Cordy: Wesley, Angel called. I told him what we know.
Wesley: Did he have anything to say about it?
Cordy: Nope. He was with Buffy. (She grinned) Angel's human.
Wesley: He's human? How?
Cordy: He doesn't know. (She turned around) Hey look who's here.. Mr. Sunshine.
Angel (smiling): I just came to get some clothes. I'm staying in Sunnydale for a while.
Cordy: You're going back, but what about Angel Investigations?
Angel: Don't worry. I'll be back. I just want to spend some time with Buffy.
Angel packed his bag with enough clothes to last him for almost two weeks. As he was walking out the door Gunn walked in and said, "Hey Angel."
Angel: Hey. I'll be back soon.
He hopped in his car and drove off.
(Walking to the others)Gunn: Where's he goin?
Cordelia: He's human and he's going to Sunnydale. He'll be there a while.
Gunn: Human. Cool. What's in Sunnydale though? (he paused) Ooh... I see.
Cordelia: Yeah. Buffy love.
Wesley: I'm going to call Giles to see if he can find anything.
Wesley went to his office and called Giles.

:: Sunnydale ::
Buffy: Say that again! You two...
Xander: Are engaged.
Buffy: That's so great! Oh my god... when are you going to have the wedding?
Anya: Well now that you're alive we'll be doing it sooner (she smiled). The sooner the better because then me and Xander can have sex on our honeymoon and make babies.
They all smiled at Anya's typical comment. Buffy looked at Dawn and all her friends. They loved her so much. She felt like the luckiest girl on earth.
Buffy: So Dawn how's school going? Gettin good grades?
Dawn: It's good. It was pretty hard to concentrate because of you're... death, but I've been doing pretty good.
Buffy: Good. Giles?
Giles: Yes?
Buffy: How would we explain this to people? Me being back... having been buried and all...
Giles: Um.. well.. there isn't much to say really. I mean... Things like this happen occasionally? We could say ... I know this may seem laim but we could say it was an imposter. (he smiled)
Buffy: That's probably the best thing to say although yes that would sound laim and dumb to other people, but it's good. I guess we shouldn't worry about it.
Giles: No.
Buffy: I'm gonna go. Angel's probably waiting for me. I'll see you guys later.

Buffy went in the house and placed her back on the table. "Angel?" She called. "You here?.... Guess not."
She sat in her living room. Angel made some stops at the grocery store. He picked some cookie dough, chocolate fudge mint chip, peanut butter, crackers, tea, soup and other favorite goods. There was a long line at the register, that alone took him about 5;10 minutes. Then there was a car accident which held him on the road for an hour. It was starting to get late and he wanted to get back to Buffy really bad.
Buffy was watching a very boring movie. It was late and she was tired. So she fell asleep on the couch with remote still in hand. Finally Angel came home. He placed the bags on the kitchen counter. He called, "Buffy?"
He walked into the living room and stopped short at the beautiful, heavenly sight before him. He slowly walked over to her, scooped her and put her in bed. "Angel?" she said quietly.
"Sorry I'm late." He smiled. "Got held up."
Buffy wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. "Angel... I'm not tired anymore."
They both laughed. "Good." was his response.
Buffy lifted her arms and he pulled off her shirt. She took off his and unbuckled his pants. They kissed some more. Pretty soon they were enchanted in each other's love.
"I love you so much." she smiled and kissed cheek.
"I love you so so much." He smiled back.

Angel was in Sunnydale for two weeks... occasionally going to LA for Angel Investigations. Wesley dismissed the case of Thinian the Goddess, since they couldn't find anything on a possible evil cause. Buffy was out shopping with Willow, Tara, Dawn and Anya.
Willow: Buffy, I'm so happy everything's going great with Angel.
Buffy: Yeah me two. (grinning)
Anya: Are you two going to get married? You should get married. We could have.. a joint wedding!
Buffy: No we're not getting married. It's too soon. I mean sure I've loved Angel... forever! But we haven't been together in over two years.

