“Baby? Baby, do you know where Steven is? He needs to finish his homework.” I smiled brightly and looked up at a pair of beautiful blue eyes that held nothing but love for me.

“Not sure sweetheart, I’ll go check out in the backyard. I’m sure he’s running around with the dog and hoping we forget he’s got real things to do.” He kissed my forehead and I watched as he headed out the backdoor, laughter flowing into the room before the door shut.

I turned back around slowly and started doing the dishes again, humming a song softly to myself. “Pretty girl on every corner, sunshine turns the sky to gold…” Not really sure where I know that song from but it’s pretty and I’ve known it for a few years now I believe.

Glancing up I looked out the side window, smiling at the day and trying to figure out what I was going to do for dinner. I’m thinking chicken is a good thing to make, maybe fried with mashed potatoes. “Sounds good to me.” I murmured softly to myself, heading to the fridge and pulling things out

I made dinner without much effort, moving around the kitchen with ease and humming softly as I heard my husband and son playing in the backyard. I knew when he went out there nobody was going to end up doing homework. It’s alright, it’s a weekend so I guess it’s ok.

“Lindsey? Sweetie?” I walked over to the back door and held it open, smiling as I watched them running around the backyard. “It’s dinnertime boys.”

Dinner was quiet and uneventful, which was nice. A bit of idle talk and weekend plan making before I finally got Steven upstairs to do his homework while I decided to unwind and have quiet time with my ever so busy husband.

“Hey you.” I smiled down at him before sitting next to him, finding my niche with his arm around me. “You look deep in thought, what’s going on?”

“Nothin’ darlin’, nothing to worry about. I have a big case this week and who knows what’s going to happen, lately things have been going a bit…unplanned I should say.”

“I believe in you, you know that.” I kissed his cheek before he pulled me closer to him, making me laugh and playfully bat his hands away. “Stop that.”

“Never.” He grinned and pulled me to him for a deep kiss and I found myself melting to his touch, soon finding myself pulled up onto his lap and looking down at him.

“Woman on top?” I smirked and kissed his nose. “So how are you torturing Angel this week? Going to try and catch one of his little slayer sluts and hand them to him on a platter?”

“Better then that.” He grinned, brushing my hair off my face. “Not worried about that now. You’re what I’m thinkin’ about. I’ve a new focus now. You…”


Blinking a few times, my eyes cleared of their haze and I found myself looking out a small glass window. Looking around with just my eyes – since everything else was seemingly immobile – I tried to remember where I was and what was going on.

Last thing I remember is that no good Angel telling me Lindsey wasn’t coming. I waited in the office for him, I knew he’d come back to me, he promised. We were going to start new lives together, be normal and he… he promised to show me what life was really all about. Not this cookie cutter nightmare that I was mystically born into.

The building started to shake and I felt the partners closing in, I didn’t have to still be a liaison to them to feel them, which was a feeling you never got out of your system once it was there. it dug and clung to your spine like a leach and never let go.

I remember bits and pieces of the walls falling in moments before I felt the sharpest pain I’ve ever felt in my life as what I can assume was a beam from the ceiling crash down on me. Breaking my neck and spine, instantly killing me.

How fragile the mortal body is.

So was this my afterlife? Was I forgiven by my fathers that made me and given another chance to prove myself to them? Did they test me and I could hope I passed that test and pleased them, wanting to give me another chance.

I started to try and move around when I noticed I couldn’t. Maybe it was my body healing or something, after all I was paralyzed. No, something didn’t sit right with that idea, it felt off and where I was felt off.

My eyes widened and I immediately remembered where I was.

"Sure it'll hold him?"

"Permanent storage. If there's anything Wolfram & Hart excels at, it's keeping their unmentionables unmentioned."

"Congratulations. You get to live forever, unable to move, to touch, or to feel... or to affect anything in the world around you…"


Somehow the partners thought it fitting to give me my punishment in the basement, no doubt next to Pavayne.

I was now an unmentionable…

This actually made me feel bad for Eve. LOL I don't think Wolfram and Hart would have let her out of her contract that easily so I can definitely see this happening.
