides though."

Angel and Cordelia roamed the park she managed to coax him on some more rides. Angel even won her three plush animals at the Fiesta Amusements.

Near closing time Angel and Cordelia made their way to the park's entrance they found Wesley sitting there snacking on a corn dog several bags of goods at his feet. Angel grinned as he spotted his friend.

"So Wes have fun and where's Gunn?"

Wesley swallowed the bite of food and took a sip of his drink, "Oh yes I found all kinds of things to do that did not mean scaring the daylight out of me. Gunn ran into some friends of his and took off with them I didn't mind I could tell he was not having fun with me."

Angel smiled, "Good ready to go home?"

Wesley stood up and gathered his bags. He glanced at Angel and smiled Angel was clutching a large Snoopy, A brown bear and a bright yellow bird. Cordelia was carrying several small bags and was the happiest he'd seen her in some time. The three of them left the park and piled into Angel's car Angel drove home feeling relaxed for the first time in weeks.

Part 7

A week after their amusement park adventure Cordelia entered Angel's rooms smiling, "Angel come see what has happened it's so beautiful and it's all because of me."

Angel let Cordelia lead him downstairs to the courtyard. He stood in the shadows of the overhang and gazed with wonder at all the white roses blooming before him. Cordelia was smiling and almost romping among the rose bushes and other flowering plants.

"Cordelia this is amazing....how?"

Cordelia went over to Angel and sat down on the bench he joined her, "Well during the day when you've been asleep I got bored one day and cleaned out all the dead plants and found all these rose bushes. I went to a gardening store and got things like rose food and worked on them. Now look at them they are so beautiful and the other flowers I planted them and they turned out wonderful also."

Angel smiled at her, "They are beautiful...I seem to recall seeing roses here before but never really paid them much attention."

Cordelia smiled, "You've been so good to me the last few weeks...I love you for it and well you are the most important person in my life I wanted to do something for you."

Angel took her hand in his, "Thank you...I love you too...and also you mean more to me than anyone else."

Cordelia frowned slightly, "I'm going to be ok...I think I have all of Cordelia's memories back it's Babbettes that are gone....there are blanks and I figured it must be from when she was in charge....in a way it's good I don't remember what she did with my body."

Angel nodded, "I agree you're better off not knowing what she did and I am not just speaking of her and Angelus."

Cordelia smiled at him, "Yeah Angelus...does it bother you....I mean knowing he sort of has had me and you can't?"

Angel looked over at the roses, "No it don't....I think it did when I first found out but it was more of a pissed off feeling at Babbette."

Cordelia sighed, "I've been here for six weeks guess you are getting tired of me and all my stuff laying around cluttering up your room."

Angel chuckled, "Actually no you are not a bother it's been nice having you here and in my bed even if it's just sleeping and a little cuddling."

Cordelia laughed, "Cuddling that is not a word I thought I'd ever hear you use...but yeah it has been nice."

Angel smiled, "I don't want you to go...I don't think I could stand being alone...surprised you haven't I?"

Cordelia stared at him, "Yeah...you are like the king of wanting to be alone."

Angel shook his head, "I think being alone has been one of my problems...you have shown me how good it can be to have someone there to talk to or just to sit with."

Cordelia smiled and Angel, "I know it can get lonely with no one there to at least glance at now and then."

Angel smiled at her and nodded his head in agreement, "We'll need to work something out so you can stay here."

Cordelia sighed, "Yeah my main worry is Dennis he won't like it if I move I can tell when I go over to my place he isn't happy."

Angel nodded, "Yes I know he wasn't too friendly the other night when I went by and Wes said he threw a book at him when he went there."

Cordelia frowned and looked out over the roses she held Angel's hand and wondered what was to happen next. Angel watched the play of emotions on her face knowing she was still trying to work things out in her mind.

Part 8

Angel dreamed of Cordelia she had a white and gold light flowing around her, she was so beautiful and innocent looking. She held her hand out to him with a smile on her face he felt no fear so he took her hand and let her lead him.

Angel: "Where are we going?"

Cordelia: "It's a surprise so shh and follow me."

A room appeared full of white roses a large bed stood in the center. Cordelia turned to Angel and smiled she shrugged and the loose shift she wore fell to her feet she stood before him nude and beautiful.

Angel: "Cordelia what is happening?"

Cordelia smiled, "Come make love to me."

Angel shook his head, "We can't...my soul."

Cordelia walked over to him, "It's ok...your soul is safe with me...my soul anchors yours...I am your seer and you are my warrior."

Angel took her into his arms and began kissing her a fire of passion surged all through his body.

