Author's note: glad you all enjoyed the first chapter of the sequel. I couldn't resist writing that scene. I put the handcuff comment in for all b/s shippers at fanforum. (You wouldn't believe the discussion we get into).

Anyway.....

Beginning..

Knock, Knock.

"Bloody hell, can't anyone respect a person's sleep?" Spike grumbled as he went to the hotel room door. Dawn was on the couch watching t.v eating a some kiwi and toast.

"You couldn't answer the door bit?" he said glancing at the clock that said 9:30.

"I was going to, but I heard you getting up, so I figured why waste the effort?" she answered as she stared at the tv.

Knock, Knock.

Spike reached for the door and opened it abruptly.

"Can't a man get a good sleep anymore?" he said to Xander and Anya who smiled at apologetically.

"Sorry Spike, we just came by to say that were going back to Sunnydale. Anya has to get back to the Magic Box and I have to get back to work." Xander said as Spike let them in.

"Alright then, would you two like a coffee before you go?" Spike asked pleasantly. Xander looked at him quizzically wondering why the ex-vampire was being such a host.

"You got laid!" Anya exclaimed at Spike's behavior.

"Anya!" Xander said looking over at his fiancé.

"What? He's in a good mood and standing there in shorts and a robe, what did you expect me to think?" she retorted. Spike just laughed. Buffy emerged from the bedroom in a blue silk housecoat and smiled at her friends.

"Hey guys" she said and hugged them.

"Hey buff, how are you feeling?" Xander said hugging her back.

"Fine, no changes what so ever...oh food" Buffy said walking towards the kitchenette. Spike laughed.

'God Buffy do you ever not look beautiful' Spike thought.

'Nope' Buffy answered smiling as she pulled out some milk. She moved over to the cupboard and took out a box of lucky charms.

'God, I love this hotel, when I told them food for a teenager, they really did give us that' Buffy thought as she poured the lucky charms into a bowl. Spike laughed out loud and Anya just looked at him like he was crazy.

"Oh yea, the mind sight" she said realization hitting her. "I'd like a coffee Spike"

"Ah, what the hell bleach boy, bring on the caffeine" Xander said sitting at the dinning room table. "How's Dawn this morning?" Xander asked the tv bound teen.

"Better, my skin feels like its humming...but I'm good" she said turning and smiling at them. Buffy emerged from the little kitchen carrying a glass of orange juice and the bowl of lucky charms. She set them down on the table and went over and hugged her little sister.

"Did you and Spike get any sleep last night" the littlest summer's asked. Smirking at Spike's expression from the bar.

"Yea, we did get *some* sleep" Buffy answered as she sat down at the table. Spike carried over two cups of coffee to the table, returning to the bar for his tea. When Buffy gave him a look her exclaimed.

"What it's earl grey?" he said and Buffy laughed and then leaned over and kissed him. She was about to say something when there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it" Dawn said setting her food down on the end table by the couch.

"Sure! Now she gets the door" Spike said.

"Hey guys" Dawn said letting Willow and Tara in. Buffy got up and went and hugged her friends.

"Hey Buffy" Tara said hugging her.

"Would you guys like some coffee? Since I'm serving?" Spike asked getting up.

"Sure" Willow said sitting down next to Xander. "Do you have any tea?" Tara asked sitting beside Willow who sat opposite Buffy. Spike just smiled and nodded.

"So what brings all of you guys here?" Buffy asked.

"Well Xander and I are heading back to Sunnydale when were done here" Anya answered.

"Tara and I were wondering what you guys were up to today. Maybe we could get some quality girl time in with you and Dawn" Willow said. Buffy looked to Spike who just shrugged.

'No matter to me luv, I am capable of shopping for myself, I do have me own money' Spike thought to her.

'Yea I noticed' Buffy thought as she looked at her engagement ring and began to play with it.

"Oh and we could, you know, scout around for some wedding dresses and stuff" Tara said noticing Buffy.

'I have to go see peaches today, I promised I'd talk to him about some things' Spike thought making the decision easier.

"Well ours isn't the only wedding coming up" Buffy said addressing Xander and Anya.

"Oh don't worry about it Buffy, we have everything pretty much planned already." Xander said.

