Authors Note: Buffy Summers is your typical sixteen year old with a happy family and the attention of her crush. What will happen when Buffy finds out that she may not be the girl she thought she was.

Authors Note: This idea comes from the 'The Face on the Milk Carton' Books by Caroline B. Cooney( a wonderful author, and I would recommend every single one of her books!!). There are times I may use ideas from the book or movie version, but most of the time I am going to try to just use the basic idea.

Authors Note 2: This idea is one of the many ideas that have been playing around in my head for a while and I finally have the time to work on it.

Distributions: What it take it, just let me know!!!!!!

Part 15

"So you're coming home this weekend?" Angel asked early Friday morning as he talked to Buffy over the phone. When she had called him five minutes ago, the first words out of her mouth were that she was coming home. To say he was happy did not describe how he felt. It had only been a month since he had seen her, but he had missed her terribly.

"Yeah, Mrs. Summers is bringing me down on Sunday, and then I'll visit them every other weekend." Buffy informed him. She and her biological parents had sat up last night after the others had gone to bed and talked about visits, and what not. "My Mom, the one here, said that she would give me my birth certificate so I could have it, when I need it." she went on.

"Your Mom, huh?" smiled Angel. He was glad to see that Buffy was beginning to come to terms with her other family. It was best for her and everyone else in the end if both her families knew she cared for them and they for her.

"Yeah," relented Buffy brushing golden lock behind her ear, "it feels right to call Mrs. Summers that now. Mr. Summers I am still iffy about calling him Dad, but that is probably because I haven't been around him as much as my Mother so..." she rambled on. "I figured when I am talking about the Summers I'll refer to them as Mother and Father, and when I talk about the Giles, I'll continue to call them Mom and Daddy." Buffy reasoned aloud, waving at Emily who had just walked into the room.

"Sounds like a plan." Angel said, sitting down at his desk chair. "How are your sisters and brother doing?" he questioned waving at his own little sister as she walked into his room.

"Emily is in the room now, Dawn is off at one of her friends, and Spike is somewhere in the house." she answered handing Emily the phone book she was asking for.

"When you get home on Sunday, do you want to do something?" inquired Angel waving at Willow, Molly, and Xander who just walked into his room as well.

"Yeah, if my Giles' family doesn't have plans." Buffy answered. In a way, she hope her mom and dad didn't because she wanted to see Angel again and spend time with him ,on the other hand, she hadn't seen her family in the last month either so.

"Sounds like a plan." Angel agreed. "I have to go, Tara needs the phone, but I'll be waiting on your front step Sunday to welcome you home." Angel promised, anxiety for it to hurry up and be Sunday was a constant companion. "I love you." he said.

"I love you too." returned Buffy. "I'll see you Sunday, and I expect big kisses." played Buffy.

"Lots!" vowed Angel before hanging up the phone.

"Elizabeth, do you want to go on the water slide?" asked Dawn later that day as the Summer family walked through Fun Plex, the local water park.

"Count me in." declared Buffy adjusting her base ball cap.

"That's a cute bikini." commented Emily indicating Buffy's black and periwinkle bikini she wore under her Old Navy shorts baby-t.

"Thanks, yours is cute too." Buffy returned, indicating her older sister's red one piece. "My friend Willow has one something like that. She has a thing against wearing anything that shows her belly." Chatted Buffy as she followed Emily and Dawn into the water slide line.

"I burn easy," explained Emily, "so the thought of exposing more skin to burn, is not that appealing." tightening the pony tail holder in her long golden blonde hair.

"Wow!" Dawn exclaimed, watching the ride they were about to get on splash down into the water below them. "This is going to be so cool." she told her two big sisters. She liked this, her whole family together laughing. Something she hadn't seen in such a long time, and it was thanks to Elizabeth being back in their lives. Sure, Elizabeth wasn't going to live with them exactly, however, she was still going to be there for Dawn to see anytime she wanted. In fact, Elizabeth told her she could come down and stay with her when ever she like.

Buffy smiled at her two sisters. This whole month had been a huge adjustment. At last, it finally felt like a good adjustment. She had started out worried that her life was going to change for the worst. Yet, it turned out her life had changed for the better because now she didn't just have one family that loved her, she had two. For that she felt very blessed.

"Our turn." Dawn called as the boat came over to them.

"Let's do it!" encouraged Buffy getting into the boat followed by Emily.

The boat started and the fun began, but it didn't end until late in the evening when everyone was so tired it was a fight to keep their eyes open
