Chapter 2
**** Sunnydale- Two hours later ****
The car pulls into the parking lot of Giles' apartment building. "Cordy be good" Angel says
"Uh me? Why?" she demands
"Just don't snipe with Xander or Anya."
"Fine but only if you make Wesley agree not to fight with Giles" Cordelia argues
"Wesley?" Angel asks
"Oh fine. I agree I will not fight with Rupert" Wesley agrees
"And Angel you have to agree not to fight with Spike or Riley" Cordelia states with a grin "Or Xander"
Angel growls low before promising "I promise not to fight with Spike, Harris, or Finn no matter how much they annoy me"
"Good now lets get this over with" Cordelia says hopping out of the backseat. The three of them head to Giles apartment, Angel knocks on the door waiting for the door to open.
Giles opens the door "Ah Hello" he moves away so they can enter the apartment "Come in"
"So what's the deal?" Cordelia demands her hands on her hips
"Earlier some girl showed up. She looked almost exactly like Faith. Tara was the one who said she wasn't Faith." Giles answers "Now that I've thought about it she was right. She looked like Faith but there was something else familiar about her." he muses
"Bloody Hell Watcher why am I here?" Spike whines from the armchair
"I don't know she said she'd only tell us why she was here if all of us where here" Giles says
"Can this hurry along" Cordelia snaps "I have shopping to do in the world of normal people"
"Aww Cordy you'll never be normal so whats the deal" Xander smirks
"Get a life Nerd Boy" Cordelia retorts
"Cordelia" Angel says "Stop bickering"
"He started it" she retorts
"I don't care if the Pope started it I am not in the mood to..." he trails off hearing the sound of a fight from outside. Suddenly they all hear something crash against the front door. Opening the door they go outside to find a surprising sight of a girl almost identical to Faith wearing sunglasses fighting.
They watch momentarily stunned as the girl fights the vampires they start to help her when she stakes all the vampires quickly and cleanly. As she does they sense a new presence entering the area. They hear clapping from the shadows Angel and Buffy look at each other both feeling the familiar tingling they get when the other is around. "Good job Kieran" a familiar voice says stepping out of the shadows towards Kieran
"Uh OK I am confused." Xander states "Deadboy do you have a twin?" he asks
Angel growls at the nickname "Don't call me that" His eyes on the newcomer he watches as the one looking like him and the one looking like Faith circle each other warily.
"What do you want Dominick?" Kieran demands
"Eh" he shrugs "World peace?" he smirks "What the hell you know what I want to have some good old fashioned Hellmouth fun. And maybe kill a few annoying people" he finishes with a shrug
Kieran nods her shaded eyes glued to his "I can understand Hellmouth fun considering everything. But you forget you killing anyone of them will kill us both and ends the line"
"I'm bored" Dominick shrugs "Oh well" he suddenly does a roundhouse kick which she blocks
"Poor Dominick you forget I've always been the better fighter" she says smugly as she kicks his leg out from under him
"Yeah but you forget I enjoy the game" he growls vamping out he backhands her across the face sending her sunglasses flying as he turns and jumps the concerete wall "See ya later Baby" he calls disappearing into the night
"Count on it Baby" she retorts wiping the blood from her chin her eyes glowing gold in the light. Sensing the others behind her she picks up her fallen sunglasses she puts them back on seconds before her eyes return to normal. She turns her attention back to the others "I guess you're wondering who we are" she chuckles at the look on their faces.
"OK either Deadboy and Faith have twins or another one of Willow's spells backfired." All eyes go to the red headed witch
"Hey I resent that." she retorts "I haven't done any spells in a while. Ask Tara" she says defensively
Kieran chuckles "This isn't..." she trails off as she feels her head start to pound "shit" she groans grasping her head "I'm gonna freakin' kill him for this" she shakes off the pounding in her head sighing she continues "Willow had nothing to do with this. According to Tara's research Dominick ended up back here because of something that happened when he disappeared."
"Who are you?!" Cordelia demands stepping away from Angel's side
"I guess I should explain somethings."
"Let's take this inside shall we" Giles suggests gesturing to the door
Once inside Kieran keeps her eyes on those around her drinking in the familiar faces.
"So spill pet why the bloody hell am I here when I could be fightin'?" Spike demands petulantly
Kieran chuckles shaking her head "Still the same. Always wantin' to fight."
"Do we know each other?" Spike asks suspiciously
Kieran nods "You could say so."
Riley joins the conversation "Who are you? What are you?" he demands from Buffy's side. "Are you a hostile?"
"You must be Finn" Kieran looks him over "As for who I am I'm Kieran Angela Elizabeth... Addington and I'm not a hostile. Well my principal would say I was. But in your terms I kinda am but not"
Spike and Angel look at each other surprised at the name. Buffy sees the look on their faces and demands "OK you two spill you know something."
Spike shrugs "Addington is my mortal last name" he answers
Buffy then looks at Kieran who's still wearing her sunglasses at night "Take off your glasses" she orders. Kieran does reluctantly as she does the others look at her shocked. "You...you" Buffy stammers at the sight of the familiar blue eyes.
Kieran puts the glasses back on and chuckles "At loss for words Buffy?" she shrugs "I'm Spike and Faith's daughter."
Xander is the first to speak "OK I am officially spooked. Your telling me your the product of two psychotic killers."
Kieran shrugs "Scary huh I turned out semi normal. If you don't count the fact I have a wicked ass temper that I'm known for. Plus the fact I vamp when really pissed off. Then theres the little fact I'm stronger than the average vampire or Slayer. Or the fact my best friend has gone momentarily vamp then I'm still semi normal"
"So uh who is Dominick?" Buffy asks wanting to confirm what she thinks is true
"Dominick William Summers Connely is your and Angel's son" she leans back on her heels watching the stunned looks on their faces with a smirk.
"So your from the future" Wesley states nervously
Kieran nods "If you want proof lets just say that life for you guys ends up being pretty interesting within" she cocks her head thoughtfully "lets see if I'm right the next year or so."
"So what happens to us?" Willow asks nervously
Kieran shoves her hands in her jacket pockets "Lets just say your life expectancy is short. About three months ago our time Angel died thus causing this whole entire trip to happen. After you died Dominick went off on one of his little sulking trips and something happened to bring his otherside out. Which usually is dormant in us. Anyway the only one left alive is Tara." she frowns "Then again it is possible that your still alive Riley. No one knows you pulled a major disappearing act long before I was born. Which caused a major sitch for everyone."
"Whoa so I just disappear of the face of the planet?" Riley says stunned
Kieran nods "You kinda become like the Elvis sightings for the demon world mostly its thought that you were sent on a wack sitch by your dumbass bosses. Which by the way they don't have good plans like you think"
"So the Initiative is bad" Xander states "I told you" he sings to Buffy
"Shove it" Buffy retorts
Kieran nods "More than bad. Our time they rule."
"Rule how? What of a Slayer?" Angel asks
Kieran rubs her neck as she admits reluctantly "The Council has pretty much gone lax on training any Slayers after all whats the use when you have the most deadly fighters under your protection" she ends her voice sarcastic
"Which is you" Tara states
Kieran nods "To them its the only reason Dominick and I exist is to do what they want." she smirks "But they never thought that they would find anyone more rebellious than either of you" she says looking at Buffy and then at Spike and Angel. "Hell the four of you"
"So have they changed much?" Buffy asks
Kieran shrugs "Dunno. You guys never mentioned much about them. Giles cut off all contact with them so did Wesley until I was about 2."
