Connor exists he's Buffy and Angel's son; Johnny is Buffy's older brother from her father's first marriage. Johnny drops in every now and then to check on Buffy, Connor, and her friends.

Part 1

//Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction or a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless
I'll find some peace tonight//

Buffy only came to Caritas when she needed information or when she was depressed like now. The redheaded slayer knew her friends wanted to help, but they simply didn't know about her past and didn't understand why she was depressed all the time. They had tried to get her out and have some fun, but that never lasted for more than two hours.

//In the arms of the angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent revelry
You're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here//

As Buffy was singing and swaying her hips all the male demons in the room were going crazy watching her hips. Lorne was trying to read what she allowed which wasn't much, but he could tell that she had been hurt and was dealing with it the best could. He knew she was compassionate, caring, and loving which was why she and Connor were so close.

//So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees//

Buffy noticed that Johnny and Gunn walked in and stopped when they saw she was singing and listened to the words and feeling behind the song. Gunn knew that Buffy was depressed, everyone at the Hyperion knew except for big bro.

//In the arms of the angel far away form here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent revelry
In the arms of the angel; may you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of the angel; may you find some comfort here//

Buffy had tears in her eyes and walked off the stage to Lorne for any information and walked by Gunn and Johnny. "Sweetie that was great. You're sad and missing your mate." Buffy glared at him and said, "I could have told you that! Come on Lorne I need information on the new demons in town."

"All I know is that some demons plan something big and nasty, it also involves Wolfram & Hart." Lorne said sighing. "Surprise, surprise." Buffy said wanting to scream. "Buffy?" Johnny called. "Hey Johnny, Gunn. I didn't see you guys there. Thanks, Lorne." Buffy said leaving. "Are you going home?" Gunn asked. "Yeah. You coming to see me and Connor? Or is it Anne?" Buffy said teasingly.

"Both. Do you think Anne would go out with me?" Johnny asked. "You won't know unless you ask her." Gunn said. "You're right, Gunn." Johnny said. "So are you gonna ask her out finally?" Buffy asked. "Yes." Johnny said sighing. "Finally!" Lana said.

Part 2

"Do we have any idea what these demons have planned?" Giles asked. "Unfortunately no." Xander said. "Maybe the demons are in cahoots with bunnies to take over the world." Anya said. Everyone looked up at her from books with strange looks on their faces, "Anya don't be ridiculous." Willow said noticing Dawn was asleep. Dawn had suffered a lot her sister running away, her mother running off with some guy, and Buffy coming to check on her after Joyce ran off. It had taken Dawn months to tell anyone about it. Everyone could tell that Angel was hurt Buffy knew he was back, but didn't even call them and tell them she was okay.

"Any information in the books about the demons?" Giles asked. "No. I can't find anything based on the description Xander gave." Angel said practically glaring at him. "Don't blame me! That's all I could see of the demon."

"I've got an idea on someone who could help us." Doyle said. "Who?" Giles asked. "He lives in LA and owns a club named Caritas. He reads people's souls and gives them information based on what he says." Doyle said.

"Are we going or not?" Anya asked. "An, honey we have to think about it." Xander said. "I'd say we go. What about you Giles?" Angel asked. "I say we go. It'd probably help if Buffy was still here."

Part 3

Buffy, Gunn, and Johnny got to the Hyperion ten minutes after they left Caritas and teased Johnny all the way there. "Mommy, mommy!" Connor cried running toward Buffy. "Connor honey don't run in the hotel." Buffy said. "Sorry mommy. Hi Uncle Johnny." Connor said running and giving him a hug. "Hey bud. How are you doing?" Johnny asked smiling. "Fine. Me and Uncle Spike were playing hide and seek." Connor said. "I never thought that I'd trust Spike with my son much less my life." Buffy said smiling.

"Go ask her Johnny." Gunn urged. "Anne can I talk to you?" Johnny asked. "Sure." Anne said smiling. "I was wondering if.maybe.you wanted to go.out with me on Saturday?" Johnny stuttered. "Sure I'd love to." Anne said. "Was that so hard?" Gunn asked. "Not really." Johnny said.

"Well I need to put Connor to bed and then I'm going to bed." Buffy said. "All right night Buff." Gunn and Anne said. "Night Johnny. Say night Connor." Buffy said. "Night everyone." Connor said smiling and yawning.

