AUTHOR'S NOTES2: Okie, these are the ones that explain the timeline, so you may want to read it to understand. Buffy visited Angel in Los Angeles on November 23rd.

//I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what\\
"Angel, look." Buffy said as they entered their hotel room. "It's beautiful."
"I closed the windows like you asked," the bellboy said proudly.
"Thank you," Angel gave him a generous tip. "Mahallo."
"Mahallo," he said back, bowed, and left.
"Come'ere!" Buffy threw her arms around Angel and kissed him passionately, running her hands though his hair, down his back to his tight ass. She squeezed it and then pulled away, looking at him breathlessly. "Is the door locked?"
"Uh-huh."
"Double check. Deadbolt it and put the Do Not Disturb sign on the door."
"Anxious?" he asked, laughing a little.
"I'm hornier than Hell," she muttered. "I'll be right back." She ran into the bathroom and when she came out, Angel was waiting for her, still dressed in his shirt and pants.
She loved the way his mouth formed a little O whenever he saw her in sexy clothing. She smiled. Guess I picked out the right outfit, she thought.
It had taken two hours in Victoria's Secret to pick out the perfect nightgown, made of a lightweight lace fabric that clung to her breasts and fell just barely to her thighs. She wore a matching robe over it that was completely sheer and white high heels with fake fur on the toes.
"Hi," she said, walking over to him.
"I was, uh, just, uh, thinking...."
She took the cable guide out of his hand and tossed it away. "We can watch a porn movie anyday. Well, actually we can't, but you know."
He smiled at her. "You look beautiful."
"You should've worn the leather pants," she commented, smirking. "Still, we'll make do."
"Make do?" he asked, staring at her.
"Yeah," she pushed him down on the bed and then climbed on top of him. "We've only got three days here, Angel. Let's not waste it."
She kissed him harshly, pressing her body against his and wanting to feel his skin against hers so bad she could've ripped his clothes off.
He rolled them over so that he was on top and smiled at her, making Buffy groan. She *knew* he was gonna make her wait and that just infuriated her.
It also succeeded in turning her on though, so maybe he had the right idea.
As they kissed, Buffy unbuttoned his shirt and tried to yank it off of him. They sat up so she could pull it off and while he had her in the right place, he slid her robe off, kissing down her neck to her shoulder as he did it.
She pushed the silk aside and lifted her arms up to help Angel remove the lacy chemise from her body. She shook her hair loose over her shoulders and then smiled at him seductively.
He dove at her, kissing her madly and running his hands all over her smooth body. Buffy responded by wrapping her legs loosely around his and running her hands up and down his back.
Angel's lips lavished Buffy's skin, sucking ever so slightly on her neck. She wanted desperately for him to drink from her again, to feel the way she had the night before graduation, as though her life was becoming his and vice versa, but she didn't dare ask. There were some things she couldn't tell anyone, not even Angel, and that was one of them.
She shivered when he ran his tongue over the ridges of her scar, wishing he would bite her just a tiny bit. She brought his beautiful face back up to hers, looking deep into his dark eyes for a minute before kissing him tenderly, watching the way his eyes fluttered as they kissed. She pulled away almost laughing. He looked at her blankly. "What?"
"You. You're so cute," she commented.
"How?" he questioned.
"It's just....when you're kissing me, the way your eyes move, they do this sort of fluttering thing. It's adorable."
"Now let me watch you."
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, but as soon as their lips met, she opened them.
"Sorry," she smiled. "Natural reaction."
He kissed her deeply, catching her off guard, and she arched her hips, rubbing her heated body against his. Angel groaned and broke the kiss, sliding his lips down her body, brushing them against her fevered skin. He paused slightly to swirl his tongue over her skin, tasting her navel.
Buffy tried to remember to breathe as Angel's cold tongue inched closer and closer to her hot spot. Her body was on fire with need. He was going achingly slow, causing her body to tremble with anticipation. She moaned at the very first touch of his velvet tongue to her clit, and when he slid it between her moist folds, she almost died.
"Oooooooh, Angel," she stretched her hands down to guide his head, to push his tongue deeper.
Buffy was sure she was going to die when Angel began sucking her swollen clitoris between his lips. She squeezed her thighs together tightly, holding his head there, and tangled her hands in the bed sheets for leverage as she climaxed.
Angel came back up beside her and kissed her, feeling her heartbeat return to normal and her breathing slow.
"I love you," she said as she touched his cheeks, his lips, his eyelids.
"I love you too."
"Make love to me," she whispered. He kissed her passionately, letting his desire speak for him. Angel's fiery gaze locked with Buffy's as he entwined his fingers, body and soul with hers. Buffy wrapped her legs around his waist and sighed contentedly as he slid his cool cock inside of her, not only filling her completely, but completing her fully.
She kissed him, savoring the moment, holding their bodies still for as long as she could, loving the feel of him inside her, making both of them complete.
"Buffy," he grunted and she let up a little, giggling. He began moving with slow, steady thrusts, kissing Buffy's lips and neck the whole time.
She drug her hands up and down Angel's strong back, raking her nails over his satin skin. She tightened her knees on his hips and pushed her body upwards to meet his.
Angel took one of Buffy's nipples into his mouth and began sucking on it, rolling it around his mouth and against his tongue. Buffy moaned happily, feeling herself growing closer and closer to the point of orgasm.
Angel felt his body responding and tensing, sliding one of his hands between their slick bodies to her swelled clitoris. He began rolling it around with his thumb and forefinger. He released her breast from his mouth to kiss her as they both climbed higher and higher until they crashed together with such intensity, their whole bodies convulsed in ecstasy.
Panting, Buffy held Angel close and kissed his shoulder, resting her chin there for a minute, not wanting him to leave her.
When he finally rolled off of her, she moaned but slid her relaxed body over his and laid with her chin on his chest, looking into his eyes. They smiled at each other and he pulled the bedspread over them as she laid her head over his undead heart. They fell asleep together, pleasantly numb.

