Our little. . . Angel

Over the next few weeks Spike and Buffy enjoyed being new parents. They had decided together that they would go to L.A. to thank Angel personally for giving them the ring. Buffy had talked to him earlier and he had said that they could keep it. When Amara was almost a month old they drove to L.A.
"We're here," Buffy said.
"Yeah" Spike said in a monotone voice, holding his daughter.
"Come on honey, we agreed" Buffy said.
"I know we did, and I think we made the right choice, but.that still doesn't change the fact that.well you know," he said.
"I know, but be nice okay" she said.
"I will, I promise," he said. They walked into the hotel to find Cordelia and Fred talking in the lobby.
"Cordy" Buffy said happily.
"Oh my god Buffy!" Cordelia said as she rushed over to her and hugged her.
"How are you?" Buffy asked.
"I'm good, what about you?" Cordy asked.
"Ditto" Buffy said.
"You remember Fred right?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah, hi" Buffy said.
"Hello" Fred said.
"Hi Spike" Cordy said.
"Hey" Spike greeted her.
"So.this is your daughter?" Cordelia asked as she walked over to the infant that lay asleep in Spike's arms.
"Yeah, this is Amara" Buffy said.
"Amara.because of the gem?" Cordelia asked.
"Yeah" Buffy told her.
"It's pretty" she smiled. "I'll go tell Angel you're here." She said then walked away and they were left alone with Fred.
"So how have you been Fred?" Buffy asked, breaking the silence.
"I've been okay" Fred told her.
"Are you and Gunn still together?" Buffy asked her.
"Yeah, Charles and I are still a couple" Fred confirmed. Just then Angel walked downstairs with Cordy.
"Buffy, what are you doing here?" Angel asked.
"We came.uh can we talk alone?" Buffy asked.
"Um, yeah sure, this way" Angel said as he directed Spike and Buffy into his office. "What's up?"
"We came to thank you Angel" Buffy told him. "I know that I thanked you over the phone but." she said.
"You're welcome" he said and Buffy gave Spike a little nudge in the arm.
"Uh.yeah, thanks" Spike said.
"You're.welcome" Angel said.
"Do you want to hold her?" Buffy asked.
"Uh.sure" Angel said, and Spike gave Amara to Angel.
"Her name's Amara" Buffy told him.
"Amara huh, that's nice.wow you look just like your mother don't you" Angel told the baby sweetly.
Later Buffy and Angel had some time to talk alone while Cordy and the rest of the gang were entertaining Spike and the baby.
"I'm really grateful" Buffy told Angel.
"You've said that before" Angel smiled.
"I know but I just want you to know" Buffy said. "You know.as many demons and vampires and monsters I've faced, as many times as I've been injured and hurt.childbirth was the worst of them all, the only thing that kept me sane was knowing that.me hurting would bring this little miracle into the world, and that's what I kept thinking over and over."
"Well I know what you mean on some level, I mean I didn't go through child labor, but I do have a son, I know what's it's like to love someone so much that you think your heart might burst, I know" Angel said.
"I know you do" Buffy said and smiled at the thought of both her and Angel being parents. She never thought that neither her nor Angel would be parents. And when she did think of it she always imagined them being together. But she loved her life the way it was and she didn't want to change a thing. Well she still wanted to be normal instead of a slayer, but at least having Amara put her closer in the normal column.
Spike and Buffy stayed in L.A. for a day and half and drove back. They were happy to have their daughter, they were happy to have each other. Everything was great.forever.
The End
