Title - I'll remember

Summery - 5 yrs. After "I will remember you" Angel meets up with Buffy. And finds out about her daughter.

I don't own them. Nope, I only own Kaylee Angela, Caden, and the others not associated with the BTVS/ATS series. The song was sung to me when I was a baby "Weave Me the Sunshine" is the song's name. Owned by Peter, Paul, and Mary.

A few changes – Doyle never died. Angel went though his crazy faze with Darla and still conceived Connor. Connor was taken by Holtz (not Wes). He came back as a 14 yr. old. And none of the Cordy/Connor or Cordy/Angel, (can you say ewwwww) And Connor never tried to kill Angel. And Oz never left. Tara is still a good friend of Willow's. Dawn is real. Faith woke up and went looking for Buffy. She and Buffy fought and now faith is a good guy but no one in SD/LA know that.

It's been 5 years since the Scooby gang had heard from Buffy. A few weeks after thanksgiving, she suddenly disappeared. She left a note saying that "I am so sorry for this you guys. I promise I'll be careful and I love you all. Love Buffy."

2 years after that the Council called. They said that a new slayer had been called. That meant she was dead. They held a small funeral that was exactly what she would have wanted. Every one including Angel attended. He looked so sad that his beloved was dead. Joyce blamed anyone that associated with Buffy. She and Dawn moved back in with Hank who was also devastated with his daughter's death. Dawn didn't understand but knew her big sister was dead .
Three years later everything was as normal as can be. Angel was working with Cordy and some guy named Doyle and Wesley in LA. He had a son shortly after Buffy was claimed dead. He was kidnapped by a sworn enemy. He came back 2 weeks later as a 14 year old. Everything was ok as can be after they talked. But the father/son relationship wasn't very convincing. Willow was engaged to Oz and had a good job at a law firm. Oz still worked in music and had several record deals lined up. Xander worked as the head of a construction company. He made a good sum of money. He and Anya have 1 daughter named Elizabeth Sara. Giles moved back to England where he and Olivia were soon married. They have 2, 3 year old twin daughters. Anna Marie and Michelle Elizabeth.

Meanwhile –

"Mommy? Mommy? MOMMY!" yelled Kaylee, crying. Kaylee woke up after she had a scary dream. Beth came running in seeing what her daughter was screaming about.

"Sweetheart? What's wrong baby?" Beth said as she took her daughter in her arms wile she cried. Her daughter looked up at her with her big green eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears as she answered;

"There were the bad men. They came and took you from me. And they hurt you. I was real scared." Her daughter said while hiccupping.

"Shhhhhhhh. It's ok. It was just a dream. Want me to sing you a song?" Beth said softly. The little girl in her arms nodded.

"Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine

outta the fallin' rain!

Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow

an' fill my cup again!

Well, I've seen the steel an' the concrete crumble

shine on me again!

The proud and the mighty all have stumbled

shine on me again!

They say that the tree of lovin'

shine on me again!

Grows on the bank of the river of sufferance

shine on me again!

Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine

outta the fallin' rain!

Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow

an' fill my cup again!

If only I could heal your sorrow

shine on me again!

I'd help you to find a new tomorrow

shine on me again!

Well, I've seen the steel an' the concrete crumble

shine on me again!

The proud and the mighty all have stumbled

shine on me again!

Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine

outta the fallin' rain!

Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow

an' fill my cup again!

Only you can climb the mountain

shine on me again!

If you wanna drink from the golden fountain

shine on me again!

Yeah!

Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine

outta the fallin' rain!

Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow

an' fill my cup again!

Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine

outta the fallin' rain!

Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow

an' fill my cup again!"

Beth sang finishing up her song. Her daughter drifted back to sleep and she lifted her up and tucked her in.

"Sleep tight baby." Beth whispered and shut the door softly behind her.

Beth walked into her living room and sat back on the couch. She reached over and grabbed the phone. She dialed a number and listened to it ring. After 8 rings the answering machine picked up.

"Hello Angel Investigations. We help the hopeless. Please leave your name, number, and a quick message after the beep. Thank you." Cordelia's voice came to an end.

Beth hung up and let a single tear fall. She sat back and let her memories flow back to her old life. The life of "Buffy Ann Summers".
