Ok because future Angel does not have the happiness, while he is in the past neither does past Angel but only while the both of them are in the same time period. I know, I know just work with me people LOL.

Chapter 14
Cordy and Angel just turned and stared at Wes, both of them
looking confused.
"What do you mean Wes?" Cordy asked.
"Well what we thought the spell would do was join your souls together, which would give Cordy some of Angel's demoness, do that she could live." Wes stopped as soon as he saw the blank looks he was getting. "It doesn't go into great detail about how it works, so sue me." He breathed deeply. "As I was saying the spell didn't actually work like it was supposed to."
Angel growled deep within his chest, he was worried that he was going to lose her, just as he had managed to grab her back from the jaws of death. A light slap on the shoulder brought him back as he turned and glared at the beautiful brunette, her eyes flashing with annoyance.
"It was not there fault that the spell was rushed so they couldn't find out all the details now is it. I 'm betting it was one impatient vampire with a soul, so stop with the growling and let Wes explain what actually happen." Cordy turned to look at Wes. "You are going to explain right" She asked hopefully.
Wes smiled and nodded at her. "Don't worry Angel, Cordy is alive and I am guessing for a long time, well as long as you live anyway." Cordy and Angel exchanged confused glances and then turned back to the ex-watcher. "Well this spell only works for soul mates, for Cordy to be alive now the two of you were meant to be together, your essences are joined. Cordy won't age until Angel does; she is also stronger and faster than before. The downside to this is when one of you dies the other dies; you can't live without each other. You are bound together for as long as Angel is a vampire and alive."
Angel and Cordy turned and looked at each other, her eyes suddenly filled with sadness"I'm sorry you're stuck with me for the long foreseeable future." She was glad but she was not sure if he was ready for that long a term.
Angel placed a finger under
her chin and lifted it so he could look into her eyes.
"There is
nothing more I want than to spend an eternity with you. One day maybe
we can walk in the sun together and grow old together. I was so
afraid of my shanshu because I would be alone but now, now I will
have you at my side and I can't wait for that day. I love you Cordy
and that is never going to change."
Tears fell from her eyes
as she heard and felt the emotion behind his words. "I love you so
much Angel and it grows more and more everyday." Her voice was soft
but Angel heard every word, and for just a moment he felt as if he
were alive again and one day he would, there was no doubt in his mind
because Cordy would be at his side.
Buffy ran at Angel hitting him
in the chest, tears falling from her eyes like the Niagara Falls. "It
was me; it was supposed to be me. You were supposed to love me
forever. I was supposed to be your eternal light not her, not
Cordelia." Her heart was shattered into a million pieces and seemed
to vanish into nothingness and in her chest was a gaping black
hole.
Angel took hold of her hands, he felt guilty about not loving her now unlike the older Buffy they had grown up and grown apart and she had her own life and love now, but this young slayer in front of him still had her first love with Angel, just like the younger him. But once they left, their journey to the past would be wiped out so no one would remember and Buffy would get her first love back, for however short a time it would be.
"I'm sorry Buffy and even though you don't understand it now and you hate me. You will find other loves when you get older. We will always be special to one another, we were each others first loves and that is one thing you would never forget." Angel told her his voice soft.
Buffy pulled back and stared at the man, the vampire whom she thought she knew and staring back at her was the face of a stranger.
Cordelia and Angel sat down staring at the small child in the crib that was fast asleep. This was going to be their future; they hoped it would still be their future.
"Do you think uhhh?" Cordelia stuttered.
"Everything will be fine. This will happen, it has to." Angel told her with hope and desperation in his voice.
"But when they go we won't remember any of this." Cordelia cried she didn't want to forget these feelings; she wanted to cherish them and hold them tightly to her but most of all she wanted to be with Angel.
Angel reached out and touched the teenager's face gently stroking her cheek. It was odd, he loved Buffy, he did but doubts seeped into his mind maybe he was just in love with the idea, maybe when he was told that he had to help Buffy his mind unconsciously made the decision that he had to be in love with her. With him being a vampire and she being the slayer, otherwise why would he help his mortal enemy and not work alone.
But what he felt for the petite blonde was nothing
compared to what his feelings were becoming for the young brunette
sitting next to him, his feelings had grown so quickly it had
overwhelmed him. This could have been the reason why he had never
gotten to know Cordelia Chase; deep down he knew that it would be so
easy to fall in love with her.
Cordelia Chase just stared at the
man, the vampire. She had always known that he was attractive but as
she had gotten to know him better, she realised that there was a lot
more to him.
Slowly their heads moved closer, time seemed to freeze and as their lips touched an electrical shock ran through their bodies. Angel was sure if it carried on Cordelia would have jump started his heart so it would beat again and just as he wrapped his hand around the back of her neck to pull her closer to deepen the kiss Cordelia's mobile went off.
Angel groaned as he pulled away from heaven, she sighed and reached down pulling out the small phone from her pocket.
"Yes." She said her eyes still joined to Angel's and then it hit her hard, she had fallen in love with him. Her heart ached because she would have to wait a long time to be with him. "Ok we'll be back soon." She clipped the phone shut. "You heard?"
Angel nodded but his chest hurt. "Looks like the future is saved and we'll be together."
"But not
now." Cordelia sobbed. "I don't want to lose you. I want to be
with you, to be able to love you now and forever. It isn't
fair."
"Cordelia all we can have is one moment which soon
we'll forget." Angel told her honestly.
"I don't care if it is just one moment, if that is all we can have together now, then that is what I want. I need you Angel please make love to me." Cordelia begged.
Before she could say anything else Angel had puller her into his arms and was kissing her passionately as they started to pull at each other's clothes.
