Rupert Giles was enjoying a good book and a nice cup of hot tea.

"Daddy?"

Giles looked over to his young four year old daughter...Who was busy playing with her dolls...She was his second favorite redhead...Alexandra was a beautiful little girl...Her green eyes sparkled with intelligence...

"Yes, Alexandra?"

"Why do butterflies fly?"

"Because they have wings."

"Why do they have wings?"

"So they can fly and make little girls happy."

"Why do cats have fur?"

"So that a little girl can pet their soft fur and make them happy."

After a moment of silence, Giles picked up his cup and sipped his tea. He knew he would not have long to wait...

"Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"When will Mommy get home?"

"Whenever she spends all of our money..." Giles said with a loving smile.

He set his cup back down and looked back to his book. Alexandra got up from the floor and walked to Giles. She climbed up into his lap. Giles set the book down and put a arm around his daughter.

"Daddy?"

Giles gave a soft sigh...

"Yes, Alexandra?"

"Why do you love Mommy?"

"I couldn't help but to love her."

"Do you still love Mommy the same as you did when you meet her?"

"No, princess, I love your Mommy more today then I did in the past...And I-I will love her even more tomorrow."

"Why do you love me?"

"I could not help myself..."

"Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"I love you...I love you, because you are my Daddy...A-And because you smell good..."

Giles started to laugh and said...

"Well, you smell good too..."

Giles lovingly caressed his daughter's red hair and moved her hair out of her eyes...

Hours later....

Willow opened the door. She set her many and various shopping bags down.

A gentle and loving smile crossed her face.

Father and daughter were taking a nap on the couch...They looked so cute...It was a Kodak moment...

Alexandra stirred and slowly opened her eyes...Green eyes meet green...

"Hi, sweetie, Mommy's back." Willow whispered.

"Mommy?"

"Yes, Alexandra?"

"Why do you love Daddy?"

"I couldn't help myself and he is also a great kisser."

"Mommy? Uncle Xander said one time you turned Daddy into a donkey...Is that true?"

"Yes, that is very true..."

"Why?"

"Your father said he wasn't good enough for me...That I needed someone younger and he said a lot of other stuff that made me mad...And I called him a...Well, another word for a donkey and he turned into one. Luckily he realized he was wrong and he also realized that he should never make a witch really mad..."

Alexandra laughed and said...

"Will you do it again?"

"I hope not." Giles said softly as he opened his eyes.

"Why, Daddy?"

"Because...I don't like being a jac...Um, a donkey...Though sadly a lot of men are just that...Donkey's"

"Mommy? Daddy?"

"Yes?" Both parents sighed...

"Can we, please, go to the park?"

Giles and Willow smiled as they nodded...

Alexandra squealed with delight...For when they went to the park afterwards they would always get ice cream....

As the family went to the door...Giles stopped Willow and pulled her up against him...He whispered in his wife's ear..

"So I am a good kisser, am I?"

Willow smiled up at her loving husband...

"You know it! And later tonight I want more of your wonderful kisses...Maybe we can have a repeat of last nights performance...And go way beyond kissing..."

"Why, Mrs. Giles! Hmmm...I just love how you think."

He placed his lips onto hers...As the kiss deepened Giles and Willow felt a tugging on their clothes...

They both ended the kiss and looked down at their daughter...

"Didn't you say we were going to the park?....And why are you two *always* kissing? And what is the other word for donkey?" Alexandra asked....

That day, Alexandra went to the park with her parents...But they never answered her kissing question...Nor did they tell her what the other word for donkey was....

(end)
