"You were going to move in with… HIM!" Spike said stunned at his daughter's statement. "Well, yeah," Canala shifted uncomfortably "I mean, I'm was in love with him, and when you love someone you…" "Were in love with him?" Angelina asked Canala bowed her head. "I still love him, " she said looking at Angel, "But after what I've found out, I just don't know, I have to think." he blonde looked as though she was going to cry. With one final helpless look at her love she left the room.
Angel looked as though he was about to let lose some tears himself. He sunk down to the floor for a moment then with a determine look on his face he stood up to leave. Spike stood in front of the door to stop him. "Where the hell do you think you're going." "I'm going after the woman I love" Angel said unwaveringly. "Like hell you are." Spike said, "Hell would have to freeze over before I let you go after my daughter." Angel knew he could get passed Spike, it would be easy, Spike was mortal now, but beating up your girlfriends father is no way to get brownie points.
"Let him go." Angel and Spike turned, both stunned at who had spoke. Buffy.
Angel looked at her, the two old lovers shared a look. Their time was over now, it had been for many years, though neither of them had wished to admit it. Both had always clung to a hope, a spurious expectation that one day they would be together again, alas, by holding onto one another, they had neglected to realize what was right in front of them the entire time. Spike was entirely devoted to Buffy, and Canala equally so to Angel. Both of them felt like fools as they realized what they had almost lost. Spike wordlessly stepped aside , Angel walked over to Buffy, gave her a quick kiss and left.
"What was that all about." Buffy just smiled a shook her head, he was an idiot, but she loved him, she just couldn't believe it had taken her so long to realize it. With out a word she kissed her bleached lover.
Canala sat crying out by the tree in Angel's yard. She knew he was behind her and sat silently as he sat beside her. The to sat in peace for awhile till the silence was broken. "I'm sorry, I honestly didn't know that you were Buffy and Spike's daughter, if I had I would have…" he paused. "You would have what, stayed away?" "Yes." Angel said. "Then I'm glad you didn't know." She said softly. Canala slowly got up to leave. "Where are you going?" Angel asked "You want to stay away from me, I'm making it easier for you." "I didn't mean it like that," "Then how did you mean it" she said, refusing to let the tears in her eyes fall. She would not let him know that she would cry over him.
"I meant that if I would have know who you are when I met you , I would have stayed away." The paused for a minute then looked her straight in the eye. "I thank God I didn't know, I wouldn't have traded my time with you for anything."
"She looked at him square in the. "I'm glad you didn't know either." They shared a smile for a moment. Then she looked at the ground. "What do we do now?" "I don't know" Angel said. "I think we should wait." Canala said, "take a break for a little while, and then see where life leads us." Angel looked at her, "Is that what you really want?" Angel said. "It's not what I want," Canala said, "It's what I need." "Ok" Angel said. He kissed her. "I love you" "I love you to" And with that he walked off into the night.
