Song = Aerosmith Miss a Thing
Chapter Fourteen: Because of you...
Buffy woke up to find her self cradled in someone's lap; this person was rubbing her stomach, She automatically thought it was Spike and snuggled in to the embrace
"Spike" She said sleepily still with her eyes closed
"No my sweetheart, its me Riley." Riley said stroking her hair
Buffy jumped at the sound of the voice she was not use to hearing when she woke up
"Riley, what the hell is going on." She said looking around to find she was on a roof of a building
Buffy look down to find that she was still in her wedding dress and Riley was actually stroking her with a gun "Oh my god," Buffy said a she shook with fear and tears came down her face
"Shh, shh its all right Buffy, we'll be ok" Riley simply said Riley said to her
"Riley, let me go, please." She sobbed.
"Oh Buffy, I'll never let you go ever again, you and me were will last forever."
Buffy felt more tears came down her face
They both jumped as the door to the roof burst open and Spike still in his tux ran out.
Riley stood up and pulled Buffy up with him as he moved the gun to her head and his other arm gripped around her neck
"SPIKE!" Buffy screamed
"Hey Spike, what took you so long."
"Let her go." He growled, Buffy whimpered as he dug the gun in to her head harder and chuckled at Spike
"If you hurt her I swear to god..."
"You'll do what, you see Spike this is just a little pay back, see everything that goes wrong in my life is because of you, Buffy and I were fine, then you come along and we broke up because of you, I come back again with my wife and want to see Buffy but I find her with you, then I go again my wife leaves me and I think I'll go to the person I've always loved and I FIND HER WITH YOU."
"Look I don't give a piss about your wife, just let mine go" Spike spat at Riley as he started to get angry
"See that seems a little unfair to me, all the shit you have done to her over the years and you get to marry her, all I did was love her and try to protect her but she still ends up marrying you."
"If you love her so much why have you got a gun aimed at her head, why would you want to hurt her."
"Oh well how do you know I'm gonna hurt her first, how do you know I'm not gonna hurt the little guy." He said as he slowly moved the gun down Buffys check, down her side and pressed the barrel in to her swollen stomach.
"OH GOD OH GOD" Buffy screamed as she felt that not only was she gonna die but she would feel her baby die first
"Oh no please, please I'll do anything just don't hurt them, there my world." Spike said as he started to get really worried for their safety
Riley smiled as he held the gun at Buffys stomach "Give her up."
"What" Spike said as he shook with fear
"Give her back to me, leave and never come back."
"I err.." Spike said as he hesitated
He press the gun harder and Buffy decided she would speak up as she started to get desperate
"Riley please if you love me you wont hurt me."
"I have to do this Buffy, for us."
"Err well their wont be an us if I'm dead."
"Fine I'll let you go if you tell him you love me and that you don't love him"
He said looking at Buffy then lifting his head to look at Spike, Buffy looked up at Spike and mouthed, 'I love you.' Just so he knew that what she was about to say she didn't mean, she took a deep breath
"Spike, I don't love you, I'm in love with Riley." Buffy said looking at Spike; She then looked back up at Riley
"Ok now say it like you mean it," Riley said increasing the pressure on the gun Buffy swallowed hard looked at Spike with tears in her eyes at the thought of what she was about to say
"Spike, I hate you, you are a disgusting horrible thing and I don't know how I could have stayed with you for so long, when I said I loved you I was really thinking of Riley, he is who I really want to be with, not you." She said to him before mouthing 'I'm sorry'
"See Riley I said it and I meant it" She said with a shaky voice "so are you gonna let me go, darling." Riley had a big smile on his face as he thought that he had won
"Tell him, that it just gonna be me, you and the kid, he comes no were near." Buffy turned back to Spike with tears still coming down her face
"Spike you have to go and stay gone, you don't come anywhere near my son because I will be raising him with Riley." She said looking at Spike and she could see the fear in his eyes but could also see that he knew she didn't mean it
"So what do you think about that, then Spike."
"Well what do you want me to say?"
