Chapter Fifty-Eight: Family
Angel watched from the car as Buffy and Spike played with their children, he watched as Spike picked up his little girl and threw her up into the air and caught her. He watched as Alex and Jamie ran around Buffy trying to catch each other as Buffy watched Spike with adoring eyes, the all of a sudden his car door opened he watched as Cordelia climbed in and shut the door.
"Hey." Angel said.
"Oh nice welcome, no welcome back from your travels Cordy, thanks for pulling me out when I ...." Cordelia said looking out the window and watching what Angel was looking at.
"I nearly broke that up Cordy, all because I wanted Buffy."
"But you don't do you, not anymore, what you want is that". She said pointing out the window.
Angel didn't say anything as he watched Alex tackle his father to the floor and Jamie jump on top of them as Buffy and Katie sat on the step laughing.
"I miss him Cordy, what I could have brought him up to be, what we could have..." Angel cut himself off and bowed his head.
"We were a family once, do you remember, me you and Conner before that whole thing with Holtz, I mean I know there was Wes, Gunn, Fred and Lorne to but there was those moments when it was just the three of us, nothing else mattered but our little family." She said holding his hand.
Angel looked up at her with tears in his eyes.
"How are you always able to read my mind?" He said with a slight smile.
"Comes with the package of loving you I guess."
"No, its something else, Buffy couldn't, Faith couldn't but you, and god I love you Cordy."
"Do you, still?"
"Always." He said leaning in for a kiss.
"I love you too Angel, and one day, maybe the powers will give us back a family." She said stroking his face.
"At the moment all I want is you, I don't want Faith and I don't want Buffy's family or Buffy, I want Cordelia Chase, my Cordy." He said looking into her eyes and kissing her again.
"Come away with me for a while, please, I want to be alone with you."
"Sure where?"
Angel took out his phone and press a few numbers, he leaned over and kissed Cordy again before saying: "Get a pilot to the jet, I'm going to Paris" He said looking into Cordelia's eyes and smiling as her face lit up.
Buffy was the only one to notice the car drive away, she shook her head and watched her play out in the sunshine, Katie got up and ran into her fathers arms as he walk towards Buffy. She smiled up at him as she grabbed her hand and brought her up to him.
"Katie's a poo poo head." Jamie said to his sister.
Katie frowned at the insult and squirmed out of her father's arms and ran towards her brothers.
"Jamie's a bigger poo poo head." She yelled pushing him down.
Spike and Buffy were oblivious to the children's antics as the gazed into each other's eyes.
"Wanna go out tomorrow night?" He asked pressing his forehead to hers.
"Sure, I'd love that, we haven't been out together in ages, just you and me, and Faith could baby sit." She said as her arms wrapped around his neck bring him down for a kiss.
"AHHH! MOMMY, DADDY ALEX PUT A WORM IN MY HAIR!" Katie screamed.
Spike and Buffy broke apart still looking at each other.
"Alex." Buffy said in her mother means business tone.
"No I didn't, see it's gone its gone." Alex said frantically taking it out, he didn't want to jeopardise the bike ride he had been promised.
"Yeah, that's what I thought." Buffy said.
"Come on you three, you're going to spend tomorrow night with aunty Faith tonight." Spike said walking up to his kids.
He turned round and let Katie climb on to his back, then he put his right arm around Alex's waist and picked him up under his armpit and his left arm around Jamie and did the same.
Buffy shook her head as he carried all three of them into the house and dropped Alex on the couch first, then Jamie on top of him and Katie on top of him.
Buffy stood back and watched as they all squirmed and tried to get free, Spike then grabbed a blanket off the back of the couch and threw it on top of them.
"Dad, I can't see." Alex whined.
"Daddy Jamie's licking me." Katie whined.
"Daddy Alex is licking his finger and putting it in my ear." Jamie whined.
Buffy scrunched up her face at the last couple of comments, Spike put his finger to his mouth telling Buffy to shush.
"Oh Buffy, I can't see the kids anywhere." Spike said dramatically.
"Me neither Spike, they must have disappeared, oh no, ah well we'll just have to give away all the toys we have upstairs, and all the cookies and candy..." Buffy said.
All of a sudden there was a collective scream as all three kids shouted "NOOOOOOO!" As the struggled their way out of the blanket, they got free and all ran in different directions as Katie ran upstairs to her toys, Alex ran to the candy jar and Jamie ran to the cookie jar.
Buffy and Spike burst out laughing before Spike walked over to Buffy and pulled her into a hug.
"I love this family." He said.
"This family loves you." She said back.
