I Dos *Part 2*

Friday Dec 22

The next morning, Buffy woke up, immediately aware of the sleeping form next 
to her. Smiling as she remembered of the past 3 days, she fell back asleep. 
Angel woke up about twenty minutes later, rolling over to study the 
beautiful, petite, blonde, slayer. He smiled as he remembered the previous 
day and watched her sleep until she began to stir. Buffy opened her eyes to 
find him staring at her.

"What are you staring at?"

"Nothing important." He replied with a shrug, the humor evident in his 
chocolate eyes. Buffy pushed his shoulder playfully, but she hadn't realized 
that he was on the very edge of the bed. Angel disappeared over the edge of 
the bed and moments later Buffy heard a loud thud and heard him yelp.

"OW!" Buffy looked over the bed and saw him laying there with half the sheets 
and he had the funniest look on his face. 

"Oh god, Angel I am so sorry. Are you hurt? I didn't mean to. Are you 
alright?" Buffy asked, the look on her face vasilating between thouroughly 
amused, and genuinely concerned. Angel looked her, his eyes dancing with 
amusement.

"Yeah, I'm fine, nothing broken or bruised. Nothing like getting thrown off 
the bed." 

"Angel, I am really sorry." Angel sighed. 

"It's ok." At his sigh Buffy completely gave up, and burst out laughing. " Oh 
Buffy..." She leaned slightly over the edge of the bed and he gently grabbed 
her wrists pulling her down on him. She let out a sqeak, as she landed on top 
of his frame. "How do you like it?" He asked. 

"Actually, it's not that bad, if your in my position." Angel turned them over 
so he was on top. 

"Yeah?" Buffy smiled.

"Or this one." Angel leaned in and they kissed. Soon after they showered, 
dressed and headed to the beach where they spent most of the day, also taking 
time to visit other places.

Saturday Dec, 23

Buffy and Angel were lying in bed together the morning of their last day in 
paradise, just enjoying each others company when Buffy suddenly raised her 
head from it's place on his chest and looked at him.

"Angel... I forgot we have to finish our Christmas shopping before we leave 
this afternoon, and it's already 9:30. Let's get ready, find some gifts, and 
hopefully we'll have enough time to head to the beach one more time. Sound 
good?" Angel nodded. A little over three hours later Buffy and Angel returned 
to their hotel room with even more packages. 

"We're gonna need two more suitcases just to take all these back! And then we 
still have to rap them all...by tomorrow." Angel groaned. Buffy just laughed 
and moved off to start packing. When everything but their swim suits and a 
change of clothes were packed Buffy and Angel headed out to the beach. They 
left for the airport just in time to catch their flight, and were back in 
Sunnydale by 8:00. They went straight back to Angel's apartment, and 
collapsed on the couch, but not before Angel carried a very happy Buffy over 
the thresh-hold. Forty-five minutes later Buffy groaned and stood up. 

"We have to wrap those presents. We're supposed to be at my mom's to help her 
prepare by 8:30 tomorrow morning. And I'm already exhausted." Angel smiled at 
her lovingly.

"Come here wife." He grabbed her and pulled her down next to him. She smiled 
at him, and raised her brow in question. "I'm going to go get the presents, 
and I'll wrap them. All you have to do it put the labels on, okay? Then we'll 
go to bed." Buffy nodded.

"Thank you husband." She replied as he exited the room. Angel returned 
moments later, his arms loaded down with packages. "My god, did we really buy 
all that?"

"Yeah..scary isn't it?" She nodded, and he set everything down and began 
wrapping. It was almost one o'clock by the time they were done, even with 
Buffy helping. "Wow...think we went overboard?"

"Probably. But they'll love everything." Buffy replied. "Now, let's go to 
bed." Angel stood up and swept his wife into his arms and carried her to bed. 

The next morning they loaded all the gifts into Angel's car and went to 
Joyce's. It was Christmas Eve so the slayer's mother invited the gang over. 
Willow explained that it was a Christmas/Welcome Home/Congradulations Party. 
Later that night everyone was chatting in the living room, all the presents 
having already been opened, and dinner consumed. Buffy was so exhausted 
thought she was gonna pass out. Noticing everyone deep in conversation Buffy 
got up and went into the kitchen to get a glass of water. Angel noticing she 
had left the room went to look for her. 

