Against All Odds
Story IV in the Unusual Series
A BVS Fan Fic by Melissa Flores

Teaser:  Cordelia and Giles’ new relationship is put to the test as the insurmountable odds of reality come crashing down on them.
Disclaimer: You know the drill, this is all Joss's, cept he would never pair Giles and Cordy together.
Author's Notes: This is part of the Unusual Series, a Giles and Cordelia romance  series. I know.. you’re going “WHA?!  EWWWW!!!” Trust me, it works. I was ewwing right behind you guys, but this actually works really good.
        Anyways, the flagship one is called “A Most Unusual Feeling” .  You should read it first, cause if'n you don't you'll be reading this going, " UH? When did Cordy and GILES get together?"  Well, it happened in that story, at a five year reunion.
Assumptions: Cordy and Giles are trying to explore their new relationship about three months after they realize they have feelings  for each other. Buffy and Angel are still together.  Implied O/W.

 This  is insane." He whispered out loud.
 Cordelia raised an eyebrow. "Don't I know it." She commented, crossing her arms.  "You don't think Daddy's gonna freak when he finds out his little lawyer to be  has fallen for the high school librarian?"
 Giles eyes grew bright with surprise.  "Pardon?" he stammered.  "Yeah, you heard me, you old fogie." She continued.   "What do you think our life is going to be like?  In twenty years I'll be helping you pee for Chrissake."
 Giles' jaw fell open.Pee?"
 Cordelia frowned.  "And you know what?" She added.  "I wouldn't have it any other way." Her mouth suddenly creased into a dazzling smile.
Excerpt from "A Most Unusual Feeling"

How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here 
taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, 
well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face

Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now) 
Featured on the soundtrack of "Against All Odds" ,1984  by Phil Collins
I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, 
well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, 
cos there's just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all I can do
and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, 
cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me 
is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take
Take a look at me now