Part 4

"Are you sure this place is safe?" Xander asked noticing all the demons in the club. "There's a protection spell around this place that prevents fights. There's the Host over there." Doyle said walking towards him. Everyone followed him and saw the owner was a demon and practically collapsed from shock.

"Doyle haven't seen you around for a while." Lorne said. "Been helping friends with some business. We need information." Doyle said. "Well, Angel cakes you need to sing." Lorne said. "What!?!" Angel exclaimed. "Doyle didn't explain? When you need information you have to sing." Lorne said. "Why can't somebody else do it?" Angel complained. "The leader has to sing, it's part of the process." Lorne said.

"What song are you singing?" Cordy asked. "I'm not singing!" Angel exclaimed. "If you don't we won't get any information." Doyle said. "Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you." Angel said. "What song you singing? I have a friend who once sang Here With Me by Dido." Lorne said not mentioning that Buffy was his friend. "No I'm singing Hero." Angel said.

//Would you dance
If I asked you to dance?
Would you run
And never look back?
Would you cry
If you saw me crying?
And would you
Save my soul, tonight?
Would you tremble
If I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh, please tell me this
Now would you die
For the one you loved?
Hold me, in your arms tonight
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You take my breath away
Would you swear
That you'll always be mine
Or would you lie?
Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care.//

Everyone flinched including Lorne. Angel couldn't hold a tune much less sing. As Lorne was reading Angel he saw the whole forbidden love thing and figured out the mystery that was Buffy Summers and saw why she was so depressed.

//You're here tonight
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Oh, I just wanna hold you
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well, I don't care.
You're here tonight
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away your pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away your pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
I can be your hero//

As Angel stepped off the stage Lorne walked towards the him and the gang, "That was interesting Angel cakes. You guys need help, there's a group of people who are hunting the same thing. Their good people including their leader, I'll call them."

"I can't believe Lorne called so late he knows Buffy needs her sleep." Anne grumbled. "We know Anne. He should have asked about Buffy first." Gunn said. "Guys what up! Can I come to?" Fred asked. "Sure, babe." Gunn said kissing Fred. "I am so happy for you guys." Buffy said with Anne agreeing. "Thanks." Fred said.

Gunn's cell phone started to ring and he said, "Man, I wonder who's calling? Hello? Oh hi. What's the problem? Oh. OK." Gunn handed the phone to Buffy and said, "It's Johnny. Connor wants to talk to you." Buffy took the phone and said, "Yeah, give him the phone. Hi honey. Mr. Gordo? It's under your bed sweetie. Well check in your toy box. Tell Johnny to look on my bed. Good. OK. I love you too, baby. Night."

"Mr. Gordo?" Gunn looked at Buffy like she was crazy. "Used to be my stuffed pig, until Connor was born. I gave it to him when he was born." Buffy said smiling at the memory. "Buffy you need to focus on the task ahead." Anne said. "Right. Well I'll go get some drinks and be on my way to Caritas." Buffy said stepping into the 711.

Part 5

"Here they come. They should help you." Lorne said grinning. "Lorne stop accepting cases for us. You know how she'll react. She'll kill you." Anne said. Giles and the gang stood up and asked, "Who's she?" Gunn looked at Giles and said, "Our boss. Oh, hey Wes. When did you get back from London?" Wesley looked at them and said, "Just landed. The Council actually thinks I'm gonna crawl back to them? In their dreams!"

"I know what you mean. They don't know anything about slayers and how they fight." Giles said. "Where the little boss?" Wesley asked smiling. "She stopped at the 711 to get some drinks and don't call her little boss." Gunn said. "Ok. Jeez. No sense of humor?" Wesley asked. "Gunn, I think your phone's ringing." Fred said.

"Hello? Hi, Johnny. No, she's not with us. Wesley's here. OK. Connor wants to talk to you." Gunn said handing the phone to Wesley. "Hello? Oh, hi Connor. Yeah, I'm coming home as soon I leave. Tell Spike to stop eating all my wheaties in his blood. Ok, see you soon." Wesley said disconnecting the phone.

"Spike!?!" Angel exclaimed. "Yeah. Why?" Anne asked. "Vampire Spike, right?" Xander asked. "Yeah, but he can't hurt anyone." Fred said. "Why not?" Giles asked. "He said some government army guys put a chip in his head while he was in Sunnydale." Anne said. "Besides he's a great friend and helps us out a lot." Gunn said. "Doesn't sound like him." Angel said.

"Considering he's in love with our boss, he'll do anything for her including watch her back and watch Connor." Anne said. "Is she coming or not?" Wesley asked. "I don't know where she could be." Gunn said.

