Lindsey sat down across from me and just stared into space. I waited a few minutes for him to take in all that happened and then I spoke.
"Lindsey... are you mad at me for making this decision?" He looked up at me and smiled.
"No I'm not. I am just still in shock about the whole thing. I could never be mad at you for wanting to marry the man you love."
"So...will you help us out? He wants to marry as soon as possible. He said he and I will look for a big house for the tiger and for children in the future. We also have to get a license for exotic animals."
"Well, you don't have to get a license. No one has to know you have it."
"You're probably right. We don't need one. I don't want to risk not being able to get one and then having to get rid of Tao."
"Well let's go talk to the others and see what we can do." We went out to the foyer and sat down with the others. I jumped onto Erik's lap and wrapped my arms around his neck. He smiled and kissed me.
"So Alex, what is the plan?" asked Wesley. I looked at Erik and smiled.
"Well, whenever Erik wants to get married is when we do that, and we start looking for a house as soon as possible." I looked at his eyes and just gazed into them. Angel smiled as well as Lindsey.
I took all the stuff I got upstairs and put it in my new room. Erik came up five minutes later and asked if we could go looking for houses now. I was holding Tao at the time and feeding him so I told him I would when I got done. He smiled at how intent I was at getting Tao to drink all the milk in the bottle. I finally got him to drink it all and I put him in my bed and let him go to sleep. I sat next to him while he was falling asleep and stroked his head until he fell asleep. I walked out very quietly and closed the door so he could sleep in peace.
Erik was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, talking to Angel and Lindsey. I went down and wrapped and arm around Erik's waist. He smiled and kissed the top of my head.
"Ready to go? Cordelia found a place on the internet that I think is perfect. And its right outside of the city so it won't take long to get there."
"Ok. I fed Tao and he's asleep right now. Do you think Cordy or someone can take care of him if he starts fussing?" I asked Angel. He laughed.
"He's not a child. If he fusses, he'll get over it." I glared at him.
"Ok. I'll have someone go up there and check on him now and then."
"Thanks dad. Are you coming other dad?" I asked Lindsey. He smiled and nodded his head.
"Sure I'll come. I want to make sure the place is alright for my only little girl."
"Dad, I'm not a little girl anymore."
"I know, I know. I just can't believe you're already grown up."
"Don't worry dad. I'm still here so I can still see you." He nodded again.
"I know." he headed off to the car to get it started. I looked back up at the stairs before I headed out with him and Erik.
