Part One

**Carlisle-Summers Home**

"Col, go take your sister and help her get ready. They'll be here in a little while. Anna, are you ready?" Buffy called out from the bathroom. Her wife stepped into the bathroom sporting a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt, she wore a hat for effect. She spun around and smiled as she heard the doorbell. Buffy and Anna rushed downstairs to answer the door. Anna opened the door and smiled.

"Don't tell me you guys want to be groupies. I tried telling you that I don't that anymore." Anna let them and hugged them.

"We want to be the blonde's groupie." Xander said as he stepped inside. Collier came down the stairs and headed for his mother. "Is that little Collier?" Xander asked at the child who

stood by Buffy's side.

"More like a little Xander. If I didn't know better I would say that he is your child Xander." Anna pointed at what she meant as Collier took the ladies hands and kissed them as he introduced himself. "Look at him. Thinking he's a Romeo." Willow looked up to see a smaller child standing on the steps. The child had red hair and held a teddy bear close to her.

"Who is that?" Willow pointed to the child.

"The smaller version of you." Buffy said as she watched Anna walk over there to her. She picked up the child and carried her over to the crowd.

"This here is little Willow Elizabeth. Eliza do you want to say hello?" The little girl shook her head and hid herself in Anna's shoulder.

"She is just like you Willow." Buffy smiled at her friend.

The group ate dinner and headed for the living room. The children went to bed. They discussed what had been happening in their lives.

"I can't believe that he's all grown up." Tara said.

"Neither can I, it seems like yesterday Buffy was cussing me out for getting her pregnant." Anna grabbed Buffy's hand.

"I remember Buffy saying something about having four kids." Tara smiled as she remembered.

"We are living up to it so far. Buffy has decided that I get to have the third one."

"Any luck?"

"Not much, we've been using the spell but it hasn't worked." The phone rang and Anna got up to answer it. She walked into the kitchen to find Dawn and Jack kissing. "If I wanted to see that in my home, I would watch a porno." Anna answered the phone, for a moment she was quiet. Then she smiled and thank the other person and jumped slightly. When she walked back into the living room, the group was deep into conversation. "Buffy honey, can we talk?"

"Just a minute." Buffy went back to her conversation. Anna took a piece of paper and wrote down something. She walked back into the living room and handed the note to Buffy. She sat down and watched Buffy's face as she read the note. Buffy's face lit up and she hugged Anna. Tears rolled down her face as she stood up and looked at her friends. "We're pregnant, she's pregnant." Buffy cried as she hugged her wife once more. "I'm sorry its just that it's taken us a while to get her pregnant."

"Apparently I'm not as easy as I thought." Anna said.

"Mama?" Eliza tugged at Buffy's skirt and rubbed her eyes.

"What is it baby?" Buffy picked up the child.

"Couldn't sleep."

"Poor baby." Anna took the child in her arms.

"Buffy, Buffy wake up. Are you there?" Buffy heard familiar voices calling her. She turned her head and suddenly found herself in a hospital bed with a throbbing pain coming from her head.

Part Two

She tried to sit up, but was softly held back down by Willow's hand. "You need to rest. It's good to see you awake."

"Where am I? What happened? Where is Anna?" Buffy asked. Every time she spoke, pain shot throughout her whole body.

"Who is Anna?" Giles asked as she came by the slayer's side.

"Buffy you were in an accident. You've been in a coma for a few months now." Xander said.

"What kind of accident?"

"A car wreck. You were driving out one night and other car hit you." Willow smiled down at her.

"I hear that you have decided to come back with us." A female doctor said as she entered the room smiling. She had brown hair that came down to her shoulders with green eyes that stood out against her white lab coat. "Welcome back, I've been your doctor for the past few months. I'm Doctor Annie Anderson." The doctor checked over Buffy's chart, and then over Buffy. She seemed satisfied with the results and went towards the door. "I'm going to order a few test just to make sure that you are alright and then we'll talk about sending you home." The doctor left.

"We have to leave." Willow said unhappily. "But we will come by and see you first thing in the morning."

They said their goodbyes and left Buffy to rest. A moment or two after the gang had left, the doctor came back in. She shut the door behind her and pulled up a seat next to the bed.

"Good to see you again. How are you feeling?"

"I still don't understand what is going on." Buffy answered as she grabbed her head.

"How is your vision? Are you seeing clearly or is it blurry?"

"I see clearly." The doctor handed her the chart and showed her where to start reading.

"That is your accident report as told by the guy who hit you."

"And you've been my doctor this whole time?"

