Buffy grins at the vampire that was lying on the ground. "That was really funny-looking. Could you do it again?" The Vampire growls at her angrily.

"What were you trying to kill me for before?" Buffy asked annoyed.

The vampire swings at her, but she ducks and comes up behind him. He faces her just in time to take a roundhouse kick in the shoulder. He swings again, but she ducks it and punches him in the gut, then rises back up and backhand punches him in the head. Then she shoves him back a step so she can follow up with a half-spinning wheel kick, making the vampire stumble back and fall onto the carousel. She strides toward him.

"Okay, so here's the deal." Buffy raises her stake and is about to pummel him when she is overcome by dizziness. She closes her eyes and steps back unsteadily, almost as though in pain. The vampire seizes the opening and rushes her, grabs her by the jacket, swings her around and throws her onto a picnic table. She rolls off of it and onto the ground. The vampire jumps on top of her, straddling her. She turns her head away in fright. He grabs her right wrist with one hand and with the other grabs her hand and twists it around, hurting her and making her cry out. Her stake is now pointed at her own chest, and the vampire uses his weight to slowly push it down at her.

"Lemme know if I'm not doing this right." The vamp smiled.

Her eyes go wide with terror as he suddenly plunges the stake into her chest. Before she let out a scream the Vamps faced morphed to Spike's.


Angel awakes in fear. He sits up and places his right hand on his chest. It was thumping loudly and he still wanders how it was staying in his chest. It felt like it was going to come out of his chest.

He took a deep breath until he wandered why he was having the same dream for the past two weeks. It was like his worst nightmare was coming true. Besides that point he's been at Buffy's side every minute for the past week. Knowing that much he thinks Buffy is getting quite irritated with him.

He looks over on the other side of the bed to find Buffy gone. He panics suddenly and gets up. He walks into the dark living room noticing it looks different than before. The lights are low. The logs in the fireplace are burning steadily. Candles are lit throughout the room. A blanket lies near the fire place with a cozy picnic basket was set up. Near the blanket Buffy is sitting there with a book in her hand. He smiles relieved she is fine and goes to her. He walks over and sits calmly beside Buffy. She looks up and quickly hides the book behind her embarrassed. Angel notices it and gently kisses her cheek tugging the book out of her right hand. "Hay."

"What are you reading?" He holds it up away from her hands and reads the front page. "Exotic Lust." Angel grinned as he seen Buffy's embarrass red face.

"Now why would you be reading this?" he asked.

"Because I…..

Angel grinned. "I'm getting you impatient and…hot…

"Irritated ….. You just make me…." Buffy said slightly annoyed with her hormones going all wacky. One minute she's annoyed that he's with her all the time and the other she wants to wrap her legs around his waist and…

"Buffy?" Angel stares at her amused that's she just dazed out. By the looks of it she seems horny. This was not a good idea he told himself. He promised himself he would wait just in case if he hurt the baby. Then again the doctor said its fine. He was getting agitated with his hormones. He looked around again and smiled at Buffy. "I like what you did to the place."

Buffy glared at him. "Don't try to get out of this?" We were talking about a very serious problem." Buffy pouted.

Angel smiled at her. "Buffy were never going to make it if you keep pouting like that.

Buffy laughed. "You….you know how hard it is."

Buffy stopped talking as she had a devious thought came to her. She moved the basket over and placed it by Angel. "Do you want something to eat?" Buffy asked. She opened the basket and laying out a cup of chocolate, strawberries and mint chocolate ice cream."

Angel smiled wandering why she stopped the conversation. He wandered if she was up to something. He stared at the spoon that Buffy handed him as he looked at the pint of ice cream. He then dipped it into the ice cream. He tried it and smiled. "I think this is the first time I had ice cream. This is good." He got another scoop.

"You never had mint chocolate ice cream?" Buffy asked surprise.

"Well no. never in my two hundred years." He said.

Buffy shook her head. "You missed out…..big time" She grinned.

"Well I'm not missing it now." Angel grins, leans over and places a small spoon of ice cream in her mouth. She misses some of it on purpose as it drops and lands on her breast. "Cold."

Angel looks down and couldn't resist the urge to clean the ice cream up.

Buffy moans as she pulls him forward wrapping her hand around his neck. "Now you did that on purpose Mr." Buffy pouted.

Angel grins. "Me? Now I think you got that backwards."

