Everyone could tell that Emily was scared. Anya held her close, feeling her heart pound against hers. Emily twiddled with Anya's hair nervously, glancing out of the window of Buffy's car every so often. Once they pulled up into the driveway Anya released Emily as she got out of the car. As soon as they were all standing in the driveway, Emily scrambled back up into Anya's arms. Buffy unlocked Giles door and walked in with Willow, Anya, and Emily. Nicky and Alex both grabbed ahold of Xander's arms and held him back outside with them.
"What is it guys?" Xander squatted down to the twins height. That was one of the reasons Nicky and Alex chose Xander over anyone else to talk to.
"Xander, why is Emily staying here with us?" Nicky asked.
"Well because Emily knows some things about Drusilla and Spike."
"Is it bad to know stuff about them?" Alex asked. Xander shook his head.
"No, but we need to try and establish everything we can right now." Nicky and Alex glanced at each other. Then Nicky took a deep breath and looked Xander in the eyes.
"We've seen her Xander," he said.
"Who?" Xander asked his heart pace quickening.
"Silla. Nicky and I saw her the other night when Daddy made us go to bed after we waited for Buffy. She told us we needed to find Rose and we got really scared. She told us Rose was her daughter," Alex looked like he wanted to cry, re-living the events of the other night.
Xander huddled Nicky and Alex closer to him.
"What else did she tell you?" he found himself whispering.
"Alex asked her how she had Rose. We told her vampires aren't upposed to have babies like real people," Nicky looked at his brother and Alex continued.
"She told us that she got very hungry one night and went out to look for some dinner. She says this man was walking down the sidewalk and she took him back to her underground house where she lived with Spike."
"Then they...you know made a baby," Nicky said.
"She told us that she was different from other vampires. That she...," Alex seemed to be thinking very hard to remember what Drusilla had told him and his brother.
"No," Nicky corrected.
"She said it was the Daddy. She said that the Daddy of her baby was attracted to weird things. She told us one time he liked this bug lady. Silla said that because the Daddy had liked weird things before they were able to make a baby."
"Yeah but they only could on a full moon," Nicky said.
"The moon was full that night, but Silla didn't know that," Alex said. He reached out and touched Xander's hand gently. He had begun shaking slightly and Alex was really sensitive to other peoples insecurities.
"She told us a secret," Nicky said.
"A big secret," Alex agreed.
"Member when Daddy told you and Buffy and Willow that Silla killed the Daddy after they made the baby?" Xander nodded slightly.
"She didn't," Nicky breathed.
"She let the Daddy go."
