Thank you CF and Crissy!
Brody- I doubt this is how it'll actually happen, but it's what my heart desires. Thanks for your review.
Queen Boadicea- It is glib for Benjamin to accept Angel so openly; I definitely know what you mean. I felt uncomfortable writing it so quickly and like that, but it's called Shanshu Happiness cause I want it to be happy for Angel, and having his son back is definitely part of it. Thank you for your review!
A/N: Some of this is in Italian...you can guess why.
Ch.2
"Dare il benvenuto a Roma" The stewardess greeted Angel.
(Welcome to Rome)
"Ringraziarlo." Angel thanked her and took his passport back from her.
Angel walked through the airport, dragging his leather suitcase on its wheels from behind him.
"Mr. Angel?" a driver asked as Angel came to a stretch black limo.
"Yes."
The driver smiled and opened the limo door, "Welcome to Rome."
Angel gave the driver his bag and got into the car.

Buffy brushed a piece of her blonde hair out her face before she reached for a vat of strawberries and put it in her basket.
"Ringraziamenti." Buffy thanked the vendor as she paid for her fruits.
The market was busy today, Buffy observed.
She looked around for her younger sister but couldn't find the redhead anywhere. Buffy wasn't really worried though. Since they had moved the Rome, Buffy and Dawn have lived pretty quiet lives.
Not too many monsters or demons too speak of.
Buffy's pale pink sundress blew in the breeze. She smelled the air. She loved the smell of Rome. Food always lingered in the air.
Buffy glanced over the other shops in the market, vendors trying to sell their hard worked on merchandise. There was an energy to Rome, so different from California.
Buffy took a deep breath and started walking up the hill to her and Dawn's house, swinging her basket.
Buffy was so proud of her house, it reminded Buffy of Diane Lane's house in "Under the Tuscan Sun" only less trouble since Buffy had more than enough money to use to spend fixing up her home from the Watcher's Council.
Buffy entered her gate and walked through the courtyard.
"Dawnie?"
"I'm here!" Dawn said coming into the kitchenette where her sister was.
Buffy flashed her sister a smile, "I got us some dessert."
"Buffy, I thought I told you that I was going with Xander and Andrew to Giles' tonight. They are picking me up in like," She looked at her watch, "half an hour."
"Oh. That's right I forgot. Are you sure that's how you want to spend your Spring Break? Stuffed up in tweed central? We could go to Sicily or somewhere else, not filled with Books and Death."
Dawn frowned, "I want too, Buffy."
Buffy hugged her sister, "What am I gonna do for a whole week without you here to take all my clothes?"
Dawn scoffed, "Oh please."
Dawn left the kitchenette, "I'm gonna finish packing."
Buffy pulled the strawberries out of her basket and picked one to eat, "Fine." She said to herself consolingly, "More for Buffy."
She leaned on the counter and looked out the window to the garden.
~ 30 mins. Later ~
"I love you Dawnie. See you in a week."
"Love you too Buff." Dawn gave her sister a kiss on the cheek and went to the car with Andrew.
"We'll try to get her out and do some sight seeing." Xander promised Buffy.
"Thanks Xan." She hugged her best friend, "Tell Giles I'll call him later this week."
"You got it." He hugged the blonde back and followed Dawn to the car.
Andrew waved as they drove off down the road.
Buffy wrapped her arms around herself and took a deep breath.
She grabbed a light pull over and went for a walk down by the ocean.
One of the things that Buffy loved about Rome was that almost anywhere you walk it's beautiful.
Bicyclists rode by, people walking their dogs and casually greeting one another, tipping their heads to passerbies.
"Lei guarda bell'nella Luce del sole." A hauntingly familiar man's voice whispered in Buffy's ear.
(You look beautiful in the Sunlight)
Buffy whirled around and gasped, "A-Angel?"
The handsome Angel smiled, the sun shone brilliantly on his face.
Buffy felt as though she would faint.
"Ho-How's this..." Buffy stopped herself and she reached up on her tiptoes and kissed Angel. She wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her hands through his hair.
Angel pulled Buffy's tiny frame closer to his warm body and continued to kiss her with a passion.
When they pulled away from the kiss in what felt like hours later, Buffy had the most beautiful smile on her face, one Angel had never seen before.
"Am I...this is a dream." Buffy whispered.
Angel shook his head; Buffy was still in his muscular arms.
"What's going on?" Buffy asked him, confusion replacing her happiness.
"We should talk."
