Disclaimer: All the character's from BtVS and AtS belong to Joss Whedon and crew. A few of my own character's are squished in there too, but if they're not from BtVS or AtS, then they're mine.

.:a/n:. So, I decided after all to put up a sequel to The Minister's Daughter. But, if it doesn't get any reviews, then there's really no point in keeping it up, now is there? You don't necessarily have to have read the original to get this. But, it would probably be best. Anyway, please tell me what you think. I hope there are still some people out there who like it, and I didn't take too long. After all, it's been a year =S oops, lol
Buffy Summers hurried around her room, grabbing random clothes and stuffing them into her suitcase. She only had less then fifteen minutes before her plane left, and still she wasn't done packing.

"Should've done that last night B," her cousin, Faith said from the doorway.

"Shut up Faith," Buffy said, shoving her last piece of clothing into the bag and zipping it up.

She walked over to where her cousin stood, and looked down at the little girl she held in her arms. Buffy pushed aside some of her blonde hair that was beginning to grow long, and kissed her forehead.

"I'm going to miss you so much Hallie."

Hallie was Buffy's one year old daughter. Buffy hadn't expected such a small child to effect her life in such a big way, but she had. Her life now revolved around her daughter, she was all Buffy knew.

Buffy had left home three months before Hallie was born. She'd moved into an apartment with Xander, Faith and their son, Connor.

Xander had graduated a year earlier then Buffy, because she missed time during her pregnancy. So now Xander had a job as a construction worker, and made enough money to look after their small family. And that's what they were, a family.

"Are you ready Buff?" Xander asked, appearing next to Faith. "You're gonna be late if you don't hurry."

"I was just saying by to Hallie," Buffy said, a tear escaping. "I haven't been away from her for this long before."

"Don't worry B, we'll take after her," Faith said. "She's got Connor to keep her company."

"I know..." Buffy said, taking her daughter in her arms. She squeezed her tightly, before kissing her again on the forehead, and passing her back to her cousin. "Bye."

Buffy waved slightly as Xander gently pulled her out of the room. Once they were out of the apartment, Xander let her go, and the two started for the car.

"You don't have to go you know?" he said, putting her bags in the trunk and shutting it. "If you don't want to leave her."

"No," Buffy said. "This is good. We can't be together all the time. What am I going to do when she goes off to college? Go with her?"

Xander smiled, and opened the door for her. Buffy slid inside, and whiped away the tears streaming from her eyes.

"This is good for you too Buff," he said, starting the car. "You need a break. Try and have fun, will you? You're going to Europe with all of your buddies from school. Do you know how much I envy you?"

Buffy laughed. "Wanna trade places?"

"C'mon, turn that frown upside down. Hallie will be okay," he said. "We've been around her since she popped out of you. At least she isn't going to someone unfamiliar."

"You're right Xand, she knows you. She has Connor. She'll be fine."

Xander glanced over at his friends and saw her unconvinced look. He felt bad for her, she had never been away from her daughter for more then an hour. Going for two months, might just drive her off the edge.
