Chapter 2: Memories

Buffy was making supper for her and Dawn. Xander and Willow had asked her to play her song again.

"Please, please, please play it again," Willow had begged.

"Ya Buff, we can put Dawn in the playpen so she can dance along with us." Xander had said, trying to make her laugh.

"Haha Xand, very funny" Buffy had replied with a smile. She had played the song again and then they had to leave. Willow was meeting Oz and Xander was meeting Anya for supper.

Now Dawn was hungry, mad, crying and was getting annoyed. "Another day at the Summer's residence." Buffy thought bitterly. She was always thinking how unfair it had been, and still was when the doctors hadn't been able to stop the bleeding when Dawn was born. Giles, Buffy and now Dawn's stepfather , had taken over the art gallery when Joyce died. Buffy had realized he wasn't trying to be the same as Hank had been, ignoring them all the time. But Giles was still mourning Joyce and was spending most of his time at the gallery. He and Joyce had only spent a short time as a married couple, seven months. Joyce had gotten pregnant early, before Giles had proposed. Buffy had been dating Angel at the time and had broken up when they all found out there was going to be another member of the Summers- Giles family. Angel didn't like the idea of Joyce being 38 and pregnant. Buffy and him had had a huge fight over it and he dumped her. After one day without him, she realized she never told him how much she loved him. He had came to the funeral and Buffy went over to tell him that she was in love with him. He seen her and said, "Look, Buffy, I'm sorry about your mum. I have to go." She cried even more that night. "Time to get out of the past", she thought suddenly.

She fed Dawn and herself then went into the livingroom. She laid Dawn on her stomach and turned on the T.V. Angel's favorite show, "The Simpsons" was on and she instantly thought of him. "I have to talk to him." She changed and carried Dawn to the car.
