[pic]             "The Honeymoons Over"

Buffy and Angel had been gone in Hawaii for about 2 weeks now. No honeymoon was long enough for them. No one seemed to mind them taking that much time off they knew they both deserved it. When Buffy and Angel were greeted by the Scooby Gang at the airport everyone glad to have the slayer and her very strong husband back.

"Wow Buffster Hawaii had a good effect on you… your beautiful," Xander said grabbing the bags from Buffy's hand. He was right Buffy's hair had gotten blonder and she was a lot tanner. She was wearing a pink tank top and kaki caprees she did look amazing.

"Quit drooling you don't want Buffy to slip," Cordy said hitting Xander bringing him back from his Buffy dream world

"Thanks," Buffy said grabbing Angel's hand

"I mean Buffy you are always beautiful but…wow," Xander said still in awe of the beautifulness of Buffy

"Okay at first is was sweet but no it's kinda getting weird." Buffy joked

"Remember Buffy's a married woman," Willow reminded her friend

"How was it," Willow asked pulling Buffy away from Angel.

"Great," Buffy was looking over at Angel and giving him one of those half smiles.

"I missed you Buffy, it's good to have you back….both of you back," Willow hugged her friend

"Thanks Will," Buffy said ending the hug, "Where's Giles by the way."

The gang looked at each other, "Hmm don't know you got me," Willow said nervously

"Okay Will you suck at lying," Buffy joked

Buffy and Angel and the rest of the gang pulled up to the mansion where Buffy and Angel lived. Each one of them grabbed a bag and carried it in.

"Hmm I wonder why it's so dark in here," Buffy said turning on the lights

"SURPRISE," Joyce and Giles yelled as they jumped out from behind the couch

"Hey you guys," Buffy walked over to her mother and watcher and gave them each hugs.

"Welcome home Buffy," Giles said he was so glad to see her again

"Thanks, man I am hungry… you did get cake right," Buffy asked searching the room

"Yes, the cakes in the kitchen," Joyce motioned with her head towards the kitchen

Buffy walked into the kitchen and brought back in the cake.

"Okay so we have cake and cute lil' party hats…. We need music," Buffy walked over to the TV, which also had a radio built into it. She pushed a button and turned up the volume. Buffy went over to Angel and asked him to dance, which got everyone else started. Before long even Giles and Joyce were getting their groove on.

Buffy and Angel were on clean up duty after everyone left.

"Man just the way I wanted to spend our first night back," Buffy said throwing paper plates into a trash bag

"Sorry Buffy," Angel said putting down his trash bag and walking over to his wife. He bent down and picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

"Is this better," He asked laying her down on the bed

"Alittle," she teased

"Hmm well how about this," he took off his shirt

"Getting better," she laid back and he crawled on top of her, "A lot better." Buffy pulled Angel face down to her and kissed him softly. Their kiss grew more and more passionate.

"Wow," she said ending the kiss

"Hmm," he asked kissing her neck

"We're married," she said pulling his face so she could see him

"I know… it's great," he started kissing her cheeks then her forehead. Buffy giggled loving the idea that Angel was her husband.

Angel walked into the kitchen where Buffy was making him breakfast and once again she as wearing his shirt. Angel sat down at the table and Buffy brought him over a plate with pancakes on it. Buffy went back to the stove and got herself a plate and took it over to the table and sat down across from Angel.

"What are your plans today," he asked taking a bite from the first pancake

"Giles wants be to go to the library and do catch-up," she said smiling, "wanna come with."

"Well I think I'm gonna go back to work, you know maybe save some sick days well for when I'm sick," he said. Angel got a job as a P.I. it was good pay and a job that Angel loved. He got to help all kinds of people and not with just demon problems these were normal problems.

"Sure that sounds like a plan to me," She got up and took her plate to the sink, "I'm gonna go get ready." Angel got up behind her and did the same.

Buffy and Angel walked out of the house and go into the car. Angel was going to drop Buffy off at the school and then go to work. They were normal for once. When they got to the school Buffy opened the door and grabbed her back out of the back seat.

"Bye Angel," she said leaning in for a kiss

"Bye sweetheart, have a good day," Angel kissed Buffy and she shut the door and they waved one last time as he drove away. She watched him until she couldn't see him anymore. He watched her threw the rear-view mirror until she was totally out of sight. This was their first time apart since the wedding and it was hard on them both.

Buffy walked into her old highschool and straight to the library she wanted this day to go by fast. She opened the doors and was greeted by Willow and Oz. Giles was in his office.

