Got this idea from a conversation with LycoX so thank you to him, and it adds to my list of Wesley/Lilah stuff too.
Have fun.
"Come on children, wake up", Lilah called out to her son and daughter. Habit would have her add 'Or I'll feed you to some hellhounds' but Wesley would have her head for that.
"Yes mommy", her son Holland (Lilah hated all her bosses but Holland she hated the least and she did respect that guy) and daughter Fred (Wesley wouldn't have it any other way, and well, what could Lilah do?) said at the same time as they woke up.
Lilah walked downstairs where Wesley was reading a newspaper. "Good morning, honey."
"Good morning, honey", Lilah responded to her husband in the most forced polite tone that she could.
They sat down in front of each other as Wesley asked. "So, how far are the kids?"
"Well, I think they're brushing now", Lilah said. "Why do we have them again?"
"To raise them", Wesley simply shrugged.
"Eh, waste of money I say Wes, best use of them is to sacrifice them and gain some power", Lilah quipped as Wesley rolled his eyes.
He knew she did love the children, even if she didn't say it out loud, and these remarks were just her dark jokes, a leftover from her Wolfram and Hart days.
"I believe I would sacrifice you before that", Wesley told her without even looking up.
"Sure you would, hero", Lilah quipped as the children both came down.
"Good morning mommy, good morning daddy", they said together as they sat down on the table, eating the breakfast.
"So, how's school?" Lilah asked her two children.
"Fine mom, one other boy tried hitting me though", Holland told her.
"Have you told the Principal or any teacher?" Wesley inquired.
"No", Holland confirmed.
"Do so today", Wesley said and Holland nodded.
"Or better yet, beat up the boy", Lilah said with a smirk as Wesley sighed.
"Lilah, we aren't supposed to teach our kids such violent solutions", Wesley groaned while rolling his eyes. "Do not listen to mommy, she is joking."
"Come on Wes, where's the fun in just complaining?" Lilah asked as the two chuckled, but it was lost on the two kids.
"A girl called herself prettier than me", Fred informed.
"Well then honey mess up her face", Lilah told her.
"No, mommy is joking, don't do that, just remember you are the prettiest, the others are just trying to make themselves feel better", Wesley told his daughter while Lilah rolled her eyes.
"Daddy is no fun, is he?" Lilah asked the kids.
"Daddy is trying to protect you from trouble kids", Wesley said as they finished their breakfast and the bus came up.
"Time to go, go quickly", Lilah ushered the kids out as they took their schoolbags and went to the bus, waving to them both.
"Bye mommy, bye daddy."
They were gone as a neighbour greeted them. "Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Pryce."
He walked off as Wesley wished him back. "Good morning Mr. Rogers."
Lilah groaned. She hated this suburban domestic life.
Team Angel had started working at Wolfram and Hart, as the Senior Partners wanted them corrupted by the power, and Wesley had started dating Fred, until Illyria had taken over her.
Lilah was jealous of Fred but she agreed that was a messed up way for Fred to go, too painful for even Lilah to bear.
But she realized she still did care for Wesley, so when she had found out Team Angel's plan to take out the Circe of the Black Thorn, she had realized it would be a mess either way, so she had told Wesley just how much power Vail packed.
So Wesley had just shot Vail all of a sudden during their talking, and the whole fight against Senior Partners had happened where Buffy, Willow, Tara, Faith, Dawn, Xander and a Slayer army had arrived to help out the five in the alley and defeated the Senior Partners' army.
Lilah had met up with Wesley then who had thanked her for her tip, and to their shock, both had resumed their relationship.
Of course Lilah jabbed a lot at Wesley, and he was annoyed by her a lot too, but within a year, he popped the question.
"You want to be annoyed by conflicted morality for the rest of your life?"
"You bet your ass I do."
And thus, they had married, and Angel had been the only one to attend, as he was great friends with Wesley and as much as he hated to admit it, he had a grudging respect for Lilah.
Illyria would pretty much rip out Lilah's throat if she was invited, so she had stayed away with Spike being her friend.
And now, years after the incident, the two lived here in retirement. Two children, odd jobs, contact with friends (Wesley's friends, Lilah had none) and neighbours who knew them.
Good God Lilah hated it, she missed the days when she was in power and had idiots like Gavin suffocating under her ass due to how much they kissed it.
"Let's go", Wesley said as he walked inside, and Lilah followed him.
Okay, Wesley was here though, and she loved being annoyed by his morality, and the way he gave peaceful solutions to their kids.
Maybe she didn't hate the good life as much as she thought.
Well that was fun.
Hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with some other update.
