A/N: AH! It's been way, way, way, too long since I've updated this. So sorry about that. But I loved all the reviews you all gave me while I was writing this. And I hope you've all returned for the update. Once again, all of Faiths thoughts are written in bold.


Harmony had been wheeling Faith around the mall for about 91 minutes. And for Faith it was about 91 minutes to long.

I swear I never did anything so bad that I deserve this.

After 91 minutes of shopping for Harmony, she decided it was Faith's turn, so they headed to a baby clothing store. As soon as Faith got her first look inside the store, she wanted to die.

Okay, so I can't walk or talk, but maybe I can find a way to hurl myself out of this stroller and send myself into a coma. Speaking from experience, coma's are way more fun, and far less painful then this.

"We're going to find some pretty little outfits to dress you in, aren't we, Faithy Waithy? Yes we are." Harmony said to her in a baby-talk voice.

Faithy Waithy is going to find a pretty little stake to kill you with when I get changed back, aren't I? Yes I am.

The two proceeded to look around the store. Harmony ravaged through all the racks and shelves of baby clothes. Within five minutes, she had six outfits in her hand. Faith had never seen such shopping before. It was sort've scary. Harmony squealed when she saw a certain dress on one of the racks. "This is adorable!" she picked it up and showed it to Faith. It the dress was yellow, pinks eviler twin.

No. No way am I going to wear that. This pink thing I'm in is bad enough.

"Okay, let's go try these on!" Harmony stated as she took Faith into the fitting room. When they got in, she took Faith out of the stroller and sat her on the little bench and undressed her, except for the diaper, as she looked over the selection of those and tried to decide which to put on Faith first. Faith found this an opportunity to escape, clothed or not.

I hope I can crawl.

Luckily, the bench was low enough for her to get off of, without getting hurt. Once she was on the ground she started to crawl, the dressing room door didn't go all the way to the floor and she was small enough to fit through that space, so she did. She didn't stop crawling once she was out.

Okay, I don't know where the hell I'm going, but I don't care, just as long as I'm away from that crazy bitch. People are looking at me. Oh well, its not like it's the first I'm naked in a mall, at least I have something on this time.

Unfortunately for Faith, Harmony caught her before she even got to leave the store. "Hold there missy!" Harmony order as she scooped the baby up. "Just what do you think you're doing crawling away like that?"

Does she realize I can't answer?

"I almost exploded to dust when I turned around and saw you gone!"

Why, oh, why couldn't that have happened! Damn.

Faith was relieved when Harmony announced that they were going to go home. The downside though, was that she was going to have to wear the yellow monstrosity.

At least I'm going back to the penthouse and away from her, even if I'm wearing this horrible dress.


It wasn't a long ride from the mall to W&H, so they were there quickly. Harmony knocked on the penthouse door, but it wasn't answered right away. They had to wait in the hallway.

I don't even want to know what's going on behind that door.

Angel eventually answered the door. "Hey guys," he cheerfully said as Harmony wheeled Faith inside. "Did you have a fun time out?" he asked Faith, leaning down to her level.

More like a suicidal time.

Angel saw the baby laugh. Anya came running out of the bedroom, "there she is! How's mommy's little tax deduction?" she cooed. "Awe, you look so pretty in your new dress."

What! Is she seeing the same dress I am?

"Was it expensive?" Anya asked.

"Not very," Harmony replied.

"Good. Then again, she is worth spending money on pretty things for, even if she'll grow out of them soon."

"Yes she is," Angel agreed.

What did I just hear? On top of them now living in some reality in which I'm their child, have they also opened their wallets a little?

"But it didn't cost much?" Angel double-checked.

Guess not.

Angel reimbursed Harmony for the money spent, as well as paid her for her day's work, and then the blonde vampire left. "Thank god," Angel sighed once she was gone.

How do you think I felt all damn day!

"Angel, she's nice. And a great nanny," Anya said.

"But I can only take so much of her at once," he countered, before picking up Faith. "It's not like Faith, who I could be around all day long."

"Well, everyone could!" Anya gushed. Angel took Fath over to the sofa and sat down with her. Anya went into the kitchen and came back with a spoon, baby food and a bib. "Should we try the food again?" she asked Angel.

He shrugged, "why not."

The feeding began. What is this? It's as bad as the formula. Is there no things for babies to eat? This is not right. Not freakin' right at all!

Once the feeding was over, Faith was sat on the floor with some toys. The baby, and the adult trapped inside, both had other ideas then playing. The small body grabbed a hold of the coffee table, and pulled themself up. Step one was complete. Then she let go and before she could even try to take a step, fell right down and cried. Step two failed miserably. Angel, the only parent in the room at the moment, "ssshh... it's okay," he soothed. He continued to comfort the baby until she calmed down. "See, all better, no need for all the crying, is there? No there isn't."

"Crying? There was crying? What happened to her?" Anya asked, as she returned from the bathroom where she had taken a quick shower.

"She tried to stand and fell," Angel answered. Anya took her daughter from Angel and rubbed her back.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here. Mommy was busy in the shower because it's nice to have a nice shower after an afternoon of sex. But I'm still I wasn't here for your fall," she apologized to her child, as she snuggled her. Angel joined in.

Okay, too much info there Anya. First and afternoon with Harmony, now that. Although wow, they really care. This is a very nice feeling. It has it's good points after all. Wait... what the hell did I just say.. I mean think?

TBC


A/N: Again, extremely sorry for the mega-long update wait. I hope it was worth it.Up next, Faith and Angel spend some one-on-one time, and she is left in the hands of a babysitter once again, but it's not Harmony. And I swear the next chapter won't take this long to be written. Please review.