:: Los Angeles ::
After Wesley called him Giles ordered some books on Thinian the Goddess from England which finally arrived a week later. In the morning he opened the first book in the box. It was as big and old as the ascension books. "Thinian the Goddess... of generosity. Let's see what we can find out."
Giles slowly flipped through the delicate pages. Then there was a brief paragraph on the definition of Thinian. Thi meaing sweet, inian meaning illusions. "Sweet Illusions.. what could that mean?" He mumbled to himself. Thinian the Goddess was the one responsable for bringing Buffy back. She did it for good. There weren't any other obvious intentions...... then again, sweet illusions. Good deeds being done to hide the evil scam behind it. So since Thinian means sweet illusions... she is just using her appearance to do evil. How do I connect this to what she did to Buffy and Angel? Let's see.... first she brought Buffy back. Then suddenly Angel is human. Only the oracles have the power to grant that. Thinian is the only god up there who has the authority to order humanity granted to Angel. Now the question is.. why would she grant Angel his humanity? I mean sure we can't be certain that she did grant him his humanity, but if she did, why? There's something that she must want to happen to either Buffy or Angel." Giles paused for a sip of tea. He continued reading from the book, "Thinian is very hard to decipher. She looks and talks like the sweetest god ever." He took another sip. "So in other words, the sweet illusion... the bad behind the good is very hard be pointed out. And the appearances of her make it even harder to believe that she could possibly be evil." Giles picked up the phone and called Wesley.
Her drowsy voice answered, "Hi Angel Investigations we help the---"
"Cordy it's me."
Her voice perked up a little, "Oh Giles. Hey!" She tried smiled. "I'm guessin you have news?"
"Yes... well more like a almost accurate conclusion based on some things I've read this morning. Is Wesley there?"
"Hang on a sec, I'll get him."
Cordelia took the cordless black phone with her and knocked on the office door. Without looking up he answered, "Come in."
"Wes, Giles is on the phone. He has some news.... a conclusion on the Thinian Goddess."
"Oh!" Wesley quickly looked up at her and took the phone. "Giles, you have news?"
It took Giles almost 20 minutes to explain what he discovered with a few comments from Wesley. "That is very interesting and it makes a lot of sense. Have you called Angel yet?"
"I'm going to call him now."

:: Sunnydale ::
Angel was pacing back and forth packing clothes into the suitcase he had. Buffy awoke from her sleep. She was speechless. What was happening? He couldn't really be leaving her. Soon she found her voice shaky inside and said, "What are you doing, what's going on? Is there a case in LA?"
Angel's eyes were a little watery at the thought of leaving her again. He was saddened at how much this was going to hurt her, but he just had to. He can't stay. Not like this. "I've been changed back to being a vampire. I'm going back to LA."
"What?!" Her eyes began to water as her fear became the hard cold truth. "NO! No! You can't be going how can you go after everything we've done?! Are you.. " her voice choked out, "leaving tonight?"
Angel paused. He knew he should leave now, just get it over with. It'll hurt more if I don't leave right now. "No. I'm going to stay one more day here with you, but then I'm leaving. I'm sorry. This is just the way it has to be.. for you."
"That's identical to what you said the last time." She said flatly, sitting farther up. "You can't leave me, not now."
Angel was about to answer, but Buffy held up her hand and ran to the bathroom to vomit. She came back to see a worried look on Angel's face. "I haven't had much sleep last night. You obviously did. You look well rested."
Angel held out his arms for her as an invitation. This was like teasing her, but she took the offer anyway, nesting herself in him. She sniffled and then sneezed. He wispered, "I'm sorry. I love you Buffy. I'm so sorry it has to be this way."
"But Angel, it doesn't have to be this way.. we can work it out. So what we won't be able to make love or have picnics in the sun. But you know what? We've made love enough times this month that will last me and you an eternity. Sex isn't everything. And I don't care about children. Dawn is like my child. She's my kid sister. I've got my friends, beauty, love, a heart, a soul, the only piece of this pretty puzzle that I really need to keep is you. You're a piece of me. You always will be. I'm your girl. Always." She looked up at him and smiled.
He smiled back. Did she win this time? "You're always my girl. I'm always yours. You carry me in your heart. One day I will get my humanity back. It's in a prophecy. Shanshu. The day I'll be made human. That's when I'll return to you my love. I promise."
"That's not good enough."
The phone rang. They were going to let it keep ringing, but it wouldn't stop. "Hello?" Angel answered.
"Angel. This is Giles. I have some news on Thinian the Goddess."
Giles explained the same thing he told Wesley. They both hung up. "Buffy you should see a doctor."
"Why? Nothing's wrong. I'm sure it's just a flu or something."
"Buffy." He told her what Giles told him. "I think Thinian the Goddess is responsable for making me a vampire again. I think she made me human so we can have sex and then take it away."
"And your point is.."
"I think you might be pregnant."
"I doubt that..... I mean we used... no.. we didn't. Ok make an appointment for tomorrow. I wanna relax today. Maybe it'll get you to stay an extra day." She smiled.
"Buffy, don't even think that I would leave you when you're pregnant."