"Oh wife of mine," he called, but recieved no answer. "Buffy, sweetheart. 
Where'd you go?" Hearing water running Angel smiled and made his way to the 
kitchen. He watched while she got a glass of water and made her way to the 
table. Before she made it to the table she started to lean against the 
counter for support. She continued only to welcome a wave of dizziness and 
she started to fall. Angel was at her side in a second, and caught her, 
though he couldn't save the glass as it slipped from her hand. 

"Hey, you okay?" The dizziness beginning to disappate, Buffy shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess I'm more tired than I thought." Angel helped her up and guided 
her to the table to sit. He started to clean up the water and asked her if 
she wanted another glass. When he didn't get a response he turned around to 
fine her sleep with her head down on the table. He smiled and walked over to 
her and moved a piece of blond hair out of her face. "We'll go home now." He 
leaned down to kiss her forehead and heard her murmur, 

"I am home." Angel started to walk out.

"My home, which is now our home." Angel told the others Buffy was really 
tired and that he was gonna take her home. When they reached Angel's 
apartment, he layed Buffy down on his bed and five minutes later he joined 
her.

Monday Dec 25

Buffy awoke to a sweet aroma coming from the kitchen. She got up and found 
Angel cooking breakfast.

"Ok, last time I saw you trying to make breakfast, you almost burned down my 
kitchen." Angel looked up.

"Oh, well I learned how to since then." He leaned down and kissed her "Merry 
Christmas." Buffy placed another kiss on his lips.

"Merry Christmas to you too." Pouring herself a cup of coffed she went to sit 
down at the table and wait for her food. Angel finished dished out the food 
and put the plates on the table. "So when are we going to your mothers?" 

"Our mothers and as soon as we are ready. This is the family Christmas 
dinner. There are a few more presents in the hall closet, don't forget." 
Angel nodded, and went to retrieve them. When he came back Buffy was standing 
near the table her hands behind her back. He cast a questioning glance at her 
and set the presents down. 

"I get to give you yours first." Buffy said. 

"Buffy you didn't have to get me anything." 

"Angel, yes I did your my husband, and even if I didn't have to I wanted to. 
So be quiet and open." She handed him a small box. Angel took it and opened 
it. He gasped. It was a necklace with 2 charms. A cross and a charm that read 
TAKEN. Angel smiled and looked at her.

"It's beautiful.... I ... I don't know what to say exactly." Buffy smiled.

"Well don't say anything, your face says it all. Oh and by the way incase 
your wondering about the charm, it's so when the girls look at you, they can 
see the charm and know that your taken ." Angel smiled and brought her close 
to him. 

"I love you, ya know that?" Buffy kissed him.

"I kinda figured that. I love you too!" They shared a passionate kiss. Then 
Angel disappeared into the room and came back out with a little box similar 
to the one Buffy gave him. She took it and opened it. She lost the color in 
her face, she was so shocked. 

"Angel... I.. I.. Oh my god, It's beautiful, i can't even find the words. I 
don't know what to say." In the box was a silver ring, which had Buffy on it, 
and through the name was a stake. Buffy started to cry.

"Oh Please Buffy don't cry, you don't like it?" Buffy looked up at him.

"No Angel I love it, it's so beautiful." Angel smiled 

"Really? I just wanted us to remember how we met, the stake, see?" Buffy 
nodded and wrapped her arms around him. 

"I love you." 

"I love you too. Ready?" Angel said. Buffy nodded. 

They arrived at their mothers at 11:00. Joyce, and Hank were already there. 
After supper, and the exchange of even more presents, the four of them were 
sitting around chatting. 

"Um...hey mom, I know they were here last night, and this is family 
usually...but they are like family, and so...do you mind if I invite the gang 
over?" Joyce shook her head.

"No, honey, go ahead." Buffy smiled and walked into the kitchen to call 
everyone. Twenty minutes later the 'scooby gang' was assembled at the 
Summer's house. As Buffy looked around her she saw all her friends and family 
getting along, and was completely over joyed. Looking for Angel she spotted 
him over talking with Xander, and they were laughing. Buffy smiled. Xander 
and Angel were really getting along. She turned back to Willow. 

"So Bufy, when are you due?" 

