Conclusion

Meanwhile:
Giles had went by Xander's house to fill him in. He told him about Buffy. Because he didn't think that he should surprise him with her prescence. He had taken it well. Giles could tell, Xander thought he was nuts!

The two of them went by and picked up Emily. They went to the underground spot that Buffy had told him about and quickly took out Julius. Darius not expecting the attack, was quickly disposed of by Emily. She smiled as she wiped his dust off her shirt.

"Good work, Em." said Giles. "Let's go find Angel."

"He's in there" said the soft voice in the corner. Emily looked and saw Buffy there, Xander's mouth dropped open.

"Isn't that...um...isn't she?" asked Emily shock in her voice.

"Yes, that's Buffy" said Giles. "I can't really explain now"

"You need to go to Angel now, please" said Buffy. She pointed to the room where he was being held. She stayed with a stunned Xander.

"He told me, you were here and I thought he had finally lost it!" cried Xander as he pulled her into a hug.

"Xander, I don't really need to breathe anymore, but you are crushing me!" said Buffy with a giggle.

"I've missed you! Can you stay?" Xander asked her, hope in his eyes.

"No, I can't. But I've missed you, and tell Cordy to take care of that little boy. Oops!" Buffy said with a smile.

"It's a boy!" said Xander elatedly, then smiled and added "Buffy, are you happy, where you are now?"

"Very happy, Xander. It's okay, don't worry about me. I will be watching you though. I want to see Angel before I go" she told him as she went into the other room.

"Bye, Buffy." said Giles softly as he and Emily went to join Xander.

Angel smiled at her "I thought you were a dream."

"No, no dream. It's me." She lay her hand on his cheek and looked into his eyes. "I had to come help you. I saw Willow and Noelle. You take care of them, okay? She loves you, Angel. You are a lucky guy." she was near tears now.

"I know I'm lucky I've been loved by the two most wonderful women in the world." Angel said smiling, he ran his fingers through her hair "You have to go now, don't you?"

"Yes, it's time. I love you, Angel." She said softly as she hugged him.

"I love you, too." he said as he watched her dissappear in to a glowing mist.

Giles helped Angel home. Willow was waiting anxiously for them, she shouted "Angel!" as he walked through the door. Noelle jabbered excitedly "Dada" He drew both of his girls into his arms. Giles watched the happy reunion and said his goodbyes.

On his way to his car Giles stopped and looked above, under his breath he whispered "Good job, Buffy."

"Let me help you sit down" said Willow noticing the now healing wounds on Angel's body.

"I'm fine, now." he told her. He and Willow sat on the couch with Noelle in his lap. Soon the baby fell asleep. Angel and Willow tucked her in. Angel went to shower and soon joined Willow in their bed.

"You did see her, right?" asked Willow.

"Yes, I saw, Buffy. She's at peace now. She said she saw you. Are you okay?" he asked her concerned.

"I'm great! She is peaceful now, and we all have closure. I'll still miss her though." said Willow thoughtfully.

"Me, too." said Angel as he pulled Willow close and kissed her. He was afraid to think about how close he had come to losing her and Noelle.

"Buffy told me to take care of you. Is there anything I can do for you?" she asked with a sly smile.

"Well, now that you mention it" he said then whispered something in her ear.

"Ohh! I can do that!" she said with a giggle as she pulled him even closer and her lips found his. They were soon happily entwined in each other, secure in their love.
