Chapter 2: And the Curtain Rises

"No mom I'm defiantly coming to Christmas. Yeah mom I know. Mom Xander has always been like that. Okay mom I have to go. Bye." Buffy said as she hung up with her mom.
"Mommy." Rory said as she walked up to the couch.
"Yes dumpling?"
"Do we get to meet our gramma?"
Buffy laughed as she listened to her little girl say grandma. "Yes sweetie, but don't get your hopes up about your grandparents. They've never really been into families."
"Oh. Okay mommy I promise I wont." Rory smiled and ran away.
Buffy sighed and sat back to admire her apartment. When she first moved to New York her parents bought a penthouse apartment for her that Willow and her refused, but after the twins were born they ended up accepting the offer. The apartment had become her home and to earn extra money, Buffy sold her artwork and worked part time making greeting for greeting cards and still went to school 3 times a week. It didn't pay much, but they never went hungry and the artwork that was to precious to sell hung on their walls. Mostly drawings of the twins as babies and Xander's kids. Buffy always thought that her home was beautiful and that her kids were magical. All the more reason why she never told her folks. But that would all change in a few days. Buffy was coming home for Christmas. "What have I gotten myself into." Buffy said as she laid down on the couch.

"Okay guys now I need you to be extra good okay?" Buffy said as she turned around in the front seat of their rental car.
"Yes mama." The twins echoed from the back seat. Buffy smiled and got out to get the kids out.
"Hey Buffy." Xander said as he walked over to hug his sister.
"Xander." Buffy said as she put Hayden down and hugged Xander.
"Good to see ya sis."
"You too. Where's Anya?"
"Inside. Hey guys." Xander said as he leaned down to hug the twins.
"Uncle Xander." They both yelled as they jumped on Xander. Xander and Anya were the only two that knew about the twins. They were also usually the only reason she came back to LA.
"Ready for this sis?" Xander asked as he scooped up Hayden.
"As I'll ever be." Buffy said as she picked up Rory.

"Mom are you here?" Buffy said as she walked in. "Xander where's Anya?"
Xander, who'd been playing with Hayden, turned to Buffy. "Sleeping. So are Molly and Danny."
Buffy nodded as she set Rory down and told her to stay put. Xander did the same with Hayden and followed Buffy into the foyer between the hallway they were just in and the living room.
"Stop." Someone screamed.
"You hear that?" Buffy asked Xander.
"Yep. Let's go." He said he opened the living room door.
"Oh my god." Darla said as she pushed the man she's obviously been sleeping with off of her.
"Mother what the hell are you." Buffy said as she walked in. But she noticed something The man her mother was banging looked familiar. And when she looked closer she realized the he looked like Xander.
"Who are you?" Xander asked as he came up with the same conclusion.
"Um Xander honey I can explain. You see Mr. McDonald was."
"Mom I know what sex is. I don't need you making up excuses." Xander said as he glanced at his mother before turning back to Mr. McDonald. "So Mr. McDonald. How long?"
Mr. McDonald, who had been silent this whole time, looked at Xander. "What?"
"How long have you been boinking our mother?" Buffy said as she walked up next to her brother.
Darla and Mr. McDonald looked at each other then looked at Buffy and Xander. "22 years." Darla said.
"So I was right." Buffy said.
"About what?" Mr. McDonald said.
"You're our real father aren't you?" Xander asked as he walked towards the man.
"What?" Mr. McDonald said.
"Us. Me and Xander here. Notice how we look exactly like you? Well we're wondering why."
Mr. McDonald looked at Buffy and Xander then back at Darla. "Darla is this true?"
Darla looked at her children and finally realized her secret was out. "Lindsey they're yours."
"What?"
"I always meant to tell you, but I never did and for that I'm sorry."
Lindsey stood up and looked at Darla. "I need to leave. I suddenly…hell I'm freaking out so I need to go." He said as he walked away.
Darla slowly sank down to the couch and looked at her children. "I'm so sorry."
Xander moved across the room to his mother and glared down at her. "How could you?"
"Xander you don't understand."
"Oh I understand perfectly mother. You wanted a good lay without the consequences, but then we happened and you reeled dad in with lies."
"No honey that's not."
"Don't lie to me mother. You've already done enough of that." Xander said as he got into his mother's face.
"Xander stop. Let's here her out first." Buffy, who'd been quiet for a while, said as she sat next to her mother.
Darla looked up at her daughter then her son. "I know that this is bad."
"Mother just tell us." Buffy said.
"Okay…it was when I was just getting out of the business and I met Lindsey. He was a sweet guy for the most part but I was crazy about your father. So Lindsey and I went and had a one night stand. We were both hoping that we could cure whatever lust it was that was driving us to each other. But then I found out I was pregnant. So I got with your father and convinced him that you were his children. He just figures that someone in my family tree has the same facial features, eye color and hair as you two do."
Xander glared at his mother and left the room.
Buffy looked at her mother and sighed. "Mom I have no idea why you did that. That's your own stupid ass mistake, but I guess like mother like daughter."
"Buffy what are you talking about?"
"Mom I have two wonderful little people that I would like you to meet."
"What?"
"Hold on I'll be right back mom." Buffy said as she got up to get the twins.
Hayden and Rory walked in with Buffy a couple minutes later. "Mom I'd like you to meet my children."
