Hello, sorry for late!!! This is the end, but it’s veeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry cute! Awww..


Chapter 15

EPILOGUE

A few years later..

Buffy had just came out from the shower and she was dressing up. She looked at her image in the mirror for a while. So many things had changed in those years, she wasn’t the same anymore, she hadn’t the same body, but she liked herself anyway, plus, she was happy. A few years before she was sure she had found the man of her life, but things hadn’t gone as she had expected. When she was sure she would be alone forever and that happiness wasn’t meant for her, he had come back, or rather she had recognized the man she had always loved in every life.
She finished arranging her hair. She was beautiful! She wasn’t twenty tears old anymore, but there was the same fire in her look . She had arranged herself just for him, because that night they would go out alone, as a few years before, they had to celebrate.
She heard the water in the shower as she left her room and she peeped inside Dawn’s room, wondering how she managed to live in such a mess!
Lately, she dated a guy and she seemed to be happy, but she still spent ages in bathroom to arrange herself.

Buffy went downstairs slowly, without making a noise, after all, she was still a Slayer. She stood still at half stairs.
Angel sat on an armchair, his back was turned to her, he hadn’t heard her.
Buffy looked fascinated that big man hold in his arms a four years old little girl. He was telling her a story and she seemed to be scared, she moved her long blonde hair shaking her head in a negative way. She had her mom’s same hair and her same funny expressions, but she had her dad’s look, no doubt about that.
Buffy had often wondered how their little Sarah could be born, but finally she had stopped wondering it and she had just decided it was a miracle. She went downstairs, approaching to them and as she looked at them her look softened more and more.

Angel had been her first love and the first one to break her heart, she thought she had lost him forever, but luckily it wasn’t so. As she looked at him she thought about her father in her past life who held her in his arms as he told her some fables.
She hoped, no, she was sure that Sarah had a dad like the one Elisabeth had and her heart filled with happiness.
The little girl turned and when she saw her she smiled, jumping quickly off Angel’s lap.

Sarah: Daddy, daddy..

Angel turned and saw her run through the stairs, crossing Buffy’s path and threw herself in Spike’s arms.
Buffy turned to look at him. After all, he was always a vampire, so she hadn’t heard him reach them.
Sarah adored her daddy, she was crazy for him. Buffy was almost jealous and she didn’t know about whom.

Sarah: Daddy! Uncle Angel was telling me a scary story.

The two parents looked in disbelief the vampire on the armchair who was holding his arms up in surrender.

Angel: Hey, wait! I didn’t know ‘Snow-white’ was a scary story!
Sarah: But there’s a very evil woman who wants to hurt the Princess.
Spike: Really? And what happens then?- he asked her very sweetly.
Sarah: The Prince Charming arrives and he rescues the Princess. Uncle Angel said that they were beautiful, so I said that you were the Prince and mom was the Princess, but..

The little girl’s face darkened.
Sarah: I shouldn’t say that.
Buffy: Why not, honey?
Sarah: Because Uncle Angel said that you would get angry if I said that dad rescued you, because you always say you rescue yourself on your own!

After a moment of silence, everyone burst out laughing. Buffy took Sarah from Spike’s arms and held her tight.
Buffy: I’d never get angry with you, plus, don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I let your dad rescue me..

Sarah giggled and she wrapped her arms around her mom’s neck, happy because she and her mom had a secret to keep.
In the moment Buffy felt really complete.
Spike took in his leather coat, and after cuddling their daughter a little bit more, Buffy wore her jacket, too.

Spike: Thank you, Angel, for staying here with Sarah.
Angel: Don’t worry, I’m glad to have a niece. Anyway, I’m waiting for Giles, he has to show me some parchments..
Sarah: There’s Grandpa Rupert, too, alright!
Buffy: Yeah, sure. We know that the parchments are just a lame excuse, and we’ll find you on the floor as you play as two children when we are back!

They all laughed again, and the serenity that had lacked in that house for so many years, now was their reward.
Seeing her parents leave, the little girl wrapped her arms around her dad’s leg, almost crying.

Sarah: Why are you leaving? I wanna come with you, too.
Spike: You know you can’t. This is a night just for mom and dad! Plus, tomorrow we’ll celebrate your birthday, so go sleep soon and keep an eye on Angel and Giles, don’t make them destroy our house!

Sarah pulled away, wiped her tears and made the same face Buffy made when she had a mission. Spike kissed her. How much he loved his two girls!
Leaving, they met Giles, without any parchments but with ice-cream.
They smiled at the thought of two men with a total middle age around 150 years as they obeyed to a four years old little girl’s orders.

Spike: I just hope they wont’ destroy our house again like they did the last time.
Buffy: Do you remember last year? We saw Sarah sleep as they played with a little train..
Spike: I still wonder where they found that train
Buffy: Do you still remember our first special night?
Spike: How could I forget it? It was the first time you told me I was annoying!

The Slayer punched his shoulder lightly.
Spike: Just kidding, I remember every second of that night..

And as he talked he wrapped his arm around her waist.
Buffy: Do you still find me attractive?
Spike, Sure, day by day, you’re more and more beautiful and I’m more and more in love with you!

He kissed her to confirm his words.
After a moment that lasted an eternity they pulled away to avoid two vampires who attacked them. They got rid of them in a few minutes.
Buffy: I like the special night thing.

In fact, every year since they had declared their mutual love, during that night they acted like the Vampire and the Slayer. No mom and no dad, no wife and no husband. Just Hunters and lovers. They dressed like that time and they remembered who they were before their new duty and responsibilities. After all, they would always be that.
No more holy duty, because Faith and Angel did the patrol by then. The had a * normal * life, but they laughed every time they said that.
But that night was just for them, for Buffy and Spike, for the Slayer and for the Vampire.

Spike: There aren’t many demons around tonight.
Buffy: They must have look at the calendar, and they fear us more than they fear Angel and Faith.
Spike: Hell yeah they do! We are the best, we are dangerous.
Buffy: Well, my beautiful vampire, since we don’t have to work, why don’t you take me in your crypt and show me how dangerous you are?- she said, looking at him maliciously.
Spike: I couldn’t ask for anything better! So, are you ready for hours of hard fights?
Buffy: Always!

The door of the crypt slammed open and then they closed it, leaving outside the world that would stop for that night.
As many years before, that night left them cuddled together. That was their moment , for their love, for the two soul mates.
