I own none of the characters of Angel
Cordy awoke a few hours later. She was slightly disoriented from the previous day's events. The last thing she remembers is the Werkley Demon. She feels someone stir beside her. She looks over and came face to face with a sleeping Angel. He had his arms wrapped protectively around her.
My hero. She thought smiling. A thought suddenly crossed her mind and her smile quickly vanished. She shook Angel to wake him.
"Cor, what's wrong?" He asked sleepily.
"The kids. I don't remember. Are they… Did we… Oh God. Please tell me you didn't save me instead of them" She said as tears began to fill her eyes.
"Shhh, it's ok. It's all right." He said soothingly
"No. It's not. They haven't even begun to live. They had their whole lives in front of them. I have lived a full life…" Angel put his finger to her lips.
"Cordelia, the children are all fine."
"Really?" She sniffed
"Really." He said smiling.
Cordy threw herself on top of Angel and deposited happy kisses all over his face. She slowly moved down. She kissed his neck, his shoulders, and slowly moved down to his finely sculpted chest. As she continued to move downward she suddenly stopped when she came across the wound on his abdomen. Her hand gently caressed it.
"What happened?" She asked softly
"The Keeper stabbed me." He said nonchalantly
"Does it hurt?"
"Hmmm a little, but its better now. You know me, I heal quickly." He said as he pulled her back up to him.
"Thank you." she whispered softly
"Your welcome. For what?"
"For saving the children, when I failed.
"Baby, you didn't fail."
"I let The Keeper cast a spell on me."
"You didn't let him."
"I did, because if I didn't he was going to break The Jar right then and there. He said that my connections to the PTB and my demon part would be very valuable."
"You did what you had to do. Cordy, you were willing to sacrifice your life for the lives of the children. God, you continue to amaze me." He said and he kissed her softly. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." She said as she snuggled with Angel and fell back asleep.
--
She saw a man, she saw Angel drinking from a weird looking bottle, she saw Angel undressing her, making love to her, she saw Angel, not Angelus when it was over.
"What the hell" She mumbled as she sat up in bed. She had woken up about 10 minutes ago and was still trying to motivate herself to get a shower, when this cryptic vision hit her.
She placed her hand on Angel's side of the bed. It was cold. He must have been up for awhile. Sighing she headed for the bathroom to get ready for the day. An hour later she was heading to the lobby.
"Morning." She said happily
"Morning" Came the various replies. Angel met her at the bottom of the steps and kissed her.
"Good morning beautiful." He whispered.
"So anything new?" she asked
"No, things tend to be peaceful right now." Wes responded
"Angel, I need to talk to you." She said and he took her by the hand and led her to his office.
When they got to the office he took her in his arms and began to kiss her.
"I love these talks." He murmured
As much as Cordy was enjoying the kiss, she pulled back.
"I had a vision."
"Why didn't you say so sooner? Let me grab the gang." Cordy grabbed his hand to stop him.
"It doesn't concern them. It was about us."
"Us?"
"I saw you drinking something, then we were making love and when it was over, you still were you."
"Huh?" Cordy sighed
"You drank something. We did the deed. You became really happy. Angelus stayed buried." Angel was silent for a minute.
"What do you think it means?"
"I think that maybe we can and you won't."
"What about what I was drinking? Do you think that it has to do with why I don't change into Angelus?"
"It must of, or why would I of seen it." She said. Angel pulled her into his arms, each of them lost in their own thoughts.
"Do you want to make love?" He asked her softly.
"Hell yeah. Do you think that I suddenly became a prude?" Angel laughed
"Cor, I am so sorry that we haven't."
"Hey, I knew what I was getting into and what I wouldn't be getting when we fell in love."
"You said that you would be fine if we never did. Do you still feel that way?"
"I do. Don't get me wrong, sex with you would be, like wow, but not being with you would destroy me. I love you."
Angel kissed her deeply, putting everything that he felt for the woman in his arms, into the kiss. Suddenly, they heard someone coughing.
"Sorry, guys, there is someone here to see you." Said a clearly embarrassed Fred.
"Who?" Angel asked
"Both of you." Angel and Cordy looked at each other questioningly. They shrugged their shoulders and headed to the lobby.
"Sorry for interrupting." Fred whispered to Cordy.
"Don't worry about it." She said smiling
When Cordy got to the lobby she looked at the man standing before her. She has seen him before in her vision this morning. And in his hand, he held a familiar looking bottle.
