Part Two

"ANGEL!!!!" was Buffy's distressed cry. Her one and only true love, Angel, was dying before her very eyes. "ANGEL DON'T LEAVE ME! I NEED YOU! GOD, PLEASE......" she exclaimed.

"Buffy....it's over, he's gone," said Willow, Buffy's best friend.

"NO! IT'S NEVER OVER! IT'LL NEVER BE OVER! NEVER!" she cried.

Buffy looked at Angel, and touched his handsome face. "It's really over, isn't it?" she whispered. Her face turned ashen and she passed out.

Willow looked over to Buffy, who was crying hysterically. She couldn't believe Angel was gone. What did Buffy said before? Willow thought. WAIT! She had said that she..

"Buffy, about what you said before...you're pregnant with his child?" Willow said.

"What? Oh, God....I forgot. I am. We.." she said, not bothering to finish her sentence.

"Buffy! He got you pregnant?! Huh?! How!? " exclaimed Xander.

"Well, first he-" Buffy started, joking. She stopped. How can I be joking when my lover is dead? thought Buffy.

"Yeah yeah yeah I know about that. We didn't have 2 years of Sex Ed. for nothing," said Xander.

"It was the only class you paied any attention in, Xand," said Oz.

"I'd better call Mom on her cell," said Buffy. "You know, to tell her Faith's dead." She went inside and dialed her number.

"Mom, Faith's dead." said Buffy without emotion.

"What? How? What happened?" asked Joyce.

"We were over at Angel's because he was really sick. I was upstairs and Faith came to the window and asked if he was ready to die. She shot him. Mom, Angel's dead....." said Buffy. She couldn't finish. Willow took the phone from her.

"Mrs. Summers, Faith shot him. It killed Angel, and then she shot Buffy. Oh, God. She shot Buffy.....GILES! Oh, my gosh. Then she shot herself. We'd better get Buffy to a hospital. I'll call you from there. Bye," said Willow.

Buffy had blood seeping through her shirt. She was really pale. She tried to stand and couldn't without pain. Xander picked her up and walked outside to Giles's car. Oz and Giles thought they should take Faith, seeing as they didn't know if she was dead. The did, but not without an arguement with Buffy. She finally gave in.

Buffy remained in the hospital for two days for observation. Her mother was there, and Buffy told her how she was pregnant with Angel's child. She told her of their plans to get married. None of this is going to happen now. Angel's dead. Omigosh, he's in Hell. He should be in Heaven, but I know he's in Hell. I'm never going to see him again.......thought Buffy. Oh well...I still have his baby. I'll love her or him as much as I love Angel.

Faith was also going to remain in the hospital for observation but she was in a coma. Nobody really cared.

It was a week later, and Buffy was still grieving Angel's death. Giles, Willow, Oz, and Xander were in the library when Willow screamed, "I FOUND IT!!"

"What is it Willow?" asked Buffy anxiously.

"I found out how to get Angel back!!" she cried.

"HOW?!" screamed Buffy.

"Well, you have to do a spell -I can probably do that- and it'll make his soul permenent. Then, his partner has to be immortal. Then you have to go to Hell to rescue his soul. The hard part is, you have to go by yourself and with only your soul. No body. And you have to recognize his soul," she said. By this time Cordy had walked in. "HEY! I just found a spell to make us all immortal! Anybody interested?" she said, grinning.

"ME!" cried Buffy. She and Angel could be toghter forever.

"Eternal youth and beauty? Hey I'm in!" cried Cordeila.

"Will, we could be toghter forever," said Oz.

"Hey, if you all are in, then so am I," said Xander.

Giles hadn't commented but he looked worried. "Buffy, if you're going to do this, you have to do it quickly. Once a soul reaches Hell, it will be tortured. The soul would...for lack of a better word....expire. In other words, he will be dead and gone eternally if you don't get there in time," he said.

"Then we're going now. Correction-I'm going now," she said firmly. "Wills, you do the eternal spell on everybody once I leave. When I get back you can do it on me. I love you guys."

Willow started the incantation that would open the vortex to Hell. It would only be open for a limited amount of time, and only Buffy and Angel could come out. Buffy stood before the vortex and it opened up. Her body fell to the ground. They saw something that resembled a ghost float out of Buffy and it seemed to be her soul. She went in.

Angel had to watch himself kill his own family. This was to be his torture. Then it turned far worse. He saw what Buffy looked like after he died....how much pain he had caused her. Angel then saw what would be Buffy's death. "Ohmigod. BUFFY!!" he cried. He cried because he knew what was gonna happen to her, and he couldn't stop it.

Buffy saw Hellish things in there. People were being forced to watch the death of friends and family. People, or actually souls, were being whipped. It was all like a horrible child's nightmare. No wonder I'm seeing this, thought Buffy. I'm in Hell. She saw somebody resembling Angel in there. "ANGEL!!" she cried. He looked up. Buffy walked closer. She saw what he was being forced to watch-he was watching what she had felt like when he died.

