CHAPTER 1
I just needed to get away. It's not really anybody's fault.
We just drifted apart. I think it might have started the day I became a slayer.
Before that I was just a potential who could fight, but still needed protected,
and
CHAPTER 2
AN: Buffy didn't dye her hair. She just went back to her
'natural' color. z
"Kennedy,"
Buffy said helping me up and giving me a hug. Okay, this is weird. The last
time I saw Buffy, she was blond and taking Dawn away so could graduate high
school. Now here she is standing in front of me as a brunette in a lesbian bar.
Wait a second, I grabbed her ass and granted got decked for it, but I think it
was because I surprised her. I must have been off in my own world because I see
her waving her hand in my face.
"Sweetie, are you still with me?" she asked touching my shoulder.
"Huh, what?" I babbled.
"As much as I'm enjoying this quality conversation, I have to get home to
"Huh," I spouted. Apparently, I can't say anything resembling
English.
"Okay, I have an idea. Why don't we go back to my place and catch up, and
I'll explain everything," she said taking my hand leading us outside.
On the way, we ended up doing a quick patrol of a cemetary. I don't know why I
should be shocked. She retired from the big stuff, not everyday slaying. We
ended up in front of this gorgeous brownstone. I guess she not totally out of
the loop seeing she is living in one of the Council's places.
As we're walking up the steps, I thinking this should be fun. I'm about to meet
Buffy's girlfriend on the same night that I run into to her.
"Mommy!" this little girl yells running full speed at Buffy. Oh boy,
this day has just gotten stranger. Well, she doesn't have a girlfriend, but
does have a very beautiful daughter.
"Sweetie, I want you to meet an old friend of mine.
I bent down offering her to shake my hand, but instead she wrapped her arms
around my neck hugging me. I looked up at Buffy smiling. I guess I must be
famous. She told me to make myself at home while she put
I guess this is the part where I snooped around to see if there are anymore
surprises coming. I notice four pictures on the fireplace mantle, so I guess
I'll start there. The first one was the original three. Beside that was one
with Buffy, her mom, and Dawn. I think I would have liked Joyce from what
everyone said about her, especially Faith. The next one was Faith and Dawn
playing with Tara which made me chuckle thinking about
"Yeah, that one makes me laugh too. I still can't believe my sister tamed
the wild beast," Buffy said.
"Wow, that's not exactly the response I was figuring on getting," I
said putting the picture back before turning around.
"I forgave Faith long ago, and as long as she makes Dawn happy and keeps
her safe. I'm not going to stand in the way of their happiness," Buffy
said as I noticed her eyes were a little glassy.
"Buffy, I know we never really got along, and I don't really want to pry,
who is she?" I asked picking up the last picture.
"Let me put on some coffee. This is going to be a long story," she
said as I followed her to the kitchen.
CHAPTER 3
Buffy poured us both a cup of coffee, but I noticed that she
was tensing up as we sat down.
"Buffy, we don't have to do this tonight. We can just catch up on other
stuff," I said giving her an out if she wanted it.
"No, I need to talk about it. If I have learned anything from my past,
it's that I hold stuff in way to long, and it normally ends up biting me in the
ass. Her name was Megan. I met her one night when I went out with Faith and
Dawn. I was at the bar getting drinks when I saw her. I felt an instant
connection with her. We fastly became inseparable. Of course, I told her what I
was before we got too serious and surprisingly she took it in stride. She said
it explained alot. Within six months, we had moved in together. We were
discussing starting a family after our first anniversary. Megan wasn't able to
have children, and I couldn't exactly patrol pregnant, so we decided to adopt.
Of course, we did our homework and found a reputable agency. We adopted
"Yes, that is what I was looking for, but ended up with a bloody nose from
a beautiful pain in the ass from my past. Thank you for telling me about her,
but I think I should get going," I said taking my cup to the sink.
