Summary: Set right after "Surprises" and right before "Innocence". Angel doesn't lose his soul and become evil. And Buffy turns 18 not 17. And it's their senior year. But something else happens.

Chapter 1:

Buffy and Angel were lying next to each other completely sated after a long night of loving. Buffy sits up to lean on her elbows. Angel turns his head to look at her. He reaches a hand up to brush her hair away from her face.

"I love you," Angel whispered.

Buffy leaned down and kissed him. "I love you too," She whispered against his lips.

He grins and pulls her down to lay on his chest. She snuggled into his neck ready to go back to sleep when Angel asked "Don't you have to got school and check in with Giles?"

Buffy shot up and said "Giles. O crap. We forgot to call him and tell him what we found! O God, he's gonna kill me!" She scrambled up and ran around looking for her clothes. Finding her shirt and pants, she discovered they were still soaking wet. She looked over at Angel and saw him laughing his ass off.

(A.N. And what a fine ass it is) She threw her clothes at him and asked/yelled at him "Just what the hell is so funny?"

He kept laughing unable to answer. She glared and then jumped on him. Grabbing his wrists, she pinned them above his head. "Now what is so funny?" She asked again. He leaned up and lightly kissed her. "You do realize you were running around my apartment bare assed?"

She looked down at herself and suddenly realized she was naked. Letting go of one of his wrists, she slapped his chest. With his free hand Angel grabbed the phone on the nightstand. Handing it to her he said "Call Giles and tell him what's up and that you and I are hiding and can't com out till sundown."

Buffy looked at him and said "You're suggesting that I le to my Watcher about where I am so I can spend the day with you." Angel nodded and said "But if you'd rather go to school…"

Buffy kissed him and said "I like the way you think."

She dialed Giles phone number and when he picked up the phone she said "Hey Giles its Buffy."

"Buffy, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"No Giles I'm not hurt. We found the Judge. No assembly required."

"Dammit!" Are you sure?"

"Yea. He tried to kill us. But Angel got us out." She looked down at Angel and smiled.

"Angel, is he alright?"

"Yea, Giles we're both okay. We're hiding right now and can't get out till sundown."

"Crap. Well when you get out, come to the library. Xander has an idea."

Buffy was taken aback "Xander has an idea? Wow. That's surprising."

Giles laughed and said "I know. He, Cordelia, Willow and Oz are going to get whatever he needs to get.

Buffy frowned "Why does he need Cordy and Oz?"

"I don't rightly know actually. He's being very hush-hush about it."

"Xander being secretive? Now I'm scared."

Giles laughed. "I'll make your excuses for you to the school and stay safe."

Buffy grinned and said "We will. By Giles."

"Bye Buffy."

Buffy hung up the hone and looked down at Angel. He was staring at her with an intense look on his face.

"What is it?" Buffy asked.

Continuing to stare at her he answered "I'm wondering how I got this lucky."

Buffy grinned and said "Well it started with you stalking me. And then…"

She squealed as Angel flipped her over so she was under him. He kissed her deeply for a couple of seconds. Pulling back he asked "So what do you want to do today?"

Buffy grinned and looked down and said "I think I know what you want to do today." He laughed and kissed her again.

Sunset

Angel looked over at the clock and then at Buffy who was sleeping next to him. After looking at her for a couple of minutes, he woke her by kissing her softly. She groaned and buried her face into her pillow. Angel shook her shoulder lightly and said "Buffy, it's time."

She slightly opened her eyes. "Again, Angel? We've done it four times already."

He blushed and said "I don't mean that. It's time to go meet Giles, remember? The whole Judge who's going to kill anyone who isn't a vampire?"

Buffy sat up, "Oh right. I was having a good dream."

Angel sat up next to her, wrapping his arms around her waist, he asked "Was I in it?"

Buffy nodded and said "We were sitting on a beach watching the moon rise. I looked down and I had a baby in my arms." She looked back at him and continued "It looked just like you." She laughed sadly and got up "It was stupid. We can't have kids. It's ridiculous." She started gathering her clothes when Angel came up behind her and turned her around to look at him.

"It's not ridiculous Buffy." He whispered. "If I could, I would have a million kids with you."

Buffy looked sadly up at him. "Really?"

He gathered her close to him. "Of course Buffy. I love you so much." He kissed her forehead. They stayed there for several minutes, when the front door was opened.
