Chapter 19

Buffy had gone on patrol every night for a week. And got a weeks worth of zero patrolling done. There were no demons to be found, that couldn't be a good thing especially with the First Evil back and living on the mouth of hell. You don't just not see any demons unless something big is going to happen.

When Buffy got back home Giles said that aside from attempting to get Dawn home and the first's new arrival nothing new was on his radar. Buffy looked at her husband and her sister's boyfriend. They all knew something wasn't right. And it didn't settle well with any of the inhabitants of the Summers home.

Dawn sat and watched her daughter sparring with her older brother Michael. Danielle was 15. Michael was 16. Andrew was 14 and William was 13. Her babies were teenagers and very skilled warriors. She hadn't wanted them to be warriors, but the moment Danielle began showing her true strength, the boys vowed to fight by her side to give support, back up, and protection. All three of her boys were true gentlemen, just like their father. And Danielle, what could she say about her not so dainty daughter. Danielle was a force to reckoned with by the time she was 9. Her powers were extraordinary. What surprised Dawn even more was that after William had been turned their daughter inherited traits that only a vampire could possess. Her senses were razor sharp. Her reflexes were a natural reaction and took no effort. And she was flawless in battle. Danielle had received possession of the Sword of Light on her eleventh birthday. The very day her daughter had become unstoppable and the leader of the light for the people Dawn had sworn to protect with her powers. Dawn knew that the Key was pure good, but she also knew her daughter was anything but. She was a miniature Spike 99 of the time, which only made her smile, while thinking of her amazing daughter, all the more.

Dawn, her babies, and Lauren had left the refuge of the dimension they had lived in for 14 years, to dimension hop back to Earth to do battle. That and it was time Spike met his babies again.

" 'm gonna go patrol mum." Danielle said casually as she walked past her mom. Dawn nodded in response before calling out, "Okay, be safe." Danielle said she would just as she closed the door to the old mansion Angelus, William, Darla and Dru had lived in once. Lauren had immediately begun redecorating while her babies set up shop in the basement. Their basement was the most elaborate training unit one could find. If you needed it they had it. Dawn had gotten fake papers from a demon that gave her and Michael driver's licenses Lauren refused to drive. Michael walked by and picked up the keys to the Tahoe. " Mum I'm taking the Tahoe for a quick sweep of the town lines." He told he casually as well. She couldn't help but smirk at how casually all her babies took the topic of fight demons and saving the world. It was like breathing to them, they just knew how to did it. " Okay, be careful." she called to him as he left towards the garage to get the car. She turned to her other two babies and said, just as casually as her two oldest, "That puts you two on sewer patrol tonight." "We're on it." Andrew said as the two go up and headed for the sewer entrance at the very back of their house. " Be careful and try to be home for dinner!" Dawn yelled to them. "No worries Mum!" her youngest yelled back. Dawn just shook her head as she continued to prepare dinner. William was his father with that accent of his. Of course the only thing she saw in all of her babies, which they got from her, were their "key" powers. Other than that they were all William and Spike.

Lauren entered the kitchen with a sigh. " So my dear, how are you now that we are in your century?" Dawn internally smirked. Lauren hated this century; according to her the females should be ashamed of themselves for the amount of skin they show. She had nearly fainted when Dawn had taken Danielle shopping and came home with a skimpy bikini. "My 15 year old daughter is the savior of the people of the home dimension of my powers. My sons choose to fight by her side. I still have to defeat the first evil with my bare hands, without dieing. I know nothing about this version of my future or present what ever you want to call it, and have yet to tell my children that, because I don't want to worry them. I haven't seen my husband in a century, give or take a few years… in normal time. And my husband has no idea he has three sons not to or about his baby girls destiny." Dawn replied to Lauren in a voice that clearly said she didn't want to talk about it. But that tone had never worked before so why would it work now.

Lauren looked at her daughter-in-law with a sympathetic look. "So I take it your having a hard time adjusting." Dawn just looked at her mother-in-law, she was becoming far to good at 21st century humor, but she couldn't help but chuckle. "Danielle is having to much of an influence on you mother. You no longer talk with your 1880's sophistication." Lauren just smiled. " My dear, with my granddaughter sophistication is the last route you want to travel down if you wish to have a conversation with that girl of ours." Dawn chuckled at how true her statement was, but couldn't giving her mother-in-law a look in defense of her daughter. Lauren just laughed it off. "Alright so you can have a sophisticated conversation with her just not a productive one." Dawn shook her head with a smirk on her face. "Yeah. Her idea of a productive conversation is beating the shit out of a demon." The two women laughed good naturedly as they fell into a comfortable routine of preparing dinner.
