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."