Part 6

"It's time to die slayer." One of Dru's minions said. "Like I've never heard that before." Buffy said smirking. "I, Morgan will kill the strongest slayer in history." He said. "That's what you think." Buffy said loud enough for him to hear. Morgan charged and Buffy kicked his feet out from under him. Morgan went flying through the air and landed on a tree trunk and got knocked out cold. "Vampires! They are so dumb about knocking themselves out." Buffy said trying to carry him to Caritas.

"Sorry, about being so late guys." Buffy called. "Buffy? Is that you?" Angel asked. Buffy looked at him and passed out while everyone ran toward her. Gunn and Fred tied up the vampire with crosses and holy water.

Part 7

"Buffy come on wake up!" Anne said. "Johnny? Connor?" Buffy called out. Angel looked at her friends a little hurt and confused. "She'll tell you in a minute." Fred said. "What happened?" Buffy asked. "You passed out." Anne said. "I had the weirdest dream some old friends found me, along with Angel." Buffy said. "It wasn't a dream." Xander said.

"I'll deal with this later. Did you tie up Morgan?" Buffy asked hopefully. "We tied up the vampire, if that's who you're talking about." Gunn said. "Sorry about that. Well Morgan how about some info?" Buffy said dangerously walking towards him. "No, Dru will kill me." Morgan said. "What do you think I'm gonna do to you? How about we call Faith?" Buffy asked menacingly.

"No! Not her! She's crazy!" Morgan said. Buffy grinned at him and said, "Are you gonna talk or not?" Morgan looked at her and said, "Ok. What do you wanna know?" Buffy looked up and said, "What's Dru planning?" Morgan looked surprised, "I don't know. All I know is that it's supposed to bring Spike and Angelus crawling back to her." "Ok, thank you." Buffy said untying him and turning her back to him. Morgan took the opportunity to charge her, until Spike yelled, "Pet, look out!" Buffy grabbed the stake and jammed it into his heart smiling, "Moron. Thanks Spike. Where's Willow and Dawn?"

"No problem. If it isn't Peaches and the crew from Sunnyhell." Spike smirked. "Be nice. Do you know what Dru's planning?" Buffy asked. "No. She talked about it like two hundred years ago, but I can't remember what's called." Spike said. "Come on, back to my place. We'll research it." Buffy said. "Dawn and Willow are in a café." Angel said.

"Lorne can I talk to you in private?" Buffy asked. "I can't sweet..." Lorne tried to say, before Buffy grabbed his ear and pulled him into the next room, "Oww. Sweetie quit that hurts." Buffy looked at him and said, "That's the idea. How could you? You knew I'd been hurt and yet here they are. Did you call them and ask them to come here or did you say I know where your slayer is wanna know?" Buffy yelled.

"Buffy's gonna kill him." Gunn said laughing. "I'd hate to be him." Fred said. "Who are you guys?" Giles asked suspicious they were acting like her family. "I'm Gunn, this is my girl Fred, this is Anne, and Wesley." Gunn said. "How did you meet Buffy?" Xander asked. "Well me and Buffy opened a Teen Shelter together for homeless kids and that's when we met Gunn and Alonna. They're parents were killed by vampires and demons. Alonna was kidnapped and turned, Gunn had to kill her." Anne said sadly.

"I was assigned to Buffy as her new watcher. She wouldn't talk about why she left and I still don't know why. She refuses to talk about Sunnydale was it?" Wesley asked. "Yeah." Anya said sighing. "I was fired two years ago and they keep expecting me to crawl back to them. Fat chance." Wesley said. "Well, Buffy and the crew saved me from Lorne's dimension. I was a cow because I was human and Lana was a queen because she has the gift of telepathy." Fred said. "Man. How come all of you know Lorne's name and I've known him for years and I never knew it?" Doyle asked. "Buffy asked him. So he told her." Anne said. "Oh." Doyle said.

"I thought I was bringing you two back together." Lorne shouted. "I let you read me so many times. I never told anyone about that and you knew. How could you!?!" Buffy shouted hurt evident in her voice. Buffy walked out and said, "Lana can you please come here?" A brunette popped in from nowhere and said, "What can I do for you?" Buffy looked up at her and said, "Can you please stay at the Hyperion and watch the rest of Shelter?" Lana nodded and disappeared.