"Buffy?" he said. "Is that you? Because if it is, then I'm not in Hell."

"Ohmigod.....Angel....I need to get you out of here. That's what I came to do," she said.

"Why would you want me to come back? After all the pain I caused you? You would kill me(again) if you died...and you're going to," Angel said.

"No, I'm not. Willow found a spell to make me immortal! Angel, she found one to make your soul permenent!!" cried Buffy. "We need to get out of here. The vortex is gonna close soon."

"But...Buffy...I deserve to be here. I hurt you."

"I'll live. Get the Hell out of that chair or you're gonna hurt me more."

They were back the library and Willow was doing her curse on Angel. The ritual had been performed on everyone but Buffy.

"Buffy, sorry to spoil the fun, but there's a gang of vampires out in the graveyard. I'm afraid you're going to have to go slay them," said Giles.

"OK, going," she said.

"Buffy, one of us should go with you," said Angel.

"Nope. I can handle it myself. Besides, you're busy now and me and Mr. Pointy haven't had much to do lately. Come on if you want to after Will's done," she said.

Buffy and 'Mr. Pointy' weren't really enough for those vamps. There were about ten of them and they were all very strong. She had six down but the other four were strong. The one grabbed Buffy's crossbow and shot her with it. It hit her in the left lung. She passed out.

Angel had his soul now, permenently. He also could go out in sunlight, and eat food. He was happy, because he could be with Buffy now, forever. He walked into the cemetary, calling out, "Buffy?" Nobody answered. He spotted her stake, and then her crossbow, and then.....a long trail of blood. "BUFFY!" cried Angel more urgently.

"Mmmmmmm...." moaned somebody.

"Buffy?!" cried Angel.

"Angel............" she whispered.

Angel ran over to Buffy. She had an arrow sticking out of her left lung, and was breathing really softly. "BUFFY!!!" he cried.

"Angel....I can't last much longer...I want to tell you how I feel before I....you know....die. I love you soo much. I want to be with you forever, but that's not possible. You really are an angel. I love you, Angel....." she said.

"BUFFY! Don't leave me....I love you too..." said Angel.

Without a word he scooped her gently into his arms and drove to the hospital.

He arrived at the hospital and they took over. "I'm sorry, sir, but you can't go any further than this unless you're a relative," said one of the attendents.

"Uh, I'm her, um, husband," lied Angel.

"OK, can you identify the victem?" the attendent said.

"Buffy, Buffy Summers."

"And you are?"

"Angel Summers."

"OK, we'll take it from here. Is there anybody that should be identified?"

"Yeah, I'll call them. How is she, though??" Angel asked.

They didn't know. Angel went to the pay phone and called Giles at the library. "Giles, Buffy's in the hospital. She had an arrow stabbed through her left lung. Can you be here right away?"

Giles had already hung up by that time. He and the others drove to the hospital. They saw Angel there looking rather distraught. He was talking to the docter. Willow ran over to him and asked what the news was.

"They said that she lost her baby. She tore open part of her lung......when the arrow hit her. They think she should be fine, but I know she's going to be devastated with the loss of the baby," he said, his face full of pain.

"Oh, God, Angel....how are you going to tell her?? She was so happy about him or her!" exclaimed Willow.

Angel winced. "I know....and it hurts me to see her in pain. I'm going to have to do this. It's gonna kill me."

"Again. It's gonna kill you again. You were already dead, remember??" said Xander.

"Shut up, Xander." said Willow, Oz, Giles, and Cordy.

"Sheesh. Touch-ey," said Xander.

The doctor came out and told Angel that he could go see Buffy. Willow looked at him sympathitacally. He walked into her room. She had an IV hooked up and looked awful, the worst he had ever seen her. "Buffy.........hi," said Angel.

"Hi. How do I look, truthfully?" she asked.

"Beautiful," he said.

"Liar," she said jokingly.

"Why can you be in the light?" she asked.

"Willow's spell allows me to have my soul, be able to walk in the light, and eat real food, not blood," Angel explained.

"Oh, Angel, that's wonderful! I want to go home now," she said.

"Listen, um, Buffy....there's really no easy way to put this......um....."

"Angel, just tell me."

"You lost the baby," he said.

Buffy looked horrified, in pain. Her face slowly began to crumble. She started crying.

"God, Buffy, I'm so sorry. If it makes up for anything, I still love you," he said. "On the upside, you can go home this afternoon. We still have to do the immortaility spell," he said.

"Can I be alone for a while, Angel?" asked Buffy quietly.

"Sure. I love you." he said.

"I love you too." she said.

When Angel walked out of the room, everybody was waiting to be told how she was. He told them the truth. Just as they were about to leave, somebody called out over the PA system.

"CODE BLUE, ROOM 108! CODE BLUE! STAT!"

Everybody paled. Code blue was an extreme emergency, and ususally ment somebody was dying. Stat ment immideatly. Room 108 was Buffy's room.
