Mom waited until Joy and Dawn were sound asleep in the back seat to talk.

"Why didn't you tell me Buffy?" She asks.

"There was no need to tell you mom. Dad promised me he'd take care of her," I answer.

"I understand that your father was taking care of her, but still you could have told me."

"I didn't want you to be disappointed, which really makes a lot of sense, considering I'm a disappointment anyway," I mumble.

"Buffy you are not a disappointment!"

"How can you say that with a serious face mom?" My voice is rising and I can't help it.

"I can say that with a serious face because it's true. You aren't a disappointment," She says again.

"How can you say that? I'm not even 21 yet and I have two children, one of which I never told you about until yesterday and another one that I don't even remember getting pregnant with. I define disappointment," I finish, with my voice rising.

"I can say that because I love you Buffy. I don't care about Liam and Joy; I'm just a little upset that you didn't think you could tell me about her."

"I'm gonna stay with dad for a couple of weeks just until he gets better," I say after moments of silence.

"Are you guys gonna be okay?"

"The four of us will be fine," I say.

"The four of you?" She asks.

"Dad, Joy, Liam and I will be fine," I answer.

Mom looks as though she is about to say something but I cut her off.

"I can take care of them," I say in reply to her unasked question.

"I didn't say that you couldn't now did I?"

"No you didn't say it you implied it."

"Buffy, I'm not gonna argue with you," She said knowing that it was a lose, lose situation.

"Good," I mumble.

We arrive at Willow and Tara's dorm room without any more conversation. I go get my little guy from Willow. Liam loves her and she loves him. He was sad to go.

"I'm gonna miss my little boyfriend," Willow said. "Two entire weeks without him," she cries.

"What about your girlfriend Willow?" Tara asks sadly and with a cute little pout.

"She's okay, but I'm gonna miss my Liam," Willow said as she glanced at Tara.

"You are so mean to your girlfriend Wils," I say to her as I look at Tara's cute pout.

"I know," Willow whispers.

"Well if you don't want her, I could take her off your hands," I tease. I grab Tara into my arms and place a soft kiss on her lips. She turns beat red.

"Who do you think you are? Going around kissing my girlfriend," Willow says angrily.

"I was kidding Willow. I'm sorry Tara, I didn't mean to do that, but you're so cute when you blush," I whisper.

"Stop hitting on my girlfriend!" Willow exclaimed.

"Hey! I was kidding and you should be a little bit nicer to Tara, and stop hitting on my son!" I finish.

Willow goes all quiet and blushes. She feels a little guilty for being a poopy head.

"Thanks for taking care of Liam for me," I say before walking out, leaving the two of them alone.

"What took so long Buffy?" Mom asks when I get back in the car.

"Willow won't stop hitting on my son!" I answer. Mom just laughs. "And I was accused of hitting on Tara," I finish. Mom laughs even harder.

We're off back to LA. Liam is in his seat and Dawn and Joy are still sound asleep. Mom and I are silent most of the way and I doze off not to be woken until we're getting off of the highway.

"You're awake?" Mom asks.

"Yeah, I'm awake," I reply.

"Is there anything you're gonna need while you're staying with your dad?" She asks. I think about it for a few minutes before I answer.

"Um dad's gonna be in the hospital for a few more days, could you take us home when he gets out?" I ask.

"Of course," She says.

"Thanks," I yawn.

"Are you gonna visit your father or go back to the house?"

"I'll go to the house. I'm gonna have to call and see if I can get the windows replaced, which is definitely going to involve many phone calls," I mumble.

"I'll take care of it Buffy, I've made the phone calls before," she says.

"God, how many times have the windows gotten crashed in?" I ask.

"Too many," She answers.

We arrive and I wake Dawn and Joy and I take Liam out of the car. The sun is just making its lovely way out from behind the clouds. It is at least 4 in the afternoon. I walk to the door and open it. I had left it unlocked but if anyone had wanted to come in they would have tried the windows so there was no point in locking the door.

I bring Joy and Liam both in and take them upstairs. I lay them down on Joy's bed. Joy will look out for her baby brother so I know I can leave them. I kiss their foreheads before closing the door slightly and walking out.

Mom and a now very awake Dawn are in the doorway. I hand Mom the phone and she begins to make the phone calls. Dawn helps me in cleaning up the shards of glass from the windows without protest.

Within two hours mom had some how managed to get new windows. I have no idea how she did it but we had new windows by 6:30. Dawn and I had cleaned up every little piece of glass that had been on the floor. I let mom go with Dawn back home telling her that I'd call when dad was getting out of the hospital.

The next few days Liam, Joy and I went to visit dad in the hospital, and we'd lie around sleeping when we weren't visiting him. I had called mom to tell her that dad was being released tomorrow morning.

I had promised Joy that we'd go get ice cream that night when we went out for a walk after she'd bugged me for the entire day. We had taken a long walk around the city and Joy kept telling me she wanted ice cream every five seconds, when I saw him and he saw me.

"Buffy?" Angel asked when he saw her.

"Yeah," I whisper.

"I didn't know you had kids," He said.
