Hey everyone! I have not forgotten any of my stories, I just haven't been in the hang of writing but I'm slowly but surely getting back there. I hope this story still has your interest, have a good one!
Later that night, Faith finds herself sitting between Andrew and Amanda as the two go at it. To be honest, she couldn't tell you what they were on about just that they were passionate about it. Cordelia rolls her eyes as they continue to bicker.
"Faith, help me clean up?" she offers Faith and out and she gladly takes it. She can't stand to be there as the argument escalates. She idly wonders if she should try and save and Andrew but when he puts his hands on his hips and rolls his neck, she figures it'll be a fair fight.
"What the hell are they on about?" Faith asks softly once they're out of earshot. Cordelia rolls her eyes,
"Don't know. Don't find it very fascinating." she responds watching Faith who is watching Amanda. "You seem calm." she comments. Faith's lip turns to a half smile,
"I sorta am." she shrugs a little. Cordelia nods.
"Its nice to see." she says. Faith tilts her head at her but doesn't speak.

Angel makes his way back inside ready to continue on with his search to find this mysterious woman. Since he's just had a good patrol, something inside him is settled so he isn't too worried but he really just wants to know. Maybe he's being nosy but oh well, he's started so he can't very well stop now.
"Angel, a word?" Wesley says when he enters. Angel nods and moves over to him, wondering what was up.
"What's going on, Wes?" he asks. Wesley shakes his head,
"Nothing going on, actually. I just took notice to the fact that you are working on a new project it seems. Would you like some assistance?" he offers. Angel thinks it over.
"It could be helpful. What do you have?" he asks curiously. Wesley leads him over to the computer and logs into his old Counsel account. "Faith Lehane, born December Fourteen to Patrick Lehane and Annabelle Myers. Adopted at age four by her aunt and raised by her. Her aunt was an alcoholic and died when Faith was between ten and twelve." he says quickly. Angel blinks,
"Faith's adopted?" he asks. Wesley nods,
"It seems whomever you're searching for, I may have seen your computer, is her biological mother." he says. Angel lets out an unneeded breathe,
"Do we tell her?" he asks.

Faith watches amused as Amanda and Andrew belt out the lyrics to some song on the radio. They'd settled their little squabble and were best friends again, she didn't understand it but saw no need to question it.
"Those two are a hoot." she says taking a sip of her root beer and glancing at Cordelia.
"That they are." Cordelia comments. Faith glances at her again,
"You alright, Cor?" she asks. Cordelia shrugs,
"I think so. It's just...this is...better than I thought it'd be." she admits. Faith snorts,
"What, you thought I was some kind of ass that caused constant bickering?" she asks. When Cordelia doesn't answer, her smile drops. "You thought I was a complete jack-ass." she comments. Cordelia bites her lip,
"It's just...I realize I don't really know much about you so..yes. I assumed you were an ass." Faith nods slowly.
"You know what they say about assuming things." she comments then sighs. "Look, I'm not gonna give you this big speech about how I've changed and all that. We both know I'm workin' on it, but I will tell you I'm not a total bitch unless I go undefined amounts of time without sex." she says honestly. Cordelia blinks,
"I'll uh...keep that in mind?" she offers. Faith nods and stands,
"Alright, Squirt, time to get goin to bed. You've got early practice and me and Cor have filled our quota for puttin' up with each other." she says with a clap. Andrew leads them out with a pout but a promise to hang again soon, they all lived in the same building after all. Faith drops Cordelia off at her own apartment and leads Amanda into their shared one.
"You have fun tonight?" Amanda asks stopping outside her bedroom door. Faith nods, surprised she means it.
"I did. Who'da thought just hangin' was fun?" she asks. Amanda smiles sadly,
"Anyone whose had people to just hang with." she whispers leaving Faith alone with her thoughts. For the first time since she became a complete human, Faith sleeps through the night.
