Chapter 25/Epilogue : Into The Future
"Thanks Will, you're a life-saver" Buffy smiled as she hugged her sister, "There's just so much to do to get this house straight"
"It's no big" the red-head shrugged, "Moving homes is always a major thing and I had nothing else to do anyway. Besides it's always fun when we get to spend time together, isn't honey?" she bent down to address the small child she had just dropped off.
"I like it when Auntie Willow picks me up from school Mommy" Jenny nodded, "And Uncle Oz is funny" she giggled.
Buffy smiled at her daughter, before turning back to Willow and saying goodbye.
Jenny ran into the living room as soon as Willow had left, dumping her school bag and then following her mother into the kitchen where her father was half under the sink tryling to fix the plumbing.
"Hey Dad" Jenny grinned at him and he momentarily extracted himself from the cupboard to reply.
"So, how was your first day back?" Buffy asked her daughter as the seven year old struggled to pull herself up onto a stool.
"It was cool" Jenny told her as she was given a lift up onto the seat "A couple of new kids started today, I made friends with them"
"That's nice, pet" Spike smiled as he finally finished what he was doing with the pipe-work "What are their names?" he asked as he got to his feet, wiping his hands on a rag.
"Cindy and Britney" Jenny told her parents through a mouthful of cookie "they look exactly the same cos they're twin sisters, and they have the same birthday and everything"
"Well, it's good that you made two new friends" Buffy said quickly, sharing a glance with Spike. They both had a nasty feeling that...
"Mommy, how come you and Auntie Willow are sisters born on the same day but you don't look the same?"
...that the very question that Jenny just asked would be mentioned. Spike couldn't help but smile as he walked past his daughter, dropping a kiss on her head as he went, exiting the room as fast as he could.
Buffy sighed, shooting him a look as he disappeared.
She could say Willow was only her sister because of Spike, which would be half true, or she could say that not all twins are identical, which would also be accurate, 'but no' Buffy told herself 'it's only fair to tell her the real truth' she realised.
"Well, baby, it's kind of a long story..." she said, taking the stool on the opposite side of the counter and sitting down to have a long talk with her daughter, distractedly thinking to herself;
'Here we go again!'
