It was the sound of a single gentle wail that cause Faith's eyes to snap open. Instantly she began to detangle herself from the demon in her bed, casting a loving glance to him, before grabbing her robe and padding down the hall to the nursery, and over to the matching cribs peeking down at the pair of three month old babies. Mana Elizabeth was fast asleep, her faint green fist jammed against her mouth, while her brother, Jason Arnok, stared up at the slayer as if to ask what took her so long, he was hungry now. Faith couldn't suppress the smile that crept to her face while lifting her horned son and finding her way to the honey colored rocker that Angel had purchased shortly after her and Lorne's return from New York City. Never in her wildest dreams did Faith think she'd be sitting in an apartment in a formerly evil law firm, married to a demon and tending to their twin children.
She'd never met a demon quiet like Lorne. Never had she met anyone like him come to think of it, someone so gentle, so caring, even when he'd barely known her he treated her kindly. Back through the past few years Faith let her mind wander, back to fateful night that changed her life forever.
