Unseen Angel
*~*~*~*~*
Two years later, everyone was at the Magic Box. Xander and Faith had been married for six months. Buffy, Dawn, and Giles (although still in England) owned the shop. Sort of a family business. Willow and Tara were back together and talking about adopting a child.
Oz had been buried where Buffy had previously been laid to rest. His tombstone simply said:
Daniel "Oz" Osburne
1980 - 2002
Between guitars and wolves,
He managed to protect the
World.
Only the Scoobies, new and old, showed up for the ceremony. To this day, Willow still visits his grave with a rose once a week.
Anya disappeared that dark night. She packed a few things of importance and left. They got a letter from her a few weeks later, giving the shop back to Giles. He, in turn, gave Anya's ownership to Buffy. Allowing her to quit her job at the DMP.
'And through all this, she has managed to get here.' Giles thought as he drove the familiar streets. 'The happiest night of her life.' He stopped the car and got out.
When the familiar jingle of the door got Buffy's attention, all she could do was wonder who is was. Everyone was already there.
"Giles." Buffy spoke first.
"I'm not late am I?"
"Nope, just on time."
"Alright people, lets get this show on the road." Faith announced as she walked in the room.
They made their way to the door of the training room. Buffy stopped and turned to him.
"I love you, Giles. You were the best father anyone could ever have."
"And I love you, for being the best daughter anyone could ever have."
She leaned up and gave him a hug. Then turned away and they continued into the next room.
There were few people there. Angel, Cordy, and Connor were up front. Gunn and Fred were off to the side. Wesley and Tara were sitting behind Spike. To one side of the minister there was Dawn, Willow, and Faith. On the other was Spike and his best man, Xander. 'Who would've guessed they would actually become friends,' Buffy thought.
Buffy took Giles' arm and they walked down the aisle towards Spike. When they reached him, Giles kissed her cheek and sat next to Connor. Everything was a blur from that point until they said those two undenying words of love, "I do."
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." Spike kissed her, and they turned towards their friends. "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. and Mrs. William Summers."
Everyone clapped and smiled. Giving the congratulations. The chairs were moved aside and Dawn went to retrieve her stereo. Spike gave a small nod and music began to play. Buffy looked at Spike. He held out his hand and they began to dance.
"You didn't have to do this."
"Yes, I did. You're the one who wanted it. Remember?"
"That was almost five years ago. I -"
"Shh. Luv, we aren't getting into a fight. We've only been married an hour."
Buffy was silent, but snuggled closer as they danced.
Across from them, Xander was dancing with his wife.
"I love you." He said.
"And I love you. Xan, there's something I gotta tell you." Faith said.
"And what is that?"
She leaned close and whispered, "We're going to have a baby."
He was stunned. 'Baby, me, dad.' He thought. Then he leaned down and kissed her.
"When?"
"About seven months."
"Okay."
He pulled her close and they danced.
After a couple songs, everyone gathered around in a group for a picture and a final toast before the newly weds left. As they moved together, Buffy pulled Xander aside.
"Congratulations, Daddy." She whispered.
"You know?"
"Do you really think she'd keep that from me?"
"Well, no."
"Tell everyone. It'd give ya'll something to talk about while we're gone."
He nodded and they stood in their spots. Giles started the camera and then stood next to Dawn. The camera flashed and everyone moved apart. But before Spike could drag Buffy out, Xander cleared his throat.
"Guys, there's something Faith and I need to tell you. It might not really be a good time, but Buffy said to do it." He moved over to his wife and put an arm over her shoulders. "We're gonna have a baby."
Spike was the first to talk, "Congratulations whelp. Never thought I'd see the day." They shook hands.
Willow hugged Xander. Dawn, Cordy, and Fred all hugged Faith. Giles, Angel, Wes, and Gunn shook Xander's hand. After about five minutes, Dawn looked around the room.
"Where's Buffy? And Spike?" she wondered aloud.
Everyone looked around and saw that the newly weds must have slipped out while they were talking. Tara and Willow said their good byes and offered to walk Dawn home. She accepted, hugged Xander and Faith, and then left. Angel, Cordy, Connr, Wes, Gunn, and Fred left shortly after.
The three left stood in silence. Finally, Faith asked the question the had been haunting both her and Xander's thoughts.
"Giles, has a slayer ever had a child before?"
"Not that I know of. Why?"
"Well, could she -"
"He." Xander interrupted, but Faith glared at him.
"What if they're different?"
"The only thing to do is wait and see. I hate to say it, but that's all there is to say. I should get going. Lock up?"
"Sure thing." Xander said as Giles left.
He turned to Faith and saw the look on her face.
"What if they take her away?" she asked weakly.
He knew all to well who she was referring to. "Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to either of you."
He took her in his arms and felt her tremble. As Xander rubbed Faith's back, he felt his shirt dampen. In all the years he's known her, and with everything she's been through, this is only the second time he's seen her cry. 'Nothing will happen to you or our baby, I promise with my heart and soul.'
They stood like that for awhile, neither knowing what the futrure was bringing. Some may say nothing bad, but than again this is Sunnydale. The mouth of hell.
