Buffy sat up; stretching her arms above her head and looked at the clock. '9:47?!?! I am late for school!!' Buffy jumped up out of bed and run out of her room, looking for her mother. She looked in her mother's bedroom, and her bathroom. When she didn't find her, Buffy when down stairs to look for her.

"Mom! Where are you?" Buffy called as she came down the stairs.

"I'm in here Buffy" Joyce answered from the kitchen.

Buffy came into the kitchen to see her mother still in her morning rode, which was weird because Joyce Summers would never be seen in her morning rode after 6:30 am, unless she was dying ill even then she would stay in her room.

"Mom? Why didn't you wake me up? I am two hours late for school!" Buffy cried.

"Buffy I think we both need a day off from our lives, don't you?" Joyce said, smiling at her daughter.

"I like the way you think Mom" Buffy said sitting down next to her mother at the breakfast table.

"Well there is another reason why I let you stay home today Buffy. There are some things I want to talk to you about and some of them may be a little hard for you to deal with. And no matter what I want you to tell me the true." 'OK I can do this just tell her the truth and hope that she don't hate you for it.'

Buffy began to get a little scared about what her mother was going to tell her, "Ok Mom, I will. Are you ok? You aren't sick are you? And Dad? He is ok right?"

"Yes Buffy, we are both ok." 'That's my Buffy always think of others before her self.'

"Then what is it?"

"Honey, this is a little hard for me to tell you, but your father and I were not married when you were born. When I found out that I was pregnant with you, I didn't want your father to know because I knew that he would not be very happy about it. So I moved to the city for a month before he found me and convinced me to marry him."

"Why are you telling me this?" Buffy couldn't believe that HER mother, miss perfect, miss goody-two-shoes, was not married when she was born.

"Because I wanted you to know that I know what you are going through and I don't want any secrets between us." Joyce said, putting her hand on Buffy's shoulder.

Buffy thought that was a good time to tell one of her own secrets to her mother, "Mom, I also have something that want to tell you and it may be hard for you to understand."

"Its ok Dear, just tell me."

"Ok here it goes, Mom I am the Slayer" Buffy held her breath, waiting for her mother's reaction.

Joyce just smiled, "Like I didn't know that."

She couldn't believe what she just heard, "What? You knew? All this time and you knew and never told me?"

"Well it was not very hard to finger out. I mean, all the times I washed blood and ashes out of your cloths, all the times you snuck out and you thought I didn't know about it, please I am the mother I know every thing."

Buffy shook her head, "I can't believe you never told me you knew about this."

"Well I thought it was what you wanted, why you didn't come to me when you first found out, that it made you feel special or something. I didn't want to that away from you."

"OK, so you know all about vampires and demons then?" Buffy asked.

"I know that they are real and that there is a lot of them in Sunnydale. Why is that?"

"Hate to tell you this, Mom, but we moved to the Hell Mouth."

"The Hell Mouth?"

"Ya, it's right down the school. It's like this big power center thing for badies. Giles can tell you more then I can."

"Mr. Giles? He knows? And I take it your friends know to?"

"Yes, Giles know because he is my Watcher, you know the research guy or the slayer 's helper, that kind of thing. An yes Willow, Xander, Oz, and Cordy know."

"OK well at least every thing is in the open now." Joyce said, getting up from her set at the kitchen table.

"Mom," Buffy said stopping her mother from leave, "there is more."

"Really? Ok Buffy, I am all ears."

"You know how I told you about Angel?"

Joyce nodded.

"Well Angel is a vampire."

"WHAT? I thought you were meant to kill vampires not to.well you know." Joyce couldn't believe that Buffy, the slayer, had sex with a vampire!

"There is a lot more to the story then that, Mom. Well when Angel was first made into a vampire, he went by the name Angelus, and he was a real bad guy. He killed his whole family and everyone close to them. Well after about 160 years, he was cursed and got his soul back. And there was this whole thing where the Powers That Be destined him and I to meet and for him to help me out with all the slaying, I don't think they met for us to fall in love. But what we didn't know was when Angel found perfect happiness that he would his loose soul. And well he found it when we.umm...mmmade love. "

"So what you are telling me is that the father of my grandchild is a vampire?"

"Yes" Buffy nodded her head

"Oh my gods"

"That's not the worst part." Buffy said hoping that her mother was going to be able to handle what she was about to tell her.

"Oh no, what is it?"

"I am still in love with him."
