Not the ideal ending but, it's something. Gives a little closure. Review people and thanks for reading.
BPOV.
One minute I heard Max and Faith talking and the next....the next there was another explosion. I still remember that day clearly. It scared the hell out of me. But I didn't have to worry about anything. They came out alright. Better than alright actually. They came out damn good. That was about a month ago though but everybody's adjusting. Megan's a little shy around me. She usually hides behind Faith. Faith and Megan. God its amazing how much she looks like her. It's like....staring at a mini Faith. She's so adorable! I absolutely adore that child. But enough about that, I need to get a little sleep. That, and Faith's a really comfy pillow so I'm getting tired. God Buffy, stop mind rambling. Shut up. Stop it!
FPOV.(dream)
the wall blows out and debris falls everywhere. There's something heavy on my back and it's getting heavier.
"Anybody in here?!" I hear. I groan.
"Yeah!" I yell. I move my hand a little and shake Max. he doesn't respond right away but I'm not too worried at the moment. Right now I want these people to move so I can get from over him and check on him.
"Where are you!?" why the hell is this lady talkin so loud.
"Under the wall!" I yell back. Why the hell am I talkin so loud?
"Shhh...five more minutes Fai...." Max mumbles. Yeah, I really don't need to worry. I feel the wall on my back shift slightly and let out a breath and move a little. The rest of it comes off steadily until I can almost sit up. But it hurts way too damn much.
"Miss? Miss stay put. I think you have a few broken bones, just stay like that." the lady says. She sounds vaguely familiar but I can't place it.
"Megan?" I call out ignoring her and getting up anyway. "Get him up there and find Buffy Summers. She's sorta short, blond hair, hazel eyes, petite. She'll probably be panicking." I say. She nods staring at me with wide eyes. I don't recognize her either. But I do. Aw hell, I think I mighta hit my head a little. "Go!" I yell. She runs to get help I guess and I move to the bed. "Megan!" I try again since she didn't answer me the first time. I hear a sniffle then a tiny hand come from under the bed.
"It scared me." she says. I bend down, back protesting the whole way and pick her up. A few seconds later a stretcher rolls in followed by what looks like EMTs. Hmm. The lady from before looks at me and smiles.
"Its amazing what you can get people to do at gun point." she says sounding smug. Then it dawns on me.
"Kate....who did you threaten?" I ask. She shrugs. Well her blurry outline shrugs.
"Just some random person I found coming down here to the err..base?" she tries. I shake my head and look to see them wheeling Max out. I follow out with Kate behind me keepin me steady while I'm holdin Megan. When I get outside it's too bright for my eyes so close them but snap them open at the sound of my name.
"Faith?!" and B's about to crush me with a hug. She rushes over, followed by the half pint, and they both hug me tightly.
"I-I saw them wheel Max a-an-" I cut Dawn off.
"We're all gonna be alright." I say. "He just hit his head and probably has some dust or smoke in his lungs." I say. "I'm gonna get her checked out and I'll be back." I say. They both nod and I make my way over to one of the trucks. A few minutes pass and they have one of those oxygen mask thingys hooked to our faces. B and Dawn make their way over while I hear Max complainin. I can't help but smile. When they're close enough, I tap Megan so she turns to see them.
"Guys, this is Megan, Megan, this is Buffy and Dawn." I say. She smiles and waves.
"Hi..." she says shyly.
"Aww, you are too cute!" dawn gushes. My little girl giggles and hides in my shoulder. Buffy leans over quickly to kiss my forehead. Yeah, we're gonna be just alright.
End dream.
I sit up in bed quickly and flop back with a groan.
"Why are you moving so much?" B asks her face reburied in my shoulder. I sigh.
"I had the dream again." I tell her. Just about everyday since we got her back, I've had this dream, memory. She rolls out of the bed and we make our way to the usual spots. Checkin in on Megan and Max. Megan, as always, is sleeping peacefully with her Elmo plush toy and Max...well...
"No! Get away evil corn dog!" he's max. "Mmm ketchup." B and I roll our eyes and make our way back to my room.
"I swear Faith, your brother channels homer Simpson in his sleep." I nod agreeing.
"I know." I say. We lay back down, settling down in to comfortableness I've gotten used too. I think back on the past month. I haven't heard a peep from Wes. Angel and Cordy called yesterday. We figured out that, as I thought, Red was under a spell and we fixed that. She still doesn't feel safe with me bein here but.... Rome wasn't built in a day. It was easier to win over Anya, Tara, and Xander. I dunno why exactly but it was and I'm grateful. At times, I think Xan doesn't trust me fully, but I'll work for it. Cus B wants me too. Speakin of B, we haven't been out. Like no date of nothin. We're both still single so I'm not sure whats stoppin us. If your wonderin about our current arrangement well then we just usually sleep here at mine. Yeah, she visits home a lot too but after patrol, she usually just drops here. All we do is sleep.
"Faith?" and I like it.
"Yeah?"
"Will... will you go on a date with me Friday night?" she asks. I grin.
"I'd like that B." I say. These three days are gonna pass like molasses but I can wait. Cus I got what I really came here for. My daughter. But it also seems like I'm gonna get the girl too. Its amazing how life can change over the course of a year or so. But I'm glad it changed for the better.
"Good. Now go back to sleep." she says yawning. Yeah, things are lookin up.
