Chapter 10

Walking into the bed room willow saw sarah lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling in deep thought. Sarah's third birthday was a couple days ago so that meant they should start her training soon. Tara was with buffy and faith at the weapons shop talking it over with them. Willow furrowed her brow and walked over to the bed sitting down on the edge. "Sweetie, what's wrong?"

Sarah looked over at her mother and sighed. She overheard both her parents talking to buffy and faith one night about the prophesy. She was suppose to be in bed but was to excited about her birthday the next day to sleep. The thought that she might die has been on her mind the whole time and she never told anyone, until now. "Mommy." Her eyes started to line with tears at just the thought of dieing.

Willow noticed the glaze in her eyes and frowned. She never liked to see her daughter sad so she put her arms around her and pulled her to her chest. "What is it baby girl."

Sarah gave a weak smile. Her mother had been calling her baby girl since she could remember and it was her name for her. She then remembered what was happening and frowned again. "Mommy, am I gonna die?"

Willows eyes widened for a second and then looks at her daughter with loving eyes. "Baby no, you're not going to die." She stated trying to believe herself.

Sarah frowned. "But I heard you, I heard you and mommy and buffy and faith talking about me dying."

Willow sighed, she knew they would have to tell her now that she got a little bit on her own. They wanted to wait a couple more days because they weren't ready yet. She was amazed at how her daughter picked up everything so quickly. She knew that she understood what they were mostly saying but she never knew she understood about death and things like that. She squeezed her arms around the little girl a little bit tighter as she whispered in her ear. "We will tell you everything, I promise." She sighed and let go a little bit. "I'll get them over here and we will tell you everything."

Sarah nodded and gave a weak smile. "I believe you, I love you mommy." She hugged the bigger redhead.

Willow smiled and hugged the smaller redhead. "I love you too baby girl."

Sarah pulled back. "Can I have a sandwich?"

Willow let out a little giggle. "Sure why not, I'll even join you." She smiled as they both got up and went into the kitchen to fix their lunch.

Tara, buffy, and faith walked into the house and saw willow and sarah in the kitchen cleaning up. Buffy and faith went up to the window that saw into the kitchen and bent over the counter. Tara went into the kitchen and gave both the girls in it a kiss before looking at them both. "And how are my two favorite girls today?"

Willow gave a weak smile. "Well, one of us is fine." She pointed to herself. "While the other one has some questions." Willow pointed down to sarah who was looking around at everyone.

Tara knelt down in front of sarah. "What do you wanna know sweetie?"

Sarah looked into her mothers eyes and then looked up to willow who nodded. She looked back to tara and gave her a small smile. "Why am I gonna die?"

Tara looked around at everyone's opened mouthed expression. She looked to willow and saw her wife frown and nod. She looked back down to her daughter and sighed. "Sweetie, it's not that simple. We are not going to let you die though. We love you to much to let that happen.

Sarah furrowed her brow. "Mommy said the same thing."

Tara smiled. "Mommy is right then. We all love you." She looked around to everyone in the room as they nodded. Tara stood up and looked at everyone. "I think it is time to tell her."

Everyone nodded as they went into the living room to sit around sarah. It took them about a half an hour but they finally got through to her. She understood what she had to do and agreed to it mostly. She wants a normal life though so she can only work out a little once school starts in about another year.

Sarah nodded and looked around. "I understand."

Tara smiled and put her hand on her daughters knee. "That's great sweetie, we really need you to do this. We can't lose you, we won't lose you."

Sarah smiled and stood up giving both her parents a big hug. "I can't lose you too."

Buffy and faith both look at each other and frown. "Hey, we don't get a hug? We are the ones who are going to train you." Buffy pouted.

Sarah smiled and ran over to them and gave them both a hug. Pulling away she gave them a big toothy smile. "I love you aunt buffy, aunt faith."

Faith giggled. "We love you too squirt."

Buffy put her hand on sarah's shoulder. "Yes, we love you very much. Now, we need to start your training right away."

Faith looked at buffy and nodded. "Yeah, we only have fifteen years to get this right. I mean, she has school and everything to do too so it's not like we can have her 24/7."

Buffy leaned back and looked at her wife. "This coming from a girl who quit school the first chance she got."

Faith shrugged. "Hey, if I didn't quit then I would have never came here and we would have never hooked up so be happy." She looked at sarah. "But you will not do that. I am a bad choice as a roll model."

