"What?" Connor asked in shock still not comprehending what Tom had just said.

"Connor, I, I couldn't tell you. You hate Max and I'd already broken up with him. You're the first person I've told. I think Uncle Lorne knows because he read me, but no one other than the doctor has talked about it. It was stupid and wrong and at least now you know. Well I guess miracle children having a miracle child was going to be out of the question anyway."

"Do you think I care about any of that? Tom, I wasn't thrilled about you and Max. Okay I was ready to rip his eyes out, but we're together now and nothing you can say will change how I feel about you. I mean we are meant to be together, we're bonded. Nothing is every going to separate us, I won't let it."

"Sangre de mi Corazon. That's what my dad calls it. It's a connection between two vampires when they drink of each other."

"See"

"And every time something horrible happens to the couple."

"Isn't that like the motto of every relationship in Sunnydale?"

"Yeah. You sure we can beat it?"

"Of course."

"Then I guess I can spend a day in the Louver."

"And afterwards I'll make it up to you for being bored all day. Hey it's getting cold for December, I better get you inside."

"Nah I kind of like it out here, besides I can sense Mom and Aunt Faith coming."

"Oh," said Connor letting go of her.

"Well I didn't say they were here yet." She smiled kissing him. "Thank you for not thinking I'm some kind of horrible person."

"I could never think that. A little insane, but never horrible."

"So kids, what did you do tonight?" Buffy asked as she and Faith walked up to them.

"We plan the Paris itinerary." Tomorrow shrugged leaning into Connor and feeling his arms still around her. "I think planning the rest of the trip is going to be a lot easier. It just takes a little compromise, patience, and understanding."
