Authors Note: Okay saw Love Actually, and heard this song and I thought what a great fluffy Christmas song. And given my love of song fics I thought I'd write this, but it isn't a classical song fic, Okay so it doesn't go with the others. This is pure holiday fluff!! Happy Holidays!!!
Summery: Christmas Eve at Wolfram and Hart is slow, and Angel gets some Christmas cookies, OOO and a song.

"So, what does an evil law firm do for Christmas? Another party perhaps?"
"Spike shut up!!!"
"Hey you at least got laid!!!"
"Hmm and your sorry non-corporeal ass can't," Angel paused and tried to sound sincere "sorry man!!!"
"Fine," Spike stood up "I'll let you spend your Holiday all ALONE!! Funny isn't how all your friends have other plans."
"Spike" Angel growled through his teeth
"I mean the scientist bint has a date, the watcher is off with his real Dad, and the thug is at a private party, all alone except for ghosty ole me." Spike smiled "But now I'm gone, go hang around in the girls locker room"
"Don't come back!" Angel shouted after him. He then proceeded to turn on the TV, he was hurt his family had all but deserted him on Christmas Eve. Eve, hmmm he hadn't seen her since that night Wesley killed his cyborg Dad. Didn't Spike say something about being stuck in an elevator? Nothing to worry about, he'd look into it later.
"Boss, I'm gonna take off." Harmony walked in an gave him another cup of blood, "Ohh and this came for you," Harmony then handed him a brown box the just had his name typed across it.
"Did you see who brought it?" Angel asked wary of what the box could contain he had been wary of his mail for the last couple months.
"Mmhmm, yeah so I'm gonna go." She rushed out of his office, then he heard her shout, "Merry Christmas" from down the hallway.
"Okay, so what kind of evil do you contain?" He asked the box, holding close and shaking it slightly to see what was in it. He was mid shake when he heard the music start.
"I don't want a lot for Christmas, There is just one thing I need" He recognized the voice and watched the door to his office open slowly. "I don't care about the presents, Underneath the Christmas tree" She stepped into the room smiling. Holding the microphone close to her mouth, "I just want you for my own, More than you could ever know, Make my wish come true, All I want for Christmas, Is you..." She was wearing a large Santa hat, a bright red sweater and black slacks. She looked considerably healthier than the last time he saw her. Angel opened his mouth to speak but she shook her head and kept right on singing.
"I don't want a lot for Christmas , There is just one thing I need, I don't care about the presents, Underneath the Christmas tree, I don't need to hang my stocking, There upon the fireplace, Santa Claus won't make me happy, With a toy on Christmas day, I just want you for my own, More than you could ever know, Make my wish come true, All I want for Christmas, Is you... You baby" She moved further into his office and he saw the small CD player in her hand and watched her set on the floor. She made her way towards the window that showed the breathtaking LA night view.
"Buffy" Angel finally said and she turned her head towards him and smiled before continuing.
"I won't ask for much this Christmas, I won't even wish for snow" She looked at him and he remembered his last Christmas with her. "I'm just gonna keep on waiting, Underneath the mistletoe" holding up a small piece of the holiday plant she raised it over her head. "I won't make a list and send it, To the North Pole for Saint Nick, I won't even stay awake to, Hear those magic reindeer click." She seemed oblivious to him now completely focused on her performance as she made her way over to his desk clutching the microphone for dear life. The she raised her eyes to his, and he just stared at her so completely surprised she was in his office.
She reached over and took the package from him as she sang, "'Cause I just want you here tonight,
Holding on to me so tight, What more can I do, Baby all I want for Christmas, Is you... You..." She opened the package in front of the stunned Angel and pulled out a plate full of colorful Christmas cookies.
"They even have sprinkles" She smiled at him letting the CD take over for her. "So I was leaving Romania and I realized I was done." She took a bite of a red sprinkled Santa as she crawled across his desk.
"Buffy?" It was all Angel could get out. As he watched his soulmate pick up another cookie, a bright green stocking. "What? How?"
"And so I talked to this Goddess I know, about my state of doneness. And you know what she asked?" She smiled as she broke a piece of the green stalking and moved to let her legs hang over the edge of his desk in front of him. Neatly crossed at the knee.
"What?" Angel who had regained his brain asked coyly grinning at her. Taking the cookie from her and biting into it. Leaning over so he could feel her breath on his face.
"She asked what I wanted for Christmas? And I thought it was an odd question considering it was a week after Thanksgiving. But I thought about it," moving her head down so she was eye level with him. "I want what I always wanted for Christmas," she smiled "You" She brushed her lips against his ever so lightly.
He moved his hands to her hips and lifted himself to a better kissing angle. Breaking the kiss he asked,
"What took you so long?"
"Do you have any idea how difficult it was for me to insure you'd be alone tonight?" she laughed as she kissed him again. "And it took lots of planning, oh and baking, did you know I'm a really sucky baker?" He reached down to kiss her again, "Plus getting the Powers That Be to let Willow fix your curse took time, but in the end my little red headed goddess won. And then I had to pick the song, that took for…" She was interrupted by Angel's lips as they descended and began to play with hers.
The kiss was deep and held years of longing, to finally be together after everything was a miracle. A Christmas Miracle.
"I love you, Buffy Anne Summers and this is the best Christmas gift I've ever received" he smiled as he reached her lips once more.
"I love you too," She smiled big and bright, "but there is one thing you should know before we go any further…"
"What?"
"I'm pregnant."