"I would never do such a thing." Buffy smirks and decides to teach him a lesson. She quickly pulls away and pushes him to the floor and straddles him. Angel gently pushes her to the side as her back hits the floor in front of the fireplace. Angel crouches over her, holding himself up with his arms and grinning down at her. She uses her leg to throw Angel over her head. Stunned he flips backwards and lands flat on his back. Angel glares at her as she does a kick-up, bringing her up to a standing position, and spins around to face Angel as he gets to his feet.

"Buffy? What are you doing" He asked surprised and wandered what is she thinking.

"Come on, I actually never fought you before. You could teach me….your..Moves." Buffy grinned.

Angel wasn't sure what moves she was talking about. Just knowing that thought it was getting very hard to concentrate. "Buffy?" He asked knowing well enough she fought his demon before but he wasn't going to bring that up to ruin the mood. Most of all he didn't' really want to fight her in this state.

"I'm sure, come on." Buffy stands there smirking at him.

Angel hesitates for a moment before lunging at her with a wide punch that she easily ducks. She comes up behind him, and he turns around to face her. He tries a left-hand punch, but her inner form blocks it and flies into a half-spinning in-to-out crescent kick. Angel ducks it, but gets knocked off his feet when Buffy keeps on spinning downwards with a back leg sweep, sending him to the floor. She scrambles to grab a baguette from the blanket and rolls on toward Angel. She comes up straddling him at the waist and plunges the long, thin loaf at his chest, stopping just short of penetration.

"Gotcha!"

Angel grins defeated and happy that she out smarted him. He wanted her ready just in case a vamp tried to kill her. Maybe he should train her. Oh…he was having another bad thought. "Uhh! Right in the heart."

"Satisfied?" Buffy leans closer towards him. Angel shakes his head trying not to think about that lovely skin under her clothes, her small hands against his chest and her perfect moan coming out of her mouth. He glanced at her and noticed she pushed her knee to his crouch. He gasped and stared at her. "You're really pushing it." Angel gently leans closer for a taste as he captured her mouth. Buffy moaned against him. His tongue went into her mouth, stealing her breath away as his hands moved up and ripped the shirt and bra from her body. She whimpered slightly as his mouth left hers, only to begin moaning again as his teeth nipped at her right nipple. He suckled on it for a moment before pleasuring the other one. "Oh Angel." Buffy grabbed his head and pushed him closer loving the feeling of his mouth on her. She wasn't sure what brought this on but she was happy.

Angel stopped for a moment realizing what he was doing. Her shirt was off exposing her lovely breast and her swelled stomach. He sighed knowing he was at a losing battle now. He gently shoved her pants past her hips, pausing only momentarily to pull her panties off. He dropped to his knees in front of her. He gently placed her knees on his shoulders before bringing her quickly to pleasure with his tongue. Buffy was out of her mind with ecstasy. She would never ever have believed that she would be doing this with Angel on his living room floor. But oh god, she had never ever felt this way…ever. She felt free from inhibition and embarrassment, only focusing on the feel of his mouth against her. "Angel, oh..." She moaned softly.

Her back arching as the desperation to have him inside her became almost painful. Angel kept his pace as he suddenly slightly licks her inner core causing her to explode and shudder. Angel leaned up placing kissing up her body until he got to her face. He leaned over and watched as Buffy panted, desperately trying to catch her breath as the world finally began clear again.

"That was….

"Amazing." Angel kissed her cheek.

Buffy smiled at him as he wrapped his arms around her body pulling her closer. Buffy sighed realizing he wasn't going to go any farther at least that's what she thinks.

"I think the ice cream melted." Buffy said feeling somewhat satisfied. Angel smiles and picks up what's left of the ice cream. "I think I can put it to good use."

Buffy smiles realizing she was not going to get much sleep tonight.


Abandoned boarding house.

The place is dark and musty. A few of the wall lamps are lit and there's a fire going in the fireplace. It's clear, though, that no one has lived here for years. The furniture is torn and the books on the shelves are strewn about. A man is bricking shut one of the windows. Quentin Travers, a member of the Watcher's Council, observes his progress. He turns as another man comes down the stairs. He smiles at the man and shakes hands.

"You know you're doing me a big favor by getting rid of her. She's a pest to my side." The mayor said.

Quentin Travers starts to shake his hand when the mayor stared at him oddly.

"I don't do handshakes Mr. Travers. Hands are filled with germs." The mayor stated.

"Ah…I see. Well at least we have another slayer that will be good for the job."

The mayor smiled. "Oh yes my Faith will be good for the job, no doubt about that."

