by Jaclyn Amy
TITLE: The Watcher
AUTHOR: Jaclyn Amy@aol.com
RATING: PG/PG-13
SUMMARY: This takes place four years later while the Buffy gang is attending
Montague University near Sunnydale. AngelÆs soul has been permanently
restored, and he is 100% human. Jenny Calendar is still alive. Buffy will be
getting a new Watcher.
DISTRIBUTION: Ask me first.
DISCLAIMER: I own none of the characters from or the movie or show Buffy the
Vampire Slayer. They were created by Joss Wheden and are owned by 20th Century
Fox, Sandollar Television, Mutant Enemy, etc. No infringement intended.
FEEDBACK: Please be nice; IÆm still a newbie.

As soon as Giles got to the house and listened to the message, he left.
//Damnit! Why did it have to be Cordelia?! I would have rather her walked than
be in a car with her. Calm down, Giles. Just drive.// And that he did.
*****
"WhatÆs wrong, Buff?" Angel asked as he walked onto the balcony. "YouÆve been
standing outside in the rain for the past half hour. Come inside."
"Nothing." She came back inside, her wet clothing sticking to her. "ItÆs just
that I feel like IÆm going to lose Willow. WeÆre best friends, and the Slayer-
Watcher realationship isnÆt like that. If Willow becomes my Watcher, I have a
feeling thatÆll change out whole relationship, and that isnÆt what I want."
"Of course everythingÆll be different. Big deal. So what. YouÆll worry about
that when it comes."
"But Angel, what if-"
He grabbed her and passionately kissed her. She loosened up in his grip and
started to relax. "What were you going to say?"
"Nothing. Nothing at allà" She pulled him down onto the bed and kissed him
again. "I love you." She whispered into his ear.
ThatÆs when the phone started to ring. Brrrng. Brrrng."Let Xander get it."
*****
"Hello?" Xander asked.
"Xander? ItÆs Giles."
"WhatÆs up, G-man?"
"I, IÆm on my way to Sunnydale General Hospital. Meet me over there right
away."
"WhatÆs wrong? Are you okay?"
"Yes, yes. Jenny is having her baby. IÆve got to go." He hung up the phone.
Xander ran upstairs to Willow and CordeliaÆs room, but nobody was there. He
burst into BuffyÆs room and screamed, "Mrs. CalendarÆs having the baby!"
"Xander!" Buffy screamed as she pulled up the bed covers. "What the hell are
you doing?"
"He covered his eyes with his hand. "Oh, God, IÆm so sorry. IÆll go tell
Willow." He ran out of the room and slammed the door.
*****
"Willow, youÆve been reading long enough," Oz said walking up behind the
couch Willow was sitting on. "You should go to sleep. ItÆs almost midnight."
"Oz, I am nowhere near ready to be Watcher. Ms. Calendar is going to have her
baby anyday now. I need to prepare."
"Please." He came up behind her and put his arms around her and kissed her.
"Just take a little break."
"I guess the world can wait five minutes." She kissed him back and he got on
the couch too.
"God, get a room!" Xander cried as he munched his apple.
"Xander, do you really need to be in here right now?" Willow asked in an
agitated voice.
He started pouting. "Fine, then I wonÆt tell you that Ms. Calendar is in
labor at Sunnydale General."
Willow stood up and accidently knocked Oz off the couch. "No, no, no. This,
this cannot be happening. I, I, IÆm to young to be a Watcher. IÆm not ready."
"Will, calm down," Oz mumbled as he staggered back up. "IÆll drive you to the
hospital. YouÆll talk to Giles. EverythingÆll be cool, okay?" He brushed her
hair with his hand.
"Yeah, yeah," Willow mumbled in a daze, "everythingÆll be cool."
*****
Due to torrential rain and heavy fog, it took them almost an hour to get to
the hospital. In the waiting room, Buffy, Cordelia, and Angel sat. Oz and
Xander sat beside them while Willow just paced up and down.
"Jeez, Willow, now youÆre making me nervous," Cordelia spoke.
"Shut the hell up!" she snapped. "Oh, IÆm sorry."
With a smile on his face, Giles burst through the doors. "She had the baby.
ItÆs, itÆs a girl."
"Congratulations, Giles!" Buffy said as she hugged him. "I know youÆre going
to make a great father."
His eyes met hers. "Thank youàfor everything. You were a terrific Slayer,
Buffy, and IÆll miss you. But IÆve got a life to live."
"You were a terrific Watcher. IÆll nevr forget you. Now, go, see your baby.
Have a good life."
"Thank you. All of you, come in and see her."
In the hospital room, Mrs. Calendar was holding her newborn baby girl when
they entered. There were "awws" and "sheÆs so cute" from everybody. Giles just
proudly stood there, beaming.
"So, what are you going to name her?" asked Oz.
