The trip was something Angel wasn't imagining Lorne was singing to every song that pump in the radio, almost half an hour later so was everyone else, Gunn, Wesley and Cordelia were doing the chores of "So what" from Pink, while Connor simply enjoyed the song, an half an hour later Connor and Angel were singing along, the car an eco chorus of "We are the champions", the radio continue playing while they stop to grab a bite to eat on Bugger King and the conversation about the things they did on Sunnydale started, Cordy babbling about the giant snake, Angel talking about the Master, Wesley rambling about Faith and so on.

Meanwhile in Sunnydale

"Thanks Kate, I really appreciate what you did. Yes, she will be at my watch, don't worry." Buffy said, she knew how much her sister slayer had changed and honestly she needed a second chance, after all wasn't Spike living under her roof? Having Faith around would be piece of cake. She had left the house and was on the bus station waiting for her knowing her younger sister was troubling herself with doing the so famous called to the pizza guy, which she thought was so hot.

"B" Faith called happiness shown in her face, she truly was relieve to be back in Sunnyhell, even more to see her sister slayer.

"Hey Faithy!" Buffy said enveloping her in a tight hug. "So good to see ya' girl!" She said.

"Gotta tell ya' B, never been so happy to see ya too" They exchange a smile and jumped into the car turning the radio up they listened 'Just Dance' from Lady Gaga chatting a bit, after a fifteen minutes ride they were home, Dawn heard the door noise and run for it, crashing both slayers in a hug.

"Hiya Squirt! Missed you too!" Faith manage to say.

"Kinda of need to breathe here" Buffy complained.

"Come on, come on" The teen said excited pushing them by the hands. "I got movies.. go get yourselves a bath, no slaying today, you promised!" And she did the puppy eyes, Faith glared at Buffy and they shared a smile, in a run Faith pulled Buffy behind her screaming as a child would do "Me first!"

Buffy simply laugh, since she had came back she had never felt as lighthearted as she was now, like all the weight on hers shoulders had left. It was a good sign, something keeps telling her it was Angel and Connor or simply her two sisters but she liked it, the feeling of completion again.

A knock on the door startled her, she was about to answer it when dawn pass running at front of her and stopped.

"It's the pizza guy, how do I look?" She asked fussing a little. "Perfect Dawnie, you're perfect, go catch him!" Dawn smiled at her sister an opened the door, Buffy was already in the middle of the stairs, listening Faith singing something in the shower, she shook her head a bit an entered her room, looking for the shopping bag she had done for Faith when she, Connor, Dawn and Willow had gone to the shopping trip.

She disposal some clothes and underwear over the bed, paying attention into the conversation downstairs.

"Hey Shane, how are you?" Dawn said smiling.

"Hey beautiful, three pizzas for you and three bowls of ice cream, I bought yours and yours sisters favorite." She grabbed the pizzas from him and the ice cream thanking him.

Dawn closed the door sighing. There was another small bag with the ice cream that she opened to reveal a rose and a small note that said:

"Is not as beautiful as you, Dawn, but its close. I was wondering if you would like to go out with me some other day?

Xoxo, Shane"

Coming behind her Faith said:

"That's just so sweet! Didn't he leave a phone number?" The curiosity striking her.

"Hum... I do have his number… he gave me another day, saying it was for pizzas emergencies…" She said blushing.

"Oh… so freaking sweet of him and also very good looking D."

"Have you seen him?" Dawn asked surprised she was vouching for her.

"Yay, I did when I went to get my stuff on B's room, saw you two talking at the door, he seems lovely and a nice guy too." Dawn smiling finding comfort on Faith's words "I think B likes him too, so go give him a call, girl!"

"I think I'm going to talk with Buffy first, just so she can, you know, vouch for me too?" Dawn replied, bringing the flower closed to her nose and smelling it.

"I'll put in a vase.."

"Wow… You're growing up so fast little D..." Faith whispered watching the girl disappear into the kitchen again.

Faith heard a knock on the door and a chit chat coming from where Dawn had left, the British tone revealed to be Spike, she smile, as annoying as he is, she actually liked him; how crazy is that?

