So here's the first chapter of the sequel. Hope y'all enjoy :)
Chapter 1
"I'm glad we decided to move in" Maggie commented suddenly as she glanced to her left at Bianca who was walking next to her, their hands clasped tightly.
"Me too" Bianca smiled warmly "This place really does feel like home...and Miranda loves it here too"
Maggie nodded in agreement "Uh-huh"
Bianca turned her gaze to Maggie sensing something in her tone "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine" the older girl replied "It's just. I don't know...I have a weird feeling. Like something's going to..."
"Whoa!" Bianca exclaimed as she stopped short causing Maggie to stop too "Don't say that. Whenever they say that in Movies something always happens"
"This isn't the movies" Maggie informed her with a bright smile "I doubt that anything's..."
"Okay" Bianca held up a hand to stop her girlfriend "Maybe you should stop with all of the unlucky movie clichés"
Maggie shook her head in amusement as they started to walk again "God you're weird Bianca"
"Nope" Bianca stated adamantly "I'm sane. These clichés are in the movies so that we don't do them in real life...Y'know like running up the stairs instead of out the front door etc"
"Riiiight" Maggie grinned "If you say so"
"I do"
"I still say you're weird" Maggie added as they neared the front door.
"Whatever" Bianca smiled warmly "Keys?"
Maggie pulled her hand from Bianca's and searched briefly through her pockets before finding her keys. They entered the house and shut the door behind them before following the sound of voices to the living room. They were greeted by the sight of Faith lying on the couch with Miranda sitting on her stomach perfectly balanced. Buffy glanced up from where she was researching and smiled brightly at them, offering them a wave. Faith was too busy chatting animatedly to Miranda who appeared totally enraptured to notice their quiet entrance.
"That's so cute" Maggie gushed teasingly causing Faith to look up at them.
"Shut up" she mumbled, blushing brightly before she turned back to Miranda.
"I agree" Bianca added.
"Same here" Buffy called as she pushed the books away from her and stood up, stretching slightly.
"Hey!" Faith protested "It's not fair to gang up on me!" she moved her gaze to Buffy "And you're supposed to be on my side!"
Buffy shrugged "And...?"
"I'm not Cute" Faith responded instantly "I'm Hot, remember?"
"You're full of yourself" Maggie grinned jokingly.
"Yeah, Whatever" Faith pouted. She turned back to Miranda and her frown turned instantly to a bright smile. Maggie shook her head and laughed out loud at her.
"What?" Faith questioned, still not looking up.
"I didn't say anything!" Maggie defended innocently.
"Where did you guys go anyway?" Buffy asked as she walked over to them.
"A walk" Bianca answered, holding up a small paper bag "And we brought you guys' breakfast"
"Oh My God Really?" Faith grinned, finally looking away from Miranda "You two are a total Godsend...Did you happen to buy some Coffee because I think we're out..."
"Yep" Maggie answered "So I take it you're not mad at me anymore?"
"I wasn't anyway" Faith responded quietly.
"But..."
"Ow!" Faith exclaimed as Miranda batted at her cheek.
"That means she likes you" Bianca informed her with a smile.
"She has a great way of showing it" Faith observed, smiling winningly at Miranda who had grabbed both of the slayer's thumbs in her small fists.
"Vampire's beating you up you can handle" Maggie pointed out "But Miranda slapping you hurts?"
"You're infuriating" The slayer replied.
"I'm hurt" the dyed brunette said mockingly as she placed her free hand over her heart. Bianca rolled her eyes at her girlfriend before she released her hand and walked over to the chair opposite the couch practically falling onto it.
"You seem tired" Faith said glancing over at her.
"Yeah well, someone" Bianca shot a glare at Maggie who shrugged innocently "Woke me up really early and refused to leave me alone"
"Refused to leave you alone?" Faith winked mischievously.
"Yeah" Bianca nodded obliviously. She frowned after a moment "Wait...You...Faith!"
The dark haired slayer grinned as a pink tint covered Bianca's cheeks "I didn't...I mean. It wasn't like that..."
"Sorry" Faith spoke up as Bianca sunk down in her chair "I'll behave" she shifted uncomfortably on the couch and sat up carefully, making sure Miranda was secure.
"Bianca?" Buffy spoke up suddenly causing Bianca to look away from Faith towards the older slayer "Are you coming...?" she motioned behind her.
"Where to?" Bianca questioned in slight confusion.
"You look like you need some coffee" Buffy explained.
"Oh!" Bianca said slowly as she stood up from the couch "Yeah, I do" she glanced at Faith and motioned towards Miranda "Do you want me to...?"
"Yeah" Faith winced as she attempted to untangle the young girls hand from her hair as gently as possible. When she was finally free she handed her to Bianca "Thanks Bianca"
Bianca offered her a soft smile and walked out of the room. Buffy was about to follow when Faith caught her wrist in a gentle grip "B?"
"Yeah?"
Faith cast a subconscious look at Maggie before pulling Buffy closer to her.
"I love you" she whispered.
"I love you too" Buffy replied just as softly as she pressed a tender kiss to Faith's lips. She pulled back after a minute and smiled warmly at Faith before following Bianca out of the room.
"You're such a softy" Maggie smiled as she slumped down on the couch next to Faith and nudged her gently.
Faith frowned "I am not!"
"Hey" Maggie said as she glanced at the doorway to make sure Buffy and Bianca were in the kitchen "What's wrong?"
Faith looked up at her in surprise "Why do you think that something's wrong?"
"Because I know you" Maggie replied as she placed her hand on top of Faith's "And I happen to know when you're trying to hide something...So c'mon Spill, What's wrong?"