Sarah giggled and nodded. She looked back to her mothers and smiled. "Can I go play now?"

Willow nodded. "Go ahead baby girl."

Sarah runs to her room and starts playing with her toys while everyone else talks for a while longer before they have dinner. Buffy and faith went home to get ready for patrol while willow works on her laptop and tara reads next to her wife on the couch. They haven't seen sarah ever since dinner which was a couple hours ago and they hadn't heard from her since, they thought she fell asleep or something.

Willow closes her laptop and puts it on the coffee table, she puts her arms around tara. "You know what time it is?" She said in a seductive voice.

Tara smiled and closed her book. "Bedtime?"

Willow giggles. "It is for sarah, but not for us. We get a couple more hours."

Tara turned to look at the sexy grin on her lovers face. "And what would we do in those couple of hours?"

"Oh you know that." Willow goes in for a kiss and lingers there for a couple of moments before pulling back. "I'll go get sarah to bed and I will meet you upstairs."

Tara giggled. "All right." She gets up and goes upstairs while willow goes into sarah's room. She looks around everywhere but didn't find her. She started to get worried and ran out into the living room. "Sarah! Sarah, where are you?"

Tara walked down the stairs and looked at willow. "What's wrong?"

Willow turns around and throws her hand in the air. She ran to the kitchen and picked up the phone. "Sarah isn't in her room, or anywhere else." She told tara. She called buffy and told her everything and then went to the living room where tara was pacing. "Buffy said that she and faith would look for her. I am sure she is going to be fine."

Tara walked up to her wife. "Are you sure you looked everywhere. All her hiding spots."

Willow nodded. "Yes, I am going to look around the house. Stay in here, it is getting late and I don't want you outside."

She goes to grab a stake and then goes to the door until tara grabs her wrist. "And I do, will, you can't go out there."

Willow looked loving into tara's eyes. "Tara, baby, I will be fine. Buffy has been training me and I am pretty damn good."

Tara furrowed her brow. "When has she trained you?"

Willow sighed. "I'll tell you later. I am going to look around the house." She walks out the door and looks around while tara started pacing in the living room again.

Buffy and faith walk through the streets calling sarah's name. They started from willow's house and went from there. Faith went through the grave yards while buffy thought of a few places that she might have wandered off to, she walked deep into the high school. Willow thought it would be good to take sarah there to see her past and what happened to them over the years. They showed her the high school and the class that she use to teach and the library. Sarah said that she liked that class room and wanted to go there again but no one ever took her. Buffy rounded the corner and went into the door looking around. Sarah was sitting in the chair with her legs up to her chest and her head down on her knees. It looked like she was shaking and at first she thought she was just cold.

She moved into the room by the table. "Sarah, sweetie, what are you doing?" Sarah looked up and buffy could see a tear streaked face looking back at her. She went over to the young girl and knelt down in front of her. "What's wrong sweet heart?"

Sarah looked into buffy's eyes and started crying harder. Buffy took her in her arms and cooed sweet nothings in her ear to try and calm her down. When sarah calmed down a little bit she pulled away from buffy and stared into her aunts eyes. "I can't do this aunt buffy, I don't wanna die."

Buffy shook her head. "We aren't going to let you. Your mothers, faith and me aren't going to let you die. We are going to help you and you will win that fight and come out to live the rest of your life. Who knows, you might have a special someone to fight for besides us." She gave the little girl a smile and got a little one back.
Sarah shook her head. "I'm not into boys aunt buffy, boys are icky."

Buffy shrugged. "It might not be a boy. You might have your mothers genes and like girls. You never know."

Sarah looked up. "You mean like you and aunt faith and aunt dawn and aunt bri?"

"Yeah, like us." Buffy laughed and nodded. After a moment of silence buffy stands up. "Alright kiddo, your parents must be freaking out right now. Why did you run away?"

Sarah shrugged and got off the chair and grabbed buffy's hand as they walked out. "I just wanted to be alone."

"You could have been alone at home, you can't run out whenever you like. It's dangerous with all the vampires and demons, I don't know what any of us would do without you." Buffy said not liking the thought that just crossed her mind.

Buffy and sarah walk in the door where willow and tara where pacing around. Willow and tara both saw sarah and ran to her picking her up and giving her hugs and kisses everywhere. After a while willow turned and looked at buffy. "Where was she?"

