Chapter 4: A New Life Begins

Xander sat on the edge of the bed he and Faith shared. It had been 3 weeks since Faith and Lynda had entered his life. In Faith he had found a soul mate and the woman he would spend his whole Immortal life with. In Lynda it seemed he had found a mother in-law with out even getting married. In his hand he held a diamond ring that his great grandmother had left to him when see pasted away shortly before he became Immortal. Tonight he was going to ask Faith to marry him. "Well time to face the firing squad" he chuckled as he went to the roof to what sun rise which had become a ritual to him and Faith since the day they met.

As he walked on the roof he felt his heart race as he saw his Faith leaning against the wall she smiled as she felt him near her. She turned to him a little shocked that he was blocking her from reading his mind. "Xan is everything ok? She asked worried because of the fact he was hiding something from her.

Xander smiled "Yes Faith everything is fine but I say something to you"

"You can say anything baby"

"Faith since I met you I have felt complete in a way I never thought possible You are quite literally my better half so I want to make sure you stay in my life forever." Xander knelt down on to one knee and pulled the ring from his pocket. "Faith I love you more then any words can describe I may be Immortal but I would rather live only a single day with you then all eternity with out you. So I am asking you Faith Michelle Williams will you marry me?" Faith gasped as it dawned on her that this what he was hiding. She dropped to her knees and wrapped her arms around her Xander as she cried. "Yes" she whispered as he pulled her to him and kissed her. Xander slid the ring over her finger as they stood up and headed back into the house.

Once again they did not see their vampire stalker across the way watching from the tinted windows facing the roof of Methos' home. "That settles in Miss Edith that naughty bitch must die so Mummy can have her Kitten back."

Xander and Faith walked into there room as the kissed and shed their clothes the both felt all the pain in their lives vanish. Together they feel on to their bed as they slowly made love. To say they were having sex didn't fit because what they did had no urgency their movements were only to bring them together in the final act that the had yet to join together in. The pleasure they felt was only a side-effect to the love they were sharing with one another. They knew they were now joined together in every way possible and nothing could ever drive them apart they were now and forever more Xander and Faith a Family a team a pack mates.

It was 8 am and all the Scoobies plus Joyce and Dawn were at the Library because Giles had called an emergency meeting because he had found out where Xander was. All the Scoobies sat at the work table waiting to hear why Giles had called them all out for on a Saturday morning.

"I know your all wondering why I called you here this morning." he began looking as if he was about to blow up with joy. "I called you all here because I've found Xander." The Scoobies responded to this news with a one big cry of WHAT?.