"Kennedy, it's late. I know you are a slayer, but I would like you to
stay. As long as you don't get all grabby hands again. I'll allow you sleep in
my bed," Buffy said sitting her cup beside mine.
"From what Willow told me, I should worry about you. She tells me you're a
bed hog," I said pulling out my phone to tell my driver that he won't be
needed.
Buffy handed me her yummy sushi pajamas when I finally made it to her bedroom.
Of course with me being an exhibtionist, I changed in front of Buffy. By the
time I turned around, Buffy was faced the other direction. I climbed in bed and
fell asleep.
Well what do you know, Willow was right. I wake up to find Buffy right arm and
leg draped over me. I hear someone on the other side of the door before they
knock, but as I was about to allow them to enter Dawn and Faith walk in.
"Hi guys," I said as the look on their faces is priceless.
CHAPTER 4
"K," Faith starts to say, but is quickly
interupted by Dawn.
"What the hell are you doing with my sister in her bed?" Dawn asks
starting towards the bed before being stopped by Faith who says they meet me in
the living room so Buffy can sleep.
I lift Buffy off of me without waking her up. I head off to see if Tara is up
yet. I open her door and her little head pops up looking at me. She holds up
her arms wanting me to pick her up. I guess she sees me as somebody friendly
without really knowing me. I pick her up and take her to Buffy's room so she
can avoid the possible yelling that I'm about to get. I put her in Buffy's
arms, and she proceeds to fall back asleep.
"Okay, I'll ask you again. Why were you in my sister's bed?" Dawn
repeated as I sat across from them on the couch.
"I honestly don't think it is any of your business. If you want to know, I
suggest you ask Buffy when she gets up," I said partially to see if it
pisses Dawn off.
"Why you b..." Dawn started to say, but Faith interupts her this
time.
"K, Dawn is just being protective of her sister considering what has
happened. She just wants to make sure you're not screwing with Buffy,"
Faith says, but before I can reply. Buffy comes out with Tara in her hands.
"Dawn, I know you mean well, but I invited Kennedy to stay last night
after we met in the club last night. Kennedy, take Faith and make breakfast for
Tara please while I talk with Dawn," Buffy said handing me Tara. Faith
gave Dawn a kiss before following me into the kitchen.
Something tells me Faith is going to give me shit about being smart to Dawn
about why I was here. I keep Tara entertained while Faith fixes her breakfast.
I can't help but chuckle a little seeing big, bad Faith making breakfast for
two-year old.
"Okay K, this is me. What really went down last night?" Faith asked
as we both kept an eye Tara so she didn't make too much of a mess.
CHAPTER 5
After finishing explaining how I ran into Buffy last night,
Faith was rolling on the floor laughing, and Tara was giggling at the way Faith
was acting. I started laughing too after realizing that it was funny.
"What's going on in here?" Buffy asks as her and Dawn stare at Faith
still laughing on the floor.
"I told Faith about how we reconnected last night, and she reacted like
this," I said pointing to Faith laughing on the floor.
I left Buffy to take care of Faith while I took hold of Dawn's arm and pulled
her towards the living room. I sat down down beside her on the couch and told
her that Buffy told me about Megan last night. I told her I would never
intentionally hurt her. I also explained that my feelings for her sister were
new and was hoping to see where they went.
"Kennedy, Megan leaving absolutely crushed Buffy. She didn't do anything,
but take care of Emma. Faith and I tried forever to get her to go out with us,
but until recently she never wanted to. Tara seems to like you so as long as
you don't hurt Buffy, we won't have a problem," Dawn said giving me a hug.
I looked over her shoulder and saw Buffy and Faith with Tara smiling at us.
"Hey, since everybody seems to be friends. Why don't we all go get
lunch?" Buffy asked as Dawn and I broke apart.
I watched Dawn walk over to Faith and give her a tender kiss. I laugh when Tara
put her hands over her face. I realize that I miss having someone to spend time
with.
