Chapter 8
"Dad, you're not going to do anything drastic are you? I mean Buffy seems like she's been through enough in her life and for once Dean seems happy."
"No Sam, I'm not. Buffy said she's a Charmed One, they have a book that may be able to help us with finding out what killed Mary."
"Dad be careful."
"Don't worry Sam. The quicker this ends, the quicker you and Dean can have a normal life."
"Dad, don't, for once let Dean make his own decisions, let him be happy."
"It's not her Sam, it's her life. She's surrounded by the one thing that I don't want you and Dean in and once this is over, once this demon is dead. I don't want you or Dean in this life."
"But Dad,..."
"No Sam, that's final."
BACK UPSTAIRS
"Hey," said Buffy
"Hey, have a nice nap?
"Yeah, I did. You?"
"Best nap of my life," said Dean pulling Buffy into a kiss.
"Wow!"
"I agree."
"Oh my God!"
"Whar?"
"I can't believe I didn't think of this before."
"What?"
"My sisters, they can help."
"Help with what?"
"Help with finding the demon that killed your mom," said Buffy climbing out of bed and heading downstairs.
"Buffy, slow down, wait for me."
DOWNSTAIRS
"Buffy, wait for me," said Dean as he caught up with Buffy.
"Sorry, just stay right here. Paaaiiggeee, bring Phoebe. Leo bring Piper."
"Buff, what's going on?"
"Just watch, said Buffy as Paige orbed in Phoebe and Leo with Piper.
"Holy.."
"Yes, I know babe, shit."
"Hey sweetie," said Phoebe
"Hey guys."
"Buffy, what the hell?"
"Don't freak Piper. This is Dean, he's my boyfriend, but him and his Dad and Sam."
"Okay, honey. Just slow down," said Paige
"There's this demon and it killed their mom 22 years and it killed Sam's girlfriend a couple of months ago."
"Sweetie, you're babbling," said Piper
"What she's basically trying to say," said Dean "Is that my Dad, Sam and I need your help."
"Okay," said Leo "What's it look like?"
"Hang on, Daaadddd, Saaammm."
"Jeez, Dean," said Buffy covering her ears.
"Sorry, babe."
"Yeah Dean," said Sam
"Meet... uh"
"We're Buffy's sisters," said Piper "We're the Charmed Ones."
"Really," said John
"Yes," said Phoebe "I hear you need our help."
"We don't need your help," said John
"But Dad, weren't you just saying," asked Sam
"Sam," said John throwing Sam a "shut it" look
"Yes, we do Dad," said Dean "We need their help."
"Dean!"
"No Dad, I want this over with. I want to be with Buffy without having to worry that this demon is coming after her. I want to be able to have a life with her, maybe even marry her one day."
"Dean?"
"It's true, god Buffy. I know it's happening so fast and trust me I'm scared too, but for some reason I'm falling in love with you and it's happening so fast."
"I know, I feel the same way and it scares me, I don't know how or why, but I'm falling in love with you too and it's happening way to fast."
"We'll just take it one day at a time, okay," said Dean pulling Buffy into his arms.
The sisters, Leo, Sam and John just looked on in complete and utter shock. Phoebe could feel the love growing between that two.
"Wait a minute," said Piper "When exactly did you guys meet?"
"Ummm, a couple of nights ago."
"A couple of nights ago, Buffy how do you know you can trust him," asked Piper
"I agree with Piper," said Leo
"I just can, Piper. I trust him more than I've trusted any guy whose been in my life. Well except Leo and I can talk to him for hours and Piper you have to believe me when I say, I've never felt like this before."
"We do sweetie," said Phoebe "I can feel it."
"Huh," asked Dean
"She's an empath," said Buffy
"Again, I say huh?"
"She can feel others emotions," said Paige
"Exactly," said Buffy
"Oh."
"Are you even sure it's the real thing," asked Piper "I mean you don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to love."
"Hey," said Phoebe
"Well it's true," said Piper
"Yeah, You're right, but still."
"Okay, enough," said Paige "What'd you need?"
"Um, there's this demon and I've never heard of it before and Leo, maybe you have."
