Chapter 16: Day of Destiny
Faith looked in the mirror, she slid her hands over her stomach to smooth out the dress. Buffy walked in fully dressed in a bride's maid gown.
"Faith what the hell is taking so long," Buffy asked.
"Just want everything to be perfect," Faith said managing a weak smile.
"What's wrong?" Buffy asked seeing right through.
"I'm just wondering if this is right," Faith said.
"Oh, no. No. No. No. No. No. NO. You are not backing out of this. You've been looking forward to this since the day Angel proposed. No way in hell am I letting you walk out of this and let you regret it for the rest of your life," Buffy said.
Faith turned to look at her, and gave a silent glare of defeat.

Angel sat on the old sofa. He was in his tuxedo. Spike sat beside him. Angel was frightened and excited all at once.
"Are you sure you're making the right choice?" Spike asked.
"What asking you to be my best man?" Angel said sarcastically.
Spike chuckled, "no, marrying Faith."
"Yeah, I'm sure." Angel replied.
"Are you sure she loves you?" Spike asked.
Angel smiled thinking of what she's done to prove that, "yeah I'm sure."
Spike eyed him suspiciously wondering what that tone in his voice meant.
Angel looked at him, "what?"
"What's with that tone in your voice?" Spike asked.
"What tone?" Angel asked quickly.
"The one saying she's done more than her fair share for you," Spike said.
Angel looked dumbfounded.
"Sexual favors?" Spike said.
"None of your business," Angel said still chuckling.
"When's this thing getting' started?" Spike asked.
"Soon, as soon as Buffy gets back and tells me Faith's ready," Angel said.
"You know it's usually customary to-" Spike was cut off.
"I know," Angel said, "Spike, go and check on Connor."
Spike left the room, and went to look for Fred who was babysitting.