"I want to know the pain that you feel for..." Riley began to stroke Buffys face with his hand; Buffy closed her eyes and shuddered at his touch and then looked at Spike begging him to help her.
Spike could hear the sirens and knew he had to get Buffy out, fast.
"Well I feel hurt, of course hurt and sad yeah so that's how I feel." Waving his hand in front of him trying to show he was serious
"See he's is hurt, so you gonna let me go, my son and I are no good to you if we're dead." Buffy said trying to steady her voice Riley slowly raised his arm but kept the gun at her stomach
"The gun Riley." She said, Spike started to get ready to take Riley down Riley slowly raised the gun, as soon as she had enough space, she ran out towards Spike and behind him as he tackled Riley to the floor and started punching him,
"You think you can touch her fucker, she's mine you hear me, you go near her again I'll fucking rip your heart out" Spike shouted as he hit Riley
The sound of sirens could be heard and Spike climbed off Riley once he was slipping in to unconsciousness and ran to Buffy as the police came up and grabbed Riley, who was waking up
"Oh Buffy, its ok baby, I've got you, you're safe its ok." Spike whispered as she cried into his shoulder, the police past a hugging Buffy and Spike as they took Riley away
"This is not over Buffy it will never be over." Was the last thing he said before they heard the policeman read Riley his rights
"Riley Finn I'm arresting you for kidnap, attempted murder and possession of a lethal weapon you have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law..." Was all Buffy and Spike heard before a policewoman came over to Buffy.
"Are you ok miss." The woman said as Spike still held her in his arms Buffy just nodded slowly as her face was still in Spikes shirt
"Ok a paramedic will be over shortly to check on you." She said glancing up at Spike.
As she walked away Angel, Faith, Dawn, Willow and Xander ran up to them,
"Oh god, Buffy are you ok." Angel said as they all looked at her
Buffys crying had turned into sniffles as she turned around in Spikes arms not wanting to be apart from him she pressed her back into his chest to make sure he knew not to let go of her
"Yeah I'm fine, just a little shocked, I cant believe he did that to me, I thought I'd got through to him, I never thought Riley would hurt me like that."
"Well the wanker will rot in jail now." Spike spat out
"But, he was so strong, I couldn't move, it was like he had a control over me."
"Who called the police." Willow asked confused as she knew that none of them did as the were busy fighting the vamps then the came straight to the roof as Angel followed Spikes scent
"I did," Spike said simply
"You called the police." Buffy said looking up at him "I would have thought you would have wanted to kill him."
"Oh I did, but I knew you wouldn't have wanted that and I just thought what would Buffy want and, just did it on the way."
Buffy listen to him and snuggled herself further into his chest and smiled knowing that she was safe.
"Thank you, god I cant believe he threatened to shoot me, my baby, I have never been so scared in my life."
"Yeah, me neither," Spike said looking up as he saw the paramedic approach them.
"Hi, my names Josh, are you hurt in any way are you felling any pain in your stomach," He asked as he signal for Buffy to sit down to examine her
"No, but I'm feeling a bit numb in the top of my arm." She said rubbing it
"Ok, lets take a look at it." He said moving the dress out of his way to look at her arm
"Oh my well it looks like, he injected you with something." He said
"WHAT!!!" Spike roared
"This looks like a needle prick." He said as Spike jumped up and inspected it
"So there is something in your system, now we know were that control was coming from,
Spike ran his hands threw his hair as he started to get worried again
"We have to get you to the hospital, now." He said pulling her up as the all made there way down stairs and off the roof.
*~*~*~*~*
Once they all got to the hospital it was Spike shouted and argued with whoever tried to confront him about Buffy getting a doctor straight away, once the doctor took some tests she said that it was a tranquilliser and that's why he was able to control her and keep her from moving, but it hadn't harmed the baby and she was going to be fine so Buffy and Spike went home and enjoyed the rest of there wedding day alone at home.
Angel and Faith went back to the hotel and went straight up to bed to get as much ' together' time as possible before the spell ended, Angel and Faith lay in bed together in each other's arms
"Do you think B will be ok?" Faith asked as she looked into Angel's eyes
"Yeah, she strong anyway I don't think Spike will be letting her out of his sight for to long," Angel said back
"Yeah, her getting taken like that really shook him up."