"Why though?" asks Cordy "I mean everyone knows Giles and Wes don't get along with the Council"
Kieran winces at the memory "Ever hear of the Coronus prophecy?" she asks. At the groups frowns she says "Check it out. I'll patrol for ya. My advice" she says heading to the door "Stay out of Dominick's way. He maybe your son but he's stronger than either of you." she opens the door once in the entrance she calls "I'll deal with him myself. And Finn if any of your guys go after him lets just say your gonna learn how pissed off I can get. See ya round" she nods leaving them staring at the retreating form.
"What is the Coronus Prophecy?" Buffy demands
"I don't know. It sounds familiar" Giles muses
"Yes it does" Wesley agrees "Shall we check the books?"
"Ohh goody research time" Xander groans standing "OK G-man hand me a book"
"Do not call me that" Giles retorts handing the teen a book. "Lets research shall"
Riley's beeper goes off "Damn" he groans checking out the number "Walsh wants everyone in for shut down." he grabs his jacket "Bye" he says hurrying out the door
"Is he always in a hurry?" Cordelia asks
"When Fish Boy's paged he runs like a whipped puppy" Spike smirks
"Does not" Buffy argues
"Uh Buffy I hate to say this but Spike's right." Willow says opening her book
"Its his job" Buffy defends "And Spike don't call him Fish Boy"
"Can we please just research" Giles demands handing Spike and Buffy each a book.
***** Outside Cemetary *****
Kieran is silently walking through the graveyard listening for the sounds alerting her to vampires. Bored she decides to take a seat under a tree to wait. Leaning against the trunk she rests her hand against her still flat abdomen. After sitting there for a few moments she stands drawn to the music coming from the direction of a club. "I know you baby you can't resist the thought of fun." she thinks heading to the club
Entering the darkened building filled with people and loud pounding music she looks around checking the people. A song familiar to her begins to play she starts to sway to the music her mind going over the times she danced with Dominick to the song. She feels a familiar presence close by. After a few moments she senses someone behind her without turning she asks "So out hunting for dinner?"
She hears a familiar chuckle then turns around to see Dominick watching her with a grin "No baby looking for you"
Kieran stares into his eyes seeing a flicker a sadness pass in his eyes then return to the almost cold look. She turns away from him walking outside knowing he would follow her. She goes to the alley beside the building and waits for him to join her. "Why are looking for me?" she asks
"To kill you" he answers his voice calm
Kieran smiles faintly shaking her head. She looks up into the familiar eyes watching her showing both love, hate, warmth and coldness. "No you don't"
"Don't what?" he demands
"Want to kill me" she says moving closer
"Yes I do" he growls his eyes flashing in the dark "I want to" he insists
"Your eyes tell me you don't" she whispers "Besides if you do you die too" she says standing right infront of him. "Dominick why are you here? What happened?"
"Nothing" he growls
"Dom talk to me" she touches his face lightly "Please" she begs
Dominick's mind starts to battle itself, finally his normal side surfaces. "Kieran" he says awed touching her face tenderly
Kieran senses his return and smiles "Dominick" she hugs him tight "I've missed you so much" she cries burying her face in the crook of his shoulder.
Dominick holds her tight "I've missed you too" he whispers
Kieran pulls away looking into her lover's face "I don't like to be apart" she says kissing him "It hurts too much when we are"
Dominick smiles wiping the tears away. "I know baby" he takes her hand dragging her to his hideout
"Where are we going?" she laughingly demands as they go further into the woods
"Some where were we can be alone" he says as they rush to the caves. Pulling her into the cave he removes his duster laying it on the ground he pulls her down to the ground.
Kieran sits on his lap her head resting on his shoulder. "Dominick" she begins taking his hand she places it on her abdomen. "I was serious the other night... I am pregnant."
Dominick rubs her abdomen soothingly "How far along are you?" he asks softly against her hair
"Three months" she answers softly stroking the back of his hand.
"Night after Dad died" he muses. "How long have you known?"
Kieran nods "I think so. It was the only time we didn't use any protection. I found out a few days ago, I tried to find you but I couldn't." she pauses "Are you mad?"
Dominick pulls away looking down at her face he shakes his head. "No baby. I'll never be mad at you. Ever" he insists "I'm sorry" he apologizes
"Why?" Kieran asks
"I didn't think when I left. I just left. Your 17 baby so young to have a baby." He pulls her closer
"Dominick?" she asks worried "Are you saying you don't want me to have the baby" she demands looking him straight in the face
"No Kiera" he shakes his head "I want this baby, as much as you do. I'm just thinking of you. Once we get home you still have a year of high school left. Then college. You know Spike, Dad, and Mom wanted you to go."
"I know. But it'll work out I just need you to come back so we can go home." she sighs "And have this baby"
"I will baby I promise." he says kissing her "Just be careful I don't want anything to happen to you or our baby"
She sighs happily burrowing close to him "We'll be fine you have to be careful too." she giggles mischievously before asking "When did you get your tongue pierced?"
Dominick chuckles "When I was in LA just after I left." he's silent for a moment "So you told them who we are?" he asks stroking her arms lightly
"Some what. I didn't tell them about the baby, or us, considering Spike and Angel hate each other right now. I didn't want to start those two fighting."
"The link?" he asks
"Told them to look up the prophecy." she yawns
"Have you slept lately?"
Kieran shrugs "Not really. I keep having nightmares." she admits
"About what?" Dominick asks softly
"Everyone. You leaving. I was scared for you."
"Scared for me? Why?" he asks
"I was scared that you left for good. I mean what other reason do you have to stay? Angel's gone."
"I'm not leaving" Dominick insists
"I know. I guess I was scared when I woke up and found you gone. I mean before I knew you'd come back but this time I wasn't sure. What reason did you have to stay around"
"You" Dominick answers his hand going to her belly "And now our child"
Kieran kisses his chin and sighs regretfully "Now I have to break up with Brent"
"What?!" Dominick exclaims "You haven't yet!?"
Kieran shakes her head. "I just found out about the baby a few days ago. Before I found out I didn't see the point in breaking up with him. I thought you'd left for good this time."
"I didn't though"
"I know." she replies. She then says thoughtfully "Do you realize that when we get home we won't have to worry about your parents finding out about us"
"Hmm. I know. We can make love all night without worries"
"No more having to lie about who we're dating. No more waking up in the morning to find you gone" Kieran sighs snuggling closer
"For the first time I will be able to wake up and find you beside me." he hears Kieran yawn. "You need to get some sleep baby" he whispers holding her close. "I'll leave once he starts fighting to take control."
"Kay" she mumbles "Just hold me" she yawns
"I am" he whispers
"I love you Dominick" Kieran mumbles
"I love you too Kiera" he lays his hand over her abdomen "And I love you too" he lays there listening to his lover sleep trying to keep his other half at bay.
**** Giles' Apartment ****
Hours after Kieran left the group is still looking for any mention of the Coronus Prophecy. The silence in the room is broken when Willow exclaims "Found it."
The group jumps up in surprise "Well?" demands Buffy
"Its more like a prophetic story."
"And?" Xander prompts
"Here it is:
"Just after time the second millenium begins the world shall begin its fight of light and dark. During that time the two most powerful vampires will join with the strongest two Slayers. Within the first ten years of the alliance two children shall be produced."
