A/N: Thank you all for the encouraging reviews. Hope to get this wrapped up soon and working on a new one.
Disclaimer/Summary: See Chapter 1
"Buffy what does this mean?" I see the look in his eyes, almost pleading with me to give him his answer so I guess its time that I answer him.
"It means that I love you. In a way I always have it just took the past year almost for me to realize it." I pause I have to say all of this now or I never will. "You Rupert Giles are an amazing and wonderful man. You have been there for me through everything major in my life from my first love to my prom and my graduation. You were there when I died, both times and you held me up when mom died. Without you in my life and the love you have always given me I would have died the first time and stayed dead. You mean the world to me, and I do love you, more than you shall ever know."
"Buffy,"
"No I know you don't feel the same way as I do, I know you love me but I don't think it's the same way as I love you. We have a beautiful son together and your family name shall live on now because of him. I know that was a dream that you never thought would happen, and now it is one that has come to life. Leaving California has made our dreams possible and all of that is because of you."
I look down at the floor after I have finished speaking, the tears are now flowing and I can't stop them, damn pregnancy hormones. I am still holding his hand or is he holding mine, I'm not sure. All I know is that neither one of us has let go yet. Finally he lets go, and lifts his hand to under my chin and pushes it up so that I can look him in the eye. I see sadness and something else, but I'm not quite sure what that is. Before I can say anything he starts to speak.
"Buffy, you have no idea how elated I am to hear you say those words, all of those words." He pauses, this can't be good, can it? " I love you, with my whole entire heart. You were right, you have made my dream come true of having someone to carry on my family name. I never thought that would happen for me and now that it has I am over the moon with joy."
"Giles;"
"Wait, please allow me to finish." He pauses and takes a step back from me before he finishes his current thought process. "Elizabeth Anne Summers, you are the most wonderful, caring person that I have ever known. You give me strength I didn't know that I had, and you make me feel like a kid again when I am around you."
He lets go of my hands and starts reaching for something in his pocket. He's not doing what I think he is doing is he? Oh no I think he is, he just got one knee and is hiding something from me.
"You complete me and make me feel whole, just by your presence. Without you in my life I would have given up hope so many times. I have come to the realization that you are my reason for being and I would do anything that you asked of me now matter how great the task. What I am saying and well more asking is for you Elizabeth Anne Summers, my Buffy; will you do me the most dubious honor of marring me?"
He opens a box that had been concealed by his hand to show a beautiful wedding set. White Gold band with a Princess cut stone in the center with Princess cut baguettes on the side with a matching band. Absolutely gorgeous, Giles has good taste and its something I would have picked for myself.
I'm in shock, this isn't real. I'm dreaming this, after all I am Buffy, you know queen of impending doom and saving the world. This is my dream it has to be. I watch him as he is still kneeling on the floor holding the ring box towards me. He is nervous, nervous that I will say no, nervous that I'm too scared to make up my mind. So I take a deep breath before I begin to speak.
"Giles, I…."
A/N: Yep I did it again. Will post the remaining chapters as I write them, so hopefully the reviews keep my writing muse happy and I can finish it today.