"In your old class room crying. She wanted to be alone and think so she left. When I got there she said she couldn't do it and she didn't want to die and stuff like that. I told her again that we wouldn't let that happen and blah blah blah. Same stuff we have been dealing with. She should be fine now."

Willow nodes. "Thanks buffy, where's faith?"

Buffy pointed out the door. "She's in one of the cemeteries, I'll go and find her now, tell her everything is good. I'll see you guys tomorrow." She goes up to sarah who is still in tara's arms. "And you little one, promise me you won't do that again."

Sarah nodes. "I promise."

"Alright, give me a kiss and I'll be off." Buffy said as she put her face toward the little girl.

Sarah gave buffy two kisses and smiled. "Give the other one to aunt faith."

Buffy nodded. "You got it." She waved bye and walked out the door to find faith and gave her a kiss from sarah.

Willow went back to sarah and frowned. "Baby girl, you know you can always talk to us right, or any of your aunts too. You can always be alone but we want to know where you are. Running away is not an option, it's dangerous. You say you don't want to die but your running outside so demons can have a meal. We can't lose you, and we won't if it is up to us." Willow said rather firmly.

Sarah nodded and lowered her head. "I know mommy." She looks up to tara. "Mama, can I go to bed?"

Tara nodded and put her down. "Sure, you get ready for bed and mommy and I will be in there in a few minutes." Sarah nodded and walked into her room. Tara looked at willow and sighed. "Well, at least she is safe."

Willow walks over to tara and puts her arms around her. "Yeah, what would we ever do without buffy."

"Die." Tara said simply with a small grin.

Willow giggled. "Yeah, beside that. I think sarah did ruin our plans though. I am pooped with just worrying."

Tara nodded. "Yeah, don't worry though, we have the rest of our lives together." She said seductively.

Willow gave a wicked grin. "Damn straight."

Tara giggles and grabs her wife's hands. "Come on, lets gets some sleep." Willow nodded and they both went up today knowing that their daughter was safe in the confines of her bed.

The next morning sarah walked into her parents room and tip toed over to them as quietly as she could. She went to the foot of the bed seeing her parents snuggle up to one another. Willow was spooning tara from behind and pulling her closer in her sleep. Her arms were around tara's waist as tara put her arm over willows pulling her closer as well. Sarah smiled at her mothers. She knew they loved each other very much and loved seeing them together, she also knew they loved her very much also. She smiled and slowly crawled onto the bed trying not to wake her parents. She got behind willow and stood up giggling looking down at the peaceful smirk on both their faces. She bent her knees and jumped up a little bit landing on both her mothers waking them up instantly making them both scream.

Sarah started laughing even harder while she fell in the middle with both willow and tara looking down at her. "Oh you think that is funny, you scared us half to death." Willow said.

Sarah calmed down a little bit and looked up at her. "Sorry mommy, I couldn't help it."
Willow nodded. "Ok, well I can help doing this." She started tickling her daughter who was now squirming under her fingers. She kept yelling stop while she was giggling and she could barely get the word out.

"Stop mommy, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Sarah screamed as her mom finally stopped.

Tara was giggling the whole time. "What are you doing up this early anyway?"

Sarah shrugged. "I don't know, I can't tell time yet. What time is it?"

Tara turned around to look at the clock on her bedside table. "Almost ten o'clock. We slept in late."

Willow sighed. "Oh well, we're up now thanks to this little squirt."

Sarah giggled. "I'm not a squirt."

"Oh yes you are." Willow started to tickle sarah again making her squirm.

"Ok, ok, I'm a squirt!" Sarah said.

Willow stopped and nodded her head just once. "See, mommy is always right."

Tara giggled. "Mommy is the smart one in the family."

Willow looked up at her. "So are you, you said yes to marring me didn't you." She giggled.

"True." Tara stated. Willow smiled and went in for a morning kiss that lingered for a moment or two.

Sarah looked at both her parents as they pull away. "How come I don't get one?" She frowned.

Willow and tara both look down at her and smile. Both of them dive in and give sarah small kisses on every inch of her face as she giggled like crazy. They pulled away and smiled. "Better?" Tara asked.

Sarah nodded. "Yes, better."

Willow sighed and moved to get off the bed. She stood up and stretched her arms up which made her light pink tank top ride up showing her stomach. Sarah went over and put her cold hand on willows exposed stomach making the redhead squirm under her touch. "Hey, your hands are cold." She said looking down at her daughter who was giggling.

