A week had passed and Angel and Buffy had decided to take it easy. Angel was still trying to work through his feelings about Cordelia's death but he was also trying to walk through his feelings for Buffy. He had been visiting Buffy and his children frequently in the past week, just enjoying being with them.

Buffy was happy he was getting to know them but she was feeling bad because tomorrow she had to go back to Sunnydale. Eliza couldn't miss any more school and she was dying to find out what the prophecy was. Now all she had to do was approach Angel about this.

She was at the moment sitting in Angel's room watching a cartoon with Eliza and Angel. The twins were asleep in another room and Eliza; Buffy could see was nearly asleep watching the cartoons. She sighed and watched Angel turn and see her looking at Eliza. He smiled still reeling in being a father and picked Eliza up and carried her out into another room to sleep.

When he came back Buffy was getting up not really sure what she was still doing in the room. Angel walked over to where she was trying to leave and stopped her. He took her hand and walked her back to the bed and sat her down.

He looked her straight in the face and said "I want the dream". Buffy face went blank and all she could say was "Huh?" He smiled and said "This past week has been, well words can't describe how happy I have been. I want it all Buffy. You, Eliza, Joy, Liam, I want everything." Buffy bit her lip and said "But what about here, we both have responsibilities." Inside Buffy's head she was yelling at him to not believe her, just say those words, the ones she needed to hear.

As if hearing her thoughts he took both her hands and said "I love you Buffy and my responsibility is to you, not because of the children but because your you. You're the one that will save the world even if it means giving up what you love. You care so much that you will give up on everything just to help someone else. You're smart, your beautiful, your sexy; You're the mother of my children. You saved me but most of all you're my soul mate. So the responsibilities you are talking about are staring at me right in the face."

She felt tears build in her eyes and she took her hands out of his and reached up and took his face in her hands and pulled him closer to her lips and said just before kissing him "God I love you". The kiss was sweet and tender trying to just let each other know they were there. Then Buffy licked his lip and he allowed her tongue to enter to play. They continued to kiss until Angel pulled back when he felt her hand slip lower.

He stared her in the eye and said "You sure?" She smiled and kissed him again and said "What do you think?" He pulled back again and said "If we do this Buffy, I won't be able to let you go". She looked him carefully in the eyes and said "Then don't!"
