Dawn and Anne had been comfortably laughing over popcorn and movies when Buffy came storming in.
"Why didn't you correct Xander when he told me Angel was your grandfather?" Buffy snapped at the teen on the couch.
"But he is my grandfather. Connor was my dad just as much as Tomorrow was my mom. I just didn't want you to hear about Darla. I thought you might do something crazy before it's time for my dad to be born. You kill Darla, you kill me. Even if my dad was born, Angel would probably never come back to Sunnydale to raise his son knowing you didn't approve."
"Any other surprises in the future I should know about?" Buffy sighed sitting in a chair.
"Well some of the marriages and children may surprise you, but we all still fight the fight. Slayers, Vampires, Witches, Humans it doesn't matter."
"Witches, so does that mean Willow and Tara adopt?" Dawn asked anxiously.
Instead of answering Anne went pale. "What's today's date?"
"January 23." Dawn stared at her.
"Three months," Anne sighed. Then she noticed the two people staring at her. "Faith and Riley had a daughter named Jessica."
"Riley shows up and gets with Faith?" Dawn gasped in shock.
"Yeah my Uncle Brian, Jessica, and Willow's daughter Violet are the next generation of Scoobies. My parents stayed in LA a lot, but we tried to come back for visits. Vacations just tend to fall during apocalypses."
"Uncle Brain?" Buffy asked, "Does that mean Angel has two children?"
"Yeah, but Uncle Brian's only a couple of years older than me and so far has shown no signs of having any power what so ever, but then my dad didn't either until he was turned. My parents always joked about it, but I'm sure at the time getting turned was really scary. They just didn't have a choice. I wonder sometimes how much control over our life we really have."
"Anne, I have a surprise for you." Buffy looked at the solemn girl. "Tomorrow, I'm letting you and Dawn go on an adventure you'll never forget."