She opened the door to reveal a vampire, five humans and a green demon. She raised an eyebrow dumbfounded by the vision.

"Faith!" Cordelia exclaimed. "Faithy?" Dawn called.

"Faith!" And that voice she would recognize even in death, a mix of surprised, mooching and certainly anger. Oh boy.. she was in trouble.

"I'm killing you, what's with you and Dawn anyway? Damnit! My favorite shampoo, now I got smell like Spike! This is ridiculous! Why can't you use another?" She fumed. "No, of course not, let finish Buffy's stuff, thank you very much!" She complained.

"Well B, it's that you do smell better than me!" Buffy than put her head out and said:

"You have any idea how much does that sounds like a vampire thingy? Gosh, it's unhealthy! You people and smell… GROSS" She babbled again. "Plus, why not just buy the bloody thing?"

"It's fine pet, I don't mine you smell like me, it's quite sexy, actually" Spike laughed, eyeing his sire, the glimpse of Angel eyes caught him sending chills up and down his spine.

"Say that again and you'll be facing the sun, sooner than you like Spike!" Buffy yelled from her room.

Faith was still a bit surprised holding the door not sure what to say to the out comers, Spike or even Dawn. So she decided on the 'normal' approach.

"Hey people…" Come out more like a question than a greeting and she found herself wishing the floor would open in a half and swallow her.

"Hey Faith can we come in?" Asked Angel. "Yeah.. I guess…" She murmured.

"Faith! Serious what wrong with you and Dawn?" Buffy yelled again. "Are you using my white tee-shirt?"

"Well.. B is that…" Faith started saying "Fine, I'll get the pink one I bought you" She stated "THANK YOU!" Buffy showed up on the stairs passing her hand through her hair eyed her sister slayer.

"Your ass, you could have just said you hated the blouse." Buffy said in a mocking tone.

"I didn't hate it B… is just not my style. I can be a good girl now, but please I'm not you... the whole pastel colors, just don't fit me." Faith said with a smile.

"Whatever you say Faithy…" Buffy said in a singing voice. She followed to the kitchen finding her sister and Spike talking.

"I'm telling Nibbled he's not good enough for ya', how can you possible think that 'it's not as beautiful as you, but is close' CUTE?" He said slightly disgust.

"What is the commotion about?" Buffy asked.

"Her!" Spike pointed out at Dawn "Slayer, can you possible believe that.. that pizza feller invited Dawn to go out some other day?" He exclaimed extremely irritated, after all it was Dawnie, the little girl he saw as a sister, must to her own sister dismay.

"Serious? Oh Dawnie! That's so cool, let me that note…. Wow.. so adorable of him, hum? So are you going to call him?" Buffy asked excited, Spike snorted.

"No way! No sister of mine is going to date a pizza guy!" Connor said entering the kitchen.

"Má! Are you actually encouraging her?" Connor asked his arms crossed an eyebrow raised at his mother.

"Overprotective much?" Dawn said under her breath annoyed.

"Let your sister be, Connor" Angel said putting a hand over is sons shoulder. Being as childish as she could be dawn pulled her tongue out at him.

"Childish much?" Connor asked. Buffy rolled her eyes and looked at the two out comers.

"Hey you two…" Buffy said smiling at Connor and Angel. "Not that I'm not happy to see you both, but I supposed there's a reason all of you came, 'cause I can her Cordy's voice from here.

"Well Má, is a little bit complicated…" The boy started.

"More like very abnormal and most likely unbelievable." Angel continued.

"Who the hell died?" She questioned.

"Is more to: who the hell born?" Connor said.

"Hum?" Dawn, Buffy and Spike asked eyeing both of them.

"Is that.. well.. hum.. see.." Connor tried saying.

"Very articulated dear, now what is that you're trying to say?" Buffy asked carefully.

"Just that you're … my mom" He whispered.

"Yes, I think we established that for some months already, hum?" She answered playfully.

"No, Má, I mean my real mother." He says more confident now surprisingly Buffy says:

"Wow."
