"Andrew...the Star Wards geek, right?" I said. "Hm, I don't have any problems with him. As long as he behaves."

I turned to the door and made to open it.
"Mai? What are you doing?" Doc asked with a frown.
"Charlie needs me." I said simply, and walked in.
"Excuse me miss, we're not finished here." One of the cops said. I made eye contact with Charlie, and a wry half smile met my lips.
"Yeah you are." I replied. They all shuddered slgihtly, and blinked, then one nodded slowly, saying,
"Erm... Martial arts, yeah. I see that... just um... yknow... er, be more careful next time...." The others nodded, and left the room, still looking pretty vacant. "Have a... um... nice... nice day." The cop said blinking in confusion as he left.
((That was what you meant, yeah?? Ill change it if i got it wrong!!))

"Nicely done," I said with a smile as Maya and i entered. "Charlotte, you know our argument earlier? About Zoe being a Watcher or not?"
"Yeah?"
"Kinda out of our hands," I said, sitting on the bed and showing Charlotte the mark.

"Its so incredible..." I said, standing over them and smiling at the child as she blinked her big eyes as she awoke, and giggled. "And she is gorgeous Charlie." I added, leaning over to make stupid baby noises at her. Zoe made an odd noise i took to be a giggle, and unbelievably quickly, considering she was less than an hour old, reached up and grabbed hold of my hair as it dangled in front of her. I yelped.
"Ah, help, baby slayer strength, ow!" i cried as the kid out right laughed, which i didnt realise was even possible at that age, and tugged harder.

"Hey, easy, Zo," I said, taking the girl's hand and gently prying maya's hair loose. "Let you're aunts hair go. No need to rip it out, girly," the baby cooed happily as she transferred her grip to my finger.

"Can I...?" I left the question unfinished, watching Zoe with quite frank admiration.

"'Course." I gestured to Doc to give Zoe to Jessy and he did but kept an eye on them. "so...a slayer then." That was a twist I hadn't expected. "I guess instead of being a watcher then she's going to need one of her own."
"We were discussing that outside." Doc admitted. "Andrew was one idea."
"Andrew?" I questioned.
"Geeky guy." Was the answer I got.
"Oh." I wasn't really sure what else to say.
"MAybe we should stick with what we have here." Maya suggested.
"Huh?"
"Well you're a watcher Charlie, or as good as, and you're her mum. Wouldn't you be the best person?" Maya saw my doubtful look. "plus it would be a really great bond between you."
"I guess." It was quite a good idea actually. "But isn't it kind of a bad idea for me to be both to her, I mean one of the watchers' council's main principles was not to be emotionally involved and ok lack of emotions at the moment but that's not going to last I hope."
"Screw that rule." Doc said bluntly.
"Yeah look at Giles." Maya added. "C'mon Charlie I know you liked the old council but you know as well of us that there was a lot they did wrong. And this way she wont have to go anywhere else."
"And I could help you." Jessy piped up.
"Fine." I agreed. "We'll see how it goes."

"it'll work," I said. "'Cause there's a lot of support for you two. Which reminds me," I said slowly. "We were just going to wait thriteen years, then point Zo in the direction of the guy that beat you. If she takes after her father..."

"Then we are all screwed aren't we?" I said, grinning. "She's so, so, so-" a tug came on my hair. "So my sister."

"She's not going anywhere near him." I said firmly. "And neither are any of you. He's not generally a bad guy, he's a human who makes mistakes."
"A broken rib is a mistake?" Doc said disbelievingly.
"Just leave him out of it, he's not a part of your lives, I'll deal with it in a bit." The others still looked doubtful.

"Like my dad," I said slowly. "He made a whole lot of mistakes, including basically being responsible for my mother's death. I don't want him dead though. Yeah, I want him beaten up, but there is a line, where hatred stops and love begins. I don't know where the hell your line for him is, but I promise, we won't cross it, ever."

"You're decision," I said in agreement. "But I have my own line. He touches my daughter, the gloves come off. Alright?"
