Summary: Buffy gets a call the day after graduation. Faith's pregnant. Let the fun times roll as Buffy gets stuck with baby responsibilities eight months later. Wonder how Faith's going to take this?

A/N: Bleh, I'm a pretty crappy author. I had this idea a while ago and wrote it, most likely it'll get maybe five chapters at the most before it's forgotten, although I will try hard to actually complete something. Thanks to Dana Poole Rules for the reviews, they spurred me into action.

Prologue: Wha?

"What do you mean 'she's pregnant'!" Buffy screamed not fully understanding. The doctor, fearful of the angry young woman in front of him hurriedly tried to explain.

"Yes well… when a man and a woman… love each other… well…"

Buffy cut him off, "Don't patronize me. How is it that… that bitch in coma, the one in shape and slim, if you haven't noticed, is pregnant?"

The doctor either didn't hear or ignored the young woman's cursing. "Oh sorry, well it really is a miracle that the child even survived. It seems she's not far a long, explaining why there would be no signs…"

"Oh…" The blonde didn't know what to say. Being called to the hospital was frankly a shock to her. It had been only had only been yesterday when she'd defeated the mayor and the fight with her sister slayer was still in her mind. She wondered why she had been called in the first place though at the time had just ignored it. Now seemed a good as time as any to find out. "Why'd you call me?"

"The patient didn't have anything on her, but a wallet. We assumed her identity could be explained by it, but it seems she mistakenly had yours. We called you in hopes that you could tell us who she is. How'd she get such a wound?"

'Mistakenly. And I'm a vampire. That thief probably grabbed it off me!' Her frown deepened with his words and her thoughts. She could tell the truth that the brunette lying in coma was a murder or… "I… uh… she did it to herself. I mean I knew she was upset, but I never though she would try suicide to run away from it." 'Ok, question, why didn't I tell the truth? She deserves to rot in coma and then in prison! But a baby…' She was going to finish answering his questions, but he interrupted before she could finish.

"Ah… yes, that would explain the cuts on the arms. I had thought they were from a fight, but it was obviously from self mutilation. Poor girl… at least she has a friend to go to."

'Self mutilation? Is this what an evil badass does in her free time? Who would have that… wait friend? No, no, no!'

The doctor mistook the look on her face as being upset about the cutting and went on to say. "The patient has many, though don't feel bad. When someone's done it as long as she seemingly has, they get skilled at hiding it. Now what did you say her name was again?"

"Faith… Faith uh… I don't know her last name..." Buffy said in somewhat of a daze. She didn't bother to listen to the doctor calling after her as she left. Everything just wasn't right. The rogue cut herself? She had to have done it before she was a slayer. From what the doctor had said Faith had a lot of scars… something being a slayer would have prevented.

The Chosen One really shouldn't care. It shouldn't make a difference that her enemy had mutilated herself. It shouldn't make a different that her enemy was lying in coma. It shouldn't make a different that her enemy was pregnant. It shouldn't make a difference that her enemy was her slaying sister, that her enemy had been her friend.

It shouldn't make a difference, but it did.
