Part 1: Bedtime

"Mommy, catch!" Buffy heard, as she turned to receive a stake being tossed at her. Shocked when she discovered the identity of the person helping her, she momentarily froze, allowing the vampire, with whom she was engaged in combat, to hit her in the face. Quickly regaining composure, the slayer returned the blow and plunged the stake through its heart. She turned to see Faith running towards herself and her daughter.

"Way to go with the stake toss, J," the brunette congratulated, stopping and high-fiving the seven year old child.

"Way to go?" Buffy asked, angrily. "Joyce, what are you doing out here?"

"It's not her fault," Faith replied, coming to the youngster's defence. "She couldn't sleep, so I said we should come out and give you a hand."

"Faith, you can't bring a child on patrol."

"Why not, B? It's not like anything was going to happen to her. I had her back the whole time."

Looking at the brunette in disbelief at her ability to form an excuse to justify her actions, Buffy turned and stormed away.

Faith and Joyce watched the slayer speed down the road.

The blonde youngster looked up at the brunette. "Are we in trouble?" she asked her.

"Big-time, kiddo," Faith assured her. She bent down and patted her shoulder, indicating that the child jump on.

Joyce climbed onto the slayer's back and was lifted as the slayer stood to full height.

"We better take the long way home," Faith told her. "Give mommy time to cool off."

Joyce nodded in agreement.

------------------------

Buffy made no response as her girlfriend and daughter returned home and greeted her.

Having pre-meditated a course of action, Faith nodded at the child and made herself scarce as Joyce walked into the living room and sat down next to her mother.

"Mommy, I'm sorry," she told her. "I didn't mean to make you mad. I won't do it again, I promise. It's just that I really miss you when you're gone."

Buffy couldn't help but relent to her daughter whose hazel eyes seemed to sparkle whenever she was upset.

"It's ok," she returned compassionately and causing Joyce to, as if on cue, throw her arms around her. The slayer hugged her daughter and stroked the child's long blonde locks, smiling at her adorability.

After a little while, the seven-year-old peered up at her mother and yawned audibly.
"I'm wicked tired," she professed. "I'm going to go to bed now."

Buffy's eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"Okay. Make sure you wash up first," she told her daughter, letting her go. She looked towards the living-room doorway, calling, "Faith, you can come in now!"

*Busted* the brunette thought, listening in. She shook her head at Joyce, who merely shrugged as she left the room and passed, before continuing upstairs.

Faith joined her girlfriend in the living room.
"What was that all about?" she asked her lover, taking a seat.

"Don't give me that," Buffy told her. "I know you put her up to it."

Deciding against continuing the charade, the brunette admitted, "I just told her what to say. But she really is sorry. We both are."

Noticing her girfriend's bid to look away from her, for fear of giving in too quickly. Faith couldn't help a smile from emerging as she tried in vain to lock eyes with the slayer. "So, am I forgiven?" she asked.

The blonde made no reply, dramatically shifting on the couch and turning her back to her girlfriend.

"Huh?" Faith asked, moving closer to the older slayer, wrapping an arm around her and kissing her on the neck from behind.

Buffy failed to reply.

Faith asked again and again, punctuating each plea with a kiss.

Unable to remain angry, Buffy relented, turned and met Faith's mouth with her own. The two sat locked in a kiss, until Faith broke it to stand.
"How 'bout we take this upstairs?" she asked, grinning.

Buffy stood and allowed Faith to lead her to their bedroom.

The brunette entered the room first and whipped Buffy inside. She closed the door behind her and removed her top as Buffy removed her shoes and sat on the bed.

The blonde slayer removed her own clothing and smiled as Faith stood over her and bent down to kiss her. The taller of them, reached behind Buffy with both arms and undid the clasp of her bra. She removed the garment and tossed it aside.

"Much better," she admired, pulling her lover up and kissing her again.
She ran her arm slowly down Buffy's back, stopping at her thigh and scooping her up.

Buffy smiled and wrapping her arms around the brunette's neck, hung on tightly.

Carrying the petite blonde, Faith walked over to the side of their bed. She whipped the covers aside and placed Buffy into their Queen sized before entering herself. Then, covering the both of them, Faith leaned in and kissed the blonde.

"Mmmm Faith," Buffy moaned, aroused and closing her eyes whilst taking hold of Faith's hand and running it down her body.

"Joyce," Faith replied.

The mood completely killed, by her girlfriend's utterance, Buffy opened her eyes to question her, before following Faith's gaze to see her daughter standing in the doorway.

"Mommy, I can't sleep," the child explained. "The monsters will get me. Can I stay here with you?"

Blushing from head to toe, Buffy was relieved when Faith spoke.
"S'ok J. You go back and I'll be there in a sec."

Joyce nodded, before leaving the room.

Rolling her eyes, before laughing at the situation, Faith got out of bed and began to get dressed.
"I'll try and see if I can get her to sleep and we can pick up where we left off."

Buffy smiled in response, laying back.

"Don't start without me," the brunette warned, leaving the room.