:: Los Angeles ::
"So Thinian the Goddess is evil?" Cordy asked Wesley.
"Yes. According to the text Giles read to me. That's what it seems like.
"What do we do wait around waiting for her to make her move?" Cordy asked.
"She's already made her move." Wesley said flatly.
"And what would that be?"
"The goddess is the one who brought back Buffy. That's the good. The good for Buffy and Angel is that she made Angel human."
"She did that? I thought it was only the oracles." She gave a puzzled look.
"They are the only ones who can do that. Thinian forced them to. And Giles thinks that maybe she will take away that humanity. For what reason we don't know."
"It seems to me this is the most complicated evil ever."
"Yes. I think you're right."
Cordelia just sat down when another vision hit her. She shouted in pain, "Ah!"
Wesley was quickly by her side. "What do you see?"
"A young girl... wearing a blue dress. Behind the funhouse at the Sunnydale fair.. she's being attacked by the goddess." Cordy takes a breathe, "Call Angel now."
It was 2 in the morning when he dialed. Angel picked up and whispered, "Hello?"
"Angel, this is Wesley. Cordelia just had a vision of a girl at the Sunnydale fair. Behind the funhouse, being attacked by Thinian."
"Okay, we're going now. Bye"
They both hung up. Cordelia said, "Wait Wesley, there's more..." pauses, "Oh god."

:: Sunnydale ::
Angel gently shook Buffy on the shoulders. "Buffy... wake up." He whispered in her ear.
Grumpily Buffy answered, "What?"
"Come on. Get up."
She glances at the clock and buries her face in the pillow. She mumbles, "It's 7am!"
He barely heard her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her up against him. Then he tenderly kissed her on the collar bone. She sighed happily. "We have to go to the fair, now. A girl is going to be attacked. So come on."
"Ok ok." After Angel let go she got up. "Is that all Cordy saw?"
"yeah and just the little details of where. So let's go."
They left running towards the fair.

:: Los Angeles ::
"What?" Wesley alarmed by her concerned face.
"It's Buffy.. that goddess does something to her stomach... she says something like leg zeg junk greeble. Do you know what that means?"
"I'll have to look in my texts. Try and call Angel."
Cordelia called the mansion, but there was no answer. "We're too late. They left."
"Leg zeg junk greeble..." He began. "means blessed be spawn demon seed." He frowned.
Cordy frowned too and said, "Ew! That's gross. Demon seed..... spawn demon seed. So what is Buffy pregnant with a human child? Which won't remain human for long after that goddess does her stuff?"
"Putting it that way, yes."
"And now there's nothing for us to do to stop her."
Wesley's frown grew deeper as he started searching through his books. "We'll have to prepare for the worst. Buffy carrying a demon. Which means that we must find a way to revert it back to it's human self or we'll have force Buffy to have an abortion."
"Force her? Wes, don't you think that's a little.. I don't know, not right. Maybe make her angry.."
"Cordy, we can't have Buffy carrying a demon and actually bring it into this world. I'm sure Buffy will agree."

