Chapter three:
"Buffy" he asked, "Who's the father?"
"Oh, well…actually it's," Buffy paused before looking him in the eye, "Xander, Xander is the baby's father." She tried to judge his reaction watching an unreadable emotion cross it.
"Oh," Angel paused, "Is the Father or is he strictly working in the sperm donor capacity?"
"He's gonna be a Dad, him and Will are gonna raise the baby together." She said remembering when Willow and Xander had told her they were gonna have a baby, before Willow got the awful news. But what she remembered most, was light that shone through both their faces when she told them she would carry their baby.
"Oh good for him." Angel smiled even though it was partially tearing him up inside that Xander was going to be a Dad, when he had to sacrifice his own child. "So I take it they'll both be coming to LA soon? Wait you are staying here with me now right?" He was worried she never had said she was staying.
"Yes, I'm here to stay," she smiled at him, "I wouldn't leave you." She playfully tapped a finger on his chest over his heart. "It won't bug you will it?" She looked at him, "Because I thought about not coming until after the baby was born, but When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with some you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. But then it really isn't fair to you, to deal with me all cranky and big as house. And then it's not even yours and I just don't want to feel…."
Angel lips had interrupted her little ramble, as he slid them over hers teasing them with his tongue but not entering her own slightly parted pair, he pulled away after a minute to say.
"I think it's great what you're doing for Willow and Xander, you're going to give them a gift they would never be able to get other wise. And by the way," he grinned, "I know you ripped off that line from When Harry Met Sally…"
She grinned, "You do? Geez I hoped it would fly right over your head but," turning serious "It's true, I could barely contain myself. I spent the last month finishing up business, so I could be all yours." She smiled coyly, placing her arms around his neck and kissing him softly, but he pulled away before she could deepen it.
"What type of business?" He asked curious about what she was up too.
"Well I had to find a place for all the slayers and the Scoobies. I actually got a great deal on this old hotel that will fit all of us. It has offices, more than enough rooms and a full gym in the basement. I can't believe someone would give it up."
"Oh my God! Did you buy the Hyperion Hotel?" He asked thinking that could be fate's message that it would work this time. After if she was moving into his old hotel …
"No, actually Giles got Wesley to give it to us." She laughed, " I do know where you used to live you know!"
"Oh." He said sheepishly. "So ALL the Sunnydale gang are going to be in LA?"
"Yes everyone, and as much as I would love to continue this discussion, I got your curse fixed and I'm going to be having a baby in six months. So can we finish this later?"
"Of course," It dawning on him that he could enjoy all the happiness he wanted. "I mean those nifty things a Goddess can do." He smiled and winked at her. "Let's go back to my penthouse."
"Penthouse?" she questioned amusedly.
"Well our penthouse, now." He kissed her softly.
"Hmm sounds absolutely perfect."

"Merry Christmas!" Gunn shouted as he hopped out of the car. And made his way inside his apartment. He would call Angel later and ask how 'the reunion' went. He had lied to Angel saying he was going out with some people from his department. He had really been kicking back with Faith and Wood. He had known about Buffy coming back, for a couple of weeks. And he knew the boss would be very happy now. Thinking of happiness, 'On second thought, maybe I'll call next week when they aren't so busy.'
He liked Wood, good guy, good for Faith. Faith had been the one who told Buffy to call him and make sure everyone was gonna be out of there. He was the only one who knew, just told everyone else a client was coming in for the mysterious Christmas 'reunion'. He chuckled to himself, over the past month him and Faith had gotten pretty tight helping Buffy arrange the whole thing. Plus she was someone he could discus battle tactics with, it was nice to get a slayers perspective.
"Well I'm turning in," He said to himself stretching before he climbed into bed. And turning on his radio, he fell asleep to the sound of Mariah Carey's voice singing a very peppy Christmas song.
***
Angel just held Buffy in his arms, as she slept. Watching her chest rise and fall, he couldn't believe it was real. That she was really there and they were gonna be together. He brushed a kiss across her forehead, realizing that every year he liked Christmas more and more.
