#6 – Heart's Whispers

"Angel…" Buffy whispered. Her voice was fervent, praying, and hopeful. Still under the thrall of Grace and James's spell, she opened her eyes to look into her former lover's. She blinked when she noticed them shifting from the usual chocolate shade to a steady golden. The love in the air vanished completely when Angelus fell to his knees, groaning in pain and with his game-face on. He looked up angrily.

"No. No. NO!" He yelled. "What have you done to me, bitch?" He hissed at Buffy.

His eyes shifted back to the cocoa shade they always had, and Angelus fainted. Buffy, forgetting for a minute that he wasn't Angel anymore, panicked and sat next to him, cradling his head on her lap.

"Angel. ANGEL!"


Drusilla hummed tunelessly, sitting on the fountain. The vision struck her so hard she lost her balance and fell in the water. Spike rolled to her side, helping his now wet dark princess to get out of the fountain. Tears trickled down her pale cheeks, and she hid her face on Spike's lap.

"What's wrong, Ducks? Why are you crying?" He asked worried. Drusilla lifted up her face to look at her lover, her glazed blue eyes full of fresh tears.

"That damned Slayer… The bitch… She destroyed our family again, my Spike", she whispered. "She took my daddy away… She made my daddy hers once again… The stars are telling me he won't be back, never again".

Spike smirked.

"It's okay, Dru", he soothed her. "I promise, we'll kill her, and I'll bath you in her blood. And we'll send that Poof to hell with her".

"You promise me?" Dru whispered brokenly.

"Of course, Ducks".


His fluttering eyelids filled Buffy with relief. She stiffened when she recalled this wasn't her Angel, but looked at that confused face, trying to memorize all his beautiful features. 'This might be the last time I hold him in my arms…' she thought. However, as his eyes came into focus, love shone into them.

"Beloved…" he whispered, sitting up. Buffy looked astonished at him. 'Did he call me beloved?' She asked herself. "Baby, what's going on?"

Tears filled the now green eyes.

'Oh, my God… It's him…'

"Angel!" She exclaimed, throwing herself at him. He caught her the best he could, being not up and a little dizzy, and kissed her golden head. "Oh, thank you, thank you, God!" She prayed thankfully.

"Have you been eating?" He asked, feeling her thinner. His hands ran up and down her spine, trying to calm her, as he felt his velvet shirt getting wet from her tears. "Hey, why are you crying?" He asked, lifting her head so she could look at him. She chose not to reply, attacking his lips passionately.

"Buffy…" He said after their kiss was over. "I feel like I haven't seen you in months", he whispered. "Isn't it strange? I mean, you were with me last night".

Buffy looked up at him with wide eyes.

"You don't remember anything?" She asked confused.

"No. Well… I know for a fact I made you mine", he smiled softly. She blushed adorably and wiped her tears.

"Can you walk, honey?" She asked. He nodded wearily and got up, after she left his lap, where she had been nestled all the time. He took a minute to look at himself.

"Why am I dressing this…? Oh, God" He looked lost. "Buffy!" He tore his shirt open, took her hand and put it over his heart.

It was beating, in a steady thump-thump.

"Oh, God", she echoed, tears refilling her eyes. She hugged him tightly. 'They gave me him back, they gave me a human Angel', she thought. She looked at him with a happy sparkle in her eyes. "Come on, baby, let's get out of here".


Xander, Cordelia, Willow, Oz, Giles and Jenny were shocked – to say the least – when the slayer walked out of Sunnydale High School building glued to the hip with her new nemesis. The fact that Angel was shirtless didn't escape the astonished eyes of Buffy's six friends.

Xander was the first to recover.

"What are you doing with him?" He cried. Angel looked curiously at him.

"She's my girlfriend, why wouldn't she be with me?" He asked. Cordelia noticed Buffy shaking her head frantically to the dark-haired boy and put her hand over his mouth.

"You shut up", she hissed. Giles looked at Buffy.

"Can you tell us what's going on?"

"He is not Angelus anymore", Jenny said suddenly. Everyone looked at her confused, while Buffy busied Angel with some kisses and touches.

"How can you tell?" Willow asked.

"His aura is different…" Jenny answered. Cordelia noticed Buffy and Angel's PDA and cleared her throat. "Besides, he is blushing right now", she added when they broke apart. The teenagers looked at the former vampire in wonder. "It's safe to say that he is human".

"He is", Buffy confirmed happily. She held up a hand when Giles, Willow and Xander opened their mouths to speak. "And I'll tell you guys what happened tomorrow… or today morning. Just… Give me some time alone with Angel, okay? There are things I must tell him".

Xander opened his mouth, but Cordelia started pulling him towards her car.

"We'll see you tomorrow morning, Buff", she said with a smile. "Come on, Xander, take me home", she stopped for a moment, then looked at Angel with a little smile. "It's nice to have you back".

"Thanks… I guess", he added. Buffy started pulling him away. "Bye".

"Bye".


Joyce was not home when Buffy came in with Angel. The slayer started kissing him hungrily, and he happily obliged, but put a break on their caresses.

"I guess you have some things to tell me…?" He asked hesitantly. "I know you have, because it's now May, and last time I checked we were in January".

Buffy sighed.

"Remember when we made love?" She asked. He smiled a little and nodded. "Well, it triggered a loophole in your curse. Apparently, a moment of peace and perfect happiness would release Angelus", she told him quietly. He breathed in sharply. "No, you didn't kill anyone. At least no one that I know. You've been staying these last months with Spike and Drusilla, and tried to kill Jenny. She's a romani".

"She's a what?" Angel asked. Buffy nodded.

"Well, tonight… This Buffy-and-Angel-from-the-fifties was possessing people. James and Grace. They haunted the school, and James never could rest in peace. Somehow he felt bonded to me, because we both… lost the one we loved. He needed peace of mind… And I needed you back. James possessed me, and Angelus knew I was alone in the school and went to taunt me. However, Grace possessed him, and since you are – were – immortal, when I shot you and you fell down the balcony you didn't die. So Grace could forgive James, and they got their eternal happily ever-after".

"Oh", Angel made. Buffy looked down shamefully.

"I kissed Angelus. But I felt like I was kissing you. I whispered your name… And I don't know how, but Angelus started feeling sick, he fell on his knees and passed out. Then… You were back. You were with me".

"Oh, baby…" He whispered.

"Angel…" She whispered back. "I have a secret to tell you".

"What?"

"I'm pregnant. I don't know how, but we're having a baby", she whispered. Angel's eyes lit up.

"A baby?" He repeated. "Are you sure?"

She nodded, desperate. He beamed at her.

"Oh, darling… It's wonderful! Our baby!"

She relaxed against him.

"Does that mean you're not thinking I cheated on you?"

"Buffy, my love", he caressed her still flat belly. "I don't care how this baby was conceived, but… I feel it's mine. Ours. And I know you're too pure to cheat on me. If you were some kind of whore, Angelus would have raped and killed you instantly. But no. You probably put him on his toes".

She yawned.

"I just wanna sleep. I love you".

"Sleep. I'll be here when you wake up", he whispered.

"This time you will", she said back. "But we sleep, you sleep", she said sleepily. He laid down and she threw her body over his.

"Night, love".

"Night".