CHAPTER 6
"As much as I want to go to lunch with four beautiful
ladies, I don't think I will get any service in Buffy's yummy sushi pajamas. I
would need to stop at my place for a change of clothes," I said smiling
seeing that everyone else is dressed in regular clothes.
"But you look so cute," Faith said smirking, and if Tara wasn't in
the room I would have flipped her off.
I went into Buffy's bedroom to change back into my clothes. I had just kicked
off the pants when I felt a hand grab my butt. I turned around to find Buffy
behind me. She gave me a kiss on the lips before turning back around and
leaving the room. Hopefully, she still feels the same way when she finds out
about me. The only person that knew I was rich was Willow, and I only told her
because I loved her. She deserved to know the truth. I slip my boots back on as
I put the pajamas in the hamper.
Dawn rode up front with Faith while Buffy, Tara, and I were in the back. I was
giving Faith directions to my house when my hands started to shake from
nervousness. Buffy put her hand on top of mine easing it a little. When we
pulled up to the gate, I told Faith the code. I told her to park in front of
the door seeing that we would be leaving shortly.
"Holy crap," Faith said breaking the silence. Dawn's mouth was open,
but no sounds were coming out. I looked over to Buffy and Tara to see if she
was pissed. Tara's eyes were huge as she looked at the size of building. My
nervousness subsided a little when Buffy smiled at me. She handed Tara to Dawn
as she came around the car to take my hand. I led us in the house and told
Faith and Dawn to make themselves at home while I got changed. I led Buffy to
my bedroom and sat her down to explain.
"Buffy, the only person who knew about this was Willow. When I was growing
up, I didn't have many real friends, just people who wanted to be my friend
because I was rich. So, when I came to Sunnydale..." I said but didn't get
to finish because Buffy put a finger on my lips.
"Kennedy, I don't care how much money you have. I remember the annoying
pain in the ass potential that helped heal my best friend's heart. For that, I
am completely indebted. Besides Dawn and Tara, her and Xander are my
family," Buffy said as I started to cry.
She pulled me onto her lap and kissed me while she wiped away my tears. When I
finally got control of my emotions, Buffy got up and gave me another kiss
before whispering in my ear to hurry up and get dressed because she was really
hungry.
CHAPTER 7
After we both wiped each others tears. We made sure we
looked presentable. I heard laughter as Buffy and I were coming downstairs.
What I saw is probably the funniest thing I have ever seen. Dawn and Tara had
Faith pinned to the couch tickling her. We were standing in the doorway
watching them when I felt Buffy interlock her fingers with mine when Tara
caught sight that her mom was back.
"Mommy," she said running towards us. I let go of Buffy's hand so she
could pick her bundle of energy. She took hold of my hand again after situating
Tara in her other arm.
"Five bucks Faith, I told you they weren't making out," Dawn said
holding out her hand. I looked to see where Tara was staring before I gave them
both the finger. Dawn pointed at my hand to try and get me in trouble with
Buffy. She kissed my cheek and whispered a thank you for giving them what they
both deserved for teasing us.
Buffy handed me Tara as she went over to Faith and Dawn. I got a little
nervous, but Tara gave a kiss on my cheek to make me feel better. Buffy came
back over and told me that we were going to stay here for lunch. I told her we
can get the cook to get something together, but Buffy told me she was going to
cook, and after making sure she can cook now, I showed her the kitchen.
When I came back in the living room, Faith and Dawn were making out on the
couch. I told them if they wanted privacy, they could use one of the bedrooms
upstairs which caused them to stop and run up the stairs. I took Tara to the library
to grab a book for me to read to her. I sat her on my lap so she could look at
the pictures while I read to her. Halfway through she had fallen asleep, I
covered her with the blanket from the back of the couch.
I must have fallen asleep because Buffy woke me up with a kiss before asking
where Faith and Dawn ended up.
"Um, I told them if they wanted privacy to use one of the rooms
upstairs," I said nervously.
"Kennedy don't worry about it, I know my sister makes love with Faith, but
you get to tell them that lunch is ready. I really don't need to see my sister
naked," she said smiling picking up Tara off my chest.
