Unexpected Suprises

Sorry if some of this is choppy or poorly thought up. I thought I would give a background of the girls’ lives. The X-Men will be in this chapter of course and a few of the others. I am sorry if I misspell some of the last names, I know what they are, yet can’t properly spell them. Please enjoy.


It was the day of Michaela and Diana’s 18th birthday. They didn’t want celebrate that day at all. They had been made aware on their 15th birthday that they would be immortal once they reached 18. They didn’t know what the fuss was all about, and likely weren’t going to like the day at all, except Angel Inc. showed up to help out. Michaela was itching to see Angel again. When she turned 16, they had started to secretly meet up with each other. Angel fell madly in love with her at first sight when he came back to help Buffy with another crisis. It was during these musings that “Mike” lost focus on anything around her and went into a dream world. Diana was the same way, about Spike that is, and most times Buffy and Giles were hard-pressed to keep them in line training wise.

Buffy no longer needed the deceitful relationship that she was having with her husband and Spike. Spike was disappointed when she finally did call it quits. Even though it was great, and released a lot of tension, it wasn’t what she wanted anymore. Giles backed her up all the way on this, knowing he was getting his wife back to himself. That first night that it was just the two of them again was bittersweet. They made love all night long and barely got enough sleep and up in plenty of time to get the kids off to school. After that, Spike put all of his energies on making sure the girls stayed out of trouble. It was shortly after that when he started to harbor more than brother like feelings for Diana. He didn’t know how she would react to it, so he just up and told her. She thought it was cute, and had Spike formally ask her father for permission to court her. Giles gave Spike a look of contempt, but yielded when he saw the look on his daughters face.

Now Spike has been seeing Diana publicly for quite some time. He always showed up at odd times when she was in school, making her girl friends fawn all over him. He would occasionally bring her flowers, candy, stuffed animals, or just himself.

Michaela was a whole other matter. She took after her father when he was Ripper. Always getting into trouble and rebelling against the rules set in the house. She was always a wild one, yet docile and nice to be around whenever Angel showed up. When it came time for everything to retire, Buffy and Angel went out for patrol. Buffy always came back alone and after she did and was in Giles’ arms, sleeping, Mike would crawl out of the window and walk to the flat that was used now for a guest house instead of the intended wedding present it was supposed to be. Willow and Oz broke up when she realized her sexual orientation changed. She is living with Tara and Amy now, in a current relationship with Tara. Xander and Anya are still together, but not yet married. They never could get a date set, so they decided to just live with each other for as long as they could stand it. They seem to love it, since they are more at peace with each other.

Cordelia and Wesley didn’t last very long. Angel Investigations had acquired new employees, and Winifred Burkle was one of them, and Wesley fell in love with her. They got married two years after meeting. Cordelia ended up marrying Doyle and they now have a beautiful daughter. There are two other new employees there, Charles Gunn or Gunn, and a Pylean demon by the name of Lorne, short for Kravlornswak of The Deathwok clan. Lorne can of course see into someones future if they sing for him. Gunn is the street muscle of the team, we all know what Angel, Cordy, Wes and Doyle do. Fred is the science nerd and bookworm of the bunch. Michaela was welcome into this bunch with open arms when she got the chance to escape from home for an extended period of time. She also met up with her grandparents and aunt on many occasions. She loved her grandparents with all her heart. She was told that she met her other set on a trip to England that Buffy, Giles, and the girls took not too long after they were born. She was told that Giles’ folks fell in love with her and were finally glad to be grandparents. She sometimes still went with them on trips to Giles’ homeland. England was interesting, but she hated it that Angel was so far away and she couldn’t see him when she wanted too. She had made a big stink about going with them, that the last dozen times that they flew over, the children stayed home with Spike.

The both of them were all in their little dreamworlds of yesteryear, when it was announced by Daniel and William or affectionately known as Danny and Billy, that the party would begin. Presents were passed around before the feast would be eaten. The girls received a thousand dollars a piece from everyone to go towards college if they so choose. They then opened up box after box and found many things that they would need after they graduated from high school and ventured out in their new life. Once all the presents were opened, they started in on eating. After a few minutes of this, Angel and Spike had brought Giles and Buffy into the kitchen to formally ask them for permission to propose to their daughters. Angel was a little irked that Spike had the same idea and was a little jealous that he was going to ask for Michaela’s hand and was shocked when he asked them for Diana’s instead.

“What? You can’t be serious about wanting to let him marry Diana, now are you?”

“He has been formally dating her for quite some time. What brought you into this?”

“I was going to ask you the same thing, but in Michaela’s instance. We should have told you this, but we have been secretly dating. It wasn’t until a few days ago that I realized I have fallen in love with her and want to spend the rest of my life with her.”

Buffy looked at Giles with this and gave him her understanding and acceptance through their ever present, ever strong bond. Giles didn’t want to be the one to tell them, so he walked over to the sink to busy himself with something to let Buffy have center stage to inform them. She mentally told him he was a coward but went through with it.

