Happy To Die For You: The Immortal

'So this is my mother?' Kristin was finding it hard t breathe all of a sudden. It felt as if her lungs were dipped in gas then set on fire from the inside. Jessie must have noticed,she placed her arms around her waist standing her up.

"Calm down babe." she whispered soothingly in her ear.

She wanted to,but she couldn't,not with those eyes locked on her and tearing straight into her very soul. Never in her wildest
dreams (and pretty wild dreams at that) had she ever pictured Sammy showing up. She was supossed to be dead wasn't she?

"Sammy?" Faith tried tentively,afraid that she might leap up and run because that's what it looked like she was planning,to haul
ass in the next five seconds. Reaching out,she intwined their fingers together. It was all there,everything she had cried for at
nights for the past five years,it was all there. And yet...it wasn't. "Sammy..." she tried again,this time scooting next to her until her side brushed her knee.

"Faith,becareful." Buffy was circling them nervously. Faith was obsessed with Sammy,and the thought that she was back was blinding her. But not her,she could sense something was different about her. This wasn't the same happy go lucky girl they had last seen,this wasn't the same girl that had died for them,this wasn't Sammy. Not all of her,there was something else there.
"Kristin can you,move away?" Buffy shot Jessie a look that demanded.

"Babe come on,lets sit down for a sec." Jessie pulled her by the shoulders,but not so much as a hair on her head fluttered.

Once again Kristin threw herself on her knees before Sammy,her brows furrowed and tightly knidded,her eyes observing. "You're...
you're Sammy?"

Sammy nodded,her hair cascading back into place. "yeah..." she choked out as if it killed her to simply talk. Even though her eyes were covered she could still feel them on her.

"You're...my mom?..." Kristin couldn't keep her voice from cracking,this was just all so overwhelming,but in a good way.

Sammy sighed heavily,her tension going away somewhat but still behaving like a cornered animal. "I..."she cleared her throat,
unconsciously squeezing Faith's hand which brought a small grin to her lips,just like old times. "I don't think that,that I really deserve to be called that."

"Well bloody hell must have frozen over,it is her." Spike smirked,popping a cig into his mouth.

"Sammy!" Faith half sobbed,half screamed her name,throwing her arms around her neck and burying her face into her shoulders. For
the first time in the five years she had been crying over her,her tears weren't in vain and they weren't laced with pain and regret. They were tears of undeniable joy,she was so happy right now she couldn't even begin to describe it. "I fucking missed you so damn much! You have no fucking idea!" she sobbed.

All throughout the crying Sammy remained silent and looked somewhat confused and hurt. She couldn't figure out why Buffy was
looking at her like she had just shot her kitten or something. Finally Faith stopped crying so loud. Leaning up from the wall,
she wrapped her arms around Faith's shoulders ever so gently,laying her head in the crook of her neck. "I missed you too Faith."
she whispered only loud enough for her to hear. "I missed you so much,but hey," she pulled her away to arms' length to look her
in the eyes,she let a lazy lopsided grin come about,"I told you it was worth it didn't I?"

"Heh!" Faith snorted,shaking her head,"for you maybe."

"Yeah," Sammy nodded,"for me." She smiled. The first smile since she had been brought back in a year. It felt too good to have Faith back in her arms. She was stupid for ever thinking Faith wouldn't want her back. Just hearing the way she said her name
she could tell. But...Why did she feel so numb right now? Why did she feel like she was lying to her one and only love?

Planting a small kiss on her cheek,she used her hands to crawl up the wall into a standing position,lifting Faith into her arms
bridal style and kissing her cheek lightly. Reaching out with her other hand she offered it to Kristin. She seemed unsure,but
Faith gave her a smile and a small nod and that was all she needed. She took her hand and Sammy yanked her up into a tight
embrace.

Maybe she wasn't so numb,because she definately felt so damn happy right now. How could she describe the feeling of holding her
love and her daughter for the first time at once? Nothing could bring her down now...nothing except Buffy of course.

"So she waltz back in here after five years and you're not even ganna question if it's really her?" Her arms are folded over her chest,her right hand tapping wildy on her left forearm,her right hand clentched tightly around Mr.Pointy.

Spike lifted a brow,immediately feeling the tension rise about five hundred times over. "I think it's her luv-"

"Shut the hell up Spike." Buffy snapped,giving him a glare that could move mountains. "I don't trust her." she looked at Faith.