After waking up the sleeping lovers, we all headed to the dining room to see
what Buffy prepared. I found out that Buffy went to culinary school while Dawn
finished high school. Buffy and I loaded the dishes in the dishwasher while
Faith and Dawn kept Tara occupied. After turning it on, I realize that Buffy
and Tara are probably going to leave. I really don't want them to, but I don't
want to scare Buffy off. She must sense my nervousness because she leads me
over to the kitchen island and sits me down one of the chairs.
CHAPTER 8
"Kennedy, if you want me to stay, just ask. Dawn hasn't
spent much time with Tara lately. I'm sure she would love to keep her for the
night," Buffy said looking directly into my eyes.
"I want to, but we just re-met two days ago. I thought it might be too
soon to ask you," I said nervously.
"Kennedy, if there is anything that I have learned is that you don't
ignore your feelings no matter how new they are. I'll be right back," she
said giving me a kiss.
This is completely unbelieveable, I have never felt this wat before, and I
don't understand why I didn't feel this way back in Sunnydale. Okay, I admit I
thought Buffy was a bitch, but I never had a twinge of a feeling for Buffy besides
the occasional contempt, must be Tara and the things she has brought out in
Buffy. Megan better hope I never meet her because I probably will use Willow's
shovel disclaimer.
"HEY!" Dawn yelled, "sorry Kennedy, but you seemed to be
somewhere else. Faith and I are taking Tara in case you wanted to say
goodbye."
We head for the living room hearing Tara's infectous laughter. We come to find
that Buffy and Faith are playing peek-a-boo with her. She sees us come in the
room climbs off the couch and runs towards us. She yelled something that
sounded like my name as I bent down to give her a hug. She told me to take care
of her mom. I gave her a kiss on the forehead telling her that we would take
care of each other.
--
We ended up walking to this little italian bistro that Buffy had found when she
first came here. During dinner, I gave her the rundown on what I had been up to
since Sunnydale. She reached over the table to hold my hand when I told her
about the breakup with Willow. I know she probably has talked to Willow and
knows we were both going in two different directions. After dinner, we held
hands while we patrolled.
I can't believe I tripped over a headstone. I have never had an accident in a
cemetary even when I was a potential, and Buffy is playing mom as she is
cleaning my scraped knee. I was fine until she blew on the wound which went
straight to my core. She then kissed the bandage after finishing. She ended up
carrying me upstairs to my room. I'm at a loss in this budding relationship. I
don't know what to do half the time. I'm usually the one taking care of my
girl. She throws pajamas my direction as she heads for the bathroom to change.
I can't wait to see how we wake up in the morning.
CHAPTER 9
I wake up vibrating. I open my eyes and look at Buffy who is
laughing, I guess at me.
"What's so funny?" I asked trying to fully wake up.
"Don't move from where you're at, but make a gripping motion with your
right hand," Buffy said as I followed her directions. I grabbed whatever
was in my hand and put it off as fast as I could. Holy crap, I was squeezing
Buffy's breast and now she is laughing at me.
"Kennedy, it's okay. I wouldn't have told you to do it, if was
uncomfortable with it. Come get up, I'm hungry," Buffy said still laughing
heading towards the door. I just sat up in bed trying to figure things out.
This whole thing is completely new to me. With
I stand in the doorway watching her as she moves through the kitchen. I think
she senses me because she starts smiling continuing with what she is doing. She
points to the table where she has set it and poured us juice. As I sat down,
she placed an omelet on my plate and giving me a kiss before heading back to
the stove. She did the same with hers before sitting down with me. She told me
that Faith and Dawn were keeping
We headed for the living room after taking care of the dishes. She knows I want
to ask something because she has the same look as last night, but before I get
a chance to ask she straddles my lap and starts to unbutton my pajama top. She
stops before opening it up to see if this is what I want. All I can do is nod
as she starts kissing me while caressing my breasts with her hands. Finally
getting my bearings, I flip her over. I throw my top across the room as I
unbutton her top while kissing her. I feel her hands slip into my bottoms and
grab my butt. I pull up realizing that I'm not comfortable going this fast. I
don't mind the heavy kissing and some hand exploration, but as much as I want
to make love to Buffy. I don't want to this soon. I've done this before, but
never with someone I like as much as Buffy.
