"Hay our ghosty friends are coming down", yelled Xander to get everyone to come back in the lobby

"We hear yah", replied Spike as all the groups formed a circle around the white people like forms

"Who's the baby", asked Gunn as the LA Scooby's looked at the baby in Cordelias arms

"It's Connor, Cordy brought him back with her", said Angel with a smile

"That's wonderful", smiled Fred as one of the figures set foot on the ground fully formed and Buffy gave her a hug

"Hi Mom it's good to see you again", stated Buffy as she took a step back

"It's good to see you too but as you know time is of the essence", replied Joyce as she turned her attention to Spike

"What", asked Spike as Joyce was giving him a funny look

"Will you please put your right hand straight in front of you, palm up", answered Joyce and to that Spike complied

Buffy then held her hand just above Spikes none corporeal one. Joyce then put a hand over Buffys, which caused sparks to shoot into Spikes hand.

"Bloody Hell", stated Spike as he jumped backwards slamming into the counter

"You didn't fall through Spike", said Fred as Spike took Buffy into a hard hug

"You may still be a vampire and not need oxygen yet, but I do", laughed Buffy as she hugged him back then let go

"Okay what next", asked Angel

"Come on down the taker of dreams, the taker of lives and the giver of lives", replied Xander in a talk show host voice as the six remaining clouds formed into people

"Father, Darla, Mother", cried Angel to the three that stood in front of him

"Bloody hell, Buffy don't tell me you knew about this", said Spike as he looked at Cecily, Drusilla and his Mother

"Do not blame Miss. Summers she met us all in heaven and we became acquainted. The three of us that have caused you pain have been given the chance to right what we have done. Miss. Summers has given you back your love and me and Miss. Drusilla will give you back your beating heart, since we're the ones who took it", explained Cecily

"This is crazy I'm not excepting anything Drusilla or Cecily have to offer", replied Spike pointedly

"You have to, you have no other choice, what we have to face is worst then anything before", stated Willow

"We keep hearing the worst but what is it", asked Fred as everyone was very confused

"Imagine it Chicago, Sicily, Australia, Paris, Rome every last part of the earth February 26, 2004, every demon that was ever killed there rises again", answered Xander

"What that's got to be trillions", said Gunn as the LA Scooby's sat around the hotel lobby in shock

"It's even higher then that with vampires and evil demons", added Wesley

"And what's even worst is that it includes the Master, Glory, Adam, the bringers, turakan, and the First", stated Buffy as she gently held Spikes hand for a source of comfort

"I know this is difficult for you young ones to understand but you most allow use to make Liam and my William human and ready to fight the upcoming apocalypse", replied Annie as she looked around the room

"So what do we have to do", asked Angel in defeat as he looked at his Father and Mother still in shock

"First you both most be given back your hearts by Cecily and Angels Father, then you most be given the essence of life from your mothers, followed by your lives energy by Drusilla and myself", answered Darla

"Then we have to face the trillions upon trillions of evil, I can see it so clearly the pain, the blood, the tears", cried Drusilla as she was comforted by the three ghosty Mothers

"Don't worry about her she's a seer like Miss. Cordelia", stated Angels Father

"I'm more worried that the blood and tears and if they're ours", retorted Gunn
