Flashback to the day Gabriel Died
Adriana and Gabriel had just gotten back to the mansion a few minutes ago. She wandered into the kitchen with him closely behind. He turned her around and lifted her up on the counter. She was apparently used to this, because she went along with it. He then kissed her and she kissed him. The sun was rising and his parents would be home soon. No doubt that they probably got sidetracked while slaying as Adriana and Gabriel did. But Adriana stopped it so they could hunt and go home to Gabriel's bed.
A sparkle appeared on Adriana's ring finger. Her engagement ring and wedding band was still on. They obviously didn't care because they were about to head to Gabriel's room when Buffy and Angel O'Connor entered the kitchen. Angel caught the light shining on Adriana's ring and pointed it out to Buffy.
"Gabriel, is there something you'd like to tell us?" Buffy's voice was sweet and innocent but that was when she got the angriest. He broke his kiss with his secret wife to face his mother.
"Oh hi Mom, Dad. How was slaying?"
"Fine, Adriana, maybe you would like to tell us what is on your finger?" Adriana and Gabriel looked down and remembered that Adriana never took her rings off.
"Oh yeah. Mum, Dad, Adriana and I got married about a week and a half ago."
"You WHAT!" Both of his parents screamed.
"We got married. Okay, let me explain since this was my idea. Adriana and I love each other. I mean, Mum was only 18 when she had me so we figured if we love each other enough then why not."
"Adriana, can I talk to you? Angel, darling, can you talk to our demon son please?" Adriana's eyes opened wide with fear. Angel and Gabriel noticed but Buffy didn't. She was too busy mumbling to herself about where she went wrong with raising her son and how Gabrielle was becoming a bad influence.
"Buff, how 'bout I talk to Adriana and you talk to Gabriel?" Gabriel let out a slight sigh of release. He would rather have his father talk to Adriana instead of his mother.
"Fine, whatever, we can each take one. Gabriel follow me into the study." Gabriel and his mother walked off, but not before he picked Adriana up off the counter, stood her on the floor, and kissed her. She whispered something in his ear that only he could hear.
"I love you, so promise you'll come back."
"I promise. I love you too." He whispered.
"Let's GO Gabriel."
"I'm coming, I'm coming. Jeez I can't even kiss my wife now."
"No, you can't…" The sound of their footsteps disappeared.
"C'mon Adriana, let's go to the garden. We can talk in the shade. Don't worry about my son; he can take care of himself."
"How did you know?"
"I felt the same way when Buffy told Giles she was married to me and pregnant. Giles was furious since I'm a vampire and I'm not actually allowed to have children without losing my soul. He didn't even know that there was a potion that made me human for a day with no risks. He talked to her and then threatened me." They arrived in the shady part of the garden. It was sunrise and already warm under the shade.
"Are you going to yell at me like Buffy was yelling at Gabriel?"
"No, believe it or not we are very similar. I don't think that yelling is going to help. It'll just cause a big fight."
"Good, cause I don't like being yelled at."
"Nor do I. You know the only reason Buffy is like this, is because she doesn't want Gabriel to be like my little Gabrielle. She's a wild one just like her God-Mother Faith. Gabriel has always been a Daddy's Boy and Gabrielle has always been a Daddy's Girl. So she's afraid that if Gabrielle acts like this already, maybe he's just a late bloomer or he just knows how to hide it very well."
"He's nothing like his sister. I promise. So are you going to keep us away from each other?"
"Buffy and I couldn't stay away from each other, so I doubt we could make you guys stay apart. Adriana, how much do you love my son? "Adriana slightly smiled.
"I love him more than anything in the world. I would die for him."
"Alright then-"Buffy's scream shot through the air. Angel and Adriana both jumped up and ran. Adriana didn't hear Gabriel scream, but her wedding band was on fire. He was hurt very badly and she needed to get to him fast and immediately. They arrived to the study and Adriana saw the only person that she feared. It was her stepfather Lucius Malfoy. He was standing over Gabriel.
"Lucius! STOP!" He turned around and a smirk appeared on his face.
"Ah, look at my darling little girl. Adriana, how have you been?"
"What the hell are you doing here? Leave Gabriel alone, I'm the one you want."
"No, I already killed your mother and Draco is worried out of his mind about you. Now I need to put you in some more pain."
"Leave my husband alone you BASTARD!"
"Oh Adriana, I'm hurt, you didn't invite me to your wedding." He threw his head back and laughed. Adriana's eyes went completely black. Her body changed into a black wolf about the same time Angel went all vampish. She pounced and knocked Lucius to the ground. She bite his stomach and started pulling out his intestines. He stopped moving and Angel walked to him and started kicking the hell out of him. Adriana changed back to human form and walked over to her husband. She heard whimpering and looked in the corner and saw Buffy huddled up. She couldn't be concerned with her. She smelt no female blood. She only smelt her husband's blood. She checked his pulse, and it was decreasing fast.
"Angel! His pulse is going down." Angel ran to his son when Gabrielle entered the door.
"What hap-? Gabriel! NO!" She shoved her father and sister in law out of the way and started crying over him.
"Move!" Adriana yelled. She got to her beloved's side and started whispering in his ear.
"Gabriel Apollo O'Connor, you promised you'd come back. Please come back. Don't leave me alone. I love you." She gently kissed his lips and placed her head on his chest and lay there. His arm slowly moved around her shoulders.
"Baby, what's going on?" His voice was weak and soft.
"Gabriel! Oh my gosh your alive. Oh thank you." Angel, Buffy, and Gabrielle all ran to his side and started hugging him and kissing him.