"Kennedy, what's wrong?" Buffy asks interupting my internal argument.
"Buffy, it's too fast. I've done this before, and I care about you and
Tara too much to rush into this. I don't mind the kissing and groping, but I
want to wait until I feel ready to make love to you," I said.
"Kennedy, baby, that is fine. I'm okay with going sorta slow," Buffy
said smiling giving me a kiss. I wrapped her up in a tight hug as the doorbell
rang.
I had to hurry up and find my top before the butler let whoever in. I don't
exactly need company to see me topless. Buffy straightens out her hair after
re-buttoning as we walk to the foyer to see who is here. We came in kissing as
we heard his unmistakable voice.
"Buffy," Giles said surprising us.
"Hi Giles, what's going on?" Buffy asked like there is a big pink
elephant in the room.
"Why don't we go in here so we can talk," I said leading back to the
living room.
Giles sits down while he is cleaning his glasses while Buffy is on the verge of
laughter while I'm nervous as hell. I know that Giles isn't Buffy's real
father, but is more than her actual father. Buffy grabs my hand and kisses the
back of it to try and calm me down.
"Where's
"She is with Dawn and Faith. They thought we could use some time alone,
right baby," Buffy said sitting on my lap.
After Buffy's little annoucement, none of were talking. We just sat there.
Everytime I wanted to sat something, I just chickened out. Buffy wasn't making
things easier by running her fingers across my pajama covered breast.
"Okay, I'm just going to say it. Giles, Kennedy and I are dating.
"Well,"
CHAPTER 10
Giles explains that he came to see how I was doing. He
admits to being a little worried about me before I decided to take my vacation.
He said he called my parents and found out where I was abd explained that he
was in town for Council business. He told Buffy and I that he was glad we both
found happiness. I told Buffy to keep Giles company while I went to get
changed. I ran upstairs just to catch my breath. I'm glad Giles is happy for
us, but I worry about
I heard more voices as I came down the steps. I walked into the living room and
found out that Faith and Dawn had brought
Faith takes Giles to the kitchen leaving me with Dawn and Tara. Dawn tells me
that her and Faith are going with Giles to
"I said I would like to go, but only if you want to. I know
"I'm up for a road trip," I said going over to Buffy to give her a
kiss. I see Faith come back into the room with Giles.
"Hey K, maybe you and B can become members of the Mile High club,"
Faith said smiling.
"Faith!"
CHAPTER 11
Well, here we are about to land in jolly old
We pull up to the manor, and Buffy whispers in my ear that she can flash
Vi,

After relaxing under one of the trees, Buffy suggested that we go inside and
see if
Faith came in at the end of the conversation and ask who would have a problem
with what, and without batting an eye
I found Giles and asked if my room was still my room, and he informed that he
moved me to a bigger one to accomodate my new additions. I gave him a one armed
hug before he took me upstairs to show me out new room. I walked inside and
found that he gave me one the rooms with an extra bedroom. He thanked me again
for making Buffy happy before heading back downstairs. I showed
I wake up to Buffy giving me a kiss telling me that she wants to take me out to
dinner just the two of us. She also informed that Giles had something he wanted
to ask me, but Buffy wouldn't give me a hint what he wanted. She kissed me
again before taking
CHAPTER 12
I told Giles we could talk after my dinner with Buffy. He
said it wasn't a rush so it was fine.
We ended up at this quiet little Italian place that I didn't know about. This
has
I can't believe that
When we got back, Faith and Dawn were waiting for us trying to pull the
concerned parents. Buffy and I just laughed it off as we headed to Giles'
office. Buffy knocked on his door as we headed inside. Giles offers us something
to drink, but we both decline.
