Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy, but I do own Sophie, baby Lily, and Echo the puppy :)

Six weeks went by, and Willow and Tara's joy at the arrival of their new daughter was contagious, spreading through the entire household. Buffy had already declared herself baby Lily's favourite auntie, claiming that it was only fair seeing as Faith had already taken that role with Sophie. This made Dawn a little jealous, so she called dibs on favourite auntie status with the next Scooby baby.

As for Sophie, she was the proudest big sister anyone could imagine. She loved helping her mothers with the baby. Today she was helping Willow give Lily a bath, when suddenly, the baby smiled. Her first smile.

"Oh goddess! Tara! Tara, come here, quick!" Willow called.

"What is it?" cried Tara as she ran up the stairs and into the bathroom, panicking slightly. "Is something wrong?"

"Not at all" Willow grinned. Tara looked confused.

"Then why.."

"She's smiling, Mama Tara!" cried Sophie happily. "Lily's smiling!" Tara's eyes lit up.

"Let me see" she said, a lopsided smile of her own breaking out over her face. Willow lifted Lily out of the bath, wrapping her in a fluffy pink towel and handing her to her wife. "Oh, you do have a pretty smile don't you Lily?" said Tara, placing a soft kiss on the infant's forehead. "Why don't we go dry you off and get you dressed and show that pretty smile to your aunties?"

Late that night, when they got back from patrol, Buffy and Faith were kissing passionately as they came through the door.

"Okay, I admit it" said Buffy as they parted for air, "You may have a point with the hungry and horny thing."

"Finally" Faith grinned, pulling her girlfriend into another kiss as they climbed the stairs, entered their room and fell onto the bed.

"About time you two got back" said a voice, causing the slayers to jump, but they quickly relaxed when they spotted a familiar member of the powers that be leaning against their wardrobe.

"Damn, Queen C" said Faith, rolling of of Buffy, "Could you give us a little warnin' next time you just pop into our room like that?"

"I didn't just 'pop in', I've been waiting here for ages" Cordelia explained. "You were just a little too, uh, preoccupied to notice me when you first got here."

"Right, so, why are you here?" Buffy asked.

"Well, mainly its because Anya wanted to see the baby. And don't worry, Tara knows she's here, I asked Sophie to tell her. But I thought that while I was here I might as well remind you two that Faith's ten year slayversary is coming up in a couple of months, and the other powers have decided to give her the same gift they gave to you."

"You mean a wish?" asked Faith.

"No, a mansion made of pudding" said Cordelia sarcastically. "Of course its a wish!" She sighed and checked the time. "Well, I better go get Anya. We've already stayed longer than we were supposed to, and the powers didn't even want me to bring her. I don't want to risk pissing them off to much, makes for a kind of hostile work environment. See ya."

"Bye Cordy" Buffy called after her as she left the room, before rolling over to face Faith. "So Baby, what are you gonna wish for?" Faith thought for a moment.

"Well, that mansion made of puddin' sounded pretty good.."

AN: Anya's visit with Lily will be featured in the next chap, I just meant for this one to be more Fuffy centric.