"Yeah, if something like that happened to you well..."
"Well nothing like that is going to happen to me, so don't think about it ok" She said snuggling into his chest listening to his heartbeat
"I'm gonna miss this sound."
"Yeah me to," Angel said looking out the window
"Suns gonna rise, do you wanna watch it with me." Angel said looking down at her
"Ok" She said getting up and grabbing Angel's shirt while Angel grabbed his trousers
They made there way up to the roof, Angel stood behind Faith wrapping his arms around her waist and stood and watch the sun rise, together for probably the last time.
"What time is it." Angel asked
"Five."
Angel in that moment had completely forgotten that the spell ended in a few seconds
"Faith, this is the happiest I have been in a while, this is perf...AHHHHHH"
Angel said as the sun started to burn him and he had just said that he was PERFECTLY HAPPY.
"Angel what wrong," Faith said worried as she reach out to him but he pushed her hand away
"Get away from me" He growled
"Angel" She started to plead
"GO!!!" He shouted
Faith backed off as she had a feeling what was going on, not wanting to call Buffy and Spike she could think who to call, then it came to her Willow
If Faith was right and Angel had lost his soul, she would need Willow to put it back, Faith stopped and thought for a second as the thought of losing Angel made her feel sick so she ran and grabbed the phone and dialled
"Hello" Kennedy answered sleepily "Kennedy put Willow on the phone quick." Faith said looking around to make sure Angelus hadn't come down "Faith what's wrong its 5 o'clock in the morning?" Willow said sleepily "Angelus is back." She simply said
"I'm on my way." Willow said hanging up
Faith didn't want them to come with him on the lose so she grabbed a stake and ran up stairs, She didn't want to hurt him because she knew that underneath Angelus wan Angel, the man she loved, but she also knew Angelus could hurt her and she had to protect herself She went to the top floor to find Angel in the corner she raised her stake and walked towards him
Angel looked up at her suddenly and to Faiths surprise he had tears in his eyes
"Oh right I supposed to fall for that" Faith shouted at him angry that he would use her feeling for Angel against her
"Faith please its me"
"Oh right do think I'm stupid." Faith said shaking her head
"Faith please just listen to me, I don't know what happened, it felt like I was losing my soul but I didn't, I was perfectly happy but I'm still me."
"Oh yeah prove it, go down to the basement and let me chain you up" She said still holding the stake above her head
"Fine" Angel said walking past Faith slowly and walking down to the basement Faith was confused, she didn't know wither to believe him or not, it sounded like Angel, but she knew all to well that Angelus could play Angel as well as Angel could play Angelus.
So she followed him keeping an eye on him, Once they got down to the basement Angel put one of the shackles one his wrist and waited for her to put the other one on Faith walked up slowly and used on hand to put the shackle on still holding the stake; once they were locked she backed off quickly
"Does this prove anything to you," Faith didn't answer, she just looked at him
"Faith its me really, Faith I love you" Angel pleaded
"Don't, don't say that don't make me feel anything for you until I'm sure its you." She said shaking her head running up stairs as she heard Willow run in Faith walked up and called Willow down
"Will, down here" She called up
"Wow, you got him tied up" Willow said followed by Kennedy
"No actually he got himself tied up, he volunteered." Faith said looking at him
"Ok, picture me confused last time I checked Angelus was more into the killing rather then the tying,"
"Well he says its Angel but..."
"Faith did you and Angel, you know."
