I would like to state I do not own either Haven or Buffy the Vampire Slayer

A different kind of Haven

Summary: As Buffy is standing on the bus terminal, she is looking at her future destinations. She sees a place that makes her think it will be a nice calm, peaceful place to settle in. None other than Haven, Maine.

Previously: "I am sorry, but I fail to see how a man that pretty much abandoned Buffy would be useful in the search to find her." Giles stated rather sharply.

"I am not talking about Hank, I am talking about her biological father." Joyce finished with firmly shocking every last person in the library.

A/N: This is my first story and I am looking for any type of feedback. Please let me know if you like the story. On with the show.

Chapter 11

Back in Haven

"Garland, I am pleased to tell you that there is a 99.9% chance that Elizabeth here is your daughter. Congratulations, It is a girl." Eleanor said with a hint of amusement behind it.

Once the bomb was dropped, the awaiting responses were almost the same, but different at the same time.

Garland was beyond ecstatic. His smile just grew until it looked as though it would break his face. Just pure joy.

Nathan was a silent yet sensitive happy man. He too began to smile, but it was a soft smile. He was beyond happy that he had a sister. He hated being an only child. He was happy that his family was becoming just that...a family.

Everyone looked at Buffy for her response. Nobody knew exactly how she would react. They didn't need to fear though. Buffy began to smile. She too were beyond happy. For so many reasons. One: She no longer had to be forced to see Hank. And reason two: Buffy wanted to be wanted. Plain and simple. At this thought, Buffy began to cry.

When Garland noticed the tears Buffy's eyes made, he swept her up into a giant hug not letting her go.

"I am so happy that you are my daughter. No, wait I take that back. I am so much more than just happy. I am so glad that you are alive." Garland said.

"I have a sister. I may have only been four when we thought you had died, but I am so glad that you are not dead. Now can I do all the big brother things to you I have missed out on. Mainly at this point threaten all your future boyfriends or any male suitors. Starting with Duke." Nathan said as he joined the hug to break the odd tension in the room.

At that statement everyone began to laugh. That is until Nathan continued on.

"I am being serious Elizabeth. I noticed from the minute you two met at the bus doors that there was sparks between the two of you. Also, I have been noticing the looks that you have both been giving out to each other. I am not a cop just for the fun of it sis." Nathan finished with a little nickname.

At the end of Nathan's speech, Buffy was trying to glare at her brother. However it was seriously not having the full effect with all the pesky blush that was forming on her face. Buffy was trying to hide her reaction, but was finding it difficult to do so.

"I am not in the right place to start a relationship right now. I just got out of a bad one, a really bad one like he died and everything. I have no clue as to whatever this is you are talking about right now." Buffy said to end the staring.

"Well, I guess it is time to take you to where you will be staying at." Garland states as he gets up from the chair he was sitting in.

"That also means that I should get back to work. Let me know if any of you need anything at all." Eleanor said as they all headed to the door.

"Thank you doc for everything." Buffy stated.

"Will do El. Thank you for this. We will talk later." Garland said as his hand was grabbed by Buffy at the same time Nathan's hand was also grabbed.

The two men were pulled to the door and made to leave, being left with a chuckling doctor in the office.

The trio made their way to the elevator to head back to the main floor.

Once they were outside Garland breaks the silence.

"I think you should call your mom soon. I am sure that she is very worried about you." Garland said, and continued fast when he noticed Buffy was going to object. "Even if the last things were said to each other was negative. I am sure she just need time to adjust to whatever you had said to her. Just like Dr. Carr suggested at lunch." Garland finished.

"Well, I guess when you go and use logic like that. How about we agree that I will call her tomorrow. Will that work for you? That way I can think of what to say to her, and what not." Buffy finished.

"OK, That will work with me. Nathan will pick you up and bring you to the station. That way you don't have to pay the long distance charges. Let's get to the car." Garland finishes.

"Or we could just have her new boyfriend Duke give her a ride. I am sure that he wouldn't mind at all." Nathan said.

"Oh Nathan! Shut the hell up!" Buffy exclaims, and then continues. "Nathan! Guess what?" Buffy asks.

"Language Elizabeth!" Garland shouted at the same time Nathan responds.

"What?" Nathan responds.

"Shotgun!" Buffy shouts with a laugh as she ran ahead of the guys to the car to get in the front.

All Nathan did was let out a chuckle and rolled his eyes.

Meanwhile, Garland was laughing at his daughter's antics.

'I still can not believe that this is my little girl' Garland thought to himself with a smile on his face.

Once they were all in the car, Garland pulled the car out of the parking spot and pulled out of the parking lot. After leaving the hospital, they were on their way to Duke's to get Buffy settled.

Out of the blue Buffy began to ask her new family questions that threw them for a loop.

"So, How many cemeteries does Haven have?" Buffy asked

"Why do you want to know?" Garland countered back.

"Well, I like to walk around them. The silence is really peaceful, and I like the old tombstones." Buffy answered with another edited version while thinking to herself, 'It's not like I can tell you that I need to know for killing vamps and other nasties' Buffy thought with a chuckle.

"We have two cemeteries here." Nathan said

"What about churches? How many are there here?" Buffy asked again.

"There is only one church here." Nathan answered again.

"Did you know that in my old town, we had 18 cemeteries and 43 churches." Buffy said to no one particular.

"Why that many?" Garland asks this time.

"Because the town is evil. Overrun by the gangs and just very violent and evil. People pray more because they have no idea when they will die." Buffy finished, sounding really sad in the process.

"Well, there are no gangs here. On PCP or otherwise. So you don't need to worry." Garland said.

"Don't people know that PCP is so 80's" Nathan said, which made the whole car break out in laughter.

As they pulled up to the Gull, they tried to hone in their laughs.

Duke was sitting on the steps that led up to the apartment. He stood up once they got out of the car.

"Hey Duke! How have you been?" Buffy asked as she walked up to him giving him one of her thousand watt smiles.

All Nathan could think was 'Yeah, she has no feelings for him at all.'

"I've been OK for the last couple hours I guess. I've been busy. I got the lights and heat on for you. I also took all of your bags up for you. Well, all of them but the one at the bottom of the steps. I couldn't lift it. How in the hell could you lift it? How about you, Are you doing alright?" Duke asked back.

"Oh, you know how it goes. Girl leaves home, and meets two strangers on a bus. Then one of the stranger winds up being a biological brother to said girl. Then strange brother introduces the girl to her biological father. With whom she had no idea even existed." Buffy said excitedly.

"So, if I am following correctly, the tests came back positive then?" Duke asked while laughing at her response.

"Yepp!" Buffy exclaimed happily popping the 'p'.

Buffy has barely stopped smiling since she has heard the results.

By this time Nathan and Garland has joined the pair by the steps.

"Well Elizabeth, are you ready to see the place?" Duke asked

"Of course I am. This is so awesome! Do I need to have permission to make two extra keys for my dad and brother? I mean only to use in an EMERGENCY ONLY ?" Buffy asked, all the while sending a fierce glare to the two it's concerning. Duke could only respond with a nod and a laugh.