"Maybe, what's it do?"
"We don't exactly know for sure, but the way it kills that we know," said Sam
"Okaayyy," said Leo
"It pinned Mary, my wife, to the wall and the way blood on her abdomen, then flames shot out from all around her and I've been hunting for it for the past 22 years.
"I don't think I have. Piper, why don't I go check with the elders and Paige, you take them to the house?"
"Leo wait, do you think we'll be able to," said Paige
"Yeah, Buffy can take Dean and Sam, and you can take Phoebe andJohn and I'll just orb Piper home," Leo said as he turned to Piper. "Ready?"
"Yep," said Piper
"Home," said Leo with a wave of his hand
"Well that solved that problem," said Phoebe.
"Let's go," said Buffy "Sam, hold on. Dean, you ready?"
"Yeah," said Dean
"Okkaayy," said Buffy orbing to the manor.
"Okay, John just hold on and don't let go of my hand ok."
"Fine."
"Ready Phoebe?"
"Ready."
"Hanngg oonn," said Paige as they also orbed to the manor.
As Paige, Phoebe and John orbed out of the living room, a shadow watched their every move from outside the living room window."
"Sorry Dean, but I don't give up that easy," said Angel
TBC: More Angel being an ass, and more John being a jerk
Chapter 9
"Holy shit," said Sam
"That's what I said."
"You okay Sam," asked Buffy
"Yeah, that was just... wow!"
"You okay Dad?"
"I'm fine Dean, Sammy?"
"I said I'm fine Dad."
"Okay," said Paige orbing in with Phoebe "Everyone okay."
"As Faith would say, "We're five by five."
"Look it's late," said Piper walking into the room with Chris on her hip
"Aww, there he is," said Buffy walking up to Piper to take Chris "How you doin' little guy? You miss me. Piper he's getting so big, where's Wyatt?"
"He's coming."
"What are you talking a...?"
Before Buffy could finish, Wyatt orbed into the room
"Oh my god, Wyatt just.. wow."
"I know," said Piper
"Are you okay, I mean he's getting his powers so fast?"
"Yeah, Chris should be getting his soon as well."
"How's it goin' Mr. Man," asked Buffy as she walked up to Wyatt to give him a hug. "I have missed you guys so much," she said pulling her nephews into a hug.
"They've missed you too," said Phoebe
"You're nephew just orbed," asked Dean walking into the room with Sam and John
"He is half whitelighter you know," said Buffy
"I thought you said that it was forbidden for whitelighters and witches to be together and have kids," asked John
"It was," said Leo "But the Elders, my bosses, saw that Paige was another Charmed One and that Buffy who is also a Charmed One..."
"Leo, you're babbling," said Piper
"Anyway," said Paige "The birth of Buffy and I paved the way for Leo and Piper to be together and to have Wyatt and Chris. The Elders kind of caved when they saw all the good."
"All right, are we all done explaining things," asked Buffy "I'm kind of tired."
"Me too," said Dean
"Okay, lets figure out were we're going to put everyone," said Phoebe
"Well Dean can bunk with me," said Buffy
"Huh," said Paige
"Dean's my boyfriend," said Buffy
"Oh," said Paige
"Well I guess that leaves Sam and John," said Piper
"We'll be fine anywhere," said Sam
"How bout I grab a couple of pillows and blankets for you guys," said Buffy
"Okay," said Piper "Leo and I are going to go put the boys down and then we're gonna go to bed too."
"Night," said Phoebe, Paige and Buffy
"Night," said Piper and Leo
"Night," said Wyatt
"Night, Mr. Man," said Buffy pulling her nephew into a hug
Dean watched in aww as Buffy hugged Wyatt goodnight.
"What's that look for," asked Sam
"Nothing."
"Dean."
"What?"
"You have that look in your eye."
"What look?"
"The same look I had, when I looked at Jessica."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Okay I'm gonna head to bed too," said Phoebe
"Me too," said Paige
"Night."
"Night."
"Okay, let me get you guys blankets and pillows," said Buffy walking to the closet "All right here you guys go. I'm gonna head to bed, Dean?"
