Chapter 12

~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~

Faith was sweating bullets.
She’d faced demons, vampires, and monsters. All in the course of her life. All part of ‘the destiny’ she’d inherited when she became a slayer. Yet, in all that, with all the horror and suffering she’d encountered, nothing had prepared her for this.
“Why didn’t they clue me? I never expected this. How’m I gonna face this pain? How’m I gonna face the torture? If I fail, I’m gonna let everyone I know and love down. This is so not fair. How can they expect me to do this? I’m not prepared. I’m so not prepared. I’ve worked hard. I’ve tried even harder. How can I do this? I gotta do this. Everyone’s counting on me. Be calm, Faith. Find your center. You can do this… all will be well.”
Faith checked her supplies. All checked out. Now it was just a waiting game. Waiting for the ordeal. If she made it through this, it would be over. She would be safe. Everything she had worked for would be intact. Her friends would still accept her. Buffy would still love her. Yes, she could do it. For love of Buffy. She could do it!
She waited, gathering her courage. It would begin any moment.
“ OK Class, you can turn your test papers over and begin. You have 50 minutes. Good luck”
Final exams. The bane of school life.
Faith began her exam, using what strategies she had learned in therapy to compensate for some of the problems she had reading it. Slowly, she worked her way through her exam, and with each question, gained confidence. She was gonna do this, she knew she was gonna do this.
Dr. Lila Morgan watched as the students took their exam. She knew some of them were bright, would literally breeze right through it. Some would struggle, because they had a harder time with school. But she knew no student had worked harder than Faith DeMarco to finish this exam, and to get her G.E.D. Along with her Dyslexia, and her having to work, she had made every effort to keep up with the rest of the class. It had been a struggle…sometimes a very difficult struggle. Towards the end of the semester, Faith had stopped coming for awhile. Personal troubles involving her father, and his subsequent death, had taken priority. Dr. Morgan was not one to cut slack. She felt that one had to commit to excel, and she was almost ready to have Faith come back next year, to complete. But Faith, and her friends, had made an eloquent case for her continuing. To graduate on time. So, Dr. Morgan had given her a chance. She had to complete a special research paper, and pass her final exams. If she did that, Dr. Morgan would allow her to graduate. She knew it would be particularly hard for Faith. But she also knew that Faith was not a quitter. If she really wanted this, she would do the requirements.
Faith had not disappointed her. She had fulfilled the requirements, and turned in the paper on time. It wasn’t perfect, but it was well done, and included an index, footnotes and annotations where appropriate. Sources were credited and cited, and it deserved the A that Dr. Morgan gave it. Now Faith was here, on the final day of instruction, doing her finals. She was struggling with them. Dr. Morgan knew how tough it was for her. But she wouldn’t quit. It made Dr. Morgan proud; she couldn’t have been prouder if Faith had been her own daughter.
Faith had the support of the scoobies. After the problems she’d had with the Watcher’s council, and the subsequent time she’d lost studying, they wanted to help her complete her courses, and get her G.E.D. They knew it was important to her, and it became important to them too. Hey, she’s part of the gang. We hang together, ya know?
Willow helped Faith with her special project report. She showed Faith how to assemble it, how to annotate and index and footnote it properly. She helped her with structure, but Faith did the actual work of putting it together. When she showed Willow the final , completed report, and its grade, Willow gave her high praise. And Faith blushed; she wasn’t used to this.
Everyone helped drill her on her finals. Even Anya and Xander, neither known for their bookish ways, contributed to her studies. Even if sometimes it was only to make the donut runs. They would drill her orally, then show her the material in the book so she could better understand the reading. They devoted a lot of time and effort to it. Now was the time to see if it paid off.
Faith took her time with the exam. She carefully read each question, making sure she understood what was being asked. Then she found what she thought was the answer, and continued on. Some of the questions confused, her, but she expected that. She did her best, and completed the exam just before time was up.
She got up and turned in her test booklet and blue book. She was getting ready to leave when Dr. Morgan stopped her.
“Faith, do you have a few minutes? I would like you to stay after, if you could” Dr. Morgan said
“Sure, Dr. M.” Faith said, shrugging. She smiled, but she didn’t feel like smiling. Her nerves were all on edge. All she really wanted to do was get home and forget about the final.
