Ah ha!

Thought I forgot about my fics!

Never!

For the ones who are still waiting for this story to end, I know I've been away, but my life is busy. I bought my own house and was taking care of some renovation. This week I'll be finally moving to my new place. My muse was just pestering me to write my fics, but I was so tired I couldn't. Believe me… my head sometimes was so full of ideas that I had to start a notebook with them so I'd not forget.

As I told you before, I had already ended this fic, but... there is always a but… I had my personal dilemma. Should I use the end I had planned or should I go on with a new one? BA are happy right now and all that, so why not let it be?

Well, I ended sticking to my original plan because it is what I wanted to do from the beginning. So…here it is.

Enjoy!

Buffy left the safety of her dreams very slowly. She blinked and opened her eyes, feeling the other body behind her. Her husband had his arms wrapped up around her and she couldn't avoid smiling. They had arrived in Maui, one of the Hawaiian Islands, two weeks before. The first two days they spent inside their room in the Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa. Then, they went to explore the island. They took long beach walks under the sun and the moon along Ka'anapali Beach, got to see Honolua Bay, and eat at the many restaurants along the beach. Today was the last day they would be in the Hawaii.

Buffy ran her hands through Angel's arms and then raised it to look at the ring that showed to everyone they belonged together. Another smile appeared.

"Is there something interesting in this ring of yours?"

Buffy chuckled and turned around to look at the eyes of her Angel. He kissed her lips softly and then she ran one finger all over his face.

"Do you know you are really beautiful? You do look like an angel."

"Well, you have your private angel then. Isn't it good?"

Buffy smiled and kissed Angel fully. He turned her over him and she put her head on his chest to hear the thumpthumpthump of his heart.

"I love you."

"Love you too. Did you like it here?"

"Loved it too. It was a really great surprise."

"Sean told me you always wanted to come to Hawaii. So, here you are."

Buffy raised her head from Angel's chest to look at him.

"Are you telling me you did it for my benefit? Isn't cool to have a husband just like? I think this power of mine can be useful somewhere in the future."

Buffy tickled Angel who rolled them over and positioned himself atop her. Then, he proceeded to ravish her mouth. The world outside was just forgotten.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Oh my God, Buffy! You look amazing. Nice tan! "

"Thanks, Will."

Both girls embraced. Buffy and Angel got out of their gate to find their families and friends. To the one passing by, it would seem they were away longer than just two weeks because of the amount of people waiting for them.

"Buffy, my dear. You look amazing."

"Thanks, Mary."

"So tell where did Angel take you for your honeymoon?"

Willow was the one to ask.

"Hawaii."

Buffy suddenly realized Cordelia was not there.

"Humm… Will, where is Cordy?"

"She couldn't come."

"Is everything all right with the babies?"

"Yes. She just spotted a little and the doctor told her to stay-at-home and relax. She did everything to come, pouted and all that, but Doyle was irreducible about her leaving the bed for more than going to the bathroom. The babies are coming any time now."

The men were shaking hands far from the group of woman.

"I hope everything worked up for you two."

"Thanks, Sean. Your tip helped a lot. I can say I am the luckiest man on earth. "

Angel talked to his sisters when they came back from granting Buffy and realized his mother was not with them.

"Dad, where is mom?"

"Your mother got a cold so she stayed at home. Don't worry. It is nothing serious. She asked me to tell you she stocked your house with food for some days. She also has a list of houses you and Buffy might want to see when you get time."

"Thanks."

Angel was still chatting away when he felt a pair of arms circling his waist. He turned around and embraced Buffy.

"Do you want to go?"

Buffy shook her head yes. After the final goodbyes, the couple and friends got out of the airport. Sean would drive Angel and Buffy to Angel's house.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Unknown to the couple and their friends, a man dressed in black was following the familiar scene. Spike never saw Buffy with a tan and thought she looked even more beautiful.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The next mouth since they came back from their honeymoon was pretty much a blur. Angel and Buffy went back to their jobs. They had gone house hunting, but didn't find anything they would like. So, they stayed at Angel's. Buffy gave up her apartment just before their marriage. They had some family dinner to attend, but what they really liked was to stay-at-home basking in each other arms.

That day, Angel had a bad day because the wedding ceremony he was preparing was called off by the bride and nobody knew why. He loved his job and he always got sad when, for whatever reason, a ceremony didn't go through. Being the happy man he was and knowing he was sure he wanted to marry Buffy when he proposed, he couldn't understand why people would be sure to marry a certain person and then unsure of what they wanted. Accept a proposal and then call it off was always weird for him. He felt like love was just a game for these people.

He opened the door to his house to find the main room lit up only with candles. He smiled. They had been preparing little surprises for each other now and then. He asked himself what his wife had prepared for him and chuckled.

Angel walked to the main room of his house, but didn't find anything. He then went to check every one of the other three rooms and bathrooms. When he arrived back at the living room, he went to check the kitchen. He opened the door… and his mouth.

Buffy was laying over their new table on one side looking at him… completely naked.