"No well yes I mean, he was human at the time but we weren't screwing when he started screaming and telling me to go"
"Well then it must be Angel, no perfect happiness"
"I was perfectly happy." Angel said to them but looking at Faith
"Why, what were you doing?" Kennedy asked confused
"We, we were watching the sun rise." Faith said remembering the amazing moment that the shared
"And as I said I was perfectly happy but I didn't lose my soul, I think its got something to do with the spell, you know the human spell, it ended the same time I felt like I was losing my soul" Angel told them
"Ok, I'll call Giles he is the one who got the spell." Willow said running back up stairs with Kennedy Faith started to follow before Angel called her back
"Faith, you see its me right." Angel said in a pleading voice
"I want to believe its you, and some part of me does, but Angel has tricked me before and I know Angelus wouldn't hesitate to use my feeling for you against me, so I can't take any chances." She said not looking at him once before going up the stairs
*~*~*~*~* About half an hour later Giles ran through the door holding some spell ingredients
"Ok I think I have an idea what is going on but I need Willow to do this spell before I know for sure." He said running down to the basement as Willow Faith and Kennedy followed him
Once the got down stairs, Angel was standing with his head in his chest, when he heard footsteps his head shot up
"Faith." He called out
"Angel, we have to do this spell on you to see if my speculations are precise." He said walking towards Angel and sprinkling some power on his head before backing of
"Revealé" Willow said and almost instantly Angel started to glow with a white light
"Just as I suspected"
"What" Faith said coming out of the corner she was leaning in
"Well the white light that you see is Angels soul" Giles said
"So he is Angel." Faith said starting to walk towards Angel
"Yes but the fact that the light is making Angel glow is the important thing, see if the white light was flashing it signifies the curse but the fact that its not flashing means that Angels soul is anchored." Giles said taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes
"What, Anchored." Faith said while unchaining Angel she turned to Angel and hugged him quickly whispering, "I'm sorry" Into his ear
"Yes, this means it is permanent, you can not lose it" Giles said
"Wow, this is wow." Faith said looking up Angel
"Well if that's all I think we'd better..." Giles said looking at Willow and Kennedy as thy could all see Angel and Faith wanted to be alone
"Yeah bye guys" Faith said as they made there way up the stairs
Faith an Angel were left alone in the basement
"Angel, I'm so sor..." Angel interrupted Faith by crashing his lips to hers
"Its ok, I'm glad you're strong enough to deal if something like that happened."
"But it will never happen now will it, I mean you heard Giles." Faith lifted her hand to Angel's chest placing it over his heart "Permanent" She said pulling him down for a passionate kiss.
*~*~*~*~
Spike and Buffy lay in bed together, just holding each other thankful that they were there in each other's arms other thinking about the events that had happened earlier
"Do you think he would have really hurt me?" Buffy asked him looking up in to his eyes
"I don't know, I hope not, I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you "Spike said in to her hair
"Are you happy about us getting married?" Buffy said hesitantly as she just needed to hear him say it
Spike released his hold on her a bit a her question shocked him
"Buffy how could you even say that, I have never been so unbelievably happy in my entire life, sometimes I think that its all gonna end because nothing on this earth has ever made be feel this lucky. I love you and I love the way you make me feel so alive, even when I was dead. I will never stop loving you, ever." Spike leaned down and kissed her, when he broke the kiss he looked at her and started to chuckle
"What's so funny" She said stroking his face
"I just remembered I have said something like that before." He said with a grin
"Oh yeah, when." She asked him
"Don't you remember luv
I died so many years ago,
But you can make me feel like it isn't so
Spike sang the first couple of lines from the musical a couple of years before that, Buffy started chuckling at him then all of a sudden jumped up to a seating position in his arms. Spike sat up
"Buffy what's wrong." He said as Buffy held her stomach
"Spike sing, sing again anything just sing." Buffy said grabbing his hand and laying it on her stomach
Spike thought for a second then the last song he had heard popped in to his head
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
All of a sudden Spike stopped singing and jumped as he felt a strong rippling movement under his hand. Buffy started screeching excitedly "Hey was that..." Spike started
"The baby Spike he moved. The baby moves when you sing quick do it again" Buffy said excitedly
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
The baby moved again as Buffy and Spike laughed with happiness.
"Wow this is amazing, wait don't you wanna go to the doctor, he did say..." Spike said a bit worried
"No we'll go tomorrow, and Spike, Aeorsmith, really" Buffy said raising her eyebrows at his choice off song
"Well, when I hear the words of that song, I always think of you" Spike said
"Finish the song, our baby wants to hear his daddy sing and so do I."