One of the mayor's men comes by with a case. The Mayor opens it and hands him the small case. "Make sure she gets this, only one chance to do it right." The mayor said.

Travers smiles and takes the box. "I wouldn't worry about it Mayor, everything will go as planned.


The next morning Buffy and Faith patrol the graveyard. Angel is not far away as he watches them in the darkness. Buffy glares at Faith and decides to ask her. Giles and Jenny even talked to Faith about her involvement with Spike and the only thing they get is nothing. I don't know what you're talking about nor would you just give it a rest. Buffy was tired of playing games and wanted answers.

"Come on Faith what's with you and Spike. You can tell me." Buffy says.

Faith glares at her annoyed but she knew if she didn't tell her she was going to keep asking and she didn't want her or Giles to get suspicious of her yet. "Fine I'll tell you B, if you tell me about you and Angel." Faith asked.

"What is there to tell?" Buffy asked.

"Come on I know he has a soul and all but got to tell you, B. The willpower thing, nice job. I wouldn't last a chance." Faith smirked.

"It's not just about…..

"Sex?"

"No….it's love….affection…someone to…cuddle." Buffy said. "A soul mate."

Faith laughed. "There's no such thing B. You might as well hang it up and just enjoy the rush, the thrill of….lust…and…

Buffy rolled her eyes. "So is that what's it's like to be with…..Spike." Buffy said trying to keep her mouth shut of saying the wrong thing or say Yuk.

Faith glared at her. "Maybe, but it's the same with Angel right. I bet when your watcher and friends first found out you were dating a vamp they weren't happy." Faith asked.

"Spike is not the same as Angel." Buffy glared. "But I do agree I know what you're going through. It was a mess when my mom and the gang found out about Angel and me." Buffy said.

"I'm glad I don't have to put up with that. Besides that B how are you handling with the no closeness thing with Angel?" Faith asked trying to get some scoop. "Which I still don't understand why he wants to wait, is he old school or something."

"No it's…fine….we handle it." Buffy said knowing she couldn't tell her the whole truth. She wasn't sure if she should trust her yet. She hasn't even told her she's pregnant yet. At least she can wait a little long before she shows. Buffy suddenly looks up to see a demon standing near her. "Faith, Duck!"

Faith ducks and Buffy punches a demon behind her.

"Ow! Ooh! What are you, nuts? Going around punching people?" The demon replied holding his broken nose.

Buffy pulls off its hat to reveal two horns growing out of its forehead. "People?"

"So what, I'm a demon. That makes it okay?"

Buffy and Faith both grab their stakes.

"Hold it, whoa! Stake me now, and you never find out what I got for ya, huh? Think about it. Demon seeks Slayers, highly unusual?"

Faith looks at him annoyed. "Talk fast."

"How would you like to get your hands on the Books of Ascension?"

"Never heard of ….wait…Giles was looking for these. How did you get these?" Buffy asked.

"I found them in a nearby cave. The Books of Ascension. Very powerful works and I'm not talking about the prose. They deal with some, ah, dark stuff. And the Mayor would hate for somebody to get a hold before he, ah, well you know.

"Don't know. Before he what?" Buffy asked.

"Hey, hey, read 'em and weep. That's all I got to say. I got the books if the price is right."

Buffy glared at him wandering if she pummel him first or stake him. But he did look defensive. "I'm not really looking to trade with a demon but I'll have to get my watcher."

"No need." Angel said appearing behind the demon making him jump.

The demon glares at him curiously. "Oh you scared me." The demon looks at Angel closer. "Wow…. it's really you. Your Angelus right?"

Angel stands by Buffy looking annoyed at the demon. "I don't go by that name any more."

"The Demon frowns. "Ah….ok….you got five-G?"

Angel hands him one g and glares at him annoyed. If the demon knew what's good for him he would leave fast.

The demon looks at the check then at his annoyed face. He grinned "Wow, never knew you were a check type of person….but thanks." He hands him the bag.

Angel takes the bag and looks at Buffy. "I never knew you had a bank account." Buffy asked.

"Ya I got it years ago." Angel winks at her.

Faith stares at him curiously then Buffy wandering what he met. "Well at least we have everything we need. I think Giles would want to see those."

"I agree. Let's go." Buffy says.


At the library.

"I've been having the weirdest cravings lately." Buffy said.

Willow smirked while Xander seemed displeased. "I had Angel go out and get me a jar of pickles with cream cheese."

"Yuk….are you sure that's normal." Xander asked.

