Dawn walked back to the apartment in a daze.

/Let's review what happened: Naked Angel, Naked Buffy, Naked together, Sex on table, I can stay with Spike till whenever.sounds about right/

"This day couldn't get any weirder!" Dawn muttered as she walked through the apartment door.

Her eyes panned the apartment; there were papers everywhere, books thrown, plates smashed, and a trail of blood. Dawn nervously followed the trail. It ended at the bathroom door. She tried to open the door but it was locked, she tried a little harder and the door broke.

"Guess I'm gonna have to learn how to control that."

Spike was in the fetal position sitting in the tub.

"Mind telling me why you went all 'rock star' in the living room?"

Spike looked up at her his eyes were red and irritated there were dry tears on his checks.

"oh god who died.OH GOD WHO DIED?"

He suddenly grabbed Dawn by the arm and pushed her hand to his chest.

"You're human..that's great" Dawn said her dreams becoming reality

"No it's not I have this soul and I now I feel really really bad. I was getting REALLY comfortable, you know putting my past life behind me.and now I see their faces and then I see you and I can't believe the same person could do something like that and love you.and I just want this feeling to go away. Anything for this feeling to go away"

"I can help Spike please let me in. Let me help." She tried to touch his face but pushed her hand away

"I think we need a break."

"If that's what you need, I'll get some ice cream or finish up some homework."

"No I mean a break from us.I have to think about some things and I think we want different things and I..I.I"

Before Spike could finish Dawn ran out of the apartment.

".and I don't want to hurt you" he finished

*** Everybody had gathered in Willow's hospital room they all played with the baby and gave Willow gifts.

"A breast pump.wOw.ttthanks Cor.." Willow looked at contraption

"Well you know." Cordelia trailed on

"What are you going to name the baby?" Fred asked as she held the baby

"Well it's interesting you mention that I was thinking something to remember Joyce by but Willow wanted to name her Tara so we've come to the conclusion of Tara Joy Giles." Giles said sounding very British

"Sorry we're late we were.is THAT A BREAST PUMP?" Buffy asked

"Tara Joy Giles"

"Huh?" Angel asked

"The baby we named it.sorry trying to avert attention from the breast pump."

"Is Dawn okay" Gunn asked

"Um yeah I think" Buffy said

"Well Mrs. Giles you have bounced back from that baby so fast we can discharge this afternoon if you would like?"

"Are you kidding? Honey, get the bag. Now!"

"Well maybe tonight you and everyone else can come over for a post-baby-I'm fabulous BBQ!" Buffy announced

"You cook?" Cordelia asked horrified

"In theory" Buffy shot back

"Well actually I thought maybe you and I could go for a picnic and watch the sunset.you know seeing that's it's my first one in 248 years or so." Angel said giving Buffy a devilish smile

"How can I resist?" Buffy gave Angel a kiss

"And next on Sunnydale Place we all leave the lovebirds alone so they can do some sweet loving." Gunn mocked

"Who's up for taco's" Fred asked

***

"So where will this special picnic be taking place" Buffy asked as they walked through the door

"It's a surprise!" Buffy stopped unbuttoning Angel's shirt

"Well then I should save myself"

"I don't think so" Angel grabbed Buffy and carried her up the stairs on his shoulder Halfway to their bedroom they heard a whimpering and sobs. Angel put Buffy down and she walked to the source of the noise.

"Dawnie?" Buffy opened the door

Dawn was curled on her bed crying, Billy Idol and Sex Pistols records broken on the floor.

"I'll just be out here" Angel said closing the door

"I would ask are you okay but that's a severely stupid question and now I'm rambling.what's up?"

"I can't breath I feel like I'm dead.he's gone." she wept into Buffy's lap

"Spike that little son of-"

"No please it's not his fault.he's different"

"How. what does he have a soul" Dawn just starred at her "Does he?" Dawn shook her head

"His human" Dawn choked out

"What?" Dawn moved her hair to show a little scar on her neck

"I think it was this" Dawn stated

"Honey I'm sorry." They embraced in a hug

"You're not disappointed at me or anything"

"I know how love makes you do wired things"

"Go be with Angel. I just need to be alone"

Buffy left Dawn's room with a feeling of old times.easier times where the world was based on your boyfriend. Angel roused her out of her thoughts

"Is she okay?" he always thought of her as his sister

"Boy trouble."

"Girl talk"

"Yeah she needed someone who knows how it feels to have someone leave you."

"Buffy about that I'm sor-"Angel started to say

"I know"

*** "What's the deal with the whole Dawn/Spike/Angel/Buffy thing?" Fred asked stuffing her face with her third taco

"Yeah Cor I thought he was with that freaky dark haired vamp chick" Gunn added

"Well.As you know Angel is Spike's childe so is Dru well Spike and Dru got together while Darla also known as the big bleach blonde ho's beast was with Angel. When Angel got his soul they broke up went their separate ways. When Buffy and Angel were all hot and heavy Spike and Dru came to town to raise hell. When Angel lost his soul the three teamed up again. When Angel was about to end the world.Spike formed a thing with Buffy so he could get Dru back. To make this painfully long story short in the end Dru left Spike. Angel left Buffy. Spike falls for Dawn. Angel and Buffy back together."

"That's a nice story it just proves that love conquers all!" Gunn said

"I think I'm gonna be sick" Fred said burping

"I could totally be a writer for Passions" Cordelia said in her own thoughts

*** "Okay why did you bring me here? The site of many bad things" Buffy asked as they walked to the vacant lot above the mansion

"You'll see" Angel said he check his watch it was a few minutes till complete sunset "Anyway you know they have the best views from here"

"Okay but their better be a blan-ket" Buffy was in owe there were candles everywhere, food, and champagne

"You like?" Angel I asked Buffy nodded her head "Come on it's just a few moments till sunset." Angel took Buffy by the hand and they sat on the blanket

Buffy peeked at the food and took out a piece of bread "what's with your fascination with sunset?' Buffy asked inspected the bread then finally eating it

"This" Angel pointed out towards the sky in a matter of minutes the sun had set and it was dark. Buffy noticed that it was unusually dark out and that none of the stars were in the sky. Then suddenly the stars appeared and spread throughout the sky almost spelling "Will You Marry Me?"

"Oh my god that says 'Will you marry me?'" Buffy turned around to Angel; he had his hand out stretched with a ring in his palm.

When Buffy didn't answer he went into his prepared speech "I know I don't deserve you and that we've had a lot of trouble sometimes facing death but we've had a lot of god times and if you would-"

"Yes!" Buffy said finally "Yeah?" "Yeah!"
