Epilogue

Posted: August 10, 2004

Disclaimer: see previous chapters.

Author's notes: Sorry this is so short, guys. It's the end, and I really don't think it warrants much more than this. Also, sorry for such a long wait. I meant to have this up by the 7th, but my comptuer's being icky, and I've been working my ass off on my new B/A archive.

Comments, suggestions and the like are also welcome!

But don't despair about this being the end! I am thinking about a sequel going something like this, and I got this idea from a film I NEVER ever should have watched. Disgusting doesn't even cover it!

Anyway: Ten years or so in the future (to accommodate someone's suggestion of Xander the Babysitter) Dawn is kidnapped for the high-like feeling her blood gives to demons and vampires (can't remember the word).

What do you guys think? It will be way more complex than that, I can assure you, but that's the outline...

Reader Responses:

Melluvben: my lips are sealed....

Quenn Boadicea: lol, most of your reviews make me laugh. That whole blood thing has always confused me too. And like I told Melluvben, I'm not going to comment on the end of the last chapter. Nope. :D As for the ASH love...yeah....He's awesome!

Out-of-reality: and I thought I was obsessed with this story, lol...I'm sorry, and kinda pleased that I made you cry. I like my ending of chapter fifteen. As for anything about Angel or the epilogue, you will just have to read. I'm not making any comments! As for the Cordy bit, I don't know what it is about her, but I've never really liked her either. Must be because she reminds me of all the popular snobs who made fun of me as a kid.

Thanks to Soulful-Spikes-True-Love for reviewing as well!

Here's your update, and your ending, guys! Please tell me what you think!

Epilogue

Two weeks later, father and daughter were released from the hospital. Dr. Mongrey, a Council representative, had done his job well, and no questions were asked about their admittance situations. She led her family, he in a wheelchair, with their daughter on his lap, to the car.

"I have a surprise for you," she smiled as she helped in into the car, setting the baby in the car seat in the back.

They drove through town, his hand on her upper thigh, and it was all she could do to keep the car on the road.

She pulled into the old part of town, and told him to close his eyes. They pulled to a stop at the end of a long driveway.

She collected the baby from the back, and then helped him inside, careful of his broken ribs. Once inside, she allowed him to open his eyes.

Angel stared in wonder at his old haunt transformed. Light poured through open windows, onto spotless floors. There were simple furniture arrangements in the large front room, but it looked cozy.

"I did the best I could by myself," she said proudly, "Welcome home, Liam O'Connor."

"How-How did you-?"

She smiled up at him secretly, "I have my ways," she reached up tentatively and kissed him softly on the lips, "I love you," she whispered.

"I love you," he returned.