He started by thanking me for making Buffy happy. I countered with the feelings
being mutual. He said since watchers were hard to come by that Buffy had
offered to be my watcher and wanted to know if that was okay with me. I opened
my mouth to talk, but I couldn't seem to find the words. I saw that Buffy
motioned for Giles to see if she could do anything.
Buffy got up and kneeled in front of my chair. She told me that she made the
offer because she didn't want to share her with anyone plus it meant that we
could live together. I couldn't find the words to explain what I wanted to say
so I picked her up and placed her on my lap. I gave her a kiss and whispered
that I would be honored to have her be my watcher. She took my hand and led me
out the door. We passed Giles on the way upstairs, and Buffy nodded that I
accepted the proposal. When we made it to the room, we heard giggling coming
from
"So K, do we both have Summers' women watchers?"
CHAPTER 13
I can't believe how much my life has changed in six months.
I go from feeling lost to finding the love of my life who just so happens to be
the best friend of my most sucessful relationship. I still get teased by
everyone about how Buffy and I met up again.
The other surprise is that I am sort of a mom to Buffy's beautiful daughter
Tara. I still can't believe that Megan left Buffy with her because she couldn't
handle the new responsibility, what I wouldn't give to meet her just once. I
even took them to meet my family. My parents absolutely fell in love with
I have heard rumblings that Dawn wants one of her own, but Faith isn't ready
yet. Dawn understands, considering what happened with Buffy, doesn't push too
much. As much as I don't want to admit it, but I would love to give
--------
Buffy called this morning and told me that she had a meeting this morning
and wondered if I could take Tara to the park, and she would meet us there. I
took her to the one I remember playing at when I was a kid. She wanted to swing
by herself, so I stood nearby to make sure she didn't fall. She is starting to
pick up Buffy's 'I can do it myself' attitude which as a kid isn't a bad thing,
but I have a feeling her teenage years are going to be a treat. After swinging,
she wanted to go on the slide. I made sure she got up the ladder okay before I
wanted at the bottom to catch her.
I don't know how long we were playing, and all of a sudden
"Hey baby, glad you could make it," I said planting a loving kiss on
her lips as I turned to face the woman.
"Sweetie, I want you to meet Megan," Buffy introduced as all I saw
was red.
CHAPTER 14
"Sweetie, why don't you take your mom to the
merry-go-round," I said giving Buffy a wink to tell her I wasn't going to
do something stupid. As soon as they were out of voice range, I turned to stand
face-to-face with Megan.
"You know six months ago, I probably would have punched you out for what
you did to Buffy, but thankfully, she has family and friends that were able to
step up and pick up the pieces. I'm also glad
"What's so funny?" Buffy asked probably thinking I have lost my mind.
"I just realized that the Summers' women tamed the wild slayers," I
said leaning over to kiss her.
"Not tamed, just reined in alot," she said making us both laugh.
EPILOGUE
~year and half later~
Faith and I are shopping for our girls which is kind of a twist if you knew the
Summers' women. We got stuck doing it because they both have been ridden for
the last two weeks. There is a running poll on the Watchers' website which one
gives birth first. Not to play favorites, but my money is on Buffy, she has
never been known for wanting to finish second especially to her little sister.
We were about to go into the Harley store to find some leather baby clothes
when we both get beeped. Faith and I both haul ass out of the mall and head
towards the hospital. We both know if we're late, it means big trouble for both
of us.
Faith parks the truck as I whip the door open and head for the hospital doors
where we are greeted by Xander, Giles, and Vi. I think there is something
between Vi and Xander, but neither are saying anything. Giles tells us that
-------
I can't believe it. It must be a Summers' gene. They both had girls. Buffy and
I named ours Cynthia Joyce Torres-Summers, and Dawn and Faith named theirs
Alison Tara. When my parents came in with
