AN: Hey! Yes I'm updating two days in a raw. I'm really excited to get this out there. I've had this idea in my head since before I wrote the first part for this 'episode'. Enjoy!

Daddy Don't Believe In Demons? Pt 2

"Dad?" Shawn shouted into his father's house. "What are you doing?"

Shawn's father was sitting on the couch, playing Shawn's Xbox.

"Who knew these machines were so fun. You can shoot someone, but without all the guilt and remorse afterwards." Henry said excitedly, shooting the virtual human down.

"Dad! That's mine!" Shawn complained, turning the TV off.

"Hey!" Henry shouted, "I was passing my high score!" Henry moaned.

"Boys, stop fighting. Or, I'll get the belt out." Buffy sighed, walking into the living room, nibbling on a cookie.

Henry's face lit up, "How's my pumpkin?"

Buffy smiled. "Your pumpkin's fine. But, she's worried you're not getting enough vitamin C." She opened the red blinds, and Henry hissed and covered his face with his arms.

"I want my Xbox!" Shawn complained, "Buffy, tell him!"

Buffy sighed and turned to her father, "You have to finish painting the house first, dad."

"I did-" Buffy cut Shawn off.

"Behind the bushes and trees count, too." She scolded.

"Don't forget the back of the house, too!" Henry encouraged.

"You didn't get behind the house?" Buffy asked incredulously.

"No one ever sees those places." Her father complained.

"You know what? You two figure this out, I'm going to go call Angel on his 'break time'." Buffy muttered, walking into the kitchen, towards the phone.

"I'm not doing it, dad! Now, give me my damn Xbox!" Shawn shouted.

Buffy picked up the phone, and dialed Angel's number.

"Hello?" Angel's mom, Elizabeth, answered.

"Hello , can I talk to Angel? It's Buffy." She stated in a cheerful tone.

"Buffy? Hello, dear. Yes, of course you can." Elizabeth shouted to Angel who came to the phone in a split second.

"Hey babe." Angel spoke, smiling.

"Hey."

"Any new cases?"

"Yeah. There was a suicide. Or a possession. Or a suicide-possession. I'm still a bit fuzzy on what we're leaning towards." Buffy filled in her boyfriend.

They talked a few more minutes about mindless stuff, until Buffy informed him that she had to go because they were about to perform an exorcism.


Neill kissed the shrug after doing the motioning of the cross, laying it gently over his shoulders.

As he entered the small room of Lucy's he called Shawn and Gus into the room with him.

"I wanna go! Dad! I wanna see!" Buffy begged.

Shawn, still not believing in the possession, finally gave in and nodded his head.

Neill shut the door behind them, and switched off the lights, and lighting precisely three candles.

"Buffy, please stand behind me at all times. Some demons like to move from body to body." Neill requested.

"Yes father." She spoke, doing as he asked.

"Gus, Shawn hold down Lucy."

They did as told also, holding down Lucy's sleeping form.

Neill began chanting:

"In the Name of the Father,

and of the Son,

and of the Holy Ghost.

Amen.

Most glorious Prince of the Heavenly Armies,

Saint Michael the Archangel,

defend us in "our battle against principalities and powers,

against the rulers of this world of darkness,

against the spirits of wickedness in the high places

Come to the assistance of men whom God has created to His likeness

and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil.

The Holy Church venerates you as her guardian and protector;

to you, the Lord has entrusted the souls of the redeemed to be led into heaven.

Pray therefore the God of Peace to crush Satan beneath our feet,

that he may no longer retain men captive and do injury to the Church.

Offer our prayers to the Most High,

that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us;

take hold of "the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan,"

bind him and cast him into the bottomless pit

"that he may no longer seduce the nations."

At this point, Lucy was up and thrashing. She hissed as Father Neill sprinkled holy water on her.

She twisted her head to look at Shawn, "You're hot." She drawled.

"Hey!" Buffy shouted, "Ew!"

"Thank you. I mean, you're a little young-" Gus cut Shawn off.

"The demon will say anything to distract you!"

"Is it that hard to believe she really thinks I'm-"

"In the Name of Jesus Christ,

our God and Lord,

strengthened by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary,

Mother of God,

of Blessed Michael the Archangel,

of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul and all the Saints.

and powerful in the holy authority of our ministry,

we confidently undertake to repulse the attacks and deceits of the devil.

God arises;

His enemies are scattered

and those who hate Him flee before Him.

As smoke is driven away,

so are they driven;

as wax melts before the fire,

so the wicked perish at the presence of God.

