"Mommy," Thea called. It was late at night and she was supposed to be
trying to go to sleep.
"What's up, sweetie?" Buffy looked up from her book on Swedish grammar.
"I want help the vampire and his friends," she announced.
"How did you know about that?" Buffy patted on the bed, inviting her daughter to jump up next to her.
"Leah and Alanna were telling me all the nasty things that the nasty company do," Thea explained. "They also said that the company was expecting a young French girl who has special powers tomorrow."
"And.." Buffy did not like where this conversation was going.
"J'ai parles francais (I speak French)," the little girl shrugged. "Et j'ai suis petit et fort (and I'm little and strong)."
"Non(No)," Buffy shook her head. "Tu est ne risqer tu vivacite pas! (You are not risking your life!)"
"Mais mere (But Mom!")"
"Non mais (No buts.)" Just then there was a knock on the door. "Come in."
"J'ai ne savoir pas tu parles fracais (I didn't know that you spoke French.)" Angel said as he entered the room.
"I gotta learn all the languages," Buffy shrugged. "Downside of the job."
"True." Angel nodded.
"So did you come up to ask me something or is my husband being too much of a pain to stand any longer?"
"Um...both really..." Angel kept looking over at Thea.
"Sweetie, why don't you go down and tell your Dad to start acting nice." Thea jumped of the bed and went wondering down the hallway in search for her father.
"I couldn't help over hearing what you were talking about," Angel said, quite uncomfortably.
"The answers still no, if that's what you were going to ask me."
"I thought so, but it would be a really big help-"
"You have a son of your own, Angel," Buffy said. "You know how I feel."
He shock his head. "You see, I sent Connor in there when he was younger, before we knew about the heat sensors. He saw things, things that have the possibility to destroy the world."
"Destroy? As in completely?"
"Completely," Angel answered.
Buffy sat in thought for a few minutes. She didn't really want Thea to go into this evil law firm but if it helped save the world and Thea wanted to go. Then maybe.
"Ok," she nodded slowly. "But only if Thea is totally, 100 percent ok with it."
"Done," Angel nodded as he started to walk towards the door.
"I found Daddy!" Thea announced as she appeared from the lift, dragging Spike by the sleeve.
"What's up, sweetie?" Buffy looked up from her book on Swedish grammar.
