*****************
"Oh for...." Giles swore, as the wind blew the front door shut behind him.
He was in his robe, pajama bottoms, and slippers and had just stepped out
briefly to get the newspaper. Buffy was still sleeping as was the baby, and
Giles had planned on getting the paper to add to the breakfast in bed he wanted to
surprise her with. The front door was one that automatically locked when it
shut. And since he hadn't expected to need a key just to get the paper, Giles
hadn't grabbed one. Which meant of course, that he was now locked out.
"Well this is just bloody marvelous. How am I supposed to get back in, short
of breaking a window? Yelling for Buffy certainly won't help, since I doubt
she'd even hear me, Slayer ears or not." Giles continued standing on the porch,
holding the stupid newspaper.
Minutes ticked by before he finally decided to sit down and wait. Surely
Buffy would wake up soon and wonder where he was. Right? Giles suddenly felt
something hit the back of his neck and realized it had started to rain.
"Lovely," he growled, as the rain began falling in earnest, soaking him
quickly. The newspaper hadn't lasted long as an umbrella. Would Buffy *never*
wake up?
**********
Buffy yawned and stretched in bed, then sat up and looked for her husband.
She heard rain falling outside, but paid no attention to it. Where was Giles?
She got out of bed and after checking on the baby, went downstairs in search of
him.
"Giles? Where are you?" she asked, looking all over but not seeing anyone.
**********
"Rain, rain, go away, come again another day..." he sang to himself, laughing
ruefully at his predicament. Wait, was that...
"Buffy?!" he practically shouted, bouncing up from where he'd been sitting
and turning towards the front door. "Buffy? I'm outside!" Giles yelled hoping to
be heard over the pounding of the rain.
*********
"Giles?" Where *was* he? She closed her eyes briefly and tuned into their
bond. She burst out laughing, then went and opened the front door.
*********
"Your paper, madam?" he bowed, then held out the soggy wet newspaper to his
wife. Buffy giggled then performed a little curtsy and pulled him into the warm
and *dry* house.
"Into the shower with you, Mister," she ordered, smacking his butt as he went
past her and headed up to the shower. He chuckled and vowed retribution on
her. What an interesting way to start the day.
