Rating: R (for language)
AN: Okay since my story 'Life's Journey' has been removed… (I'm thinking of posting it again...if you want that is...since I have the story…but still…I'm damn pissed!) This story is some what related to that story. Hope you like it… (Hope I don't get banned again…)
Buffy's POV
"Where are you Faith?"
I asked myself as I continue to walk around Sunnydale hoping to find her. Giles got a call saying that she's awake and beat up a lady to steal her clothes. She could have just asked for some clothes…she didn't have to beat the lady.
I sighed decided to check mom if ever she saw her. Also…I'm worried that Faith might come to her and well…kidnap her like she did to Willow. I quickly ran towards the house.
"Mom?! Mom!"
"Buffy? What is it?"
I was relieved to see her looking concern as to why I came to the house yelling for her. I lied to her by saying that it's nothing and that I'm just…hungry. She smiled and told me to go to the kitchen and she'll fix something up.
After I had my dinner, I decided to head upstairs and get some sleep. I'll just head at the dorm early in the morning for school. I slowly step up towards the stairs and couldn't help hear something. It's like…someone's crying…like a baby…
I frowned and slowly move towards my room where the crying is. I took the doorknob and opened it slowly thinking it might just be a trap to lure me. I peeked inside and saw no one…but the crying is still there.
I opened the door wide now and looked around. Everything seems normal. That's when I noticed something lying on the floor. I looked towards it and saw something that made my eyes wide.
"What is a baby doing here?!"
Faith's POV
"Argh…why the hell is everything…spinning?"
I groan as I felt my head throb. I stumble towards the bed and just lay down feeling shitty. I just awoke from my 8 months of sleeping…thanks to B…whom I just found out has a new squeaky boy toy! She gutted me for Angel and where the hell is he?! Well…definitely not in B's arms. Maybe he's dead or something…
I pulled the comforter to me and closed my eyes trying not to think of the blonde bitch that I'm gonna kick tomorrow…
Buffy's POV
"MOM!!!!!"
I yelled as I continue to look at the baby on the floor, crying. Mom hurriedly ran towards my room frowning.
"What?! What is it?! Are there vampires here?!"
I shook my head and pointed towards the crying baby.
"Worse…"
She raised her eyebrow and slowly went to wards the crying baby. She cradled it to her arms trying to calm it.
"Shhh…it's okay…"
I frowned and went towards the window thinking that someone might've put her in my room through there.
'Why can't everyone else…just does it the normal way? Like putting it in front of the door or something…'
I turn to mom and the baby. She looked at me frowning slightly and walked towards me with the baby in her arms, still crying.
"Buffy…I think its hungry…would you carry her for awhile while I head for the store and buy some stuff for him?"
I frowned and looked at the loudmouth baby in mom's arms. I haven't carried a baby before…plus…somehow…I just have a weird feeling. I sighed and nodded as mom slowly let me carry him. She quickly walked to the door and turn to me.
"I'll be right back as soon as I can…"
I nodded and she quickly went out of my room. I sighed and looked at the door.
"Please hurry…"
The baby in my arms still continues it's crying and screaming as I continue to rock him.
"Hey…it's alright…we'll find your mother…calm down now…please…"
Oddly…that made it stop for awhile. I looked at him closely and couldn't help but smile at the cuteness of his face. He has blonde hair that's getting longer and a cute nose that's red from crying. His lips are red too…kissable lips. I can't seem to see his eyes as it was close with tears still falling in his eyes. I wiped them away with my thumb that made him open his eyes. His eyes…were…familiar…like I've seen it before. Chocolate brown eyes…
His eyes went wide as he looked at me. His surprise look was slowly turning into…a happy one? I frowned as he started laughing, giggling and playing with my hair which was loose.
"Ma…ma…"
I frowned and held him up. He called me mama… I continue to frown as he continues laughing and clapping his hands. I continue to hold him up that made his diaper fall. That's when I noticed that it's not a he…it's a she…a girl. I guess I was confused when I saw her hair. She looked like a boy…
I shook my head.
"Geez…whoever put the diaper to you…don't seem to know how…huh?"
She laughed and held out her hands trying to reach me. I smiled and pulled her to me and rocked her.
She finally got tired and fall asleep. That's when mom went to my room carrying a bottle and some diapers. She frowned when she saw the baby sleeping soundly in my arms.
"How did you make her stop?"
I shrugged, smiling.
"Some say I have a gift…"
Faith's POV
I couldn't help but groan as I felt the ray of the sun in my face. I slowly opened my eyes and frowned.
"Where…the fuck…am I?"
I sat up and looked around. I was in my old apartment where I was stabbed by Buffy…who sent me into a fucking 8 months coma! I frowned and slowly stood up to look around for some clothes and probably…money. I found most of my clothes in the closet. I got a shower and changed.
After the nice shower and changing some clothes, I looked around and found an odd large envelope on top of the TV. I opened it and found a credit card with my name on it; a round shiny thingy that I don't know what the hell is for…and a video tape which has my name on it.
I played it and found the mayor smiling at me.
