Chapter 3 10 years worth of tears
Faith was done with crying, she wasn't sad anymore. Now she was furious! How could Xander do this to her? Didn't he know what protection was?
She felt like punching his, come tho think of it that wasn't such a bad idea. She fumed around her ratty hotel room for a moment, then made up her mind and stormed outside. It was only 10 o'clock and a weekday so he would still be at school.
She pounded through the school halls and burst into the library. The only one there was Giles, sitting at a desk sipping tea. He looked up abruptly at her entrance.
"Is something the matter Faith?" He asked, standing up slowly.
"Where's Xander," She shot back immediately. Giles took off his glasses and began cleaning them with a handkerchief from his pocket.
"Err…Um I believe he is in science at the moment but he…" He was cut off by Faith disappearing back the way she had come.
"Oh dear."
When Faith barged in through the lab room doors Buffy, Willow and Xander were hunched together discussing something and by the way Buffy kept getting Xander's eye to twitch Faith figured the subject was her. She strode strait over to Xander a punched him hard in the jaw, causing him to fall backwards off his chair.
"You bastard!" She screamed.
"W-what did I do wrong?" Xander stuttered as she attempted to kick him in the ribs, an attempt that was prevented by Buffy pulling her roughly back.
"I'm pregnant." Faith spat.
Willow in sharply and muttered an "Oh" before hurrying quickly out of the room.
Everyone else was too shocked to do or say anything and Faith took the opportunity to break free from Buffy's grip and tear out of the room as well. She didn't want them to see her start crying again.
What the hell was wrong with her? Today she had cried more than in the last 10 years combined. Tears were for weak people, only babies cried.
Back in the classroom Xander picked him up off the floor and tried to follow only to be stopped by Buffy.
"She'll need time to calm down before she'll talk to you." She warned him.
Xander lifted his chair off the floor and sat down.
Faith ran home as fast as she could and slammed the door shut behind her then she lent against it and let the tears fall. She had probably just stuffed up the only chance her kid had of having a father.
For the first time she didn't give a damn if she was being a baby. She slid down tho the ground and cried 10 years worth of tears.
