It was a quaint little beach house. She smiled in his arms. The night of lovemaking was far from over. It even ran into the day. And who could blame them? I mean they hadn't.. well. In so long. And somehow, I think they deserve these moments.

*Lyin' here with you
Listenin' to the rain
Smiling just to see
The smile upon your face
These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more..*

After all the battles. All the death, destruction, mayhem, and chaos of the End Of Days. this is what honeymoons were about. These moments, are all they could ever ask for.

"The sun is almost rising, and the rain has stopped." Angel informed her. "Do you wanna."

Buffy immediately responded, "No. I wanna stay here in bed. For awhile." She grinned.

"Okay." He tells her with the same mischievous grin.

*Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are
Is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
And these are the moments
I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for
and I could not ask for more*

"I love you, Angel."

"I love you, Buffy."

*I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have's come true
And right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me...*

"Angel," She began. He lifted his head to look into her eyes.

"Yeah?" He asked, his voice husky.

"I never thought I'd be here. And look you all human-y. This is all too amazing. And so far the honeymoon has been the best moments of my life." She smiled, her eyes twinkling, her voice just above a whisper.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. These are the moments, Buffy." Also a whisper. He kissed the top of her head and they drifted to sleep.

*And these are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I've got all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than the love you give me
`Coz it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more*
