CHAPTER THREE
Just like her sisters Micheala walked towards the apartment where her husband lives. She'd heard from her mum that he was a watcher. She'd heard of slayers before, but didn't approve of their skills. She would always see it as killing people.
She stood in front of the door and suddenly a warm feeling came over her. She felt her children, they were also inside. She knocked on the door. Could she be this lucky?
Tara noticed that Anya was gone and was about to mention it to the others, when someone knocked on the door.
Rupert went to open the door and saw Micheala, his wife, standing there smiling. They hugged and after several minutes he invited her into his home.
"Alex" Micheala said, seeing her oldest son and running to him. She hugged Alex, kissing him all over his face. She held his face and smiled at him. "I missed you so much" she said to him. Alex began crying and put his arms around her waist.
"W..What did you d.do? W..Why is Alex c..crying? Let him go you...you..." stuttered William, not wanting his older brother to cry.
"Hello little one. Haven't seen you for a long time. Your attitude hasn't changed a bit. You're still very protective about your brother" Micheala told William.
William was stunned. His mum was standing in front of him. "Mum?" he slowly asked. And then Micheala had two pair of arms wrapped around her.
And for the second time that day a green glow surrounded the men. Slowly the green glow disappeared around Rupert and a much younger looking Rupert Giles was standing in front of them. Micheala smiled at him and kissed him. The kiss deepened until they heard William and Alex' voices.
"Mum, my pants are falling off" William tried grabbing his pants. "Mine too" his brother said. After a few minutes the green glow was completely gone and there before them stood two little boys.
William in his t-shirt, his pants pooled around his too big boots and his leather coat around his small shoulders. Alex pointed at his brother and began laughing at him. William's lip began to tremble and his eyes teared up. William looked at his mum.
"Alex stop laughing at your brother and look down" Micheala told her oldest son.
The teary eyes and the trembling lip disappeared as soon as William saw his brother's surprised face. Alex was standing there, head down, with his jeans stuck on his shoes and his sweater hanging just above his feet.
"Mummy, I am 6 again. Can I have a fun childhood now?" Alex asked his mum. Micheala was stunned. She looked at Rupert then at Willow.
"Willow, what does he mean by that?"
"His parents always beat him for no apparent reasons" Willow answered.
"Yes Alex, you will have a childhood full of love" Micheala said, looking at her son. In her thoughts she was already planning to punish the Harrises. Micheala then noticed that all the girls were silent.
