When they all got to Buffy's room they sat on the bed while Buffy shut the door and then stood in front of them.

"So I guess you know I have a daughter, I'm sorry I didn't tell you"

"Why didn't you?" Giles asks

"It's not that I'm ashamed of her, it's just I was scared of how you would react"

"So what happened?" Willow asking wanting to know what happened to Buffy that made her have a child, "I mean she's what? Six years old? That means you must have had her when you were 14"

"I was 14, bad relationship but when I found out I was pregnant I was shocked but I loved her"

"Who's the father?" Tara and Willow ask at the same time.

"That's the hardest question. Well he is in prison but is getting out next month that's why Lily brought her here. I don't what him anywhere near her."

Xander "What did he do to end up in prison?"

"Oh, um, well he, he was my teacher got done for see a student and drink driving, a hit and run and um sex with a minor." Buffy lied

"OW MY GOD. He was your teacher" Anya says shocked.

Just ignore her it's better that they don't know the truth Buffy thought, "Yeah well I was young and gave in to easily. I really am sorry I didn't tell you before but I was trying to tell you earlier but I couldn't think of how "

"How did you think we would react Buffy?" Giles ask wanted to know why his slayer had kept this secret from him.

"Well I still went to school and my mates, or so called mates, left me, called me 'whore' and 'slut' and said that they couldn't believe I was having a bastard child. So when I was about 8 months gone and I saw all the vamps in the gym I thought I would burn it down so that way I would be kicked out of school and have to start somewhere else. I wanted to have Tia with me but I wasn't sure I could so we tried my aunt lily looking after her and I go see her whenever I want, Lily can't have kids so she was happy to look after her. Well that worked out really well so Tia stayed with her, I really am sorry I didn't tell you I just hope you can forgive me"

"Hey Buff there is nothing to forgive, I get that it was hard for you," Buffy looks at Xander who is smiling at her and walks over to her "God I'm amazed at how well you did keep it a secret. I do have a question; can I be her cool uncle Xander?"

Buffy nods and smiles back at him "I'd love that and I think Tia would to." Looking at the rest of the gang "what about the rest of you, wanna be aunts and uncles? Or are you mad at me?"

"Of course not and we never will be. And being aunty Willow will be great." Just then Tia runs though the door "It's been 8 minute" Buffy picks her

"Come on lets go downstairs and I'll introduce you lot." When they are down stairs Joyce asks Buffy to go to the kitchen so Buffy put down Tia and followed Joyce.

"How did it go?" Buffy doesn't make any eye contact "Buffy did you tell them?"

"Kinda. They know she is mine and that she lived with lily but I said her father was my teacher and that he was in prison for thinks like drink driving. I could tell them what really happened, I'm the slayer it shouldn't have happened."

"I thought you got over this Buffy."

"I am it's just hard to talk about. Anyway I said I'd introduce them all" and she walks into the living room followed by Joyce. Everyone is sitting around the room and Tia is on lily's lap as soon as she sees Buffy she runs to her and jumps but into Buffy's arms "How long are you going to do that because I think my arms will fall off" she sits down with Tia on her lap Willow, Xander and Giles look at Buffy with the same face "What?"

"Nothing" they answer in unison.

"Okay, well guys this is my aunt lily and my daughter Tia, and this is Xander, Willow, Giles, Tara and Anya"

"Hi" the first words that Tia has said that wasn't too Buffy.

"It's nice to meet you Buffy has told me all about you." Lily says to the group. "I hear that you two are every powerful witches," Lily says looking at Willow and Tara "I know a bit myself," and she makes a fireball come out her hand, it just stays there doesn't move

"Cool" Tia whispers

"Maybe we could do a protection spell on the house so that Tia will be safe, as there are millions of vampires and demons here on the Hellmouth, but it's hard to do. So what do you say do you want to help me with that?" Willow and Tara nod

"Oh yeah guys Tia knows about the supernatural world" Buffy says seeing their surprised face when Lily started talking about vampire in front of a 6 year.

"But girls it is a very hard spell it, if we do it wrong the spell will activate every time Tia falls over and believe me she does that a lot."

"I DO NOT"

"Baby how did you get the cut on you knee and arm?"

"I fell over mommy. OK maybe I do"

Though the night they keep talking and by 11 Tia was asleep on Buffy's lap and Buffy was asleep on the sofa with her head resting against Tia's.

"Awww look at them, they look so alike" Willow says

"Yeah their personalities are basically the same as well, when Buffy was younger she would always scream and yell for a few hours after Joyce would leave her with me when her and Hank were at work and Tia dose the same when Buffy leaves to come back here"

"Does Tia look like her father at all? Because I can only see Buffy in her." Anya asks rudely like she does.

"Um no I don't think so, Tia has always looked like Buffy even when she was a few hours old." At that moment Buffy begins to wake up.

"Wake up sleepy head" Xander shakes her slightly not to disturb Tia.

"Did I fall asleep?"

"Yes, well I guess we should leave now as it is 11" Giles trying to get away so he can go to bed

"Yeah, ok I'll see you guys tomorrow right? Maybe Tia could get to know you better" Buffy lifts Tia up and puts her down on the sofa so she doesn't wake up.

"We'd love that" Willow and Buffy hug.

"Come on I'll drive you lot you home, bye buff." Xander walks out the door followed by Anya and Tara saying bye to everyone and then Willow behind them.

"Buffy I promise I will help you with anything you need ok, and I promise you none of us would let anything happen to Tia, if you ask me everyone loves her."

"Thanks Giles that means a lot to me." And he walks out Buffy closes the door at looks at her mom

"We need to talk."

Buffy nods and moves over to Tia picking her up "Ok but I'm putting her to bed first. Where are her clothes?"

"Oh there in the kitchen I'll bring them up to you."

"Thanks Dawnie." Buffy smiled and carried her daughter upstairs to her room and Dawn followed with Tia's things. Dawn pulled out some PJs and handed them to Buffy "She really looks like you."

"Yeah shame I see her father in her."

"You didn't tell the guys did you?"

"I couldn't, I just made up something along the lines of him being my teacher."

Buffy changes Tia into her nightclothes and tucks her into the bed.

"Mommy where you going?"

"Downstairs I'll be back in a minute." With that Tia feel asleep again and the sisters walked out the room. Buffy looked at the little girl in her bed and smiled.
