Discalimer- Buffy and Angel belong to the amazing Joss Whedon.
Chapter 2- Giles
'Father, protector, betrayer, watcher…. He became my father not by blood but of my heart, I thought him the one I could always trust and count on, I was wrong he's human, he makes mistakes. Some of those mistakes make life better, it's a mistake for a watcher to love his slayer as a daughter, but that love gave me strength, a place to turn, a father when my own decided I wasn't worth the trouble. Some mistakes damaged our love, he doesn't know but I forgave him the second he did what had to be done, what I couldn't. He made it so I didn't have to become a murderer, thank you. I love you Rupert Giles, my father, my watcher, my friend; there is nothing left to forgive. Vacation in the land of tweed, but come home the Scoobies still need their dad.'
Buffy stares as Giles explores the new exhibit at the British Museum. A sadness in his eyes lifts only when a group of teenagers are yelled at for being to loud.
"It'll take time but he'll get through it; only when he goes home will he find peace, silly librarian, home is no longer land of tea and tweed."
A smirk crossed Buffy's face thinking of all the glasses cleaning Giles will do when he realizes he's become American, a Californian at that.