Buffy rolled her eyes. "Of course it's normal. Pregnant woman always crave pickles."

"Are you sure? It might be a little vamp and you never know what type of cravings your have then." Xander looked up to see Angel growl softly. "Fine…Fine I was just making a joke…,Ha…ha."

Buffy looked at Angel and then back at Xander. Boys will be boys. "I guess it does sound kinda gross, but it was surprisingly good," she said, taking a sip of her soda.

"Oh, that reminds me," Willow said, her eyes lighting up as she remembered her gift she got for Buffy. She began fishing around in her backpack. "I went to the mall this weekend and got you something." Willow handed her a package that was wrap in blue paper with a pink ribbon.

Xander stared at her confused. "Hay no one told me we were getting gifts for the Bufster. When did this happen?"

"It's just something small." Willow said. "Besides you will have a chance when you have your baby shower, right Buffy."

"Willow you didn't. You didn't have too." Buffy said taking the gift and smiling up at her best friend.

"It's nothing big. It was just so cute I couldn't past it up." Willow replied.

Buffy opened it quickly and pulled out the cutest baby outfit she seen. It was a brown sleeper. It was a shape of a bear. It was all brown with pink ears and it had a tail. It was the smallest outfit she ever seen. She still couldn't believe something so small could fit in this.

Angel smiled proudly at her as she looked at the outfit. It made him wish his little bundle of joy was here with him now in his arms. He could imagine what he or she would look like. "Thank you Willow, we really appreciate it." Angel said walking over.

"It really is cute Will. Thank you so much." Buffy leaned over and gave her friend a big hug. Willow smiled.

"Hay where's the love here." Xander pouted.

Buffy shook her head, walked up and gave him a hug. "There your happy." She grinned.

Angel was about to growl when he noticed Xander was staring at him trying to make him jealous that his woman was in his arms. But he was suddenly distracted at he seen Faith tell Giles she was going to go and patrol. He watched her leave then turned back to Buffy who was chatting away with Willow and Xander. Buffy notices this and excused herself from her friends. "What?"

He nodded to the door. "Faith."

"What, Faith? What's wrong with Faith?" Buffy asked

Angel watched the swinging door of the library for a moment before shrugging. "Just…Be careful. I have this feeling."

Buffy stared at him for a moment, confused and concerned, before nodding. "Sure. Ok. But I'm sure you're just worrying for nothing. Faith's fine."

Angel watched as the door swung open and Faith reappeared. That was fast. Faith walked towards them. "I thought this was a joint effort!"

Buffy and Angel shared another glance, and then headed after the younger Slayer. "Slow-pokes," Faith teased. "Where we headed?"

"Willy's, probably," Buffy told her.

Angel nodded. "We'd better check out the Mayor, too. His dealing's lately have been darker than I like in a city leader."

"Yeah," Faith nodded. "No one's into bribes and money laundering anymore." Off Buffy and Angel's looks she quickly continued. "Yeah, okay. I'll hit up the Mayor's, you guys take Willy's."

"Willy's is a no-brainer. I'll come with on the Mayor…you wanna check out the bar, Angel?" Buffy asked.

He shook his head. "Let's do Willy's together. I've got another place in mind after that," he told her.

Buffy glanced at Faith and then took Angel's hand. "Ok. We'll meet up later, okay?"

"Share war-stories," Faith nodded, and headed out of the library.

"What was all that about?" Buffy asked after she'd gone. "What other place?"

"There really is another place I want to look into," he told her, watching Faith's retreating figure. "But I wanted to see if she'd go for checking out the Mayor."

"Why? Your 'feeling?'"

He nodded. "Yeah."

"You think Faith's involved with the Mayor?"

"Maybe, but she is involved with Spike. There's no telling what's he brain washed her to do or what she's up too." Angel spoke.

"I understand why she's with Spike but the Mayor? I mean…how? And why? Faith's still fighting the good fight, Angel. Last night we staked two vamps and killed the Pilar demon. Bad people don't try to rid the world of evil. They invite evil over for tea."

Angel glanced at her with a raised eyebrow. "Ok! Ok! I could be wrong."

"Wouldn't be the first time," Buffy teased.

"Oh yeah? Name one."

"Where should I start?"

They continued to bicker as they headed out for Willy's.


Later that day Quentin came by to see Giles. Quentin sat on the other side of table as Giles glared at him. Cruciamentum is not easy... for Slayer or Watcher. But it's been done this way for a dozen centuries. Whenever a Slayer turns eighteen. It's a time-honored rite of passage.