"I decided to test it. This one can take my weight…"

She threw her legs from the table and sat on it with her legs separated to give Angel a really good view of his favorite place.

"… do you want to see if it can hold both of us?"

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"So, what do you think?"

Angel was waiting his wife in the bedroom of their house, which ended being Angel's house after Buffy coming clean she didn't want to move out because she really liked his place. When she finally emerged from their room, from which he was banned one hour before so they could not engage in yet another hot shower and Buffy could get ready, Angel's mouth almost hit the floor. Buffy was wearing chiffon floor-length green dress with one strap and a sweetheart design. The bodice was decorated with pleated embellishment while the strap with rhinestone. Her makeup accentuated even more her beautiful hazel eyes. When she walked towards Angel he realized the dress was split showing her right leg.

Angel swallowed loudly and realized he really really really did not want to go to Sean's part.

"Hey..Angel…"

"Hun?"

Buffy laughed.

"A year and a half into marriage and you are still the salivating boy."

She held Angel's head and pulled his head down for a long kiss. He finally recovered enough to talk. He grabbed her behind and looked at her eyes.

"Do we really have to go?"

"Angel!"

"I don't think I can go out… or leave you go out."

Buffy laughed again.

"Down boy! We go. We dance. We talk to people. Then…"

"Then…"

"Then, we can come home…"

"Come home is good."

Angel smiled and offered his arm to Buffy who took it. The happy couple was in for a great night.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The club was full of people for their annual meeting of the members. The more important people in the community were usually awarded during the meeting for their social work. This year Sean was the one to be awarded for his help funding several orphanage in the city.

When Buffy and Angel found Willow and Cordelia, he found himself amid giggling girls. He looked at Doyle and Oz and rolled his eyes.

"Oh my. Cordy and Will you look awesome."

"Thanks, Buffy. You look fabulous yourself."

The girls hugged and Cordelia turned to Angel.

"Oh, Angel. Your family arrived and they are in the family table in the front."

"Thanks, Willow."

Angel kissed Buffy cheek and gave the girls privacy.

"So, Cordy. Brian and Breandan are the cuttest kids."

Cordy turned around to look at her family table. Doyle had Brian on his leg, while Breandan was on the floor, pulling at Mary's dress to go somewhere she thought. Cordelia smiled.

"Yeah. They are. When will we know of you going pregs?"

"I don't know. Angel has been talking about it."

Buffy looked around and saw the party was in its peak. People were talking animatedly and she could see several people she knew. Darla, Harmony and their brunette Faith, sat in a table and were surrounded by men. Lindsey and a brunette came to talk to Angel. The man shook hands.

"Angel, my man! Running a little late huh?"

Angel gave a small smile.

"Yeah. A had a car trouble."

"Car trouble? Yeah... I didn't know that Buffy changed her name. Anyway, this is Vivienne. She sells real estate."

"Hi."

"Hi. Nice to meet you two. Lindsey has talked about you."

"He talks about us?"

Buffy and Angel exchanged a look. Vivienne was beautiful, but not the kind of woman Lindsey would get involved. She seemed to have a mind of her own. She worked. Lindsey seemed to prefer the bimbos. Was Angel going to have a new ceremony for a friend?

"Yeah. Why?"

"Oh, nothing? I hope he doesn't bad-mouth us."

"Oh, no. I can say he likes you very much."

Seeing their eyes over him, Lindsey decided to leave.

"Come on, sweetheart. I like this music."

Buffy gave a small smile and looked at Angel. Cordelia and Willow were already dancing.

"Sweetheart?"

He shrugged.

"I've never seen him treating any girl like this. Come on. I do like this music too."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

William sat in his room. He had seen his Buffy today. She was beautiful. He had seen her kiss that poof and hated it. But after tonight… no more.

Today was a perfect day and he knew his plan was perfect. The part was going on and nobody would see when he and Buffy leave. Nobody would even remember him because he stayed away for so long. Nobody knew of his house. He would stay there until Buffy realized she was the love of his life and they could leave the country for good. He thought England was a good place to stay. However, before he left for good to finally reclaim his love he had to have a final talk with his father.

Ethan sat in his office at home working in some new project for his company. He was so engrossed in his papers he didn't see his son standing at the door.

"Father."

"Oh, William."

He answered his son, but didn't look at him.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

He still didn't look up.

"Why did you separate us?"

Ethan finally took his eyes of the papers he was reading to see his son at the door… holding a gun.

"William, what… what are doing?"

"You… you sent me to that place. I was there, while my… my Buffy was here outside with Captain Forehead. She is mine… I… I lost so much time."

"Willaim, put…put that gun down son. What is causing this? Did you not take your medicines?"

"MEDICINES! You think that… that… MY LOVE FOR BUFFY IS A DISEASE? I love her. She belongs with me! I HATE YOU FOR SEPARATING US!"

He pulled the trigger.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

AN: Yeah. Spike was just faking everything waiting for the right time to act. Wow! He did resented his father, huh?

This chapter was huge. So, I ended splitting it in two. The next one is coming up tomorrow. Yep… we know have three instead of two final chapters.

Tell me what you think.