"Yea we just have to finish ordering the food, the arrangements, the gowns, and organising the seating schedule" Anya filled in.

"Have you guys picked a date?" Willow asked.

"The 23 rd of next month" Xander answered putting his arm around his fiancé's shoulder.

"Well then its settled, you girls go shopping. I have some stuff I want to do before we leave anyway" Spike said setting the tea and coffee down for the witches.

"When are we leaving?" Dawn asked from the couch.

"I think the day after tomorrow would be alright" Spike answered, sneaking a bite of Buffy's lucky charms. Buffy just gave him a look that said step away from the cereal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"oh my god Buffy, that is the perfect dress for you" Willow said pointing at the white and red embroidered dress in the window. It was strapless with a bodice that went to just above where the hips would be. It flowed large at the bottom and had a flower type patter embroidered in red. It had a matching shawl made of silk.

"Wow" Buffy exclaimed staring at the dress. "Let's go inside" she said fleeing to the door of the store. When they emerged a small mousey women greeted them.

"Good morning"

"Good morning" Willow replied.

"How much is the dress in the window?" Buffy asked bluntly.

"Oh umm ...$9,012 miss." the women said coming from behind the desk. "Would you like to try it on?"

"Yes I would" Buffy answered beaming.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I am buying this dress" Buffy said matter-of-factly turning around in front of the mirror.

"I think you should" Dawn put in.

"It looks awesome on you Buffy" Tara said holding up the small train.

"If it were me and I looked that good in that dress I would" Willow commented.

"That's it." Buffy exclaimed happily. "I'll take it" she said to the clerk. The clerk smiled and went over to the desk returning with a clipboard.

"If you'll just sign here, we'll hold the dress here for you until just before the big day." she said holding up the clipboard to Buffy. "Will you be paying cash or check?".

Buffy signed the sheet and handed the woman back the clipboard. She smiled at her reflection and answered,

"Cash"

"Very well miss" she said and went to the desk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Morning peaches" Spike said as he knocked on Angel's office door.

"Morning William" Angel said looking up from his papers.

"You said you wanted to talk to me" Spike said offhandedly.

"Yes I do" Angel said gesturing for Spike to sit. "A lot of things have happened in the last few days"

"Yes they have" Spike said nodding.

"The most interesting for me being that you asked Buffy to marry you." Angel said staring into his grand-childe's eyes.

"If your going to give me a lecture Angel then I am just going to leave, I don't need to hear it. I love Buffy very much, I don't plan on hurting her so you can save the speech." Spike said getting up.

"Spike sit down" Angel growled. "That's not exactly why I asked to talk to you". Intrigued Spike sat back down.

"Then what is it?"

"I got my soul, for keeps." Angel stated.

"Yea peaches I was there remember"

"So now I can have a moment of happiness and not lose my soul" Angel said hoping Spike would catch on.

"So you want to be with Buffy?" Spike asked getting angry.

"No"

"No?" Spike asked confused.

"I love Buffy, but that was then and this is...well now"

"Uhuh" Spike said still confused.

"I just wanted to tell you that you have no worries. I am not going to try and take Buffy from you"

"as if you could" Spike said with a smirk.

"Oh I could" Angel said full of confidence. "But I won't"

"Your in love with the cheerleader" Spike observed.

"Yea I am" Angel said smiling.

"Well good for her, and good for you" Spike said sincerely.

"Thanks William" Angel said earnestly. He got up from his desk and gave Spike a hug.

"There must be something going on" Spike said.

"What do you mean?" Angel asked.

"Were getting along" Spike said.

"Well it had to happen some time didn't it?" Angel asked and they both laughed.

"So are you nervous?" Angel asked as they started to walk out of the office.

"Nope. I marrying the most perfect women in the world. I love her and she loves me" Spike said beaming.

"That's great" Angel said sincerely. "And you know what's even better?"

"What?"

"She's not marrying that farm boy Riley" Angel answered and the two laughed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"are you nervous Buffy?" Tara asked. The five girls were sitting at a café drinking iced cappuccino's.

"Yes" Buffy answered honestly. "I'm marrying the man I love but there is still one thing that bother's me"

"What?" Dawn asked.

"Well...." Buffy said nervously.
