FPOV.
Today is the day. I'm so fuckin excited I'm gonna really see my little girl after almost three years. You don't even know. But my excitement made Buffy happy. Especially last night when Max left.
Flashback-
After I told Max I'd take him to school he left the room and I turned to Buffy. She looked a little confused.
"Are you alright?" she asked me. I nodded quickly. She gave me a look sayin 'yeah right' and I just...acted on impulse I guess. I flipped her over onto her back quickly and kissed her. She let out a surprised squeak and wrapped her arms and legs around me. I gotta admit I love the feelin. She kissed me back just as eagerly. Finally I ran my tongue over her bottom lip and she opened her mouth really quickly. She sucked on my tongue and I moaned. She flipped us over and straddled me but this didn't bother me. Much. Well ok so it did cus I gave her like, thirty seconds on top before I reclaimed my position. I started to kiss down her jaw and neck. I got to her chest and she snapped out of her 'moan-athon.'
"Wait. Faith, baby, stop." she said breathing hard. I pulled back and sat on the heels of my feet. Her legs fell from around my hips and she looked up at me.
"You wanna stop?" I asked raising an eyebrow. She gave me another crazy look.
"Hell no! But we need to wait." she said sadly. I nodded.
"You're right." cus I know just as well as she does that had we kept goin...well Buffy woulda been a very pleased woman. I sighed and made a move to lay back beside her but she pulled me back down between her legs. "Uh...B?" I asked. She shook her head.
"Sorry...just...this is comfortable." she said. I nodded and laid my head on her chest. "So what brought about this sudden...excitement?" she asked. I smiled really big like and picked up my head.
"Buffy you won't fucking believe it!" I exclaimed. "Megan is here! Well ok not here here because if she was I'd be royally pissed that she'd been in my house the whole time and I've been looking high and low for her and that'd be real fucked up ya know that if I just got up in the mornin and walked into the kitchen and she was sitting at the table with her little Elmo. Like hello, I've bee-" she stopped me.
"Baby! Breath. You sound like Willow on speed." she said chuckling slightly. I almost blushed. Almost dammit! It didn't happen so don't look at me like that. Anyway.
"Sorry B. It's just...she's been in the high school. This entire time she's been so close yet so far away and tomorrow she's coming home." I said happily. She smiled at me warmly.
"I'm happy for you." she said. I looked at her cus somethin was wrong.
"What's wrong?" I asked. I couldn't figure it out just looking at her.
"Nothin." she said. I looked at her closely. "What are we going to do about Wesley. I don't want him around your daughter anymore than you do but what if we can't stop it a-and..." she trailed off.
"Tell me what's on your mind Buffy." I said nudgin her with my hips a little. She smiled knowing I could read her mind but decided to respect her privacy. For once.
"What if he's known this whole time? What if Willow's known and didn't say anything? What if everyone has known?!" she asked. Well I thought it was a semi-off question but the more I thought about it, the more sense it made to think about that.
"If they knew, Megan is gonna tell me. Even if she never saw em she'll know they knew about this. And if anyone did, I'll handle them the same way I'm gonna handle Wesley." I said. She smiled at me a little.
"Let me handle him." she said. I nodded.
"You can do that while me and Max go get her." I said. She shook her head.
"I'm coming with you." she said.
"B-" she cut me off.
"Nope. I'm helping you. This is your daughter we're talking about here. The smile you have on your face when you think about her? Is something I would like to see more of. I've never seen you so happy so I want to help you get her back into your life." she told me. I smiled and we made out for another hour or so before we went to bed.
End Flashback-
"Faith!" I hear. I look up from the pancakes I'm makin.
"Huh?" I say walkin into the livin room. Dawn, B, and Max are in there. Mrs. Summers is gone to work.
"Dawn wants to help." Max says. I look at Dawn then B.
"What are you good at?" I ask.
"You can't be seriously considering this!" Buffy says. I nod.
"Yeah I am. Somethin bout your sister B. She's not like everybody else, she's fuckin powerful and she's gotta learn." I say.
"I-I'm not like everybody else?" Dawn asks me. I shake my head.
"Nah, way cooler." I say with a wink. She looks relieved. Yeah, never tell a teenage girl she's not like everybody else unless you wanna get it.
"Faith, she's a child." B says. I look at her.
"So is Max." I say. Buffy looks exasperated.
"He's a god." she says. I shrug.
"And she's powerful. Look, we wont let her do anything too heavy duty. You'll be there, I'll be there, and Max will be there. She'll be fine. Plus she's stronger than you're givin her credit for." I try to calm her. She looks like she wants to blow a fuse.
"I don't care I don't want my sister getting hurt!" she yells. I'm about to respond when I sniff.
