"Xander! Are you okay?"
Willow turned at the sound of Dawn's panicked cry. She gasped at the sight of Xander pale and shaking.
"Xander, what happened?" Willow helped him into a chair. "Are you hurt?"
Xander shook head.
"Dawn, get some brandy out. He's in shock."
Xander gratefully took the liquor bottle and quickly chugged half of it. His shaking slowly eased.
Willow rubbed his back. "Feeling better?"
Xander handed the bottle back to Dawn. "Feeling numb, which is better I guess."
Dawn perched on the arm of his chair. "What happened? I thought you were just going to get a copy of your birth certificate."
Xander rubbed a hand over his face. "I did. I guess I know now why Tony didn't like me much."
Willow and Dawn frowned. "Xander, what-"
"He's not my biological father," Xander rushed.
"He's not?" The corners of Willow's mouth curved up. "Does that mean I can-" she wiggled her fingers.
It was Dawn that glared at her. "No hexing the parentals, Willow. If I can't, you can't."
"But, I'm older," Willow protested.
"Wills," Xander interrupted. "What was the name of that mean Goth guy from the pig school you visited last month?"
Dawn wrinkled her nose. "Pig school?"
"Hogwarts," Willow muttered. "It was Snape, Severus Snape."
Xander gulped. "I was afraid of that."
"What? Why?"
Xander laid his birth certificate on the coffee table. "See for yourself."
There, under the category of father, was a name clearly printed.
"Oh boy."
"Your dad is…"
"Severus Snape."