:: Sunnydale Fair ::
Buffy and Angel stood at the beginning of the park. It was crowded.. could be almost all of Sunnydale. "Ok... now how on earth are we going to find this girl and a goddess?"
"Cordelia said it was behind the funhouse."
Buffy skimmed around and then pointed towards the ferris wheel, "Over there!"
They both ran. As they neared the fun house they heard the cries of a young girl. Her soul was being sucked out of her. "Poor silly girl." The goddess shouted.
"Hey! You big ugly prune! Over here!" Buffy shouted.
"Ah.... Buffy. Hi. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you're very pleased with me bringing you back to life. You can't kill me."
Angel punched the goddess. She didn't even flinch. She lifted Angel and threw him. Buffy ran to him and kneeled at his side. She attempted at helping him get up, but Thinian grabbed Buffy and threw her. "Ah!" Buffy yelled as she hit the ground and rolled. The goddess walked over to Buffy. "Buffy!" Angel got up but was too late.
The goddess held Buffy by her neck. Pressing hard on her stomach she, chanted, "Leg zeg junk greeble."
Her stomach glowed a bright blue. Buffy screamed. Angel couldn't move. He frozen where he stood. When the evil goddess was done she disappeared and Buffy fell uncouncious. Angel quicky ran to her and rubbed her forhead as she came to. "Buffy.."
"Angel?"
"Are you ok?"
"I guess.. but I think my legs are a little numb. Can you carry me?"
"Of course my love." He gently scooped her into his masculine, loving arms.
She brushed herself off and sighed. "Let's go home. I could really use a nap."
"That sounds like a good idea, plus not to mention that It's going be a little close to 6 and well... I don't really want to burn up." He started walking. "Buffy, we'll go to Giles later and see if he might know what that... Buffy?" He glanced down at the beauty in his arms to find her sound asleep. He just smiled and let out a happy sighed. She's so cute when she's sleeping.
They arrived back at the mansion just before sunrise. Angel went to the living room to put Buffy on the couch. He took a pretty silk knit blanket and covered Buffy. Then he lit the fire for. He then gave her a peck on the cheek and went to his room to take a nap. As he lay slowly easing into sleep he thought about earlier. The tears in her eyes. The pain for both of them. How desperately she wanted me to stay. How could he even thinking of leaving her again. It took a while, but he fell asleep.
The next morning Angel woke from Buffy's relentless screaming. He bolted to the living room. When he saw Buffy's belly he said, "Oh god."
Buffy's stomach was twice a big. She looked like she was 3 months pregnant. "Angel?!"
"Buffy..." He place his hand on her belly. "It'll be ok. I promise." He kissed her forhead.
"Angel... is-is it going to be a... demon?"
"I don't know. You'll be ok. Stay calm."
"Calm.. down?!! How can I calm down?! Yesterday I find out that I'm most likely pregnant and then I wake up the next day with my stomach the size Texas and you tell me to calm down?!"
"Shh... Ok. I guess calm down is the wrong thing to say. I'm sorry. Listen Buffy... just lie down, close your eyes and try to relax. When the sun sets we'll go to Giles."
She sighed, "Ok. But don't leave my side until I'm asleep."
"Ok." He smiled.
When night arrived, Buffy and Angel quickly went to Giles' house. They made a huge effort to not run into any vampires... because now would defenately not be a good time. When Giles opened the door and saw big Buffy was standing before him, his jaw dropped. Buffy pushed her way between Giles and Angel saying, "Yeah, Yeah I know alraedy. I'm pregnant.. Stop gaping like an idiot." She sat down on the comfy couch.
"Giles... what can we do?" Angel asked for Buffy.
"Lord.. I don't know. I've been looking through all sorts of books, all day to see if I can find some more information on this Goddess and what she's up to... well I guess getting Buffy pregnant is what she was up to. I haven't found anything useful. At all." He frowned.
"Could I be carrying... a demon child?" Buffy gently rubbed her belly.
"It could be." Giles rubbed his temple.
Angel's lit up with from a thought, "Giles. A while back there was a guy that Cordelia slept with. And the next day she wound up pregnant. Her and four other woman were pregnant with a demons baby. Do you think it's something like that. Like maybe the goddess used me to get Buffy pregnant with demon or something?"
"That's a thought."
"As soon as we find out how to kill this bitch and I get a little flatter I'm gonna wack her!" Angel rubbed Buffy's back.
"I know someone I can see."
Giles looked up at Angel, "Who?"
"The oracles. Buffy you stay here. I'm going to LA and speak to them."
"Ok. It's not like I could go far even if I wanted to."

