Chapter Summary: Set in Season Four of BTVS. Buffy is

living in her new apartment with her and Parker's

12-year-old son, Daniel Summers.

Buffy sat on the sofa and gazed longingly out the

window. She actually found herself wishing to go to

the Bronze with Xander and Willow, but she quickly

banished the thought. She knew she had Danny to take

care of now, and she wouldn't change that for the

world. Buffy quietly got up and headed towards Danny's

bedroom. She poked her head around the door. There lay

her son sound asleep and looking rather peaceful. He

stirred a little as she opened the door a little more,

but didn't wake. He already reminded Buffy of his

father, and this worried her. She hoped and prayed

that Danny would not turn out to be like Parker.

Sleeping with Parker was a huge mistake, but it had

also given Buffy the thing she loved most in the

world.

"Mom, I want to leave early today. I have to meet

Emma at school." Danny said walking downstairs.

"Daniel! Do you honestly have to wear those

ridiculous clothes?" Buffy asked.

"Yes mother, and it's 'D Dawg,' okay!" Danny said

frowning.

Buffy sighed as she poured her son cereal. This was

her 12-year-old boy and he wore baggy pants, a visor

and a 'bling bling' necklace. The sight was strange

and funny, but this was her son. Then on top of that

he wanted to be called 'D Dawg!" This was a

12-year-old!

"I am most certainly not calling you anything but

your real name, Danny, and we need to never let Xander

take you clothes shopping again." Buffy said putting

her hands on her hips.

"Mom really. I have a rep to uphold here, and you're

crushing it. You get to be a Slayer; so I can be

whatever I want." Danny said.

"I don't 'get' to be a Slayer Daniel, I was chosen. I

didn't chose this." Buffy said.

"Yeah like you didn't 'chose' to have me!" Danny said

angrily.

"Danny, you know I love you, and I would never take

back having you, so don't say things like that." Buffy

said.

"Sorry, but why do you gotta pick on me like that

mom?" Danny said pouting.

"Because you are my little boy, and I don't want you

turning out like you're father!" Buffy said. "And by

the way who is Emma?"

"My girlfriend." Danny answered not even looking up

from his breakfast.

"But I thought your girlfriend's name was Julia?"

Buffy asked looking confusedly at her son.

"Yeah, she's my other girlfriend." Danny answered.

"Two! You have two girlfriends! Daniel that is not

right." Buffy said.

"Well what they don't know won't hurt em!" Danny said

smiling and jumping up and running out the door to the

bus stop.

"We'll discuss this when you get home! Have a good

day. I love you!" Buffy could see her son cringe at

the words as he got on the bus without waving back at

Buffy.

"Huh, what am I going to do with that boy?" Buffy

asked herself. "He is just like his father."