Mrs. Calendar said, "I havenÆt really thought about it much-"
"Buffy," inturupted Giles. "Buffy."
Mrs. Calendar added, "No, Buffy Cordelia. Without her, I would have this baby
in my bedroom."
Buffy spoke, "Buffy Cordelia Giles-Calendar. I like it."
Into the room entered a nurse. "Okay, visiting time is over. Everyone out."
"Buffy, I need to talk to you," Giles whispered as he left the room.
They went to a corner to talk. "Buffy, in all my years as Watcher, you have
given me the most grief and the most joy. IÆll miss not being your Watcher,
but I know youÆll do fine with Willow. SheÆll make a great Watcher. What I
guess IÆm trying to say is that IÆll miss you."
"IÆll miss you too." Tears started forming in your eyes. "ItÆll be strange
not seeing you every single day, or reluctently learning new battle
techniques. I canÆt believe you wonÆt be here tomarrow night."
"Goodbye."
"Bye." The hugged and parted.
//Goodbye, Giles. Goodbye, forever.//

Subject: BUFFYFIC: "The Cure" (4/14)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Buffy or any of the other wonderful characters in
the Buffyverse. I am using them without the permission of the people who
do own them who are not going to sue me because I am not making any money
off this. Joss Whedon, WB, Mutant Enemy, Kusui and Sandollar own the Buffy
characters.
DISTRIBUTION: Just ask.
RATING: Probably PG
FEEDBACK: I would love to know what you all think of this. Please send me
feedback. Pretty please. <sdouglas@camfordinfo.com>
SUMMARY: Okay, well this takes place while Ms. Calendar is still alive,
but Angel is evil, so probably Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. It's
another "Angel gets his soul back" story which I wrote to convince myself
that Angel could be good again. It's kind of long and I'm sorry about that
you all.
AUTHOR'S MESSAGE: Okay, earning my thank you today is Aglx and Bern300.
Thanks for the positive feedback you guys. And Bern300, try not to lose
this part =)
On with the show
The Cure (5/14)
Buffy was filling the water guns up with Holy water.
"I don't quite understand the purpose of these, Buffy," Giles said. Buffy
picked up one.
"Well, all the slayerettes, even you Giles, carries one around, so if a
vampire attacks you, just shoot some Holy water in their eyes," Buffy
explained.
"Just like pepper spray," Willow commented.
"Yeah, but this is just a precautionary measure. I want everyone to stay
somewhere where none of the vamps can get you," Buffy said.
"Buffy, we're going to work out of Oz's basement, because Angel can come
into the library whenever he wants," Willow told buffy, as she was putting
some of the weapons into a box. Xander packing up books with Giles and
Cordelia. Oz was helping Willow pack the weapons.
"Okay, what else needs to be done?" Buffy asked.
"Well, that's the last box. Buffy would you help carry these boxes out to
Oz's van?" Giles asked, gesturing at a stack of five boxes.
"Sure," Buffy replied, picking up the stack of boxes. "Oz, where are you
parked?"
****************
Jenny was sitting across from the elderwoman of her tribe. Jenny sipped
her coffee.
"So, Janna, you have returned to us."
"Yes, grandmother. I need your help," Jenny returned simply.
"It is about Angelus. . .and a girl. . .and others. Tell me about it.
What do you need?"
"It is about Angel. The girl is Buffy and she is the Slayer. She loves
him, and with his soul, he loved her. He helped them, Buffy, her watcher
and her friends. And me. He saved my life. Now, they think it's my fault
he lost his soul. I need help to restore his soul. And I want to make it
permanent," Jenny explained, crossing her fingers, hoping they would be
able to help her.
"I knew you would come. I have already begun the search. I will try to
help you Janna, but I cannot cast the spell. It must be someone who was
affected by the soul. And they must be trained in magic."
"What does the training involve? Can I do it?" Jenny asked.
"I was hoping you'd ask. Come with me Janna," the elderwoman got up and
beckoned for Jenny to follow. Jenny followed silently.
*****************
They all sat together in the back of Oz's van. Buffy was getting nervous.
The sun was dipping down to the horizon. They probably only had another
half an hour.
"Here we are," Oz said, pulling into the driveway. They all jumped out and
Buffy grabbed the boxes. Willow grabbed her bag and Xander carried Buffy's
bag.
Oz led them into the house and down to the basement.
"Are you certain it's okay for us to be here?" Giles asked.
"Yeah, like I said, no sweat," Oz replied.
"I'd feel better if we all stayed here tonight. Is that okay with you Oz?
I just don't want anyone going out between sunset tonight and sunrise
tomorrow," Buffy said.
"Sure, no problem. You guys can stay as long as you want. My mom's out of
town visiting relatives and my dad works nights," Oz answered.
"Let's unpack then."
