"You have no idea how much I needed this" Buffy sighed as she sipped 
her Mocha.

"I'm addicted too" Shea held out her hand. It shook slightly until 
she took a sip "Was going into withdrawl"

The slayer chuckled and sipped her own "So Busters a witch? A wiccan 
witch named Buster"

"Sarah. Her name is Sarah Brown" Shea smiled "She looks like the 
promo boy off Buster Brown's and she a Brown anyway"

"Kinda stuck" Buffy nodded "Understandable. And cute"

"Yeah. Are you a witch too?" Shea asked swirling her drink.

"Oh no. I've done a few spells, but nothing serious like Willow" 
Buffy shook her head. She felt a sudden calmness take over her.

"You okay?" Shea asked waving her hand in front of Buffy's face.

"Yeah I'm fine" her slayer senses began to kick in. She could feel 
magick. Old magick. But she coudln't pinpoint it. It wasn't evil and 
it was far from dangerous. It was also definitely natural "Are you a 
witch?"

"More psychic than anything. Grounding Buster just helps along with 
her. Good for the both of us" Shea shrugged not meeting Buffy's 
eyes "I'm really good at sensing things. You know like when 
someone's hurting, lying, sometimes even when they're pregnant"

Buffy paused "That's why you ordered mine with no caffeine"

"Yep. That baby doesn't need it" Shea said her expression one of 
calm interest "Does Willow know?"

"No, and officially neither do you" Buffy said quickly.

Shea got the message and quickly changed the subject "So who's sick?"

"Wha-" Buffy was thrown for a moment.

"Your worried about someone. Who's sick" Shea said again.

"My mom. She's got a tumor. I think she'd hiding how sick she really 
is from me. But I don't wanna pry" Buffy took a slower sip of her 
Mocha.

"You have the strangest mood swings" Shea shook her head "How far 
along are you?"

"I don't know. I just found out this morning" Buffy rubbed her 
belly "I'm still grasping the "oh my god this is real" thing right 
now"

"Want me to find out? Do you know who the father is?" Shea said 
quickly hoping she wouldn't change the subject. She could 'feel' 
something here. Something wasn't normal with this girl.

"You can do that?" Buffy asked ignoring the father question. It 
could only be one person.

"Yes I can, all I need is a belly rub off you and we're set" Shea 
chuckled.

Buffy bounced over to Shea's side of the table and lifted her 
shirt "Rub away lady"

Shea took a deep breath and ran her hand over Buffy's belly. There 
was a strong thorbbing heard, and she had to concentrate on the 
baby. It was far more difficult then all the other times she'd done 
it. There 'was' something different about this girl.

"Having trouble?" Buffy asked when nearly a minute had passed.

"I got lost in the heartbeat. Eight weeks" Shea smiled.

"Can you tell the gender?" Buffy asked excitedly. This all felt like 
a dream.

"Not this soon. Maybe some other time" Shea pulled Buffy's shirt 
back down and nudged her back towards her chair "So I take it your 
gonna keep this baby?"

"Definitely. I know I still feel like I'm floating. But this isn't 
something I'd ever consider throwing away" Buffy said 
seriously "It's like I can 'feel' this great importance. It's not 
just a weird turn my life took that I can backtrack and choose 
diferently"

"Your alot more mature than you look" Shea joked.

"Thanks" Buffy thought a moment "I think"

"It's been six spells Willow. I'm tired, and your drained. No more" 
Buster pleaded using her patented puppy face to it's greatest extent.

"Okay" Willow pouted a bit, but faltered under the cuteness of the 
face "Works on Shea all the time doesn't it"

"Everytime" Buster grinned "So what's up with you and Buffy?"

"She's just a friend" Willow frowned "Why do you ask?"

"You know that when you cast with someone, you share more than just 
magic with them" Buster pointed out.

"I don't know anything new about you" Willow scooted closer "What 
did you pick up about me and Buffy?"

"Your in love with her. But there's a guy your with. You love him 
too" Buster shrugged.

"Oh" Willow's face fell "But how do I find out things about you?"

"Think about it" Buster smiled.

"That simple?" Willow smiled back.

"Yep" Buster leaned back placing her hands behind her head.

"Oh my god. She kissed you 'there' on the first date!?!" Willow 
gasped and blushed.

"Okay. You looked a little 'too' deep" Buster blushed along with her.

"Sorry" Willow looked anywhere but at her eyes "I'd better go. I 
wanna be in before dark. So I don't get pulled into any parties" she 
smiled.

"Yeah. You want me to walk you to your dorm?" Buster asked politely. 
She wasn't sure if she wanted Willow walking around that close to 
dark.

"I don't live on campus" Willow gathered her things.

