"Tom, you better go get some sleep. You have that test on Friday and right
now, you couldn't tell the difference from Hola and Adios. Go on I'll watch
your mom." Connor said looking over at his cousin falling asleep in her
chair.
"I can't dad might be back any minute and I want to be here for them." Tomorrow said stifling a yawn.
"You said that five hours ago. Go to sleep. I promise to wake you when your dad comes back."
"You promise"
"Go on"
"All right, Night" she gave in as she headed towards her room.
"Where have you been" asked Max.
"Max, how did you get in? Through my open window, stupid question. Why did you get in?" Tomorrow asked.
"You hadn't called and I was worried after you bailed on lunch."
"I've been taking care of my mom she's sick"
"Tom, Your Dad's home" Connor cried from the other room.
"Taking care of your mom huh well you better hurry cause she's starting to sound a lot like Connor." He sneered as he climbed out the back window.
"Max" she screamed after him. "Oh god why does my life always have to be as messed up as hers. Mom" she bolted out of the room just in time to meet her dad in the hall.
They entered together. The antidote was gently forced down Buffy's throat and Spike said, "Now the only thing to do is wait to see if it works. You kids can go to bed. There's nothing more we can do tonight."
"You sure dad?" Tomorrow asked now wide-awake.
"Yeah Pet, but show Connor out before you go to bed. I want to stay with mom."
"Tom, I know this might not be the right time to say this, but Max." Connor began and then he saw her face. "Is going to whip your ass on that Spanish final."
She laughed. "Connor of all my problems right now. Spanish is at the bottom of my list and I appreciate you giving me some perspective. I mean mom and Dru I can't do anything about, but a Spanish final, now that I can excel at. You're the best cousin a girl could have. I'll see you for patrol tomorrow after I've had a full day of studying and worrying and if we see Dru I don't care if she sired my dad she's dust."
