"Buffy, where did you put the car keys?"

"They're on your bedside table."

Angel walked into their room and smiled, it looked like a hurricane had hit a dress store.

"Do you need any help Baby?"

Buffy sighed deeply, "I can't decide what to wear. Do I want to go for classy or sexy?"

He moved behind her and pressed a gentle kiss between her shoulder blades, inhaling her intoxicating scent.

"You look sexy and classy in everything you wear."

Playfully she swatted him. "Typical man!" she admonished, but her eyes were laughing.

Angel moved over to his closet and removed a dress bag from it. "Why don't you wear this?"

"What?? I mean…I.."

He smiled at her confusion, "I'll wait for you in the other room…"

*It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her makeup
And brushes her long blonde hair*

"Well?"

He looked up and his jaw dropped. "Honey, you look stunning."

"Thanks, the man who bought it for me has exquisite taste."

"Remind me to thank him…"

*And then she asks me
Do I look all right
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight*

Angel opened her door and offered his hand to help her out. Buffy smoothed down her skirts and then took his arm. As they entered the building Angel noticed quite a few men seemed to have eyes on stalks. He pulled her tighter to him in a masculine display of ownership.

*We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me*

"Everything alright Beloved?" Buffy murmured.

"Perfect." he breathed back, passing her a crystal flute filled with champagne…

*And then she asks me
Do you feel all right
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight*

Buffy nestled closely against Angel's chest, relishing the feel of him. She felt contented, relaxed, safe. He was everything she had ever wanted in the world and then some.

"Happy?" His voice broke into her reverie.

"More than I've ever been before. You?"

"More than I deserve to be. Have I told you tonight that I love you?"

"Mmm, let me think. No, I don't think you have."

"I must be slacking, forgive me?"

"Forgiven. I love you Angel."

"I love you too Buffy…"

*I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you*

"Ten minutes to midnight."

"U-hu. What are your New Year Resolutions Sweetheart?"

Buffy snuggled deeper into Angel's embrace. "To be with you, to be happy, to be a good Mom. What about you?"

"The same except…what did you say???"

Buffy took his hands and pressed them onto her stomach. "I said I wanted to be a good Mom, and in seven months time I will get to sta.."

She was cut off by a pair of lips pressing down on hers and let herself get swept away by the passion. When they finally had to break due to lack of air, she looked up at him and smiled. "I take it you are happy at the prospect of being a Daddy?"

"More than happy…"

*It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed*

Buffy grinned to herself as she helped Angel from the car. Unsteadily he made his way to the front door. Since she had told him her news he had gone all out in his celebration, not that she minded.

Closing the door behind them, she led him to the bedroom and helped him undress. Once he was settled she shed her clothing and then joined him, spooning her body with his. His hands immediately came to rest on her tummy.

"Buffy?" he murmured sleepily.

"Yes Beloved."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"Buffy?"

"Mmm-hum."

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight Angel. Sleep well."

*And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight*
