Wesley found Giles sat in the lounge looking through some paper work that Wesley could tell had nothing to do with Slaying by the way there was a frown across the older male's forehead.
"Can I help you Wesley?" asked Giles looking up at the younger ex watcher, trying to ignore the paperwork though the frown still remained on his forehead.
"I was just wondering how long you want me here for? Its just Angel needs to know how long he'll need my temporary substitute for..." said Wesley, trying not to seem to concerned about the paper work.
"Tell Angel about a month. Hopefully after that we'll have trained them all the basics." Said Giles taking off his glasses and rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Is everything OK Rupert?" asked Wesley carefully, her gaze on the paper work.
" Yes everything is fine…. we're just having some financial problems that's all. But its nothing we won't fix soon. Anything else Wesley?" asked Giles giving the papers a weary look before putting them in the folder and moving them out his line of vision so he could concentrate on what Wesley was saying.
"Well actually I wanted to talk to you about Faith…" said Wesley leaning against the chair nearest him.
"What about Faith? Don't tell me you want to be her Watcher again!" said Giles but Wesley shook his head at the mere mention of the suggestion. That thought hadn't even crossed his mind.
"No Actually I was wondering if you could help me. Faith seems to be having a slight problem with her weight." Said Wesley, a part of him wondering when exactly he'd begun to care about Faith's wellbeing again.
"What?" asked Giles running his hand through his slowly thinning hair.
"She's skin and bones Rupert. She described her whole day's worth of food and that's barely enough to satisfy a small child let alone a growing woman." Said Wesley shifting on his feet.
"Really? Because I'm sure I told her like I told Buffy that she needed to eat properly or else she won't be of any use during the fight against the first." Said Giles gesturing to the younger ex-watcher to take the seat opposite him.
"Well you know Faith, she doesn't do what others tell her Rupert…we have to help her eat healthy again or else not only will she be skin and bones but she'll most likely be liable to death." Said Wesley sitting down.
"I agree Wesley but unfortunately I have enough on without dealing about an anorexic Slayer. You couldn't by any chance do this?" asked Giles wearily.
"I suppose but we need to come up with a plan." Said Wesley running his hand through his hair, chewing his bottom lip deep in thought.
"Of Course, I'll do some research and let you know. But at the moment I think it best you just try and slowly ease her into eating regular quantities again." Said Giles, thoughtfully though the younger male could tell there was something else on the older ex-watcher's mind.
"Of course…I'll leave you to get on with your finances." Said Wesley getting up.
"Wesley…" said Giles as the younger male went toward the doorway.
"Yes Rupert?" asked Wesley turning around to face the elder male.
"You may want to put some thought into being Faith's watcher again…just a little something to think about." Said Giles before burying himself back into the paper work.
Wesley frowned subconsciously as he walked into the kitchen and sat down at the kitchen table as the potentials came in with Buffy and the members of the scoobies gang.
"Yeah Wes, get a nice sleep?" asked Willow sitting down beside the ex-watcher snapping him out his thoughts.
"Um…yeah…I did." Said Wesley when Faith came into the room and went to the fridge, the ex watcher's gaze immediately pinned on her backside.
"Um earth to watcher Jr! Gaping at the psycho slayer's behind isn't suggested." Said Spike, which resulted in the blonde vampire getting a glare from both ex watcher and the slayer in question.
"Come on Spike, let's get you some blood and go watch some TV in the basement. I'm sure between Faith and Wesley they can deal with the baby slayers…right guys?" asked Buffy putting an arm around Spike's waist.
"Um sure B. you two have fun…we can deal…. right Wes?" asked Faith looking questioningly at her ex watcher.
"Sure we can." Assured Wesley with a raised eyebrow at his ex charge.
"Great. Don't call on us till the sun's gone." Said Spike as Buffy grabbed a bag of pig's blood before dragging him down into the basement.
Faith was about to say something to Xander and Willow the latter of who gave the brunette slayer a sorry look.
"Love to see the Psycho slayer take care of the junior slayers but me, Will and An have to go out…got work…have fun…see ya Monarchy boy." Grinned Xander before he ushered Willow and Anya out the back door leaving Faith and Wesley to a room full of hungry Junior Slayers.
Wesley rolled his eyes and noticed Faith had froze at the sight of all thirty potentials, she'd gone paler than normal and looked like she was having trouble breathing.
He made his way through the crowd telling the girls to make what ever they wanted for lunch before taking Faith out the back door, sitting her on the doorstep.
"Faith are you ok?" asked Wesley sitting beside her.
"I've been better Wes, gawd I never realized how many baby slayers there were before." Said Faith running her hand through her hair as she took gentle breaths.
"We should really get back to them and make sure they haven't caused a pig sty in the kitchen." Said Wesley, his head tilted as he watched Faith's hand go to her abdomen.
"You go on ahead Wes, I'll be along in a sec," assured Faith with a weak smile.
Wesley nodded and went inside to see the kitchen looked like it had been hit by a tsunami there was food, utensils and plates everywhere and from the look of the furniture some of the girls had sat on the counters, some on the table and only the odd few had sat in the chairs.
Wesley put all plates and utensils in the dishwasher when Faith came in and leaned against the nearest kitchen counter.
"Faith why don't you go check on the potentials in the lounge? I'll finish cleaning the place up." Said Wesley picking up the leftover food and walking toward the fridge.
"I might do that. Thanks Wes." Smiled Faith, going into the lounge.
