"Well?" Buffy asked anxiously as soon as Angel was in sight. "Let me come in first!" Angel replied, smiling. Angel walked in slowly for the sole purpose of annoying Buffy. And it worked, she was become more and more anxious with each step. The minute he sat down on the armchair in the living room, Buffy ran and jumped on his lap. "Omf!" Angel said as they laughed in unison. "Now." Buffy stated, using a tone of mock-seriousness, "Tell me what the Oracles said." "They pretty much said that as higher powers they could turn back time but, they're not gods, they can't take away a human life." Angel explained. "A life." Buffy repeated. "We created a life." Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Buffy's head. "You know what? We're having a baby, let's celebrate." Angel, again becoming the adult, reminded her of the situation, "We still have a lot to discuss, Buffy." He said. "I know, but I'm tired of crying! I wanna be happy now! See?" Buffy said pointed to her smile, "Happy Buffy." Angel couldn't help but smiling as Buffy bounced on his lap, planning an elaborate dinner. "Let's have dinner somewhere in the middle of LA and Sunnydale so everyone can come! We can invite Wes, Cordy, Will, Tara, Xander, Anya, Giles, Gunn-"She spoke with a child-like excitement. "Okay, Okay, We'll go Madison's Grill." Angel replied, overjoyed to see Buffy happy. "Good. Thank you, Angel." Buffy said as she gave him a quick kiss. "Oh- I'm sorry." Buffy said when she realized what she had done. She still wasn't sure where her relationship with Angel stood. A look of hurt passed over Angel's face. "Don't be sorry. I promised you that would make this work. All that matters is that we love each other. We'll make it work." He said. " So, does that mean we're together?" Buffy asked naively. "Yes, Buffy." Angel replied as he cradled Buffy's chin in his hand and brought his lips down to meet hers. As the kiss became more passionate, Buffy repositioned herself so that she straddling Angel. Abruptly Angel broke away. "Wh-" Buffy started to protest, but as she followed his gaze, she realized why he had stopped. Cordy was standing awkwardly at the entrance to the apartment. "Sorry!" Cordy said, "You two haven't been upstairs in two days. I just wanted to make sure you were still alive-er-one of you anyway." Buffy was shocked. Cordelia Chase, queen of all things social, was feeling awkward. Though she wanted to sit and let Cordelia awkwardly ramble on longer, Buffy stepped in. "So, Cordy, me and Angel are inviting you, Gunn, and Wes to dinner tonight at Madison's Grill tonight along with the Scooby gang. You wanna help me buy something to wear tonight?" "Don't have to ask me twice!" Cordy answered cheerfully. Buffy looked at Angel, pouting her lip and batting her eyelashes. Angel kissed her pout away and smiled as he went to retrieved the credit card Cordy had forced him to get earlier. "Be nice to it." Angel warned Buffy as he smiled and handed Buffy the little plastic square. Buffy took it gratefully and hugged Angel goodbye. "I love you." Angel whispered into her ear. "I love you more." Buffy whispered back. "Come on! We only have 'till sundown!" Cordy wined. Angel and Buffy broke apart. "Dinner at 7." Angel reminded Buffy. "Okay. Bye!" Buffy said with a smile, though he knew better. He knew that, deep inside, this brief time apart was going to be just as hard for her as it would be would for him.
