Feed back: Give it to me, but be gentle.

Willow's POV:

2 Years Later...

I was terrified. I had been avoiding Buffy all day. Every time she turned the corner, I turned down the opposite corridor. I just knew that if I saw her, I wouldn't be able to lie to her; that I'd spill the beans. Angel had made me promise not to tell her. I wanted to, really, I did. But, like I said, I had made a promise.

I was in my class room, grading papers when I heard the door open. I knew by the heels clicking on the linoleum, that is was her. The person I had dreaded all day.

"Hey Will." She said, cheerfully. I froze.

"Oh, uh... hey, Buffy." I stuttered.

"What's goin on? I haven't seen you all day." She said, sitting down on a chair in front of my desk.

"N... Nothin." I said, burying my head further into my pile of papers.

"Will, what's goin on?" She asked, more serious this time. I didn't look at her. She reached over and took my pen out of my hand. "Willow, talk to me." She said, slightly demanding.

"Buffy, I can't."

"And why not?"

"I made a promise."

"To who?"

"I told you, I can't tell you."

She cocked an eyebrow. "It's Angel." I couldn't believe it.

"How did you know?"

"Because, if it had been anyone else, you wouldn't have been as weird. Tell me."

"Alright, no need to push." I said, cracking like I knew I would.

"Angel asked me to make him human."

Buffy's POV:

"Angel asked me to make him human."

I couldn't believe it. Angel had asked Willow to make him human.

"Why?" I asked, extremely confused. Willow again, got all weird. She looked back down at her papers. "Buff, can I have my pen back?" She asked, not looking at me.

"Not until you tell me why." She sighed, and without looking at me said,

"He wants to marry Nina."

Paige's POV:

When Daddy started dating his old friend, Nina, the werewolf, I was less then pleased. I mean, sure, she was really nice, but it was like my mom was dating Ben all over again. As much as I liked Nina, I had always wanted my parents to get back together. Who doesn't? And, I figured that with him back from the dead, that they had another chance. Apparently, I had been very wrong.

Or was I?

After Aunt Willow turned Daddy human, he and Nina got married, and moved into a house just down the street from our own. Me and my sisters saw him plenty, but we wanted him back in the house. We wanted our parents back together. But then, things got even more hard, even more hopeless.

Nina gave me, Connor, Ava, and Kat a baby brother.
