Two months later...Faith's POV
It's weird just being able to be calm, be normal. Okay so not normal but more normal then things have been for the past two months. We had to go to court with Danny and get everything figured out. He's getting seven years for attempted murder. So we got a long while before we have to worry about him again. Tommy is getting used to him not being around so much. It still hurts him sometimes, you can see it in his eyes when he looks at the other kids with their fathers. Right now though it's not really one of his worries. He's more concerned about sneaking around the house and not sleeping. I see him giggle his little butt into the kitchen and silently sneak in behind him.
"Hey!" I say and snatch him up into my arms. He laughs and I can't help but join him.
"Why are you up?" I whisper and he shrugs.
"Are you going to tell mommy?" He asks and I shake my head.
"Not if you promise to go to bed now?"
"Ok, I don't want to get into trouble. She always says she's going to take away my toys."
"Yeah and she always threatens to not give me any but she never goes through with it." I mumble to myself.
"Any what?" He asks and my eyes widen.
"Er, candy. Bedtime now." I hurry out and start walking to his room. I place him down and tuck him in. After I kiss his forehead and say goodnight I prepare to leave but he grabs my hand.
"Faith?" He says lowly.
"Yeah, T?"
"Will you tell me a story?" I run a hand through my hair then nod. He scoots over in his bed and I half lay on the bed, half lay off the side. Very comfortable position by the way.
"What kind of story are you looking for?"
"Uh, I don't know. Not the ones from the books though because their really boring." He scrunches up his face and I smile. He gets a really happy look on his face and I know he's thought of something.
"Tell me how you first met my mom." He says and I clear my throat.
"Uh, ok, nothing really special 'bout it though." He shrugs and I continue.
"Alright, well I was running from a pretty bad vamp named kakistos..." Yeah, B and I told him about vampires and everything. Ok so he kind of found out when a group of 'em busted into the house, demons not vampires.
"but that comes later in the story. First off I managed to snag me a newbie and led him to the back of a club. So your mom comes out all worried and shi...stuff that I was going to get eaten." He stares at me wide eyed.
"But I had it covered, she didn't know I was a slayer at the time." I explain and he nods.
"I really shocked her when I ended up dusting that vampire." I smile, thinking back.
"Do you love my mommy?" I smile at him.
"Yeah, I do and you know what?" He shakes his head and I start to tickle him. He giggles like crazy until I finally quit.
"I love you too." I say.
"Well, duh, everyone loves me." I smirk and shake my head.
"Been hanging around your mom to much."
"Hey!" We both hear and see her in the doorway.
"Sorry B, but you know your just a bit stuck up."
"I am not."
"Course not, baby." I say then turn to Tommy and whisper. " She knows she is."
"Yeah make fun of me, I see how it is. Why are you still up?" She asks Tommy.
"I couldn't sleep." He says.
"Tommy..." she starts but I cut her off.
"Come on B, just let me finish the story." She sighs but relents and grabs a chair to sit next to the bed.
"Ok so after I finished off that weak one..." Yeah, I think I could probably get used to this.
THE END
