Title: Immortal Miracles

Author: Kristin Hulett Buffy and the Scooby Gang find out about the prophecy about Angel turning human, i.e. the Shanshu prophecy. Then they get some strange dreams and prophecies of their own.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters on Buffy and Angel. I am only a lowly fan who liked the Angel/Buffy relationship and has my own ideas about the prophecy Wesley found. The only characters that are possibly mine are the members of the Council of Miracles (and Megan, in the epilogue). Meaning, don't sue me because what would you expect to get out of a 23-year-old without a job, driver's license, or anything that could possibly mean my family's rich. All you would get would be a lot of junk and a possibly psycho golden retriever.

Epilogue

By midafternoon, everyone was in Sunnydale. Willow and Xander are over at Giles's and have been told of everything that happened in LA. Now, they are just sitting there, trying to process the information. Suddenly, Willow remembers something.

"Oh. Hey, Buffy. Last night Riley came looking for you. I told him you were out of town, so he gave me a message for you. He is sorry, and would like it if you could be friends again."

"Cool. I'll have to go see him sometime." But she didn't look like she would be going over there anytime soon. She is leaning up against Angel's chest, and his arms are around her. She turns to look up at him. "We'll have to make you guys get along."

Angel just looks happy to have Buffy back. He tells the group that Wesley, Cordy and he will have to figure something out with Angel Investigations, but he would like to move back to town. Cordy tells him that they can run the office, and they could call him to LA if they absolutely needed him, since that last demon probably meant that most of the problems are over. "And we can handle a few vampires or minor demons."

Buffy speaks up. "Your mansion is still empty. You could probably move back in if you wanted to. I think your stuff is all still in there anyway."

Before Angel can say anything, Giles's phone rings. Giles picks it up.

"Hello? Oh, yes. He's here. I'll put him on." He hands the phone to Xander with an exasperated look.

"Hello? Oh. Hi. Sorry. I forgot." He hangs up the phone with a sheepish look. He explains, "I had a date with Anya. I forgot, and she found Giles's number. I have to go now."

Angel gives Xander a look. "Anya? Wasn't she a demon?"

Buffy turns to look at him again. "Yeah, but she isn't anymore. Now she just has this thing with Xander."

Cordy pipes up. "Xander, what is it with you and weird people? I mean, first that substitute teacher that was a giant praying mantis, then that mummy girl, and now an ex-demon. Boy, am I glad I broke up with you. I hope it's not contagious."

Angel looks at the others. "She returns to Sunnydale and reverts back to her old self. Really, she doesn't always act like this in LA."

Xander leaves and Willow stands up. "I really should be going, too. I have homework and stuff." She leaves in a hurry.

Buffy finally decides to move. "I guess I should go talk to Riley. Angel, stay here until I can explain everything to him. Bye, everyone!" She walks out the door.

A few minutes later, Angel decides to go check out his mansion. Cordy and Wesley stake out Giles's living room. They decide to spend the night, and everyone settles down.

The next day, Cordy and Wesley go over to Angel's mansion. They tell him they're going to head back to LA. Then Cordy asks, "So, are you going to stay here?"

"Yeah. Probably."

"OK. Bye. See you sometime." They leave and go back to LA.


A few weeks later, Riley had finally accepted Angel as Buffy's boyfriend. Of course, the fact that Angel is human helps. The two guys manage to become friends, and Riley is included in some Scooby Gang outings. Anya continued to be a little annoying, but everyone just dealt with her because that is how she is. Angel found out about Tara, and actually dealt with it better than Buffy did when she had first found out.

Buffy graduated from college. A couple months later, she and Angel got married. Everyone came to the ceremony. Cordy and Wesley closed the office for a few days and showed up. Xander was best man, and Willow was the maid of honor. Riley, Tara, Anya and Buffy's mom were the only other guests. Giles gave Buffy away, since her father was on a business trip and couldn't come.

Angel sold the mansion, and the couple bought a house close to Buffy's mother's house. Three years later, Buffy gave birth to a baby girl. They named her Megan Elizabeth. Sadly, she never really had a chance to get to know her grandmother. Joyce died shortly before Megan's first birthday. However, she had a lot of "aunts" and "uncles" to make up for it. She especially liked "Aunt" Willow. Buffy had to forbid Willow to ever teach Megan any magic.

Xander had married Anya, and Riley had actually found someone. He had married her, and Buffy was good friends with his wife. Giles continued helping Buffy fight anything that had come up, but he was getting old before his time from the stress. Everyone was devastated when he died seven years after Buffy had gotten married.


2010:

Every once in a while, Buffy would wake up thinking that everything that had happened was a dream. Then, she would turn over and see Angel next to her, sleeping, or she would get up and go to her daughter's room and watch her.

Megan was four, and Buffy knew that everyone loved her. She had dark hair like Angel, but she had her mother's eyes. She also had her mother's personality, but that couldn't be seen when she was asleep. When she was asleep, she seemed so innocent and perfect. Sometimes, Buffy couldn't figure out how she deserved what she has gotten. She has a wonderful family, and great friends.

Buffy gets tired of wondering about this, and turns around and goes back to bed.