It's an archaic exercise in cruelty. To lock her in this... tomb... weakened, defenseless and to unleash a vampire on her." Giles said..If any one of the Council still had actual contact with a Slayer, they would see, but I'm the one in the thick of it."

Which is why you're not qualified to make this decision. you're too close." Travers said.

"That's… not true."

A Slayer is not just physical powerless. She must have cunning, imagination, a confidence derived from self-reliance. And believe me, once this is all over, your Buffy will be stronger for it." Travers said.

"I can't do this." Giles said.

"It's this or your fired Giles. You have a duty, we all do." He hands Giles the syringe and walks away. "I expect you to do it."

Giles watches him leave with disgust. He is not happy at all about this.


Two vampire rolls down the slide and onto the ground. Buffy runs down the slide after him and stops next to him in a ready stance. Angel is already near the second one as he punches him square in the face.

"Wow, that was really funny-looking! Could you do it again?" Buffy teased.

"I'll kill you for that." The vampire jumps towards her.

"For that? What were you trying to kill me for before?" She chuckled punching him square in the face.

"Ah Buffy stop teasing him and stake him. We have to find out where Faith went to." Angel replied.

"Fine, fine Mr. Grumpy." Buffy walked over toward the vamp as he swings at her, but she ducks and comes up behind him. He faces her just in time to take a roundhouse kick in the shoulder. He swings again, but she ducks it and punches him in the gut, then rises back up and backhand punches him in the head. Then she shoves him back a step so she can follow up with a half-spinning wheel kick, making the vampire stumble back and fall to the carousel. She strides toward him.

"Another one bites the dust." She raises it and intended to stake him when something stabs her in the leg. "OW, what the hell."

"Your time is up slayer." The vamp replied pulling the syringe out of her leg.

Angel quickly stakes the second vamp and jumped over toward Buffy to see the vamp holding a syringe in Buffy's leg. Angel growled and quickly picked up the vamp tossing him to the ground.

"Buffy." He ran to her and gently smoothed his hand on her cheek." Are you ok?"

"He stabbed me, what the hell." Buffy pouted starting to reach for her stake when her leg went numb." Damn I'm so going to pummel that vamp."

"Wait here." Angel spoke and ran over to see the vamp trying to get away. He quickly grabbed him and staked him then ran back to Buffy.

"I wanted to do that." Buffy said. "Buffy I didn't want you to get hurt anymore so I took care of it. Besides we need to find out what was in the syringe he injected you with."

"I don't know but I'm starting to fill dizzy." She spoke.

Angel smiled and picked her up bridal style. "Come on I'm taking you home. We have all the time to find out what Faith's doing some other time." He spoke.


The next day

Buffy walks into the library and looks around to see Giles near the desk. No one else in the library thank goodness. "Okay, I just got swatted down by some no-neck and rescued by Cordelia. What the hell is happening?"

"What do you mean?" Giles spoke.

"You're not getting the big picture here. I-I have *no* strength. I have *no* coordination. I throw knives like... a girl." Buffy scowled.

"It's not possible." Giles spoke fearing the worst.

"It is possible." Buffy spoke sitting down and about to cry. "My powers are gone Giles."

"Did you run into anybody or got injured somehow." Giles asked.

"Well last night a vamp did toss me to the ground and he stabbed me with this." Buffy spoke digging in her backpack and handing him an empty syringe."

"A vamp injected you with this." Giles asked looking at the syringe noticing there were still some green liquid in it. "Travers." He mumbled.

"Who's Travers?" Buffy asked.

"Quentin Travers he's the CEO of the council. He spoke to me yesterday about you." Giles spoke.

"Spoke to you about me. He doesn't know I'm pregnant does he?" Buffy asked.

"No he doesn't, but he asked me to… take your powers away with the same syringe here." He said.

"WHAT?" Buffy spoke outraged.

"Buffy calm down…I would never do such thing." He replied. "I told him I won't do it."

"So he sent a vamp instead. Well thanks for letting me know a little too late." She scowled standing up and walking to the door.

"Buffy you must understand that I was trying to help resolve the situation. You will receive your powers back in 24 hrs."" Giles spoke. "If I knew he would have done this..."

"No I don't want to hear anymore. I need to leave and clear my mind." Buffy ran out of the library and into the hall.

Giles sighed frustrated.

"What else are you not telling her?" Angel spoke appearing out of the alley of books.

Giles jumped startled. "Angel."

