"Violet" Willow repeated as Xander walked into the Training Room where Willow, Tomorrow, Connor, and the Vampire were.

"What about Violet sweetie." Xander kissed Willow. "She's actually sleeping. Can you believe it, she keeps us up for the past week, and she falls asleep at Brian's Marking? Speaking of which, everyone's kind of wondering what's keeping you back here. Buffy said she felt sick and took off home. What's going on?"

"Nothing Uncle Xander," Tomorrow informed him, "Just a case of mistaken identity and untrusting childes. I better go see how mom's doing." She said as she left.

"That was basically my cue that I have to run after her." Connor informed them as he left. "Look Tom, I'm sorry, but it's not like you're the most honest person. I mean you just told Uncle Xander that a vampire who thinks he slept with his daughter is nothing."

"I lie to protect people from truths that maybe too painful for them to bear."

"Yeah, and not telling me about sleeping with a guy would fall under that category."

"Connor, I may have some serious abandonment issues, but you are so scared of me cheating it is unbelievable. I had sex with Max once, when I was dating him, and I never plan to date anybody else but you. I am not going to cheat on you, especially not with a vampire. I maybe my mother's child, but both boyfriends I've had have been human when I started dating them, they just got mixed up in my crazy life and came out differently."

"Hey, Max and I have never regretted the time we've spent with you. We wanted to be included in your life. Are you ready to go back inside?"

"Yeah, I just need to call mom and explain what happened."

^^^^^^^^^^^

"The vampire thinks he had sex with the baby." Anya informed them as they walked back inside.

"Anya, will you please stop saying that" Willow exclaimed from the place on the floor where she was trying to wake an unconscious Xander. "If you keep saying it, he'll never wake up."

"So are we ever going to start the ceremony?" Cordy asked.

"Mom's on her way back. She seems to be feeling much better." Tomorrow informed them, "But we can start without her."

Peter, who had driven in that night, stood up and began the ceremony.
