AN: Just a little Spangel Drabble. This also be the end folks, thanks again. And for the last time I own nothing.

"Peaches?" Spike questioned as he walked into the living room of the apartment he shared with his lover. Angel was sitting at the coffee table going over a checklist Breena had made to make sure they had everything they came with going back with them.

Xander had went with Breena to the supermarket and the butchers for last minute purchases for the road trip back to LA. Her and Angel were going to be leaving within the next few days, they couldn't stay at Xander's forever, no matter what he said to the contrary. The place just wasn't big enough for two vampires, a human, and a ancient being, Xander's new favorite nickname for Breena.

All four friends were reluctant to say goodbye. They had been having a lot of fun spending time together patrolling and just hanging out. The Sunnydale gang was still a little weirded out that Xander was with Spike so whenever they spent anytime with them it was strained and uncomfortable. So mostly they kept to the apartment and cemeteries they hunted.

"Hmm?" Angel said looking up at Spike who came to stand beside him, he noticed for the first time that he looked rather nervous, his hands were twitching and he couldn't seem to stand still. For Spike that was unusual, the only time he was that way was when he was, well nervous and stoned out of his mind. Angel took a whiff of the air around them and realized it was the former of the two this time. So Angel sat back and gave Spike his full attention, because whatever he had to say was important to the younger Vampire.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Angel cocked his head to the side and patted the cushion next to him, Spike sat smiling gratefully. He caught Angel's eyes and took a deep breath.

"I talked to Xander and he's okay with what I am about to ask you." Angel nodded, waiting patiently. "We were wondering if we could come back to LA with you and Breena and live in the hotel." Angel opened his mouth to speak but Spike rushed in ahead of him.

"We would stay out of the way, I could help with the cases and Xander could help with the fixin' up the place..." The longer the younger man talked the faster he spoke, he went on and on about how neither of them would cause any trouble and they would be good and no one would even know they were there.

"Spike..." Angel said, but he kept rambling.

"Spike..." This time a little louder and still no response, Spike was falling into panic mode.

"WILL." Angel said raising his voice, Spike jumped and winced facing Angel sheepishly.

"Sorry." He said hanging his head. Angel smiled softly and cupped his childer's chin in his large hand, bringing his face level with is own.

"Nothing to be sorry for me boy." Angel whispered caressing Spike's cheek with his thumb. The others had noticed that the longer Angel was whole again he more his accent came back, but this time his words weren't curses and insults toward those who didn't deserve it. He didn't inspire fear unless someone asked for it.

Spike sniffed, a lonely tear made it's way down his cheek. Angel sighed and placing both his hands at Spike's waist he lifted the smaller man on to his lap and guided his head to rest against his shoulder. Spike, stiff at first with this new turn of events, relaxed as Angel began rubbing soothing circles on his back with one hand while holding one of Spike's against his chest with the other. Kissing the smaller man's forehead he continued.

"You are more than welcome, Xander too, to come and stay at the hotel." At this Spike hugged Angel close and buried his face against his sire's neck and started crying. He had been so afraid that Angel would say no, when all he wanted to do was be around him.

"Shh, none of that now." Angel whispered, lips still pressed softly against Spike's forehead. "Now we can make up for lost time and be a real family." Angel could feel an overcome Spike nod against his neck as Angel turned and lay down on his back so Spike lay on top of him, chest to chest, his arms wrapped securely around him.

They eventually fell asleep, only waking with a flash of light as their picture was taken.

"Now that is so going on my Facebook." Xander said smiling happily at Breena who laughed.
