"Why don't we actually go to bed now? All I really need is an hour of
sleep and I can go all day and night again." Charli mumbled.
"Just don't run off this time." Spike smiled. He picked Buffy up off the ground and laid her on the couch. "Maybe sooner or later she'll come around."
"Good night. Wake me up in an hour." Charli told Spike as she led Conner upstairs holding his hand. They went into Angel's room and went to sleep.
"I think they make a cute couple." Angel smiled putting his book on the table and getting up.
"Yeah," Spike actually agreed with Angel for once. He sat on the floor next to Buffy as Angel got up and went into a spare bedroom to go to sleep. Eventually Spike fell asleep on the floor next to the Slayer. About an hour later…
Buffy squirmed a little on the couch, she rolled over falling off the couch and landing on Spike. They both instantly woke up, "Are you okay?" Spike asked.
"Fine, but where am I?" Buffy questioned him.
"On the floor in Angel Investigations, laying on top of me." Spike smirked.
Buffy rolled her eyes and got back onto the couch. "Spike, were you joking about all that us having a daughter stuff?" Buffy sighed.
"No, it's all real. I know it's hard for us but at first I didn't think it was possible either, but the more I talk to her the more I see both of us in her." Spike explained sitting up.
Angel came walking down the stairs with the phone up to his ear and a Demon Guide in his hands. "So it had long sharp talons, fire-y breath, a devil looking tail and big pointy fangs?" Angel asked. He flipped through a few pages in the book. "What was it after?" Angel said into the phone. "Charli and Conner? Okay, well be over here as soon as you can. Bye." Angel hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Spike asked.
"Cordy had a vision, she whatever it is it's after our kids. That feels weird." Angel sighed putting the phone on its base.
"What feels weird?" Spike asked.
"Saying our kids," Angel replied flipping through a few more pages in the book. "Maybe this is it, Arsenic Demon, it's got the fire thing, fangs, a devil tail and some talons." Angel said as he stared at the picture.
"I've killed one of those before," Buffy told Angel as she looked over his shoulder at the picture.
"How do I kill it?" Angel ask looking up at Buffy.
"Anything through the heart will work, except a stake that gives it more power." Buffy explained. "When did Cordelia say it was coming?"
"Tonight, in the park." Angel replied closing the book.
"Are we going to go kill it?" Spike asked getting off the floor and onto the couch beside Buffy.
"No we are going to let it kill Charli and Conner and then burn Angel Investigations down." Angel sarcastically told Spike.
"Right." Spike rolled his eyes at Angel as he walked up the staircase. He knocked on Angel's bedroom door. "Charli! Time to get up!" Spike yelled.
"Who named her Charli?" Buffy asked Angel. Angel shrugged, and Spike walked back down the stairs with Charli and Conner following.
"Charli isn't my whole name." Charli smiled as she stepped off the last stair.
"How did you hear me?" Buffy asked.
"I'm good." The sixteen-year-old Slayer smiled.
"So what is your whole name?" Buffy asked.
"Charlize Ariana, what's my last name?" Charli asked Spike.
"Summers."
"Charlize Ariana Summers." Charli replied to her unbelieving mother. "Holtz named me, I think." Charli told them. "Angel, about this Arsenic demon. You can't expect me not to have heard you, and I'm not going to let you, Spike, or Buffy get themselves killed because of me. I know you know I can take that thing." Charli replied. She walked over to the front door and opened it just as Cordelia was about to knock. "Hi Cordelia." Charli smiled.
'She smiles just the way Spike does when he thinks he right.' Buffy thought.
"Um, Hi. Angel can we talk?" Cordy asked. Angel nodded and they went into Wesley's old office.
"I'm gonna kill that thing tonight and there are going to be no buts about it." Charli said shutting the door.
"You can't take it, you are just a human. I'm the Slayer and I could barley kill it." Buffy protested.
"Daddy must have left out the part where he was supposed to say, 'Oh yeah, she's the Slayer." Charli said.
"What do you mean, didn't he tell you about me?" Buffy asked looking at Spike.
"No, he didn't tell you about me." Charli replied.
"How?" Buffy wondered.
"Other dimensions have Slayers too." Charli laughed. Buffy gave her a confused look, "I sound like a TV commercial." Spike laughed too.
"I have a strange family." Buffy smiled. "Charli, I guess since you are my daughter and all I think you should meet my little sister."
"My Aunt?" Charli asked as she slowly stopped laughing.
"Dawn, she is fifteen. A year younger than you right?" Buffy asked.
"Umm yep." Charli smiled at Conner, who was trying his best to keep a straight face. "When do I get to meet her?" Charli asked.
"Soon, are you going to come back to Sunnydale with me when I go back in a couple of days?" Buffy asked.
"I live in L.A., I have ever since I was fourteen. I'd never leave." Charli said as she put her arm around Conner. "They are talking about us in there." Charli whispered to Conner.
"I know." He replied. Buffy stood up and went into the kitchen to call Xander.
"Hello?" Came Xander's voice from the other line.
"Hi, it's me. I just wanted to let you know that everything is okay. But I want you to bring Dawn out here today." Buffy explained.
"Why?" Xander ask.
"It's a really long complicated story and I'll tell you when you get here." Buffy replied.
"Okay, Bye Buffy."
"Bye Xander." Buffy hung up the phone and walked back into the main room to find Spike, Charli and Conner on the couch laughing with a familiar man standing in the doorway.
"Just don't run off this time." Spike smiled. He picked Buffy up off the ground and laid her on the couch. "Maybe sooner or later she'll come around."
"Good night. Wake me up in an hour." Charli told Spike as she led Conner upstairs holding his hand. They went into Angel's room and went to sleep.