Tara got up also and went over to the dresser to get her hair brush. She put the brush through her hair a few times and put the brush back on the table. She turned around and went over to the bed. "Sarah, why don't you go down stairs while me and mommy get dressed. We'll be down in a minute to get breakfast."

Sarah nodded and walked out the door but not before willow spanked her on the butt playfully. Sarah left the room closing the door behind her and went down stairs and into her room where she got changed herself. She picked out her clothes and got dressed the way her mom had taught her.

After about five minutes, willow and tara came downstairs to see sarah changed and on the couch playing with her toys. Willow went over and kissed sarah on the head roughening up her hair. "Hey baby girl, what do you want for breakfast?"

Sarah furrowed her brow as she thought about the options. "Pancakes!" She screamed.

Tara giggled and walked into the kitchen. "Funny shaped or round?"

"Funny shaped!" Sarah yelled as she went over to the stool that was by the kitchen window. With a little help from willow, sarah got up on the stool and leaned over the open space that led into the kitchen. "Can I watch?"

"Sure baby." Tara said as she got everything she needed.

The front door opened, bri and dawn walked in with a smile on there faces. Willow notices this and smiled. "What are you so happy about?"

Sarah heard her mother talking and turned to see her aunts coming in. "Aunt dawn, aunt bri!" She squealed as she was jumping up and down in her seat.

Dawn smiled and went over to her niece and took her in her arms and kissed her cheek while moving over to her wife. "Hey squirt, how are you doing? I haven't seen you for a while."

Bri nodded and kissed the little girl on the cheek. "I know, it seems like forever."

Sarah nodded and put her arms around dawns neck. "Where have you been?"

"At school workin hard. Sorry we haven't been around." Bri said as she went over to willow. Dawn and bri went back to school because they both wanted to become doctors.

Willow put her hands up for emphasis. "No problem, we know school is kinda demanding, but I loved school so I didn't really notice."

Dawn nodded. "We finished our studies early so we decided to come and visit. We have a class later this afternoon so we can stay for a while."
"You guys want some breakfast?" Tara asked from the kitchen.

Sarah's eyes went wide. "Yeah, stay for breakfast."

Bri giggled. "All right, how can we say no to that." She said. She turned to willow. "I also came by to see if I could talk to you."

Willow nodded. "Yeah sure, what's up?"

Bri looked over to dawn who was to engrossed in sarah to notice bri. "Come on sarah, why don't we hang out with mama." Dawn said as she made her way to the kitchen with sarah still in her arms.

Willow raised an eyebrow in suspicion when bri moved them further away from the kitchen. "What's going on?"

Bri got closer to willow. "I have a problem." Willow looked at the brunette in front of her with concern as she waited for her to continue. "I kissed someone else." She whispered.

Willow heard this and sucked in a lungful of air. "You what!" Willow yelled drawing the attention of everyone else.

"Willow honey, what's wrong?" Tara asked as she looked at the two women standing at the far side of the living room.

Willow shook her head while still looking wide eyed at bri. "Umm, nothing sweetheart." She stared at bri for a moment or two before breaking the uncomfortable silence. "Why don't we go upstairs and talk about this." Willow whispered. She turned to everyone else. "We are going upstairs to talk, we'll be down soon." They both walked up the stairs and into the bedroom, willow shut the door and turned to look at the shifting form in front of her. "What they hell where you thinking?" She raised her arms and let them fall back down to her side slapping her thighs.

Bri sighed and plopped down on the bed. "I wasn't thinking. I don't know what to do." She put her hands over her eyes and fell back on the bed

Willow sighed and went to sit next to the woman who she come to love as a sister over the years. "What happened?"

Bri sighed again and sat up turning to the redhead. She looked deep into her green eyes and took in a breath. "A friend and I went out one night and got drunk. I took her out because she passed her final and we both wanted to celebrate. I tried to get dawn to come but she said she had to study and told me to have fun so I did. We got really drunk and she asked me to dance so I did. It was like one o'clock on the morning and we where still dancing, then for some reason she leaned in and kissed me."
Willow looked wide eyed and shook her head. "She kissed you, that's totally different."

Bri shook her head. "But I didn't pull back, I didn't do anything about it but kiss her back." She let out a groan.

Willow sighed and looked around for nothing in particular. She looked back to bri. "But you were drunk, you didn't do it intentionally and you didn't know what you were doing anyway."

