Chapter 6

"So you were married, huh B?" Faith asked after an awkward silence.

"Yeah for five years. He didn't know about my slaying and that sort of prevented me from really being open with him. In the end I realized that I didn't really love him with all my heart because I would never stop loving Angel. I felt that it wasn't fair to him and I felt like I was betraying Angel so I filed for divorce. Now he even refuses to see the kids, it's not really fair to them but it may be less confusing for them than having two dads."

"Just a minute you mean you're stinking around?"

"Yep you're stuck with me."

"good finally I have somebody my own strength to train with."

"Good to know I'm wanted," Buffy said sarcastically

"You are wanted, baby," Angel put his arm around her and giving her a kiss.

"Would you two save it for the bedroom," Cordy said.

"I'll agree with that one," Lizzie added.

"Sorry honey," Angel apologized, "Why don't you tell us how your first day of sixth grade went."

"Dad, do you really think I want to talk about school, right now?" Lizzie retorted.

"Would rather watch us kiss?" Buffy said.

"So anyways I think I'm really going to like computers," Lizzie began, "and I'm not saying that because my teacher is sitting at the table. My English teacher seems pretty nice too. I don't know about my math teacher though, he seems sort of mean. I mean he gave us three pages of homework on the first day. We chose out instruments in music today, I chose the tenor sax. I wanted to chose the baritone sax but my fingers couldn't stretch far enough apart. I meet the rest of my teachers tomorrow."

"I guess that answered out question. I guess when ever we want her to tell us anything all we have to do is start making out," said Buffy moving to sit on Angel's lap.

"Come on guys the PDAs are getting to be a little much," Willow said. Tara, Gunn, Theresa and Cordy nodded their heads in agreement.

"I hope they're not always like this," Lizzie whispered to Heather as Buffy slid off Angel's lap and back to her own chair.

"I hope so too for your sake," Heather answered.

"OK, change of subject. What's up with the rest of the Scooby gang?" Cordy piped up.

"Well Giles has taken on the new slayer Carrie. She's a pretty slow learner, hey who am I kidding she is a extremely slow learner, but I think she's finally ready to take on the whole responsibility. Anya and Xander got married, did it like bunnies and now have three kids. Xander is a foreman or something in the construction company and Anya is half owner of the magic shop. She takes care of it most of the time since Giles is spending most of his time with Carrie, the afore mentioned slow learner slayer. Dawn graduated a few years ago with a degree in journalism and is now working on a book or something while she works at the paper to keep her alive. Spike is, well, Spike. And obviously you know what's up with Wil and Tara. So your turn, what's been going on here?" Buffy explained.

"Well basically during the day we're a regular PI business and during the night we also take on demon cases. Some of them walk through the door and others we find through damn my visions," Cordy said.

"Yes, we've developed a good reputation in both fields and we've developed quite a network of contacts through our cases. If a client is not able to pay the bill then we arrange for them to be a contact if they can be of use to us."

"That's where I was tonight, meeting with a contact. By the way Angel, Simons says that the chaos demon is holed up in that old abandoned church on 5th and 132nd," Faith informed her employer.

"What is it with demons and that church?" Gunn asked, "I swear that's the 5th one this month"

"Excuse me, but when do you guys sleep?" Buffy asked.

"We take turns taking the night shifts unless it's a really nasty demon." Angel explained, "Speaking of night shift, who ever has first shift for patrol tonight better get moving, it's almost ten, the malls are closing soon."

"Going," Gunn said grabbing his jacket.

"See ya later Buffy," Cordy said as she got up and followed Gunn out of the room.

"Cordy patrols?!" Buffy exclaimed after the pair had left.

"Yes in the past years she has become quite a proficient fighter." Wesley answered.

"Speaking of it almost being ten, you better to get to bed young lady." Angel said to his daughter

"Aw Dad, come on Mom's here."

"Your mother with still be here tomorrow. And I'm still waking you up for training in the morning so I suggest you get some sleep. Go. I'll be up in a bit to say good night"

"Training?" Buffy asked partly confused and partly scared as to what it meant.

Lizzie simply pulled up her sleeve to reveal the birthmark, the destined her to become a slayer, before leaving the room.

"You too, Heather" Wesley said looking to his daughter.

"Night Daddy." She said as she kissed him on the cheek and followed her best friend out of the room.

When the kids were gone Buffy turned to Angel, "Our daughter's going to be a slayer?!"