"I'll be up in a little bit."
"Okay," said Buffy giving Dean a quick kiss before heading upstairs.
"You okay Dean," asked Sam
"Huh? Oh, um yeah. I just can't believe how great she is."
"Dean, you guys just met."
"I know Sammy, but I have this feeling that I've known her forever and I just... I know she could be the one."
"I don't think so," said John "I will not accept this, I will not allow this at all."
"You really don't have a say in who I see," said Dean
"I'm just looking out for you, I don't want to see you get hurt," said John
"I can take care of myself," said Dean walking up the stairs
"I told you Dad."
"Sammy, don't. Okay."
"Night, Dad."
"Night."
UPStairs
"What I want is a hot shower, comfy pajamas and to fall asleep in my boyfriend's arms."
"Really," said Dean pulling Buffy into his arms and into a quick kiss
"Yes, that and a. very. comfy. bed."
"I agree, my head kind of hurts."
"Really, let me take a look at it," said Buffy bringing her hand to the bruise. "Well it seems okay, I mean the bruise is fading a bit, but it looks...
"What?"
"Umm," said Buffy "Don't panic, my hand it's glowing."
"What the hell does that mean," asked Dean starting to panic
"I said don't panic. Just relax, okay. Let me try something," said Buffy holding her hand over Dean's bruise
"Babe, what...?"
"Shh, just hang on. Do you feel anything?"
"It's kind of warm and tingly."
"I did it."
"What'd you do?"
"Look in the mirror."
"Oh my god."
"I got a new power," said Buffy jumping up and down "I got a new power."
"Should we tell your sisters?"
"In the morning, I'm tired. That kind of worn me out."
"Are you okay, I mean what you just did, that was incredible. What did you do?"
"I think I just healed you. I'll talk to Leo in the morning. Can I just take a shower, change and go to bed?"
"Can I join you?"
"I don't, I just..."
"Too fast?"
"A bit. I'm just gonna take a quick one and be right out," said Buffy walking to the bathroom and closing the door.
"Smooth Dean, real smooth. Stupid, of course. Uhh."
"See," said Buffy walking into the room "Quick shower and comfy pjs. How bout you go take a shower and here's a pair of Leo's sweat pants?"
"I'll be right back," said Dean giving Buffy a quick kiss and walking into the bathroom
"Way to go Buffy, just panic and scare him. It's not like you haven't done this before, I mean it's been a while, but damn. Nice way to freak."
"Hey, you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry about earlier. I just.."
"I understand. We'll take this slow okay," said Dean pulling Buffy into a kiss. "We 'kiss' have 'kiss' all 'kiss' the time in the world."
"Okay, lets get some sleep," said Buffy climbling into the bed.
"I agree, I'm so tired," said Dean climbing in next to her and pulling her into his arms "Goodnight, babe."
"Night Dean."
Chapter 10
Los Angeles-The Next Morning
"Hey Lorne, I got a guestion for you."
"What is it Angel-Cakes?"
"Um, I saw something and I wasn't sure what it was. I thought maybe you'd know what it is."
"Ookay."
"I saw someone disappear in a cloud of what look like balls of white lights."
"Oh, I think so, maybe I guess it could be orbing."
"Huh?"
"It's the way whitelighters transport themselves from charge to charge.
"Again I ask 'Huh'?"
"Whitelighters are kind of guardian angels for witches and future whitelighters. Who'd you see orb?"
"I didn't get a good look," lied Angel "Is there a way to track it?"
"Not that I know of, sorry," said Lorne exiting Angel's office
"Damn, I need to know where she went."
"Where who went Angel," asked Fred walking into the office
"No one. Uh, Fred, I have a guestion for you."
"What's up?"
"Is there a way to track a whitelighter?"
"I don't think so, boss. Why?"
"No reason. Thanks"
"You're welcome."
