Part Five,
Liam was lying in his bed; he hadn't been able to get asleep the night before. As he was seriously thinking about asking Gaynor to marry him, but he needed advice, as it was usual to propose to someone who you have only known for 6 months.
He climbed out of bed and slowly got dress he needed to clear his head, so he decided he would take a walk over the hills.
He made his way down the stairs and was surprised to see that the fire was on in the living room, as it was 6am in the morning. He walked into the room and saw his father sitting in his favourite chair reading a book.
"Father? What are you doing up so early?"
"I would ask you the same, but that would be useless, because I know you have been up all night. So do you want to talk about what's on your mind?"
Liam laughed and made his way over to the other chair. His father always knew when he stayed up and always seem to be able to get him to open up.
"I'm concerning settling down."
"Oh with Gaynor, but you are worried of what people will think about that"
Liam nodded his head waiting to hear what else his father had to say.
"Well if you want my opinion, I say you could not do any worst or better, either way you want to look at it. And I can see how much you love her, how much you both love each other."
"Do you think I should ask her to marry me?"
"Yes boy I do."

Sunnydale April 15th 4am,
"Ha, I got it the time differential. It says for every day in the present is a year for the person sent back in time."
Willow looked up at the clock and noticed that it was 4am in the morning.
"Nearly 12 hours, meaning it's been 6 months for Cordelia. God I don't see the point of going home and sleeping as we will just have to be back here again in a few hours."
"Don't be stupid Willow a few hours of sleep is better than none, and plus there's nothing else we have to research, as Angel said you can't stop is spell." Giles said while rubbing his eyes.
"Yeah but we don't know when she will come back?"
"Yes we do there's one person here who knows how long she's in the past for!" Buffy said while looking at Angel.
"5 days, she will be back in 5 days after the spell was cast." Angel said calmly.
"5 days you're telling us, Cordy was in the past for five years. God I don't know if I could survive that long, as you know, no electricity in your time." Xander said and Angel laughed.
"Yeah, it took her sometime to get use to that to, I don't know how may times I caught her putting her hand on the wall. Like she was trying to turn on a light for the first month, everyone thought she was crazy, I just thought she was fascinating." The others just looked at Angel as he remembers what happen in the past with Cordelia.
"Hey how about some stories Then, I'm sure there's a lot you can tell us about pre-industrial revolution Cordy!"
"Yeah I could, but maybe another night I'm getting tried. And think I may go home."
"God when a vampire gets tried you know it's getting really late." Buffy said with a lot of angry still in her voice.
Galway august 8th 1745,
Liam approached Mrs McKay's door to pick up Gaynor to take her to the summer festival.
"Morning Liam, she waiting for you in the drawing room."
"Morning to you too Mrs McKay's, and thank you." Liam stepped though the door and made his way to the drawing room.
Liam slowly opened the drawing room door and made sure Gaynor couldn't hear him. She was sitting on the rocking chair doing what looked like some embroidery, she then throw the material across the room in a temper.
"I'm never going to get use to this century, god Cordelia there you go again putting yourself down again. Lets just look at the good side of this century, you're with the man you love."
Liam listens carefully to what she was saying, and was confused. She just called herself Cordelia and it sounded like she believed she was from another century. He needed to know what she was talking about.
"Cordelia? Gaynor why did you just call yourself that?" Gaynor froze in the position she was in when she heard Liam's voice. And she was guessing he had heard her entire conversation. She knew she would have to tell him about where she was from, even if he didn't believe her, at least she wouldn't feel like she was continuously lying to him.
Gaynor turned round in her chair and stared straight into his eyes.
"Liam I have to tell you something about me, I know you probably won't believe me. But please keep an open mind?" Liam walked cross the room and sat opposite Gaynor.
"Someone cast a spell on me, like in magic. She cursed me to live a life I'm not use to, and she thought I wouldn't survive. But I have and I really enjoy my time there with you, but I miss home. And one day the spell would have ran its course and I will go back to where I come from."
"But you can stay, really you can, with me." Gaynor took his hands in hers, and looked straight into her eyes.
"You don't understand I wouldn't have any choice because I was brought here by Magic and I will be tore away again by magic. You see I'm from the future." Liam's mouth opened in disbelief, but he couldn't help but love her more.
"I don't care where you're from I only care for as long as you're here you're going to be with me. Gaynor can I ask you a question?" Gaynor nodded choked up from what he had just said about her.
Liam got off the chair and got down on one knee in front of Gaynor. And Gaynor's mind screamed, 'Oh my god, oh my god.'
"Will you marry me?"
"Did I just hear you right, you just asked me to marry you even after what I told you, god anyone else would of freaked out."
"Freaked out?"
"Sorry, Forgot you don't use these kinds of words yet, it means you like jump up and scream all the way home from fear."
"Well that's not me, actually I'm more the opposite then afraid so will I have to wait for your answer for a few days or something like that?" Gaynor smiled, stood up and slowly pulled up Liam with her, and she wrapped her arms around him and spoke in his chest.
"Yes I will marry you." They both slightly parted and kissed.
Later that night,
The bonfire had just been lit and Liam and Gaynor where sitting in front of it, with Gaynor sitting in between his legs leaning her back onto Liam's chest. Liam's mother and father came from behind them and sat down next to them.
"So can I guess by the way you two are sitting and holding each other, that I will have another daughter soon."
"Yes mother."
"Oh that's great news congratulations, Liam and Gaynor." Mrs O'Connor said as they stood up and she gave them both a hug.
"Mother, we like to have to wedding the day Gaynor first came into my life, if that's okay with you two."
"Of course it is Liam we are very happy for you both."
"Your mother's right boy, we are happy for you both." and Liam hugged his father.
"I know you are father."
