The world seemed peaceful now that all the angels were gone now. All thanks to Alex. Alex has been fighting the angels pretty much his entire life, his family and friends were taken away from him, by the angels.

I lost my own mother. She had angel burn. It is what happens when the angels link minds with you and feed of you. It was done by my father, Raziel. I've always wondered who my father was. And now that I know, I hate him for what he did to my mother. I can never forgive him for what he caused my mother and humanity.

Once upon a time, I would have regretted giving Beth a reading. But now as I take a look around the cabin, I don't regret it. I have Alex by my side, and I love him more than anything in this entire universe. I looked down at his sleepy face and smiled. It was early morning. I saw his eyes flicker and open, his blue-gray eyes held sleepy memory.

"Good morning," I whispered, kissing his cheek. He yawned and then looked at me. His stormy eyes locking with mine. "Morning," he whispered. I couldn't help gazing at him, he was so gorgeous.

"What do you want to do today?" I asked. He reached out and touched my face, "Anything, you pick. I chose last time." I pretended I was in deep thought. "We could just lay down and look up at the sky."

He smiled at me. "Perfect," he said.

...

We laid down outside, looking at the gray sky, holding each other close. I loved spending each and every day, alone with Alex. It was healing, and we were both thankful to be alive to spend the rest our lives with each other. It was exactly what we longed for.

"Alex?"

"Yeah?"

"You said you wanted to travel around for a bit. Where do you want to go first?"

He seemed to be in thought. "I don't know. Anywhere I guess. Where do you want to start?"

To be honest, I was wondering what happened to Liz and Kara. Liz and I have gotten close at the base. Although Kara has never liked me, I still wonder about her sometimes. I also wonder about Seb and Meghan, or "Meggie" as he calls her. The last time I heard from him, they were together down in Mexico City helping to rebuild.

"I was wondering where Liz and Kara are," I said. He paused. "Did they tell you where they were going when you left for Pawtucket?" I sat up and tried to remember. "Idaho."

"They are probably still there, I don't think they've died." I shook my head. "I don't think so either."

"For starters, I just want to go see the old base," he said, his voice soft.

I looked at him in surprise. "What? Alex, no."

He looked at me. "I have too. It was my team. A team that I left behind for a year. And the worst thing is I left you for a year. I'm so sorry, Willow."

I swallowed. "It...it wasn't fun. But I'm just happy to have to back. I would have been worse if you never came back."

He bent his head down to mine. "I'll always come back." He kissed me, softly, and then more deeply.

We pulled apart, "I love you."

He gave me a quick kiss. "I love you too."

"But Alex, are you sure you want to see the base?"

"If the angels were still here, it would have been even more motivation to kill them all. But now that they are gone...closure, I guess."

I nodded. "Okay, I'm coming with you then." He locked eyes with me. "I wouldn't have it any other way." We kissed.

"After we are finished traveling?" I asked. He grinned, and I squealed as he pulled me onto his lap. "I thought we decided we are going to spend the rest of our lives with each other."

"Of course," I said. "I just meant during that time."

"We'll figure it out as we move along with our days," he said, touching my cheek.

I smiled. "Sounds like a good plan."

"Don't I always make good plans?" he said, teasing me.

I started to play with his dark hair. The dark hair that matched his blue-gray eyes beautifully. "Yes you do, since the first day we met."

He smiled. "Even back then, I just knew that I couldn't lose you. And thank God that I didn't. It would be complete hell if I did." I stoked his arm, my fingers lingering on the AK tattoo he wore proudly. "Complete hell," he repeated. I put my finger to his lip. "Alex...just kiss me." He didn't say anything. He just leaned over and I fell weak and his lips touched mine. I kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck. He laid down on the grass, pulling me fully on top of him. He began stroking my long, blonde hair, all the way down it's length.

We pulled apart just enough for air.

"I know I've said this a million times, but I will never get used to how good that feels." I didn't answer, I just smiled and began kissing him again. I lost track of how much time has passed, I was just enjoying the feel of our lips moving together.

"Let's go inside," he said, winking at me.

"For what?" I asked, giving him an impish look.

He gave me an impish look back in return. "You know." He kissed me. He got up and picked me up carrying me bridal style into the cabin. He put me down, and closed the cabin door. The only thing on our minds were each other and the love we bring to each other's lives.
