Prologue:
1
2 Buffy took one look at Xander and she couldn't help herself. She burst out laughing.
"What have you done to her Xander?"
Xander looked at Buffy sheepishly.
"She wanted them! You know I can never turn her down!" He looked down at the tiny girl in his arms, love shown all over his face.
"Okay, that explains her, though why anyone would want purple leather pants I will never know, but what about you?" She looked at Xander and burst out laughing again. Purple leather pants?
"She's 4 Buffy.She likes purple. So she choose the pants." He looked at Buffy, waiting expectantly for an answer for her second question. He grinned, embarrassed. "She wanted me to have a pair too…"
"…And you couldn't turn her down." Buffy finished for him, a giggle creeping into her voice. "Are you telling me that you walked around the mall like that for two hours?"
"Well, no. We didn't find them til just before we left, so I'd say…about half an hour." He replied, his face bright red.
"And how many people you know saw you?" She asked, giving him a cheeky look.
He groaned then looked at the tiny girl in his arms again. "Don't even go there!" He said, ruffling her hair with affection. "She wouldn't let me take them off, even after I begged and offered her ice-cream!"
Buffy grinned as the little girl drowsily tried to ruffle Xander's hair back, giggling the whole time. She took her from Xander's arms.
"Let me guess, you still got the ice-cream, right?"
The little girl giggled. "Yep!"
"You spoil her too much Xander!" Buffy scolded and turned back to face the tired but extremely happy girl in her arms.
"I can't help it! She's just too cute!" He said, grinning.
"I know." Buffy said quietly as she watched the little girl yawn. "I think it's time for bed little miss!" She couldn't help but laugh hearing the tiny little voice refusing.
"No! No it's not! I'm awake!" But even as she spoke her eyelids began to close and she yawned again.
"Say goodnight to Xander and give him a big kiss thank-you for taking you out today."
"'Night 'Ander." The toddler whispered, barely audible as she gave him a hug. "And thank-you."
Xander grinned as he cuddled her back. "You're welcome baby. Now off to bed!"
The little girl nodded as Buffy picked her up and headed up the stairs. She gave him one last wave as they turned the corner.
" 'Night…
" 'Night sweetie." He waved back and went and sat over on the lounge, waiting for Buffy to return.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Buffy placed the worn out little girl in her bed and tucked her in. She was asleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow. Buffy smiled and leaned over to kiss her forehead.
" 'Night my baby."
And, even though she slept, her daughter still answered her with a very soft, "Night mummy."
Buffy smiled and sat there for a few minutes just rubbing her small daughter's back and could hardly remember the time that she wasn't in her life. Her mind flashed back over the events of the past year and she remembered how Tiama finally came to be hers…