"But it happened, I can't sleep at night. I keep having these bad dreams that keep coming, I haven't had a decent night sleep since. I can't even sleep with dawn." She emphasized the word sleep to mean make love.

Willow got what she meant. "You are feeling guilty, you need to tell dawn what happened. When did this happen?"

Bri shrugged. "A couple days ago. I can't tell her, she'll get so pissed." She stood up and walked a couple steps before she turned around. "What if she gets a divorce. I couldn't live without her, I just coudn't." She fell to her knees with a thud that sounded like it really hurt and started crying.

Willow got to her knees in front of bri and took her in her arms rubbing the brown hair. "Ssh, she's not going to do that, dawn loves you to much. You guys need to sit and talk about this and work it out. She might understand I mean you were drunk and didn't know what you were doing. Ssh, it's going to be ok." Willow cooed.

Just then, they heard a knock on the door and tara come in. She saw the two girls on the floor and saw the tears streaking down bri's cheeks. "Oh my god, what's wrong?" Tara asked as she got closer.

Bri looked up and then down shamefully. Willow looked at bri who shook her head and willow knew she didn't want tara to know. "I have to, she's my wife. And your wife is right downstairs, you need to talk to her. Just tell her what happened and hopefully she'll understand. Why don't me and tara go downstairs and I will send dawn up." Willow said trying to sound as loving as she can.

"I don't know if I can." Bri muffled through tears. "What if she doesn't understand?"

"She will, and if she doesn't and comes running down the stairs then I won't let her out, you need to talk to her and work this out." Willow said as she helped bri get up and wipe some of the tears from her face. Bri nodded and willow went over to tara. "Come on." Tara nodded and they both went downstairs. They went into the living room and saw dawn playing with sarah. "Dawn, can you go upstairs, bri needs to talk to you."

Dawn nodded and got up. "Talk to me about what?"

"You'll find out, and please keep an opened mind." Willow asked as dawn nodded and went up the stairs.

Tara furrowed her brow and looked to her redhead. "Willow, what's going on?"

Willow sighed and told tara everything. Tara took it well but still felt very sad and hoped for the best.

Upstairs dawn walked into the room and found bri sitting there on the bed playing with her hands. She walked over and stopped right in front of her lover. "Baby, what's up?"

Bri looked up with tears stained cheeks. "Sit down." She said as she patted the bed next to her. Dawn sat down and looked at her wife with confusion etched all over her face. Bri took a breath and grabbed dawns hand in hers. "Dawn sweetie, remember when Jenny and I went out?" Dawn nodded so she continued. "Something happened that I am not to happy about. We both got really drunk and started dancing. Then she kinda…" She stopped herself, she can't bare to hurt dawn in any way.

Dawn noticed the hesitation. "What is it sweetie?" Dawn pressed as she rubbed her thumb on bri's hand.

Bri took in a breath to calm her nerves. She looked up at dawn with loving yet hurtful eyes. "She leaned in and kissed me, and I didn't do anything about it but kiss her back."

Dawn's eyes went wide as she stood up and put her hand over her mouth. "No." She said as she kept shaking her head. She kept inching back away from bri as tears fell from her eyes.

Bri stood up and tried to walk toward dawn but stopped. "Dawn, I was drunk, I didn't know what I was doing. I love you to much to throw everything away. Remember, I loved you from day one. I was the one who asked you to dance all those years ago. I love you dawn, you can't ever doubt that. Baby, I didn't know what I was doing, you have to believe me, that kiss meant nothing to me. You mean the world to me and more." She pleaded to dawn but she didn't get any response from her.

Dawn shook her head and opened the door, taking one look back she ran out the door and started running down the stairs only to be stopped by willow. "Let me go." Dawn said firmly.

Willow shook her head. "You need to talk about this and work it out. Go back up there and talk it out."

"Talk what out, she cheated on me and you want me to go back up there, I can't even look at her willow, let me go now." She said even more firmly than before.

Willow still stood her ground. "No dawn, go back up there and work it out. If not for yourself than do it for bri, she loves you. If not for her than do it for sarah." Willow turned around to see sarah sitting with tara looking at them both. Willow turned back around. "Do you think sarah would want to see her aunts break up because someone made a mistake. What do you think I am going to tell her when she doesn't see you together anymore. Go up there and work this out, she didn't mean to do it. Everyone makes mistakes and yeah this was a big one but we all make mistakes."

