Chapter 4:
"Oh my god, Willow what are we going to do? What if he saw the resemblance? Oh god, oh god." Buffy ranted as she walked around the room.
"Buffy. I know you don't want to hear this babe, but it might be for the best."
Buffy looked at Willow, who was cleaning up a little. "What? How can it be for the best? He didn't even know they existed let alone they are his," Buffy said as she sank into the chair with her head in her hands, "He left me Will. He left me for the stupidest reason ever. He left me!" Buffy said as she began to cry.
"Oh Buffy, Sweetie, it'll be okay. He didn't figure it out. I mean how could he right?"
"Oh Willow. Honey if he doesn't figure it out then he's stupid. He saw Hayden. You know just as well as I do just by looking at Hayden that he's William's." Buffy said as she looked at Willow. "He'd have to be dumb and blind."
Willow sighed and knew it was pointless. Nathan knew. How could he not. It was way more obvious than anything else.
"What am I going to do Willow?" Buffy said as she cried her eyes out.
"I know you think I'm being stupid, but Cordelia that boy…Hayden, he looked so much like me. A mirror image almost." William said as he paced the living room of Cordelia's small apartment.
"Sweetie, listen I know you might think that. But are you positive about this, because I saw no resemblance." Cordelia said as she walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"That's because you have no idea what I looked like as a child. Dam nit Cordelia I know what I saw!" William said as he pulled out of her grasp. "I know they're mine."
"How Will? How the hell do you know?"
William turned to look at her. "Their age. She told me that they're 3. And the last person in her life was only there for a year. So that means if she'd of had his kids then they'd only be a year or two. But Cordy, they're 3 years old…" Will said as he sank to the ground, "Buffy hid them from me for 3 years…hell longer if you count her pregnancy. Cordy…why'd she do this to me?"
Cordelia sat down beside him and pulled him into her arms. "I'm so sorry honey." She stroked his back lovingly as Will cried.
Will's head shot up a half hour later. "Her mom."
"What?" Cordelia asked.
"Her mom knows where she is I bet. All I have to do is called her." He said as he snatched the phone up and hit the buttons to the number he use to call frequently. "Hello Mrs. O'Conner…its William Giles…Where's Buffy?"
"I'll take them to the pool with me, Buffy." Willow said as she got her stuff together.
"Okay I think I'll take a nap." Buffy said as Rory and Hayden kissed her goodbye then left with Willow. Buffy yawned as she crawled up the bed and laid down to sleep.
-BOOM BOOM BOOM -
At the sound of someone banging on her door, Buffy shot out of bed. She looked at the clock and noticed she'd been sleep for almost an hour. "I'm coming" Buffy yelled as she got up to answer the door. "Willow did you forget your key again?" She said as she opened to door only to be met by a pissed off William. "William how did you?" She said before he stormed into the room.
"Are they here?"
Buffy looked down and
know the inevitable had happened.
"No they're with
Willow."
William nodded and sat in the chair by the desk.
Buffy shut the door and walked into the room. She sat down on the bed
closest to the door in case she needed to get out of the room quick.
"When Buffy?"
"I left the day after I found out."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"William I tried."
"When? When the fuck did you try?"
"Before I left, I called your house and your mom told me you didn't want to talk to me right now but to try your cell anyways because she was worried about you. So I did and you never answered. So I called Wes and he told me you wanted nothing to do with me. Like the break up was my fault. So I just left…gave you some time to get your thoughts and feelings together. Then I came back at Christmas to be with Xander and Anya. But I saw you with Dru. And…I couldn't. You looked so content. I…I just couldn't ruin that for you."
William looked up at Buffy as he saw the tears in her eyes. "You never told your mom."
"No I didn't want her to do to them what was done to me. But instead I did it to them."
William nodded. "I know. I called you mom to ask for you whereabouts, and she told me all about the Lindsey situation. Explains a lot huh?"
"Yeah I guess so." Buffy said quietly. They sat in silence until Buffy decided it needed to be broken. "Would you like to meet them Will?"
"Buffy I didn't get to tell you why I left."
"Yeah I know."
William stood up and crossed the distance and looked Buffy in the eyes. "Because you were leaving yes, but I was also scared. Buffy," Will said as he pushed a stray hair from her face, "I love you so much."