"Giles what else are you not telling her." Angel spoke walking up to him with his arms cross.

Giles sighed "If Quentin ever finds out about Buffy being pregnant or you're the father he will send the whole council team here to capture and kill you. You must be cautious until he gone." Giles spoke.

"Giles I can't be cautious until I know she and my child are safe." Angel spoke.

"Then you better be more cautious if he ever finds out." Giles spoke. "And that you must know I'll do anything in my power to protect her. She's like a daughter to me."

"I know, and I'll do the same." Angel spoke.


That evening.

Angel glanced at Buffy as they walked hand in hand out of the movie theater. "Well."

"That was very ... Artistic." Buffy said trying not to blush from the movie she just watched with Angel. She should have researched before she let Angel pick a movie out. The movie was practically a porno. There was stuff in there that would make her blush for weeks.

"Ah….Yes it was." Angel said feeling somewhat odd about letting her see that movie. He could tell she was blushing throughout the movie. Too bad he didn't tell her he did most of those things in the movie back in the day. Nah maybe not, he best to keep that a secret for now.

"Wasn't what I expected. Well, from the title I thought it was about food." Buffy said.

Angel smirked. "Well there was food and…

"Food right? More like a lot of steamy sex." She looked at him to see him smile. "Maybe we should go home to get a cold shower?"

"I…agree. I think next time I'll let you choose the movie." Angel smiled.

"Yes I defiantly will. Besides that we promised we wait. Buffy said pouting knowing that is going to be hard..

Angel sighed knowing it's going to be a very long seven months. "I know….it's fine."

Buffy stared at him and wandered for a moment if he took her to the movies just to get her all worked up. She decided to test that theory. "Besides that we don't have kimono, if we did I don't think I know what to do." She said.

Angel grinned.

"A little scary. And a little not, which is also scary. I'm sorry. I just, I don't like getting you worked up when we're trying to…wait." Buffy spoke. "It doesn't drive you crazy, when we're close?" Buffy asked.

Angel smirked and pulled her forward gently kissed her. "Every time I see you Buffy, You drive me crazy. Did you do that on purpose?" He asked.

"Me…I would never do such a thing." Buffy teased.

Angel pulled her forward and kissed her. "Come on I have a surprise at home waiting for you."

Buffy blew a strand of hair out of her face before climbing into bed next to Angel.

Angel smiled and stared at his lovely girlfriend. She wearied a blue negligee that seems to fit her body perfect. It even showed a small belly starting to form where the baby was. He then looked up to see her scowl at him.

"What's wrong honey? Everything okay in there?" He asked pulling her closer and placing his hand on her stomach.

"Yeah, the baby is fine… I'm just fat." Buffy spoke.

"Buffy you aren't fat." He spoke "You're beautiful."

"I'm fat." She scowled.

"Buffy you're beautiful and pregnant, you're not fat."

Buffy looked like she was going to cry, "Buffy you won't look like this forever." He pulled her in close to his warm body and kissed her on the cheek "You're gorgeous and I love you and our baby." He rubbed his hand lovingly on her belly.

She looked up at him, wiping a tear from under her eye. "I know, I'm sorry, it's just the hormones."

Angel smiled, "I know, it's okay Just think, we're going to have a baby in six months."

She rubbed her stomach lovingly, "I'm still trying to process were going to have a baby."

"I know it puts a hold on your life but…"

"No, it doesn't. I couldn't' wish for anything more. Well besides the whole throwing up thing I could live without. But nothing about my life has ever been normal. It's been all slaying and death. And now... I'm finally happy for the first time in my life." Buffy spoke laying her head on Angel's shoulder.

Angel smiled and kissed her head. "Being with you makes me happy Buffy and I wouldn't have it any other way."


The next morning at the summers house.

"We're still talking party, right? I mean, some of us still love to relish celebrating in the birth of the Buff." Xander joked.

"I dunno. I think it might be time to put a moratorium on parties in my honor. They tend to go badly. Monsters crash. People die." Buffy said.

"But eighteen is a *big* one, Buffy. I mean, you can vote now. You can be drafted. You can vote not to be drafted." Willow said.

"I think I'll choose to celebrate this one with quiet reflection." Buffy smiled.

"Wow this is the first time I seen you happy on your birthday." Xander spoke.

Buffy just shrug her shoulders and smiles. "Angel seemed to lighten up my spirit yesterday. He made me a nice dinner and we went to see a movie."

"When did vampires learn to cook?" Xander spoke.

"Xander he is human if you haven't forgotten." Buffy spoke.