Dawn shook her head. "I don't know if I can."

Willow sighed. "You once told me that you love tara and my relationship and you wished you had your own just like ours. And when you found bri, you did find your tara that you were looking for. You then told me you wanted to be just like us. If I did something stupid like this or if she did then we would talk it over, we love each other to much to give that all up just for something little like that. You love bri with all your heart and I should know since I've seen you to together, and bri loves you just as much. You've been drunk before so you know how it feels to lose control and that is all bri did. She lost control and did something that she had no control over. Please go back up there and talk it over."

Dawn nodded and went back into the room and talk to bri. They both talked it over and ended up kissing at the end. They came back down and had breakfast like nothing ever happened. Of coarse bri would have to work back dawns trust but she was willing to work hard for dawn, she would do anything for her.

Willow, Tara, Sarah, Buffy, and Faith were all in the basement training when Dawn and Bri came in the house. They had no idea were their family were so they started looking and calling for them. They heard small thuds and knew then that everyone was downstairs. They went down there and saw Willow and Tara sitting by the wall while Buffy, and Faith were trying to teach Sarah some basic fighting skills. Dawn went over to sit next to Willow while Bri went to sit next to Tara.

They watched for about another half an hour before Sarah plopped on the floor. Tara stood up and went over to pick up her little girl. She turned to Buffy and Faith who were barely making sweat. "I think that is enough for now, don't want to work her to hard." Buffy nodded and they all went upstairs.

They walked into the kitchen and got some water for the three girls and sat down at the island. Buffy and Tara were talking about new moves they could show her while Dawn and Bri were talking about a date they had set for tonight. Willow was changing Sarah into some clothes they already have over, every time Sarah trains she gets so sweaty that she has to change afterwards. There was a knock on the door and Tara went to answer it.

When she opened the door she gasped and ran out the door bringing in a man with a sheet over his head. Buffy saw what was going on and went over to investigate as well as everyone else. Buffy smiled when she saw Angel come out form under the sheet unharmed. "Angel." Buffy said as she went over to hug him.

He hugged her back and smiled at everyone else. "Hey everyone." He hugged everyone and went into the living room with everyone following him. He turned around and saw Willow holding her daughter up, he saw pictures they had sent them and he was glad he got to meet her in person. "Oh, is this Sarah?" He asked.

Willow nodded and stepped closer. "Yes, this is Sarah Anne Rosenburg-Maclay. And before you ask yes, we got the middle name from Buffy's middle name."

Angel smiled as Willow let him hold her. Sarah was happy to finally meet Angel. Her mom has told her so much about him and Angelus but she wasn't scared if her mom trusted him with her. She got really excited and wanted to see his real face. "Can you put your face on? I want to see it." She said bouncing in his arms. He looked over to Willow and Tara who nodded their head yes. He turned into his demon form and she started giggling. "Yeah!" She started to play with his head and fangs. She turned back to her parents. "Can I do that mommy?"

Willow giggled and shook her head. "I'm afraid not baby girl, only angel can. Besides, me and mama wouldn't like you with that face on, it would scare us to much."

Sarah furrowed her brow. "How come he doesn't scare you?"

"Because I have seen him like that before, and you would have to be dead to have that face, remember what we talked about?" Willow said smiling.

Sarah nodded. "Yes mommy, only vampires can have that face." She turned back to Angel. "Can you put that face away now?"

Angel got rid of the fangs and wrinkled head which gave Sarah a big smile. He put her down and she ran to her mama who picked her up. He looked over to Buffy and then the rest of them. "I heard you guys found out about Sarah there. We came to help any way we can. We know she has to be trained but we also know she has to learn how to think."

"We?" Buffy asked.

"That's were I come in." A voice sounded at the door. He came into the living room where everyone else was. "Hello everyone." He said.

Faith quirked her brow. "Wow Wes, come to help out."

Wesley nodded. "Yes Faith, as a matter of fact I am. I wanted to teach Sarah all about demons and where to hit them to kill them. Buffy had called and said you could use our help."

Everyone looked at buffy. She shrugged. "What? I thought we could use more help, Sarah needs everything we can give her if she is surly going to win. More help the better."

Tara nodded. "Buffy's right, we need all the help we can get."

Buffy pointed to Tara. "Thank you Tara."

Everyone nodded and Angel smiled. "Well, I guess we better get started."
