I still dunno when this fic is exactly set and I don't want to give it a cannon timeline point but since s5 just started here I might be incorporating Dawn.
Summery - Buffy and Faith have to deals with their parents.
Hush little baby don't say a word, daddy's gonna buy you a mocking bird and if that mocking bird don't sing, daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring and if that ring turns to brass daddy's gonna buy you a looking glass and if that looking glass gets broke daddy's gonna buy you a billy goat and if that billy goat runs away daddy's gonna buy you another today.
Buffy looked between her mother and her girlfriend as an uncomfortable silence fell
over the dinner table 'great and she doesn't even know were together'
"So, Faith how's work going" Joyce asked trying to make polite conversation with the
girl who had tied her up and hurt her daughter terribly.
"It's really good thank you Mrs Summers. I'm also working towards my high school
diploma and Matthew has given me a job so If I work hard I can go great places and I
plan to work hard"
Joyce smiled slightly and nodded at Faith "How long have you been in sunnydale then"
Faith cast a glance at Buffy knowing that Joyce wouldn't be very happy knowing how
long she'd really been around and what had happened "Since I got out of Jail" Faith
replied hoping to avoid confrontation.
"How long has it been" Joyce asked not letting it drop
"So mum how's the gallery going?" Buffy asked trying to change the conversation but
Joyce ignored her and watched Faith
"About a month I guess, maybe longer" Faith admitted
Joyce turned to her daughter "Why didn't you tell me"
"I didn't want to worry, you it wasn't important, she's all good again mum if she was a
threat I would have told you"
Joyce sighed "I just feel so out of your life lately Buffy"
"I know, and I'm sorry"
Joyce looked over at Faith and her empty plate "Would you like seconds Faith?" She
asked
"Yes please" Faith replied as she grinned at the prospect of more food.
Buffy and Faith walked hand in hand through a cemetery on their way back from
dinner
"That was fun" Faith said sincerely
"you think?" Buffy asked
"Yea, your mums really nice and she seems to have forgiven me and all, she trusts your
judgement. You lucky to have her" Faith said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
Buffy
smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulder "I must be blessed, I have a great
mum and a great girlfriend"
"Not to mention great friends" Willow said as she and Xander walked over to them
"Who were of doing a patrol for the absent slayers"
Buffy smiled broadly at her friends "Yes and great friends"
Faith looked down at her girlfriend, her light. Everything in her life was good, she had a home a family and someone she could truly love and who truly loved her back, but she knew it wouldn't last nothing lasted, and something was coming for her soon, to claim her soul and pull her down. She brushed a strand of hair away from the sleeping slayers face and sighed. "I love you Buffy" She whispered before closing her eyes to go to sleep.
A vampire tightend the strap on the huge bulky metallic vest he was wearing. "I don't
get it boss, it looks so ugly"
"It's to steal the slayers spark"
"It didn't work for the boss"
"Because the boss didn't know the slayer"
"And besides the slayer is impossible to kill"
"The first is, get the second alone and vulnerable and she'll welcome death, and I can
make her feel more alone than ever"
"How's that?"
"You'll see"
The other vampires left the room and their leader sat alone smiling "Soon Faithy,
daddy's coming home."
