Author's Notes: This is the last chapter…plus I will add a little epilogue at the end of it to get a sense of the future.
Chapter Six
Things around the house seemed to be fine in Buffy and Faith's world. Their friends knew about the starting of their relationship and no one seemed to be disapproving to them which they greatly appreciated. It was Christmas Eve and for the first time everyone believed it was going to be a great one.
Faith wakes up to a warm body that is halfway on top of her. Buffy's head is lying on her chest and her arm is draped across Faith's waist. Plus Buffy's leg is thrown over Faith's and there is a strong hold on her. Faith looks at Buffy and chuckles. She kisses Buffy's head and looks at the ceiling while her thoughts took up the time.
I never thought that I would get to call Buffy Anne Summers, my girlfriend. Now that I do I feel like I'm on top of the world. She's turning me into a sap, but I love this feeling.
Things with Nathan went surprisingly well and I believe we can still be friends. I hope so because he's a great guy that deserves someone. He'll make a great husband one day, just not mine.
A few years ago someone asked me if I could picture myself settled down and be a wife and mother. I laughed it off, but now I feel like it could happen as long as it's with the right person and as long as that person is Buffy. I don't know what her take on kids and marriage is, but I tend to find out.
This is the best Christmas that I have ever had. Buffy is lying in my arms, snoring softly which makes me smile greatly. I love her with every fiber of my being and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Buffy wakes up and smiles against Faith. She looks up at Faith and kisses her softly.
"Mornin' B."
"Good morning."
"How'd you sleep?"
"Best sleep I've had in my life."
Faith smiles.
"Me too."
"How do you want to spend out first Christmas as a couple together?" Buffy asks as she sits up in the bed.
"I want to spend it with you in my arms."
"Aren't you the charmer?" Buffy says with a smirk.
"I gots mad skills yo," Faith says with a laugh.
"I'd love to do that to baby, but at some point we have to make an appearance."
Faith sighs and nods her head.
"We go down for some Scooby time and spent the rest of it up here just the two of us," Faith states adamantly.
"Perfect."
Buffy gets up from the bed and goes to her dresser to pull out new clothing while Faith retreats to her bedroom to do the same.
Once the girls got dressed they headed downstairs where everyone was already there.
"Good afternoon ladies. About time you join us," Xander says with a smile.
"Hey," Buffy says as she sits down on Faith's lap.
Dawn looks at them and rolls her eyes.
"Could you guys be more obvious?" Dawn asks sarcastically.
"Yeah, I could. I mean I could take B here on the couch," Faith says as she raises her eyebrows suggestively.
"Gross," Dawn murmurs.
Buffy hits Faith's shoulder and leans into Faith's ear.
"The only place you are taking me is in my bed tonight."
Faith closes her eyes and fights back a moan. Kennedy looks up from her book and smirks. Sometimes you gotta love Slayer hearing.
As the night wore on the Scooby-gang drank eggnog, played games, ate dinner and opened presents. Once midnight was reached everyone decided to head to bed.
Faith and Buffy walk into Buffy's room.
"I gotta say B. This night was great," Faith says with a smile.
Buffy walks over to Faith and puts her arms around Faith's neck.
"Do you know what would make it even better?" Buffy whispers in Faith's ear.
"No."
"If you make love to me, Buffy whispers before gently sucking on Faith's earlobe. Faith moans out and starts kissing Buffy.
Soon both girls are lying on the bed naked, sore and spent. Their limbs are tangled in the sweat coated linens; Buffy turns her head and looks at Faith.
"Promise me something."
"Promise you what?" Faith asks with a smile.
"Promise me that you'll stay with me forever. Promise me that we'll grow old together and love each other for eternity. Promise me that we'll have a family."
Faith kisses Buffy softly on the lips.
"Buffy Summers, I promise you with all my heart that I will love you forever. I promise we will grow old together and have a family together. I promise eternity with you."
Faith wipes the tears from Buffy's eyes.
"Faith Lehane, what have you done to me?" Buffy says with a chuckle.
Faith shrugs her shoulders.
"Love you like no other."
Buffy looks at Faith and smiles.
"I love you Faith."
"I love you, too, Buffy."
