Can't Fight the Moonlight 3?

Disclaimers in part 1

I would like to thank everyone who reviewed. It gave me a serious happy to have my fic so well received.

Faith woke up sore as hell, sleeping on that couch was not a good idea. She felt something warm and heavy on her and noticed that it was Buffy and a blanket. She frowned in confusion she didn't remember putting a blanket on them. That was when she smelled bacon and pancakes. She knew it wasn't Buffy because she was wrapped up in her body. Needing to go to the bathroom she wriggled out from Buffy and made sure that she didn't wake up. When Buffy was still sleeping away she bent down and kissed her on the cheek. Before walking up the stairs she made a beeline for the kitchen and saw Joyce standing there cooking a heap of breakfast foods. She turned around when she heard something behind her.

"Good morning Faith. I hope I didn't wake you did I?"

She asked with concern.

"No you didn't Ms. S I had to go to the bathroom. I'm surprised I didn't wake Buffy up."

She gave a smile.

"That's Buffy she sleeps like the dead."

They both shared a laugh at that. Buffy was a sound sleeper.

"Thanks for the blanket I would have never thought about it."

"Well I didn't want you two to get cold. Call it mother's concern. While I have you in here Faith I have to ask you something."

She said in a concerned voice. Faith knew that something was troubling her.

"Sure Ms. S you can ask me anything."

"Buffy has been acting a little not she lately is there something wrong? She's been really depressed like."

Faith had to come up with something without giving too much away.

"She was confused about some things. But she's worked through them and she is fine now. It's one of those teenage adolescent things."

She gave her a smile hoping that the answer would appease the elder Summers.

"Does this have anything to do with that Angel person? Honestly she needs to get over it and move on. That relationship was doomed from the beginning a vampire and a slayer. That's just asking for disaster."

Faith couldn't believe her ears Buffy's mom was on the same page she is about the whole Buffy and Angel thing. Luckily Angel isn't in the picture anymore.

"That is true, but she has moved on to something better."

Faith gave her a smile in which Joyce returned. She has always like Faith even though she was a little rough around the edges.

"I'm glad about that." She turned around and pored the eggs into the skillet.

"I have to go freshen up. I will be bask down momentarily."

She got off of the stool and headed up the stairs. She stopped by the couch and saw that Buffy was still sleep. Buffy woke up a couple of minutes a little disoriented not only was she on the couch but she was covered in a blanket. She sat up and started looking around for Faith. The smell of eggs sent her to the kitchen a smile graced her features thinking Faith was fixing them breakfast. Going into the kitchen she was disappointed a little when she saw her mother standing there.

"Mom what are you doing her early? You're not supposed to be here until Monday?"

Confusion clearly creeping up in her voice.

"Well good morning to you to. If you must know the person selling the pictures had a change of heart. Hence me being here fixing us some breakfast."

She gave her daughter a smile.

"If you are looking for Faith she is upstairs freshening up. While she is doing that it would give us a chance to talk."

Joyce leaned up against the island once the eggs were finished. Buffy saw a big caution sign go up.

"Talk about what?"

Buffy asked as she went to the refrigerator to get the juice.

"Well, you and Faith are awfully close. Is there something going on between you two?"

If there was anytime that she would wish the hellmouth would open. It would be now so it could swallow her whole.

"What do you mean going on? We are just friends."

"Buffy I am your mother I know these things. It's okay to be honest with me I won't disown you."

Buffy smiled a little still feeling a little uneasy about this conversation. Faith had come downstairs while Buffy and Joyce were talking. She decided to wait a minute before making her presence known.

"Mom I do have a thing for Faith, come to find out its mutual. It's all so new to me I didn't think it would be possible for me to feel this way about another girl. I used to think it was so wrong but you have no choice over who you love."

Joyce and Faith both were taken aback by what Buffy had said. Buffy looked at her mother to see what she was going to say. To her surprise she found a smile on her face.

"Sweetheart I knew how you felt about Faith from the beginning. Anyone with eyes could actually see that. Hell even Giles could see it and he is British."

This earned a laugh from Buffy and Joyce. Faith took that as her cue to enter she flashed Joyce a smile and gave Buffy a hug.

"It looks like sleeping beauty has finally woken up."

She teased and pulled a few strands of her hair.

"Oh shut up! Not everyone had the early to rise syndrome so forgive me but I was tired."

"I'm just teasing you goldilocks. I don't know about you but I am starved. B you need to go upstairs and freshen up. You're looking a little rough around the edges."

Both Joyce and Faith laughed Buffy pouted and got up from the counter in a huff.

"Fine make jokes I will be secretly plotting your downfall." She glared at Faith.

Walking out of the kitchen she made a beeline up the stairs. Once in her room she let out a long breath. Her mother didn't have a cow things were going to get better. She got out her clothes for the day and headed to the bathroom where she washed her face and brushed her teeth. Putting on her clothes she made her way downstairs for breakfast. Faith and her mom were already at the table waiting for her.

"Okay now that the queen of lateness is here lets eat."

Buffy playfully punched her while passing.

"Okay children that is enough sit down and eat."

Both girls looked at each other and smiled. Breakfast went along smoothly they were talking about their plans for the day and how Joyce wanted both of them home for dinner and all that good stuff. Buffy and Faith cleaned away the table and the dishes making Joyce happy. It was good to see Buffy smile again not all doom and gloomy over something that would never end well.

'Life is good.' Joyce thought to herself.