"Yep, from the moment you came in on a gurney with blood and all sorts of other nasty things going on." Buffy smiled and looked at the doctor's signature. It said: Annie Natasha Nola Anderson. The first letters of her name spelled "Anna," Buffy looked confusingly at both the paper and the doctor.

"Do you remember me from somewhere?" The doctor asked, smiling.

"Your name just sounds..."

"Like Anna Carlisle?" This time Buffy was really confused. "What was I supposed to do, let you lay there like a vegetable? I had to keep your mind occupied while you recovered. You didn't seem to have a problem with it."

"I'm not sure that I understand."

"Where you falling in love with Anna?" Annie asked.

"I was, I am in love with Anna. And I want to know what the hell is going on around here!"

"I'm sorry. I should explain myself."

"Damn right you should!"

"I am a doctor but I am also a white wing. You came in here hurt and in pain, so I fixed you using both my powers and my medical knowledge. I found a way to keep your mind busy while your body recovered. If you were to wake up too soon, it could have had a negative effect of your recovery. So I did the only thing that I could think off. It made both of us happy but I guess that now it was a bad idea. The elders clued me in on parts of your life so I took it to my advantage. I used myself as the love interest because I know my every move. It's harder to make up somebody completely new. I'm so sorry that I upset you. You'll be leaving in a few days, then you can walk out and forget all about me." Annie got up and headed for the door.

"I still love you." Annie turned around to Buffy smiling. "I fell in love with the person inside, not the name. So if you are the same as Anna, then I still want us to have a life...together."

"You mean that?" Annie said as she made her way back to the bed. Buffy reached and grabbed Annie's hand within hers. Buffy began singing parts of song that had been sung by Anna.

I've tried to fight it but what can I do

There's something deeper that surrenders to you

When I touch you, when I hear you

How can I doubt when every time I'm near you

Annie reached into her pocket and pulled out a box. She opened it to reveal the same ring that Anna had given to her before. "So I ask you the way I wanted to the first time. Well sort of like the first time." Annie laughed as she looked around the room. It wasn't the most romantic place in the world but it wasn't the worst either. Annie got down on one knee and took Buffy's hand in hers and held the ring the other hand. "Buffy Summers, will you marry me...again?" Buffy nodded her head yes and slipped the ring on. It felt good to have the ring on again, she had missed it. She had missed Anna...Annie.

Part Three

The next few days, Annie and Buffy tried to explain to the others want had happened. After waiting so long, Buffy was finally released into Annie's care. Annie took Buffy back to the home she remembered, their home. Buffy looked over the house with remembrance of everything that had been. She tried to remember how the house looked when they were all there. She looked in the nursery and saw Collier's bed and then Eliza's bed. She found another room that had became Collier's room when Eliza had been born. She finally found her favorite room the whole entire house, the bedroom. It looked the same as it had before, just with less things. It was missing the pictures and books that Buffy had brought into the home.

"You made this so much better to live in. There were days that I would come home and be disgusted by this house just because you weren't in it. In the other world, I hated to leave anything, especially you." Annie wrapped her arms around Buffy and laid her head on Buffy's shoulder as they both looked over the dull room.

"I'll fix everything back the way it was." Buffy stated as matter-of-factly.

"I hope that you do." Annie kissed her shoulder and squeezed lightly.

Buffy felt no need to rush into another wedding. In her heart, she was still married to the woman of her dreams.

The group had once again accept Annie into the group. It was easier to win over Willow this time, seeing as how she wasn't jealous she and Annie became friends quickly. On some level, it was weird to see Buffy with another girl. Although everyone thought that something was going on with Buffy and Faith. As the days progressed on, Annie and Buffy became more physical in public. The once shy couple had turned into a care free relationship. Buffy was no longer ashamed to hold onto to Annie or kiss her. Even at the Bronze the couple was constantly touching.

The gang had decided to take the night off and have some fun. The group headed for the Bronze and ordered some drinks. Everyone watched as Buffy and Annie sat down on the couch and watched as Annie slid her hand up Buffy's thigh while she whispered something to her. Buffy smiled to herself and whispered something back. Everyone was starting to get physically sick at watching them together.

"So when are you going to set a date for the wedding?" Xander asked as he handed Annie and Buffy their drinks.

"I'm not all that sure yet. But I am sure that I can't wait to be Mrs. Doctor Anderson." Buffy smiled happily and snuggled up to Annie.

*************

Annie and Buffy got married within a couple of months. Two years to the date of their wedding, Buffy gave birth to her first child.

THE END.