"What?" Buffy said as William leaned down and kissed her. Buffy was surprised but soon gave into the kiss as Will pulled her up and his hands found their way into her hair. Buffy wrapped her arms around his waist and moaned into Will's mouth as his hands wandered her body. But as quickly as it happened Will pulled away and left the room. Buffy had no idea what was going on. Her head felt fuzzy and her body felt like it had tiny bolts of electricity shooting through it. Buffy brought her hand up to her lips; they still tingled from the kiss. Suddenly it hit her; William had kissed her and told her he loved her. She laid down on the bed and let the tears flow.
William pulled into the driveway of his parent's house and shut the car off. "I kissed Buffy. I told her I loved her and I kissed her." William said as he laid his head back on the headrest. "No, I'm with Cordy. I can't go back to Buffy. She had m kids and never told me. I should hate her…but I don't. Hell part of me even understands why she did it. But god. No…no…no…I'm with Cordy." Will said as he got out of the car and looked towards the house. "FUCK!!" He said as he got back in his car.
"Hey sweetie we're leaving." Willow said as she woke up Buffy.
"What? Where are you going?" Buffy asked groggily.
"Your mom called. She said something about dinner, but I told her you were asleep so she said tomorrow then."
"Oh."
"But Rory and Hayd are hungry so we're going to Xander's. And since I saw William leave earlier and you're all tear stained, I'd say you need a breather."
"Thanks," Buffy said as she smiled at Rory and Hayden, "Come here my babies." They ran to her and Buffy hugged them like she'd never see them again.
"Bye Mommy."
"Later my sweets."
"Hey," Willow said a she ushered the twins out the door and looked at Buffy, "You and me, talk session later, got it?"
Buffy nodded as she watched Willow leave. Buffy got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face. "God I look like shit." She said as she looked in the mirror and grabbed some aspirin from her make up bag and downed it with water.
-Knock Knock-
"Coming." Buffy said as she heard a gently knock on the door. "Will." She said after she opened the door.
"Can I come in?"
"Sure." Buffy said as she moved out of the way. William walked in and took a seat in the chair from earlier. "So what are you doing here Will?"
William looked at her. "I'm sorry."
"You're sorry?"
"Yeah, I shouldn't have kissed you. It was stupid of me. Can we just pretend that it didn't happen?"
Buffy looked at Will and decided to ignore the whole 'I love you' thing. "What happened?" Buffy said with a smile.
Will laughed. "Buffy…your offer from earlier…Can I still meet them?"
Buffy sighed. "Yes Will, I leave on the 27th…come
over
the day after tomorrow and we'll be here."
Will nodded. "I should hate you, but for some reason I don't…in fact I almost understand."
"Will I'm sorry…I should have told you. But…you're welcome. You're always welcome."
Will smiled. "Thank you Buffy."
"Hey we're here." Willow said as she walked into Xander's.
"Hey Wills." Xander said as he walked over and kissed her cheek.
"Unca Xander!" Hayden and Rory yelled as they ran to their uncle.
"Well if it isn't my sweet niece and nephew." He said as he leaned down to hug them.
"Xander who's…Oh hey Willow." Anya said as she walked around the corner with Danny and Molly.
"Hey Anya, hey Hayden, Rory go play with Chris and Molly." Willow said as she ushered Xander and Anya to the kitchen.
"What's up Willow?" Anya asked in question to the girl's strange behavior.
"Guess who Buffy and I ran into?" Willow asked.
"I don't know…Barney?" Xander said.
Willow started laughing. "Shut up Xander." Then she related the story to them and the scene that was Buffy when she came back to the room.
"Wow." Anya said.
"I know. I guess he really did figure it out." Willow said.
"Where's Buffy now?" Xander asked.
"In our hotel room. She was a
wreck."
Xander grabbed the phone to dial the number when the
door bell rang.
"I'll get it." Anya said.
Xander hung up the phone and sat next to Willow. "He wouldn't take them away from her. Would he?"
Willow shook her head. "William did a shitty thing 4 years ago. But he wouldn't do that. He doesn't even know them." Xander nodded.
"Look whose here." Anya said as she escorted Buffy and William into the kitchen.
"Buffy I was going to call you. Are you okay?" Xander said as he pulled her into his arms. Buffy wrapped her arms around her brother. She was glad he was there. She was about to change her kids lives…she needed her brother more than ever.
"William, what are you doing here?" Willow asked.
Buffy pulled out of her brother's arms and looked at Willow. "He's here to meet his kids."
Do you hate me???? I hope not. Here's the next chapter for ya!
