Sorry about not updating earlier, but I went on vacation for five days.

Part 13.
Finally, drenched and exhausted, everyone had thrown themselves onto the sand, allowing the sun's warmth to be absorbed into their skin.
"I got you good." Angel teased Buffy, making a splashing motion with his hands.
"I'll get you better." She shot back, reaching out to mess up his hair, still wet from the water.
"That's not fair!" He exclaimed. "What if I did that to your hair?"
"Then I'd be pulling Slayer moves on you wouldn't I?" She teased, laying across his bare stomach. He wrapped his arms around her. "You know that now we have to go back in the water."
"Why?" She asked dreamily, lulled by the sun's warmth.
"Because we have to get the sand off!" Angel exclaimed, getting to his feet and picking her up at the same time. She screamed as he carried her down to the water, dropping her when the water reached his waist.
"That was not funny!" She stood gasping for breath, while Angel stood laughing.
"I guess I got you back."
Hair streaming down her back, completely drenched, a strange look passed over her face. Then. taking him by surprise she launched herself at him, and kissed him passionately, her arms wrapped around his neck, like she was never going to let go. Angel slid his hands down to her waist, steadying her.
They remained that way until Buffy had to come up for air. "I've never loved you more that I do right now." She breathed.
"I won't ever let you go again Buffy. I promise."
For a second she rested her head against his chest, then both moved as on the sand, Conner began to cry. Both drenched, Buffy and Angel made their way up the beach, dripping trails of water as they went.
"What's the matter little guy?" Angel asked his son, picking him up from Cordelia's arms.
Buffy his cheek, and smiled as Conner began to coo and smile again. "He thought he was missing out on all the fun."
"I think he just missed us." Angel slid one arm around her waist, and watched as what had been three shadows on the ground became one.
"Us." Buffy echoed, cuddling into his chest, and stroking Conner's tiny face with her free hand.
