Song: How Do I live- LeAnn Rimes
Rain's cell phone rang at 9 a.m. on November 23, 2003. "Hello?" The Amazon answered.
"Rain, it's Hailie the doctor called it's positive." The girl sniffled. "I've already told Faith."
"I'm here for you Hailie but today you can't break down but at the wedding you should tell Kyle."
"He's going to hate me."
"No, he's not."
"Hey, beautiful." Connor walked into Rain's room that she shared with Mac.
"Hang on Hailie. I'm kind of busy right now." She walked over to him she was still in her PJ's.
"I'm sorry." He kissed her forehead. "Come see me when you're not." He left.
"Ok, Hailie I'm back."
"I'm scared Rain."
"I understand you are but you got to fight Hailie."
"I'm trying I've got to go get ready. I'll see you later."
"Ok, remember keep fighting." They hung up.
Rain went to Connor's room where he lay on his stomach he couldn't see her so she crept quietly up to him sitting on him. "Uh... I love you too."
How do I, Get through one night without you?
If I had to live without you,
What kind of life would that be?
Oh, I need....
I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
You're my world, my heart, my soul,
"I love you." She slid off his back and laid on her stomach right next to him.
"Are we ready for this?" Connor turned his head looking at his girlfriend.
"Ready for what?" She asked touching his face.
"To see our first wedding together knowing one day it'll be us doing that." Distinctly Angel and Spike could be heard talking nervously.
"I'm ready are you."
"I got you. So, I'm ready."
"Mommy and Daddy are getting married today!" Mac ran into the room and jumped on the bed. They both turned to look at her and she began to jump up and down. "Connor and Rain sitting in a tree K-I-SS-IN- G. First comes..."
"Spike angry." Spike runs into the room they eye him oddly.
"I was only joking old uncle Spike." Mac jumped into his arms.
Connor smiled at his sister then he leaned over kissing Rain lightly which made Spike growl. "You're funny."
Mac giggled. "I'm going to see if B or Kay need help." Rain rolled off the bed. "Let's go munchkin." Rain opened her arms and Mac jumped from Spike to the Slayer.
"Dad!" Connor yelled as Spike stayed glaring at him.
"What?" Angel asked.
"Take Captain peroxide somewhere." Connor rolled his eyes as Spike tried to step forward but Angle grabbed his arm.
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything good in my life,
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
Without you,
"Come on Spike." Connor closed his eyes.
"Connor!" Gunn yelled and Connor re-opened his eyes groaning.
"Buffy?" Rain, Kay, Mac, and Buffy were in Angel and Kay's bedroom they all turned to as Joyce appeared.
"Mommy?" Buffy asked surprised.
"Yes, it's one of your wedding present from the PTB." Joyce stepped out of the way as Mario appeared.
"I'm one of your presents." He smiled at his twin.
"I get to join them." Mallory smiled as she appeared still glowy. "I'm a guardian Angel for warriors." Rain was the first to move she hugged her best friend.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save you." Tears slid down the Amazon slayer's cheek.
"It's all right it was my time to go."
"You all want some breakfast?" Fred walked in the room. "Hey Mallory." She smiled but then she stopped and looked quickly at the dead slayer. "Mallory?"
"Hey Fred." Mallory giggled.
"Anybody come quick we've got dead people!" Fred yelled out into the hall and footsteps were heard from both end of the hall.
"Joyce? Mario? Mallory?" Angel looked lost.
"Presents fro the brides." Joyce smiled and walked over to the dark haired vamp embracing him.
"That's wonderful."
"No, it's not! They're giving them to us just to take them away again!" Tyler yelled.
"Tyler, you're going to be ok." Mallory went to him.
"I don't want to have you taken away from me again."
"I'll always be right here." She touched his chest.
"Let's go we have a wedding to set up." Joyce clapped her hands and everyone scattered.
There'd be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
There'd be no world left for me.
And I,
Baby I don't know what I would do,
I'd be lost if I lost you,
Later.....
