A/N: The Party

This takes place about 17 or so years (about 4ish years from now) after the end of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

"Honey," he yelled up the stairs impatiently as he tapped his toes against the hardwood floors.

"I'll be down in a minute," she called back to which Xander rolled his eyes. She had the power to change her outfit with a wave her hand or the blink of an eye. What could she be doing up there that was taking so long? He glanced at his phone again, they were late. Granted, it was a party and most people were fashionably late but they were bordering on just being late late. He gazed around the room to stop himself from yelling again by taking in the Halloween decorations. They were all the cartoony sort, not the scary kind and there weren't any witches mixed in the pumpkins, black cats, skeletons, and ghosts. They covered most of the walls and there was, even more, larger decorations on the outside of their large residence. He wasn't even sure why they had so many or even where they had all come from but they made for a good temporary distraction.

Clicking on the stairs pulled his attention back and he looked appreciatively at his wife. She walked down wearing an old style nurse costume with her hair pulled back and put under the white nurse's cap that went along with the outfit. She frowned as she looked down at her outfit like she wasn't sure about it. He was going to stop that right away. He took her closest arm and pulled her to him and placed a long kiss on her lips. When the two broke apart slightly to breathe he spoke,

"Honey, you look breathtaking." He could see her doubt for a moment but then she smiled. Her smiled faded slightly as she looked down at her dress pulling the hem down and then straightening the sleeves.

"Is this the right costume?" She always had trouble with Halloween. Too many of the costumes available hit close to home for her. She usually had to go with an occupational costume of some sort. He stepped around to the back of her and wrapped his arms around her stomach.

"You are beautiful," he said holding her tightly. He could feel her body slowly become looser in his arms. He reluctantly detangled himself from his wife and brought the two of them face to face again.

"Now are you ready to go? My friends are expecting us." His wife nodded once and moved to grab her purse when her text message tone rung out. Xander rolled his eyes as he knew whatever it was, was going to make them even more late. She took out her cell phone and a familiar sad, wistful, and proud expression settled on her face. Xander instantly knew who the text was from.

"How he doing?" he asked curiously wondering how the kid was settling into college life. He had an interesting life so far, much more interesting than most of the kids his age. Xander just hoped that bolstered him up for the change of college rather than the opposite. Honestly, the kid's life was a lot like his: excitement, bad guys, adventure, and death...only the kid had started a bit earlier than him and his family was a lot more tied into it.
Technically, the kid wasn't his. The kid was only legally related to his wife as the kid had been nearly 18 by the time the two of them had actually decided to tie to knot. But even before he and his wife he started dating he had gotten along with and started to care for Henry.

"Is he late too?"

As her fingers moved along the screen most likely responding to the text she told him, "He's going to another Halloween party. He wants us to know that he's sorry he can't make the party." Xander was a little disappointed that the kid wasn't coming, he had been looking forward to seeing the kid but he also knew that college was a time for adventure.

At least that's how his friend's college experience had been. He wished several times through the years that he could go back and do it properly, but until recently, it was also one problem after another. If it wasn't problems in town in was problems with Cleveland or just any demon/magical related problems. Their similar backgrounds meant that even they weren't from the same place, they understood each other problems. But it also meant that the amount of problems they had to face as a couple had doubled.

"Are you ready to go?" he asked as he made his way to her. His wife nodded as she put her phone back in her purse and instead brought another item out. It was a large light green glass ball. Honestly, most of the time looked like it belonged on some fortune teller's table, but it was actually a very powerful magical thingie. It was a way to keep her magic with her even when she was away from home. Willow had scoured the earth for it and gave it to them as a wedding present. Mostly so that she and Xander could visit each other more often but his wife appreciated the gift all the same

"Maybe we can go somewhere special after," he said suggestively with a waggle of his eyebrows. His wife smiled at him but jokingly asked, "Did you only marry me for my magic?"

"No, I married you cause you're hot." He grinned a teasing smile to show that he was joking. Even though she was breathtaking, her dark hair in contrast with her white nurse's uniform made her all that more striking. Regina grinned even wider and grabbed his arm and it started. It was a strange feeling, it always was no matter how many times he had done it, watching Cleveland appear as Storybrooke dissolved. He just hoped that nothing that Emma and the others couldn't handle with them would happen tonight.