V. Behold the Cross of the Lord, flee bands of enemies.

R. The Lion of the tribe of Juda, the offspring of David, hath conquered.

V. May Thy mercy, Lord, descend upon us.

R. As great as our hope in Thee.

We drive you from us,

whoever you may be,

unclean spirits,

all satanic powers,

all infernal invaders,

all wicked legions,

assemblies and sects.

In the Name and by the power of Our Lord Jesus Christ,

+ may you be snatched away and driven from the Church of God

and from the souls made to the image and likeness of God

and redeemed by the Precious Blood of the Divine Lamb.

+ Most cunning serpent,

you shall no more dare to deceive the human race,

persecute the Church,

torment God's elect and sift them as wheat.

+ The Most High God commands you,

+ He with whom,

in your great insolence,

you still claim to be equal.

"God who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." [1 Tim. 2:4)

God the Father commands you.

+ God the Son commands you.

+ God the Holy Ghost commands you.

+ Christ, God's Word made flesh, commands you;

+ He who to save our race outdone through your envy,

"humbled Himself,

becoming obedient even unto death" [Phil. 2:8);

He who has built His Church on the firm rock

and declared that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Her,

because He will dwell with Her "all days even to the end of the world." [Mt. 28:20]

The sacred Sign of the Cross commands you,

+ as does also the power of the mysteries of the Christian Faith.

+ The glorious Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, commands you;

+ she who by her humility

and from the first moment of her Immaculate Conception crushed your proud head.

The faith of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul,

and of the other Apostles commands you.

+ The blood of the Martyrs

and the pious intercession of all the Saints command you. +

Thus, cursed dragon, and you, diabolical legions,

we adjure you by the living God,

+ by the true God,

+ by the holy God,

+ by the God

"who so loved the world that He gave up His only Son,

that every soul believing in Him

might not perish but have life everlasting;" [ . 3:16]

stop deceiving human creatures

and pouring out to them the poison of eternal damnation;

stop harming the Church and hindering her liberty.

Begone, Satan, inventor and master of all deceit,

enemy of man's salvation.

Give place to Christ in Whom you have found none of your works;

give place to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church

acquired by Christ at the price of His Blood.

Stoop beneath the all-powerful Hand of God;

tremble and flee when we invoke the Holy and terrible Name of Jesus,

this Name which causes hell to tremble,

this Name to which the Virtues,

Powers and Dominations of heaven are humbly submissive,

this Name which the Cherubim and Seraphim praise unceasingly repeating:

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord, the God of Hosts.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come unto Thee.

V. May the Lord be with thee.

R. And with thy spirit.

Let us pray.

God of heaven,

God of earth,

God of Angels,

God of Archangels,

God of Patriarchs,

God of Prophets,

God of Apostles,

God of Martyrs,

God of Confessors,

God of Virgins,

God who has power to give life after death and rest after work:

because there is no other God than Thee and there can be no other,

for Thou art the Creator of all things,

visible and invisible,

of Whose reign there shall be no end,

we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy glorious Majesty

and we beseech Thee to deliver us by Thy power

from all the tyranny of the infernal spirits,

from their snares,

their lies and their furious wickedness.

Deign, O Lord,

to grant us Thy powerful protection

and to keep us safe and sound.

We beseech Thee through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

V. From the snares of the devil,

R. Deliver us, O Lord.

V. That Thy Church may serve Thee in peace and liberty:

R. We beseech Thee to hear us.

V. That Thou may crush down all enemies of Thy Church:

R. We beseech Thee to hear us."

Lucy soon stopped thrashing crazily.

"Good lord! She isn't possessed!" Neill let out


"My thoughts are that she wanted Agatha's boyfriend, doped Agatha up, it ended in suicide, she thought that if she passed it off as possession, it wouldn't ever be revealed." Buffy stated.

The others agreed.


"So, um. Oh yeah. My last confession." Shawn stated in the confession booth, Father Neill on the other side."My last confession was one, two, 15 years ago."

Father Neill rolled his eyes.

"Uh, I've sinned a lot. Um, let's start with small ones. Dirty thoughts. That's a sin, right?" Shawn questioned.

Neill sighed, chuckling, "Yes, my son."

"Okay then I've had a lot of those. A lot."


Two hours later, Shawn was just finishing up.

"I think that's all."

"Sex before marriage." Neill reminded Shawn.

Shawn sighed, "I can't see that as a sin, Father."

"But, it is."

"But I don't see it as one. Buffy is the best thing that has ever happened to me. No matter when she was born, no matter if I was only 15 at the time, Buffy is not a sin. She's a blessing." Shawn spoke, getting ready to leave.

Just as Shawn was about to leave, Neill called him. "Shawn?"

"Yes father?"

"I'm proud of you. And your daughter. You did a good job boy."

Shawn smiled.