"Ya I'm still trying to get over that fact." Xander said. "So what movie did you two watch?

"Did you watch the superman movie?" Willow asked.

"Ah…no. I actually let him picked which was a…mistake." Buffy mumbled. "But we still had fun."

Xander wandered what type of movie they watched.

Buffy knew that look. "You don't want to know what type of move we watched Xander."

Xander scowled as she walked away. He then processed what type of movie she might have watched. Too bad she didn't' invite him.

A large birthday floral arrangement is on the island, complete with helium balloon and card. The tickets to the ice show are attached to the card. Joyce is at the stove making dinner while Jenny and Giles were in the dining room researching.

"Any news on the mayor or Drakon?" Buffy asked.

"No not at this moment." Giles spoke but we might have another problem.

"What problem." Buffy said.

"Quentin" He might send someone else Buffy. I don't trust him." Giles said.

"I don't either Giles but all we can do is just do what we're doing. Besides we have more important things to do then Quentin. We have to find what the mayor is up to and why is Spike helping him." Buffy spoke.

Angel was nearby but was preoccupied as he noticed Faith leaving. Angel quickly walked over to Buffy and kissed her cheek.

Buffy smiles and turned noticing the broody look on his face. "Angel is something wrong?"

"I'm not sure but I think Faith might lead us to where Spike is?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I think she is going there now." He spoke.

"You think we should follow her." Buffy spoke.

"It might be the only way to get some answers."


Faith was so hot and excited the way things turned out. The Scooby gang had no idea what the mayor had in store for them and with Buffy defenseless she could do what she pleased now. But as of right now she was entertained with the blond vamp lying below her on the tub.

Every movement was sending his slick hard shaft into her further. Her moans grew louder.

Spike was in dreamland as she rode him hard. When her pace quicken he flipped her over and pound into her.

"SPIKE..." Faith moaned.

Spike growled softly and pulled her head to the side. His eyes glued to the pulse on her neck.

"Don't be afraid pet, this is going to feel just as good to you as it will to me."

Faith watched as he sank his fangs in and was surprised there was no pain only intense pleasure that she never felt before. She shuddered and convulsed around his cock. Spike pulled her closer and drank greedily; her blood was like a drug that turned him on every time he tastes her. Moments later he moaned as he. It was more than one vampire could stand, and he instantly exploded inside of her.

Faith cried out again as she came hard convulsing around him. She smiled as she felt him pull out and sat up with her in his arms.

We have to try that again." Faith moaned.

Spike chuckled. "You're going to be the death of me slayer."

He stared at the wall behind her confused. He had all types of women in his time but he never felt the way he did now. He didn't know what to think of it but he wasn't going to admit he was loves bitch once again. He pulled her forward gently licking and sealing the bite mark on her neck.

"I guess I know what Buffy must feel now." Faith mumbled which scent a scowl to appear on Spike's face. "Fine I won't mention your enemy's name." she teased.

Moments later they got dressed and stepped out of the bathroom. Spike was first to notice there was another vampire in his house. He took a sniff and knew who it was. He looked to his right as no other then his sire stepped out of the shadows.

Angel smirked at him and was glad he scents Buffy back to the house. There was no way she would be able to fight them. "Spike just the chide i wanted to see."

Faith scowled at him. "Did you follow me?"

"Faith I know your involved with Spike but trust me whatever your feeling is not love. He will only hurt you in the process." Angel spoke.

"We didn't ask for your bloody comment you poof. You say you know what love is but you no nothing. You only feel for Buffy because you're infatuated with any one that's blond." Spike spoke.

"I am not infatuated with blonds you idiot." Angel moved forward only to have Faith stand in his way. "Faith don't do this."

"Oh I will if you're thinking about hurting him." Faith spoke walking away towards him.

Angel sighed wandering if he's able to take them both down. A slayer and his childe. This was going to be tough.

Spike sneered. Before Spike knew what was happening Angel lunged. Spike deflect the blow that was aimed at his head. Spike jumped back as Faith did a round kick to his face. Angel dodged it and kicked Faith back sending her crashing into a bookshelf.

"Faith." Spike shouted.

Angel blocked his path. "Stop playing like you love her Spike. It's all a fake."

"It's not a fake. I might be love's bitch but at least I admit it." Spike growled and lunged at him. The duel had begun. Spike hit him with a right hook sending him to the floor. Angel kicked his feet to the side knocking Spike to the floor. Angel stood up quickly kicked him as he crashed into the table.

