"So what is going on", asked Gunn as everyone stared at Cordelia

"Like Buffy said Dead Boy and Dead Boy Jr. need to achieve the next level", replied Xander

"So how do we do that and what does it mean", asked Angel

"Basically getting away from Wolfram and Hart, Mister Evil Pants. I die for what three months and everything goes to hell in an plaid hand bag", stated Cordelia as she walked up to Angel

"That is simple enough but what about him becoming human", asked Wesley

"That's where Buffy and Cordelia come in, Buffy was given the knowledge that she had in heaven and Cordelia was allowed to keep hers", answered Xander

"People who have been to heaven know of all the powers and people who are in heaven also have great power", added Willow

"So what the bloody hell does this have to do with us", asked Spike

"Yah and what's this new Apocalypse", added Fred

"Cordy and I are going to be used as human conduits since we've been in heaven, to give power to Spike and Angel", replied Buffy

"So what kind of powers going to be transported", asked Gunn

"Life energy it will leave both Spike and Angel human but with the same strength as they have now", said Cordelia as eight white orbs started flouting around the room

"Okay what or should I ask who are they", asked Angel as he watched the orbs floating above them

"That's where all the power is going to come from but they have to have a couple of hours to form", stated Xander

"It may be a good idea if people get reacquainted with one another", suggested Willow sensing the building tension between the two main couples

"Angel will it be okay if we talk a little alone", asked Cordelia as she looked directly at him

"Lets go to the office", answered Angel

"So Willow may I ask how exactly you brought Cordy back", asked Fred as she and Willow walked over to the counter

"Wesley we knew you'd want to do some reading on this so there are some books near the old weapons cabinet", said Xander as he pointed at the books

"Yes, thank you", answered Wesley as he walked over to the box

"Gunn I think it may be a good idea for us to play some video games or something, I have a feeling there's going to be some arguments", replied Xander as he looked at Gunn

"Sure lately being a lawyer I haven't had much spare time", stated Gunn

"Well nice seeing you Spike but be happy your ass isn't corporeal or Buffy would be kicking it right now", laughed Xander uncomfortably as Gunn and he walked towards Willow and Fred

"Hay luv, how are you", asked Spike finally as Buffy walked past him and out into the dark garden

"Why didn't you believe me", asked Buffy as she sat on a bench and looked directly at Spike

"What, luv", asked Spike confused

"You thought I was lying when I told you I loved you", said Buffy just above a whisper as she wiped at her eyes trying to hide tears

"You where telling the truth", asked Spike as he stared at her is total shock

"Yah when I saw you dying and you wouldn't leave I knew I couldn't let you die with out knowing what I really felt", stated Buffy as she turned her head around so he couldn't see her face

"Buffy luv, please look at me, I'd try and turn you head but I'm kinda not corporeal as the whelp pointed out", said Spike as he walked up to Buffy and bent down so he could look directly in her face

Buffy slowly turned her face to him showing her now tear-stained face, which put Spikes long dead heart through the wringer.

"I'm sorry luv that I didn't believe you, I love you more then any thing I've ever known, I just thought you were trying to make me feel better about sacrificing my life", Spike tried to comfort

"Then I'll say it again I Love you so much and I don't want to loose you again", replied Buffy as Spike sat next to her and they looked out at the night

Angels old Office

"How the hell could you join Wolfram and Hart", asked Cordelia as she sat at Angels old desk

"I had to, I lost you and my son Connor I thought I could at least give him a good life", answered Angel

"Well you didn't, what Lila showed you was an illusion, Connor killed him self and he's in heaven wearing diapers", retorted Cordelia

"Oh", said Angel confused

"Oh, that's all I get how about I'm sorry Cordelia for not investigating your demon haft so we could still be living the happily ever after fantasy", fumed Cordelia

"You know the way to make things better once again", said a soothing old world voice coming from one of the white clouds which had floated into the room

"I know just have to be strong but it's hard Angels suppose to be the broody one", replied Cordelia as the anomaly split in haft and one part left the room while the other lay it self in Cordelias arms

"What is it", asked Angel as features started appearing in the light

"Connor", answered Cordelia as she handed the fully formed baby to Angel

"He's our beautiful son, you brought him back from heaven with you", smiled Angel as he hugged Cordelia with one arm

"I couldn't leave him, I love him and I love you", said Cordelia through tears

"I don't know why I ever joined Wolfram and Hart when they're the ones who created Jasmine and destroyed you and our son", cried Angel as he looked at his family