.............

Cordelia dreamed of Angel he stood tall and handsome dressed all in black a slight frown on his handsome face. He was looking off into the distance at a faint light a look of longing crossed his face.

Cordelia: "Angel what makes you so sad?"

Angel: "My future I see the sun but it still burns me?"

Cordelia nodded, "Yes but someday it will be safe for you to walk in the sun and I will be at your side."

Angel sighed, "Are you sure...what about your dreams?"

Cordelia smiled, "You are my dreams you are all I want."

Angel shook his head, "But I cannot give love you the way I want to with passion."

Cordelia took his hands in hers, "But you can I am your seer to your warrior we keep each other safe my soul protects yours it anchors it we are two yet one in soul."

Angel smiled slightly, "Are you sure?"

Cordelia smiled, "Yes the powers have told me this is true."

Angel pulled Cordelia into his arms and began kissing her passionately.

........

Angel awoke from his dream and looked around Cordelia was staying at her place tonight he now wished she was there beside him.

Cordelia awoke from her dream and smiled she wanted to be at Angel's side where she knew she belonged.

Part 9

Angel hummed slightly as he cooked the dinner he had planned for Cordelia. He loved fixing her food. Tonight cornish game hen stuffed with wild rice, scalloped potatoes and a salad. He smiled they'd both talked about their dreams and what it meant tonight they were planning on a romantic dinner for just the two of them.

Angel looked up when Cordelia entered the room he stopped and stared she was dressed in a red silk floor length shift that hugged her body. It barely hung on her body by two thin straps she twirled slowly revealing the side slits that went all the way up her thighs.

Cordelia smiled, "Hmm smells good what have you fixed for dinner."

Angel smiled, "Wait and see it's almost done now have a seat."

Angel pulled out a chair from the table. Cordelia smiled as she sat down the table was gorgeous with two tall white candles lit two plates of pure white with small red roses scattered on the rim. Red napkins on a white table cloth. A small vase with some of her white roses was centered on the table. There was soft music playing she closed her eyes and took a deep breath she was nervous and excited all at once.

Angel gently squeezed her shoulders, "Be right back going to get your salad."

Cordelia smiled, "Sounds good."

................

Dinner was finished Angel had enjoyed watching Cordelia eating the meal he'd prepared for her. He'd taken a few small bites so she wouldn't feel awkward with him just sitting there. Cordelia sipped the wine and sighed she was content the food had been excellent.

Cordelia looked over at Angel, "Thank you that was perfect."

Angel smiled at her, "Thanks I enjoy cooking and now I have someone to cook for."

Cordelia laughed slightly, "Yeah just make sure I don't get fat."

Angel stood, "I wouldn't mind if you did I love you very much inside and out....umm care to dance?"

Cordelia smiled and stood up the music was soft and slow. She sighed as Angel pulled her into his arms. They swayed slowly together to the music her head on his shoulder eyes closed she let him guide her through the dance. Angel held her close feeling the softness of the silk dress she wore and the warmth from her body.

The music stopped Cordelia looked up into Angel's eyes and smiled. He smiled back before slightly bending his head and capturing her mouth with his. They kissed slowly and passionately both enjoying the taste and feel of each others mouths.

Angel stepped back and smiled at her, "Are ready for this?"

Cordelia smiled, "Yes."

Angel turned and led Cordelia into his bedroom he took her into his arms and kissed her gently, she moaned as feelings of pleasure coursed through her body.

Part 10

Angel reached up and gently pulled the thin straps of Cordelia's shift off her shoulders letting them flow down her arms. The shift fell softly to the floor she stood there before him completely naked. Angel growled softly she was beautiful and tonight he was going to make her his....he was going to claim what Angelus had already...he was going to erase Angelus' claim on her body and make her his totally forever.

Pulling Cordelia against him he captured her mouth with his plunging his tongue between her lips. Their tongues played with each other duelling for dominance Angel groaned as she sucked hard on his tongue. Angel swept her up in his arms and carried her over to the bed he laid her down gently before stepping back and began undressing.

Angel soon stood before her naked his lust evident as he hard cock jutted from his body. With lust filled eyes he knelt down on the bed he pulled Cordelia into his arms crushing her full breasts to his chest the feel of her warm skin against his coolness drove him crazy with need. Cordelia whimpered sightly she was so turned on by the way Angel was acting so primal this was a side of him she never knew existed.