"Okay, you can stop now." He laughed slightly.
"Gabriel, you scared me half to death. Don't ever do that again."
"I love you too Adriana. Now can we get me to bed or something 'cause I'm tired and sore as hell." Buffy glared at him and said, "Just because you were attacked doesn't mean you can use such foul language boy."
"Yes Mother." Adriana and Angel snickered.
"And don't you two laugh. Just because I'm smaller than you Angel, and don't have powers like you Adriana, doesn't mean I can't kick your asses."
"Yes Buffy" They mumbled. Adriana wrapped her arms around Gabriel and helped him up.
"Hey Mum, we're going to bed." She glared at him with her piercing slayer eyes.
"What do you mean but 'we're'?
"Adriana and I are going to our room to lay in our bed and go to sleep?" She started to say something, but Angel stopped her. They walked out of the room and slowly upstairs.
"Why did you stop me? They have no right to sleep together. They're only 16 and 17."
"So, they are just going to sleep Buff. It's not like they plan on having sex. He's injured and she'll probably clean up his wounds and they will both fall asleep in his bed."
"Fine I'll let it go this time, but I will be in there in an hour to make sure that they are doing nothing but sleeping."
"I can deal with that."
Meanwhile Adriana was in fact cleaning up Gabriel's wounds. He winced at the deep cut on his leg. It was nothing she had ever seen and she had seen some nasty cuts.
"I might have to take you to St. Mungo's."
"What is that? Why?"
"It's a wizarding hospital. I can't heal your leg. I'll have to call Draco tomorrow and I have him take us."
"Who's Draco?"
"My brother, remember you met him and Luke at our wedding."
"Oh yeah your twin."
"Yep."
"Okay then. You'll have to call him tomorrow. Right now just lay down."
"No." She said playfully. He grabbed her waist and pulled her down onto his fluffy bed. Buffy was passing the room when she heard Adriana giggling and Gabriel kissing her. She busted the door down.
"Mom you broke my door. It was open you know."
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU TWO DOING?"
"I was tickling and kissing her. Is that a problem?"
"Yes that is a damn problem. Now, Adriana go downstairs and sleep. Gabriel do not say a word."
"Um, not to be rude, but Adriana will stay here with me. We will sleep. This was my fault anyway. Not to mention, she is my wife and we can play around without having sex." Angel was walking by and heard his son and wife arguing. He quietly peered in.
"What happened now?" His voice was tired and bored.
"Our son was about to have sex with our stupid daughter-in-law."
"Buff, Adriana is not our stupid daughter -in-law. And Gabriel wasn't about to have sex with her. They were just playing." He walked over to her, picked her up, and carried her out of the room with her screaming.
"ANGEL PUT ME DOWN NOW! THEY WILL DO SOMETHING, MARK MY WORDS!" Eventually the screaming stopped and Gabriel and Adriana laid down. Soon the happy couple fell asleep.
While they were sleeping, a soft pop echoed in the silence. There stood Lucius Malfoy with blood all over him. He was going to take care of this boy once and for all. HE stepped on a lose floorboard and it creaked very loudly. Adriana shot up and screamed. Gabriel then shot up and jumped. Lucius tried to curse him, but he was too fast. Then Gabriel hit him hard. HE fell and shot up one more curse. Before Adriana could move, Gabriel was on the floor, dead. Lucius disappeared with a pop and a mighty laugh.
"ANGEL, BUFFY, GABRIELLE!" They came running and saw Gabriel. Everyone ran to him except Angel.
"Adriana come here." She walked to Angel and stood there.
"What happened to my son?"
"Lucius came back. He used the killing curse. I can't heal him, Draco can't heal him, and hell even St. Mungo's can't heal him." Then Adriana blacked out.
She woke up a few days later in St. Mungo's. Since her and Draco were twins, they had a psychic bond between them. So when one of them was upset, hurt, or anything of the sort, the other twin would feel it. Draco felt her pain within moments of her blacking out. He was gone with a pop and arrived beside her. He quickly filled in Gabriel's family in on everything and took her and Gabriel to St. Mungo's.
Well, when she awoke, Draco and Luke were standing on either side of her and a big black dog was lying on her feet.
"Dri, your awake!"
"Ouch, Draco hugs hurt. Hi Luke. Daddy, why are you laying on my feet and aren't you supposed to be in hiding?" Luke just nodded and the big, black dog became her father.
"I just thought you'd want some warm feet, 'Dri. That's all. How ya feeling?"
"Like I just got beat up. What happened? I had a dream that Lucius killed Gabriel." Everyone's face turned into a sad look. Draco stood forward.
"Ana, Gabriel's dead. Lucius killed him. I'm sorry. His burial is tomorrow if you want to go." Adriana's face went blank.
"I'm not gonna cry. I am not gonna cry. Shit, I'm crying. Draco, I need you to go home, and get my trench coat, my tank top, and my black pants. Luke go see if the ministry knows yet. Dad, go check on Gabriel's family please." The men glanced at her, hugged her, and left one by one. Draco was the last to leave.
"I love you sis."
"I love you too Bro." The next day Adriana went to her husband's burial. Her bothers were on her left side and Gabrielle, Angel, and Buffy were on her right. Right in front of her was her dad as a big, black dog. She was the last one to go to his casket. As she walked by, she fell to her knees crying. No one bothered to pick her up. Eventually she got up and went back to the O'Connor Mansion with her brothers and in-laws. She was the last to go to bed that night. All of her dreams were plagued by the thought of Lucius and of what she'd do to him. She fell asleep around 2 that morning with her brothers on either side of her.
