Chapter 7: Oh My God are You Serious?! Really?

Buffy woke up feeling a little too dizzy. As her mind cleared a little she realized she was being shaken. “Wha? Please stop shaking me.” she pleaded. Buffy opened her eyes to be greeted with Deanna’s worried gaze.

“You okay mommy?” her little girl asked.

“Yeah, yeah I’m fine, sweetie.” She pulled herself up from the bathroom floor, and tried to hide her excitement and act normal as not to scared her daughter anymore.

“You seem to be doing that a lot lately, luv. You sure you’re okay?” Spike asked as he helped her off the ground.

“I’m fine…better than fine! I’m ecstatic!” Buffy flung her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately. She barely heard Deanna’s ‘eeww’ before she ran off to her room. When they pulled away from each other, Buffy buried her head in his chest. “It worked, it worked, it worked.” She whispered over and over again, quiet even that her husband didn’t hear her.

Buffy, Deanna and Spike all headed out to the park later that morning so that Deanna could play with the other kids on the playground. The three of them sat underneath a large willow tree, and ate some lunch that they packed along.

“Mommy…can I go play now?” Dee asked with beautiful shining eyes.

“Of course…have fun, sweetie. Be careful.” She tapped her on the butt as she ran towards the monkey bars.

“God is she a doll or what?” Spike commented. “I’ll never be able to get enough of her…she looks so much like you.” He turned to her and grinned placing sweet kisses all over her face.

The blonde couple sat and chatted as they watched their daughter play around in the sand with a dark-haired boy. They watched with confused faces, as the boy pulled her over to a spot under another tree, two yards away where apparently his parents were sitting. They smiled. Introductions. Buffy started packing the basket they had brought and didn’t notice the two children dragging the father over to their spot.

“Honey…I think someone wants us to meet someone else.” Spike commented, as Deanna jumped into his arms.

Buffy turned around and caught the gaze of someone she never thought she’d see again. “Hi, I’m Liam…but everyone calls me Angel.” The man smiled, and shook the hand of Deanna’s father, and then the very shocked mother. “This is my son, Connor…my wife Gwen, she’s sitting right over there.” Buffy glanced to where he was pointing and caught her waving at them. The blonde politely waved back. So this is Gwen…huh. She’s pretty. At least he looks happy.

“It’s nice to meet you, Angel. I’m Spike and this is my wife Buffy…I see you’ve already met Deanna.” Spike noticed Buffy’s shocked face, and decided to call her on it later.

“Well, the reason I came over here was the kids seemed to be getting along here quite well, I thought maybe we could set up a play date once or twice a week. We’re new in town, so Connor doesn’t have many friends.” Angel suggested, placing his hands gently on his son’s shoulders.

Buffy decided it was best for her to say something so he didn’t think she was mute or something. “That would be great! I know Deanna could always use and extra friend…and so could we.” She added, looking at Spike who nodded his head enthusiastically.

“Yeah…the house is always filled with women, I could use some male bonding time. Kick back…have a few brews, watch the game!” Spike remarked with excitement.

Angel laughed. “You better be talkin’ football, my friend and not the American kind.”

Buffy sighed. “Oh no! Now you’ve gone and done it. I think you just stole his heart.” The blonde joked about her husband.

“What team?” Spike interrogated.

“Manchester! All the way.” Angel said with no hesitation.

Buffy frowned. He was never into any of these things when we were together. Oh well…different times, different people.

Spike jumped up and clapped the brunette man on the shoulder. “This mate…looks like the beginning of a blossoming friendship.”

* * * * *

A couple of weeks later, Buffy and Spike were happier than ever, and Deanna seemed to be growing somewhat of a crush on Connor, which both set of parents thought was too sweet. The Flanery’s had dinner at the Pratt house at least once a week so the grown ups could talk. Everything was going great and she was happy that she could still be in the presents of Angel without having to leave Spike to do so. Even though he hurt her in the other life, he was a completely different man now and still missed this side of him. The carefree side like he was in the beginning. After they got married, his work changed him a little…made him too serious.

Now Buffy was walking down to the library in the hope to find a certain person. She walked trough the doors, and browsed quickly running her fingers along the old spines of the books on the shelves.

“Can I help you with anything?” a mousy voice asked from behind her.

Buffy looked up at the dark hair woman and smiled. “Yes...I’m actually looking for a Mr. Giles? Does he work here?” Buffy bit her lip in anticipation.

“Yes…he’s in his office follow me.” the woman said. “I’m Fred by the way…Winifred for, well long I guess.” She laughed softly.

“I’m Buffy.”

Fred whipped around. “Oh my God are you serious?! Really?”

“Yeeees?” Buffy questioned.

“Wow! Giles told me all about you, and the spell.” She whispered the last part. “Did it work?”

Buffy smiled. “That’s kinda what I wanted to talk to him about.”

Fred grabbed her hand and pulled her into Mr. Giles’ office. “Look who’s here!” she nearly shouted.

“Buffy…my, I was wondering if you were ever going to come back. Tell me did the spell work?” Giles asked with a smile saying he already knew that it did.

“What do you think?” she answered with a smile of her own.

Giles came around and wrapped her in a hug. “I’m so happy for you, dear. I hope this new life is everything you could ever want.”

Buffy hugged him back. “Oh…it is and more. And I would never would have had it if it wasn’t for you.” She said as she pulled away.

Giles took off his glasses and cleaned with a hanky that was in his chest pocket. “Well…I’m glad I could help. I hope everything works of wonderfully for you.”

Buffy smiled. “Thank you, for everything. I should be heading home now…gotta get back to my family.” With a last goodbye Buffy left the library and went back home.

Fred turned to her boss slash mentor. “Are you ever going to tell her that it wasn’t the spell that brought her here?” she questioned.

“And what, say that God put her in the place she belonged…like she would buy it.” Giles walked through another door that led to bright white lights and a comforting aura. His tweed suit morphed into a white robe.

Fred followed him through; her baby blue dress faded white and feathered wings grew on her shoulder blades. “Hey it could happen.”
