The Nearness Of You

Grin! How about that last chapter? Deliciously wicked is how I think I would describe that chapter. So let's continue the fun. I personally can't wait to see everyone's reaction when they find out.

Please review and let me know how I'm doing…

-----Again-----

"Morning," greeted Darmian. Trinity looked up at him and jumped to her feet startled. She did not expect to wake up in bed naked next to Darmian.

"H-hi," Emma said looking around for something to put on. She vaguely remembered being naked when she arrived, there were no clothes for her to wear at his place.

"Calm down, Trinity. You are safe here," Darmian assured the frightened lady.

"Clothes?" Emma asked. What was she thinking last night? Her parents would be so mad at her if they found out. And Darmian from her time period probably would not forgive her.

"Here is something for you to wear. It's a little big, but I'm sure you won't mind," he said handing her a black button down shirt and a pair of pants.

Trinity was much too small for the clothing she now adorned and Darmian wanted nothing more but to spend more time with her. She brushed her long blonde hair and tried to make herself look presentable. But she only achieved looking like a little girl playing dress up.

"Are you going somewhere?" Trinity asked.

"Yeah, I got a call asking me to join some people at the Magic Box. Would you like to meet the people I work with?" Darmian offered. He wasn't sure why he would offer to bring a stranger to a secret demon-hunting meeting, but he sensed somehow that she should go with him.

"That's why I came here," Trinity explained with a strained smile.

The ride over to the Magic Box was made in complete silence. Trinity already knew what the meeting was about. She tried to think of an easy way to explain who she was to Darmian, but in the end nothing sounded right.

"Hey Darmian plus one," Buffy said waving the couple over.

The whole slayerette group was there; even the children were there in the back playing. While surveying the group Darmian noticed two other young unfamiliar faces. Trinity seemed to know the strangers as she sat next to them and talked in whispers.

"Connor, Jenny; I see you two are comfortable. You didn't tell them who you are did you?" whispered Emma accusingly.

"Of course not, Em. We are not completely incompetent," Jennifer replied in a snippy tone.

"You're right, there are pieces missing," Emma said pinching her younger sister's arm.

"What are you wearing?" Connor asked amused by the giant clothing that adorned Emma's tiny body.

"They are just clothes, screw off. Darmian lent them to me and believe me you aren't dressed any better," Emma snapped tugging at the hem of Connor's shirt.

"So I see you also got a mysterious visitor," Willow said to Darmian.

"Those kids give me weird vibes. Like I should know who they are," Angel said to the Scooby gang.

"You got that feeling too? It drove me crazy trying to figure out where we had me before," Willow acknowledged.

"I think I may know why they seem familiar," Buffy said with a confident smile. These would be the visitors Jennifer Calendar informed Giles were coming to Sunnydale.

"Alright, last night these three kids arrived in Sunnydale bare as the day the were born and looking for us. They only agreed to talk about themselves if everyone was gathered," Buffy explained to the whole group, "please introduce yourselves and explain what is going on," Buffy asked the three young strangers.

"My name is Connor and the girls are Emma and Jennifer Summers. The three of us came back in time to save the world," Connor said puffing out his chest. The 17-year-old boy was dressed in some of Spike's clothes. He had long light brown hair pulled into a ponytail and he tried to seem macho.

"Right then, who are you really?" Spike asked with a bored tone.

"Connor is telling the truth, daddy," Jennifer stated, jumping to her feet standing at Connor's side, lacing her fingers with his. Jennifer was only 15-years-old and she was the smallest of the three with long brown hair and green eyes, dressed in Willow's clothing. "Emma, tell them."

"Auntie Willow, Anya, and Grandpa Giles sent us back in time using magic so we can stop someone from killing younger us," Emma explained quietly. She felt ashamed as she watched the mixed emotions play over Darmian's face. And finally his silent realization of what had happened last night, with the girl he protected and raised her whole life.

"We already knew you were going to be here," Giles stated glaring at Spike, "your parents and I discussed it. Spike is just acting like a pillock."

"Buffy, you knew and you didn't tell me," Darmian accused. How in the hell could she not tell him something like that? That was major news and now Darmian had made a terrible mistake.

"What does it matter? The kids are all here and safe," stated Buffy not understanding the cause of Darmian's anger.

"It matters when I become intimate with one of your daughters. She told me her name was Trinity and I thought she was some really beautiful woman," Darmian stated slowly.

"Darmian, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for- I didn't plan for that to happen. It was an accident," Emma apologized.

"You had sex with my daughter," Spike growled at Darmian, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt.

"Spike let him go," Buffy insisted pulling Spike away.

"You screwed Darmian! You are SO grounded when we get home," Jennifer teased.

"Shut the hell up Jenny or I'll tell dad about Connor sneaking into your bedroom for some late night smooching," Emma threatened.

"All of you sit down and shut up," Giles demanded. Everyone did as told but now there was a lot of glaring in the group. "Try to control yourselves. Emma dear, I am sure that whatever happened can be resolved later. For now we must focus on protecting the children."

"What can you tell us about this futuristic baddie that we have to fight," Buffy asked direction the conversation back to the main problem.

"He is a powerful vampire named, Noah," Emma announced to the group.

"Noah, is a bit of a sore loser after Jen staked his mate. He invoked the dark arts to try and rid the world of us, except the three of us stomped his ass. He doesn't like the idea that three kids were better warriors then him," Connor explained.

"And we have better hygiene," Jennifer quipped.

"Yeah well, he is still a worthy adversary, Jenny. Or else we wouldn't be back in time trying to kill him," Emma reminded her sister.

"Minor details," Jennifer assured her.

"You don't get to speak anymore," Emma said glaring at her sister.

"You're the meanest person alive," Jennifer replied.

"Pain in my ass," yelled Emma.

"Bitch," Jennifer yelled back.

Buffy and Spike were amused to watch their grown girls arguing. Knowing they would get to watch their children grow up made the couple exceptionally happy. Spike finally stepped in and separated his future girls as the started slapping each other.

"Weird," Buffy said to Angel. Looking at the future children.

"It really is," replied Angel studying Connor.

"You're son is dating my daughter. I wonder what we think of it in the future," mused the blonde slayer.

"Dad and Spike really hate us dating, but everyone else thinks it is funny," Connor replied to Buffy.

"I feel like that it is really romantic. Especially since Angel and Buffy used to date," Willow said with a big smile.

"No way! You and Angel dated! It didn't last long, right? It was only like a couple of dates and that was it, right?" asked Jennifer.

"Uh, well it was more like a couple of years, until Angel lost his soul. You didn't know?" Buffy asked.

"I thought my mom, Cordelia, was the reason you lost your soul," Connor asked in disbelief.

"Awkward," Buffy sighed.

"Angel, you told him I was the reason you lost your soul. That is so sweet," said Cordelia.

"Alright, I think it would be best if Spike and I got to spend a little bit of alone time with our daughters and I'm pretty sure Angel and Cordy want to do the same. So what we meet back here tomorrow," Buffy suggested.

After everyone left Angel, Cordelia, Buffy and Spike all sighed at the new stress of double the parenthood. It was odd to see their grown children playing with their babies. Life on the Hellmouth was never dull for this group.
