"Be careful." Angel said.
"I will," She kissed his cheek, grabbing her bookbag from his grasp and slung it over her shoulder.
"Call me when you arrive," he said.
"I will, Angel." Buffy replied, looking into his dark eyes.
"FINAL BOARDING CALL FOR FLIGHT 668 LOS ANGELES TO BOSTON." An anouncer said.
"That's me." she tried to smile.
Buffy hugged him once more, tightly, then left, jogging to the gates; not even looking back.
"There she is," Faith smiled, pointing to a blonde coming in through the gates. "There's Buffy!"
Erin nodded. Hope cocked her head in the usual confused way.
"B!" Faith hollered. Buffy saw her and walked over. She hugged her Slayer Sister and grinned.
"Hey, Faith." She said.
"Erin, Hope, this is Buffy;" Faith introduced. "She's the good Slayer."
"Hi Good Slayer," Hope waved. "Wait, does that make you bad?"
Erin had left them, taking Hope out for an afternoon walk.
Faith and Buffy had stayed behind, sitting in the great room, chatting away.
"So, how have you-"
"Good." Faith said. "You?"
"Peachy, only, since it's fall, I guess...apple-y?" Buffy said. They both chuckled a little.
"So, what's the scoop. Why do you need me?" Buffy asked.
"I have a problem." She swallowed hard. "Remember when I came to Sunnydale? The first time?" Buffy nodded.
"Well, I had come from Missouri, duh. My watcher, Erin's husband was killed. But before I left, I had a baby girl.
I was only 17, so what was I going to do with a kid?"
"So you gave her to Erin, and Erin named her Hope." Buffy finsihed for her.
"Yeah." Faith looked down. "But now I want her back."
"Taking a child away from it's mother is just-" Buffy argued.
"I know!" Faith said. I'm just ready to have her back. I have an apartment with you, safe, all la-de-da; I am more responsible-" Buffy gave
her a 'Yeah, right' look. "It's just...every morning I woke up and I would picture the sleeping baby that had once slept in my arms."
"Okay, well, it's wrong." Buffy said, sitting back.
"Whatever, B." Faith sighed.
"I will," She kissed his cheek, grabbing her bookbag from his grasp and slung it over her shoulder.
"Call me when you arrive," he said.
"I will, Angel." Buffy replied, looking into his dark eyes.
