CH.50

After their visits, Willow and Tara fell asleep, tired from the births and excitement. Ryan put the cribs on each side of the bed and set clones to take care of them while he was out taking care of some things.

Currently, he was in a meeting with all the top brass of the slayer council. Buffy asked when everyone had entered the room. "So, what was so important that you left your wives and children to take care of personally?"

Ryan sighed. "Apparently there was a prophecy that's been subverted intentionally. It was big enough that it caused a tear in the fabric of reality, if I hadn't stepped in, the next strongest being in this universe would've only been able to patch it for a while at best. Or the First would've used that chance to do something horrific to us all."

Dawn spoke up. "That sounds like a good enough reason."

Faith asked."So, what caused the prophecy to screw up?"

Ryan looked at Giles and told them."It was the Shanshu Prophecy, it broke a little now that there are two vampire champions with souls in play."

Buffy's eyes bugged out."Spike's alive?"

Ryan nodded. "That necklace he wore apparently sucked him into it and spit him out once it was in Wolfram and Hart. Apparently, Cordelia is dead as well now. There was a PTB that took human form while we were fighting in the Hellmouth. It killed her as it was born from her body. She didn't make it. I spent some time in Angel's mind and I know the plan he has now. We can't interfere until he makes his move, he's going to wage war in a few months, we'll go then and help. Until then, unless Spike or one of them comes to us, we can't interfere. Lyndsey, I wanted you and Faith to go to LA and keep us apprised of the situation, so that when it's time we can be there to help."

Lyndsey nodded and looked to Buffy for confirmation on the orders. When she nodded both Faith and him left to pack. Buffy turned to Ryan."Show us everything, and your thought process as well."

Ryan touched the fountain of water in the center of the conference table and let it light up. He injected everything he knew and how he came to the conclusions. "I'll leave you all to the show, I'm going to be with my wives now. Let me know if there's a need for a change in plans."

Ryan left and went to his bedroom, he found the occupants asleep except for his clones. He let them disperse and waited for the babies or his wives to need someone while watching them with a smile on his face. Every time he saw them a smile broke out on his face.

He thought of everything they've gone through since he met them and shook his head thinking it was all worth it. Over the past six months, thousands of slayers were found and brought into the fold.

There were some hiccups along the way, but otherwise, everything was going as planned. Almost all of the world's magical artifacts had either landed in their laps or were owned by someone else who wasn't willing to part with them.

That was ok with him because if they were demons the slayers slaughtered them and took them by force. When it came to humans, they bought the items for absurd amounts or had someone steal said items.

The magical creatures that the charmed ones were protecting were given their own pocket dimension that demons couldn't enter and most demons were driven underground or left the dimension for another easier one to live in.

All over the world millions of demons were slaughtered or fled to different dimensions while Ryan locked the dimensions they went to outside the barrier one at a time. The world got a lot easier to live in for humans fast enough. Their next step was to take out the demon clans and larger organizations that were dug in deep into this dimension.

Ryan got up as his daughter made her awake state clear. He changed her and woke up Tara long enough to feed her. "Tara baby, Claire wants some food, and I really want you to eat now that you're waking up."

He helped her sit up and handed their daughter to her. He grabbed the plate of food his cloned made and sat it on a bed tray in front of her."Eat, I'll be waking Willow in a sec because she needs to eat as well and little Nathan needs to eat after I change his diaper."

Tara kisses him and went to breastfeeding Claire while eating some food herself. Ryan took his son to the bathroom and changed him on the baby changing table there. When he brought him back, he carefully woke up Willow and did the same for her.

While they were eating, he set up a movie for the girls to watch and put hanging toys over the cribs that way the babies could play and listen to the light music. He put up filter barriers around the cribs so that they could hear the babies but not the other way around.

When his kids were full their mothers put them to bed then started their toy's music and spinning. Ryan smiled and told them. "We have eternity now and somehow I can't wait to experience every moment together with you both."