Angel smiled as Connor and Ran walked down the isle together. Spike and him stood at the front with a reverend, who understood everything. Behind Rain and Connor, Mac was throwing flowers out of her basket happily. Finally Mario came with Kay at his side and behind them Giles accompanied Buffy down the isle. The ceremony continued and before everyone knew it the reverend was saying. "You may now kiss the bride." Spike and Angel kissed the brides at the same time but Spike pulled back quickly.
"Spike, are you all right?" Buffy asked worriedly.
He glowed quickly when he stopped he gasped for breath. "He's alive." Mallory smiled and disappeared.
"What?" Buffy looks at her mom but before Joyce can say anything a big white portal opens above everyone and a girl falls out everybody rushes to her. She's dressed in a white cloth as she stands Angel staggers backwards.
"What's wrong Liam? Aren't you happy to see your sister?" Kathy smiles cockily.
"Ok, this is weirder than Spike being alive." Xander looks over at Willow.
"Let me guess presents?" Connor looks at Joyce and Mario who nod.
"I'm pregnant." Hailie stands up not being able to hold it in any longer.
"Ok, that's now that's...now...that's...I'm at a lost for words about it." Xander says to Willow.
"I just wanted one day where nothing goes wrong why couldn't they give me that?" Buffy screams.
"Aren't you happy Spike is human?"
"A little but who's going to protect me or him for that matter?"
"He still has all the strengths of a vampire except the running he has human speed." Joyce explained.
"Ow!" Rain fell to her knees grabbing her head.
"Aspirin, water!" Angel yelled pushing Kathy out of the way and joined Connor in front of Rain who looks up. "What did you see?" Angel asks as Tyler handed the aspirin and water to his friend.
"It hurt so much but I didn't see anything only heard a girl crying out but it was more angry than scared."
"What did she cry out for?" Connor question his girlfriend.
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,
And tell me now,
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
Please tell me baby,
How do I go on?
"Nothing she was just yelling angrily."
"You mean just Ah...but angry Ah...?" Buffy is still disappointed.
"Yeah, I heard mumbling but I'm not quite sure what the person or thing was saying."
"The PTB really needs to make those better." Mercury stood up.
"No..." Rain caught on to Connor's arm as her knees fell out from under her.
"Another one?" Cammie asked.
"What is it?" Angel asked as the teenage slayer's eyes opened.
"A demon in front of Wolfram & Hart it looked like it was waiting for something."
"Let's go." He looked at Gunn and Wesley.
"We're going with you." Rain used Connor to help her up.
"I don't think...' Wesley started.
"Fine, get changed." Angel walked upstairs.
Everyone sat in silence as Connor, Rain, Gunn, and Wesley followed him.
"So, Kathy how are you?" Kay picked up Mac who was tugging at her beautiful wedding gown.
"I'm good. Spending 200 + years in heaven wasn't to bad." The brunette nodded.
-Upstairs-
Rain finished putting on a shirt when another vision hit her and she reached out to catch herself pulling books off the desk they landed with a thump. "Rain!" Connor opened the door. "Dad, she's having another one!" The Destroyer rushed to his girlfriend and Angel cam flying with an un-buttoned shirt followed by Wesley and Gunn. "Are you ok?" Wesley threw Connor the aspirin as Rain sat up.
"Yeah, fine they're going to blow my brain up at this rate though." She pushed the aspirin away.
"What was it?" Angel started buttoning his shirt.
"Our demon friend and the girl from my earlier vision, also our friend Chance they're still in front of Wolfram & Hart they look like they're waiting for something and the girl is mad it's not there yet that's my guess."
-Outside Wolfram & Hart-
"Chance are we sure we can trust him, will he get us Angelus?" A girl asked she looked a lot like Chance she had sandy blond hair in a long braid, hazel eyes, wearing leather pant, bright green top with a leather jacket.
"Sure, Shay." Chance put his hands in his pockets.
"You're my little brother it's my job to take care of you so tell me what's wrong?" Shay slung her arm around Chance she was a couple inches tall than him and he was about 5'9.
"Have you ever seen a vampire slayer?"
"No, what are you getting to?"
"Well, a vampire slayer knows Angelus and she's amazing you should see her." Shay smiles at him and they both turn to the demon who's head snaps to the right.
