She held the baby in its carrier tightly in one hand and a bag filled with
all their stuff in the other. She stood in front of the door pondering what
to do. She put the baby who was sleeping peacefully on the ground beside
her and knocked on the door. She heard someone running down the stairs and
watched as the lovable red head's door flew open. She smiled and Willow
stood there gaping at her.
She put her hand up and said "What can I say, I couldn't wait". Willow flung herself into Buffy's arms who immediately hugged her back. "Oh my gosh you actually came back, I was so worried you wouldn't, I mean not that you wouldn't but you know you could have and then Faith would have had to patrol in her condition and that isn't a good thing because that could hurt Dawn."
Buffy stopped suddenly at the mention of the name Dawn and said "Who's Dawn?" Willow slapped her hand over her mouth and said "Oh you don't know I'm sorry but I kept you out of the loop because well for reasons. Dawn is Faith unborn child, she is 4 months along. Some prophecy predicted it so we know the sex, although it was weird because the prophecy said that a baby boy would be born first but not to who and the second would be a girl to the second slayer. Weird huh one half vampire and one half slayer meant to save the world though in the wrong hands can be its destruction."
Buffy stood in shock and Willow had yet to see the baby beside her. Buffy then managed out "Faith and who". Willow nodded and said "Oh this is the biggest part, and don't pity me I am kinda over it. Xander is the dad". Buffy muttered a "Wow", then tried not to look at Conner who she definitely didn't want Willow knowing the parentage of. She didn't want her son part of a prophecy so she figured she would just make something up.
She smiled at Willow and then said "So can we come in?" Willow looked confused and said "We?" Buffy smiled and looked pointingly at Conner who Willow suddenly noticed. She looked at Buffy then at Conner and said "Wh How huh?" Buffy smiled and said "This is Conner. My son". Willow's eyes widened and she said "Your son?" Buffy smiled lovingly as she looked at him and said "Yeah my son".
Willow bit her lip and said "So um who's the dad". Buffy shrugged and said "Some guy I met briefly after the Angelus incident. You know I was kind of vulnerable and all that." Willow said "Oh, You never said". Buffy said "Bit embarrassed, didn't want to you know, but at least I got this little guy out of it. So can we..." Willow jumped and said "Oh yeah of course Buffy, I am just a little surprised, I guess this explains why you haven't been here." Buffy nodded and picked Conner's seat up and Willow grabbed Buffy's other bag.
They went up to Willow's room and Willow sat everything next to the bag while Buffy went about preparing a nappy for Conner. She smiled gratefully at Willow and said "He's going to wake up soon so I got to do this before he cries." Willow nods and says "How old is he?" Buffy grins and says "3 days old" Willow's eyes widen again and looks at Buffy's figure and says "Wow you sure don't look like you gave birth three days ago". Buffy shrugged and said "Slayer healing you got to love it." Willow looked down at the baby that was beginning to stir and said "He's so tiny, he looks like you". Buffy smiled and bent to pick him up carefully and said "Yeah well he is half me you know." She laid him on the blanket she set and before Willow could say a word and before the baby started crying she had taken off the nappy and put on a fresh one. Willow laughed and said "You're just the regular mom aren't you?" Buffy smiled and said "I took some classes and once he arrived it just seemed easy you know?" Willow nodded and then looked down and said "I missed you Buffy". Buffy sat next to her and held Conner in one arm who was now wide eyed (for a newborn) and put an arm around Willow.
She asked "you want to hold him?" Willow nodded and Buffy showed her how to hold him. She cradled him softly and cooed at him before looking at Buffy and said "Things are really different now aren't they?" buffy nodded and said "We can just take it to a new different, I mean who ever thought I would have a kid right." Willow nodded and said "Hey lets go shopping, the shops should be opening in half an hour due to your extreme earliness, I want to buy my new nephew some stuff."
Buffy laughed and gently took Conner back off Willow and said "This your way of saying I need to face the music Aunty Will" Buffy smirked and said "You know me too well". Buffy smiled and said "I know you have probably been dying to tell everyone since the moment I got here" Willow shrugged in a so what fashion before grabbing her purse and cell.
Buffy grabbed the stroller that Willow brought in with her bags and also the nappy bag and her wallet before heading down the stairs. She had put Conner in the stroller and the bag in the back and they were heading off down the street within 5 minutes of the suggestion.
Willow was pushing the stroller and Buffy was just happy being home and walking about without a stomach. Buffy turned to Willow and said "Hey did I tell you how I went into labor." Willow shook her head and Buffy continued "Well I had just walked out of the gym and was on my way home when this idiot of guy barrels into me knocking me over and causing the baby to kick in panic which caused my water to break. I felt the pain but didn't register the water so I got up and this guy had the nerve to..." (They were interrupted by Xander who didn't recognise Buffy due to her being behind Willow and he could only see a bit of blonde). "Hey Will who's baby?" Buffy froze and grabbed Willow's hips and hid behind her. Willow said "Um Xander this is Conner, he's a close friends". Xander was making baby noises and stopped and said "He is really cute; you think Dawn will be this cute when she is born?" Willow said "She will be adorable Xander you know that?" Xander didn't say anything but he noticed someone hiding behind Willow. "Um Will you know there is someone behind you right?" Willow nodded and Xander said "Well you going to introduce us." Buffy sighed and said "You don't need introductions?
Xander went pale when Buffy came from behind Willow and said "Hey Xander so I hear congrats is in order."
She put her hand up and said "What can I say, I couldn't wait". Willow flung herself into Buffy's arms who immediately hugged her back. "Oh my gosh you actually came back, I was so worried you wouldn't, I mean not that you wouldn't but you know you could have and then Faith would have had to patrol in her condition and that isn't a good thing because that could hurt Dawn."