"I'm happy" Faith said simply.
Maggie frowned in confusion "And that's bad because...?"
Faith sighed "I don't know...I guess I just feel like it's too good to be true or something"
"Why is everybody so cynical?" Maggie wandered out loud before she grasped Faith's hand tightly "Buffy loves you right?"
"Right" Faith responded hesitantly.
"You don't sound sure" Maggie observed quietly.
"Well how should I know if she loves me or not?" Faith shrugged.
Maggie exhaled noisily "Faith you're my best friend apart from Bianca but I swear to God I feel like slapping you sometimes"
"Thanks" Faith muttered dryly "I'm having a crisis and you wanna slap me"
"Okay" Maggie said calmly "I didn't mean that BUT I thought you had gotten past all of this..." she squeezed Faith's hand gently "You know she loves you!"
"You're right" Faith said softly "I'm sorry"
Maggie rolled her eyes "What for?"
"I know I can be pessimistic sometimes and I ..." Faith started.
"It's okay" Maggie interrupted "I understand"
"You do?" Faith asked quietly.
Maggie nodded and Faith pulled her into a tight hug "Thanks Mags"
"Anytime" Maggie whispered returning the tight embrace. When she pulled away she looked at Faith closely "Is that why you were so snappy with me earlier?"
Faith winced "Yeah...Sorry about that..."
"Don't worry about it" Maggie reassured her "But you're okay now, right?"
"Yeah" Faith nodded "Just a bad start to the day...I guess I need some coffee" she stood up and the room began to spin as a slight pain passed through her head "Whoa!"
"What?" Maggie questioned as she stood up and grabbed Faith's arm to steady her "Are you okay? What's wrong?"
"I'm fine" Faith said softly as she glanced at Maggie "I just stood up to fast" she smiled at the younger girl "Chill"
Maggie rolled her eyes as she followed Faith into the kitchen where Bianca stood drinking coffee next to the Counter and Buffy was pacing with Miranda. Faith rushed instantly to the coffee maker and poured herself a cup of steaming coffee. She leaned against the counter and took a tentative sip, a sigh of relief escaping her as she swallowed the strong liquid. Maggie shook her head in amusement at the slayer's dramatics before she moved over to Bianca and wrapped her arms around her from behind.
"Hey" she whispered as she placed a soft kiss on Bianca's shoulder.
"Hi" Bianca smiled warmly when she turned around to face Maggie. She leaned forward and placed a tentative kiss on her lips.
"You guys are sickeningly sweet" Faith said from where she stood watching them, coffee still held firmly in her grasp.
Maggie stuck her tongue out at her "Whatever"
"Mature come back" Bianca whispered in her ear.
"Hey!" Maggie exclaimed in offence.
"I'm just saying" Bianca grinned.
"Are you guys still coming on patrol later?" Buffy spoke up suddenly causing all eyes to focus on her.
"Yeah" Bianca and Maggie said in unison.
"You still coming with us Faith?" Buffy questioned, glancing at the dark haired slayer.
"Hell yeah!" Faith exclaimed casting a grin at Bianca and Maggie "We have a score to settle tonight"
"You're not gonna win" Maggie argued.
"We'll see" Faith nodded.
---
The blonde slayer leaped into the air effortlessly and sent a hard kick at the vampires head. She twisted her whole body so she landed facing away from the dazed vamp.
"Ha!" Faith exclaimed as Buffy whirled around and staked the vampire in one fluid motion "We win! 7-4 ! And we didn't even break a sweat...unlike you guys"
Indeed Bianca and Maggie were breathing heavily and grasping their sides.
"Actually" Buffy stated from where she had slumped to the ground "I think I broke my ankle"
"What?!" Faith questioned in slight panic as she rushed to her girlfriend. Maggie too rushed over though she was still breathing quite heavily.
"Let me see" Maggie mumbled as she pulled Buffy's jeans up slightly to reveal her ankle which had already started to swell "I don't think it's broken...Maybe sprained..." she looked around "Um...I need..."
Faith nodded and grabbed her shirt under her jacket tearing a strip of material easily off. She handed it to Maggie.
"Thanks" Maggie said quietly as she took the material and dressed Buffy's ankle as gently. She heard Buffy wince and bit her lip guiltily "Sorry"
"Its fine" Buffy replied quietly.
"All done" Maggie stated at last "Just...stay off it for a while, okay?"
"Okay Doc" Buffy grinned.
Maggie shook her head in amusement as she offered Buffy a hand helping her up off the ground. The blonde slayer leaned heavily on her uninjured right foot.
"Need a lift?" Faith questioned as she steadied Buffy with an arm around her waist.
"Do you mind?" Buffy questioned somewhat piteously.
"Not at all" Faith smiled charmingly as she stepped forward and placed a light kiss on Buffy's lips. She turned around "Hop on"
Buffy limped forward slightly and wrapped her arms around Faith's neck before she jumped onto the younger girls back. Faith caught her and held her securely.
"At least we won" Buffy smiled quietly as she placed a soft kiss on Faith's cheek.
"Good point" Faith nodded as she started to walk. She glanced behind herself at Bianca and Maggie who were still standing in the same position "Are you two coming?" she began to walk again when the other two girls started to follow.
"And they say we're sickeningly sweet" Bianca commented as Maggie slipped her hand into hers.
"My thoughts exactly" Maggie said quietly as she leaned forward and kissed Bianca gently "I love you"
"I love you too" Bianca smiled warmly as she squeezed Maggie's hand tightly. They continued walking behind the two older girls they now called family until they reached the safety of the house.