She said stroking his face with tears in her eyes, she leaned in and kissed him when the broke apart Spike finished the song, all the while the son moved around after every line the baby moved more When he had finished Spike and Buffy feel into a blissful sleep in each other's arm, completely forgetting everything that had happened with Riley.
AN: Until tomorrow people but for the record I love this song to bits and heres a little hint, He's not done
Chapter Fourteen: Because of you...
Buffy woke up to find her self cradled in someone's lap; this person was rubbing her stomach, She automatically thought it was Spike and snuggled in to the embrace
"Spike" She said sleepily still with her eyes closed
"No my sweetheart, its me Riley." Riley said stroking her hair
Buffy jumped at the sound of the voice she was not use to hearing when she woke up
"Riley, what the hell is going on." She said looking around to find she was on a roof of a building
Buffy look down to find that she was still in her wedding dress and Riley was actually stroking her with a gun "Oh my god," Buffy said a she shook with fear and tears came down her face
"Shh, shh its all right Buffy, we'll be ok" Riley simply said Riley said to her
"Riley, let me go, please." She sobbed.
"Oh Buffy, I'll never let you go ever again, you and me were will last forever."
Buffy felt more tears came down her face
They both jumped as the door to the roof burst open and Spike still in his tux ran out.
Riley stood up and pulled Buffy up with him as he moved the gun to her head and his other arm gripped around her neck
"SPIKE!" Buffy screamed
"Hey Spike, what took you so long."
"Let her go." He growled, Buffy whimpered as he dug the gun in to her head harder and chuckled at Spike
"If you hurt her I swear to god..."
"You'll do what, you see Spike this is just a little pay back, see everything that goes wrong in my life is because of you, Buffy and I were fine, then you come along and we broke up because of you, I come back again with my wife and want to see Buffy but I find her with you, then I go again my wife leaves me and I think I'll go to the person I've always loved and I FIND HER WITH YOU."
"Look I don't give a piss about your wife, just let mine go" Spike spat at Riley as he started to get angry
"See that seems a little unfair to me, all the shit you have done to her over the years and you get to marry her, all I did was love her and try to protect her but she still ends up marrying you."
"If you love her so much why have you got a gun aimed at her head, why would you want to hurt her."
"Oh well how do you know I'm gonna hurt her first, how do you know I'm not gonna hurt the little guy." He said as he slowly moved the gun down Buffys check, down her side and pressed the barrel in to her swollen stomach.
"OH GOD OH GOD" Buffy screamed as she felt that not only was she gonna die but she would feel her baby die first
"Oh no please, please I'll do anything just don't hurt them, there my world." Spike said as he started to get really worried for their safety
Riley smiled as he held the gun at Buffys stomach "Give her up."
"What" Spike said as he shook with fear
"Give her back to me, leave and never come back."
"I err.." Spike said as he hesitated
He press the gun harder and Buffy decided she would speak up as she started to get desperate
"Riley please if you love me you wont hurt me."
"I have to do this Buffy, for us."
"Err well their wont be an us if I'm dead."
"Fine I'll let you go if you tell him you love me and that you don't love him"
He said looking at Buffy then lifting his head to look at Spike, Buffy looked up at Spike and mouthed, 'I love you.' Just so he knew that what she was about to say she didn't mean, she took a deep breath

"Well what do you want me to say?"
"I want to know the pain that you feel for..." Riley began to stroke Buffys face with his hand; Buffy closed her eyes and shuddered at his touch and then looked at Spike begging him to help her.

"You think you can touch her fucker, she's mine you hear me, you go near her again I'll fucking rip your heart out" Spike shouted as he hit Riley
The sound of sirens could be heard and Spike climbed off Riley once he was slipping in to unconsciousness and ran to Buffy as the police came up and grabbed Riley, who was waking up
"Oh Buffy, its ok baby, I've got you, you're safe its ok." Spike whispered as she cried into his shoulder, the police past a hugging Buffy and Spike as they took Riley away

"I'm gonna miss this sound."
