Faith Lehane stared in disbelief. Never in all her life as a Vampire Slayer had she ever seen something quite this scary. She'd faced demons, uber-vamps, apocalypses, and dangerous harden convicts. Well actually she was a dangerous harden convict too.
"Hey Faith, I need your opinion," Robin Wood opened the door to walk into the bathroom shattering Faith's thought process. On instinct she quickly dropped what she was holding into the open drawer in front of her.
"Yeah lover," Faith turned around to face him.
"Which tie?" He smiled holding up one blue and one brown tie.
"What about the gray striped one?"
"That's why I love you" Robin kissed her and left the bathroom to find the tie and head to his new teaching job at Cleveland Central High School. "I'll have some papers to grade after school so Rona and I will be home around six, so we can patrol."
"Be careful," Faith called back as she reached into the drawer and pulled the positive pregnancy test out again. "Because we weren't"

Faith knew logically that she had to tell Robin, he would start to notice when she was the size of a house, and the sooner the better. Yet she had wrestled all day with the decision. Robin was the first stable relationship she'd ever been in. He and Rona were becoming the family she'd never had growing up. He was intelligent, sensitive, sexy as hell, deadly in a fight, and could still always keep her in check with his knowledge of how to handle difficult Slayers. If any guy in the world would be there for her through unplanned parenthood, it was him. Plus he would understand better than anyone the difficulty surrounding a Slayer pregnancy. Hell according to Giles and the Council records he was the only person that had ever been born from a Slayer. She had to tell him, he deserved to know.
"Hey, sorry we're late." Robin came through the front door. Rona followed behind carrying a heavy looking backpack and heading towards the kitchen table where she usually ate dinner and did part of her homework before patrol. "Finish History and I'll help you with Chemistry when we get home."
"Yes dad," Rona said sarcastically as she grabbed a can of ravioli and actually got to work on her History homework. It still amazed Faith that any child would actually go to school all day, come home and do homework with one of the teachers, and still fight the forces of evil without complaining. "Damn, Why does everything we learn have to be about the white male?" Well most of the time anyway.
"So anything exciting happen today?" Robin asked.
"Nope," Faith lied through her teeth. "Let's have dinner and talk about white male oppression."