Willow told him."Hush now, we still have to give our last gifts to the our family."

Tara nodded. "Get it ready, it's time to start, we can't keep this happiness to ourselves. Have you decided how you're going to do the final part?"

Ryan nodded. "I'll go personally outside the barrier to do it and ensure it's a success."

The girls nodded and he left to get started.

-Three weeks later.-

Ryan returned in time to here that Illyria was being reborn into Fred, from Angel's group. Angel called for Willow's help. Amanda, the slayer in charge keeping everyone a cohesive army unit, told them off because of their work for Wolfram and Hart and hung up.

Ryan laughed and shook his head."She'll be fine in the end anyway. It's almost time now. A few more weeks at most."

He called a meeting with the slayer council and everyone showed up, he went to fetch Tara and Willow himself. When he entered the bedroom, they turned to him and asked."Is it done?"

Ryan nodded."Everything's ready, how have you been since I left?"

Tara spoke first."We've been fine, if a little horny. We may have taken it out on Pheobe while you were gone. We've gotten so used to there being three of us that it's hard to even enjoy ourselves without someone else here with us. At first, we had to keep it light because our bodies were still recovering but-"

Willow took over from there. "She's become a bit blunt now that we've given birth. It's sexy as hell isn't it?"

Ryan smiled. "Yes, very, but unfortunately, we have a meeting to attend. Make clones to watch the babies, we need to be off."

Ryan made a few clones alongside theirs and the three of them took off to the council room. When they entered, everyone else was seated and waiting. Ryan waved a hand and the maximum wards activated, cutting off the room from the outside world altogether. Another wave and he made sure the room was clear of bugs before he nodded to Willow to begin.

Willow started off explaining."Everything that is said here, stays in this room. No one is to discuss anything outside this room, we're locking your memories until the final reveal so that everything said stays in this place permanently. Even if someone were to read your mind, they would have to be here now to be able to see this part."

Buffy asked."That's all good and well, but what has you so spooked that it's this well guarded?"

Tara told them. "We are going to offer everyone but Dawn and Lyndsey here, immortality."

Chaos reigned for a bit as everyone took in the words. Then finally Willow spoke."Lyndsey is already immortal to a point and Dawn will be soon enough. She's at the edge of being able to tap into the key's power. We've actually been blocking her ability to so that she can learn better control first. When she's ready, we will slowly remove the blockage and she'll be able to adapt to her powers."

Giles asked. "That's good and all, but how are you going to make us immortal?"

Lyndsey commented."You've done it, haven't you?"

Ryan turned to him and nodded sadly. Lyndsey explained."He went back to his people's last settlement, just outside of phase with our reality, and brought back their cloning technology to make a body that would make each of you like Willow and Tara. You'll be half human and half of his race, with the gifts of both. It's his last gift to you guys. I can't imagine what he had to go through to do it."

Ryan looked away and waited for the sad memories to pass before turned back and told them. "Once your soul fuses with the bodies, you'll be effectively immortal. It would take the equivalent of a collapsing universe to kill you, and even at your weakest, you'll be able to escape to another one before it kills you. Not as sturdy as me and the girls, but it's the best I could do. The only reason I've ever been injured is because I can't use my powers beyond a certain limit because of the barrier I put up long ago. Which brings me to Lyndsey, there is a seed that has the leftover energy from the gods I killed long ago in it. If you take it yourself, you should almost be their equal and if you choose their route I can transfer your current power into the clone as well, that'll put you at almost Willow and Tara's power. It's up to you really."

Everyone took that in for a while and when they made their decisions Willow turned to Buffy and Dawn. "Now that you've agreed to become like us, we've got one more surprise for you."

Willow waved a hand and reviled a young and fit, Joyce Summers to the room." She wanted you to make your own decisions without her own coloring yours."