"Where is my car?" Cordy shouted. "Did you leave the keys in it?" Buffy asked. "Yeah." Cordy said. "Well, I can tell you're the same. What is it?" Buffy asked. "It's a '98 black convertible." Cordy said. "Gunn track down Michael and his crew. Fred go with him. Anne come with me." Buffy said.

Part 8

 

An hour later

 

"Hello? Gunn, did you find it? You did great. Can you come over here? We're at the corner of Rodeo Drive. No, you know I'm kidding. It's the corner of Caldwell Drive. Ok, see you then." Buffy said hanging up.

"Hey need a ride?" Gunn asked. "That was fast. Where were you?" Buffy asked. "Half a block away." Gunn said grinning. "Very funny. Come to the Hyperion Hotel. Angel knows where it is. Right." Buffy said handing the keys to Cordy. Fred and Gunn got into Buffy's '98 Ford Explorer. "Yeah. They're on their way, but first they have to pick up Willow and Dawn." Buffy said.

Part 9

"Mommy, mommy!" Connor yelled running toward Buffy. "Hey sweetheart. Why aren't you in bed?" Buffy asked. "He hide from me and I couldn't find him, until I yelled mommy's home and he came running out of his room." Johnny said smiling. "Well, let's go tuck you in." Buffy said smiling. "Ok, mommy." Connor said.


10 Minutes Later

"Buffy sure has a nice place." Xander said. "I'll say." Cordy said. "This is Buffy's place?" Dawn asked surprised. "She said Hyperion Hotel, this is the only one." Angel said. "How do you know?" Xander asked suspiciously. "I stayed here for a while in 1929." Angel said. "Really. Is it still a hotel?" Giles asked. "No. They closed it down." Angel said.

"Oh, I thought I heard someone out here. Come on in. Pike go tell Buffy that everyone's here." Fred said. "Ok, sis." Pike said running up. Buffy came walking down the steps with Pike and some other blonde guy. "Guys I want you to meet the rest of the crew. This is Pike, Fred's half-brother, that's Thomas, and you know the rest of the crew. Except for Johnny. Dawn I would like you to meet our older brother." Buffy said smiling.

"Brother?" Dawn asked shocked. "Yeah. Dad's old girlfriend showed up 3 years ago and left him there. That was when he quit having us for the summer." Buffy said. "Johnny that's Dawn, Willow, Xander, Cordy, Giles, and Angel. I don't know the other three." Buffy said. "This is my Anya my wife, that's Tara Willow's girlfriend, and that's Cordy's boyfriend Doyle." Xander said. "Your married? Congratulations! I'm so happy for you." Buffy said. "I'm glad I have a brother." Dawn said running and giving Johnny and Buffy a hug nearly cutting off their air supply.

Part 10

The whole gang had a book and were deeply engrossed until Spike came running in, "Pet. Have a book for me?" Buffy looked up at him and tossed him a book. "What a minute." Angel said. Everyone looked up, "Gunn didn't you say that Spike was in love with your boss?" Gunn looked at him and said, "Yeah. So."

The Scooby Gang finally realized what Angel was getting at and said, "Gross! Spike's in love with Buffy!" Cordy yelled. Dawn cracked up and said, "I always knew that. Why do you think he was never able to kill her? He talked big, but she's still here."

"Buffy? Have you and Spike." Angel trailed off. "No! Gross! I would never sleep with Spike! Are you insane?" Buffy yelled. "Mommy! Mommy! Help me!! Pwease!" a little boy screaming from upstairs. Buffy ran up the stairs and they all noticed the baby monitor on the counter. "Mommy!?!" Cordy yelled.

"It's all right, baby. Mommy's here. I won't let anyone take you away from me or anyone else. Promise." Buffy said. "Ok. Will you sing me a lullaby?" Connor asked. "Ok. What do you want to hear?" Buffy asked. "My Hwart Will Go On." Connor said smiling. "OK." Buffy said clearing her voice and started to sing.

//Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance, and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on//

//Near, fear, wherever you are
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on//

//Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on//

//Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on//

//You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on//

"Who's the little boy you sang to?" Giles asked. "You heard me?" Buffy asked. "Yeah. Now who is that little boy?" Giles demanded. "Keep your voice down. Jeez. His name is Connor." Buffy said. "Who's Connor?" Dawn asked. "Connor is my son. He's almost four." Buffy said. Everyone was shocked, including Angel who asked, "Your son? Where's his father?" Buffy looked at him and said, "You're his father." Everyone was shocked again and Angel shouted, "What? My son? That's not possible! I'm a vampire!"

