Disclaimer: still belongs to Joss apart from Tia she is mine and Daryl's.

In the morning Buffy woke up to find Tia and Angel gone. She sits up to see the curtains are still pulled and there was no dust where Angel was laying so it was obvious that he was downstairs and that Tia was with him.

She climbs out of bed and walks down to the kitchen. When she looks in she sees that Angel is trying to make breakfast but Tia is on his back. This making it hard for him to move without dropping her. Buffy smiles at this sight. They haven't seen her so she walks up and picks Tia off his back. "That better?"

"A little. Did we wake you?" she shakes her head placing Tia onto a seat and then sits down next to her as Angel finishes making the breakfast. "You hungry?" he asks putting the last bits on the plates.

"Not really. I mean sure a little but I won't be able to eat this." There was a huge plate of food in front her that was about three times the size she usually eats.

"You need to eat." Angel says, she was very skinny, skinnier then last time he saw her.

"I do eat. Why are you saying this?"

"It's just you look skinnier and last night I woke up to hear you stomach growling."

"Angel it was a busy day yesterday. I was scared, that why I didn't eat much. I'm fine. Trust me." He smiled at her. He did trust her so he left it at that.

By the time they had finished this conversation Tia had eaten half her plate of food.

"Tia slow down. Are you starved?"

"No mommy. Sorry mommy." And then she continued to eat.

It was mid day and all the curtains where still shut so Angel didn't combust. Tia had asked why they were shut and the only reason Buffy could think of was so they could watch a film. This was a bad move seeing how Buffy and Angel was stuck watching children movies all day. Joyce had gone to work taking Lily with her and Dawn was at school.

"Mommy?" Tia ask turning around on Buffy lap.

"Yeah?"

"Can we go out somewhere, I'm bored"

"Yeah, why don't you two go to the mall and buy an outfit to wear to dinner." Angel says.

"We're going out for dinner?" Buffy asked Angel, she couldn't remember anything about it.

"We are now. You, me Tia, the scoobies and your family."

"Yeah right. We can't afford it."

"That's why I'm paying for it all, including the new clothes you are going to buy." Buffy didn't move she just stared at him. "Buffy I have my own business. It's OK."

"I just don't like taking money from people."

"You're not taking I'm giving."

"Thank you." She looks at him as Tia jumps off Buffy lap and onto Angels hugging him.

"Thank you Angel."

"Well you two better get going."

"You not coming." Tia getting sad that Angel wouldn't go with her and her mom.

"Nope he has to arrange the table and everything for tonight." Buffy says standing up grabbing Tia as well placing her on the floor, "go get your shoes on and grab a jacket." Tia runs up stairs and into hers' and Buffy's room.

Angel stands placing his arms around her waist "I want you to buy some clothess that are bright and summery."

"Ok. How about neon pink socks with a orange tutu and yellow top." She smiles at him.

"If you want." He leans down kissing her head.

"Mommy I'm ready." Tia is standing about 4 steps from the bottom on the stair chase; looking over the banister.

"Ok well we'll be back soon." He nods and hands her a credit card out of his jacket while she puts her jacket on. "You have a credit card. You know you should never give a girl and credit card right? We will spend until we can't carry anymore, then we buy someone to carry it for us."

"Just take it." She does. "Don't spend more than $1000."

"Really." Buffy getting excited at the thought of how many clothes she could get with that money, then she remembers that most her clothes get ruined. "Angel don't tempt me. My clothes get ripped and everything, I don't want to spend loads of money on them to get ruined."

"Ok" she walks to the door and Tia starts walking down the rest of the stairs but trips, almost falling down the rest of the stairs but Buffy grabs her and places her on her hip.

"You ok?" Tia nods.

"Buffy, be careful." Angel says.

"You don't need to tell me." Meaning that it's Tia that needs to be careful. "Bye"

"Bye" he kisses them both on the head and they go. He watches them go and couldn't believe the 15-year girl he fell in love with was now this extraordinary women he loved with all his heart.

At the mall Buffy first got Tia's outfit for the night. A blue dress with purple flower on it. She had little shoes to match and a black Alice band with a butterfly on it that Tia had fallen in love with. She also wanted a cute little bag that Buffy couldn't refuse buying either. Buffy had thought Tia would complain about having to go shopping for Buffy clothes but instead she kept pointing out clothes that Buffy really liked. In the end she bought a short skirt, which was black, she said she wouldn't wear black but how couldn't she not wear black? It looked good on her, she also bought a gothic looking top with a heart on it, the heart had barbed wire around it and angel wings coming off the back. She thought it suited her and Angel well. She also got black-heeled shoes. When they were looking around Buffy found neon colored socks and she had to tease Angel. She had found the pink neon sock, orange tutu and yellow top and bought them. She would let Angel decide what outfits she would wear tonight. When they were buying the stuff it was three o'clock so they went home after.

When they got home Joyce, Lily and Dawn where in the living room talking about Angel. Buffy walks in with the few bags and Tia runs in jumping on Angel's lap.

"Hey what did you buy?" Angel asks the smaller version of Buffy.

"She isn't going to tell you it going to be a surprise. You'll see later. "

She takes the bags upstairs will Tia takes her shoes off and throws them into the hall while Buffy walks down the stairs. "Tia don't throw your stuff around the house." She says firmly while picking them up placing them neatly by the door. Then joins everyone.

"Buffy did she complain a lot?" Lily asks Buffy.

"Nah she was good. She actually found the cloths for me." Turning to Angel "What times dinner?"

"About six so you got a few hour left to get ready."

"I don't take 3 hours to get ready." She looks at him shocked then adds, "Dawn takes the longest."

"HEY!"

"Shh." Joyce says to her daughter noticing her grand child has fallen asleep sucking her thump, she is curled up on Angel's chest.

Buffy looks and smile then gets up grabbing a camera taking a picture of the one of the best sights she has ever seen.

"Come on let's get her upstairs." Angel nods picking the tiny girl up in his arms and follows Buffy upstairs. Angel places her on the bed and takes off her jacket with Buffy watching by the door. When the jacket is off her covers her with a blanket and walks over to Buffy who looks sad.

"What's wrong? I didn't hurt her right?"

She smiles at his concern and then says "No. But I'm scared you're going to."

"What? No Buffy I'll never hurt her or you. I love you both."

"I know, but you're going to leave again. She grown so attached to you and when you leave she will miss you."

"I'm not leaving. Ever."

"Angel we both know you have to. You have your business. We can't be together." She is still looking at Tia and won't make eye contact with him until he lifts her chin up and then he sees the tears in her eyes.

He pulls his necklace out with the claddagh ring on it and holds Buffy's hand that has the ring on it and kisses the ring while still holding his own. "I am never leaving you again. Not now and not in a year, not ever. You're mine Buffy and I'm yours. Leaving you killed me; it hurt so much. I can't do it again." He places his forehead against hers and says quietly so only a slayer could hear it.

"You're my girl Buffy. Always"