"So we know she was telling the truth that she and Dominick are half vampire" Giles muses "Go on" he requests nodding at the red haired witch
Willow nods continuing her reading:
"The two shall be born with both good and evil, light and dark. They shall be the first ever to be born with a dormant demon inside them. Upon the birth of the younger one, the girl, the two shall be forever bonded. As they age the bond will become more prominent. They shall be linked by thoughts, pain and emotion. When one is hurt the other knows and feels it as if it were their own. If one is to die than so shall the other."
Willow looks up at the others "Thats all there is." she pauses thoughtfully "Whoa" she mutters in disbelief "That must totally suck" she sympathizes
"What?" asks Buffy
"To know that if one dies the other dies too. Knowing almost exactly what the other is feeling" she answers
Xander speaks up "So they have like what mini demons inside them?" he asks
Giles nods "Yes Xander they do. But Kieran said that after Angel died Dominick disappeared and something must have triggered his demon to surface and take over."
Cordelia groans "Great just what we need after all that happened with Raven." she glares at Angel "This time buddy I am not being chased for food."
"I thought we were over that" Angel grimaces at the memory
"Uh no. Which I am still traumatized over I want a raise" Cordelia demands
"No way" Angel retorts "I just gave you one"
"Cordelia its been over for a while" Wesley soothes "And I think we got our revenge over that incident"
The ex cheerleader frowns then grins "True that was great revenge but if that ever happens again your gonna be stuck there longer than a day."
"Uh what happened?" Buffy asks confused
"One of the clients drugged me causing Angelus to visit for a while until Wes and Cordelia knocked me out." Angel says sheepishly
"Yeah and the best part is we got revenge when we chained him to his bed during withdrawal." Cordelia smirks "Then once we knew he was back we left him chained to the bed for the day."
Spike bursts out laughing "That is funny."
"Is not" Angel growls at his childe in annoyance. "Hey it was your fault Cordelia."
"No it wasn't. If you'd been more careful to not get caught standing in front of that mirror Mr-I- Have- No -Reflection- Because- I'm- Dead, than you never would have told her you were a vampure."
Angel shakes his head "And if you hadn't been so star struck to mention the whole curse thing I wouldn't have ended up drugged."
"Yes but if you had told the truth about that play then I wouldn't have left you chained to the bed."
"Oh great bring that up. I said sorry" Angel groans "and that I'd never do it again."
Cordelia glares at Wesley causing the ex Watcher to nod "I promised too, no more lying."
The rest of the room is laughing at the bickering three "You three are almost as bad as Buffy and Spike when they bicker" Willow giggles
"Am not" Spike denies
"Are too" Xander retorts "Remember what happened after Willow botched that spell."
"Xander you mention that and I will have to hurt you" Buffy hisses
"Oh dear that was quite funny" Giles chuckles
"I'll...I'll cheer the Slayer on as she beats you up" Spike states growling at the mortal
Anya finally speaks up to say something not involving sex "Buffy and Spike were momentarily engaged" she tells them
"What?!" Angel growls looking at his childe
"Hey not my fault mate. Red screwed up her spell and we ended up liking each other."
Willow laughs "It was kinda funny. But you two bickered even worse while under the spell."
"When they weren't playing tonsil hockey" Xander snickers when Angel growls at Spike even more pissed then before
"Thank god it was all fixed" Buffy says happily "before anything happened"
"So am I" Spike agrees
"Let's get back to work" Giles suggests
"Is there any mention of how to return Dominick to his dominant side?" Buffy asks
Willow shakes her head "Not that it says directly but it has references to the book of Dorick and a few in the Codex"
"I don't have the book of Dorick. Its been missing for centuries." Giles frowns "No one in the Council knows where it is."
"OK then lets go through the Codex" Wesley suggests
**** The Cave ****
Minor R rating
"Dominick" Kieran cries sitting up her heart pounding in fear
"Kiera whats wrong?" Dominick asks wrapping his arms around her he rocks her "Its OK your safe. It was a dream" he soothes
Kieran laces their hands against her abdomen "It felt so real" she whimpers
"What Kieran? What felt so real?" he asks rocking her
"They...they were" she cries clutching him
"They were what?" he asks softly
"Hurting the baby." she sobs turning in his arms she hugs him tight burrowing into his neck "They were hurting our baby" she cries
"Shhh Kiera, It was a dream. Nothing will happen to our baby. I promise" he says kisses her hair "I promise."
"I could feel its pain as well as mine."
"Tell me about it baby" Dominick requests
Kieran closes her eyes tightly trying to remember her dream "You tried to keep them from taking me but they dragged me away after knocking you out." she sobs clinging to him
"I'm here sweetheart. Your safe" he soothes trying to keep his other half down
Kieran nods "I could feel the baby's fear. They were hurting us and I could hear you calling to me. I couldn't get to you"
"Look at me Kieran" he says fiercely tilting her face to his "Listen to me" he orders wiping away her tears "Nothing will happen to you or the baby. I swear I won't let it" he promises her kissing her tenderly "I won't allow anything to hurt you either of you."
Kieran breaks the kiss leaning her forehead against his she breathlessly demands "Make love to me"
"Kieran" he sighs uncertainly
"Please Dominick. I need this. I need you" she whispers kissing him gently "Please"
"Are you sure baby? I don't want to hurt you" he says hopefully yet uncertain "he could come back in control at anytime"
"Dominick he doesn't want to hurt me."
"How do you know?"
Kieran shrugs "I'm not sure I just know. Remember when Buffy told us that it sometimes seemed as though Angelus loved her. Maybe its the same with your other side."
"What makes you think he cares?"
"He had the chance to kill me twice tonight but he didn't. Please baby" she asks straddling his thighs "Its been three months" she reminds kissing him passionately "Three long months."
"Yeah they have been long" Dominick agrees kissing her
Kieran chuckles removing his shirt "You won't believe how horny being pregnant makes me" she smiles seductively kissing his neck "Mmmm you didn't have the tongue ring before"
"Mmm" he groans in pleasure his hands sliding under her top removing it quickly. "You look incredible" he says appreciatively "So beautiful" he smiles unsnapping her bra he caresses her breasts tenderly
Kieran moans grasping his his hair as he suckles at her slightly swollen breasts "Don't stop baby." she gasps "Never stop" she groans at the feeling of the ring circling her nipples
Dominick trails his lips down her body eliciting a moan of frustration. Chuckling he continues stopping at her abdomen he smiles at her tenderly "Our baby" he kisses her abdomen as he removes her pants and shoes. He looks over her naked body "You haven't changed much" he smiles lovingly
Kieran rolls her eyes "The doctor said I most likely won't show until my 5th or 6th month even possible later."