"Duh! You think I don't know that? After I came to LA and met Anne we decided to open a Teen Shelter together. When it was being built, I started getting sick, and Anne forced me to go to the doctor who told me that I was three months pregnant. I knew it was you." Buffy said. "Where is he?" Angel asked. "He's upstairs. Asleep." Buffy said. "Let me see him." Angel said. "Okay. Follow me." Buffy said leading him upstairs.

Part 11

"I can't believe I have a son. He's so beautiful." Angel said watching Connor sleep. "He sure is. He looks just like you. He's the only reason I'm still living." Buffy said. "My son. Connor. That's an Irish name." Angel said. "I know. I looked it up and named him Connor Liam Summers after his daddy." Buffy said smiling.

"Mommy?" Connor stirred. "I'm right here, baby. Connor your daddy's here." Buffy said. Connor opened his eyes and said, "Daddy? You're my daddy?" Angel looked at him and said, "Yeah. I'm you're daddy." Connor launched himself into Angel's arms, hugging and kissing him. Connor fell asleep with Angel holding him and together Buffy and Angel tucked their son into bed together.

"I have a son with the love of my life." Angel said leaning down and kissing Buffy on the mouth gently at first then passion overtook them. Buffy pulled away and said, "We can't. Your soul." Angel looked at her and said, "It's permanent." Buffy pulled him to her room and let passion rule.

Downstairs everyone listened to the exchange and when they heard them laughing together, they were touched by the love between them. They listened to Angel and Buffy and knew what was happening when they heard them kissing and Angel telling Buffy about his soul. Cordelia said, "It's about time! What like you weren't thinking the same thing?" Anya laughed and said, "I agree with Cordy."

"The stars are talking to me, they're saying the mean slayer and my daddy are together with a little boy. Spikey is that you?" Drusilla called softly. "Yeah, pet it's me." Spike said walking to her and knocking her out. Spike picked her up and slung her over his shoulder and carried her out without a struggle.

"Hey slayer! I've got a present for you! Oww! Shit, she's up!" Spike yelled. "Where's Buffy?" Spike asked. "She's with Angel in her room having sex." Anya said. What?!? They're back together again. Man!" Spike asked. Everyone cracked up, including Dawn.

"I'll go knock on her door. Buffy? Are you in there?" Anne called. "Yeah. What is it?" Buffy asked. "Spike brought Drusilla." Anne said. "I'll be right down." Buffy yelled. Anne came down a minute later and said, "She's coming."

Buffy came down first, followed by Angel a few minutes later. Buffy walked toward Drusilla and said, "Hello Dru. How've you been?" Drusilla cowered and said, "Get away from me! You'll all be sorry you took my grandma away again. Spike you're all lost, even I can't help you." Spike looked at her and said, "No, Dru. I've finally found where I'm supposed to be."

"Didn't her minions try and stop you?" Buffy asked. "No. Maybe they finally realized she didn't know what she was talking about." Spike said. "Buffy?" Giles asked. "What did Dru mean about you taking her grandma away again?" Spike looked at everyone and said, "You didn't tell them about Darla?"

Buffy looked up and said, "I forgot. Anyway this evil law firm Wolfram & Hart brought Darla back human. I tried to help her, but by the time Darla started listening she realized she was dying. I went through this trail thing and tried to save her life, but she told me that maybe this was her second chance and she was supposed to die as a human. Lindsey and his friends barged in with Dru and Darla was turned, while I watched and couldn't do anything about it. I tracked Darla down and killed her right in front of Dru and Lindsey."

"Dru how about we play a game called 20 questions about what you're planning and how to stop, but if I don't like your answers.well let's just hope that you don't have to see what happens." Buffy said. "No! I'll never tell you and neither will my minions." Dru said. "Really. Come on in Harmony." Buffy said.

Part 12

"Hi Mommy." Harmony said vamping out. "Harmony's a vampire! When did that happen?" Cordy yelled. "Harmony came to become an actress and met up with Dru who turned her, but somehow Harmony kept her soul and got a conscience. She's really changed from high school." Buffy said. "Harmony do you know what's she's planning?" Buffy asked. "Yeah. She said that it was going to happen in Sunnydale. She said that it was supposed to open the Hellmouth and the Master would crawl out and make her his queen or something like that. She said that if Angel and Spike wouldn't come back to her, she would hunt them down and torture them for years until she killed them." Harmony said smiling.