Joyce hugged her daughters and spoke."He went to heaven and made God an offer he couldn't refuse. He apologized for 'Plucking chicken feather' from the angels in exchange for my return as an immortal by his way. God agreed so long as he agreed himself to never return to heaven without just cause."

Ryan, Willow, and Tara smiled at the sight of their family reunion. After a long while, Ryan waved another hand and they were all transported to a hidden space out of phase with reality. That each stood before a cloned body of themselves. Tara told them."The hard part is already done, all you need to do is put your hand on the clone's chest and the spell formation will do the rest."

One by one, each member did as they were told. The last of them being Xander who asked."What'll happen to my totem powers?"

Ryan answered. "Your powers come from your soul's interaction with primal spirits. You won't lose that no matter what body you end up in."

Xander nodded then started his own transfer. Seven hours later, each of the group began to wake up. When they gathered their bodies Ryan told them. "Leave them, when we leave, this space will implode on itself destroying everything inside. If you take them with you, they could be used against you."

Ryan walked over to Lyndsey's previous body and took the power from it and transferred it to Lyndsey's new body. "Is everyone ready to leave?"

Giles mumbled something about it being a waste to destroy it, but Willow told him."Humans aren't ready and may never be, for this level of technology, but if you're so worried about it, don't be. We have all the knowledge about how to build it all over again. Ryan couldn't let his people's legacy go so easily, so he stored it all in his head. If you want to know it just ask, but be warned, not all of it is good."

Giles nodded and the transported themselves out as the place imploded into a vacuum bomb and vanished. Back in the conference room, Joyce let them know. "I'm going to be taking some time to get used to being on earth again. I'll be at the resort, Ryan offered me for a while. I expect both of you girls to come and visit me!"

On her way out she muttered." God, heaven was boring!"

Ryan laughed with the group. Only Joyce would call heaven boring, even Ryan found it entertaining, if only because he could pick on the angels.

Ryan coughed when he laughed a little too long and looked at Lyndsey. "So, what are the changes so far in Angel's situation?"

Lyndsey began his report. "Nothing major so far, Angel's dating a werewolf and you already know about Fred's situation. Once Illyria is reborn, I plan to make contact with it if it's follower fails to mention your greetings. Are you sure Illyria will fall to our side?"

Ryan nodded."Wolfram and Hart destroyed its armies long ago and its new body isn't strong enough to hold all of its powers. Be on the lookout for time anomalies and spatial disturbances."

Lyndsey nodded. "And if it decides to stay with them?"

Ryan turned to Buffy."It's your call, but it'll never follow Wolfram and Hart. It was a God-king, it won't bow to lesser beings even now. Though almost everyone here could kill it in it's prime now so there's really no need to worry."

Buffy nodded."If it decides to stay and help Angel's group, leave it. Otherwise, deliver the message and offer it a place here. We could find it's knowledge of the many dimensions invaluable."

Lyndsey nodded and grabbed Faith's hand before teleporting out. Buffy turned to the rest of the group."Almost all lesser-known demons have either left or are dead by now. It's time we start the full force extermination, kill all those that haven't left yet, they had their chance."

Buffy went ahead and told them."Leave Wolfram and Hart be, for now, everything else goes. Who wants to take out Dracula?"

Xander raised a hand."I will, that son of a bitch tried to turn me into a minion. I'll bring back his Vampyr book. We'll lock it away with the rest of the dangerous artifacts."

Buffy nodded and told them. " Let's begin phase two then."

With that everyone teleported out of the room and went their separate ways. Ryan took Willow and Tara on a date with Phoebe to a month-long getaway retreat. Ryan enjoyed watching the girls take a load off, for the first time since their date in Italy.

He took them shopping in Paris and Dubai, they went to Ithaa undersea restaurant for lunch and spent their evening in getting massages in Thailand at a place called Soneva Kiri. For their dinner plans, he took them home to an estate he bought in Hawaii. He made them a salmon and dolphin sushi platter with alligator steaks.

