"Willow? Hi!" Buffy said into the phone.

"Buffy, what's up?" she asked.

"Hold on, I'm gonna try that 3-way dialing thing."

Buffy brought Cordelia on and delivered the news.

"Angel proposed to me," she said excitedly.

"What?" they both screeched.

"Did you accept?" Cordy asked.

"Duh! Of course!" she chatted and giggled with them for awhile. She asked Willow to be her Maid of Honor, Cordy to be a bridesmaid and dress designer. They both happily accepted.

Angel had called Xander, Oz, and Giles to the library.

"Yeah, Dead-boy, what's up?" Angel and Xander had become good buddies, so he ignored the comment.

"I asked Buffy to marry me, and she said yes," he told them.

"Way to go, Angel!" Oz said.

"Congrats!" Xander said.

"Yes, I wish the best of luck to you," Giles added.

He asked to Giles to be his Best man, and Oz and Xander would be groomsmen.

It was July 23rd, and it was time for the wedding. Buffy was wearing a long, silk gown in light blue. She was wearing a diamond silver tiara with a train. She had matching diamond earrings, necklace, and bracelet. Her sandals were white satin with a 3 inch heal. The bouquet was mostly of lilacs and a lily with a bit of baby's breath.

She heard a knock on the door to the dressing room. "Buffy, it's me. Can I come in?" she heard Angel say. She opened the door.

"It's bad luck," she scolded.

He grinned and grabbed her around the waist. He covered her mouth with his like he'd done many times during their make out sessions in the graveyard.

They finally parted. "You look beautiful," he observed.

"You, too!" she exclaimed. He was wearing a black tux with his hair doing that spikey thing.

They both heard the sound of the bridesmaids approaching from the other door. Angel gave her one last kiss. "Later," he said. She watched as he slipped out the door.

The wedding was everything Buffy had dreamed of. They'd said their vows, and the "I dos." After that, they had the cake smashing, throwing of the bouquet, the garter thing, and then they left. They were going to Ireland for their honeymoon.

Julian and Jaide were staying with Joyce, and everyone else promised to help out.

They stepped off the plain into the airport terminal. After finding their bags, they headed outside into the cool air of Dublin.

"Where were you born?" Buffy asked Angel.

"Galway, it's a ways away."

"It's nice here. Quiet, beautiful," Buffy observed.

Angel laughed. "I hated it. I wanted to see the world. I liked adventure."

"Has it changed?" Buffy asked.

He nodded. "Of course."

They took the airport shuttle to their hotel. It was a nice mansion with antiques. The employees wore traditional Irish clothing from about the time Angel was 17.

"Brings back memories," he told her with a smile. Now he remembered how ridiculous his clothing had been. Tight and ugly.

They were shown their room, which was on the top floor. It was large with an oak canopy bed in the center. A huge dresser was on the right and the bathroom on the left. A mirror was in the corner and paintings decorated the walls. It was gorgeous.

They unpacked their clothing and decided to explore the grounds. Hand in hand, they walked outside.

"Angel, I love it here," Buffy breathed. "I can't believe you hated it."

He gently kissed her hand. "I was 18," he started.

"I'm 18," Buffy reminded him.

"Yes, but much more mature than I was, and I wasn't exactly the saint of the house," he told her. "I never did my work, always ran off, fooled around with..." he stopped when he realized what he was saying.

Buffy turned to him and grinned. "Fooled around with what? Or should I say, whom?"

He smiled sheepishly. "The barmaids, they were easy."

Buffy laughed. "You really were a bad boy."

"I'm told I was pretty good," he hinted.

"Really?" Buffy faked amazement.

"I'd love to hear your opinion," he hinted again.

"Well, I don't remember, it was a one night thing," she loved torturing him.

He pulled her back towards the house. "Maybe I could refresh your memory."

She stopped and said seriously. "I do not want to end up having triplets or something, Angel."

He laughed. "I got that covered."

They raced upstairs to their room.

The rest of the vacation was mainly spent in that room, particularly, the bed, but besides that, they explored the town, went for walks, and out for breakfast.

It was Friday, and they were on the plane that would take them home. Buffy leaned against Angel. "I wonder how everyone got along?" she asked.

He scowled. "You called them everyday, sometimes twice."

"Yeah, but it's my job to worry," she said.

"You're good at it."

He ducked when her hand went flying towards his face.

The whole gang, Giles, Xander, Willow, Cordy, Oz, Joyce, Julian, and Jaide were waiting at the airport terminal. Angel took both of his babies and kissed them softly before handing them to Buffy.

"Did you guys have fun?" Joyce asked her daughter.

"Yeah, it was great."

"I've always wanted to go to Europe," Cordelia sighed.

"I'll take you for our honeymoon," Xander said.

"What? Now we're getting married?" Cordy squealed.

"Just kidding!" Xander held up his hands. Then he whispered something into her ear. She giggled and they sped off.

"What's up with them?" Angel asked.

Willow filled them in. "Cordy's pregnant."

"Damn, domino affect," Buffy muttered.

They held a small party at Joyce's house in the backyard. Everyone was there, including Cordelia and Xander with their son, Nathan.

Julian had dark hair and was a younger image of his father. Jaide's hair was light brown and held the appearance of her mother. Both could walk, and were dazzling children.

"Julian! Jaide!" Buffy called to them. They were running around giggling with Nathan who was barely two.

They ran to their mommy who put a little hat on both of them. Buffy laughed. "They look so cute!" Julian wrinkled his nose and ditched the hat, much like Angel would have done, but Jaide was fine with it.

They had cake and ice cream, and the twins opened presents. It was time for another announcement. They'd had quite a few, like when Xander and Cordy decided to get married, and when Oz and Willow decided to. Now, it was another from Oz and Willow.

"Well, big shocker, but we're going to have a baby," Oz told everyone.

Willow gave birth on January 9th to a little girl which she named Jenny, after the late Ms. Calendar. Giles and Joyce who had gotten together 6 months before, were the first to congratulate her.

Buffy and Angel where next. "Will, she's beautiful!" Buffy exclaimed.

Angel agreed. "We wanted you two to be the first to know," Angel started looking at Willow and Oz. "That Buffy's pregnant again."

Everyone was excited about the news, especially Jaide and Julian who were going to have a new brother or sister.

The baby was a girl, Chelsea, and they had another boy after that, Devon.

Xander and Cordy only had Nathan, but Willow and Oz had another girl, Melanie. Joyce and Giles never had any children in their old age, but the youngsters lived on forever as immortals.

It was hard to go the funerals of Giles and Joyce who had eloped, but as soon as each child was 17, they were given a choice to become immortal or not. Only Nathan and Melanie refused, and later got married.