"Hey Buffy," Willow stopped playing with Oz's hands and turned in her chair to see her friend.

"Hey Will, Hey Oz," she said back not with a lot of enthusiasm in her voice

"Is something wrong," Willow asked concerned

"No it's just the 1st day Angel and me have been apart in over 2 weeks." Buffy said the words almost bringing tears to her eyes. She didn't know why she was so upset about I mean she had loved Angel and had to live without him when he was evil and then when he was in hell and that was much longer than a couple hours. Giles walked out of his office.

"Hmm Buffy just the slayer I was looking for…. It seems we have a bit of a problem," Giles seemed very grim and serious

"We ran outa donuts," Buffy asked trying to lighten the mood, "mmm donuts…. Do we have any?"

"Buffy I think its more serious than food… would you pay attention," Giles snapped

"Sorry," she said feeling bad at her stupid joke. Where was Xander when you need him.

"There's a group of demon's that are set on opening the Hell Mouth again," Giles said handing a book to Buffy with a picture of the demons. They were blue and very big. They had huge muscles and very big, sharp swords.

"Wow…. Big," Buffy said handing the book to Willow

"They look tough," Willow passed the book to Oz

"When are they gonna do this," Buffy asked impatiently

"Soon, the stars are aliened this Friday," Giles said shutting the book and sitting it on the table

"Hmm great," Buffy said sitting on the table, "Just great…. I'm back less than a day and I'm already saving the world."

"Sorry Buffy," Willow walked over to her friend and wrapped her arm around her

"It's okay I mean hey that's what I'm here for to save everyone's life and not get any credit for it," Buffy said harshly

"I could start to give you cookies," Oz said lightening the mood. Willow turned around and shook her head, he took the hint, no more jokes.

Angel walked into the library where Buffy was kicking a padded glove on Giles hand. Angel sat down at the table and waited for Buffy to finish up. She didn't even seem to notice that he had come in. Buffy seemed to be getting angry at she kicked Giles really hard.

"Alright that's enough," he said holding his hand

"Sorry Giles," she said walking over to where Angel was sitting

"You ready,' Angel asked

"Yep," Buffy grabbed her bag and headed for the door with Angel's arm around her. They walked out to the car and Angel opened the door for her. She got in and he walked over to his side.

"How come I never get to drive," Buffy asked

"Sorry, do you want to drive," Angel asked getting ready to get out

"No not know," Buffy said meanly

"Sorry you can drive next time if you want to," Angel bent over and kissed his wife on the cheek, "That was so pretty intense training in there Buffy what was going on."

"Ohh yeah forgot to tell you once again I have to save the world…. Some Big Bad demon group is trying to open the Hell Mouth again. And I do mean BIG and BAD." Buffy said angrily

"I see," Angel said not wanting to aggregate her anymore. They drove home in silence.

They pulled up to the house and Angel ran to Buffy's side of the car and opened the door for her. They walked inside Angel didn't dare touch her still thinking she was in a bad mood. They went and sat down on the couch. They sat there for about a minute.

"What would you like to have for supper," Buffy asked sweetly

"I can make supper Buffy," he said thinking it was a trap

"No don't be silly," Buffy got up and went to the kitchen, Angel followed.

"Buffy, you feeling okay," he asked cautiously

"Peachy, why," Buffy asked , "Did I do something wrong."

"No no…. You did nothing wrong," he said looking at his wife who was getting food out of the fridge

"Why don't you go into the living room and watch some TV it'll be awhile before supper is ready," She said shutting the door to the fridge. Angel did as he was told. He went into the living room and sat down on the couch and turned on the TV to Buffy's favorite show.

"Angel…. Supper's ready," she yelled from the kitchen. Angel walked into the kitchen and saw a candlelight dinner. It looked beautiful and delicious too. Angel sat down and Buffy sat down across from him.

"I hope you like it," she said giving him the signal that he could start eating. Angel took the first bite.

"Wow Buffy this is great," he said starting to eat more and more of it. He noticed Buffy wasn't really eating that much, "Do you not like it?"

"Oh no I snacked while I was making it…. Big no no," she teased. Angel finished his food and he helped Buffy clean up alittle. After they got down cleaning they turned off the TV and went into their bedroom. Buffy went into the bathroom and came out in her PJ's. Angel stripped down until he was in just his boxer shorts. Him and Buffy crawled into bed. Angel moved over to Buffy's side of the bed and kissed her on the forehead but she pushed him off.

