A/N: Wrapping up, maybe two more chapters left until complete. Then I can get to work on another fic.

Disclaimer/Summary: See Chapter 1

So I finally work up the nerve to ask Buffy to marry me. Maybe it was a little too soon after the birth of Edward to ask, but she just told me everything that I have ever wanted to hear from her and have been waiting to hear from her. I can tell that I have completely caught her off guard, it was the last think that she expected from me. I hear her catch her breath before she begins to speak.

"Giles I…" Before she can finish Edward begins crying from his spot in the crib. Buffy quickly goes to him while I drop my head and begin to stand. I place the ring box back into my pocket and walk back into the babies room to join her; mainly to see if there is anything I can do to help her with our son. Also in part to see if she will answer my question.

As soon as I reach her, I find she has calmed him and managed to get him back down with the help of his binky. For someone who thought that she would never be a mother, Buffy is doing a wonderful job. As I watch her watching our son, I know she is thinking about her answer. Perhaps I did bring it up too soon, but now its out there and it will be the elephant in the room as long as it goes unanswered. She turns to me, and before I can even finish saying her name, she starts talking.

"Ask me again."

"What?"

"I said ask me again, right now without any interruptions." I see the look in her eyes, so brave and bold, ready to answer any questions that I may have for her. I don't get back on my knee cause lets face it, I'm in shape but not that good of shape. I pull the ring from my pocket and open the box to her hopefully for the last time.

"Buffy, will you marry me?"

"Yes, Rupert Giles, I will marry you."

"Really?" I ask almost perplexed. Then before I know it I am smiling a huge smile and Buffy is beaming at me with those blue eyes of hers. She takes the engagement portion of the ring from the box, leaving the band there for a later date and holds it to me to place on her finger.

"Really, can I wear this now?"

"Allow me." I slide the ring onto her finger and notice that it is a perfect fit and almost like it was meant to be there. I look into her eyes and see the love that I have for her starring right back at me.

"Its beautiful."

"Just like you are." I lean in and kiss her and as the kiss deepens I know that this moment is one of many from that past few weeks that I will never forget for the rest of my life.

A/N: See you all thought I was going to do it again didn't you. Never bet on a sure thing. One more chapter to wrap everything up and then it will be complete. Please review.
