Special thanks to my Beta for making the chapter flow better than it would've done!
Two weeks after Buffy and Xander flew back to Sunnydale Willow and Chris were in the Supermarket shopping. He wandered over to the magazine rack and picked up a Puzzle book on Ancient Egypt. He sat down on the floor and started reading the puzzles and working them out in his head because he wasn't allowed to write in the books that he wasn't buying. When his mom called he put the magazine back and followed her to the car.
When they got out of the car fifteen minutes later a demon jumped them catching Willow off guard and knocking her to the ground. The demon flew back into a tree as if pushed by something invisible.
Willow looked at Chris as he surveyed the growling demon still hanging in mid-air, she conjured a fireball and took aim and threw it at the demon.
The demon's swearing filled the street she and Chris lived on, then he burned away into oblivion. As Chris's telekinetic concentration wore off, he looked triumphant and then concerned as his mother rubbed her bruised arm.
"Are you okay?" he asked looking at her with scared blue eyes as she scanned the street to see if anyone had seen anything.
Willow turned to her son and smiled at him, "I'm fine, sweetie."
Then she looked down at her shopping bags, a lot of the items had fallen out. She sighed and looked at Chris, then began picking up the fallen items.
"Wanna help mommy?"
Five minutes later Chris grabbed his book and sat at the table with his glasses on his nose. He ran a small, pale hand through his red hair, which fell down to his earlobes and covered his ears and he drew out some Egyptian symbols. Afterwards he read some Latin and translated the language it into English; he loved translating and already knew four languages, in addition to English. He knew Latin, Egyptian, French, Italian, and a little Spanish.
Sometimes he had to go to Daycare when his mommy went to work and couldn't look after him. He liked it there sometimes but at other times he hated it. Some of the kids picked on him and others left him alone because they thought he was odd, it was either his brains or his magic that did that.
There were two kids that had befriended him though, even if they couldn't understand what he was saying. Tyler and Hailey were his best friends. They had both came up to him and said hello and then after they saved him from a big bully they became best friends. He even got to have them over for lunch sometimes.
Tyler was really brave and nice and had really cool hair, it was jet black and it reached just above his shoulders. He was funny and loved playing jokes on people. Tyler often got into trouble for it but that never stopped him.
Hailey was like him and was more likely to understand him. She also liked to play jokes as well, but not as much as Tyler. She almost cried on his third day at Daycare when a bully had called her a dumb-blonde, but she wasn't dumb so it was pretty stupid of him to say that.
Hailey liked to listen to him talk about Egypt while Tyler usually said that his head was going to go pop that made him snicker sometimes.
"Honey, lunch is ready!" his mommy called from the kitchen. He sniffed and smelt something that might be Ravioli. He loved Ravioli.
He jumped up and ran to the table with his book, pencil and paper just as his mommy put the bowl of Ravioli in front of him.
"Mommy, where's Loki?" he asked as she sat down.
Loki was Chris's teddy bear that he'd gotten last Christmas.
He'd named it after a Norse god.
"He's on the sofa where you left it, sweetie," she replied.
When he finished his lunch he went to get the bear and hugged it. He flicked the television on and made it play Atlantis.
When Atlantis started, he stuck he thumb in his mouth and hugged Loki tighter.
Willow checked on her son a few minutes later and saw him watching his favorite video again. Smiling she went upstairs to have a bath.
Not for the first time she wondered what her son's father was doing, if he was alive, if he'd want the sudden change of having a woman and child. After she had her bath she got out her laptop and started searching for him again, maybe she'd get lucky this time, for some reason she felt like she needed him.
At the end of Willow and Chris's street an unmarked grey van pulled away from sidewalk and drove off.
Meanwhile in the Kinsey residence
Senator Kinsey was snoring in his armchair files on his lap. He woke with a start when his phone rang loudly.
He grumbled and picked up the phone, "Yes," he snapped rudely.
His expression changed from groggy and irritated to excitement and glee, "Well, that's certainly great news Agent Foley." The white-haired man smiled, for once very pleased. "Yes, have the tapes on my desk by tomorrow morning." He hung up and grinned wickedly, one of his Agents had finally found them.
Daniel's apartment
Daniel's Dream
Daniel looked around the strange room and jumping when he heard a voice and saw the blonde woman standing beside him.
He swallowed nervously and looked around, "What's going on?"
The blonde woman smiled at him her blue eyes twinkled but then looked serious and said in a soft but strangely loud voice, "You have to help them."
He looked confused, "Help who?"
"The two people who will become a large part of your life," she said cryptically.
Still confused, "W-what?" he stammered.
The woman grimaced and said, "Boy, I never in my life thought I could do cryptic."
"You have to help them, if they ever got their hands on him- on Wil- the woman, if she loses her child she'll-" the woman looked saddened. "She's already lost control once, you have to stop it from happening again."
The woman looked at him pleadingly.
"What?!"
But the room and the woman faded away slowly, "I don't understand!"
Daniel woke up and looked confused, "Wow- what a dream."
He wondered who the blonde woman was, "It was nothing…nobody, just a dream."
