The sight that greeted Buffy when she awoke warmed her heart like nothing else ever had. Angel sat in a chair by the window, the tiny form of his newborn daughter cradled in his arms. The blinds were open and the light of the sunset fell softly on them both. Angel spoke to the infant in a voice too low for Buffy to make out, but his instant love for the child shown through his every whispered word, his posture, and the smile secure upon his face.
Buffy did not want to interrupt their moment. Ailia began crying then, however. Angel tried to hush her, gently rocking her in his arms, when he looked over and saw Buffy. “I thought you were asleep,” he said softly.
“I was watching you,” Buffy replied. “She’s probably hungry,” she said, holding out her arms for her daughter.
Angel handed Ailia to her to feed. Buffy stared at their tiny creation in amazement. Such a perfect little person. As Ailia quieted at her mother’s breast, Buffy smiled in awe. She was actually a mother.
She looked at Angel then to see his gaze locked on the baby as well. He reached out to gently touch Ailia’s hand, fascinated as her tiny fingers reflexively curled around his own. Buffy knew he felt much the same way as her. They were parents, something they’d long thought impossible for them to be.
He raised his eyes to meet Buffy’s gaze. The smile on his face was so filled with joy and peace that Buffy nearly wept with happiness, falling in love with him all over again.
“She’s perfect, love,” he whispered, echoing Buffy’s own thoughts.
In a small town always under the shadow of darkness, a small child whose name meant light was born. Sheltered in the loving arms of two people always destined to fight the darkness, she grew strong in body and mind. She brought her light into their lives and the lives of others, and the Powers that Be smiled at the rightness of it all.
