A/N: Thanks for reviewing. I would like to thank the following:
Allen Pitt: Joyce is still alive. Dawn is alive but you will find out more about her further in the story. And as you can see Faith is still alive and on the good side.
Qihotex: The reason I chose the L.A airport will come to light a little later. Everything will be explained about how Alex came about later on. I have a really good twist on that. Well I think it's good.
Orlando- crazy: Thank you for reviewing. I chose Xander to be nice because he is the most down to earth Scooby there beside Tara.
Becomingwhaturmeanttobe: Thanks for the review.
Chapter Three
Buffy walked over to were Sophia was standing with the mechanic. She glanced over to make sure Alex was still in his seat coloring.
"How did you guys not catch this before? My friend had brought the car in yesterday," Sophia was annoyed.
"We weren't looking for this yesterday," the man named Eric said.
"How long will this take?" Buffy asked.
"It's hard to say. We have to special order the parts from a place out in L.A."
Sophia sighed.
"We may as well come back tomorrow," Buffy told her.
Sophia nodded in agreement. They went and got Alex and then headed towards the restaurant by the Magic Box. They sat down at a table. Alex was the only one that was hungry.
"Wanna see me get my own food?" Alex asked standing up.
"Sure sweetie," replied Buffy.
"Of course," Sophia echoed.
Alex smiled at the two before he made his way up to the buffet. Buffy watched him carefully. She didn't want him to have another asthma attack. She saw Xander sitting with Anya by the buffet. She watched as Alex gave Xander a high five. Once you get Alex to like you he likes you for life. Buffy turned back to Sophia. Just knowing that someone else would be watching Alex made her feel safer.
"Are you ok with having to stay a few extra days?" Sophia asked.
"I'm cool," Buffy said smiling.
"Are you sure?"
Buffy nodded and forced a smile on her face. She hoped that Sophia wouldn't see through it.
"Well if you're sure," Sophia said still unsure of whether or not Buffy was being truthful.
Alex came back and the topic was dropped. Then Xander came over.
"Can I talk to you for a moment Buffy," Xander said.
"What is it?"
"Faith and Spike told everyone your back," Xander said.
Buffy's eyes gleamed with fright and then it went away as fast as it had come.
"When?"
"I don't know but I was just told and they plan to look for you tonight. They think your going to you know patrol," Xander told her.
"Relax they know about my past."
Xander sighed.
"Good. Cause I can't lie very well."
Buffy turned to Sophia.
"Is the hotel room in your name?" Buffy asked.
Sophia nodded.
"You forgot about Spike's extra sense."
Buffy sighed again.
"We'll deal when it happens."
Xander nodded and left with Anya. When Alex was done eating he asked if they could go back to the Magic box to buy another coin. Buffy said yes. Anything to take her mind off of her past. When they walked in Buffy let Alex roam around. Then out of the corner of her eye she saw Giles. Then she had to get out of there. She went over to Alex.
"Alex why don't we go back to the movie store and you can buy a movie," Buffy suggested.
Alex grinned from ear to ear and nodded. Buffy took him by the hand and led him over to where Sophia was standing.
"We're going to the movie store," Buffy said.
Sophia nodded and followed them out of the store. Ten minutes later they were in the movie store. Alex was looking through the movies deciding which ones he wanted.
"What's with the quick exit?" Sophia asked.
"I saw Giles."
Buffy hadn't seen Giles since the day she had gone back to Sunny Dale. She had thought she was ready to go home. But when she got their she wasn't. Everything reminded her of her baby's father. She had told her mom and Giles about Angel's baby. They both agreed that it would be best if she got an abortion. They never even asked Buffy what she wanted. Giles said it was for the best. He said he was afraid that Alex would become a vampire worse then Angelus. But Alex hadn't and Buffy was mad at him for saying such a thing.
"Giles was your old watcher?" Sophia asked.
Before Buffy could answer Alex came over holding three movies.
"Can I get these Mommy?" Alex asked.
"Sure."
Buffy took the movie from her son and got online to pay for them. When she was done she went back to the hotel with Alex and Sophia. Alex was immediately in front of the television so he could watch one of his new movies. This gave Buffy and Sophia more time to talk. They sat on Sophia's bed on the other side of the room. Buffy sat resting against the wall. Sophia sat across from her in a chair.
"Do you think they'll come tonight?" Sophia asked.
Buffy pulled some blonde hair out from in front of her eyes.
"I'm not sure," replied Buffy.
Sophia crossed her arms across her chest. She was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
"Want me to get it?" Sophia asked.
Buffy shook her head. She got up off the bed and crossed the room. When she opened the door she found Willow on the other side. She wore a confused look on her face.
"Hello Willow," Buffy said.
Buffy made no move to invite her friend in. This saddened Willow.
"So your back?" Willow asked.
"My car is being fixed. As soon as it's done I'm leaving."
Willow's face fell.
"Why would you come back and open all the wounds you caused if you were only going to leave again?" Willow asked.
Buffy was shocked.
"Wounds I caused. All of you caused them."
Willow's eyes darkened.
"How could you say something like that?" Willow demanded.
"Why don't you ask Giles how he pushed me away. Ask him about the baby he wanted me to give up just because it was Angel's. Then you'll know why I left."
"What are you talking about?" Willow asked.
Buffy forgot. She had never gotten a chance to tell anyone that she was pregnant. Buffy opened the door and pointed to Alex.
"That's my son Alex. His father is Angel. I told my mom and Giles about him and do you know what their solution to him was?" Buffy demanded.
A tear slid down both Buffy's check. Willow had tears streaming down her face. She shook her head.
"They told me they would set up an appointment for an adoption."
Before Willow could respond to Buffy's comment Alex came over.
"Why are you crying Mommy?" Alex asked.
"I'm okay sweetie," Buffy promised.
Alex nodded. Buffy picked him up and hugged him.
"Does he look evil to you Willow?" Buffy asked.
Willow shook her head.
A/N: I hope that was better. Please review.
