Sunday morning Tia jumped onto Buffy and Angel's bed waking them both.

"Mommy, wake up. We're going to the fair soon."

Buffy opens her eyes and looks at the clock, "Tia, it's only 7 in the morning. We're not going for a few hours."

"I know but I couldn't sleep any longer." Tia smiles sitting between the two adults.

"Well is your Gran up?" Buffy asks and sees Tia is nodding. "Well do ask her to make you breakfast, while Angel and I wake up."

Tia jumps off the bed, almost falling as she does so, yelling back, "OKAY"

Buffy and Angel lay in bed and Angel kisses Buffy's head.

"So?" Angel asks.

"So what?" Buffy looks confused.

"Why did it take you so long to decide to take Tia to the fair?"

"Well, you know he gets out soon, or he may already be out. We don't know that date Kevin is actually released we only got a letter saying it was about a month, that is between 4 days ago and in 2 days time. I have been thinking it's towards the later but it's still a risk."

"Oh, that's why you have been over protective with Tia, I mean more so, these last few days."

"I know, I'm a bad mom."

"Buffy, you're trying to keep her safe." Angel holds her hands and pulls her closer. "We'll keep her safe. No matter what."

Buffy smiles and nods. She trusted him.

Few hours later Tia was jumping up and down around the rooms. She wanted to go but first they needed to have lunch.

"Tia will you come and sit down so you can eat. Once you are finish we will get our shoes on and head out. The Scooby gang will met us there." Tia walks to the table and sits down to each her sandwiches and crisps. "Thank you."

Angel walks down the stairs and kisses Buffy on the head and then Tia. "So what kind of animal do you want your mommy you to win for you?"

"Ermm…" Tia thinks for a while, "A bear, no a fish, no a dog, no…" She looks around. "I don't know."

"Well see what is there and don't leave until you have one?" Angel smiles.

"Okay." Tia smiles and starts to eat her crisps.

Buffy gets up and walks upstairs to get Tia's shoes and her own.

"Buffy?" Angel has followed her upstairs. "It's okay to spend the money I give you. It's for you and Tia and it makes life easier for you and happier for Tia."

"I don't want her to be spoilt."

"She won't be. It's only once in a while, it's a way I can get bonus points."

"You don't need bonus points she loves you anyways." Buffy turns to look at him.

"I wasn't talking about Tia. I need to make up for leaving you."

"Money isn't going to do that. You being here with me looking after my daughter is doing that." Buffy smiles and kisses Angel.

"You sure she'll be happy with them shoes?" Angel asks looking at Buffy's hand to see two little shoes in them.

"She will be running around like mad, trainers stay on her feet. She will wear them."

They laugh and hear Tia walking up the stairs.

"Can we go yet?" She asks in a sweet voice that will melt anyone's heart.

"Yep punkin, just sit down so I can put your shoes one."

Tia moves to the bed and sits on the edge, lifting one foot for Buffy to put the shoe on then the other. Buffy gets her shoes on and Angel picks up Tia and walks down the stairs with Buffy.

"You be good and do as mommy says okay?" Tia nods at Angel then kisses his cheek.

Angel puts her on the floor, kisses Buffy and hands her some money for the prizes. Buffy then takes Tia's hand and walks out the door.

On the way Tia skips and is smiling hugely. "Can I go on rides with you?"

Buffy nods.

"And Xander?"

"Yep."

"And Willow?"

"Yep"

"And-"

"You can go on with everyone at some point okay?" Buffy says smiling.

They get to the fair and just before the entrance the Scooby gang are waiting.

"Hey Tia." Xander says, Tia sticks out her arms and Xander picks her up and puts her on his shoulder.

"You ready for the fun?" He asks the tiny Buffy. She nods. "Then, let the fun begin-n-n" Xander says running around a little making Tia laugh. Buffy walks into the fair with Willow, Tara, Anya and even Giles.

AN: This wasn't containing everything I wanted but believe me the next chapter is going to be good and I want to make it perfect!