"I vaguely remember when Faith was pregnant with you. She didn't show much I pretty much remember one day drawn to her then the next I remember is seeing you just after you where born. Even then you were beautiful" he smiles kissing her
Kieran's hands go to his pants "Take 'em off" she demands frustrated
Chuckling Dominick removes his pants and immediately he thrusts into her "Shi..." he groans at her tightness
Kieran shrieks in pleasure at the feeling of him inside her "I've missed this" she sighs holding him tight "You feel so good" she gasps
Dominick smiles "I have too my love." he caresses her face as he slowly thrusts into her. "Kieran" he sighs in pleasure
The two concentrate on being together and nothing else. After making love they lay there holding each other tight "I need to go Kiera. He wants back in control." he sighs regretfully. He kisses her and then stands pulling on his clothes. "I'll see you later." he smiles sadly
Kieran nods "I know. Dom I need some money." seeing his questioning look she explains "I don't want to sleep at the mansion and the baby is getting hungry" she smiles faintly absently rubbing her abdomen
Dominick chuckles kneeling beside her he lightly touches her abdomen "We don't want that do we" he leans down and kisses her abdomen "Daddy loves you baby. And your mommy too." He smiles at Kieran then stands again reaching into his jacket pocket he hands her a bunch of cash. "Here. Go get some rest and find something to eat." he looks at Kieran seriously "Eat something healthy not just candy"
Kieran nods "Thanks" she smiles taking the cash and stands before him naked her hand against her belly. "Dominick?" she asks softly
"Yeah baby?" he asks turning around
Kieran looks down at her hand then shyly she looks at him " I love you"
Dominick smiles "I love you too. As always."
She watches as he leaves the cave "Come back soon baby" she whispers to herself
**** Next Afternoon ****
Kieran after having slept the night through awakens in the early afternoon and heads straight to Giles place. Knocking a moment later Xander opens the door she smirks at him looking over the sunglasses at the teen "Miss me?" she asks mockingly
"I was hoping last night was a dream but no not Xander's luck" Xander mutters in disbelief he moves away so Kieran can enter
"So how's good ol' research time?" Kieran asks hopping up on the counter she watches the tired people look towards her and grins "I take it you were looking for more on us"
Giles looks at her "So how was patrol?"
Kieran shrugs leaning back she grabs an apple off the counter "Dunno. I got a little sidetracked" she says taking a bite out of the apple
Anya smirks "Someone had sex"
Kieran rolls her eyes "OK you are exactly like I remember and if I did its none of your business. Anyway I did do a short patrol no one alive or undead were around."she frowns "I guess as long as I'm here I'll need to get used to low patrol" she sighs regretfully "That bites. I haven't had a good fight in a while." she then smiles faintly as she remembers all her fights with Dominick that ended in sex.
"Uh hello?" Buffy asks waving her hand "Earth to Kieran. Where are you?"
Kieran shakes herself out of her thoughts and looks at the Slayer "Sorry. I kinda have a tendency to short out"
"Just like Dear old Dad" Xander snickers
"Shut up Scrappy" growls Spike
Kieran chuckles "Yeah they always said I take after Spike too much" she muses taking a bite out of the apple
"So you and Dominick are half vampire." Giles states going straight to the topic
"Yup." she answers tossing the apple into the kitchen sink. Kieran walks to the table grabbing a book she flips through the pages "We're half vampire raised mostly human. Well Dominick was. I was raised by Spike. I'm more vampire in temper but Dominick is in characteristics" she puts the book back
"Temper?" Wesley inquires
Kieran nods picking up a knife she inspects it curiously. "Yep I have record longer than Faith and Buffy's put together. Dominick's isn't quite as long but that's because he spent most of the time saving my ass."
"You have a record?" Buffy asks surprised "How old are you?"
Kieran smirks "I'm 17. I turn 18 in 4 months. Dominick turns 22 in a month." she picks up another book "I have a record nonetheless. Starting when I was 14." she shakes off her memories
"What happened?" Tara asks cautiously
"I don't think that we should discuss the future" Wesley says cautiously. The others glare at the ex-Watcher. "It could change the future" he explains
Kieran shakes her head "It won't. When we return home all you will remember is that two people named Dominick and Kieran."
"So why tell us?" Buffy demands "We won't remember so what's the use"
"It'll help us figure out a way to restore Dominick" Angel nods to Kieran "Go ahead"
"Uh Drusilla brought me back to Sunnydale when I was eleven." Seeing the questioning looks she explains "Faith died not long after I was born. Spike disappeared for a while and I lived with Buffy and Angel for the next year. After returning to Sunnydale on my first birthday ended up moving to London. For the next 10 years we rarely ever stayed anywhere longer than a year people would be getting suspicious why you weren't getting any older. By the time I was ten you thought it would be easier if I just called you Spike. No more having to explain why a ten year old was calling you Dad." she glances at Spike "You were killed by some Tarakans. Funny huh you called them out on Buffy and they were later called on us." she turns her attention back to roaming the room. "We had been visiting Dru in Prague at the time. Which just so you know she becomes more sane by the time Dom and I are born. Dru brought me back to Sunnydale to Buffy and Angel. The Tarakans followed killing all but Tara within the next few years."
"So I take it you were seen as the town trouble-maker?" Buffy asks
"More than." Kieran chuckles "Dominick always called me the town terror. By the time I showed up the town was a little leery of the people living in the mansion. I started fights when ever anyone pissed me off which was all the time. Got arrested for assualt, public disturbance, vandalism, a few drunken brawls, jackin' cars" she shrugs " Within weeks the whole town was scared of me. It was fun."
"And you weren't ever arrested?" Xander asks
"Oh I was but like I said the Council wanted me around. All charges against me would be dropped. When I was 16 Angel started getting suspicious of why no matter what I did I was never in jail longer than a few hours. Found out the Council had made a deal with the Initiative."
"What sort of deal?" Wesley asks
"Oh that they would help the Council track demons as long as they left me and Dominick alone."
"And do they?" Giles asks
"Most the time. They tried to grab us a few times but they learned pretty quick that we don't do well to being seperated."
"But you said you lived in Europe for ten years" Willow reminds
"Yes but like I said Wes and Giles had to reconnect with the Council when I was two. Originally you had no clue about the prophecy until I was around 2 and Dominick was 7. One of Spike's old friends found out about the contract on us. I was injured pretty bad. Blood and broken bones. At the same time in Sunnydale out of nowhere Dominick had broken bones and was bleeding. Our injuries were exactly the same."
"Wow" Xander says
Kieran leans against the wall "So when Spike called and told Buffy and Angel what happened to me he found out the exact same thing happened to Dom minus the whole kidnapping thing."
"And knowing Giles once Buffy told him he began researching" Willow muses
"Watcher dudes to the rescue. Anyway after finding the prophecy you joined us in London. Stayed there until Dominick and I learned to control our link. So when I was 8 you returned to Sunnydale and Spike and I stayed in, at that time, Italy."
"This is freaky" Xander states with a groan
"No shit" Kieran mutters fiddling with another knife
"So how did we all die?" asks Willow
Kieran stiffens then answers "Sorry. You already know enough about the future as it is." she closes her eyes trying to block the memories "Besides its better if you don't know."
"I want to know" whines Xander
Kieran shakes her head "No Xander you don't"
"Did I have a painful death?" he asks worried
"Dunno I wasn't around." Kieran answers
"Kieran how did Dominick manage to come back in time?" Giles asks changing the subject
Kieran sits on the floor and leaning back on her hands she begins the story of the last few days at home "The night Dominick disappeared I had a visit from a sorcerer. The sorcerer confirmed what I had already known...that Dominick's demon had surfaced. The sorcerer informed me he was sending Dominick back in time but he didn't say why"
"And you followed" Buffy says
Kieran nods "Yes. He is the only family I got left. Tara found a spell that could send me back here and return us to our proper time. Now all I have to do is get Dom back to normal" she swallows a wave of nausea as she remembers that night.
