Buffy burst into laughter. She hadn't quite laughed as much as she did in that moment in a long time. She calmed herself and looked at him. She looked extremely surprised then. Almost terrified.

"Seriously? Man, did you just go dumb or something?" Then she looked her surroundings. "Where are we? Angel?"

She looked at him, now she was worried, maybe even afraid.

"Answer my question!" Angel said grabbing her arms and holding them tight.

"This is ridiculous! Angel it's me! Buffy! Who the hell do you think I am?"

She answered annoyed and then continued…

"Now you answer me! Where are we? Where are my kids? Where are Emy and Matt? Angel?"

"Oh My God! Buffy it's really you…" He let her go for a second and pulled her close to his body in an embrace.

"Angel, you're scaring me..." (She held him close to her, she felt safe like usual)

"My head's hurting. I don't understand anything."

"Buffy you're alive again. Reborn beloved…" Buffy was being held by Angel so she wouldn't fall.

"What? But I have other memories… like I can't remember of you... you're not there Angel... am I having amnesia? Or is it like a dream? Are we in heaven… did you come back to me?

Tears streamed down his beautiful face. Buffy touched his face gently wiping his tears with her thumb and kissing him slightly... like she was asking for permission to do it. His responded to her actions by pulling her close and tasting her lips… A bitter sweet taste mixed with tears. When breathing became an issue for both, he slowly pulled her away but still keeping her close to him.

"Angel? Please talk to me."

He sat her down looking straight into her eyes... God only knows how he had missed the recognition showing in her beautiful hazel green eyes.

"You said I was reborn, like... I live again with another name and ID? A different family, friends... I remember thinks that never happened with me before and I can't remember you... or the things we had together."

"It's okay."

"No it's not! I have these memories that are so awful as well. I was hurt, my mom is dead, God Dawnie is so sad."

"Buffy stop it. Come, get some sleep. You might feel better later." He laid her down on the bed and put the covers over her, sitting himself on the edge of the bed.

"Will you hold me? I know its morning but will you just hold me?"

"Of course."

"Angel?"

"Yes?"

"Nothing…" She breathed.

"I know you… What's on your mind?" He said looking down at her.

"It's nothing... it's just if I sleep and I come back as the other me? I mean I don't wanna leave you Angel. I told you I would find you again and I just... I don't want to let you go." The tears fell streaming down her face, God it was like putting a freaking stake to his heart. He wanted to kiss her, have her right here and now. But his mind kept him sane.

"Just sleep, beloved. I'll be here when you wake up. I love you."

"I love you too." She said holding him tighter against her small body.

Meanwhile in Dawn's room

Dawn slept soundly in Spikes arms. She was dreaming... Well as a matter of fact it was a very yummy dream. There she was curled up in Spike arms while he gently kissed her neck and slowly captured her lips in his lips touching her skin softy. Whispering against it how much he was wishing just this that for such a long time. Their breathing becoming one, their bodies trembling with anxiety, and unquenched lust. Suddenly she wakes with a noise.

"Bugger." Spike wakes as well and looks at her confused with her swearing.

"What pet? It's probably the rain or the wind. Go to sleep again. Wow... wait a second what time is it?"

"7:30am."

"Go back to sleep." He said with a yawn and a very sleepy voice.

"I wish I could go back to my dream."

"That good, huh?"

"You wouldn't believe it if I told you…" She said giving him a soft smirk.

"So who was the lucky guy?" He said lifting his eye brow, not sure he wanted to know.

"Why do you ask?"

"Bit, I wasn't completely asleep 'y know."

Dawn swallowed in dry before saying something like "no one in particular". Then Spike left his laying down position for a sitting one whispering very close to her ear the same way he had done in her dream:

"That's bullshit and you know it. Who is it?" With his best puppy eyes and a sexy voice he asked.

"You..." The whisper was so low that he thought that he may have been crazy… definitely she hadn't said him right?

"What pet?"

"I said you... it's ridiculous, I know, because you see me like a sister and… She didn't get to finish because the moment Spike heard it was him, he just pulled her to him and kissed her with all he had.

He could feel her body trembling with longing for his touch, his kisses... He felt her responding to his kisses, slowly searching for his body, touching him, kissing him and suddenly when breathing became issue, the two lovers broke apart.

"I'm sorry." Spike said getting quickly off the bed.

"What for?" She said grabbing his arm."I kissed you back."

"Dawnie you're just a child, well you're 17 but still. I can't do this. I can't let myself go, even if I really do want this. I can't just make love to you like that."

"You're… rejecting me?"

"No never... I want you! Badly, but I want you because I can't have you. Not because of a silly dream."

"Don't you get it? How many times do I have to tell you that I FREAKING LOVE YOU?" She said raising her voice a little bit in the end and saying it like she was spelling it out or something like that.

"You love me? Like a sister does a brother."

"No William. I love you like a woman. But fine… don't believe me."

He grabbed her arm pulling her close to him.

"And if I wanted to be your boyfriend?"

Dawn smiled from ear to ear before pulling him into a kiss again.