“We give you our blessings for this. We are thrilled that you each came to us to ask first before you went ahead and proposed to them and brought it to us later on. Now that we have this settled, mind if I see the rings you have chosen for our daughters?”

They each showed what they had purchased. Angels was a nice setting one, with an emerald cut diamond and little amethysts surrounding it on a 24K gold setting. Very intricately done. She was impressed that he knew her favorite stone. Spike had something similar, but with a jade instead of a diamond for the center display. It also had a few diamonds on it, set in an 18K white gold setting. Each of them knew the stones that their daughters loved. Buffy nodded her head in acceptance of this, and let them be on their way to propose.

She then walked up to Giles and placed her arms around his waist and her head on his back. She couldn’t believe that it was nearly 20 years ago that her world changed for the better. She found the love of her life is still with him this many years later. True to the word from The Powers, they never aged a day features wise after becoming immortal. Buffy still looked like what she did at 18. She was ever powerful now and the strongest foe imaginable in battle. Giles was always by her side fighting to help keep the world free from demonic rule. They even had to make trips to LA to help Angel and his gang out on many occasions. Wolfram and Hart came up to them to take over their LA branch. Hank had apparently made some concessions for them, and they accepted. They now had all the files needed and books to help them out when they needed it, and a prestigious law office to run. They have been doing this for about 5 years now. A year after running it, they came across the senior partners and annihilated them. The building crumbled after the fight they had with the partners and their army, but they invariably built it back up and decided to run it the way they wanted to. Hank was still there, in a managerial capacity. Apparently the senior partners instilled a bit of demon in him, making it so he lived out a longer life than a normal human. He was handy in a pinch.

Buffy then rhythmically ran her hands over Giles’ ripped chest. Over the years, he worked out more and it showed. She was ever impressed with him when they trained together and brought their daughters and oldest son in to train with them. Since they were in the kitchen, she grabbed his arm and turned him around walked to where the basement door was and opened it up. Giles got the hint and walked down the steps with her to the bed that was still Spikes. Over the years, he had worked on the basement to make a home out of it for himself. Once they were at the bed, Buffy started to divest herself of her clothes and Giles followed suit. Once they were naked and laying on the bed, Buffy started to trail her hands over his body, eliciting a moan out of him. She performed her foreplay with him, being rewarded with more moaning and expletives. Giles then grabbed her and hauled her up to him and kissed her with abandon. He then flipped them over and entered her with one quick thrust and Buffy screamed out. They made quick work with this and were done in a speed that would make an Olympic Gymnast proud. Once done, they got dressed again and walked back up the steps and back into the kitchen to see Michaela and Diana at the island waiting for them.

“My god mom, Angel is the best. He took me outside and proposed to me about ten minutes ago.”

“Spike proposed to me as well in the backyard.”

“Yes we know about this, they came to us to get permission to do so. Must be the English in them that had each coming to us to ask if it was ok. We are proud of you two, and would like nothing more than to see you married off to men who will love you forever. When you do get married to Angel, Mike, we will miss not having you around all the time.”

“I will miss you as well mom. It won’t be the same without you around to help me out.”

“We will be here if ever you need anything darling. Just call us and we will be there as soon as we can.”

“Thanks dad.”

“Diana, why don’t you bring Spike in here, we have something to tell you.”

“Ok.”

She ran off to get her fiance. They were back in a few minutes. Spike looked like he was the cat that got the cream.

“Spike, I had Diana go and get you for a good reason. We welcome you into the family in this capacity with open arms and would like to present you two with the flat as your early wedding present.”

“Thanks Giles, we gladly accept it.”

“Yes, well, you are most welcome. We were going to give it to the girls after they graduated as a gift, so they could be on their own, but this is much better. Since Mike is going to be moving to LA to be with Angel, it is best to present it to you two. At least then, we can finally have a couple of rooms and a basement for guest rooms when people show up, instead of having them drive all the way there to the flat to stay.”

“I agree. Thanks a bunch Giles. I will find a way to repay you as soon as I can.”

“You have repaid me enough already, by loving our daughter and wanting to share your life with her.”

Spike ran up to them and embraced them. He would never get over the generosity that they have bestowed on him. He was some killer vampire in this time, and now am a normal human with no so normal characteristics. He lost his vampire sense of smell not too long ago, and was irked that he couldn’t find where the demons were hiding anymore. That fell onto Buffy, with her demon aspect coming back in full force. She has learned over time to block out what she wanted to, with the help of Charles Xavier. Charles runs a school in New York for mutants. Whenever there was a problem, mutant wise, they were there to help the X-Men out when they needed it. They were eventually given the full rights of an X-Man, suits, privileges, everything. It was there that Buffy realized she has a cousin who is a mutant. Scott Summers, or otherwise known as Cyclops is one of Buffy’s cousins. On one of their trips to England, they stopped by Charles’ school and met him for the first time. They are first cousins. Scott’s father was Hanks brother. His parents were involved in a fatal plane crash with Scott and his brother Alex, killing both parents and Alex, and manifesting Scott’s mutation. For awhile Scott was married to a beautiful doctor and fellow mutant by the name of Jean Grey. She had died with one of the many missions they went on and it crushed Scott to the core. It was a good year later that he was able to live again, with the help of another fellow mutant, Marie Dancato otherwise known as Rogue. Their friendship was a great help to Scott, and they eventually fell in love and got married. Now they have two beautiful children. The Summers clan just kept getting bigger and bigger. Occasionally when there wasn’t anything pressing, Scott and Marie would fly out to be with Buffy and Giles for a few days, going up to LA to also hang out with Hank, Joyce, Dawn, and whoever Dawn was seeing at that time. She never could quite settle down with one guy.