***Nine months later***
"Come on, Ashley," Willow lifted her out of her carseat and closed the door to Buffy's minivan. "We've got to get inside and see your mommy."
"Why?" she asked, holding her Freckles Beanie Baby and making it dance around in the air.
"Well, because your mom and dad wanna see you and they want you to meet your new baby brother."
"Why?" she asked again.
Xander, who was carrying the baby bag and a suitcase of Buffy's things that Angel had asked him to bring sighed. "Isn't she too talkative for someone her age?"
"Yes," Willow laughed. "Blame it on her highly advanced genetic makeup."
Xander just shrugged and followed her up to the maternity ward.

"Hi, baby!" Buffy reached for Ashley as soon as Willow brought her in the room. "Come'ere, there's someone I want you to meet."
"No!" Ashley buried her face in Buffy's chest as soon as Willow handed her over and wouldn't look up at anyone.
"Ashley," Angel said softly. "Don't you wanna meet your little brother?"
"No!" she shouted loudly in Buffy's ear.
Angel looked at Buffy. "What's the problem?" he asked.
"Jealousy," Buffy smirked. "She'll come around."
"He's beautiful, Buffy," Willow touched the cheek of the sleeping baby in Angel's arms. "What did you name him?"
"I still think Alexander is a good choice," Xander teased.
"Maybe next time," Angel said. "We wanted to name him after Giles, 'cause he's been so great about everything."
"You named him Giles O'Connelly?" Xander asked.
Buffy laughed. "We named him Rupert Christopher and we're going to call him Chris."
"I like it, I like it." Xander said. "But the next one--"
"What, do you guys think I'm just gonna have a million babies?" Buffy asked.
"The way you two get it on?" Xander asked.
"Willow, say something!" Buffy said.
"He has a point," Willow allowed, but she was blushing.
"I think that, for now, two children is perfect." Angel said.
"Well, we just wanted to bring Ashley over. I'll pick her up later tonight, okay, Buffy?"
"Sure. Bye guys, and thanks."
"Congratulations," Xander said as they left.
"Well," Angel set Chris in his tiny bed and sat down beside Buffy. "I think we'll work everything out. Even the sibling war we have brewing here."
Buffy nodded. "I think after everything we've faced we can get through just about anything."
"I would have to agree." Angel leaned over and gave her a kiss. Pulling away, he asked, "So how long did the doctor say we'd have to wait again?"
"Angel!"
He held his hands up innocently. "I'm just asking."