After the food was gone, they rewarded him for all his effort by treating him to a show between the three of them. The show-stopped with each of them taking turns riding him until he popped like warm champagne multiple times. They eventually fell asleep using him as a pillow.

Ryan woke up the next day to Phoebe hard at work on her future vision of kids. When he let out his fourth release since waking up, both Tara and Willow woke up and joined them.

Ryan smiled when Phoebe told him her vision was a sure thing now. Willow asked."Does that mean you're no longer going to join us?"

Phoebe smiles. "Just try to stop me, besides he's the father, he'll want to be apart of our daughter's life, I'm sure of it. By the way, how did you take time from taking care of the kids?"

Tara smiled now. "We didn't, we have a temporary clone spell that allows us to be in multiple places at once, so long as our minds can handle the stress."

Phoebe nodded in understanding. "I can't wait until the balance fully tips now, then I won't have to worry too much about spells for personal gain. So long as I'm careful anyway."

Ryan nodded."Don't worry, we'll keep you from becoming greedy or addicted to overusing magic."

He slid behind her and grabbed her hips. "Now enough worries, for now, we have about a month for the last battles to take place, to relax. And I really want to continue our fun."

With that he made his presence know to Phoebe in a big way. They spent the rest of the day having the best sex of their lives. Eventually, none of them could walk properly because their legs were too shaky, without magic.

So Ryan led the stumbling group to the hot-tub. He poured them some non-alcoholic beverages and enjoyed stories of their past encounters with everything from lovers to demons. Willow spoke up when she found out Phoebe had been evil at one point. "So, I'm not the only one who went evil here. I'm beginning to think Tara and Ryan have a type!"

Ryan snorted."I've been far more evil then both of you, it's Tara that has a type, isn't it sweetheart?"

He leaned forward and pulled her into his lap. Before she could deny it she groaned as he slid inside her for the hundredth time that day. She tried to say something but Willow shut her up with a kiss, followed by Phoebe's own hands playing below the waterline. Ryan leaned forward a little and gave her a small hickey sized bite on her shoulder as he picked up the pace. After Tara had her third orgasm with their helping hands, he let out his own, telling her while smirking. "Do try not to get any into the water, we don't want the housekeeper to be angry at us."

Tara blushed beat red and whispered. "If I get pregnant from this, I'm tearing it off."

Ryan paled for a bit until Willow grabbed him and said. "You know we can't have that Tara, we'll just turn him into a girl for a day, sound fair?"

Tara nodded, liking the idea. Phoebe told them. "Can't be so bad, my older sister Prue was a man for a day before. I've been a mermaid and a banshee. What could go wrong?"

Ryan facepalmed as Phoebe continued while touching Tara's hand. "Yep, definitely getting the woman treatment sometimes, congratulations."

Tara blushed while Willow told her. "It wasn't so bad, at least I can be the midwife this time!"

Phoebe grabbed her hand and told her." With the day we just had? Not likely. Congrats."

Willow turned to Ryan. "I'll chop it off myself!"

The girls laughed their asses off at his sheer terror. When they looked away he made a clone and replaced himself for the rest of the night. He vanished from the tub as the clone took his place, teleporting to the bathroom for his clothes. His only thought as he left was. -Poor clone!-

The next day, he came back to find a female version of himself, tangled in his wives and lovers' arms. Waving a hand the clone vanished, leaving himself free to continue their getaway unabated. While he had its memories, he most certainly didn't want to dwell on them. He'd experienced that the first time Willow and Tara wanted an all-girls night.

He had nothing against's gender changes, but it left him with a headache on his own gender afterward. And he's not even supposed to be able to get headaches. Sighing he thought. -The things I do for love.-

Looking at the beautiful content Women before him, he continued the thought. -Worth it every single time.-

He woke each one of them up, telling them. "I'll give your bodies some rest for today, it's to the beach now, get your bathing suits on. We're going to Maui. Then we'll hit P3 to see Phoebe's sisters and let them know the good news."