"Maybe I should try Dawn," said Angel after Fred left the office. He picked up the phone and dialed a number he memerized as soon as he found out where Buffy was living. "Hey Dawn its Angel. Yeah, its good to hear from you too. I was wondering if you knew where your sister was? No she's not. I'd really like to get a hold of her. San Francisco? What's she doing there? Her sisters? I didn't know she had and other sisters besides you. Do you know where in San Francisco? Oh, okay, thanks Dawn. You too, bye," said Angel hanging up the phone "So she's in San Francisco. Harmony, call the airport and have them prepare the jet."
Airport
"Where to boss?"
"San Francisco, please," said Angel boarding the plane "Hold on Buffy, I'm comming."
San Francisco
"Mmm," said Buffy as she snuggled deep into Dean's arms
"You keep that up and we'll have a problem on our hands."
"Oh really," said Buffy as she turned around to face Dean "What if I do this," she asked as she pulled Dean into a kiss
"Definitely gonna cause a problem," said Dean pulling her in for another kiss, deepening the kiss until they couldn't think straight. He nipped at her lips begging for access. Buffy opened her lips allowing him access and allowed him to explore her mouth with his tongue. Within seconds kissing turned into a heavy makeout session. As Dean went to take a step further, Buffy pulled away.
"Too fast," asked Dean
"A bit, I mean it's been a while since I've done and I'm just a bit nervous and I..."
"I understand okay. We'll take it slow," he said pulling her in for another kiss
"Buffy," said Phoebe from the other side of the door "Piper made waffles, bacon, the whole nine yards."
"I think I'm gonna like this. You make breakfast yesterday and Piper makes breakfast today."
"Yeah well get used to it. Piper does a lot of cooking. Come on," said Buffy leading Dean out of the bedroom and to the kitchen.
"Holy jeez," said Dean walking into the kitchen with Buffy
"Like I said, get used to it. Piper is a crazy when it comes to cooking."
"Hey," said Piper
"Well it's the truth."
"We agree," said Phoebe walking into the room with Paige who also happened to agree.
"They're right honey," said Leo kissing his wife
"Okay fine. I get a bit hectic when it comes to cooking."
"A bit," asked Buffy laughing
"Okay, okay. We get the point. Eat before it gets cold."
Buffy and Dean joined Piper and Leo at the table with the rest of the gang.
Meanwhile...
At the airport
"Don't worry Buffy, I'm comin'," said Angel thinking he was gonna be the hero yet again.
TBC
Chapter 11
"I don't think I have ever been this full," said Dean walking upstairs with Buffy
"Well Piper loves cooking and expect this from now on."
"Really!?"
"Yep, cause both Piper and I take care of the people we care about."
"You care about me," asked Dean pulling Buffy into his arms with a cocky smile.
"Yeah," said Buffy rapping her arms around his neck. "I do."
"Well I care about you too," he said giving her a kiss
"BUUFFYYY," yelled Phoebe from downstairs
"WHHAATT?"
"SOOMMEEOONNEE'SS HERE TO SEE YOU."
"PHOEBE STOP YELLING," yelled Piper.
"I"LL BE RIGHT THERE."
"Oww."
"Sorry, I'll be right back," she said giving him a quick kiss
"I'll be right here."
"Why don't you take a shower, get changed and I'll show you around San Francisco."
"Sounds good."
"All right," said Buffy walking down the stairs
"Buff, wait."
"Huh?"
"What about you? Shower I mean."
"No problem."
With a spin her outfit changed and she looked like she just showered.
"How'd you-"
"I'll tell you later," she said heading down to see who was at the door for her.
"What have I gotten myself into," said Dean running a hand through his hair.
"What indeed," said John, who was hiding in the shadows.
DOWNSTAIRS
"Angel, what are you doing here," said Buffy contemplating whether or not to call Dean
"I came to see my girlfriend," he said trying to pull her into his arms and give her a kiss
"Angel, stop," she said shoving him away from her. "I'm not your girlfriend, I'm Dean's girlfriend."
"Come on Buffy, you and I both know he'll never be able to keep you. You're too strong and powerful. He'll feel just as Riley did in the relationship. You know that he'll feel inadaquate and weak next to you. He'll leave just like Riley and Spike. But I'll always be here Buffy."