"We should begin to research" Wesley suggests and the group begins to research how to return Dominick to normal

Chapter 2
**** Sunnydale- Two hours later ****
The car pulls into the parking lot of Giles' apartment building. "Cordy be good" Angel says
"Uh me? Why?" she demands
"Just don't snipe with Xander or Anya."
"Fine but only if you make Wesley agree not to fight with Giles" Cordelia argues
"Wesley?" Angel asks
"Oh fine. I agree I will not fight with Rupert" Wesley agrees
"And Angel you have to agree not to fight with Spike or Riley" Cordelia states with a grin "Or Xander"
Angel growls low before promising "I promise not to fight with Spike, Harris, or Finn no matter how much they annoy me"
"Good now lets get this over with" Cordelia says hopping out of the backseat. The three of them head to Giles apartment, Angel knocks on the door waiting for the door to open.
Giles opens the door "Ah Hello" he moves away so they can enter the apartment "Come in"
"So what's the deal?" Cordelia demands her hands on her hips
"Earlier some girl showed up. She looked almost exactly like Faith. Tara was the one who said she wasn't Faith." Giles answers "Now that I've thought about it she was right. She looked like Faith but there was something else familiar about her." he muses
"Bloody Hell Watcher why am I here?" Spike whines from the armchair
"I don't know she said she'd only tell us why she was here if all of us where here" Giles says
"Can this hurry along" Cordelia snaps "I have shopping to do in the world of normal people"
"Aww Cordy you'll never be normal so whats the deal" Xander smirks
"Get a life Nerd Boy" Cordelia retorts
"Cordelia" Angel says "Stop bickering"
"He started it" she retorts
"I don't care if the Pope started it I am not in the mood to..." he trails off hearing the sound of a fight from outside. Suddenly they all hear something crash against the front door. Opening the door they go outside to find a surprising sight of a girl almost identical to Faith wearing sunglasses fighting.
They watch momentarily stunned as the girl fights the vampires they start to help her when she stakes all the vampires quickly and cleanly. As she does they sense a new presence entering the area. They hear clapping from the shadows Angel and Buffy look at each other both feeling the familiar tingling they get when the other is around. "Good job Kieran" a familiar voice says stepping out of the shadows towards Kieran
"Uh OK I am confused." Xander states "Deadboy do you have a twin?" he asks
Angel growls at the nickname "Don't call me that" His eyes on the newcomer he watches as the one looking like him and the one looking like Faith circle each other warily.
"What do you want Dominick?" Kieran demands
"Eh" he shrugs "World peace?" he smirks "What the hell you know what I want to have some good old fashioned Hellmouth fun. And maybe kill a few annoying people" he finishes with a shrug
Kieran nods her shaded eyes glued to his "I can understand Hellmouth fun considering everything. But you forget you killing anyone of them will kill us both and ends the line"
"I'm bored" Dominick shrugs "Oh well" he suddenly does a roundhouse kick which she blocks
"Poor Dominick you forget I've always been the better fighter" she says smugly as she kicks his leg out from under him
"Yeah but you forget I enjoy the game" he growls vamping out he backhands her across the face sending her sunglasses flying as he turns and jumps the concerete wall "See ya later Baby" he calls disappearing into the night
"Count on it Baby" she retorts wiping the blood from her chin her eyes glowing gold in the light. Sensing the others behind her she picks up her fallen sunglasses she puts them back on seconds before her eyes return to normal. She turns her attention back to the others "I guess you're wondering who we are" she chuckles at the look on their faces.
"OK either Deadboy and Faith have twins or another one of Willow's spells backfired." All eyes go to the red headed witch
"Hey I resent that." she retorts "I haven't done any spells in a while. Ask Tara" she says defensively
Kieran chuckles "This isn't..." she trails off as she feels her head start to pound "shit" she groans grasping her head "I'm gonna freakin' kill him for this" she shakes off the pounding in her head sighing she continues "Willow had nothing to do with this. According to Tara's research Dominick ended up back here because of something that happened when he disappeared."
"Who are you?!" Cordelia demands stepping away from Angel's side
"I guess I should explain somethings."
"Let's take this inside shall we" Giles suggests gesturing to the door
Once inside Kieran keeps her eyes on those around her drinking in the familiar faces.
"So spill pet why the bloody hell am I here when I could be fightin'?" Spike demands petulantly
Kieran chuckles shaking her head "Still the same. Always wantin' to fight."
"Do we know each other?" Spike asks suspiciously
Kieran nods "You could say so."
Riley joins the conversation "Who are you? What are you?" he demands from Buffy's side. "Are you a hostile?"
"You must be Finn" Kieran looks him over "As for who I am I'm Kieran Angela Elizabeth... Addington and I'm not a hostile. Well my principal would say I was. But in your terms I kinda am but not"
Spike and Angel look at each other surprised at the name. Buffy sees the look on their faces and demands "OK you two spill you know something."
Spike shrugs "Addington is my mortal last name" he answers
Buffy then looks at Kieran who's still wearing her sunglasses at night "Take off your glasses" she orders. Kieran does reluctantly as she does the others look at her shocked. "You...you" Buffy stammers at the sight of the familiar blue eyes.
Kieran puts the glasses back on and chuckles "At loss for words Buffy?" she shrugs "I'm Spike and Faith's daughter."
Xander is the first to speak "OK I am officially spooked. Your telling me your the product of two psychotic killers."
Kieran shrugs "Scary huh I turned out semi normal. If you don't count the fact I have a wicked ass temper that I'm known for. Plus the fact I vamp when really pissed off. Then theres the little fact I'm stronger than the average vampire or Slayer. Or the fact my best friend has gone momentarily vamp then I'm still semi normal"
"So uh who is Dominick?" Buffy asks wanting to confirm what she thinks is true
"Dominick William Summers Connely is your and Angel's son" she leans back on her heels watching the stunned looks on their faces with a smirk.
"So your from the future" Wesley states nervously
Kieran nods "If you want proof lets just say that life for you guys ends up being pretty interesting within" she cocks her head thoughtfully "lets see if I'm right the next year or so."
"So what happens to us?" Willow asks nervously
Kieran shoves her hands in her jacket pockets "Lets just say your life expectancy is short. About three months ago our time Angel died thus causing this whole entire trip to happen. After you died Dominick went off on one of his little sulking trips and something happened to bring his otherside out. Which usually is dormant in us. Anyway the only one left alive is Tara." she frowns "Then again it is possible that your still alive Riley. No one knows you pulled a major disappearing act long before I was born. Which caused a major sitch for everyone."
"Whoa so I just disappear of the face of the planet?" Riley says stunned
Kieran nods "You kinda become like the Elvis sightings for the demon world mostly its thought that you were sent on a wack sitch by your dumbass bosses. Which by the way they don't have good plans like you think"
"So the Initiative is bad" Xander states "I told you" he sings to Buffy
"Shove it" Buffy retorts
Kieran nods "More than bad. Our time they rule."
"Rule how? What of a Slayer?" Angel asks
Kieran rubs her neck as she admits reluctantly "The Council has pretty much gone lax on training any Slayers after all whats the use when you have the most deadly fighters under your protection" she ends her voice sarcastic
"Which is you" Tara states
Kieran nods "To them its the only reason Dominick and I exist is to do what they want." she smirks "But they never thought that they would find anyone more rebellious than either of you" she says looking at Buffy and then at Spike and Angel. "Hell the four of you"
"So have they changed much?" Buffy asks
Kieran shrugs "Dunno. You guys never mentioned much about them. Giles cut off all contact with them so did Wesley until I was about 2."
