NOTES
I have been a fan of both the 'Buffy' movie and series since their respective beginnings,
and I decided to combine some 'Buffy' story with an element from the anime film
'Vampire Hunter D'. The element is the dampiel, the child of a human and a vampire.
Now, don't go jumping off the deep end when you finish this, thinking 'what the hell is he
doing?' This story has nothing to do with anything else, and it was just damn fun to
write. I like messing with histories that have never been revealed.
SYNOPSIS
It's three months after Buffy and Angel slept together, he's just recently back from
Hell. Let the drama begin.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
Might Have Beens and Maybes
Chapter 5 -- Is She or Isn't She?
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Joyce Summers was sitting in the living room of her house, nervously flipping through
the TV channels one by one. Looking at her watch, she shook her head. Ever since they
got home that morning just after 8, Buffy had been in her room, the boombox pumping
out music at a significantly higher than usual volume. Joyce had let her alone, and she
took a second to glance outside the window. She hadn't realized until looking at her
watch what time it was, and night had already fallen. Suddenly, she noticed that the
music emanating from Buffy's room had stopped, and she then heard her coming down
the stairs. Turning the TV off, Joyce sat on the sofa expectantly, steady in her
determination to be there for her daughter. Buffy rounded the corner, her face
unreadable.
"Well?" Joyce's eyes asked the question her mouth failed to shape.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
The vampire Angel was sitting on the low wall of his mansion looking up at the stars in
the clear California night. The entire past day had been difficult for him, but he couldn't
imagine how it had been for....he caught her scent and turned around to see her
standing there in the doorway.
"Buffy...."
He jumped down as he saw her and held her close. She returned the embrace for a
second before pulling away.
"Angel, we....we need to talk...."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Rupert Giles was on the verge of falling asleep, despite the large quantity of Earl Grey
tea he'd imbibed. As his eyes began to close for the night, he was jolted awake by a
knock on his door. Shaking some of the cobwebs from his mind, he grabbed his
glasses off the table before walking to the door and opening it.
"Buffy!" He was surprised to see her, but he quickly submerged that when he saw the
serious look on her face.
"Giles, mind if I come in?"
"No, no, of course not." Giles shut the door behind her and motioned her towards the
sofa, while he went to the bookshelf and picked up a leatherbound old volume, talking to
her as he seated himself. "I was rereading the story of Lothos' conception--" He
happened to look up as he sat down, and her expression caused him to stop talking.
"That's why I'm here, actually. I came to tell you, not to worry. I started."
Giles wasn't quite awake yet. "Beg pardon?"
Buffy's cheeks colored slightly. "I....I, uh, got my period."
A visible weight seemed to be lifted off Giles' shoulders at that. "Oh. Oh, thank heaven."
He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "That was absolutely the last thing we
needed."
Buffy put on the pseudo-perky front she used to detract attention from herself. "Yeah,
totally. I mean, could I have kept my slaying job and raised a child? That is, even if we
had been able to bind it. And talk about a kid with parental issues...."
The Englishman nodded, but he wasn't fooled. "Well, I'm....I'm glad that things turned
out the way you wanted."
Buffy nodded. "Yeah."
Giles looked her in the face, letting her see that he understood. "I'm also very sorry."
Tears started to run down Buffy's cheeks. "Yeah." She broke down totally as she
scooted into Giles' comforting embrace, letting herself cry like she hadn't in far too long
a time. Giles held his charge, giving her the emotional release she needed. They both
knew that this one-time fluke scare had been as close as she would probably ever get
to having a normal life with the man she loved. And Buffy wept, pouring out all the stress
of the past day.