"Buffy-"

"Shh." Sammy placed a finger over Faith's lips,electricity flowing through her from that simple touch. "It's okay Faith. I have
this." she asured her,setting her down and releasing Kristin. "I see you haven't changed a bit Buffy. Still PMSing like crazy
huh?"

"Shut your mouth!" Buffy snarled,making Jessie jump back behind Faith.

"Mom don't-"

"Kristin,it's okay." Sammy gives her a reassuring wink. "I get that you don't trust me Buffy,I wouldn't trust me either frankly to be honest. But I'll stake myself before anything happens to my girls."

"You're girls?" Buffy looks indignent,incredious. She's seriously considering staking her ass on the spot,but she catches Kristin swiping out and grabbing Sam's hand. What the hell?...

"Buffy..." Sam gets a hurt look on her face. She's not trying to breeze back in here and just take everything away from her. That's horrible,she can't think of doing that after she's taken care of both Faith and her daughter. But then again,just to be,
fair,she did die. "I know what you're thinking Buffy,...it's not like that."

Her hand pulses around the stake,the vein at her neck becoming visible. "What am I thinking Sam?"

"I'm not here to take them away from you Buffy. I have no right."

"Damn right you don't."

"She has every fucking right!" Faith steps in,tired of watching Buffy insult her girl. One thing is to talk this out it's totally different for her to lash out at her like it's her fault.

"Of course! Take her damn side Faith! Like you always do,even when you thought she was dead!" Buffy's hands are shaking with her
rage. This just isn't fair,not in the lease and now even Kristin and Jessie are backing her up.

Sammy releases Kristin's hand,giving her a hurt look and nudging her head towards Buffy. "Go with your mom kiddo. You should be
by her side."

"But-" Kristin begins to protest,but Sammy gives her a stern look that leaves no room for arguing. She nods,taking Jessie's hand
and trudging to Buffy's side.

"Faith," Sammy gives her a sad smile, "you need to be with your daughter. She's over there,the pretty little thing with the grey
eyes,you know the one?" she tries to joke,but her attempts are lost and in vain,Faith can see through her like tracing paper.

"God don't be the fucking noble hero again Sam." Faith sounds pissed,about ready to whip out some cans of kick ass on both Buffy
and Sam. Buffy for being such a damn bitch,and Sam for being such a fucking little hero.

"Faith-"

"Sam," Faith mutters through clentched teeth, "don't. Because I'm about two seconds from putting your ass in a coma." She whirls
around at break neck speed,her glare solely for Buffy who shrinks down a little. "And you. I'm about two seconds away from
maiming you."

"Faith-"

"Keep it shut Buffy or I will."

Buffy clamps her mouth shut,droping her eyes to the floor where she finds that the carpet actually has a very interesting pattern if you take the time to look at it as hard as she is.

Faith sighs,obviously very upset with both of them. Turning to Sammy who is busy grinning at Kristin and Jessie,she hooks her arm around hers and strats pulling her towards the door. "Lets go for a walk Sam."

Buffy's head snaps up,the angry look back on her face, "But Faith-"

"Not now Buffy."

She cringes at how cold Faith sounds towards her. What did she do wrong? Surely her point is valid.

"Kristin,Jessie you two behave yourselves." Faith warns,eyeing them both for good measure. She knows she doesn't have to say that though. What with the way Kristin's been admiring Sammy,sex with her girlfriend will be the farthest thing from her mind...
But then again...Maybe not...

"Mom I want to go,I wanna get to know Sammy."

"Not now Kristin,there'll be time for that a little later on in the day. Right now I need to get out of here before my fuckin'
head explodes. Come on Sammy." she tugs on her hand,motion towards the door.

Sammy gets that oh so familiar look on her face when she's about to protest,but she gives her hand a quick hard squeeze and a
death glare that leaves her swallowing hard and nodding her head like a bobble. "Okay. Lead the way."

"That's what I thought." Faith tries to glare at her as they walk out through the giant hole in the living room,but Sammy's
little pouty lip makes her grin like a nut instead. "Just great." she sighs in mock fustration.

Sammy trains her eyes on her,a grin of her own appearing. "What's that?" she ask,taking her hand and kissing her knuckles,blush
hard on her face like the first time she did that to her.

"I'm completely and totally whipped all over again."

"Me too."

....But why does it feel like a lie?