"Oh you live with Buffy and her Mom" Buster nodded "Just realized 
that"

"Okay this is kinda freaky. I know all this stuff about you" Willow 
scrunched her nose "And you know stuff about me"

"You'll eitehr get used to it or it'll go away" Buster assured 
her "Your gonna meet Buffy and drive home?"

"Yep, not stopping for anything or no one" Willow smiled and waved 
as she left the double dorm room "I'll see you tomorrow Buster?"

"Yeah" Buster waved until the door closed. She couldn't shake the 
feeling that Willow was hiding soemthing from her.

Shea got out of the car when she saw Willow approach.

"It was fun. The mocha's and all. Do it again maybe? she smiled at 
the little blodne behind the wheel.

"Yeah" Buffy's smiled was sincere but slightly worried.

"I won't breathe a word I promise" Shea crossed her heart.

Buffy's smile got a little bigger.

"Hey Buff ready to go?" Willow came up to the driver door "scooch 
I'm driving"

"Aww Willow" Buffy said good-naturedly.

"I've seen you drive Summers, let her behind the wheel" Shea teased.

"Your supposed to take my side" Buffy complained grinning at them 
both.

"I'm on the side of pedestrians everywhere" Shea countered "Let her 
drive"

"Spoil sport" Buffy moved to the passenger seat, letting Willow take 
the wheel.

Shea waved a final goodbye and waved as she made her way down the 
foot path.

The security lights were beggining to come on.

"Ready to slay?" Willow asked as she pulled away from teh curb.

"As always" Buffy said.

They were almost off campus when Buffy sensed something.

"Vampires, heading that way" she thumbed in the direction they'd 
come from.

"Shea can't be at her dorm yet. It's kinda far" Willow said meeting 
Buffy's worried gaze.

"That's what I was worried about" Buffy was out of the car in 
seconds.

She was dashing so fast she seemed to be a small blur in the scenery 
before disappearing from Willow's view.

Buffy came upon the vamps as they'd cornered a blonde girl.

She was thankful it wasn't Shea, but shook it off. The girl needed 
help.

There were several surrounding the girl, and more that Buffy could 
sense but couldn't see.

She leapt on the nearest one, scattering a few further from their 
intended victim.

"Awe how many vamps does it take to catch one littel blonde?" she 
asked in a baby voice.

"Slayer" a paticularly 'bright' vamp hissed.

"Wow you have a 'way' with words don't you?" Buffy quipped as she 
flipped the vamp who's back she was on.

He flailing feet caught one of his comrades dropping them both.

Two down, five to go.

A girl in game face with a pipe came at her from behind.

Without turning Buffy ducked and the pipe took out the vamp 
advancing at her side.

She back kicked sending the female into a broken branch.

"Fuck" she said turning to dust.

Three attacked her at once, as more came out of the shadows.

Buffy was inundated with vamps when suddenly her burdened lightened.

She choked as a bit of dust got in her mouth but she quickly dealt 
with the remaining three that were more fighting over who got to 
twist her neck off than fighting her.

She tossed her stake and it barreled through the first embedding 
itself in the other. She caught the stake before it hit the ground 
and jammed it into the heart of the surprised vamp that stared at 
her.

"How'd you throw it that hard?" it asked before turning to dust.

Buffy looked around to see what happened to the other vamps that had 
jumped her.

There was nothing but piles of dust blowing away in the night breeze.

"I wish I knew" she muttered and made her way back to the car.
_____________________

Shea watched from a nearby tree as Buffy left the vamp dust to 
dissipate in the wind.

"She's the frickin' slayer"

Shea smacked her forehead.

"A fire witch, and the chosen. I should have known. That damn 
prophecy"

She quickly leapt to another tree making her way home. Talking to 
herself.

"Why did they have to give that thing to me?"

"Why couldn't they just curse me like they did Elvis?"

"But no. I get the Prophecy Girl"

Shea leapt from the last oak and directly into the window of the 
room she shared with Buster.

"Vamps" Buster didn't look up from her magick text.

"I found out who the slayer was" Shea calmly sat on their bed.

Buster looked up slowly "Does the Prophecy begin?"

"Yes" Shea sighed and shrugged her shoulders "This is gonna suck"

"Why do you say that?" Buster climbed into the smaller girls lap, 
laying her head on her shoulder.

"Buffy's the slayer" Shea closed her eyes while the fact impacted 
Buster.

"She's pregnant already?" Buster asked slowly hoping the answer 
was 'no'.

"Yes. To early to tell the gender" Shea lay back taking the brunette 
with her.

"The witch is torn between to loves. If she picks the wrong one.." 
Buster whispered into Shea's neck.

"I know baby. It's the end of the world"
