"Okay," Buffy said, putting the pone down. "Mom said it was fine for tonight."

"Super," Giles said.

He was still holding little Wesley, who was looking round the room.

"Wesley, you're going to go home with Buffy tonight, okay?" Giles continued.

Wesley just stared at Buffy, Giles passed him over to her and Buffy held him at arms length.

"Hi, I'm Buffy and you are coming to my place," she said nicely to Wesley, and he smiled back.

"See ya kiddo," Xander said waving as Buffy was leaving.

"Bye Mr Guiles," Wesley said politely.

"Good lord," Giles frowned. "He can't even pronounce my name."

"Aww, give him a break," Cordy said with a rare smile. "He's only a little kid. I'm going home, good night."

&&&&&&&&&

"Mom," Buffy yelled. "I'm back with and I've got Wesley."

"Hello Buffy. And you Mr, you must be Wesley," Joyce exclaimed, giving a smile only a mother could do.

Wesley clung to Buffy's jumper and buried his face in her.

"He's kinda shy, I guess," Buffy said, taking him upstairs to the spare room.

"You will stay up here with me, okay? And, well do something" she said.

He nodded and sat down next to her.

&&&&&&&&&

"Good evening Joyce," Angel greeted politely. "Is Buffy in?"

"Yes, I'll go get her," she said walking up the stairs.

She found Buffy still sitting with Wesley and Wesley was playing with Mr Gordo.

"Buffy, Angel wants to see you."

Buffy looked at Wesley, then looked back at her mom.

"Can you send him up please?" Buffy asked Joyce.

Joyce went downstairs to see Angel admiring a painting on the wall in the hallway. As she was heading to the kitchen, she called over her shoulder to Angel.

"Buffy wants you to go upstairs," she said.

Angel walked up stair peering round the corner to see Buffy with a kid.

"Hi Buffy, who's the kid?" Angel asked curiously.

"You remember when we had Balthazar's amulet and that annoying pillock who had it? Well, he was turned into a kid by Willow and i have to look after him and we're bored, right Wes," she said Wesley nodded.

"Oh well, I guess you won't be patrolling," he said.

"Nope, Faith is patrolling so that means you have to help me baby-sit," Buffy said, smiling.

"What do you think Wes?" she asked him.

"He looks funny," Wesley smiled innocently.

Angel looked down at himself and frowned.

"Buffy, do I really look weird?" he asked.

Buffy burst out laughing as Angel glared at Wesley.