"Harmony? Why are you doing this?" Dru asked pathetically. "Because I'm not like you. I'm not a monster, or a killer. I actually have friends, who care about me. Cordelia I'm really sorry about how I treated you in high school after Xander." Cordy looked at her shocked, "Ok. I don't know what to say. It'll take some getting used to, but I can get used to the new Harmony, I think." Spike looked at Buffy and said, "Let's go to Sunnyhell."

Part 13

"What happened to the high school?" Buffy asked. "Mayor turned into a big snake and tried to kill everyone at graduation." Willow said. "Whoa! Wait Faith told me about that. She said she transferred to his side." Buffy said. "You know about Faith?" Xander asked. "Yeah. She tried to kill me. She turned herself in for the crimes she committed and should be getting out in a few months, I go and see how's she doing twice a week." Buffy said. "Why?" Anya asked. "Well, she's a nice person. She had a tough childhood, then she was called, then she watched a vampire named Kakistos torture and then finally kill her watcher and she couldn't do anything about it." Buffy said.

"Watch out!" Xander shouted. "Faith? What are you doing out?" Buffy asked. "I got out for good behavior. I went to the Hyperion and Johnny told me where you were, so here I am." Faith said. "We have to stop the opening of the Hellmouth." Anya said. "Okay. Who are you?" Faith asked. "Xander's wife." Anya said proudly. "Congratulations Xander. I'm happy for you." Faith said smiling.

"Faith, Willow, Tara, Giles take the vampires on the right. Gunn, Fred, Cordy, Doyle take the vampires on the left. Anne, Anya, Xander, Harmony take the ones tying to escape. Me, Spike, and Angel will take the middle." Buffy said. "Go!"

The vampires looked up and watched the warriors shocked and they were shocked even more when they saw Harmony. The leader shouted, "Kill them! Don't let them stop us!" Buffy looked to see how everyone else was doing and saw how well they fought, even Anya. Willow and Tara were being surrounded and Buffy was about to shout out, until she saw the vampires fly into the wall.

Buffy was shocked and got knocked off her feet, when the leader tried to bend down and bite her. Buffy knew she needed help and that's when she saw Angel stake him through the back and help her up. The Hellmouth was starting to open then Buffy and Angel attacked the vampires opening it with a spell. Buffy yelled, "Lamente! Nici, nici, al mort, finite! Asa sa fie! Lasa sa fie va transporta! Lamente, lamente!" Buffy was knocked to her feet after the vampires disappeared, everyone was shocked. Angel ran to Buffy and said, "Buffy? Wake up. Come on baby. Wake up!" Buffy opened her eyes and said, "Angel? Did it work? Are they gone?" Angel smiled and said, "Yeah. We won!"

"Buffy what was that?" Xander asked. "A spell to destroy all evil in sight and to undo the opening of the Hellmouth." Willow said while Tara nodded her head in agreement. "Where did you find that? It was supposed to be lost." Giles asked. "My grandmother." Buffy said. "Huh?" Willow asked. "My grandmother on my dad's side is a natural born witch. It skips the male children; it only transfers to the female children. So me and Dawn are natural born witches." Buffy said smiling.

"How long have you know you were a witch?" Giles asked. "Since my grandmother died when I was 5. I was afraid of it. I was afraid I couldn't control it, but Lana helped me learn to control it. Thanks for the help Lana!" Buffy shouted to the sky. "Your welcome, my friend. Now I must go until your daughter is born." Lana said smiling.

"Ok. That was a little weird." Xander said. "When it comes to Lana, you have to trust what she says. She's never steered us wrong." Buffy said. "Buffy?" Angel asked. "Yeah." Buffy said. "Will you marry me?" Angel asked. "Yes! Yes!" Buffy shouted jumping into Angel's arms.

"Oh, great! Now their gonna be a lot worse." Cordy said. "Shut up! You and Doyle are the same way." Willow said.

A Year Later

Buffy and Angel had gotten married less than a year ago and were happy as ever. Dawn moved in with Buffy and Angel and was doing a lot better in school and was happier. Johnny and Anne got married a year later and moved in with his sisters, and brother-in-law, and nephew. Drusilla was never heard from again, although rumor was Spike dusted her after she was released. "Angel? I have something to tell you." Buffy called. "What is it?" Angel asked. "I'm pregnant." Buffy said. Angel grabbed her and they went to their room and celebrated all day. Gunn and Fred got married a month later. Doyle and Cordelia got married two years later.


THE END
