"Buffy?" Angel had gone outside to find Buffy sitting in the sun. He stepped out into the sun and relished the feel of the warmth on his skin. He was alive, he could feel, and all he wanted to feel was Buffy. "Do you mind if I join you?" Angel treaded softly, not wanting to scare her away.

"Sure. I talked to the Scooby Gang. They are in Cleveland right now. Xander said that he, Willow, and Dawn would join us within the next few days. I have to find a place to stay before then…" She turned around and gasped, "Wow," she whispered, amazed at the sight of Angel in the light from the sun.

Angel sat on the bench next to Buffy. He caught a whiff of Buffy's hair, and his hand brushed hers. If felt like an electric shock had gone through them, and the next thing he knew, Angel leaned down and was kissing Buffy, feeling her like he never was able to before. The moment she felt his lips on hers, Buffy was kissing Angel back.

Angel grabbed her lower lip with his, one hand in her hair, the other on her lower back. Buffy's hands went into Angel's hair, fingers clenching, nails scratching. Their arms squeezed each other. The next thing she knew Buffy was strattled over Angel's lap. Angel's arms were wrapped around Buffy's lower back and Buffy was leaning over Angel as the long never-ending kiss continued.

"Well, It didn't take you two long to get back in the saddle," The spell was broken when Spike spoke, having walked in on them, and then ran out.

"Spike," Buffy answered running after her ex-lover, "You can't be jealous of me and Angel, it was over between us a long time ago. After all of the death that we have faced, I can no longer deny my feelings. Angel's human now, why should we wait?"

"I'm human now two, or am I now just your magic shield?"

"I have always loved Angel. You knew this even when we were together." Just then it felt like a bomb had gone off to send her flying, and when she looked up, it was to see Spike with his hands up, and a clear blue thing that looked like standing water between them.

"Sorry, I guess this is the gift the powers gave me." He stared as he watched Angel walk up and help Buffy up. "I guess I never had your heart the way Angel did. I can accept that." The force field lowered as Spike turned and left the room.

Angel, who's arm was loosely wrapped around Buffy, said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have…"

"No, I liked it. Tomorrow you want to go out and help me find an apartment near here. Leo told me that since I can still use my own identity, I can do that right away, it just needs to be close by just in case. Plus with Dawn coming and everything, I'll need more space. You could stay with us, if you want?"

"Maybe. I was thinking maybe a picnic. You know for lunch out in the sun."

"That would be new for us. Sure. Tomorrow: Picnic and Apartment Shopping. It's a date." Buffy said with her usual spunkiness until she realized what she said. The love spell wraped around the two soul mates and the both leaned in to kiss while Angel whispered in response, "a date sounds great."

Wesley was in the basement with Paige. This moving objects with your mind wasn't nearly as easy as he thought it was going to be. Paige had a table with a plastic cup on it. "Okay Wesley, lets try it again concentrate on the object and just will for it to slide across the table."

Again he tried and again it didn't work. "This is impossible. I mean I live out of my books, which have all been destroyed by evil beings by now. I can fight, but I mean crossbow, sword, steak type fighting. This is impossible!" At that burst of frustration the cup flew off the table and bounced off the far wall. "Wow."

"See you can do it. Every power has its trigger before you actually learn how to really control it." At that Spike stomped down the stairs.

"Oh. Great. Is there not an occupied space in this entire house!"

Paige ran to grab him, "Oh, great you're here. I wanted to experiment with your powers, you know the force field your supposed to be able to generate it."

"Well it worked on Buffy."

"Why did you use a shield against Buffy?"

Wesley stepped in, "Their ex's" in a way that explained everything.

"Oh, well think about what you thought about to create it. Here Wesley stand next to Spike. Try to create the shield around yourself and Wesley and keep me outside it." Spike sighed, but concentrated. The shield opened for a minute and then it disappeared.

"It's just too hard to contain. It's much easier to repel a person with it than actually shield someone with it. I just don't have any experience with it. The only thing I did was use a jewel to destroy the hellmouth in Sunnydale. Long story."

"Don't worry we'll work on it. Look at me. When I first started I could only orb to and from the same spot, and I worked on it and now I can orb all over the world in a split second. Okay let's try it again."

Fred was sitting in the kitchen with Piper and Phoebe with the book working on a potion. Fred, with her science gene, was extremely interested in how the combination of ingredients was volatile, "so is it all magic, or is there some chemistry behind it?"

"Ask piper, she's the super witch with making potions. She used to be a chef. My power is passive, so I started studying martial arts. But yes, a lot of the ingredients have a magic reason for them being. But you have to be experienced to work with the dangerous ingredients. Too much of an ingredient and you could blow up the house."

"Are you sure that I should have visions. Cordy had them and it almost killed her from the headaches that came with them."

"Well the Premonitions that I get aren't painful. The only thing that hurts is when you can feel what's being done to the person in your vision. But it doesn't do anything to you physically."

Fred nodded and was looked at the book, "Wow, so you said that you made this book, created everything in it?"

"Well, we have put in a few things, but most of it was from the witches who have come before us. The women in our family have been witches for over 300 years, going back to Melinda Warren, who was burned at the steak for being a witch in Salem, MA."

"Wow, so when do I get to do a little experimenting?"

Buffy and Angel decided that the only way for them to get rid of the sexual tension that was coming off them in blankets was either sleeping together or training. And Buffy decided that training was the safer of the two choices.

So, the two of them were out in the afternoon sun. They were side by side doing the Ty chi that they had done while Buffy had helped Angel get better after having been trapped in a Hell Dimension. When they turned so that Angel was facing Buffy's back, he couldn't help but reach out and run his arms over hers.

Buffy came to her senses first, "We're supposed to be training." And she walked a step back out of Angel's arms.

"Really, I didn't notice. All I can see is how the sun reflects off your golden hair and how your skin glistens. And all I want to do is touch you. My senses have kind of gone into overdrive since, you know."

"And I want it. I want all of it. But this is moving kind of fast. The last time, it was great, but I also had a mother. Now I am all that Dawn has. If we are going to be something, you know, serious, you have to be sure."

"And I am serious. More than ever. Now I can give you the future that you deserve. I'm human now. I can give you children… Children, oh, Connor." At that Angel collapsed on the ground in tears.

"I can never see my son ever again. I missed so much of his life because Holtz stole him, and now, I'll miss the rest."

"This doesn't mean…"

"You heard them; they said that other than people that you know, we can't be in contact in anyone from our old lives. I'm finally human, and I can't even see my own son." Buffy didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. All she could do was sit on the ground and take Angel into her arms and hold him. He held back with all his might as the two of them just held on to each other.

"You'll see each other again. Technically Connor is someone that I knew, kind of. You'll see him soon."