"Why though?" asks Cordy "I mean everyone knows Giles and Wes don't get along with the Council"
Kieran winces at the memory "Ever hear of the Coronus prophecy?" she asks. At the groups frowns she says "Check it out. I'll patrol for ya. My advice" she says heading to the door "Stay out of Dominick's way. He maybe your son but he's stronger than either of you." she opens the door once in the entrance she calls "I'll deal with him myself. And Finn if any of your guys go after him lets just say your gonna learn how pissed off I can get. See ya round" she nods leaving them staring at the retreating form.
"What is the Coronus Prophecy?" Buffy demands
"I don't know. It sounds familiar" Giles muses
"Yes it does" Wesley agrees "Shall we check the books?"
"Ohh goody research time" Xander groans standing "OK G-man hand me a book"
"Do not call me that" Giles retorts handing the teen a book. "Lets research shall"
Riley's beeper goes off "Damn" he groans checking out the number "Walsh wants everyone in for shut down." he grabs his jacket "Bye" he says hurrying out the door
"Is he always in a hurry?" Cordelia asks
"When Fish Boy's paged he runs like a whipped puppy" Spike smirks
"Does not" Buffy argues
"Uh Buffy I hate to say this but Spike's right." Willow says opening her book
"Its his job" Buffy defends "And Spike don't call him Fish Boy"
"Can we please just research" Giles demands handing Spike and Buffy each a book.
***** Outside Cemetary *****
Kieran is silently walking through the graveyard listening for the sounds alerting her to vampires. Bored she decides to take a seat under a tree to wait. Leaning against the trunk she rests her hand against her still flat abdomen. After sitting there for a few moments she stands drawn to the music coming from the direction of a club. "I know you baby you can't resist the thought of fun." she thinks heading to the club
Entering the darkened building filled with people and loud pounding music she looks around checking the people. A song familiar to her begins to play she starts to sway to the music her mind going over the times she danced with Dominick to the song. She feels a familiar presence close by. After a few moments she senses someone behind her without turning she asks "So out hunting for dinner?"
She hears a familiar chuckle then turns around to see Dominick watching her with a grin "No baby looking for you"
Kieran stares into his eyes seeing a flicker a sadness pass in his eyes then return to the almost cold look. She turns away from him walking outside knowing he would follow her. She goes to the alley beside the building and waits for him to join her. "Why are looking for me?" she asks
"To kill you" he answers his voice calm
Kieran smiles faintly shaking her head. She looks up into the familiar eyes watching her showing both love, hate, warmth and coldness. "No you don't"
"Don't what?" he demands
"Want to kill me" she says moving closer
"Yes I do" he growls his eyes flashing in the dark "I want to" he insists
"Your eyes tell me you don't" she whispers "Besides if you do you die too" she says standing right infront of him. "Dominick why are you here? What happened?"
"Nothing" he growls
"Dom talk to me" she touches his face lightly "Please" she begs
Dominick's mind starts to battle itself, finally his normal side surfaces. "Kieran" he says awed touching her face tenderly
Kieran senses his return and smiles "Dominick" she hugs him tight "I've missed you so much" she cries burying her face in the crook of his shoulder.
Dominick holds her tight "I've missed you too" he whispers
Kieran pulls away looking into her lover's face "I don't like to be apart" she says kissing him "It hurts too much when we are"
Dominick smiles wiping the tears away. "I know baby" he takes her hand dragging her to his hideout
"Where are we going?" she laughingly demands as they go further into the woods
"Some where were we can be alone" he says as they rush to the caves. Pulling her into the cave he removes his duster laying it on the ground he pulls her down to the ground.
Kieran sits on his lap her head resting on his shoulder. "Dominick" she begins taking his hand she places it on her abdomen. "I was serious the other night... I am pregnant."
Dominick rubs her abdomen soothingly "How far along are you?" he asks softly against her hair
"Three months" she answers softly stroking the back of his hand.
"Night after Dad died" he muses. "How long have you known?"
Kieran nods "I think so. It was the only time we didn't use any protection. I found out a few days ago, I tried to find you but I couldn't." she pauses "Are you mad?"
Dominick pulls away looking down at her face he shakes his head. "No baby. I'll never be mad at you. Ever" he insists "I'm sorry" he apologizes
"Why?" Kieran asks
"I didn't think when I left. I just left. Your 17 baby so young to have a baby." He pulls her closer
"Dominick?" she asks worried "Are you saying you don't want me to have the baby" she demands looking him straight in the face
"No Kiera" he shakes his head "I want this baby, as much as you do. I'm just thinking of you. Once we get home you still have a year of high school left. Then college. You know Spike, Dad, and Mom wanted you to go."
"I know. But it'll work out I just need you to come back so we can go home." she sighs "And have this baby"
"I will baby I promise." he says kissing her "Just be careful I don't want anything to happen to you or our baby"
She sighs happily burrowing close to him "We'll be fine you have to be careful too." she giggles mischievously before asking "When did you get your tongue pierced?"
Dominick chuckles "When I was in LA just after I left." he's silent for a moment "So you told them who we are?" he asks stroking her arms lightly
"Some what. I didn't tell them about the baby, or us, considering Spike and Angel hate each other right now. I didn't want to start those two fighting."
"The link?" he asks
"Told them to look up the prophecy." she yawns
"Have you slept lately?"
Kieran shrugs "Not really. I keep having nightmares." she admits
"About what?" Dominick asks softly
"Everyone. You leaving. I was scared for you."
"Scared for me? Why?" he asks
"I was scared that you left for good. I mean what other reason do you have to stay? Angel's gone."
"I'm not leaving" Dominick insists
"I know. I guess I was scared when I woke up and found you gone. I mean before I knew you'd come back but this time I wasn't sure. What reason did you have to stay around"
"You" Dominick answers his hand going to her belly "And now our child"
Kieran kisses his chin and sighs regretfully "Now I have to break up with Brent"
"What?!" Dominick exclaims "You haven't yet!?"
Kieran shakes her head. "I just found out about the baby a few days ago. Before I found out I didn't see the point in breaking up with him. I thought you'd left for good this time."
"I didn't though"
"I know." she replies. She then says thoughtfully "Do you realize that when we get home we won't have to worry about your parents finding out about us"
"Hmm. I know. We can make love all night without worries"
"No more having to lie about who we're dating. No more waking up in the morning to find you gone" Kieran sighs snuggling closer
"For the first time I will be able to wake up and find you beside me." he hears Kieran yawn. "You need to get some sleep baby" he whispers holding her close. "I'll leave once he starts fighting to take control."
"Kay" she mumbles "Just hold me" she yawns
"I am" he whispers
"I love you Dominick" Kieran mumbles
"I love you too Kiera" he lays his hand over her abdomen "And I love you too" he lays there listening to his lover sleep trying to keep his other half at bay.
**** Giles' Apartment ****
Hours after Kieran left the group is still looking for any mention of the Coronus Prophecy. The silence in the room is broken when Willow exclaims "Found it."
The group jumps up in surprise "Well?" demands Buffy
"Its more like a prophetic story."
"And?" Xander prompts
"Here it is:
"Just after time the second millenium begins the world shall begin its fight of light and dark. During that time the two most powerful vampires will join with the strongest two Slayers. Within the first ten years of the alliance two children shall be produced."