"Why are you doing this, Angel," asked Buffy with tears in her eyes. "Why do you feel the need to hurt me, to bring me down? I'm happy Angel. Why can't you let me move on?"
"We're soulmates, Buffy. We belong together. You know it as well as I do."
Tears were running down Buffy's face.
Upstairs
Dean just got out of the shower and began feel like someone kicked him in the stomach. He knew something was wrong with Buffy. Pulling on his boxers and pants, he grabs his shirt and runs down the stairs. "Buffy," Dean whispered to himself.
Back Downstairs
"Buffy," said Dean walking up behind his girlfriend and noticing Angel in the room. "What the hell are you doing here? I thought I told you to stay away from her."
Buffy jumped at the sound of Dean's voice and immediately turn around where he was standing.
"Buffy, baby," said Dean pulling her into his arms. "What's wrong," he asked cupping her face and bringing her eyes to meet his. "Tell me, what happened?"
"You're going to leave me aren't you?"
"What are you talking about," asked Dean ignoring the grin that appeared on Angel's face and he wanted nothing more than to wipe that smirk off the son-of-a-bitches face.
"You're gonna leave and I'm gonna be alone and," said a sobbing Buffy
"Buffy, look at me," said Dean trying to get her to look at him "Babe, look at me, please. Thats a girl," he said as she turned her head to look at him. "I'm not going anywhere. NO, look at me," he said when she tried to turn away from him. "Look at me, I'm not going anywhere."
"You say that now," she said "But in a couple of months you'll get annoyed with my abilities and you'll leave. Just like Riley, just like Spike."
"What did you say to her," asked a pissed off Dean getting up to confront Angel
"The truth," said Angel "Do you really think you'll be able to keep her? You're a man Dean."
"What the fuck is your point?"
"The point is that because you're a man, you'll start to feel inadaquate. She's stronger than you and you and I both know that you wouldn't be able to handle it. You won't be able to take it and you'll leave just like Riley."
"What about you, you stupid fuck, huh," asked Dean shoving Angel across the room.
"STOP IT," screamed Buffy
"Huh Angel," Dean said pushing Buffy's screams from his thoughts. "You left her too, or did you forget."
"I left for her own good."
"No, you left because YOU felt weak around her. I could never leave her. She gives me the strenght that I need to fight. She IS my strength. I love her and I'm not going to let you brainwash her with your lies to make her think otherwise."
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE," yelled Piper coming into the room
"This asshole is upsetting Buffy," said Dean grabbing Angel by the collar of his shirt.
"DEAN, stop. He's human, you can't. Please," said Buffy as Piper came up beside her.
Dean turned around to face his girlfriend and as he let go off Angel's collar, Angel grabbed Dean and threw him across the room.
"DEAN," yelled Buffy running over to where Dean landed. "God, are you okay?"
"You think he's human."
"He's right," said Angel comming up behind Buffy. "I'm not human. I'm not a vampire either. I'm stronger than before. You see the Senior Partners at Wolfram and Hart knew what would happen, so they gave me an upgrade and boom instant strength, well more than your's anyway."
"Dean, I..."
She didn't get to finish what she was saying because she was thrown from Dean and hit the wall with a loud thud.
"BUFFY," yelled Piper and Dean at the same time.
Piper ran over to where Buffy lay.
"Leeeooo," yelled Piper
Angel didn't care what he had done and he picked Dean up and threw him towards the fireplace.
"She will never be your's Dean, accept that. She will always be mine," said Angel who had Dean by the throat attempting to strangle him.
Angel was to wrapped up in trying to kill Dean, he didn't see Leo orb in.
"She's not breathing," said Piper
Leo knealt down and began to heal Buffy. It only took a couple of seconds and Buffy was up. Feeling much better she got up, drew a fireball at Angel and threw. Angel dropped Dean and fell to his knees beside Dean.
"Buffy," said Angel gasping for air "How'd you?"
"NO, that's none of your concern. This is over Angel," she said drawing another fireball but dropped her hand with the fireball still in it.
"You can't do it. You couldn't even do it when I was evil and now you can't do it because you still love me. Face it, you can't kill me."
"Good bye Angel."
