"Don't worry about it." Xander said from where he was cleaning up debris. "It took weeks for us to decide on a name for David. You'll come up with something eventually. The important part is that you love him."
"True." Leo smiled. "He's amazing.
"I feel the same way about my kid." Xander agreed. "Well now, I think we need to do a little celebrating. Welcome to the world, kid. I have no doubt you're going to make a splash."
Later, after teaching the girls how to make dimensional pockets, Xander and Cordelia reluctantly prepared to leave.
"It's time for us to get going guys. We've got to get back to work." Xander told them. "But it was great seeing you guys again, even if the circumstances were less then ideal."
"It was." Piper agreed. "And thank you for helping protect our baby."
"You'd have done the same for us." Cordelia replied, as she hugged Piper.
"We would have." Piper agreed.
"Before we go, I'd like to try healing the scar tissue in both Phoebe and Paige. My method of healing is different then Leo's and may smooth out the scar tissue." Xander theorized.
"I'm willing if you are." Piper agreed. "I don't want to ever go through that again."
Xander pulled out his hammer and held it near Piper's hip. He concentrated on healing and the hammer glowed. After a few moments the glow stopped. "I think that does it." He said. "Your turn, Phoebe." He held it near her head and concentrated again.
"Well. Piper can get an x-ray to determine if there's anything concerning. On the other hand, Phoebe, you probably won't know until you get another premonition." Xander told them.
"Oh, don't worry." Ava said. "I intend to have them all in for tests. Who knows what other hidden issues there might be. We're family and I'm going to make sure you're all taken care of!"
After hugs all around, Xander took Cordelia's hand in his. They materialized back in the area outside the land of the gods.
"Very well done." Thor congratulated them as soon as they appeared.
"I agree." Artemis smiled warmly at the pair. "Very well done. We're proud of you both. How about you take a little break before your next mission begins?"
"Sounds good, I want some time with David." Xander answered.
"So do I." Cordelia agreed, as she picked him up.
A couple of days of pure bliss spent relaxing and playing with their son and then it was time for their next official mission. In time Alexander McCleod and Cordelia Chase would ascend to their godhood.
What would their purview be?
To be concluded in Immortal Sunnydale.
