The Mansion
Saturday 12:48pm

Once again the whole gang was gathered in the main room. Also, once again, Cordy was arguing with Doyle...

"Why won't ye marry me, Princess?" Doyle was reduced to begging. For the past five months, ever since he had discovered his love for his Princess, he had been trying to convince her to marry him. He had thought that her pregnancy would push it through. Why can't girls be the way they were in the old days. Just sleepin' with a man would have forced her hand! (Author's Note: Can you say chauvinism???)

Cordelia looked at him with patience. A trait she had had to learn in recent months. "Because it's not me you want, it's the baby. Before the baby, you were just being an idiot. Or, you could have just wanted to tie me to you because of Angel's death. You just didn't want to be alone." She was proud of her little version of logic.

Doyle looked shell-shocked. "But Delia, I love ye. I didn't just want someone to be with me. I want you and our little one. I love you both." His open expression finally got to her. Never had he revealed himself to her so much.

Cordelia grinned that cheerleader smile of hers. "Well, in that case...okay!" With that, she jumped up into his arms. Well, as much as she could with her protruding stomach.

Everyone in the room began cheering. Except Spike. He just scowled. Joyce had a large grin on her face. Whistler smiled, shaking his head. Buffy and Angel were curled up on the couch, glad that their two friends had finally agreed on something. Janice was still giggling. Throughout

Doyle's entire courtship, as he liked to call it, she couldn't help but find the situation funny. Even the two little ones were getting in on the act. They didn't know what they were clapping for, but they had big grins on their faces. They were getting so big now! They looked almost a year and a half old...

Outside the Mansion

Six people gathered outside the mansion. Five needed closure for their past sins and the other was there to make sure that they did nothing else. She was sure that her slayer was elsewhere, otherwise she never would have allowed this. She knew Janice's feelings on the subject of the five people with her, but she felt sorry for them.

She hoped that this would help them deal with their friends' deaths...

***************************************************

Inside The Mansion

In the middle of the conversation Angel suddenly growled toward the doorway. Buffy's head snapped in the same direction. Spike then caught on to what had their attention...

Angel and Spike were extremely angry at whatever held their attention. Buffy just went pale. Erin and Liam, sensing the tension in the air, started to cry.

The three adults went to the doorway. Inside came the six offenders. Since Angel and Buffy couldn't actually do anything just yet, Spike started with the punches. When the group realized who was there, they all got off their seats and joined Spike in the fight. Almost immediately, Doyle sat Cordelia down again and rejoined the fight.

The other group was stunned. They weren't fighting back. They accepted the blows, but never felt them. All they could tell was that Buffy and Angel were there.

Spike and the others, realizing that nothing was affecting them, stopped hitting them. The Scooby Gang got up off the floor, but still had their eyes and mouths wide open.

Cordelia looked at them with disgust. "God! You traitors just couldn't stay away could you?!?!"

That effectively brought them out of their daze. Xander started yelling. "Why didn't you tell us that Buffy and Angel were still around?!?!" He almost snarled at her.

Janice took it from there. "We didn't want them to be in any danger again. They may not be able to be killed AGAIN, but they can still be gotten rid of!!!" Xander quickly backed away from the irate Slayer.

Janice turned on her Watcher next, "And I thought you could be trusted!!! I told you that I didn't want them anywhere near this place! How could you go behind my back and do this??? This was Buffy and Angel's home! But you couldn't just let it be could you? You just had to let them come here and desecrate their home!"

This time, Janice spoke for the whole group to the Scooby Gang, and now, her Watcher. "We don't want any of you here ever! Don't you get it? You're not welcome here! If any of us catch you here again, you or any of your family, your descendants, we'll kill them! This is our home now! WE'RE our own family! Keep the HELL AWAY FROM US!!!!!" She turned her back on them.

Spike, Doyle and Whistler looked at the group with distaste. Then they shoved all six people out the door and made sure that they left.

Janice, who had been studying the black arts after the spell that brought Erin and Liam to Buffy and Angel, thought of a way to keep them and their descendants out for good. She ran upstairs into her room and pulled out her spell book. Inside, she found a keep-out spell. She quickly pulled out the herbs she needed and began walking the perimeter of the mansion while reciting the incantation and spreading the herbs in a big circle encasing the mansion.

From then on, none of the Scooby Gang, or any form of evil, with the exception of Spike, because he was family, would be unable to enter the circle. It was like a great big force field surrounding the mansion.

She went back inside and told the others what she had done. They all sighed in relief. Well, some of them, only metaphorically speaking.

This would take care of them for all eternity. It served those traitors right...

Now back to happiness...