Several weeks later, the girls went through their graduation. It was a double event. Not just were the girls graduating from high school, they were getting married on that day as well. Everybody was there to help celebrate the double day for each girl. All the X-Men arrived for the glorious day, along with Angel Inc., The Scooby Gang, and the entire extended family, Summers and Giles alike. It was early afternoon when the graduation ceremony ended, and everyone piled into their respected vehicles and made a mad dash to the park where the wedding was going to take place. This time, everything was set up, alter and reception alike. It took everyone a matter of 5 hours to get ready for the ceremonies, considering Angel was still a vampire and needed it to be sunset to go through with everything. Right at sunset, he was standing at the alter with Spike, and the priest. They went through the same priest that married Buffy and Giles, since he was used to paranormal stuff. The bridesmaids and groomsmen went through. Doyle and Xander were standing in as best men for both Angel and Spike. It then came time for Giles to walk his daughters down the aisle. He had one on each arm, and walked with a sense of pride in his stance and facial features.

After the ceremonies were done, they walked over the short distance to the reception area and had their feast. After the cake cutting and enjoyment of the meal, it was time for the newly married couples to have their first dance. It was after the first dance that a bright light appeared, much like the one that showed up about 19 years ago when The Powers told them about Dawn. The same two people emerged from the light and told Angel to come to them, and when he did, the both of them touched him on each shoulder, and Angel hunched down in agony. It was after they left that he got up and took a huge breath and realized he was human again.

“Angel, The Powers have bestowed humanity and immortality onto you, since you have found everlasting love with our daughter. Enjoy your newfound role in this world, for you will be like this for eternity. Our daughters have also been bestowed with their destiny of immortality on this day as well. We hope that the both of you treat them right and gladly welcome you into this family with open arms.”

“Thank you Buffy. This will take some time to get used to.”

“You’re tellin me bro. It took me three months to get used to the notion of bein a real boy. I love it now.”

“Oh great, now I have to put up with you on a holiday basis now, figures. Tried to get rid of you for so long all those centuries ago, now I have to put up with you for a few more? Great.”

“At least it’s just the holidays and whenever Diana wants to visit her sis that you have to put up with me. We plan on staying here around her mum and dad to help out.”

“Thank God.”

It then came time for the father daughter dance. Michaela got the first dance with Giles, considering she is the oldest of the two. Then it came time for Diana. When the dances were done, everyone else jumped up from their seats and joined in, dancing til their feet wouldn’t move anymore. It came time for the married couples to leave the festivities. Buffy went up to the both of them, and gave her daughters each a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She then went up to Angel and embraced him, giving him a kiss on the cheek welcoming him into the family. Spike got the same treatment, then they each took off on their two months long honeymoons, Angel and Michaela going to England, while Spike and Diana went to Paris. Since Angel never remembered what his last was, and it was never recorded, he changed his name to Giles, so now he goes by Angel Liam Giles. Diana became Diana Colleen Pratt. Spike reverted back to his name before he was a vampire, William Leopold Pratt.

Buffy and Giles went about moving all of Spikes things and Diana’s into the flat, and set up as much as they could for them, and left everything else in the boxes so they could finish up when they came back. They also made sure to pack up all of Michaela’s things and sent them off with Cordelia and Doyle when they went back to LA. The house was strangely quiet now, since the girls were gone. Danny and Billy never made much noise, and decided to move into the rooms that Mike and Diana had. Buffy and Giles knew that their boys would eventually find the loves of their lives, and hoped that The Powers would bestow on the women they eventually did marry immortality to stay with them.

It was 8 years later when they were finally alone in that house on Revello Drive. Daniel went to Harvard to pursue a career in law, while William went to Oxford in England to pursue his studies to become a watcher like his father. They each had received their immortality on the day of their 18th birthday. This finally gave Buffy and Giles a chance to travel like they always wanted to do. Michaela was now a world renowned doctor, and Diana pursued her dream of being a horse trainer, and made a decent living from it, enough to move to Kentucky with Spike to do it full time for the derby horses. They all came back only on holidays now when they had a chance to get away from everything to be with family. Buffy and Giles never had any more children after that, and they were just fine with it.
