kind of like when a minute passes by quickly but then you keep watching the clock
and it seems like it takes an hour. I missed her a lot but that's not why I was so
anxious to see her. I wanted to make sure that bastard never touched her again.
Without me there...I didn't know what he would do. So those two days were hell on
me, all I did was lye in my bed and throw a ball at the wall. Then my neighbors
complained so I had to quit that too.
I get an uneasy feeling in my stomach as I walk to her door. The gold
colored door bell seems to mock me as I stare at it. Ok, this is just Buffy, no big
deal. I smirk to myself at the thought, it's never just Buffy. I hastily shake my
head, enough with the mushy shit. I press the doorbell and listen as the music
sounds. The door opens slowly and I frown, no one was there.
"Hi." I look down and there he is.
"Hi. Is your mom home?" I ask him as I kneel. He nods and Buffy soon appears behind
him.
"You know your not suppose to open the door alone honey." She said as she picks
him up and I stand to full height. She looks at me and smiles.
"You came."
"Yeah I came." I say as she leads me into her house. She puts Tommy down to play
with his toys and we sit on the couch together.
"This is kind of weird you know...you having a kid and all." I remark as I watch
him play with a mini basketball. She smiles and turns my head back towards her.
"Would you rather play with him then me?" she asks and I grin. I'd like to be
playing with her alright.
"Nah, cause we need to talk." I say seriously and she sighs.
"Tommy, why don't you go play in your room while me and Faith talk." He turns
around and cocks his head a little.
"Why?" He asks curiously.
"Because it's important."
"Why?" He repeats.
"Go to your room and we'll take you to the park later." she coaxed and my eyes
widened.
"What!" I exclaim and he giggles.
"Ok." He says happily. Then the little squirt bounces away into his room. I look at
her, waiting for my explanation.
"What? He likes the park."
"Yeah but what makes you think I do?"
"I don't think you do." she stated.
"Oo great reason for me to go then." I say with fake enthusiasm.
"but you like me." she remarks and I quirk an eyebrow.
"fine." I say and lay back more into the couch.
"Now tell me what you plan on doing." Her face falls.
"I still don't know. I mean Faith I don't even know what..."
"Yes you do." I cut her off.
"or at least you've got an idea." Buffy looked at the ground then put her face in
her hands.
"If it is him Faith..." she looked up. "then I just won't be a slayer anymore. I
refuse to harm Tommy in anyway." I nodded.
"I know. You still can't let him treat you like this." We both fell silent.
"Has he since I left?" I finally asked, I swear I'll kill him if he has. Relief
fled over me as Buffy shook her head.
"I'm not sure what he'll do though if I get a divorce." I place my hand on her
thigh to comfort her.
"I'm here for you B. I'm not going to let him hurt you anymore." I whispered as we
moved closer to each other. Buffy turned to me and placed her hand on my cheek as
we moved in closer to kiss.
"Mommy!" Tommy yelled from his bedroom.
"Can I come out now!" She gives me an apologetic look as she moves away. He comes
running out with his bat now.
"Park, please." He said swaying back and forth. He's lucky he's cute or else I'd
be pissed as hell right now at him. Buffy looks at me for confirmation and I shrug.
"Sure. Faith can you put on his shoes while I get ready?" She asks me.
"Um, yeah I guess I could." I say as she gets up. Tommy bounces over towards.
"I like the park." he say with a huge grin.
"Um, that's cool." I say and walk over towards the shoe rack as he follows behind
me.
"Have you ever been to the park before?" He said while I grab his sneakers. We
walk back over to the couch and he sits down as I kneel in front of him.
"Once when I was younger, different reasons though." I'd been running away but then
the damn cops found me.
"Oh." he said and I slip the shoe on.
"Was it fun?" He asks and I can't help but smirk.
"You know, you talk as much as your mom does." He frowns at me.
"Sorry." He replies while I tie his shoe lace.
"Nah, don't be. Never said it was bad thing, kind of cute." I say smiling at him
and he becomes happy again.
"What's cute?" Buffy asks as she walks back in and I finish tying his shoes.
"We are mommy!" He yells and I look at her. She's got this goofy ass smile on her
face now but that's a good thing, right?
"Aw, you think I'm cute Faith?" She said, looking down at me. I stand and Tommy
hops off the couch. I look her up and down, then shrug my shoulders.
"Your ok I guess." I reply with a smirk and she smacks my arm lightly.
"Come on, lets go to the park." Buffy said and Tommy runs to the door.
"That comment could cost you." She whispers and I grin.
"Not really all that worried. You can't deny me B." This time she looks ME up and
down.
"Nah, your probably right. Are you saying you could deny me?" She said as she puts
her hands on her hips.
"Seeing as I came to see you...I'm guessing no." She kisses my cheek softly when
Tommy isn't looking.
"Good." Buffy replies and we walk over to Tommy. To the park we will go.