"Yeah me to," Angel said looking out the window
"Suns gonna rise, do you wanna watch it with me." Angel said looking down at her
"Ok" She said getting up and grabbing Angel's shirt while Angel grabbed his trousers
They made there way up to the roof, Angel stood behind Faith wrapping his arms around her waist and stood and watch the sun rise, together for probably the last time.
"What time is it." Angel asked
"Five."
Angel in that moment had completely forgotten that the spell ended in a few seconds
"Faith, this is the happiest I have been in a while, this is perf...AHHHHHH"
Angel said as the sun started to burn him and he had just said that he was PERFECTLY HAPPY.
"Angel what wrong," Faith said worried as she reach out to him but he pushed her hand away
"Get away from me" He growled
"Angel" She started to plead
"GO!!!" He shouted
Faith backed off as she had a feeling what was going on, not wanting to call Buffy and Spike she could think who to call, then it came to her Willow
If Faith was right and Angel had lost his soul, she would need Willow to put it back, Faith stopped and thought for a second as the thought of losing Angel made her feel sick so she ran and grabbed the phone and dialled
"Hello" Kennedy answered sleepily "Kennedy put Willow on the phone quick." Faith said looking around to make sure Angelus hadn't come down "Faith what's wrong its 5 o'clock in the morning?" Willow said sleepily "Angelus is back." She simply said
"I'm on my way." Willow said hanging up
Faith didn't want them to come with him on the lose so she grabbed a stake and ran up stairs, She didn't want to hurt him because she knew that underneath Angelus wan Angel, the man she loved, but she also knew Angelus could hurt her and she had to protect herself She went to the top floor to find Angel in the corner she raised her stake and walked towards him
Angel looked up at her suddenly and to Faiths surprise he had tears in his eyes
"Oh right I supposed to fall for that" Faith shouted at him angry that he would use her feeling for Angel against her
"Faith please its me"
"Oh right do think I'm stupid." Faith said shaking her head
"Faith please just listen to me, I don't know what happened, it felt like I was losing my soul but I didn't, I was perfectly happy but I'm still me."
"Oh yeah prove it, go down to the basement and let me chain you up" She said still holding the stake above her head
"Fine" Angel said walking past Faith slowly and walking down to the basement Faith was confused, she didn't know wither to believe him or not, it sounded like Angel, but she knew all to well that Angelus could play Angel as well as Angel could play Angelus.
So she followed him keeping an eye on him, Once they got down to the basement Angel put one of the shackles one his wrist and waited for her to put the other one on Faith walked up slowly and used on hand to put the shackle on still holding the stake; once they were locked she backed off quickly
"Does this prove anything to you," Faith didn't answer, she just looked at him
"Faith its me really, Faith I love you" Angel pleaded
"Don't, don't say that don't make me feel anything for you until I'm sure its you." She said shaking her head running up stairs as she heard Willow run in Faith walked up and called Willow down
"Will, down here" She called up
"Wow, you got him tied up" Willow said followed by Kennedy
"No actually he got himself tied up, he volunteered." Faith said looking at him
"Ok, picture me confused last time I checked Angelus was more into the killing rather then the tying,"
"Well he says its Angel but..."
"Faith did you and Angel, you know."
