AN: This is the last chapter for this story and as most of the reviews I read it will end with a plan for a sequel. Thank you for everybody that took their time to read this and review. BTVS doesn't belong to me.
The couple was still starring at the other slayer in shock unable to answer Buffy's question. The group didn't notice when another presence was in the room until the new person cleared their throat. Everybody turned to see who had entered, expecting to see a hospital employee, and shocked to see a beautiful woman.
"What are you doing here, Diana?" Buffy asked confused.
"I'm sorry for deceiving you child, but that is not my true identity. I am Aphrodite and I've come to explain my actions towards you." the goddess of love answered solemnly.
"What are you talking about and can someone please just tell me where Shane is?" The blonde yelled losing her patience and watched as everyone's face turned away from her gaze.
"I'm sorry, B. Shane died tonight fighting those bastards." Faith growled out the last part still wanting to hurt them.
"No, no, sh… she ca… can't be … be dead. Ok, this can't be happening. I'm suddenly pregnant and Shane's dead. Why is this happening?" Buffy broke down into tears still mumbling in her grief.
"There was a prophecy about Shane and I tried to advert it on the pleas of my husband, Ares." Everybody turned to listen to the goddess, "I met with you, Buffy, that night to do exactly this. I sprinkled a powder of my mother's design so you would become pregnant. Shane's biggest dream was to have a family and so she would do anything to keep that, including not chasing after the traitors, leaving that mess to someone else. When my father told me that we could no longer interfere, I knew my efforts would be in vain."
"So, we are just toys for you, Gods, to play with our very lives." Faith raged.
"The baby is Shane's?" the blonde witch was staring at the other slayer's stomach area with an unreadable emotion.
"Yes, the baby will be one quarter god and three quarters slayer." In one sentence, the two blonde humans broke down.
Faith pulled her love into her arms trying to be strong for her family, watching the crying Joyce pull an equally crying slayer into her arms. Aphrodite left as suddenly as she appeared to leave the broken family in their misery.
*15 years later*
"Little Warrior, hurry up or you're going to be late for school." Faith yelled as she pounded on the door.
Inside a light haired blonde rose from her bed with a sigh, she threw on some clothes and went to her mirror to comb her hair. Just like every average teenager, she didn't want to go to school but her dark red eyes made her life miserable. The quarter demi-god walked out of her bedroom to see her two aunts sitting at the table like there was nothing wrong with the world. Danielle grew up knowing that the Gods of Olympus were real and ever since she was old enough to remember her aunt Faith had been teaching her how to defend herself. That turned into offensive moves by the time she was nine years old. Danni never felt better than when she was holding a weapon of some sort.
Buffy and Faith had argued multiple times about whether the blonde child should be taught what was in her heart. The blonde slayer wanted to keep her daughter far from the world that had taken the love of her life, she believed, but the brunette was not easily swayed. She started training her mentor's child behind Buffy's back until her mother found out and tried to take Danielle away from the two by fleeing Sunnydale. Tara was the one that convinced the enraged slayer that it was Shane's choice to fight and no one forced her to.
*Flashback*
"No, I will not let this continue. Shane died at the whims of those assholes and I will not the last part of her I have left be subject to that." Buffy yelled at the couple.
"She was my sister Buffy, and I have the same worries you do but this way I know that some stray demon or monster won't be able to take away my niece." Tara yelled back with tears in her eyes. "Or you."
The blonde slayer was shocked to hear the normally quiet witch yell at her. Buffy let what Tara was telling her sink in before she hung her head with regret and nodded her head in agreement.
*End flashback*
Buffy was watching her daughter stand at the walk way to the kitchen. She felt sorry for her child since she was never able to fit in with other kids her age. Her eyes made everyone afraid of her even if she hadn't had a bad reputation, much like the blonde did. The day her daughter's school called, when she had been in first grade, and told her to come as they wanted to talk about Danielle's behavior in class that day had worried the blonde to the bone. The teacher and other members of the staff thought that her daughter was an overly aggressive child since she had shoved a boy across the room with one push. Buffy argued that Danielle was used to playing around with her aunt Faith but they still kicked the blonde child out of the school.
The slayer had found another school but soon found the same problem there. Ares had offered multiple times to take Danielle to Olympus to be taught and with kids that could understand her but Buffy, still harboring a grudge against the Gods, refused every time. This had caused her biggest fight with the blonde hybrid and the slayer still refused to ever let the Gods take her child away.
