A/N-Another BTVS Story…hope you like it.

Buffy Summers-Lehane walked into her daughter, Sara's room.

"Babe, do you have your stuff? We need to go."

Sara looked up at her mom and smiled.

"I'm ready, but I don't see why we have to spend the summer in the freaking woods…that's just so not me at all," Sara complains as she grabs her bags from her bed.

"We made a promise Sara now quit complaining. We have a 2 hour drive ahead of us."

Buffy smiles at her daughter's pout.

They were on their way to the family cabin that Buffy and Faith decided to buy shortly after they retired from the slaying life, which was after they became parents 16 years ago. Sara Joyce Lehane was a gift. Of course Sara was never planned, but it didn't stop Faith and Buffy from loving her any less. Sara had brown hair with blonde highlights and dimples that matched Faith's. Buffy loved that feature on her wife of 17 years.

Sara loaded her bags into the family's Ford Explorer and hopped into the front seat. Buffy got in and started up the car. Over the years Buffy's driving increased and she became better at it. Faith definitely made sure of that.

"Mom, explain to me again why Ma wants us all the way out in the middle of nowhere."

"Sara, sweetie, you really have to let it go. Faith wanted to spend time with her family."

Sara takes a deep breath.

"Is she trying to make up for what she never got as a kid?" Sara asks as she looks at her mother.

"That's part of it and the other part is that she wants you to experience other things outside of the house," Buffy says with a smirk.

"I'm not outdoorsy. God this sucks."

"Quit complaining and enjoy the 2 hour ride."

Sara shook her head and looked out the window.

"I shouldn't have made that bet," Sara mumbles. Buffy hears her daughter and chuckles while keeping her eyes on the road.

*******************

2 hours later Buffy pulls up to a beautifully built cabin courtesy of Alexander Harris.

The cabin is in a secluded part of the woods situated right in front of a lake. The cabin has 2 bedrooms each with a private bath. The kitchen is spacious which pleases Faith tremendously.

Buffy looks over at her sleeping daughter and nudges her awake.

"Sar, we are here. Get up," Buffy says quietly.

Sara yawns and looks out the window.

"I want to go home," Sara pouts as she steps out of the car.

Faith walks out of the cabin when she notices her wife and daughter have arrived.

"Hey Sar. bear, there are freshly baked cookies in the cabin for ya if you want some of 'em," Faith says after she hugs her daughter.

Sara smiles at her mother and kisses her on her cheek and runs inside.

Buffy walks closer to her wife and hugs her.

"She really didn't want to come," Buffy states sadly.

"I know, but it will be good for her after everything that happened," Faith says before kissing Buffy softy on the lips.

Faith pulls away and looks at her wife.

"I figured as much, but I really want her to enjoy her summer. Her ex was an ass," Faith says with hatred.

"Oh no, you are not getting worked up again," Buffy states as she forces Faith to look in her eyes.

"How are you still not angry at him B? He almost killed her. I almost killed him," Faith says with a sigh.

"We almost lost our daughter baby, I know this. I was there, but she is fine now thank god and that bastard is in jail where he belongs. Now you wanted to spend the summer out here to get away from everything and that is what we are going to do. I want some cookies."

Faith laughs as she grabs her family's bags.

"Always hungry aren't you B?"

"Only hungry for you, baby? Only for you," Buffy says with a wink.