Angel rained kisses down Cordelia's neck licking the pulse point growling slightly as he sensed the blood that flowed there. Cordelia groaned and leaned back on her arms, legs spread Angel between them his arms wrapped around her waist. He lowered his head he took one firm nipple in his mouth he sucked til it stood out hard. He smiled as he moved over to the other nipple sucking it to a hard pebble. Cordelia moaned as he nuzzled and sucked on her breasts he was sending such pleasurable sensations all through her body.

Angel continued his descent down her body kissing, tasting, her skin savoring her scent and taste. He reached the juncture between her legs he growled as he dipped his head between her legs and found her clit he took it in his mouth and sucked gently. Cordelia gasped and arched her back as she felt such passion like she'd never felt before flow through her and take over.

Angel licked and sucked on her clit he dipped his head lower and lapped at the juices that was flowing from her. He was pleased knowing he was the reason she was so wet and ready for him. Angel looked up at her his eyes showing flickers of yellow in the brown orbs he growled as he moved back up her body he took her into his arms and held her close briefly he kissed her deeply. Cordelia moaned as she tasted herself on his lips she raked her nails down his back lust coursed through the two of them.

Angel positioned his cock at her slit staring into her eyes he thrust into her. She whimpered as he filled her she had never felt so complete...so full...so desired. Angel thrust gently into her at first loving the way she felt so hot and moist, like molten silk. As the passion grew he picked up his pace he wanted to hold back he was afraid of hurting her.

Cordelia moaned and thrust back she wanted more she wanted harder she grabbed his ass and ground herself into him. Angel went crazy with lust and pounded into her she met him thrust for thrust. Reaching down between them Angel massaged her clit pinching slightly she screamed out as her climax hit her as waves of sheer pleasure washed through her body.

Angel need his own release he growled as he could feel the tightening of his balls. Cordelia bared her neck he stared at her briefly before biting into the soft flesh. He roared as the blood flowed into his mouth setting off his own climax, he lapped at the small weeping wound on her neck as he came down from his own natural high.

Angel carefully pulled away from Cordelia's body he smiled as he took her into his arms a gentle purr vibrating through his body. Cordelia nuzzled against him satisfied she listened to the purr and smiled knowing he was satisfied.

Part 11

Angel watched Cordelia as she slept he smiled softly when he had left Buffy he'd had no intention of getting involved with anyone. Now here he was totally in love with Cordelia Chase and he could not imagine life without her.

Cordelia stirred and opened her eyes she smiled, "Hey you're awake and still here."

Angel smiled and brushed a stray hair from her forehead, "Yes...no place I'd rather be than here with the woman I love."

Cordelia grinned, "Angel.....I love you too...it feels so right."

Angel leaned over and gently kissed her, "Umm yes it does."

Cordelia sighed, "Angel....I'm going to be ok...really I am over the whole being possessed thingy and most of my memories are back and I am ready to get on with my life...as long as you're part of it."

Angel smiled, "Good to hear that.....cause I plan on being a big part of your life. Wesley has figured out a way to bring Dennis here that is if the two of you wish to move."

Cordelia laughed, "Well I know I want to move and I have a feeling so will Dennis."

Angel smiled, "Good now get some more sleep we have a busy day ahead of us."

Cordelia, "Moving me will take more than one day....more like a week."

Angel laughed, That's not what I have planned...how would you like to fly on a private jet to Las Vegas and get married?"

Cordelia actually squealed, "Private jet....Vegas.....MARRIED?....Oh Angel I love you so much.....YES!!!!!"

Angel chuckled, "Yes David Nabbit's own plane, us, Wesley and Gunn tomorrow you go shopping and in the evening we fly to Vegas."

Cordelia laid back with a huge smiled on her face she was happier than she'd ever been.

Epilog

Angel and Cordelia stood in front of the preacher provided by The Little Chapel of the West. Angel was nervous but happy he was dressed in a black suit and white shirt with a deep blue and black tie. Cordelia was shaking she couldn't believe she was getting married to Angel. She was wearing a simple pale ivory satin and silk dress that fell just to her knees.

Wesley was bestman he kept sighing he knew that this was a good thing he just hoped it didn't upset the balance between everyone. Anne Steele had come along to be Cordelia's bridesmaid and Gunn's date. Gunn stood just behind Wesley smiling he was happy for his two friends.

The preacher pronounced Angel and Cordelia husband and wife. Angel leaned over and gently kissed Cordelia he looked into her eyes afterward both of them had tears forming.

"Oh Angel I love you so much."

Angel nodded, "I love you too Cordelia."

The newlyweds turned to their friends with huge smiles on their faces. Wesley patted Angel on the back and gave Cordelia a quick hug. Gunn shook Angel's hand then also gave Cordelia a hug. Anne smiled at them she was happy to see two people so much in love.
