"They left at 11:30 last night, so they're definitely in town already, and I'm sure they come here soon because what they came to see is here, being Max and Logan, and it's 2:00 in the afternoon, a good time for visiting- No, not a good time because Angel and Spike, and they'll burn up because- oh hey look, the sun is out and that's what it does to vampires-" Willow's babble fest was cut off by the blonde currently engaging her in a lip lock.

"Thank you Tara." Faith said with an exaggerated sigh of relief.

Bouncing Max in one arm, Buffy used her free hand to lightly swat her wife's shoulder. "You be nice, Will's just excited to see the L.A. bunch again."

"Alright, I'll be good." The brunette replied, jutting out her full bottom lip in an adorable pout. Scooping up another helping of baby food onto the spoon, she brought it to Logan's mouth. Leaning closer to her little boy, she whispered, "Mommy never lets me have any fun."

"I heard that." Buffy called over her shoulder as she walked off to go change her daughter's diaper.

** 1 YEAR PRIOR **

Hearing the soft click of the front door opening and closing, Faith closed up the book she'd been paging through and hopped off the sofa. Walking into the hall, she helped Buffy out of her jacket, kissing her on the cheek as she did so. "You have a good time with Red on the best friend outing?" After hanging her wife's coat she went back to stand in front of Buffy, resting one hand on her large belly.

"Yeah, it was fun." Smiling into the most beautiful pair of brown eyes she'd ever seen, the blonde sighted in contentment. 'I really hope these little ones look like Faith, so beautiful, everything about her's just so...' Shaking her head a little, Buffy asked, "What've you been up to all day?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Faith kept her tone casual. "Working mostly, and a little surprise for you."

Getting as close to her wife as her expanding figure would allow, Buffy asked, "A surprise huh?"

Taking the blonde's lips in a soft kiss, the brunette broke away to take her hand and lead her up stairs. Looking behind her to see her wife's mischievous grin, Faith smirked. "This isn't what you're thinking succubus, it has nothing to do with our bedroom." With that said, she lead the blonde through the open nursery door.

Buffy's inhaled breath got caught in her throat at the sight of the room her children would sleep in. The walls were finished in the baby blue color, with children's cartoon characters sporadically placed along the ceiling border. Both cribs had been fully assembled, complete with dancing teddy bear mobiles. Blankets and sheets had been placed on the small mattresses, and the pillows barring the names Maxine and Logan were in their respective cribs. In a corner was a filled bookshelf and small toy chest already over flowing, the changing table was on the opposite side, and two rocking chairs were in their own little nook closer to the books.

Turning to face the brunette by her side, Buffy blinked back the moisture in her eyes. "It's beautiful Faith, you did an amazing job." Pushing up onto her tippy toes, the blonde pressed her lips to her wife's in a tender kiss. "They'll love it, I'm sure about that."

Kissing her wife on the forehead, Faith whispered, "You haven't seen the best part yet." Taking the blonde's hand she pulled the pregnant slayer over to the closet and opened the door. Inside all the clothes were pushed to one side, with the exception of two baby sized leather jackets, the only articles with any breathing room.

"Faith." Buffy said in an amused and exasperated tone.

** PRESENT DAY **

A rapid pounding at the front door had Faith jumping up from her seat on the sofa and rushing to answer it. As soon as it opened, she was greeted with the sight of two smoking blankets with Angel and Spike peeking out at her. "Angel, Spike come in." Both vampires went running past her into the safety of the house.

Coming up the walkway, Cordelia asked, "What, no invite for the rest of us?"

Letting out a small laugh, Faith smiled at the rest of the L.A. crew. "It's great to see you all, and that you haven't lost all that Queen C charm Cordy." Hugging the brunette seer, along with Wesley, Gunn, and Fred, the slayer lead the group into the living room.

Buffy looked up as the larger group of people arrived, and smiled happily. Hopping up from where she'd been playing with Logan and Max on the floor, she hugged each of the new arrivals. "I didn't think you'd be here `til sun down."

"That was the plan, but these two couldn't wait to see the babies." Cordy said, indicating the two vampires who were already fussing over the little ones with Gunn and Wesley. "Look at them, it's like they've never seen a baby before." Even as she spoke the words, she was walking over to join the small congregation.

Willow and Tara came up behind the two slayers and Fred after leaving the kitchen. Leaning toward the blonde wiccan, her green eyes on the people cooing to the babies, Willow smiled. "That's just too cute."

Looking over her shoulder at her two closest friends, Buffy nodded her head in agreement. "I've never seen them so mushy."

"Finally found something that gets A out of brood mode." Faith commented with a smile, wrapping an arm around Buffy's waist. Leaning in close to the blonde's ear, she whispered, "So how long do you think they'll stay?"

Smiling up at her love, her green eyes sparkling, Buffy shrugged. "At least a week."