"I'm not sure yet. I go to the doctor Thursday." Willow took a sip of her 
drink.

"Ya know school starts next week, are you ready?" Buffy faked a laugh. 

"I'm ready, but I don't want to go back. I mean I'm Buffy Summers, according 
to Synder I'm the student from hell." Willow gave her a look. 

"You'll be fine Buffy, don't let him get to you." 

"Thanks Will."

Thursday Dec 29

Buffy sat anxiously in the doctors office, waiting for the doctor to come in. 
Angel sat next to her, staring at the ceiling, and holding her hand. A nurse 
stepped into the waiting room and called Buffy's name. She and Angel both 
stood and followed the nurse to the examining room. She gave Buffy a gown to 
change into, and then left them alone. Buffy changed and seated herself on 
the table. Moments later the door opened and a doctor entered. Buffy looked 
up and smiled.

"Hi, I'm doctor Jenkins. You must be Buffy Summers" The doctor trailed off 
looking at Angel.

"Hi Doc. I'm Angel, her husband." He replied and shook the doctors hand.

"Okay, nice to meet both of you. Now I'm going to check some things here, if 
you'll put your feet in the stirrups and just lie back and try to relax. Sir, 
you might want to step out." Angel looked over at Buffy and she shook her 
head.

"No I want him to stay," she said to the doctor who merely nodded. 

Thirty minutes later Buffy had her close back on and was sitting and waiting 
for the doctor to return. Angel had his arm around her shoulder, and was 
rubbing her arm reassuringly. The door opened and the doctor stepped back in.

"Okay, well everything seems to be in order. It's too soon to be able to tell 
much, but everything seems to be just fine. I'd put your due date around 
September 7. I'd like to see you again in a month or so. How would that be?"

"That's fine." Buffy said, and Angel nodded.

"Do either of you have any questions?" 

"Yeah, is there anything I shouldn't be doing or eating?" Buffy querried.

"Um...no, not really. Just try to avoid really strenous activty. Or anything 
were your body is taking a great deal of impact." Buffy and Angel both 
grimaced, thinking of just how much a beating her body took being the slayer, 
but they both nodded.

"Okay, make an appointment at the front desk before you leave. I'll see you 
in a month. Congratulations!" The doctor stood up and left. Buffy stood up 
and looked down at Angel. 

"You ready?" Angel stood up and twirled Buffy around. "Umm Angel, not that 
I'm not enjoying this but the baby..." Angel stopped and put her down.

"Sorry guess I got excited. I'm just so happy,with you and our little baby. 
OUR little baby! I love you!" Buffy smiled, grabbed the back of his head and 
pulled him down for a long passionate kiss. 

"I feel the same way, I love you too!" she said when she pulled away. Angel 
smiled and kissed her again. 

"We need to start making plans. Get a house, babystuff, and... " he was 
stopped by Buffy puting her finger to his lips. 

"Angel, we have seven months to do that. Right now, we have to go get 
something to eat." Angel nodded and they both left hand in hand. "And ya 
know, you are hanging around Xander too much." Angel stopped walking

"How do you figure?" Buffy grunted and " Oh, 'Hi Doc' and 'How do you 
figure?' , please can you say Xander talk?!" Angel laughed. 

"Whatever." Buffy pointed.

"See, there you go again." 

"Am not." 

"Are too." 

"AM not!" 

"Are to!"

Friday, March 26

"What? Are you sure? On my god! You are! Ok, Oh my god! Yes, thank-you for 
calling." Buffy put down the phone. *Oh my god* "AARRGGG!!!" Angel came 
rushing in.

"Buffy, what's wrong?" Buffy looked up and she was crying tears of joy. Angel 
thought thought other wise. 

"On the phone... that was Dr. Jenkins.... She said... she says.. that. Oh my 
god!" Angel didn't know what to say. He wasn't sure if the news was good or 
bad. 

"Buffy what's wrong with the baby?" Angel said closed to tears. 

"Oh, nothing's wrong. Everything is perfect. Angel Prepare yourself. We're 
having twins." Angel fell back in shock. 

"What?, Oh WOW, that's great!" He leaned forward and pulled his wife to him. 
He pulled away and kissed her passionatly. "I love you." Buffy pulled away 
from his embrace, and looked into his eyes.

"I love you too," she smiled and hugged him back.