"Is that all you got you poof." Spike spoke getting up and lunging at Angel again. Eventually this continued for a few moments they're both too tired to continue but Angel had some strength left and used it to his advantage. When Spike was on the floor trying to pull himself up Angel lunged grabbed the vase on the stand and hit Spike over the head with it.

"Bloody hell." Spike muttered before darkness took over.

Angel sighed and looked around noticing Faith was gone. Angel quickly picked up his ignoring childe and carried him out the door.

Instead of killing him it was best to get some answers of what the mayor was planning. Besides even as ignoring as Spike can be he wasn't sure if he could kill his chide.

Buffy shook her head slightly at her own selfness reasons to walk home alone. There were two men following her and it was late about getting dark. Besides she was pissed still when Angel told her she could not come with him. She understood why just it hurt to find her self so helpless like this. She frowned slightly as she heard someone humming. Turning her head back towards the corner where the two men stood in the next roads she frowned when she didn't see them. She quickly picked up the pace and started to run towards Angel's mansion.

"Men are so annoying." She mumbled.

She had carried on slightly jogging now, she was making a turn to the next street when she made a small squeak when she smacked into a man's chest. Taking a step back she looked up to realize it wasn't a man it was a vampire. She started to run but his hands grabbed her wrist pulling her near him.

"How does it feel to not be a slayer anymore?" the vampire said.

"You're the one that had me drugged." She sneered angrily.

"Oh yes the watcher Travers thinks your strong enough to overpower me. Such an idiot the man is. After I take my time killing you I'll kill that watcher." The vamp said.

Buffy started to panic. "Let me go."

"Can you say please?"

He held her wrists tighter pulling her into a dark alley and slamming her against the wall. She was going to have horrible bruises; if she lived through this."Get off of me, Help me"

The vamp rolled his eyes and looked at her neck surprisingly at the mark that laid there. "Well it looks like someone else already took a piece. I don't' think he would mind."

"I do mind." A voice said from behind.

The vamp turned around surprised. "Angelus."

If you know my name then you know she's off limits. Angelus lunged and staked him through the chest. He broke into ash as he caught Buffy in his arms.

"Buffy it's ok…I'm here now and I'm never going to let you go." Angel spoke carrying her home where she would be safe at.


Later that day

Quentin Travers was sitting in his office with a cup of coffee when the door slammed open. He looked up just in time to see Rupert Giles walk up to him and slug him in the face giving him a black eye.

"You foolish, pathetic fool. You could have killed her." Giles spoke.

"It was necessary Mr. Giles and I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt but now I see no choice… but to fire you."

"On what grounds?" Giles spoke.

"Your affection for the girl has rendered you incapable of clear and impartial judgment. You have a father's love for the child, and that is useless to the cause."

Giles was shocked by this. "You can't fire me…I quit." Giles spoke walking away from him. "If I find out you did something to hurt Buffy don't expect a pleasant visit the next time we visit.

"I don't think the council would see it that way. I think it would be best if you had no further contact with the Slayer."

"Your way over the bloody line here." Giles spoke.

"I think you better leave Mr. Giles." Travers spoke.

"No I think you better leave." Angel spoke walking to the room with his arms crossed.

"How the hell did you get in here?" Travers spoke quickly taking a stake from his drawer.

"It only affects pure vampires Mr. Travers." Angel said.

"Who are you trying to full? I know who you are. Your Angelus the scourge of Europe and the most dangerous vampire to walk this earth." Travers said.

"News flash…I have a soul and I don't kill anymore unless someone hurts the people I care about. Now like I said earlier you better leave or…" Angel was interrupted as Buffy walked in.

"If I get my powers back and your still here then there will be no escaping from me." Buffy said coldly. Angel smiled at her while Giles was glad they put Travers in his place.

"Ms. Summers working with the enemy is not the answer to your duties." He said.

"The only enemy I see is you at the desk. So like I said before leave town before I toss your ass out." Buffy walked out and slammed the door shut.

"Did you get your frustration out?" Angel smirked.

Buffy cupped his hand. "A little bit but pummeling something might be better. Oh maybe I can try it out on Spike since he is tied up at your place." She joked.

Angel smirked. "Were see what Spike has to say first before I let you pummel him."

"Oh goody." Buffy spoke.

Giles followed them knowing eventually things will be ok but as of right now he has a bad feeling this is only the beginning of their life.


Sorry for the long wait but I've been working on another story. I think I might write a few more chapters and end this with season 3.
