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. I figured out where I'm going with this. I didn't want to write another "Buffy and Angel get married" story. As always, tell me if it sucks so I won't waste my time. Thanks.
This is part 9 of 12.
Summer's home, 4 o'clock
Buffy and her father got back. The movie had been ok. They went out to get ice cream after. Things were still strange between them. The mood was still tense.
"All I'm asking is how were the aliens planning to take over the planet when they can't touch water?" Buffy and her father talked about the movie as the neared the door. There wasn't much else that Buffy wanted to talk about. She knew that they needed to talk about certain things. The time just wasn't right. Buffy wanted to tell him how happy she was. How much she loved Angel. She really wanted to. She just didn't know how.
They entered the front door.
"WILLOW!" Buffy ran to Willow and hugged her. It had been about 3 months since they had seen each other.
The reunion went well. Hank was pleased to meet Willow. He thought she was a right young woman. He felt a bit more postive about Buffy's life in general after meeting Willow.
Summers's home, midnight
Hank was downstairs, alone in the dining room. He was thinking about the days events. True, things were better after Willow got here, but he still wasn't sure. Something didn't feel right. Mostly, about Buffy's realtionship.
Willow couldn't sleep. The time change thing. She decided to go downstairs.
"Mr. Summers?" Willow wondered why he was up.
"Oh, hi Willow. I couldn't sleep. I was just thinking." Hank replied.
"Me either." Willow confessed
"I'm worried about my daughter. Willow, could you answer some questions for me? Hank hoped Willow would agree to help him.
"Mr. Summers, don't you think you better ask Buffy?" Willow had a feeling what this was about. What else. Angel.
"I would. It is just so hard to talk to her. We had been distant these past few years. I worry. I'm not to sure about this Angel guy. And them living together? How long have they been seeing each other?" he questioned Willow about the one topic she was a little worried about what to say.
"Mr. Summers." Ok, she could do this. She could make things right. "I've known Buffy since the 10th grade. I have spent the last 8 years being her bestfriend. Buffy is smart. She knows what she is doing. I want lie, she has made bad choices. She has regrets. She hasn't had it easy." Willow took a deep breath.
"But, Angel. Angel loves Buffy more than I have seen anyone love anyone else before. He would give his life for her. They really do have true love. And when you have all that, the rest just falls into place. " Willow continued. "Mr. Summers, if I may, Buffy doesn't need you." Hank looked shocked. "She would never tell you this. But, it is true. You haven't been around. She has done it all on her own."
"I know." Hank confessed. "I love her. I love Dawn. Neither of them need me. They have grown to be strong young women. Able to take care of themselves."
Hank sighed and said, "I think the best thing I can do if wish her well and get out of her life."
*But, not before I fix this Angel promblem.*
Buffy maybe capable, but he still didn't like Angel. I felt that if he could get Buffy away from Angel, things would go better in her life. His research on Angel had not provided anything good or bad. Still, he had a feeling.
