"I can't raise my hand because, you know, not clever right now, but me to. Living, breathing sister. No offence Mal."
"None taken."
I smiled and looked down at the child. For a moment, I could have sworn her eyes were green, shaped like mine. Like Mum's. Like I imagined the first Zoe's would have been.

"Thanks guys, I knew we'd be safe here. Now do you reckon there's any way I can get out of here?" "I suppose so." A nurse said cheerfully bustling into the room. "Since you seem to be doing so well. I'll have the doctor give you and the baby a once over, you can fill in some paperwork and I doubt it'll be too long. You might want to start gathering your things together." "Things?" I repeated blankly as she left. "Oh my g-d, i have nothing. I have no money, no nappies, no food, no baby clothes, hell no clothes that are gonna fit me. What am i gonna do? I can't go home in a hospital gown?" I paused for a second. "Where am I going to go? I don't have a home?"

"Spare rooms at the Dojo," I said. "And don't worry about baby things. I'll grab some on the way."
"Doc..."
"She's my daughter too,' I said. "I can look after her, can't I?"

"He's determind so you may as well give in before he goes all the way and buys you a large house," I said with a small smile, leaning in the door way watching them.

"Darn tootin'," I said. "At least, here, we can get there quick in case ass wipe shows up."
"Can I send him bankrupt?" Mal asked through a near by intercom.

"I think we've found someone Doc hates more than my Dad," I said in suprise. "Charlie, this guy is lucky an atomic bomb hasn't hit him by now."

I chuckled, "And dont worry about baby stuff- i've still got all Ailas, and considering the length of time she was actually a baby, it's practically brand new."

"You can say that again. No, don't. Look." I smiled at the warm bundle in my arms. "She's asleep."

I looked at the bundle in Jessy's arms. My other little girl. So cute, too. I swore I would not let anything happen to her, or her mother. charlotte and I maybe over, but i couldn't let anything happen to her. No girl should grow up without either parent.

"I think she'll be a red head, like her mum," I said, sitting down beside Charlie. "Was your hair curly when you were small?"

"She'll only be redhead if Doc's got a redhead gene in there somewhere." I said, my highschool biology cutting in. "Any red haired relatives, bro?"

I smiled. "No my hair's always been pretty straight but my mum's was curly. If she is a red head I just hope she's better at controlling her red headedness than me." "Being a slayer? You've got to be kidding." Jessy said. Maya looked at me, slightly anxious. "You ok with her being a slayer?" She asked. "Yeah." I replied truthfully. "I'm glad she is." "Huh?" That obviously wasn't the reaction they had expected. "Well it means she'll never feel she's second best. She'll never be so close and not actually be the one. I mean if she's going to grow up around you guys it would be pretty easy for her to feel inferior, just look at all the power you have. Now though she's a slayer and like it or not she's part of the watcher line. She can do whatever she wants. If anything I guess I'm a little jealous of the power she's going to have."

"But you're gonna be the one to teach her how to use that power." I said with a smile, "you're gonna be part of it the whole way."

"I guess." I said sighing. "It makes her a more challenging baby too." I said worriedly. "I mean not only do I have a baby i am so not prepared for but I also have an apparently abnormally strong one and presumably she's going to have a few other tricks up her sleeve." "Nothing we can't handle." Maya said cheerfully and i only got time to give her a look before the doctor came bustling in to check Zoe and me over.

We had to leave the room again while the doctor examined the pair, but i made sure the doctor knew all about the martial arts first, if you know what i mean. In only a few minutes the doctor left and we were allowed back in. Charlie was smiling, "Im allowed to leave." She said happily, "Where did my clothes go?" "In the bin probably. Health hazard." I said with a chuckle, but Charlie didnt look happy. I held my hands out before me, and a moment later there was a small pile of clothes resting on them. "Freshly ported from home." I said, dumping them on the bed. "I told you Charlie, you dotn need to worry about anything."