"Shit." I say dashing for the kitchen. Nobody's gonna eat those. I toss the burnt-cakes into the trash and go back to the living room. "I don't want her hurt either but I don't think she will be. Now, D, What are ya good at?" I ask. She thinks.
"Hand to hand so far. Max has been sparring with me a little, I totally kicked his ass." she says proudly. Max just grumbles. She's also good with weapons but we don't want Buffy to have a heart attack. I hear. I nod. I look at Buffy.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I ask grabbin her arm before she can reply.
"F-" I cut her off.
"Buffy, Max thinks she can do it and I trust his judgment. She is the sister of a slayer so do you really think that she doesn't know what she's doing." I state. She looks at me.
"We don't let her fight." she says.
"Doesn't mean she don't practice. Look Buffy, if it makes you feel better I'll keep her outside on look out with Max and we'll go inside." I say.
"I just..." she stops.
"She'll be fine." I say. And that's the end of that. Now, to the school.
MPOV.
We just got to this place where I waste eight hours out of my day on a regular basis. But for once I'm happy to be here. My niece is comin home today.
"Hey, since it's obvious that our sisters are so going to end up married, would that make us like brother and sister?" Dawn whispers to me. I brighten.
"Hell yeah. They just need to hurry up. Dude! You'd totally be Megan's aunt or somethin." I say. She smiles and Faith turns to us.
"Plannin a weddin are ya?"she asks. I nod.
"Hell yeah, somebody has to do it since yo-" Dawn slaps her hand over my mouth.
"Shh. Let them be slow all by themselves." she says. I nod. Adults. Weird creatures.
"Aite, B, you're goin in with me. I want you to do me a favor, don't show mercy. If somebody or somethin comes at you, don't just knock it out. If its comin at ya chances are its gonna kill ya. Return the favor. Now, D and Max, I want you two to keep look out. If you need to go to class, go. But if you can stay outside this door, stay." she says. I nod and so does Dawn.
"Be careful. Both of you." Buffy says kissin Dawn's forehead then thinkin about whether or not she should do the same to me. Finally she decides she is and kisses my forehead.
"Yeah yeah, now go 'head with all ya girly germs and cooties and whatnot." I say. She smiles at me and
Faith kisses my cheek. "What is this national give Max cooties day? Girls!" I exclaim and they smile and go through the door. Once it's shut I have a bad feelin. "Somethin aint right." I say. Dawn looks at me then the door before Buffy comes sailing through. Faith rushes up after her but doesn't come out.
"Get this building empty!" she says before shutting the door. I don't even take a second to think before springin into action. I help Buffy up and we make our way to the principals office.
"Hey, my name is Buffy Summers and I need to check Max-" I cut her off.
"Justin."
"Justin Lehane and Dawn Summers out for the day." she says. The secretary nods and checks my records. Please let Buffy's name be on my release list. Please plea-
"Alright Ms. Summers, sign here." she says handing Buffy the check out sheet. Buffy scribbles her name down quickly before handing the woman her ID. The lady looks at the screen and nods. "Have a good day." she says. We smile and walk out casually. Are you safe? I hear. Yeah but the school is still full. I reply. Get it cleared out. Now Justin. She says firmly. I get into the car and as we drive away I call the school and disguise my voice.
"Hello thank you for calling Sunnydale High School. This is Talia speaking how may I help you?" the secretary answers.
"Good morning ma'am, this is Frederick Jones with the Sunnydale police department, my son attends you're school and he just recently called me. He was so afraid when he said he heard a strange beeping noise coming from behind one of the doors there that he didn't think to inform the school. Seeing as how I'm an officer myself my son has been around countless noises as such but he firmly believes there is a bomb in the school. Now, if you would please evacuate the building, I'll send a bomb squad over immediately. There should be an officer, Annette Bradshaw, entering momentarily to inform you face to face." I say. Buffy stares at me because I do sound funny. All old and...well...smart and stuff.
"Please hold sir." she says and I hear the other officer. Damn I'm good. Only problem? I don't know how the fuck I did it. Oh well. "Alright. Thank you so much officer Jones. I'll evacuate immediately." she says. I just tell her alright and close my phone.
"Stop the car." I say suddenly. We're not very far from the school but we're far enough. Buffy quickly obliges and I get out. As soon as I'm out though, the school explodes. It doesn't phase me but Buffy lets out a sob and so does Dawn. I just walk towards it.
"Max!" but I don't answer her. I break out into a sprint and instead of running through the front I run around to the back. She's aite. Both of em are. I can feel it. So why isn't there any sign of life?
Originally, this chapter was longer, and way different. But this just stuck. So I'll make sure I update soon for ya. review!
