Chapter Fifty-one: Advise



4 years later



Buffy, Spike, 9 year old Alex and the 4 year old twins Katie and Jamie lived happily in there home, but all was not well in the group, Buffy was still oblivious to the fact that Angel wanted her back and even though Faith and Wood lived together, they didn't sleep in the same room, Wood knew Faith still had feelings for Angel, no matter how much she denied it. Everyone except Spike didn't know how Angel felt towards Buffy. Spike didn't bother telling Buffy because he didn't want to risk her saying he was paranoid and not believing him, he knew she enjoyed Angel coming round as a friend and helping her out, he didn't want to upset her.

Faith saw Angel nearly everyday, much to Robins dislike, and one day she realised she wanted to know once and for all if they ever had a chance together again.

Faith walked in to the hotel, a spotted Angel walking about.

"Faith, hey." He said.

"Hey, err can I talk to you for a second?" She said walking over to him.

"Sure, what's on your mind?"

"You" She said simply looking into his eyes .

Angel took a deep breath

"Faith I..."

"Look I know we haven't been together for a long time but... do you ever think that me and you could..."

Angel took hold of Faiths hands

"Faith we, me and you, we had good times together, but, I think we should leave that in the past. I think we're much better as friends, a part of me still loves you but, recently I've realised I'm still in love with someone else."

'Buffy.' He thought.

'Cordelia' Faith thought as he let go of her hands.

"Ok, at least you set my head straight you know, and I might see how things work with Robin, and you, I think you should go for it, with the girl your still in love with, go for it."

"You think so?" He said

"Yeah, I think she still loves you too." Faith said playfully punching him in the arm.

"I'm going to go and see her now, thanks Faith." He said grabbing his coat and running out.

"Anytime" She said to herself.

Buffy was making a drink for the twins when she heard the door, she walked over and opened it and smiled at Angel.

"Hey, come in." She said.

"Hi Buffy, how you doing?" Angel said almost nervously.

"Fine, thanks, just got to give Katie and Jamie their drinks, you can take Katie if you want, if you take Jamie, Alex will want to play, and we do not want that" Buffy said handing Angel Katie's drink.

Angel looked down at Buffy and smiled. 'This is how it can by everyday, we'd be a family.' Angel thought happily.

15 minutes later Angel and Buffy came downstairs.

"Ugh" Buffy said slamming herself down on the couch.

"Thought you said she only wanted a drink." Angel said sitting next to her.

"She did, why what did she do?" Buffy said knowing what her daughter was like

"She somehow managed to get me to read her 3 different books." Angel said leaning back on the couch with Buffy.

"Did she do the pout and the puppy eyes and the little angelic voice." Buffy said.

"Yeah, nearly broke my unbeating heart."

"You shouldn't fall for that, she got that from me apparently." Buffy said giggling.

"I could defiantly see you in her, she looks just like you, beautiful." Angel said gazing at her.

"Oh stop, I'm blushing." Buffy said hitting him on the shoulder.

They both laughed then Angel stopped and looked at her smiling.

"You are beautiful you know." He said.

"Thank you" Buffy said.

"Buffy can I ask your advice?" He said sitting up and facing her.

"Sure" Buffy said sitting up a facing him.

"Umm, see there's this girl that I used to be with, and I fell in love with her but under some circumstances we broke up, and when I got with Faith, I knew I still loved her but I thought that I could live without her, but I don't think I can. Recently she been on my mind all the time and I cant get it to stop, and really I don't want it to, I want to spend the rest of my life with her. Faith told my to go for it, but there are some obstacles, and I don't know if she'll take me back." Angel said sincerely looking in to her eyes hoping she'll get the point.

'Aww Angel wants Cordelia back.' Buffy thought.

"Well first of all I think Faith is right and you should go for it, despite the obstacles if you really love this... girl." Buffy said with a knowing smile.

"You should defiantly go for it, be happy and I'm certain you could make her happier then anybody else ever could." She said putting her hand on his.

"Thank you" Angel said before leaning in and kissing Buffy.

Buffy pushed him away but it was too late because behind them stood a very, very furious Spike.
