Warning: The POV switches every now and then, but it's pretty easy to tell when.

I imagine moving on is a very hard thing to do... because I just can't seem to do it. No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to move on. And every night as I go to sleep next to my husband, I can't seem to forget, forget my past... which I am trying so hard to forget. To shake from my mind. I can't forget who I was, who I am supposed to be. But, I now hide under my new name as Buffy Matthews.

I try to forget that I know what goes bump in the night. And that I'm supposed to fight it. And sometimes it almost works. But, it never fully does. I left Sunnydale, went to San Francisco to start over and leave the fight of the Hellmouth to Faith.

That was six years ago and I haven't been back since. I wonder what became of the others, I know Willow joined a coven in Europe and Xander is working on an oil rig outside of Tucson some where. But of the others I have no clue.

"Buffy are you still awake?" Jason asks me

"I can't sleep." I remark, sitting up "I've been thinking to much."

"What about?"

"It's personal." I replied, sliding out of bed and listening to him, return to gentle snoring.

The night world seems different than the day. I sorta miss traveling every night in it. Being part of that world, I miss the danger and adventure of it. But I can't ... I can't afford for a vamp or a demon to recognize me. Especially with the baby on the way.

She began to kick. Well, I wasn't sure if it was a girl or a boy but something just kept telling me it's a girl. I'm not sure why. I glance back at Jason, and wonder what will he think when I tell him. Tell him that his baby isn't exactly his...

My stake was gripped tightly in my hand as I patrolled the small graveyards. I had staked five vamps in two nights and hadn't come across any demons in the past month. But tonight had been a slow day. I lost a vampire nest that I had been tracking for the past week and a half and was pretty upset about it. So, I decided to visit a friend.

Angel was on my front lawn. He was smiling up at me.

"Hi." I mouthed

"Hey." He mouthed

I placed my hand on my belly. He smiled. He then gestured for me to come outside to him. I nodded, grabbed my shawl and walked down stairs.

"Hi." He whispered to me

"How are you?" I asked

"I'm fine, and you?"

"Good."

"How's..."

"She's fine ... 'Daddy'." I joked

"You haven't..."

"Told Jason. I was hoping I wouldn't have to..."

He raised his eyebrow. But none the less didn't say anything. He placed his hand on my stomach.

"She?"

"Just a feeling." I whispered.

"When are you going to know for sure?"

"A few days." I replied

He looked up at me.

"So how have you been?" He asked me "You seem tired."

"You wanna come in... this'll take a few hours."

He laughed.

"It'll probably be best if I don't."

"Probably."

He looked around and pulled his hands off of my belly.

"So are we still on for tomorrow?' I asked

We were just going to go out, shopping, see a movie, buy baby clothes.

"Of course. I'd better go, do another sweep."

"How's everything going? With business and slaying and stuff?"

"Good. You'll find that a lot of my business portrays to slaying... so it balances out."

"Oh. Good."

He gave me a quick yet passionate kiss.

"Bye."

And he left almost a suddenly as he had came. I must've been standing in the doorway for a while because Jason came downstairs, worried about me.

"Where have you been?" He asked

"Right here." I replied

"You should be in bed."

"I know. I was just... getting some fresh air."

"You sure..."

"I'm fine."

I glanced down the empty street. Jason wrapped his arms around my waist.

"How's my baby?" He asked

"Which? Me or the baby?"

"The baby."

"She's fine."

"Or he is fine."

I rolled my eyes.

"Has it been kicking a lot still?"

"Uh huh." I replied, still looking down the empty street

"God, I just can't wait until it gets here, I wanna be able to hold it in my arms and I wanna tell it that I'm Daddy."

I did a mock smile, wondering where her real Daddy was.
