Author's Note: Hey everybody! I just reach over 1,700 views for this story. I'm pretty happy right now. Here is the newest chapter.
Enjoy!
It was clear skies at the JFK airport when a private jet suddenly lands. Inside was one passenger, Rupert Giles. As soon the door opens he quickly gets out. He had his small travel bag in one hand and his cell phone in the other, while he walks through the airport to get outside. First he dialed Faith's cell phone but it went straight to voicemail. Next he tries Willow's cell. After three rings they finally pick up.
"Giles," Willow asked.
"Willow! Is Faith with you? I tried calling her cell phone but there was no answer," Giles said.
"Yeah, she's here. We're at the school with the twins," Willow answered.
"The twins are there as well? Good! This makes things easier," Giles breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look Giles, this really isn't a good time. We have a bit of a situation. I know it's probably night there in London..."
"I'm not in London," he answered.
"What?"
"I'm not in London. I'm here in New York. I just landed. Willow, this situation you spoke of...does it involve the twins," Giles asked curious.
"How did you know," Willow asked surprised.
"What's that thing you're talking into," a voice asked Willow.
"Who was that," Giles asked curious.
"Um, never mind. How did you know about the twins?," she repeated.
Giles quickly grabs a cab and climbs in.
"One of the witch covens. Willow I'm getting into a cab and I'm heading to the school right now. I should be there in half an hour. Tell Faith that I'm coming and that it's important that I speak with her about the twins," Giles explained.
"All right. I'll tell her. See you soon Giles," Willow said.
"Yes, good bye."
Giles hung up his cell and took a deep breath. He pulled out the old textbook he was looking at back in London.
"Hey buddy, where to," the taxi driver asked him.
"Oh! Joyce Summers School for Gifted Girls in Manhattan please," he answered.
As the driver started headed toward the freeway Giles flipped through the pages of the book. Unknown to the Watcher a dark shadow was watching him from the rear window, following him to his destination.

Meanwhile back at Joyce Summers School for Gifted Girls
This day was getting crazier and crazier by the minute. Willow decided that everyone should cool down for a while. She decided to show Tinkerbell around the school. Neal took Emma and Henry back to the infirmary to check on Mr. Gold. Iris and Colin were told to stay in the office so their parents could talk outside. But they wanted to know what was going on. I mean, it's not everyday that you find out that your father is Captain Hook. The twins sneaked outside and found their parents arguing in the courtyard. They hid behind the pillar to listen but luckily they were being very loud.
"Let me get this straight. You told our children that I was some random stranger you met one night and never saw again. You painted me like some heartless bastard!," Hook demanded angrily.
"Because you are!" she yelled.
"You should have told me!" he yelled back.
"How exactly was I suppose to contact you? Last time I checked they don't have telephones in Neverland. And even if I did tell you, you wouldn't have cared," Faith snapped.
Hook looked like she just punched him in the stomach.
"How dare you! I'm a lot of things but I would never abandon my own children. I'm not my father," he growled.
Faith was trying not to break every bone in the pirate's body but it was becoming more difficult. She took a deep breath and looked him in the eye. Damn it! Even after all these years his eyes still managed to pull her in. She was torn between killing him or kissing him.
"What do you want from me," Faith asked softly.
"I want to meet my children. I want to teach my son how to sail. I want to know what my daughter's favorite food is. I know I hurt you and you have every right to hate me but please give me a chance to know my children. Please Faith," he pleaded.
She was about to answer when she heard a sneeze. Faith and Hook turned to see the twins hiding the pillar.
"I thought I told you guys to stay in the office," Faith scolded them.
"We know but you two were being pretty loud so we might as well see what's up," Iris pointed out.
"Besides, we want to meet our dad too," Colin added.
Hook felt his heart fluttered when he heard Colin call him 'dad'.
Faith looked at the twins and finally decided.
"Well, don't just stand there. Introduce yourself," Faith said.
Iris and Colin smiled at each other. Iris stepped forward first.
"I'm Iris Willow Lehane," she said proudly.
Then it was Colin's turn.
"I'm Colin Liam Lehane," he said proudly.
"Your middle name is Liam," Hook asked surprised.
"Yeah, that's our Uncle Angel's real name," Colin explained.
"Is that so? Well, did you also know that Liam is also the name of my brother," he asked curious.
"You have a brother," Colin asked excited.
"I did, but he died a long time ago. But I know he would have loved to meet you two," he smiled.
"Cool! You know Colin's name was suppose to be Colleen," Iris teased.
"Iris!" Colin warned his sister.
"Really," Hook laughed.
"Yeah, mom thought she was having twin girls. I was born first and two minutes later Colin was born and she was super surprise that it was a boy instead. But it would have been funny if Colin ended up with a girl's name," Iris giggled.
"Shut up!" Colin punched her in the shoulder.
"Ow! Mom!," Iris cried, punching her brother in the arm.
"Ow! Dad!," Colin cried.
"All right, break it up you two," Faith warned.
"That's right. Listen to your mother," Hook said.
"Okay," they said together.
Faith was impressed. Only a dad for five minutes and Hook seemed to handle things well. Of course their family moment was short lived when Willow and Tink came running up to them.
"Faith! I just got a call from Giles," Willow said to the slayer.
"What did he say," Faith asked.
"Well, he's in New York and he's on his way to the school as we speak. Apparently he got word from one of the witches coven about the twins. I don't know how much he knows but he said he would explain everything once he gets here," Willow said.
Faith looked at the twins with worried eyes. Growing up with a drunk mother she learned how to look out for herself but now she had her kids to think about. She couldn't loose them.
"Tink, you said you came here from Neverland for the very same reason. Why does Peter Pan want our children so badly," Hook asked the ex-fairy.
"Because the twins are the only thing standing in Pan's way of coming to this world," Tink explained.
While they were talking Giles' taxi pulls up to the front of the school. Giles pays the driver and goes inside, not noticing that the dark shadow had attached himself to Giles.
Author's Note: What do you think the shadow is going to do? I hope you guys like the new chapter! I'm doing pretty awesome. I've been posting up stories none stop. But just recently I had to delete one of my newest stories because it was using song lyrics and it's against the rules. Damn! It's okay though. At least I have my other stories.