Angel through the dust at the gateway and said, "I beseech the knowing ones."
There was a flash of light and then Angel was standing before the oracles.
Oracle Sister: Brother the warrior has returned to us.
Angel: What's happening to Buffy?
Oracle Brother: So it's true then what the ulgaries said. Thinian has succeeded.
Angel: Succeeded in what?
Oracle Sister: In spawning the
Oracle Brother: biggest evil that will bring hell apon earth.
Angel: You know this end of the world stuff is really getting old. Just tell me how to undo what Thinian did to Buffy and stop the end of the world from happening.
Oracle Brother: The end of the world is tied to Buffy's pregnancy.
Oracle Sister: You cannot undo the creation of a human being. A human being of which was created because of you. Thinian did not create the child inside the Slayer's womb. You were human. You did not do anything a man would do to prevent pregnancy. However.. the only thing that we can do is make the child human.
Angel: What kind of demon is it?
Oracle Sister: It is not a demon. It is a god. Thinian cannot have children, so she used you two. She made the child her s by doing a spell. The god growing quickly inside Buffy will be the most powerful god ever and because of Thinian, he will be evil. And he will make it his personal goal to end life on earth. That baby cannot be born. If that baby is born a god, the slayer will die during birth.
Stammering Angel asked, "H-how can we stop it?"
Oracle Brother: On this piece of paper (paper goes to Angel) is a spell. You must say those two words four times to kill the goddess. That is the only way to make the baby human again and stop the apocalypse.
Angel: Where can I find the goddess?
Oracle Sister: She will find you. We told her that tomorrow night there is lady who needs to be blessed. You will go to the park with the Slayer and fight her.
Angel: How though? Buffy's in no condition to fight and the last time she froze me. I couldn't move at all.
The oracles give him green glowing sphere.
Angel: What's this.
Oracle Brother: This is what you will use to fight the goddess. It will prevent her from freezing your moments. There is a hole on one side. You put your finger in there and then a light will shine on her and she will materialize.
Oracle Sister: That is all. Now go.

Back at Giles' house Angel told them everything. "So I'm carrying an evil god?"
"Yeah. And" He took out the green orb, "the oracles gave me this." He handed it to Giles. "They said that it will protect us against Thinian."
"What is the hole for?" Buffy asked.
"When I put my finger in it... it will shoot a light at her and she will materialize."
"Well it's night so we better go now." Buffy said.

In the park they saw Thinian wondering around. "Well there's our friend Thinian. Looking as bright as ever."
"Ok. Now Buffy.. I want you to stay clear of her. Stay behind me and when I tell you to put your hands on mine and I'll shoot the light at her. "
"Got it."

Angel yelled, "Hey.. looking for someone?"
Thinian laughed and said, "Well hello pretty."
"I'm not here to chit-chat." Angel kicked the goddess in the stomach. This time she flinched lightly. The goddess punched Angel in the face.. which sent him flying falling to the ground with Buffy.
"Buffy are you ok?"
"Yeah.. help me up."
Thinian and Angel continued what seemed to be hours of fightng. Buffy was getting tired of standing. She felt like she was going to fall any second. She could feel her stomach getting biggr. The goddess kicked Angel in the stomach and he toppled over. "Angel!" Buffy shouted.
Thinian started walking towards Buffy, but Angel grabbed her ankle and pulled her down. He got up and threw her past Buffy. Angel ran up to Buffy. Angel took out the orb. "Ok. Take my hands." She did. Angel put his finger in the hole. A extremely bright light hit Thinian. Buffy squinted and watched as the goddess began to slowly disappear with each scream she let out. Buffy put her hand on her stomach.. it flattened right then underneath her hand.
"Angel." She whispered and smiled.
He smiled back. "Am I still pregnant though?" He nodded yes. "So then you're staying."
"Of course love." He kissed her on this lips. "I'll never leave. I'm staying forever. You won't get rid of me."
She laughed. They started walking home across the park. "For a name how about Infinity?" She asked smiling.
"I like that."
"Angel?"
"Yeah?" He wrapped his arm around her.
"I love you."
"Really? Stange I can't help, but get this feeling that I love you too."
"Huh... wow... that is stange." Buffy smiled and they walked on.

The End.