"No well yes I mean, he was human at the time but we weren't screwing when he started screaming and telling me to go"
"Well then it must be Angel, no perfect happiness"
"I was perfectly happy." Angel said to them but looking at Faith
"Why, what were you doing?" Kennedy asked confused
"We, we were watching the sun rise." Faith said remembering the amazing moment that the shared
"And as I said I was perfectly happy but I didn't lose my soul, I think its got something to do with the spell, you know the human spell, it ended the same time I felt like I was losing my soul" Angel told them
"Ok, I'll call Giles he is the one who got the spell." Willow said running back up stairs with Kennedy Faith started to follow before Angel called her back
"Faith, you see its me right." Angel said in a pleading voice
"I want to believe its you, and some part of me does, but Angel has tricked me before and I know Angelus wouldn't hesitate to use my feeling for you against me, so I can't take any chances." She said not looking at him once before going up the stairs
*~*~*~*~* About half an hour later Giles ran through the door holding some spell ingredients
"Ok I think I have an idea what is going on but I need Willow to do this spell before I know for sure." He said running down to the basement as Willow Faith and Kennedy followed him
Once the got down stairs, Angel was standing with his head in his chest, when he heard footsteps his head shot up
"Faith." He called out
"Angel, we have to do this spell on you to see if my speculations are precise." He said walking towards Angel and sprinkling some power on his head before backing of
"Revealé" Willow said and almost instantly Angel started to glow with a white light
"Just as I suspected"
"What" Faith said coming out of the corner she was leaning in
"Well the white light that you see is Angels soul" Giles said
"So he is Angel." Faith said starting to walk towards Angel
"Yes but the fact that the light is making Angel glow is the important thing, see if the white light was flashing it signifies the curse but the fact that its not flashing means that Angels soul is anchored." Giles said taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes
"What, Anchored." Faith said while unchaining Angel she turned to Angel and hugged him quickly whispering, "I'm sorry" Into his ear
"Yes, this means it is permanent, you can not lose it" Giles said
"Wow, this is wow." Faith said looking up Angel
"Well if that's all I think we'd better..." Giles said looking at Willow and Kennedy as thy could all see Angel and Faith wanted to be alone
"Yeah bye guys" Faith said as they made there way up the stairs
Faith an Angel were left alone in the basement
"Angel, I'm so sor..." Angel interrupted Faith by crashing his lips to hers
"Its ok, I'm glad you're strong enough to deal if something like that happened."
"But it will never happen now will it, I mean you heard Giles." Faith lifted her hand to Angel's chest placing it over his heart "Permanent" She said pulling him down for a passionate kiss.
*~*~*~*~
Spike and Buffy lay in bed together, just holding each other thankful that they were there in each other's arms other thinking about the events that had happened earlier
"Do you think he would have really hurt me?" Buffy asked him looking up in to his eyes
"I don't know, I hope not, I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you "Spike said in to her hair
"Are you happy about us getting married?" Buffy said hesitantly as she just needed to hear him say it
Spike released his hold on her a bit a her question shocked him
"Buffy how could you even say that, I have never been so unbelievably happy in my entire life, sometimes I think that its all gonna end because nothing on this earth has ever made be feel this lucky. I love you and I love the way you make me feel so alive, even when I was dead. I will never stop loving you, ever." Spike leaned down and kissed her, when he broke the kiss he looked at her and started to chuckle
"What's so funny" She said stroking his face
"I just remembered I have said something like that before." He said with a grin
"Oh yeah, when." She asked him
"Don't you remember luv
I died so many years ago,
But you can make me feel like it isn't so
Spike sang the first couple of lines from the musical a couple of years before that, Buffy started chuckling at him then all of a sudden jumped up to a seating position in his arms. Spike sat up
"Buffy what's wrong." He said as Buffy held her stomach
"Spike sing, sing again anything just sing." Buffy said grabbing his hand and laying it on her stomach
Spike thought for a second then the last song he had heard popped in to his head
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
All of a sudden Spike stopped singing and jumped as he felt a strong rippling movement under his hand. Buffy started screeching excitedly "Hey was that..." Spike started
"The baby Spike he moved. The baby moves when you sing quick do it again" Buffy said excitedly
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
The baby moved again as Buffy and Spike laughed with happiness.
"Wow this is amazing, wait don't you wanna go to the doctor, he did say..." Spike said a bit worried
"No we'll go tomorrow, and Spike, Aeorsmith, really" Buffy said raising her eyebrows at his choice off song
"Well, when I hear the words of that song, I always think of you" Spike said
"Finish the song, our baby wants to hear his daddy sing and so do I."
She said stroking his face with tears in her eyes, she leaned in and kissed him when the broke apart Spike finished the song, all the while the son moved around after every line the baby moved more When he had finished Spike and Buffy feel into a blissful sleep in each other's arm, completely forgetting everything that had happened with Riley.
AN: Until tomorrow people but for the record I love this song to bits and heres a little hint, He's not done
