Dis. I don't own any own any of this, it belongs to Joss.

Spoilers. This is set in the future, right after Angel is turned human. Buffy is 22 and Angel was turned when he was 26, so we will say that is how old he is. Buffy and Angel have just gotten back together, and now live together at the Summer's home. Dawn is in college, and not in this fic. Xander and Anya are back together, and starting to think about marriage again. Willow is single and looking.

Feedback. Pretty please. LauraNC@bolt.com

Author's note. If this sucks could some one let me know, so I won't keep wasteing time. Also, I don't have spell check. I do the best I can, but there may be some mistakes.

This is part 8 of 12.





Sunnydale's airpot, afternoon

Willow walked from the airport to the taxi. She was excited! She couldn't wait to suprise Buffy and Angel. Her school was having a week break. She had saved for the plane ticket home ever since she heard there was a change Angel would be human. Seeing him and Buffy together would make her happy.





Summer's home, afternoon

"Dad, come on. I say we do something today. Have some fun." Although it is not the fun that Buffy wanted to have, it was better than having her dad give Angel the third degree.

Hank decided that he had a last name, an age, and location. He could find plenty with that. "How about a movie? I'll pay." Hank offered.

"Sure! Sounds like a plan." Buffy was pleased that he accepted the idea of something that wasn't this. That is when Angel got an idea.

"You know what? Why don't you and Buffy go to the movies alone. Give you some father-daughter alone time." Angel suggested.

"Great idea! Come on dad, if we hurry we can make the 1 o'clock show." Buffy hurried her dad out the door.



Summer's house, 1 o'clock

Angel sat alone thinking. Why was Buffy's father so interested in Buffy's life now? After all these years, why now? He didn't have long to think. There was knock at the door. He walked to the front door and opened it.

"Willow! Willow, your here!" Angel embraced the red-headed witch. She had changed. They were good changes. She looked good, more mature. "When did you get to Sunnydale?"

"Just now. I wanted to suprise you and Buffy. Where is she?" Willow was excited, there was so much to talk about. So much to catch up on.

Angel led Willow into the living room and explained all about what was going on. About turning human, about him and Buffy being back together, and the vist from her father.

"Willow, there is something I want to show you." Angel headed upstairs and returned in a few seconds with a tiny box.

"ANGEL! Is that what I think it is?" Willow looked excited

"I know me and Buffy have only been back together for a few days now. But, I can't see myself with anyone else. I'm pretty sure that she feels the same way." Angel looked to Willow for her to agree.

"I'm gonna ask Buffy to marry me." Angel said. It was the first time that he had ever said it out loud. It scared him. He loved Buffy. He knew this is what he wanted. He just hoped she felt the same way.

"I'm not asking her anytime soon, ok" Angel was unsure of himself. "So, please, not a word to her."

"Oh course." Willow could keep a secret.

"Meanwhile, I'm gonna have to deal with this Hank Summer's promblem. How am I gonna deal with this? I don't even know how long he will be here." Angel looked down. "He'll never accept me."