"Do I have to try and send his damn seer another vision?" Shay asks angrily.
"No, thanks I got the first 3 messages." Rain came out of the darkness with a crossbow.
"Are you looking for me?" Angel, Wesley, and Gunn walked out with one sided axes.
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything,
I need you with me,
Baby don't you know that you're everything,
Real in my life?
And tell me now,
"Sorry, you disturb a wedding you make a lot of people pissed." Connor comes out standing next to Rain. "Then you give my girlfriend bone crunching headaches they're isn't even a word to describe how ticked off I am." He twirls his sword.
"Today is your 3-for-1 slayer day." Faith and Buffy come out holding stakes.
"Why do you have so many people for 1 demon?" Shay crosses her arms.
"Vampires, I know they're Chance's special friends." Rain smiles cheekily.
The demon growls and something shoots from his arm straight at Angel but he moves quickly. 20 or more vampires come out from behind the bushes. "Well, you're right about that but that's not a good thing for you." Shay laughs.
"Did I forget to tell you about my SIT's and the Wiccans?" Justice joined by Mercury, Lela, Hailie, Willow, Tara, and Ara walked out.
"Again you pissed a lot of people off." Spike walked out holding a stake. "And one of them is me."
"We've come prepared." Shay tilts he head while smiling and energy like lighting comes of her fingers striking Justice, Mercury, Lela, Hailie, Willow, Tara, Ara, Spike, Gunn, Wesley, and Connor in the chest sending them backwards.
"Oh, the bitch didn't." Rain looked back at Connor then she shot her crossbow at a vampire and it fell to dust.
"Ouch, that hurt." Shay said sarcastically.
"Maybe, that didn't but this will." Rain shot a bow at Shay's leg and it pierced it but Shay broke it and pulled it out.
"Attack but leave miss attitude to me." Rain continued toward Shay.
"Rain, swap!" Mercury threw her sword to Rain and Rain threw her cross bow to Mercury.
Rain stood in front of shay. "I'm weaponless this really isn't fair."
"Yeah right, Ms. Rayden weaponless my ass." Shay smiled.
"I like you to bad you're going to die." Connor's sword appeared in Shay's hand.
"Bring it on Lightening Barbie."
"This is going to be so easy." Shay struck out with her sword but Rain blocked it.
"Think again." Rain attacked with more strength than Shay had. With a swift move Rain cut Shay's left arm.
"Shay!" Chance yells.
"O hell no!" Shay throws the sword down and throws a lightening ball at Rain who is thrown right in the path of another thing the demon was trying to hit Angel with. The Demon aims again for Angel gets in the way being hit. Then the demon disappears. Rain staggers to stand.
"Let's go!" Chance order the vampires.
"Mercury, Rain are you two ok?" Buffy questions the two.
"I'm fine." Rain stands up but falls back over.
"Me too." Mercury can't even stand.
"We've got to find out about that demon." Connor lifted Rain in his arms and Gunn lifted Mercury.
-Hyperion...-
"It's a Cleann it injects it's victims with an arrow which brings forth the inner demon. That's why they wanted Angel because it would basically bring forth Angelus." Giles explained.
"So, when Rain and Mercury wake up they'll be all evil?" Tyler questioned.
"I don't know depends Rain's already faced her inner demon she may not have one anymore it doesn't matter because there's an antidote." Giles points out.
"What is it?" Buffy looks over Giles' shoulder.
"We'll need one o the demon's arrows and vampire's blood."
"Ew... they have to drink it." Kali's face scrunched up.
"We'll use my blood but how are we going to find the demon?" Angel looked at the watcher.
"You." Giles suggested.
"Me?"
"Yes, they want you Angel it only makes sense." Wesley added.
"Fine but if I get injected by this thing just stake me." They all stared at the Champion. "I'm serious." He stared at Connor, then he glanced to Mac and Kay. "Angelus would have to many targets." Angel finished.
"What are we going to do with Rain and Mercury till then?"
"That's a good question." Rain laughed.
"Rain, you've fought you're inner demon you've kicked it's ass ,that's all it is." Connor started slowly towards her.
