Buffy woke up to the smell of pancakes. She glanced over at her alarm clock, 9:16am. 'Who's up this early on a Sunday?' she thought, standing up and slipping on her slippers. 'What am I saying? Can I not smell that? Whoever's up this early on Sunday, I looooove.'
Quickly, she ran down the stairs, still in her pyjama's. When she got to the kitchen, she saw Dawn, Faith and Angel seated around the table, and Spike flipping pancakes at the stove.
"Morning sleepy head," Dawn said to Buffy.
"What time did everyone get up?" Buffy asked, taking a seat in between her sisters.
"Not too long ago," Angel said. "But earlier then you."
"So what? I like my sleep," Buffy said. "Sleep is good when you're a... Girl."
"'Ere you go luv," Spike said, placing a plate in front of her.
Buffy looked down at it and smiled. It was a pancake in the shape of a heart. He kissed her on the cheek before returning to the stove to clean up his mess.
"Isn't that nice of you William," Angel said. "How come I didn't get one?"
"Is there something you want to tell me?" Faith said, looking at Angel.
Angel smiled and leaned over and kissed her.
"Ew, eating," Dawn said. "If Darla has a baby, am I going to fall in love with him? Because I think we're all cursed..."
"Dawnie," Buffy said. "We're not cursed. Just in love. And besides, I think that'd be illegal. You're too old for a baby."
"But daddy loves Darla and she's younger then him by lots," Dawn said.
Faith laughed. "She makes a good point B."
"Daddy and Darla are adults... Somehow, the rules are... Bent for them," Buffy said. "But anyway. What are you doing today Dawnie?"
"Going over to Janice's house," she said, shoving a fork full of pancake into her mouth.
"Your new friend?" Buffy asked. "Do you need a drive?"
"She lives right across the street Buffy, I'm not challenged."
"Dawn," Buffy scolded.
"But I'm not," she said.
"I'll walk her over," Angel said. "Just to make sure she gets there safe."
Dawn sighed and laid back in her chair, crossing her arms.
"Change of subject..." Buffy said. "How's school Faith?"
"Are you really one to ask that B?" Faith said. "You're the one failing."
"I didn't mean it like that... Would you just stop holding this sla... Thing against me? It isn't my fault, okay? I'm sorry that you're offended Faith, but grow up!" Buffy yelled and walked out.
Faith looked from one person to the other, and stopped Spike from running after me. "This is my call," she said before leaving in the direction Buffy had.
Faith found Buffy upstairs in her room, flipping through a magazine. She walked over and sat down on the bed. Buffy didn't say anything to her, she didn't even acknowledge her presence.
"Now who's being immature B," Faith said.
"What do you want Faith?"
"To apologize... I know you probably think I don't know how. And I never gave you a reason not too... But I'm sorry. You know me B, I get like that... Jealous. Of you," she said. "Stupid, huh?"
"Yes, stupid," Buffy said. "But I understand where you're coming from I guess. Sometimes I can be a little jealous of you."
"Get out."
"I'm serious. You're so outspoken, you just... Dont' care," she said.
"And where does my not caring always get me? You're the responsible one B, it's just the way it's always been. You bail me out when I need bailing. You keep me under control."
"Is that possible?" Buffy laughed. "So are we okay now?"
"Yeah," Faith said, nodding. "We're okay."
Buffy was sitting in the living room of the house when she heard the door open. No one was home besides her. Dawn was over at Janice's, Faith and Angel had gone out to the Bronze, and Spike was gone to the store. None of them were due back for at least another half hour.
Standing up, she walked over to the door and was a little surprised when she saw her father coming in, carrying a suitcase.
"Dad, you're... Home," she said. "Why? You're not supposed to be home for another few days."
"Change of plans," he said. "Darla has some news. Where is everyone?"
"Um... They're out. What's wrong?" Buffy asked. "Is she okay?"
"Better than okay," Darla said, walking in. "But I want to wait till everyone's here to say anything."
"Oh, well... I don't know when they'll be back. Dawn's just across the street, I could run and get her... And I could call Spike's cell."
"And Angel?" Darla asked.
"Oh... Yeah, I can get him too," Buffy said.
"Could you? I'd really appreciate it sweetheart," Hank said.
"It can wait if it's too much trouble," Darla said. "I just really want to tell everyone."
"It's no problem. I'll be right back," Buffy said, before running out the door.
Spike, Angel, Dawn and Buffy were scattered around the living room waiting for Darla to share her 'oh so wonderful' news.
After Buffy had gotten Dawn, which had taken a lot of begging, she called Spike's cell, and then Angel. Faith was a little angry that her father was home so soon, she was hoping to have more time at the house with her family, but let Angel leave.
So now they sat, impatient and bored, waiting on Darla. She walked into the room, Hank behind her, a smile on both of their faces.
"We have some news," she said.
"Yeah, I believe we've already established that," Spike said.
Darla shook his comment off and continued. "Like I was saying, we have some news." She looked to Hank, then back at the small group. "I'm pregnant."
"What?" Buffy said, a little stunned. She had been suspicous of Darla since she'd seen her getting sick in the bathroom. But still, the news surprised her. "I mean... Wow, congratulations."
"Thank you Buffy," Darla said. "I know this is probably shocking news. But, me and your father are very happy."
"Are you two going to get married?" Angel asked, looking up. 'Please say no,' he thought. 'I can't love my own sister... Like that.'
"Well..." Darla said. "Not right yet, but..."
"In June," Hank said. "We're going to be wed in June."
"I think I'm gonna be sick," Dawn mumbled. "My sisters are in love with their own family."
"What was that Dawnie?" Hank said.
"She just said, wow, shocker," Buffy said, elbowing her little sister.
"Ow," Dawn said, rubbing her side.
"Spike, you're quiet," Hank said. "Don't you have some smart comment to make?"
"No... Too busy pondering," he said. 'Buffy's gonna be my cousin.'
"May I be excused?" Buffy asked, standing up. "I think I need some air."
"Of course," Hank said.
Buffy walked over to Darla and smiled, hugging her. "Congratulations again," she said, before heading up the stairs.
Spike stood up and followed, leaving Angel and Dawn alone with their parents.
"Hey Dawn, want me to take you back to Janice's?" he asked.
"No, it's probably too late to go back," she said.
"How about I take you out for ice-cream instead?" he asked, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Don't be too long," Hank said as the two brunettes left. "Finally, I think we're starting to become a family."
Darla just smiled, knowing that they were far from it.
"Buffy?" Spike said, walking into her room. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," she said. "Just a little... Surprised. Even though I kinda knew. We're gonna be cousins."
He laughed and sat down next to her on her bed. "But that won't change a thing pet," he said, taking her into his arms. "Cause I'll always love you like you're my girl."
"I am your girl," she said, kissing him.
