Faith pov.

I feel fuckin great! It's been almost a year since the whole glory thing went down and I couldn't be doin better. Today I go back to sunnydale. Me and B have been talkin as much as possible between work and Julian for me and school and slayin for her it hasn't been much. I've been in LA getting used to my new powers and let me tell ya. These things are fuckin bad ass! No lie. I can fuckin fly! Can you believe that?! But I'm still tryina control em cus I don't wanna get all pissed one day and set somebody on fire. But that's ok. I'm workin on it. Now to my little man. Julian. He's been the best son a woman could ask for. I don't have too many problems outta him. Just the typical ones...can I stay up for five more minutes...but I don't like vegetables...uncle Spike attacked my stake. You know stuff like that. But I mean. The kid is strong. And energetic. Cordy jokes that he's really my biological kid who got trapped in another womans body.

"Mommy?" I hear. I turn back and glance at him quickly before puttin my eyes back on the road. I don't think life can be better. I even tied up some loose ends with G-man. He's not so bad.

"Yeah kiddo?" I answer. Chasity chose to go home and live with our real dad. She pops in to visit from time to time and tell me how the hell kingdom is. I know, strange ass conversations. But eh, she's happy now. Even got a boyfriend. Some kinda half breed demon. Ya know, hell aint like people describe it. Its actually pretty...calm.

"We gonna go see Buffy and Dawn and Mrs. Joyce?" he asks. He's missed them even though he gets to talk to them almost every night. When he was stayin with Cordy cus I couldn't watch him some nights, she'd call them so he could sleep better. He even stayed with Damien from time to time. They're pretty cool.

"Yeah, we're gonna go see them." I say. Nobody acknowledges the fact that he's my brother like nobody sees Damien as his brother. They see me as his mother and Damien as his uncle. We couldn't be happier with that. I even got in touch with Kennedy. She doesn't like me much. That's cool cus I gave her what she needed. Her money til she's eighteen and now, we have nothin to do with each other. Julian even called her the mean lady who don't know how to smile.

"We gonna stay?" he asks. I nod.

"Yep, this is gonna be our new home." I say. He's been lookin forward to comin back since we left.

"Wadda about grandpa?" he asks. I nod. Ah, Wesley. He came with us. Well ahead of us really. He said he wanted the house set up so when we got here, we'd be good to go. He wanted to stay but the want to come with was greater so he tagged along. It caused a real big argument about who was stayin and who was goin. I kept tellin them that, sunnydale is gonna have two slayers so it won't need a whole demon fightin team. But they wouldn't have it. So Angel opened up another Angel Investigations here in SunnyD and Cordy and Wes and Fred are gonna run it. Gunn decided to stay with Fang along with four recruits.

"He's gonna meet us at the house with Auntie Cordy." I say. He nods. I knew as soon as Cordy and Fred said they were comin, that I had a team. Of little Faith's at my call. Hehe. But I won't do that. Cus y'know we're all equal in this.

"Uncle Damien gonna visit soon?" he asks. I nod. Damien was one'a the recruits. And believe it or not Kennedy and her girlfriend were two more. She said just cus she hates this family doesn't mean she hates this world so she's gonna do what she can to help save it.

"Yeah. Maybe this weekend." I say. He nods sittin back in his car seat.

"We there yet?" Spike asks. You know I forgot he was here.

"No." I say. He lays his head against the window again and starts to nod off. "We'll be there in two minutes." I say. He nods. I look over at the time. 1:30. No wonder he wants to hurry up. He wants to be back in his crypt before two o'clock. "I still can't believe I bought a car like this cus'a you." I mutter. I got a car like Angel's. Special glass so my vampire buddy over here doesn't go up in flames.

"Yeah yeah." he says waving me off. I pull up outside the cemetery and look to him.

"You got it?" I ask. He takes his finding Nemo blanket that Julian gave him to keep him safe and nods.

"Got it luv." he says. Then he opens the door and takes off. He races to his crypt and he's inside with only a little smoke comin from him. But I wait. Finally my cell rings and his face pops up on the caller id. "I'm inside. See ya tomorrow." he says before hangin up. I close my phone and throw it over into the passenger seat.

"Ready to go see Buffy and the gang?" I ask. Julian nods his head happily and we drive off. He won't see the official scooby gang til tomorrow probably but he's excited nonetheless. We pull up outside Buffy's house and I can't help but think this should be good since we're a week and a half early. I get out quietly and get him outta his car seat. He hates the thing cus he says big boys don't need him. And I tell him big boys need to be safe. So he pouts and deals with it. We get to the front door with him holdin my hand tightly and I can't help but look at him and smile. Finally someone opens the door and I think I just went deaf from Dawn's squeal. She hugs me quickly before pickin Julian up and rushin inside. I step in behind her and she yells up to B that she has a visitor. I'm standin in the living room lookin around then I feel her walk down and I turn and see her smile. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger until she squeals like Dawn did and rushes me. She hugs me really tightly for a minute and lets go but I keep my arms around her. She just lays her head on my chest and sighs.

"I missed you." she says. I nod and kiss the top'a her head.

"Me too B." I say. She pulls back a little.

"Does this mean we can start now?" she asks hopefully. We've been talkin about it on the phone and we've made progress. We know a lot about each other and there is some trust startin to peak its way through. Now all we gotta do is the datin thing.

"Yeah. Wanna go out with me sometime?" I ask boldly. I'm not scared of her rejectin me cus she's made it pretty clear that aint gonna happen.

"Yes. What took you so long to ask?" she asks playfully. I shrug.

"I dunno." I say. We sit on the couch for a while before I notice movement in the corner of my eye. I turn my head and can't help but laugh at the sight. Julian covered from head to toe in flour. Buffy looks over and giggles. "What happened?" I ask. He walks towards us.

"The flour was jealous of my new outfit." he says offering me a cookie. "So I had to beated it up and turn it into cookies." he says. I chuckle and take the offered cookie. He looks at Buffy and cocks his head to the side. "Cookie?" he asks offerin her some'a his cookie. She nods and takes a piece.

"Thank you kind sir." she says. He smiles and sits on the floor in front'a us. Pretty good cookie if I say so myself. After a few minutes in silence Buffy sits up. She looks at Julian and picks him up quickly tickling him. He's gigglin and squirmin and she's laughin up a storm. Finally he breaks free and laughs.

"Betcha can't catch me." he says runnin towards the back yard. B looks at me and we get up and chase him. We spend a few hours runnin around in the backyard with him, Dawn, and even joyce. Just havin a good time. Tonight we decided not to patrol and did somethin better. Me, B, and Julian sat in the backyard where we got a clear view of the sky and B talked to him about the stars. B's a lot smarter than she acts. He listened fascinated and I just watched. After they quieted down we all just sat there. Him leanin with his head on her chest sittin in her lap and her leanin against my shoulder. She sat up and smiled at me and I smiled back.

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything

we stared at each other for a few minutes before Julian yawned. He just snuggled back into Buffy more and drifted off to sleep. And that's how we stayed for a while.

So that's it. The story of Faith Lehane. Not the adventure you'd make a movie about but I think it was worth tellin. Got the kid, got the girl, got the family. So is my story over? I think so.

"Faith hurry up! We're gonna be late for Julian's first day of first grade!" B yells from my kitchen. Ah who am I kiddin? My story's just beginning.

so...review please! The chorus of the song was Everything by Michael Buble