"I don't think so." Shay gave a wicked laugh. "It's hard to fight."
"Let me go!" Casey hit at Mercury.
"Mercury stop!" Tyler yelled at the SIT who had Casey by the arm.
"Why should I?" Mercury twisted Casey's arm harder.
"Ow!" Casey whimpered.
"No, leave her alone." Bradley pleaded.
"Angel look out!" Spike pulled the vampire out of the way as the demon shot the arrow. Rain turned on Cleann.
"Do that again and I'll personally shove the arrow up your..." She glared at the demon.
"Children in the room!" Mac looked at Rain.
"Ow!" Casey cried out as her bone cracked.
How do I live without you,
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
"Casey!" Hailie had tears pouring down her cheek.
Rain grabbed Casey away from Mercury throwing her to Connor who caught her. "What the hell are you doing?" Mercury barked at the slayer.
"My inner demon doesn't like your inner demon."
"Yo miss do gooder." Shay hit Rain with lightening which sent her flying across the room.
"Rain, your hurt her." Mac screamed and threw a dagger at Shay with her mind.
Chance stepped out and grabbed the knife. "Nice aim but mine's better." Shay threw lightening at Mac but it was deflected.
Tara grabbed Willow's hand who grabbed Kay's. "Leave now, this warm home let it be safe from your storm." Kay recited.
Reshawn had got over to the weapon cabinet now ran at Shay with a sword. "Reshawn no!" Kali screamed. Chance kicked the sword away.
Rain twitched standing up. "Is that all you got?"
"Nope, got one more thing." Shay smirked and Mercury stepped between them with the sword she faced Rain.
"Mercury, I don't want to hurt you." Rain stepped back as Mercury advanced on her. "Never said I wouldn't." Rain kicked the sword away then kicked the SIT in the stomach. The Amazon swept Mercury's legs out from under her.
"Rain be careful." Tyler looked worriedly as Rain kicked Mercury in the ribs and was about to again but Mercury grabbed her foot and pulled her over.
"No." Mac whispered rising her hands and Mercury rose up.
Shay walked over to Rain who flipped up. "It's just you and me." Rain smirked.
"Yeah," Shay nodded throwing lightening at Rain who stumbled back. "I still got something left though."
"Rain!" Mac held Mercury up with one hand and rose Shay with the other. Chance started slowly advancing but Connor stepped in his path.
"Don't even think about hurting my sister." Connor glared.
Angel was dodgeing flying arrows from the demon. "Mac drop one and help you dad!" Rain yelled seeing Angel's distress. She released Mercury who fell to the ground.
"My daddy!" Mac threw a sword to Angel with her mind and lifted the demon up. Angel walked over and sliced the demon's head off.
Wesley picked up an arrow as Mercury gets up. "Angel your blood." Angel hurries to Wesley who is handed a glass by Kay. Angel cuts his wrist letting blood fall in.
"Come on Rain." Mercury motions for her. "I've been waiting to kick your ass for a while." The SIT swings a kick at the slayer's head but Rain caught it.
"Watch you language there's a child in this room." She throws the leg down hard.
Mercury throws a hard left hook into Rain's side. "Mercury stop!" Tyler tackles her to the ground. Chance kicks at Connor midsection and the Destroyer stumbles. As Chance is about to throw a right punch Rain grabs his hand.
"You want to see my demon?" She slams her foot into Chance's chest. "It's me and I don't like people who mess with my boyfriend." She gives a powered kick to Chance's stomach and he flies backwards into a wall.
Tyler, Dawn, and Reshawn hold Mercury down as Wesley made her drink the antidote. Rain falls to her knees tired. "Rain drink the antidote." Wesley comes quickly to her.
"Does Rain, eve need the antidote?" Justice asks.
"Yeah, did you not see what she did to Chance?" Angel looked over at the wall where Chance was kicked to it had a huge indent.
"Is that a bad thing?" Anya asks holding Giles' hand.
"Angel, you've in trouble." Linsey runs into the Hyperion.
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?
How do I live without you?
How do I live without you baby?
(What trouble is Angel in? The real question is when is Angel not in trouble? What did you think?)
