Friday Dec 25

I woke up to the sun coming through my window a room full of my friends and Family I was alive I didn't understand I turned to my left to find Angel sitting next to me I said "how am…"

Angel said "let's just say I'm glad you made me your medical spokes person"

Giles said "doctor Murphy called, when she told you, you were dieing she put you on a transplant list any way the problem was you had a murmur but with all the damage to your heart they could do nothing but when they got a call yesterday morning they called me yesterday afternoon I told them to send the heart Immediately here when Angel brought you Into the hospital we told him and sense you gave him your medical rights he signed off on It and suggested they do a by base sense your ventricles were so damaged and the blood clot were gone the thinners got rid of them but they still had to do the bypass because the ventricles were so damaged beyond repair"

Doctor Murphy came In said "from what I understand they told you what happened, I guess morning, you should be thanking Angel here for thinking quickly he saved your life"

I closed my eyes for a moment 'I guess I just wish he would save me' I smile I look at him "you always seem to come In and save me right In the nick of time"

he smiled "Is my job" I turned looking at the ceiling coving my face with my hands and for the first time sense the whole ordeal began I wept hard so hard I thought I was going to pull out my stitches I felt Angel's arms come around me and I felt safe he was really my guardian Angel once I calmed down he said "oh an Buffy I have a gift for you"

she kept her hands over her face he said "look"

she took her hands down opening her eyes she focused her eyes and found he was holding a ring box she saw the ring and It was the same ring she saw In her dream beautiful Diamond Claddagh ring with the huge heart and the different birth stones all over the band It was exactly the way she remembered It from her dream she said "are you serious"

he smiled "I can't get anymore serious... I have almost lost you far to many times, I'm not going to loose you again, would you make me the happiest man In the world, Would you marry me"

she smiled "god I never thought I would ever here you say those words to me"

Dawn said "Damn It answer the man"

everyone said "SAY YES"

Buffy said "hey I was savoring the moment, he's not going to ask me more then once" she looked at Angel "nothing would make me happier" as she sat up he kissed her forehead and she grabbed his face kissed homed ever so tenderly turning passion Dawn hit them "your In a hospital"

Willow said "you can put the knew heart to work In six weeks"

Angel said "oh doctor Murphy do you think she could get discharged for a party tonight It's a annual thing"

she said "only If she promises not to move around to much and pull out those stitches she'll have to sit still and no heavy food"

Angel said "I'll keep an eye on her"

Buffy said "I have nothing to where"

Angel said "oh I'll get you something"

The party was wonderful I never thought I would see It Dawn was ticked and said she was going to kick me once I was well I would be ready for her though we at we danced to the slow music here we stand at the bridge I look over the railing at the lights of Italy I smile from ear to ear Angel wraps his arms around me I rest my head on his chest "It was a great night"

he said "It was, and you were here to see It"

Buffy said "so you left those thing for me"

he said "what things"

she said "the book the ring"

he said "what are you talking about"

she said "the book the journal of your travels the pictures from prom the ring you first gave me"

he said "I never wrote a journal and all pictures and photos were destroyed when LA burned"

Buffy said "then the book" she smiled "I guess the powers were looking out for us for us after all" he held her tight they looked up at the stars

AN: Did you Really think I was going to Kill her… for shame On you, For shame