Faith had sensed her niece in the hall behind her and the brunette didn't want to rush the teen any more than she was. The brunette knew that Danielle hated school and Faith couldn't blame her. She had been in her protégé's place before and thought Buffy was making a mistake when refusing Ares. It was not her place to decide and she knew this but a part of her wanted the girl to be with people that could understand her. The months after Shane's death had taken their toll on the brunette slayer. She had to be strong through the grief and keep Buffy from doing anything stupid while she was pregnant or after she had the baby. One of the nights, after Danielle was born, Faith went to the baby's room.
*Flashback*
Faith starred down into the crib at the sleeping baby. The baby looked so peacefully just resting the night away with no worries of monsters or of any of the evil in the world. As if the child had felt someone starring at her, she opened her deep red eyes wide and smiled at the form of her aunt. The brunette could see no fear in her niece's eyes as she starred up at the other hybrid. Faith noticed Danielle start to wiggle like she wanted to be picked up, so that is exactly what Faith did.
"Hey there, Danni." Faith spoke quietly to the baby in her arms, "Look at you, so brave just like your mommies but don't worry I won't ever let anything happen to you, my Little Warrior."
The thought of Shane not being able to hold her child in her own arms or even talk to her had Faith's eyes filling with tears. She had been so strong for so long but one innocent look from this baby had the brunette on her knees with tears streaming down her face. She held Danielle so close to her chest like she was the last thing keeping her tied to the world. That was how Tara found them a few hours later.
*End flashback*
Tara could remember that night she watch her love finally break down. She had been so frozen watching her normally strong girlfriend sobbing while holding onto her niece. Tara loved Danielle and, no matter how moody the teenager sometimes got, her niece would never get an attitude with the blonde witch. She could see the essence of her sister in those times. The blonde witch knew that Danielle was the perfect mixture of Buffy and Shane. Tara could see that no matter how terrible people treated her, she would stand to fight against evil if solely to protect her family. There are still times when the blonde can see that Danielle feels out of place in her own home and it saddens Tara to tears. Other times, her niece acts like any happy teenager especially when Buffy or Faith train with her or when surrounded by her 'family'.
"Come on, Little Warrior, we need to get moving." Faith stood and kissed Tara lovingly before throwing a package of pop-tarts at the teen, "Eat those on the way."
"Yes Ma'am." Danielle saluted sarcastically at her aunt before turning around to face her mom, "I'll see you later, Mom. I love you."
"I love you too, Danni." Buffy said as she pulled her girl in for a hug and kissed her check.
While Danielle was sitting in her math class, she felt a presence similar to her aunt Faith's approach the school and not long after a call came in to her class. After a short talk, the teacher turned to the blonde and told her that her uncle was here to pick her up. Danielle hid the confusion on her face as she was sure that Xander was not at the school but that didn't stop her from picking up her back and walking out of the class room. The hybrid didn't know what to do since she didn't have a weapon on her or a phone yet to call her mom or aunt. Danielle decided to try and get whoever was here outside of school grounds so she could fight without people noticing or innocents getting caught in the crossfire. Standing in front of the secretary's desk was a man she had never seen before; he was tall and looked to be about the same age as her mom and wearing a black jacket with jeans. The secretary was laughing at something the man was saying before they noticed her.
"Hello there, Danielle, It's been too long since I've seen you." The stranger greeted with a false smile and pulled her into a hug, "Play along or I will kill everyone her and you know I can."
"Yeah, it has but let's not waste time here." The blonde responded after swallowing down her nervousness.
"So, you do know him Miss Summers." The secretary started while double checking.
"Yeah, this is my uncle. So if it's okay, can we leave?" Danielle asked hopefully.
"Sure, sounds alright with me." She said letting them leave.
Once outside, the man led her to a small bit of water and tossed a coin into it. Out of the water raised a portal though the other side was blurry but were stopped before he could push the teen through the portal by a shout from by the other side of the road. There stood Faith charging at the stranger holding her niece. Danielle took his loss of attention to drive her elbow into her captor before swinging a right hook at his chin. He was knocked back towards the portal he had summoned and at the last minute grabbed his target pulling her through with him. By the time, Faith made it there the portal closed and the normally tough brunette fell to the ground in shock.
AN: This is the last chapter of the Demi-good. So, I hope I left it in a good place and hopefully it won't take too long to get the sequel up. Please review and thank you for reading.
