"So Jen what was your mom like growing up", Buffy asked Jen as they 
sat watching TV.
"She was really cool. She was always there for me. It was hard for a 
while when she was in school. I know now how hard it must have been 
trying to raise a kid and take classes, plus do homework and deal 
with the council. We had Gail which helped but she was in school too 
so we juggled a lot of stuff sometimes. I think I was a lucky kid; 
she has supported everything I have wanted to do. Why?"
"No reason just wondering. She has done taken care of us all lately, 
I just figured she must have the done the same with you", Buffy said 
and shrugged her shoulders.
"It's 10:00 I think it might be a good idea for you guys to hit the 
hay, don't you think", Willow told the teens.
"Yeah, I am kinda tired", Dawn said.
"Me too, if you see mom tell her I love her".
"Yup sure will, night girls", Buffy said.
"Night", Willow told them trying to smother a yawn.
"You tired, baby"
"I guess a little. It has been quite a day."
"Yes it has, do you want to go to bed. I'm sure Sara would wait till 
tomorrow to talk", Buffy told her, she didn't want Willow to over due 
it.
"No it's ok why don't you go make some popcorn and we can curl up on 
the couch and watch a movie".
"Sounds like a plan but no poetry tonight", Buffy laughed.
"Haha, smartass"




Sara and Giles sat in the office of the club. Sara procured a bottle 
of scotch for Giles and a bottle of tequila for her.
"So Sara what are your intentions with my daughters", Giles asked his 
old friend. Sara laughed and poured a drink, "Never thought I'd here 
you say that".
"I didn't expect to have to ask it either", Giles replied.
" I don't know Rupert before I came back here I thought that my life 
was pretty complete. Now going back scares the hell out of me. Giles 
I can't lose either of them. I know that they loved each other and 
have for a long time. They were just too afraid to tell each other. I 
don't want to be the thing that comes between them", Sara said taking 
a shot.
"Sara, if I remember what you said about the spell it only works on 
true love correct. Do you love them?"
"Yes I do. I can't explain it. I know I am hurting Willow by not 
talking to her about this but I don't know where to begin."
"What about the babies", Rupert asked, " Do you want them".
"I have always wanted more kids. Raising Jen has been my biggest 
accomplishment. I never thought that I would get the chance again, 
much less twice", Sara told him taking a drink.
"Have you told them this", Giles asked finishing the drink in his 
glass?
"No, I should've but I was to scared that they would say that they 
didn't want them. I didn't want to get to attached to the babies 
until I knew if there were going to have them" Sara poured two more 
drinks.
"I don't think not wanting the babies was an option for either of 
them", Giles said emptying his glass, " very good scotch, I might 
add."
"Another"?
"Of course we are celebrating, yes"? Sara poured two more drinks and 
raised her glass, "Lets see to the babies". Giles and Sara downed 
their drinks and Sara poured another.
"To Buffy and Willow", Giles said.
"What do you think the council will say, Giles?"
"I don't know. I know they will not be happy", Giles told her and 
empted his drink.
"I am going to take over the slaying tomorrow. I took out three last 
night. I still have it"
" I have no doubts you do but?
"No buts she is in no shape to slay and I don't want anything to 
happen".
"I understand, another drink"
"Ok, to grandpa Giles", Sara laughed.
"I rather like it thank you very much. Makes me distinguished." Giles 
giggled and poured another. 
"Seems like old times, gramps."
"Shut up and keep pouring"



Buffy woke with a start and noticed that she had fallen asleep. She 
looked at the clock and saw that it was after one. Willow was lying 
at the other end of the couch asleep. Buffy got up trying not to 
disturb Willow and went to check and see if Sara was home. She walked 
into her room and saw the bed still made. She checked Giles room and 
noticed it was the same way. She knocked on Gail door to see if he 
was in there, after getting no answer she decided it was time to wake 
Willow.
"Hey Will, wake up"
"Huh what."
"It's after one and Sara and Giles aren't home,"
"Did you check their rooms?"
"Yeah neither bed has been touched."
"Why don't we go to the kitchen and I will make some coffee. You can 
call Gail and see if they are still there". Buffy called Gail while 
Willow made coffee.
"Well Gail said she just put them in a cab a couple minutes ago. She 
didn't even know they were there until they came out of the office", 
Buffy told her.
"A cab, why?"
"It would seem that they were quite drunk".
"Drunk?"
"Yup she said that they must have been at it for hours. Gail found 
two empty bottles of scotch and two empty tequila bottles." Just then 
they heard the front door slam and a thump.
"SHHH, are trying to wake the died, gramps. I am in no shape to fight 
the died tonight. Only in Sunnydale can you say that and mean it.  
Damn we do not want to wake Willow and Buffy. They will kill us". 
Sara and Giles stumbled down the hallway to the kitchen. Giles came 
to a dead stop as he entered the kitchen and met the gaze of a very 
pissed off slayer and witch.
Sara ran into him after his abrupt stop, "Damnit Giles do we have to 
put stop lights on your ass."
"Uh Lucy, I think we got some splaining to do" Giles giggled at his 
own joke.
"Good one Giles", Sara said almost falling down from laughing. Sara 
saw the way the other girls were glaring and straightened up, "Oh boy"
"Would you both like to explain yourselves", Buffy asked her lover 
and Watcher.
"He made me do it. I told him I should stop but he kept pouring and I 
couldn't let good tequila go to waste that would be alcohol abuse", 
Sara giggled.
"I thought you were coming home to talk", Willow yelled at Sara.
"Did you moon anyone on the way home, Giles", Buffy asked in anger.
"How about you Sara, sleep with anyone's wife while he mooned the 
crowd", Willow yelled.
"Willow", Buffy said softly.
"I will be outside when you calm down and want to talk", Sara told 
them and slammed out the back door.
"Buffy, Willow if I may. I talked a great deal with Sara tonight. She 
is very afraid of losing you both. I don't claim to understand things 
but I know she loves both of you very much. She doesn't want to be 
the third wheel or to feel like she coming between you too".
"Why hasn't she told us this", Buffy asked calmer. 
"Did either of you tell her you wanted these babies and want her to 
be a part of this", Giles said.
"Not until we told you".
"Oh god, did you hear what I just said to her", Willow cried. 
"Go to her, tell her how you feel but be honest with her and 
yourselves. She loves you and I happen to think that she is a very 
special lady. You would both be lucky to have her. Good night ladies".
"Good night, Giles and thank you".
"That's gramps to you now", Giles giggled and left.
"Did he just tell us to call him gramps and giggle", Willow asked.
"Yup, will wonders never cease? Come on we have someone to talk to".
"If she still wants after the way I talk to her", Willow sighed.