"So we know she was telling the truth that she and Dominick are half vampire" Giles muses "Go on" he requests nodding at the red haired witch
Willow nods continuing her reading:
"The two shall be born with both good and evil, light and dark. They shall be the first ever to be born with a dormant demon inside them. Upon the birth of the younger one, the girl, the two shall be forever bonded. As they age the bond will become more prominent. They shall be linked by thoughts, pain and emotion. When one is hurt the other knows and feels it as if it were their own. If one is to die than so shall the other."
Willow looks up at the others "Thats all there is." she pauses thoughtfully "Whoa" she mutters in disbelief "That must totally suck" she sympathizes
"What?" asks Buffy
"To know that if one dies the other dies too. Knowing almost exactly what the other is feeling" she answers
Xander speaks up "So they have like what mini demons inside them?" he asks
Giles nods "Yes Xander they do. But Kieran said that after Angel died Dominick disappeared and something must have triggered his demon to surface and take over."
Cordelia groans "Great just what we need after all that happened with Raven." she glares at Angel "This time buddy I am not being chased for food."
"I thought we were over that" Angel grimaces at the memory
"Uh no. Which I am still traumatized over I want a raise" Cordelia demands
"No way" Angel retorts "I just gave you one"
"Cordelia its been over for a while" Wesley soothes "And I think we got our revenge over that incident"
The ex cheerleader frowns then grins "True that was great revenge but if that ever happens again your gonna be stuck there longer than a day."
"Uh what happened?" Buffy asks confused
"One of the clients drugged me causing Angelus to visit for a while until Wes and Cordelia knocked me out." Angel says sheepishly
"Yeah and the best part is we got revenge when we chained him to his bed during withdrawal." Cordelia smirks "Then once we knew he was back we left him chained to the bed for the day."
Spike bursts out laughing "That is funny."
"Is not" Angel growls at his childe in annoyance. "Hey it was your fault Cordelia."
"No it wasn't. If you'd been more careful to not get caught standing in front of that mirror Mr-I- Have- No -Reflection- Because- I'm- Dead, than you never would have told her you were a vampure."
Angel shakes his head "And if you hadn't been so star struck to mention the whole curse thing I wouldn't have ended up drugged."
"Yes but if you had told the truth about that play then I wouldn't have left you chained to the bed."
"Oh great bring that up. I said sorry" Angel groans "and that I'd never do it again."
Cordelia glares at Wesley causing the ex Watcher to nod "I promised too, no more lying."
The rest of the room is laughing at the bickering three "You three are almost as bad as Buffy and Spike when they bicker" Willow giggles
"Am not" Spike denies
"Are too" Xander retorts "Remember what happened after Willow botched that spell."
"Xander you mention that and I will have to hurt you" Buffy hisses
"Oh dear that was quite funny" Giles chuckles
"I'll...I'll cheer the Slayer on as she beats you up" Spike states growling at the mortal
Anya finally speaks up to say something not involving sex "Buffy and Spike were momentarily engaged" she tells them
"What?!" Angel growls looking at his childe
"Hey not my fault mate. Red screwed up her spell and we ended up liking each other."
Willow laughs "It was kinda funny. But you two bickered even worse while under the spell."
"When they weren't playing tonsil hockey" Xander snickers when Angel growls at Spike even more pissed then before
"Thank god it was all fixed" Buffy says happily "before anything happened"
"So am I" Spike agrees
"Let's get back to work" Giles suggests
"Is there any mention of how to return Dominick to his dominant side?" Buffy asks
Willow shakes her head "Not that it says directly but it has references to the book of Dorick and a few in the Codex"
"I don't have the book of Dorick. Its been missing for centuries." Giles frowns "No one in the Council knows where it is."
"OK then lets go through the Codex" Wesley suggests
**** The Cave ****
Minor R rating
"Dominick" Kieran cries sitting up her heart pounding in fear
"Kiera whats wrong?" Dominick asks wrapping his arms around her he rocks her "Its OK your safe. It was a dream" he soothes
Kieran laces their hands against her abdomen "It felt so real" she whimpers
"What Kieran? What felt so real?" he asks rocking her
"They...they were" she cries clutching him
"They were what?" he asks softly
"Hurting the baby." she sobs turning in his arms she hugs him tight burrowing into his neck "They were hurting our baby" she cries
"Shhh Kiera, It was a dream. Nothing will happen to our baby. I promise" he says kisses her hair "I promise."
"I could feel its pain as well as mine."
"Tell me about it baby" Dominick requests
Kieran closes her eyes tightly trying to remember her dream "You tried to keep them from taking me but they dragged me away after knocking you out." she sobs clinging to him
"I'm here sweetheart. Your safe" he soothes trying to keep his other half down
Kieran nods "I could feel the baby's fear. They were hurting us and I could hear you calling to me. I couldn't get to you"
"Look at me Kieran" he says fiercely tilting her face to his "Listen to me" he orders wiping away her tears "Nothing will happen to you or the baby. I swear I won't let it" he promises her kissing her tenderly "I won't allow anything to hurt you either of you."
Kieran breaks the kiss leaning her forehead against his she breathlessly demands "Make love to me"
"Kieran" he sighs uncertainly
"Please Dominick. I need this. I need you" she whispers kissing him gently "Please"
"Are you sure baby? I don't want to hurt you" he says hopefully yet uncertain "he could come back in control at anytime"
"Dominick he doesn't want to hurt me."
"How do you know?"
Kieran shrugs "I'm not sure I just know. Remember when Buffy told us that it sometimes seemed as though Angelus loved her. Maybe its the same with your other side."
"What makes you think he cares?"
"He had the chance to kill me twice tonight but he didn't. Please baby" she asks straddling his thighs "Its been three months" she reminds kissing him passionately "Three long months."
"Yeah they have been long" Dominick agrees kissing her
Kieran chuckles removing his shirt "You won't believe how horny being pregnant makes me" she smiles seductively kissing his neck "Mmmm you didn't have the tongue ring before"
"Mmm" he groans in pleasure his hands sliding under her top removing it quickly. "You look incredible" he says appreciatively "So beautiful" he smiles unsnapping her bra he caresses her breasts tenderly
Kieran moans grasping his his hair as he suckles at her slightly swollen breasts "Don't stop baby." she gasps "Never stop" she groans at the feeling of the ring circling her nipples
Dominick trails his lips down her body eliciting a moan of frustration. Chuckling he continues stopping at her abdomen he smiles at her tenderly "Our baby" he kisses her abdomen as he removes her pants and shoes. He looks over her naked body "You haven't changed much" he smiles lovingly
Kieran rolls her eyes "The doctor said I most likely won't show until my 5th or 6th month even possible later."
