For centuries there had never been birth from the Slayers. They're sole purpose was to battle the forces of evil and die heroes. And if a Slayer might give birth to a child, their baby would either be killed or confiscated. But the strongest and longest living Slayer had proved legends wrong. Buffy Summers had given birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl and had even raised her daughter.
Shortly after Glory had discovered that Dawn was the Key, Buffy sent Dawn to stay with Angel in LA and had come back a month later, to check up on Dawn. Her sister had formed a bond with Cordelia and they had become close friends, despite their age difference. Angel had been investigating a demon case so Buffy had decided to help out. They had traveled through a patrol to the demon's world and Angel had emerged as a human. Before they knew what was happening, Buffy had become pregnant.
After they had come back to the city with the demon killed, everyone was informed of Buffy's condition. Wesley had checked dozens of books to make sure everything was factually true. One of the books explained everything. It had said that every few thousand years, A Slayer and a vampire with a soul would produce a child together. It also went on to explain how the portal provided Angel's humanity and other complicated things.
Now sixteen years into the future, Buffy had a daughter. Everyone still lived in Sunnydale but people and things had drastically changed. Willow and Tara were still together and were more powerful with magic. Dawn was engaged and had discovered hidden powers, which she put into use helping people. Xander and Anya were married, living together. Buffy had moved out of the big Summers's house and into a huge apartment in a downtown district where the rent was very cheap. Spike lived with Buffy and Taylor in their apartment, too. Spike's chip had gotten out but astonishingly he remained neutral.
Things got even weirder after Taylor was called to be the new slayer. The Watcher's Council in Europe had afterwards called and said that they'd like to continue Buffy's strong slayer traits and put her daughter to the test. And even though they already had a current slayer, Jackie, Buffy's daughter was still summoned. Taylor wasn't very thrilled about the prospect of getting the role. Although she did her duty, most of the time the current slaye, Jackier had to fill in her spot plus do her own share of slaying.
Taylor leaned against the wall and stared dully at the group circled around her. Taylor's mother had a close group of loyal friends, who had been with her half their lives. To her daughter, though, they were extremely boring. "I don't know one reason that all of you have to be mad at me. I did absolutely nothing wrong and here you people go, babbling to me about my horrid ways." Taylor said, angrily.
Buffy sighed deeply and glanced into Taylor's eyes. "Well, Taylor, to you it may seem as if nothing you have done is terribly wrong. But when you drop you're slaying duties, I expect a very good reason. And right now, you're not providing one for me." Buffy spoke through clenched teeth.
Willow and Tara, along with Xander and Anya were seated on the couches in the Summer's living room. Giles and Dawn perched on stools from the kitchen and Buffy had placed herself on the armrest of one of the couches. Taylor was standing in the living room doorway, where she was being badgered about her disorderliness.
"Taylor, I think you're mother is absolutely correct. How can you dismiss you're job, a job so badly needed in this town? Would you like to see your friends parents being eaten alive!" Dawn scolded harshly, her eyes demanding full attention from her victim.
Taylor suddenly couldn't tolerate anymore criticism from anyone. "If this sacred duty is so freaking important to everyone, why won't you people go out and slay?" Taylor shouted, fully enraged. Adrenaline pumped hard in her veins and her eyes sparked with sudden strength. She felt unexpectedly like throwing something and she did, without regret.
Buffy watched in horror as her daughter took a book from the bookshelf and flung it at the window. There was a sharp whack and glass scattered everywhere. Xander pulled Anya into his arms and they crouched behind the couch. Willow and Tara blocked themselves with pillows, while Giles pulled Buffy down onto the floor beside a table. Taylor wasn't lucky enough to duck from the pointed glass and got hit directly in the stomach with a huge piece. As she doubled over in pain, another horribly spiky one smashed her in the head. Others pelted her legs and arms, also.
The last thing Taylor heard was screaming and then there was darkness. But it was soothing and she slipped into its trance.
Three hours later, Buffy and the rest of the gang were seated in the local hospital. She sniffled back her tears and continued to flip through an old magazine. She recalled back the night's events, replaying them slowly in her mind. Tonight Taylor was supposed to go out on patrol but she had failed to show up. Then, Dawn had located her at her boyfriend's house and had taken her straight home. Buffy had came later, as quickly as she could from her job in a computer company.
After Buffy had turned twenty- six, her life as a Slayer ended. A new slayer named Jacqueline had taken her place and was still living. Jackie was vicious and swift when fighting, much like Faith but without the psycho attitude. The new girl was sweet, really pretty and Spike had fallen for her. But Jackie barely gave the time of day to Spike but he still acted as passionately as he could about her. Taylor had been immediately arranged to do nightly patrol with Jackie every night and the girls were friends and fellow sister slayers.
Jackie had once said that slayers never fell for vampires and everyone had become silent. She was, of course, talking about Spike's growing interest in her. Then, Taylor had told her that she was a vampire's daughter and Jackie was hushed. A month or two after Jackie's orginial Watcher died, Giles became her new Watcher and he treated her like a second daughter, after Buffy.
Spike was sitting beside Buffy on the cheap hospital couches, hiding his concern by pretending to read. It definitely wasn't working because he kept glancing at the hospital door where Taylor lay and prayed that she would come out alive. Spike had been there when Taylor had been born and all through her life. He was like a second best friend to her and inside he cared deeply for her.
