Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy, or Faith or any other characters from BTVS. If I did I would be acting out stories not reading or writing them ;) .

Reviews very much welcome but please be gentle – it's my first time... lol.

Sorry for taking so long to update but, on the upside I'm uploading 3 chapters, and I don't know if this is good or bad but the story is finished finally.

Buffy woke up still laying in Faith's arms, she loved the feeling of safety and contentment she felt as she watched Faith's sleeping form. She smiled as she saw Faith stir from sleep.

"Mmm I could wake up like this every morning," Faith smiled "How long you been watching me B?"

"About five years give or take a vampire boyfriend, a coma, a prison sentence, and a whole load of Apocalypses!" giggled Buffy.

"Not quite what I meant, but good to hear." Faith chuckled back.

"About ten minutes, I woke up because the sun was shining in my eye, I was gonna shut the curtain but then I just laid watching you…" Buffy trailed off.

"Oh what time is it?" Faith questioned.

"About eightish?" Buffy stated waiting for Faith's reaction to the 'early' time.

"Eightish damn B, didn't know that the morning had one of those, go close the curtain and come back and snuggle with me for an hour" Faith requested.

"Well, if you're gonna suggest snuggleing I'm gonna have to say yes" Buffy smiled, "You do know when we open the school lessons are gonna be starting at nine right? You're gonna have to get up everyday at this time"

"Na, don't think so B, had a word with Gman, pointed out our long years of service and bargained that we mostly only have to work the afternoon, promised we'd help with Xander's Watcher training lesson's, ya' know the weapons stuff, and school maintenance stuff which basically means move furniture occasionally" Faith paused. "You don't mind do you? Just figured after eight years you might want to be actually able to get a decent amount of sleep, and seeing as there is like zero chance we could ever get an early night, coz that's the monster time of day, and well, I wanted to have time to spend time with you, and that was before we got together…"

"Oh god, I mean yet, not having to get up, thank you by the way, but ash, Giles doesn't know about us, I should probably tell him before someone else does, he's been like a Dad to me. In fact he might as well be, I don't even know where our dad is, the contact details were in Sunnydale and we really can't retrieve them" Buffy half giggled.

"Damn, that's a really hard place to find anything never mind some contact details, but I'm sure Willow could track him down if you asked her?" Faith said

"Hmm I hadn't thought of that, but to be honest my dad hasn't bothered with us for about five years, even when my mom died he didn't come to the funeral he was too busy... never mind his two daughters who had just lost their mom, he's barely even met Willow and he never met Tara apart from at my funeral, but he had no problem leaving his youngest daughter with them, when I died." Buffy started to rant.

"Ahh B you're better off without him, if he can't be there for you and Dawnie, he's not worth it." Faith sighed, "I never knew my dad, but if I were to choose one, don't tell him I said this, but I'd choose Giles to, even with everything I've done Giles has been more of a parental figure then my mom ever was."

"Faith I think he'd be very happy to here that, though it would be a little weird coz it would make us sisters" Buffy chuckled

"Now that is not an idea I like, coz I wouldn't be able to do this." Faith smiled leaning in and kissing Buffy.

"Now go close that curtain, so we can sleep woman!" Faith laughed pushing Buffy towards the edge of the bed.

Buffy got up and shut the curtain, got back in bed and wrapped herself in Faith's arms.

"Faith, Faaaiiith, wake up already!" giggled Buffy gently poking Faith in the ribs, having already taken the quilt off of Faith's sleeping body.

"God dammit B, what's the hurry are you worried there's no breakfast again, there's plenty of cereal you know!" Faith protested

"I know but it's two in the afternoon already, I'd quite like some Lunch!" Buffy laughed.

"Oh right, well in that case I best get dressed, I s'pose." Faith grumbled sitting up. "I see you already are, but are you sure you want to wear that today" Faiths eyes gleamed pulling Buffy towards her. "I could help you change out of that outfit if you like?"

"Nuh uh Faith, as much as I like that offer, if I get changed we both know we're never gonna even eat lunch, and I'm hungry." Buffy chuckled taking Faith's hand and pulling her off the bed, now scram, I'm gonna make my bed and I'll meet you downstairs" Buffy smiled pushing Faith towards the bathroom.

"Knock, Knock." Buffy smiled at Giles as she pretended to knock on Giles' open office door.

"Ah Buffy lovely to see you, to what do I owe this honour?" Giles questioned looking up from his desk.

"Was that British or sarcasm?" Buffy started to frown.

"It was most definitely British," Giles smiled at Buffy "You know it doesn't hurt to be a little old fashioned, I'm quite aware I'm not as youthful as I once was, do take a seat dear".

"Giles we both know you are the youngest of the young!" Buffy chuckled sitting opposite Giles.

"Am I the hippest of the hip though?" Giles laughed.

"Well no, but mostly coz you just used the word hip Giles!" Buffy giggled

"Oh is that no longer a 'cool' word among the youth of today, I do struggle to keep up" Giles smirked clearly enjoying pretending to be as much of a fuddy duddy as he could be.

"Okay, now I'm sure that was sarcasm." Buffy pretended to glare at Giles

"You know my dear, I do believe it may well have been," Giles laughed, "but truly it is nice to see you Buffy, but by the look on your face when you knocked I'm guessing you have something to ask me"

"Well not ask really, but I do need to talk to you about something," Buffy paused, "It's to do with me and Faith…"

"If it's to do with schedules Buffy, I'm afraid I haven't quite put the finishing touches on them yet, but I should have them done within a couple of days." Giles smiled.

"OH cool but no, it's not to do with the school, it's more a personal thing, then a school thing, and it's a thing I thought I should tell you before someone else does, It's a new thing, well kinda, but erm well... er, me and Faith are well dating." Buffy babbled.

"Oh well that's great news Buffy, I'm glad you two finally worked things out, I was wondering how long it would take you," Giles smiled fondly at Buffy

"Oh I didn't realise it was that obvious" Buffy said

"Really Buffy, I mean your 'slayer connection' with each other, honestly how could you two keep blaming your attraction on being slayers, do either of you two feel as connected to any of the other slayers?" Giles questioned

"Well when you put it like that…" Buffy trailed off.

"Honestly Buffy, and you guys think I'm out of touch." Giles said shaking his head.

"Any way, I'm glad your okay with it, your opinion is very important to me Giles" Buffy said "And to Faith to."

"Well yours and Faith's happiness is important to me Buffy, I hope you two are very happy together" Giles stood up from behind the desk and walked round to Buffy who also stood.

"Thanks," Buffy smiled as she hugged Giles, "well I better go, I've gotta meet the others for patrol soon."

"Right well have fun with that, I'll be battling with this paperwork while you have fun slaying" Giles chuckled.

"Have fun slaying? Wow your paperwork must be boring" Buffy laughed walking out the room.