"I vaguely remember when Faith was pregnant with you. She didn't show much I pretty much remember one day drawn to her then the next I remember is seeing you just after you where born. Even then you were beautiful" he smiles kissing her
Kieran's hands go to his pants "Take 'em off" she demands frustrated
Chuckling Dominick removes his pants and immediately he thrusts into her "Shi..." he groans at her tightness
Kieran shrieks in pleasure at the feeling of him inside her "I've missed this" she sighs holding him tight "You feel so good" she gasps
Dominick smiles "I have too my love." he caresses her face as he slowly thrusts into her. "Kieran" he sighs in pleasure
The two concentrate on being together and nothing else. After making love they lay there holding each other tight "I need to go Kiera. He wants back in control." he sighs regretfully. He kisses her and then stands pulling on his clothes. "I'll see you later." he smiles sadly
Kieran nods "I know. Dom I need some money." seeing his questioning look she explains "I don't want to sleep at the mansion and the baby is getting hungry" she smiles faintly absently rubbing her abdomen
Dominick chuckles kneeling beside her he lightly touches her abdomen "We don't want that do we" he leans down and kisses her abdomen "Daddy loves you baby. And your mommy too." He smiles at Kieran then stands again reaching into his jacket pocket he hands her a bunch of cash. "Here. Go get some rest and find something to eat." he looks at Kieran seriously "Eat something healthy not just candy"
Kieran nods "Thanks" she smiles taking the cash and stands before him naked her hand against her belly. "Dominick?" she asks softly
"Yeah baby?" he asks turning around
Kieran looks down at her hand then shyly she looks at him " I love you"
Dominick smiles "I love you too. As always."
She watches as he leaves the cave "Come back soon baby" she whispers to herself
**** Next Afternoon ****
Kieran after having slept the night through awakens in the early afternoon and heads straight to Giles place. Knocking a moment later Xander opens the door she smirks at him looking over the sunglasses at the teen "Miss me?" she asks mockingly
"I was hoping last night was a dream but no not Xander's luck" Xander mutters in disbelief he moves away so Kieran can enter
"So how's good ol' research time?" Kieran asks hopping up on the counter she watches the tired people look towards her and grins "I take it you were looking for more on us"
Giles looks at her "So how was patrol?"
Kieran shrugs leaning back she grabs an apple off the counter "Dunno. I got a little sidetracked" she says taking a bite out of the apple
Anya smirks "Someone had sex"
Kieran rolls her eyes "OK you are exactly like I remember and if I did its none of your business. Anyway I did do a short patrol no one alive or undead were around."she frowns "I guess as long as I'm here I'll need to get used to low patrol" she sighs regretfully "That bites. I haven't had a good fight in a while." she then smiles faintly as she remembers all her fights with Dominick that ended in sex.
"Uh hello?" Buffy asks waving her hand "Earth to Kieran. Where are you?"
Kieran shakes herself out of her thoughts and looks at the Slayer "Sorry. I kinda have a tendency to short out"
"Just like Dear old Dad" Xander snickers
"Shut up Scrappy" growls Spike
Kieran chuckles "Yeah they always said I take after Spike too much" she muses taking a bite out of the apple
"So you and Dominick are half vampire." Giles states going straight to the topic
"Yup." she answers tossing the apple into the kitchen sink. Kieran walks to the table grabbing a book she flips through the pages "We're half vampire raised mostly human. Well Dominick was. I was raised by Spike. I'm more vampire in temper but Dominick is in characteristics" she puts the book back
"Temper?" Wesley inquires
Kieran nods picking up a knife she inspects it curiously. "Yep I have record longer than Faith and Buffy's put together. Dominick's isn't quite as long but that's because he spent most of the time saving my ass."
"You have a record?" Buffy asks surprised "How old are you?"
Kieran smirks "I'm 17. I turn 18 in 4 months. Dominick turns 22 in a month." she picks up another book "I have a record nonetheless. Starting when I was 14." she shakes off her memories
"What happened?" Tara asks cautiously
"I don't think that we should discuss the future" Wesley says cautiously. The others glare at the ex-Watcher. "It could change the future" he explains
Kieran shakes her head "It won't. When we return home all you will remember is that two people named Dominick and Kieran."
"So why tell us?" Buffy demands "We won't remember so what's the use"
"It'll help us figure out a way to restore Dominick" Angel nods to Kieran "Go ahead"
"Uh Drusilla brought me back to Sunnydale when I was eleven." Seeing the questioning looks she explains "Faith died not long after I was born. Spike disappeared for a while and I lived with Buffy and Angel for the next year. After returning to Sunnydale on my first birthday ended up moving to London. For the next 10 years we rarely ever stayed anywhere longer than a year people would be getting suspicious why you weren't getting any older. By the time I was ten you thought it would be easier if I just called you Spike. No more having to explain why a ten year old was calling you Dad." she glances at Spike "You were killed by some Tarakans. Funny huh you called them out on Buffy and they were later called on us." she turns her attention back to roaming the room. "We had been visiting Dru in Prague at the time. Which just so you know she becomes more sane by the time Dom and I are born. Dru brought me back to Sunnydale to Buffy and Angel. The Tarakans followed killing all but Tara within the next few years."
"So I take it you were seen as the town trouble-maker?" Buffy asks
"More than." Kieran chuckles "Dominick always called me the town terror. By the time I showed up the town was a little leery of the people living in the mansion. I started fights when ever anyone pissed me off which was all the time. Got arrested for assualt, public disturbance, vandalism, a few drunken brawls, jackin' cars" she shrugs " Within weeks the whole town was scared of me. It was fun."
"And you weren't ever arrested?" Xander asks
"Oh I was but like I said the Council wanted me around. All charges against me would be dropped. When I was 16 Angel started getting suspicious of why no matter what I did I was never in jail longer than a few hours. Found out the Council had made a deal with the Initiative."
"What sort of deal?" Wesley asks
"Oh that they would help the Council track demons as long as they left me and Dominick alone."
"And do they?" Giles asks
"Most the time. They tried to grab us a few times but they learned pretty quick that we don't do well to being seperated."
"But you said you lived in Europe for ten years" Willow reminds
"Yes but like I said Wes and Giles had to reconnect with the Council when I was two. Originally you had no clue about the prophecy until I was around 2 and Dominick was 7. One of Spike's old friends found out about the contract on us. I was injured pretty bad. Blood and broken bones. At the same time in Sunnydale out of nowhere Dominick had broken bones and was bleeding. Our injuries were exactly the same."
"Wow" Xander says
Kieran leans against the wall "So when Spike called and told Buffy and Angel what happened to me he found out the exact same thing happened to Dom minus the whole kidnapping thing."
"And knowing Giles once Buffy told him he began researching" Willow muses
"Watcher dudes to the rescue. Anyway after finding the prophecy you joined us in London. Stayed there until Dominick and I learned to control our link. So when I was 8 you returned to Sunnydale and Spike and I stayed in, at that time, Italy."
"This is freaky" Xander states with a groan
"No shit" Kieran mutters fiddling with another knife
"So how did we all die?" asks Willow
Kieran stiffens then answers "Sorry. You already know enough about the future as it is." she closes her eyes trying to block the memories "Besides its better if you don't know."
"I want to know" whines Xander
Kieran shakes her head "No Xander you don't"
"Did I have a painful death?" he asks worried
"Dunno I wasn't around." Kieran answers
"Kieran how did Dominick manage to come back in time?" Giles asks changing the subject
Kieran sits on the floor and leaning back on her hands she begins the story of the last few days at home "The night Dominick disappeared I had a visit from a sorcerer. The sorcerer confirmed what I had already known...that Dominick's demon had surfaced. The sorcerer informed me he was sending Dominick back in time but he didn't say why"
"And you followed" Buffy says
Kieran nods "Yes. He is the only family I got left. Tara found a spell that could send me back here and return us to our proper time. Now all I have to do is get Dom back to normal" she swallows a wave of nausea as she remembers that night.
"We should begin to research" Wesley suggests and the group begins to research how to return Dominick to normal