Buffy's POV
I slowly made my way downstairs trying not to wake up the baby who was sleeping beside me. It was mom's idea to let her sleep here. She said I need to train to become a mother someday…
'Yeah right…like that's gonna happen…I'm a slayer for God's sake…I don't have time to have…kids…or a family…'
I sighed and rubbed my eyes as I walked inside the kitchen where mom is cooking.
"Morning…"
"Morning dear…did you sleep well?"
I sat down the chair and yawned again.
"No…I was like a board in my own bed because I'm terrified that I might crush her. So…what will we do with her?"
"Well…we could take care of her for awhile…or we could…take her to the orphanage and—"
"No…I…I don't really…think an orphanage might work. I don't seem to trust them…"
Well that's the way I feel about orphanage. You might never know what kind of family they might send her. She might end up with an abusive mother and a drunken father. She turned to me and nodded.
"Then it seems that…she'll be here for awhile…"
I nodded and groaned when I heard her crying again. Mom gave me the bottle and told me that she'll finish fixing my breakfast while I tend to the baby. I frowned as I slowly made my way upstairs to the crying baby.
'I wonder how Willow would react when she hears about this…'
Faith's POV
"So…I can do some damage in B when I use this…"
I said to myself as I made my way towards the university where I assume the bitch is. Its noon now and I'm so full what with all the food that I ate. I must've feasted on several dishes. Sleeping for 8 months can really make a person hungry. I'm really thankful for the mayor for giving me…all his money. Can you fucking believe it? He inherited me so much money I think I can build my own mansion.
'But first things first…I've gotta pay a little visit on sweet lil B…'
Buffy's POV
"So you're telling me…that when you got home yesterday…you found a baby girl in your room…who calls you…mama?"
I nodded as I continue to eat the sandwich on my hand. Both Willow and Xander looked at each other for awhile with their mouths open. Xander then looked at me smiling.
"Is she cute?"
I smiled back recalling how she looked.
"She's beautiful…"
"Wow…I got to see her! She's with Giles right?"
I nodded and couldn't help but giggle as I remember Giles face when mom and I handed him the baby. He looked at her for awhile in his arms…like he's waiting for the baby to do something. He did assure us that the baby would be alright though. After giving him the baby's things…we said our goodbyes and mom headed towards the gallery while I headed towards the university to…attend class.
Willow giggled at the thought of Giles babysitting.
"He'll probably read some book on how to deal with a baby…"
All of us laughed at the thought. It is kinda funny when you think about it.
"Hmmm…nice to see the gang all happy and intact while I was asleep…"
I stood up and frowned slightly as I saw Faith standing by us, grinning. I've forgotten all about her. Willow and Xander did the same and quickly went to my side glaring at her.
"Awww…no 'hi' or 'good to see you still alive' or something…? Now I'm hurt…"
"How about get lost!"
Willow said glaring at her. Faith grinned.
"Well look who has gained some backbone…never thought I'd see the day…"
Xander was about to say something when I stepped forward towards Faith.
"What do you want Faith?"
"You know what I want B…no use pretending you don't…"
I looked at the ground knowing what she wants. Revenge…for the coma thingy. But I really didn't have a choice that time. She went evil and tried to kill most of my friends…and Angel. In the end, I was supposed to choose…Angel or her. I had to choose Angel because…I don't want him to die…I don't want either of them to die. I guess…I was just so…mad at her for betraying me that…I got carried away. I know that if I tell her that…she'll get mad. So I just have to be honest with her…
I looked up at her again, frowning slightly.
"Faith…can we just…start over? I don't want it to be this way…"
I notice Willow and Xander looking at me like I'm crazy or something…but that didn't stop me from wanting to start over. She seemed angry though at what I said and glared at me, stepping forward. We were facing each other closely; both of us ready to attack each other if we have to…which I really don't want.
"YOU don't want it this way?! You gutted me for a vampire and send me to a fucking coma for 8 months! You've wasted 8 months of my life! And now you want to start over?! You're crazy twinkie…far more crazy than I am…"
I looked at the ground not knowing what to say to her to make everything better. What would you say to a person whom you stabbed and put to a coma for 8 months? What would I do to make her…be my friend again? I sighed and was about to say something when I heard sirens from afar. Faith seems to hear this too.
"Shit…"
She quickly turns away from me and began to run…but stopped and turned to me again.
"We'll continue this later B…"
Her eyes were so cold when she said that. I just looked at her as she quickly ran towards the exit.
Faith's POV
"Bitch!!"
I slammed my fist on the wall as I felt the anger towards Buffy growing. She had the nerve to say that! Wanting to start over and that crap! I sat down the chair looking at the time now and then. I pulled out the silver round thingy that the mayor lent me.
"Almost show time…"
Buffy's POV
I felt emotionally stressed dealing with Faith. Xander and Willow seemed to be against my plan of starting over thinking that Faith might betray me again. I didn't listen to them though and just told them…
"I just want the…old Faith back. The one who I had fun slaying with."