EPILOGUE: 15 Years Later
It has been 15 years since Buffy and Faith first got together and until this day they still are. Faith's questions were answered and now "Fuffy," as dubbed by Xander are celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary this Christmas. It only took a year and a very nervous Faith to propose to Buffy a year after being together. Buffy accepted and a year later, around Christmas, they wed.
Then 9 months later because of a miss used spell, Buffy and Faith became proud parents to a little girl with brown hair and blue eyes. They named her Bridget Joyce Lehane. Her nickname, Little B. There is only one guess on who thought of that. During the pregnancy, Buffy complained a lot on how everything happened to her, but when she felt her and Faith's baby kick, that made it worth it.
During the 15 years, Bridget developed her mom's pout and her ma's attitude.
After the original break-ups, Clay and Nathan eventually moved on and fell in love. Clay married his one night stand, Satsu after 5 years of dating and Nathan fell for his childhood friend Jenna. Eventually, Clay and Nathan become friends with Buffy and Faith again and Nathan accepted the honorable role of being Bridget's godfather.
Dawn moved to Italy and comes to visit her family as much as she can.
Willow and Kennedy broke up, but they remain friends. Willow found love in the form of a local practicing witch. They have been together for 10 years and have been married for 5.
Xander himself got married and has a 7 year old son.
Giles passed away a few months after Bridget's 11th birthday. It took awhile for everyone to heal and understand that sometimes supernatural forces aren't always to blame.
Bridget is sitting at the table with a book, paper and a pencil. She is doing the homework that was assigned over the break while her mom put groceries away.
"How's the work coming, sweetie?" Buffy says with a smirk.
Bridget looks up at her mother and glares. Buffy raises an eyebrow.
"Don't look at me like that Bridget. It's your fault that you didn't do the work that was supposed to be done before your long glorious break. Now you're stuck doing it now."
Bridget sighs and goes back to her work. Faith walks into the kitchen and smiles at her two girls. Faith kisses Bridget's head and leans over to see Bridget's work.
"You have to get x by itself, little B."
Bridget smiles at her ma and starts to work through the last problem.
Faith smiles and walks over to her wife.
"Nathan's coming for a little bit before he goes to his in-laws."
Buffy nods her head and leans it on Faith's shoulder.
"He's the only one we are seeing this year. It's so sad."
"I know B, but you said they're coming for New Years."
"Yep."
Faith whispers in Buffy's ear.
"I missed you today."
"I missed you too, baby."
Buffy leans up and kisses Faith. Shortly their tongues are in battle. Bridget looks up when she hears moans coming from her parents.
"Oh my god. You two break apart, right now."
Buffy and Faith pull apart and look at each other.
They walk towards their daughter who starts to look frightened. Before Bridget can do anything both Buffy and Faith run over to their daughter and start laying kisses all over her face.
"Stop…it…stop," Bridget gets out between laughs.
Faith and Buffy stop laughing and pull away from their daughter.
"Bridget, head up and go take a shower before your uncle Nathan comes and we'll settle into the living room for our traditional story." Buffy says.
"As long as I don't have to work it's cool," Bridget says as she jumps up from the chair and runs upstairs.
"Is anybody home," a voice calls out from the front door.
Buffy and Faith walk to the front door and smile when Nathan walks through the door.
"Hey Nate," Faith says before hugging him.
"Faith, Buffy."
"Hey."
"Where's Bridget?"
"She'll be down in a few. We should head to the living room though. Nathan, do you want anything to drink?" Buffy asks once they sit in the living room.
"Um, no thanks. I can't stay that long anyway."
Bridget runs into the room and quickly hugs Nathan.
"Uncle Nathan!"
"Hey Bridget," Nathan says with a laugh.
Buffy claps her hands.
"Alright, story time," Buffy looks at her wife, "baby, is it your turn or mine?"
"My turn."
Bridget walks over to the couch and puts her feet over Buffy's legs and lays her head in Faith's lap. Faith plays with Bridget's hair.
"What's the name of the story ma?" Bridget asks.
Faith looks at Nathan and then to her wife. She smiles down at her daughter.
"It's called Complicated Love."
