*Five Years Later*

Tia grabbed her flip-flops and headed back up to the villa. "Hey baby. I was just on the beach. Took me a while to get back up here. You finished building it yet?" "Not quite. It'll be ready in time I promise." "It better be, I'm counting on you Dean." Dean gave Tia a peck on the cheek and smiled.

*DING!*

"Ooo an e-mail. I'll check it." Tia hobbled over to the laptop. "It's from Olivia..." "I thought you hadn't spoken to her since the funeral..." "I...I haven't."

Dear Tia,

I'm not sure if that was a good way to start an e-mail and I'm quite nervous so please forgive me. I know it's been five years but you were my best friend. Hence my reason for e-mailing you. I have no idea where you are, who you're with or what you're doing and it's okay to say no, but would you do me the honor of attending my wedding?

If it's not too much to ask, would you be my maid of honor? It's in the church; you know the one. On the 23rd April. Please be there. I look forward to seeing you.

Your dearest friend,
Olivia.

Tia read out the e-mail to Dean. "She's getting married? About time Angel popped the question. I did it a while ago." Dean put his hands around Tia's waist and kissed her. "Yes and we had an amazing, secluded wedding on the beach."

"You wanna go don't you?" "I have to. She's my best friend." "Was your best friend. If you wanna go then we'll go. I don't mind. I gave up hunting years ago so I'm not gonna hurt Angel."

Tia and Dean gave over their boarding passes. "Are you sure you're allowed to fly?" "The doctor said it was fine. Can me and my husband board the plane now?" "Of course." Dean helped Tia board the plane and put the hand luggage in the overhead compartments.

The plane ride was about six hours from Hawaii to California. Dean shook Tia gently when they arrived and everyone was getting off the plane.

"Sweetie, everyone's getting off now." Tia fluttered her eyes open and walked off the plane with Dean.

***

Tia and Dean stepped out of the airport and saw Olivia standing there. "Tia!" Olivia ran up to Tia and hugged her. "I missed you! How have you been? Omg are you pregnant?!" "Naa I'm just fat." Olivia stopped laughing. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to offend you." "I'm kidding! Yes I'm pregnant! Eight months to be exact."

Olivia had only just noticed that Dean was standing there next to Tia. "Dean...? Wait are you two...?" They both nodded. "Wow I had no idea. That's amazing! Congratulations, it's good you moved on and found a boyfriend who loves you." "Actually we're married." "Dean that's amazing!"

"Thank you. Shall we be going?" "Yes of course! I think we'll need to find a bigger dress for you now but that should be no problem." Dean opened the door for Tia and slid in next to her.

***

They arrived at Olivia's house, the same one she had five years ago. "How comes you never moved from Sunnydale?" "We wanted to stay here. It held memories, both good and bad. A lot happened after you left. Dean only stayed in contact a few times over the years and we never heard from you Tia."

"I never kept in contact with you? Not once. That's sounds awful but it's the truth." Sam came out and held Olivia's waist. "That's not true bro. You e-mail me twice a year." "Yeah I e-mail you but never Olivia and Angel." "Olivia and Angel aren't- you never heard did you?" Sam looked at Olivia.

"I never got a chance to tell her. I thought I wrote it in the e-mail. Clearly not." "Aren't what? Anyway I'm surprised Angel let your sorry ass come to his wedding." Tia asked, still clearly angry at Sam after all these years.

"Well considering it's my wedding." Sam answered sassily. "You're getting married to him! How could you? After all he's done!" "You got married to Dean!" "Dean never killed my boyfriend! Dean is the most sweet and caring person I have ever met. He would never harm me or jeopardise our relationship in any way."

"He came here to kill Spike too. Remember that." "You're forgetting that he didn't. You invite me to your wedding, knowing that I hate him."

"I invited you because you're my best friend. You're meant to be happy for me! It's been five years. Let it go!" Olivia stormed off into the house crying.

"Should I go after her?" Sam shook his head. "Leave her to cool off. She's been getting herself worked up lately over the silliest things. She was excited but nervous to see you. I don't think she told you about me because she was afraid you wouldn't come."

"When did this happen?" "About a year after the...accident, me and Olivia were friends, Angel forgave me. One day it got too much for her and she left him."

***

It was the day of the wedding, after sundown. Sam was at the alter, with Dean, who was his best man. The music started playing and Tia started walking (more like waddling) down the aisle throwing rose petals into the air.

Olivia came after her in a beautiful white gown and a veil. Her father had passed away in previous years so she had Angel to walk her down the aisle.

She whispered a quick 'thank you' and took her place next to Sam.

Olivia and Sam had a wonderful ceremony and joined their friends and family later on at the reception.

Tia took Dean, Olivia and Sam off to one side where it was quiet. "Congratulations guys. I honestly mean that, and Sam I'm sorry. It's time to forgive you, I understand that now." They all joined in group hug when they were interrupted by a man on the mic.

"Would the bride and groom please join us for their first dance?" Olivia and Sam made their way over to the dance floor and Can't Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis Presley started playing softly.

Dean whispered to Tia "Hmm Elvis? Hey you know what, I can dig Elvis." Tia giggled. (A/N: Twist and Shout reference if you didn't know.)

"I love you Sam." "I love you too Olivia. I'm gonna work hard to make sure Tia properly forgives me, even if it takes a lifetime because she's your best friend and I'd do anything for you."

Sam took a quick glance at Tia then looked back at Olivia. "We should start our own family soon." Olivia nodded and kissed Sam.

Soon everyone was dancing along when the next song began to play, even Angel.

A/N:

Finally finished this book! Hope you all enjoyed it!

-Tia.

DISCLAIMER!: So I just read this book through with my friend a couple years after making it and realised there was a couple things that didn't make sense like how Olivia knew it was a spell etc. I write at like 2am most of the time and so I don't really think stuff through. I will try to get everything sorted as soon as I am able to.