"Not now Angel," she said turning off the lamp on the nightstand on her side of the bed.

"Sorry Buffy I was just…" he leaned over and turned off the light on his nightstand. A few minutes later her heard Buffy whisper…

"Angel hold me,"

"But you just said," he was totally confused now

"I don't care what I just said hold me please,' she begged. Angel was worried her voice was very full of fear. He moved over to her and wrapped his arms around her. She fell asleep real fast.

Angel woke up alone. He figured Buffy was making him breakfast but when we went into the kitchen she wasn't there. He searched the house but couldn't find her.

"Buffy," he yelled, but no answer. He walked to the front door and opened it the car was gone. She must have gone to the store. He thought to himself. He sat on the couch and waited for Buffy. It was an hour before Buffy came back. She was carrying a brown paper sack.

"Buffy," He said hugging her

"Hey hunny, what's wrong?" she asked

"Where'd you go, " he asked moving away from her hug

She reached into the bag and pulled out a carton of milk, "All out."

"It took you an hour to get milk," he asked

"Yep," she said simply

She walked into the kitchen and sat the milk in the fridge. She looked down at her watch.

"Hunny your gonna be late," she said sweetly

"Alright are you ready," he asked grabbing his jacket

"Yep my bags already in the car sweetie," she started walking towards the door

Angel opened the door for her and locked it.

"You wanna drive," he asked dangling the keys in the air

"Nope that's alright," she said climbing into the car

Angel opened the door and climbed in. He started the car and drove out into the street.

It was Thursday night Buffy and Angel were sharpening weapons with Giles, Cordy, Xander, Willow, and Oz around the fireplace at their house. None of them were ready for tomorrow night. Everyone was nervous and scared.

"I'm sick of this we should attack them tonight," Buffy said standing up and raising her sword

"Buffy sit down," Angel demanded

"Don't tell me what to do," Buffy yelled at Angel

"What's your deal lately Buffy one minute your all Hold me Angel and then the next your yelling at me," Angel said as nicely as he could trying to keep control.

"You want to know what's wrong with me," she said breaking down into tears, "well I didn't want to tell you this way but… I'm pregnant!" Buffy fell to the ground crying. Angel ran over to her and held her everyone else just sat there shocked at the news that had just been laid on them.

"Why are you crying about that," Willow finally asked , "Isn't that a good thing."

"Yeah it is but I…" Buffy stopped, "Angel can we talk alone please."

"Yeah," he stood up and took her hand and led her to their bedroom, "Why didn't you tell me Buffy?"

"I was scared," she said crying

"Scared… scared of what," he asked sitting on the bed

"That you'd be mad at me," she said sitting next to him

"Why would I be mad? I'm couldn't be more happy," she said pulling her chin up so she'd look at him

"I thought you'd be mad cuz we just got married I mean we haven't got to go all the married people things," she said softly

"Buffy knowing that you are carrying my child is the best thing that has ever happened and the baby doesn't come for awhile its okay," he said soothing her

"We better go face the them," she said laughing at the scene she made earlier. Buffy and Angel walked out of the bedroom hand in hand. Willow ran up to her and hugged her best friend so happy for her.

"Buffy I'm so happy for you…. This is great," she said ending the hug

"Yeah I am happy, thanks Will," Buffy walked over to the couch and sat down

"I hate to ruin the whole happy I'm pregnant thing but how is Buffy gonna save the day now?" Cordy asked in the rudest was possible

"Ohh I didn't think about that," Buffy said looking over at Angel almost in tears

"Now I know where the mood swings came from," he joked, "It's okay Buffy we'll work it out I'm still happy." Buffy smiled at how well Angel was dealing with this whole thing he wasn't even mad that she kept it from him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*

Angel and Giles kicked in the door to the old factory where the demons were starting the ritual to open the Hell Mouth.

"Sorry to crash the party but I felt real left out," Angel said taking on the 1st demon that ran at him. Xander and Oz were on the roof with a crossbow and were shooting the demons from above. Willow did a spell that helped the out a lot. When it was all over the Scooby Gang were the champs. Buffy stepped threw the bodies until she got to Angel. She got up on her tiptoes and kissed him.

"Good job sweetie," she said kissing him again

"Thanks, Buffy could you just do me one favor," he asked sweetly

"Sure hunny,"

"Try not to be so moody and if you can't help it warn me," he joked kissing Buffy again

(I know the fight scene sucks but I was really tired and I wanted to get it done with so I might go back later and fix it)
