Nicole agreed to come with me to see the kids so we made our way through the jungle to get back to the beach. I figured that Faith would be ok with Nicole since she was our kids aunt and a slayer. She wasn't going to let me hurt the kids anymore than Faith would. Besides, it was becoming really clear that Faith and I needed to learn to deal with ( Read more... )

Getting out of the compound was a lot easier than it should've been considering every scientist in the entire building had disappeared. I didn't know what the fuck that meant, but with Faith carrying around her unconscious sister over her shoulder I took it as a favor. We were on our way back to the beach when Grace woke up and at least for once things seemed to not being going straight to hell ( ... )

There was no clue what Tyler was trying to tell Faith, but I wondered if we would really have to wait that long to find out. If they kept growing so fast we would have them talking in full sentences in no time. It was so terrifying, but it didn't matter how fast they grew up. They would still be our babies ( ... )

I smiled a little bit at Harry when he told me Lexi looked just like me. It wasn't the first time I'd heard that either. She was a little firecracker too, just like I'd been when I was her age. Tyler looked like me too, but also like his dad. It wasn't my fault that really Harry and I could pass for brother and sister. At least we had good genes for bein' pretty. Which was probably gonna drive me crazy when they actually were teenagers ( ... )

"Can so," I told her with a smile as I kept my eyes on the kids. They were running and chasing each other and I knew that everyone else was watching them too. The kids were amazing. They were my entire world now. Everything had changed when they became a part of our lives.

"The up side to the island is I can actually be their dad in the daytime, but I don't think that is a fair trade for them. We have to figure out how to get them home."

I drew my legs up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them as I watched Lexi push Tyler into the sand and laugh. He looked at her for a moment before scrambling to his feet and chasing her. They were both babbling and I wondered if that was the twins language that I had heard about. Could they understand each other when the rest of us could only make our mama and dada?

"I can go back to spoiling all of you once we got off the island. I'll buy you a pony too if you want." I looked over at her for a second and noticed she was really sleepy. "All kids want a pony, right?"

Getting off the island was pretty much our top priority right now and I couldn't help but think about my conversation with James. Was getting off the island and how one of the answers that James swore he had and that I would have to go to him for. I didn't now, I didn't know much of anything. Story of my life, right?

"A pony?" I asked him incredulously, wrinkling up my forehead. "Do I look like the kind of girl who needs a pony?" I smirked and shook my head before lookin' back at Lexi who was pretty much bullying her brother into following her lead.

"Did you ever picture yourself as a dad?" I asked him curiously, carefully watching his expression for only a sec before turning back to look at the two little dark haired babies running around like they were possessed by the Pixie Stix Demon or something.

I never pictured myself as a parent, but I liked being one anyways. I wondered if that was how it felt for all parents, at least at first. Weren't all parents supposed to feel like this about their kids?

"Yeah, I think you need your own pony." It was true, actually. I couldn't make up for her childhood, but we had bonded over never being allowed to have a dog. Why shouldn't I buy her a pony? Hell, I'd buy ponies for our sisters too if they wanted. I'd buy a stable. Whatever it took to make them smile ( ... )

"I know what you mean." I mused softly. It wasn't a reference to always wantin' to be a parent because I never thought I would be in a position to be one, but I understood what he meant about the amazing and scary parts. I was right there with him on that one. It was scary, because it was new and I didn't really get it just yet. Whatever it is. But I knew I would kill for them, just as surely as I would die for them. To keep them safe ( ... )

The moment our skin made contact the shiny perfect picture that had been creating in mind cracked a bit. It was the reality check I needed because things were not perfect. I was a vampire and she was still repulsed by that. She had time to adjust to Angel being that way, but we both knew I wasn't Angel ( ... )

I didn't mean....right now. Did I? I mean comin' up with a plan was pretty important but not as important as say my sanity, cause I kinda needed that. I just meant to stress that it needed to happen just...not now. I wasn't thinkin' clear enough to come up with a plan right now, or ready to talk about what happened during Grace's rescue. I needed to sleep before thinkin' about all of this. I was so tired ( ... )

"Get some rest and talk with Grace. I've got this under control." Ok I was pretty sure I had this under control. Besides Angel, Connor and Nicole were on the beach and watching. Any of them would help if I needed it ( ... )