And with those words Buffy threw the fireball, killing Angel. Dean looked up at his girlfriend and pulled her into his arms. She started crying as soon as she felt Dean's touch.
"Shh," said Dean "He was your first love, you did what you had to do."
"That's not why I'm crying."
"Then why are you?"
"Because..."
"Because, why?"
"Because you said you love me."
"You're crying because I said "I Love You."
"Yes, and I love you too," she said pulling him into a kiss.
"I hate to interrupt, but I need to make sure Buffy's okay. She took a really bad hit," said Leo
"Okay," said Buffy
Dean stood up and helped Buffy to her feet.
"Thanks," she said moving to the couch "Leo I'm fine."
"But I'd feel better if I looked you over," said Leo bringing his hand to Buffy's head
"Babe isn't that what you did last night?"
"What's he talking about," asked Leo
"I got a new power. I think I healed Dean last night."
"You think," asked Piper
"Well my hand did what Leo's did," said Buffy
Leo looked over Dean.
"What is it Leo," asked Piper
"He had a bruise on his face last night and I didn't notice it this morning but the bruise is gone."
"Wait, does that mean, what I think it is," asked Piper
"What are you talking about," asked Dean
"Buffy did get a new power, she has the ability to heal now. Dean do you want to know why she was able to heal you?"
"Why," asked Dean
"She was able to heal you because she's in love with you and she trusts you. The only way for a whitelighter to get this power, is through love. Not love for a sister or for family, but for the love of another, a soulmate," explained Leo
"See, told ya I got a new power," said Buffy smugly
"And it's all because you love me," said Dean pulling Buffy into his arms "Well let's see what else you can do?"
"Hey Piper, can we use the training room," asked Buffy
"The training room," questioned Dean
"Sure, just be careful."
Downstairs-Basically it's the basement which was transformed into a training room by Cole.
"Okay you ready," asked Buffy
"Yeah, and Babe..."
"Yes."
"Don't hold back."
"Are you sure?"
"Definitely, I wanna see what you can do."
"Well don't say I didn't warn you," said Buffy throwing the first punch, which Dean easily blocked. She kept going with everything in her, throwing roundhouse kicks, left hooks and right hooks, everything she had learned, but Dean kept blocking them.
"Okay, you're good," said Buffy "Let's make this more interesting, wanna add a weapon."
"What kind of weapon?"
"A staff. It's the first weapon I learned how to use, so I figure, why not see if you can."
"Can what?"
"Use it."
And he could, he met her blow for blow. They continued this for about ten minutes, until Buffy dropped her staff and Dean knocked her off her feet.
"Damn," said Buffy breathing heavily
"What?"
"I don't think that anyone and I mean anyone has been able to keep up with me ever."
"Really."
"No, not even Angel or Spike could keep up with me."
"Well, I guess Angel was wrong."
"What are you talking about?"
"Angel said that I would never be able to keep you because I would always feel insecure about myself whenever I'm around you."
Dean got closer to Buffy, never realizing the smirk that appeared on her face as she kicked his feet from under him and rolled to straddle him.
"Well he's wrong," said Buffy "I love every single thing about you."
"Really," said Dean knocking Buffy's arms out from her and rolling them so that he was on top. "And I love every single thing about you."
Dean pulled Buffy into kiss.
"God, you taste so good," said Dean "And you smell even better."
"But I'm all sweaty."
"I know but you smell like you," said Dean kissing Buffy again, this time deepening it this time. Dean moved from her mouth to her jaw, then nibbled his way to her ear, down to her neck.
"Dean," said Buffy gasping for air. She could feel his arousal pressing into her stomach. "Dean, slow down."
"Sorry," said Dean pulling away
"No it's not that," said Buffy sitting up to look Dean in the face "I just want to take this slow and get to know you more before we get intimate."
"It's okay, how 'bout we go upstairs and take a shower."
"You go ahead. I have to talk to Phoebe real quick.
"Okay, I'll see you in a bit," said Dean giving her a kiss and heading upstairs.
TBC... Another one of Buffy's ex's is gonna make an appearance, so brace yourself for some either Riley or Spike bashing.
