Angel watched from the shadows as the funeral was coming to
an end. He couldn't save her, he couldn't love her, and he couldn't show
her the world. It was too late; he left her alone for too long. Angel
waited until dark fall then he headed back to the office.
Weeks past since the funeral and Angel didn't talk to anybody about the incident. Connor walked in to the office, and placed papers on the desk. "The case is over, and I am off for a week." Angel smiled and nodded. "Good, you deserve some time off." "Maybe you should do the same." Connor replied. "I can't afford to take time off." Connor put his hands in his pocket. "Maybe you should talk about Jess-"Angel stood up. "I don't want to talk about it Connor." "Maybe--." Angel grew angrier "Connor. I mean it." Connor nodded. "Alright. I'm going to go. I'll come by tomorrow." Angel nodded and watched his son leave his office.
Angel turned around and saw something that he couldn't believe. Doyle was sitting on his desk looking at a picture; it was a picture of Jessica. "You know, you always pick the pretty ones don't ya?" Angel walked over to him. "Doyle?" He smiled. "Yes. I know a big shocker, but I've come to help you." "Help me?" Doyle nodded. "Of course, do you actually think I would let my friend be unhappy?" Angel was a little bit taken aback. "How did you come back?" Doyle stood up. "I'm not back, I'm just back for a little bit, The Powers that Be think you need a little break. So I'm here to give you that." Angel nodded. "Well, there's nothing you can do." Doyle smiled. "Are you sure about that?" Angel looked up. "I'm going to give you a choice, I can give you your humanity back or I can turn the wheels of time, and take you back in the past Jessica will be there, Joe never would of taken her, so it's your choice." Angel nodded. "I want. Jessica." Doyle nodded. "I figured as much." Doyle then disappeared.
Angel woke straight up in his bead, he looked around at his surroundings, and he was in the hotel, in his room. Angel got up from his bed, and walked out. Angel went down the stairs and saw a vision of something he didn't believe. Jessica looked up and saw him, and smiled. Angel saw she was seventeen years old. "Angel. Where have you been?" Angel smiled. "I've been, upstairs." Jessica rolled her eyes. "Well you promised, you would walk me out so come on." Jessica grabbed his hand and dragged him out.
Angel looked over at Jessica as they walked down the street, Jessica grabbed his arm, Angel stopped and when he did so did Jessica. "Is something wrong?" Jessica asked. "Yeah, I mean no. I need to ask you something. Are you and I in love?" Jessica smiled. "What? Angel. Are you feeling okay?" Angel nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine. Are we?" Jessica crossed her arms. "Angel, you know as well as I do, that I'm dating--." Then someone wrapped their arms around Jessica and kissed her on the cheek. "Hey Dad." Connor held onto to Jessica as Angel stood there in disbelief. "Thanks for walking her." Connor then looked at Jessica, but she was staring at Angel trying to look into his eyes. "Let's go." Connor said Jessica nodded. "Bye Angel." Jessica said as she left with Connor leaving Angel there, alone.
