A.N. The reason I didn't show Buffy using any of the magical powers against the Tymaria is because I see Buffy as using magic last if she can't physically fight the demon.

Chapter 6

Standing in the entryway to the living room was a group of four, two the Sunnydale gang knew the other two they didn't. One was a tall handsome black man with no hair; it made him look incredibly lickable in Anya's opinion, and wearing casual clothes, jeans and a zip up red sweater. The other was a slightly shorter man with mused black hair and a slightly 'flashier' wardrobe, with a Hawaiian shirt and olive green cargos.

"Cordelia? What are you doing here in San Francisco? And with Wesley?" The gang noticed Cordy holding hands with the former Watcher.

"I live in San Francisco, and Wesley is my husband." She placed another hand over their linked ones. Since becoming a part of Buffy's team again she had grown up, while she could still be as rude as anybody could, she's also kinder then she'd ever been. And Wesley had toughened up a lot, before he was a push over Watcher with a stick up his ass, now he's much more laid back, had very sexy stubble growing on his chin, ditched the glasses for contacts, and held his own next to Buffy and Cole.

"Might I ask why you're here in Buffy's home?" Wesley glared at them. When in Sunnydale they hadn't treated him well. He had been sent in to replace Giles as Faith's Watcher because he was still very distraught over Buffy's disappearance.

While he wasn't the coolest or funniest even the most laid back he cared about his duty. He took his position as Faith's new Watcher very seriously but she refused to listen to him. Would only speak with Giles and disparage him at every turn. After he helped them deal with the Mayor he left Sunnydale and eventually the Watcher's Council never to contact any of them again.

"I'd rather not get into it until Buffy returns, it's very important and I'd rather go over it only once." Giles explained, a little jealous that Wesley seemed to have found a place in Buffy's life, while he was only a distant memory.

Cordelia turned to Joyce who had entered the living room again with Darryl carrying tea and coffee. "Do ahh, certain someone's know that they're," She pointed to the Sunnydale team, "here?"

"Oh you mean…" Joyce pointed to the floor and the group of four nod, "From what I was told, they do. Apparently a couple nights ago she got really agitated and he had to calm her down and promise to take care of Buffy and the kids."

Confusion was the only expression on the Sunnydale group faces. "What are you talking about? You're not making sense." Xander complained.

"Maybe not to you, but to each other we make perfect sense. Don't worry though you'll find out soon enough." Cordelia promised them. She could hardly wait for the old gang's reactions to Drusilla and Spike living in Buffy and Cole's home with them.

Buffy and Cole shimmer in while Paige orbed her and her sisters to the Turner home. Joyce seeing the three sisters rushed them into a hug, since reconciling with Buffy she'd been the mother hen to everyone including the Halliwell sisters. "Hello girls. How are all of you?"

"We're great Joyce. I thought you wouldn't be here till tonight?" Paige questioned the woman who has been a motherly figure to her.

"Well, I was but we managed an earlier flight." Joyce told her.

Prue smiled at her boyfriend of two years swaying her body over to him. "So, I wake up this morning, after an absolutely wonderful the night, wanting more but find you gone? What was so important that you had to leave before giving me an equally fantastic morning?" She whispered to Gunn.

"Demon nest, Doyle had a vision. I would have given you a repeat of last night if it wasn't going down in a half hour." Gunn grinned his killer smile at her capturing her lips in a searing kiss.

Paige made a face of disgust. "Please, do you have to do that in front of me. It's enough I have to listen to you I don't want to see it as well." She shivered. They knew she was teasing, Prue's her sister and Gunn's a great friend, so she had to give them a hard time once in a while.

"Like you and Doyle aren't into PDA?" Gunn argued.

"He and I conduct our private lives in private." She didn't catch Doyle's snicker.

"Oh really Paige? And what was that little display I walked in on two nights ago?" Prue rose a perfectly waxed eyebrow.

"That…doesn't count, we thought everyone was tucked away in bed." Doyle and her were caught in the kitchen having sex on a chair.

"It was 9 o'clock at night, most of us are adults at the Manor and we don't go to bed at nine." Paige heard the sarcasm dripping from Prue's voice.

While the brunette and red head continue to tease each other, Angel had yet to take his eyes off Buffy and Cole. Cole was resting a hand on her stomach, his other hand around her waist and hugging her close. There was nothing sexual about the touch it was just comforting. Cole's dark head was near Buffy's blonde, his whispered words not heard by the human ears but he and Faith heard them.

"They can't hurt you anymore my love. They can't touch us, we're stronger then them." He pressed a gentle peck on her cheek. "Just remember the reason they're here is because they need you. You don't need them."

Angel's emotions ran wild, he felt pain, anger, jealousy, but most of all arrogance. He knew Buffy would help them with anything and he knew he'd get her back and away from Cole. Suddenly there was a tickle climbing up his neck, he only got that when someone from his vampire family was near.

Coming from the dining room area Drusilla drifted forward, gliding closer to Buffy and Cole that were oblivious to the danger coming up behind them. "Daddy!" She purred. Without thinking about how Drusilla could enter Buffy's home without an invitation, he lunged forward to attack her.