That seemed to shut them up. I think they're also willing to forgive her…but they seemed hesitant and afraid that Faith might try her psychopath ways again. I just couldn't make them understand…so we just dropped the conversation.
After class we quickly went to Giles house to pick up the baby. Xander and Willow seemed fond of her. They even told me that she somewhat…look familiar. Even mom told me that yesterday. I don't seem to see any resemblance to the people I know…so I just dismissed the thought.
We decided to shop clothes for her. It's fun. People seem to think that she's mine. Who wouldn't when she calls me 'mama' all the time. After hours of shopping, Xander decided to go home saying that he has to pick up Anya in the Magic Box. Willow then also said that she'll come by later and was going to pick up some clothes in the dorm. I nodded and the baby and I went home. She again fell asleep that I laid her in my room. I smiled at how cute she looked that I kissed her in the forehead.
"You know…I don't seem to know what to call you…"
I frowned as I looked at her sleeping soundly. I suddenly heard the door open and close. Thinking that it's Willow, I quickly walked downstairs and suddenly felt cold when I realize who it was.
"Hey B…I see the old house didn't change eh?"
Faith…grinning at me. I frowned slightly.
"What are you doing here?"
She shrugged.
"Are you still asking that shit? I came here to have some revenge…ain't that a bitch?"
She reached for her pocket and pulled out…a silver ball? I frowned and pointed to where the ball is. I expected something sharp…but a ball…now I haven't seen that one…
"What are you going to do? Throw it to me and knock me out?"
"Hey don't knock it till you try it…"
"……."
"……."
I raised my eyebrow at her and tried to hold my laughter. So I just…smiled at her.
"Don't knock it till you try it? What does that mean? Is that another one of your Faithisms?"
I couldn't help tease her. What she said really doesn't make sense…and I know she realize it too. She frowned and looked away.
"It rhymes okay? Just…just shut up!"
I couldn't help but giggle at her blushing face. She looked at me again, frowning.
"You're enjoying this aren't you…?"
I smiled at her.
"I am…and it feels great."
She raised her eyebrow and I just continue to smile at her thinking that somehow…she might change her mind. The moment was ruined though when the baby cried again.
"Oh no…"
Faith's POV
I couldn't help but frown when B just ran upstairs towards her room. I groaned and rolled my eyes.
"For God's sake…I'm trying to do my revenge here!"
I quickly ran upstairs too and went inside B's room. I stared wide eye at the scene that I'm seeing. B…with a baby. Last time I saw her…that's 8 months ago…she's so…skinny…so how? I frowned and pointed at the baby in her arms.
"What the hell is that?!"
B turns to me and frowned with a baby still crying in her arms.
"Faith! Watch your tongue! She might hear it!"
"I don't think she can hear me what with the screaming she's doing and all…"
B looked at the baby and continues to her trying to calm the distressed baby. It didn't work though…
"I…I think she's hungry…"
She moved towards me and handed the baby to me. I…being the dumb one carried her in my arms.
"Faith can you watch her while I make her some milk? Thanks…"
She was gone before I can even speak.
"You've got to be…kidding… I came here to have my revenge! Not to baby-sit!"
I frowned at where Buffy made her escape.
'This just isn't my day…'
I looked at the crying baby and frowned not knowing what to do. It's actually the first time I've carried a baby before…and well…it feels weird…so I just did what I would usually do. I tapped the little fellow in her tummy.
"Hey! Hey kid! Would you just…quit it? You're too loud!"
I think my yelling seemed to make her stop. She slowly opens her small eyes and looked at me. She continues to look at me for…about a minute. It's like…she's trying to figure out who I am. I was surprised though when her she smiled and laughed…and pulled my hair…
"Hey! Ouch! Q-quit it! Pull your own hair!"
She laughed again showing me her only tooth. She kept pulling my hair hard again…and again. Her doing that made me drop the silver ball to the ground and well…it broke…into pieces. I groaned.
"Oh shit! Now look what you made me do! How the hell am I supposed to get back on B now?!"
That made her stop laughing and slowly I can see tears forming in her eyes. She's going to cry again. She's pouting now and I can't help but…notice that she…somehow…I've seen that look before.
'No time to think about that! She's gonna cry again!'
I smiled at her trying to ease her and prevent her from crying again. I think she's conserving her energy as she looked at the floor and continue to pout at it. I tapped her again so she could look at me.
"H-hey…I'm not mad…see…not mad here…j-just don't cry…please."
She looked at me and noticed my smiling face. I even offered her my hair just so she wouldn't cry. She did take it and started pulling it again. I couldn't help but wince. She began to laugh again looking at my face.
'You think that's funny huh? Why not I try it to you!'
I didn't though…I mean…she's just a child. I never hurt a child. I guess that's one of my weaknesses. I sighed and just try to smile as she continues to pull my hair. She did release it once in a while and began to clap her hands. That made me smile…she's just so…damn cute…
"Da…da…dada…"
I raised my eyebrow as she continues to say that to me…like she's saying my name or something.
'Dada? Why the hell is she calling me dada? What the hell does that mean?'
AN: Like it? Should I end it slowly…or end it quickly?