After the last student had left, Dr. Morgan turned to Faith
“ Faith, it’s certainly not my normal policy, but I’d like to take the time to grade your exam now. You’ve worked very hard this year, and I want you to be able to go home knowing if you’ve passed. I think, with all you’ve been through, you deserve that.”
“Thanks, Dr. M. “ was all she could say. She’d been really worried about this class. It was her last final, and she’d already gotten the scores back on the others. She’d passed…C’s mostly, an occasional B. But hey, it was still passing. But this class, with all its reading and writing, had been daunting to her. She’d struggled all year with it. But Dr. Morgan had helped her a lot. If not for her, she’d still be struggling hard with the reading. She owed her a lot. And it was important to Faith that she not let her down…not after all the time she’d invested in her.
Faith sat down, and waited. And waited. Half an hour passed, and she was ready to jump out of her chair. She was never one for sitting still long, and she was especially on edge. Just as she was ready to bolt, Dr. Morgan looked up, and signaled her to come to her desk.
Faith was nervous. She really wanted to do well. But she also knew this was her hardest class. She would be satisfied with a C. Even a D would be ok. At least she could graduate. But she wanted to do better than that. Because she really liked Dr. Morgan, and wanted her to be proud of her.
“ So, how’d I do?” Faith asked. Her voice was a little shaky.
“Here, see for yourself” Dr. Morgan handed her back her Blue Book. Faith opened it, expecting for all the world to see a C or D.
She got an A- . Her only A in all her classes. She …was floored
Dr. Morgan smiled. “ You did great work Faith. I’ll be frank with you. When you first came to class, I didn’t expect you to pass. You worked hard, and were bright, but your written work was…not good. And your scores on the tests were…worse. But once we found out about your problem, and you started therapy, your work improved dramatically. You started living up to the kind of work I knew you were capable of. Very well done, Faith. You deserve it”
Faith was on a cloud. She couldn’t believe it. She was in shock, still. She just nodded, made some noise that sounded like “Thank you” and left.
Dr. Morgan watched her go, and was a little sad. She was going to miss Faith. She was one of those rare students that made teaching worth the hassle.
~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~
Faith was still in a daze when she walked out of the school… and she nearly rammed right into Buffy.
Buffy had been waiting for her. She knew that Faith had her last final, and wanted to be there to give her support. She knew that Faith was really nervous about this one. She’d become a little concerned when the other students had come out. Finally, after waiting for nearly 45 minutes, she was ready to go in and check. She was just heading in when Faith came out…thus, the near miss.
“ B? How long you been waitin?” Faith asked. “Is everything ok?”
“Yeah, fine” Buffy said.” I just wanted to come down to meet you when your final was over. So, how come you’re so late getting out?” Buffy was a little concerned. She knew how important this had been for Faith. She was afraid of bad news. Then she saw the smirk on Faith’s lips…the same cocky smirk she got whenever she was totally happy.
Faith held out her blue book for Buffy. Buffy looked at it, opened it and saw the grade. She took Faith in her arms and hugged her tight. “ Baby, I’m so proud of you” Buffy whispered in her ear. Faith just melted. She loved it whenever Buffy said that to her.
They kissed, a soft gentle kiss. Then they made their way home, arm in arm.
~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~
Their lovemaking that night was special.
Each wanted to give the other such pleasure, they were so happy at this moment.
They were giggling like the kids they were, playing grab ass and kissing every little minute, they finally fell on the bed, and started ripping at each other’s clothes. They wanted to be naked NOW!!! They came together, skin to skin, and their kisses grew in heat and passion. Their hands explored each other, and then Faith took charge, and took Buffy. She rolled her over on her back, and straddled her. She slowly caressed her breasts and sides, until Buffy’s nipples were hard. Then she leaned over, and licked and bit them in the way that made Buffy go crazy. She kept at it, Buffy pleading for mercy, all the time panting and sighing in utter pleasure. Faith began to slide down her, her lips and tongue doing nasty nice things to her…all with Buffy’s approving moans. She darted her tongue in and out of Buffy’s navel, then worked her way down, nibbling on her thighs. She spread Buffy’s legs(well…Buffy had helped with that already), and attacked her sex with vigor. She took Buffy’s folds in her teeth and gently nibbled them. Buffy was going crazy from desire, her hips rocking and squirming. Her moans deepened and grew louder…louder still when Faith attacked her bud with her tongue. She slipped 2 fingers in Buffy, and brought her over the edge…and then wouldn’t stop, but kept pushing Buffy’s climax higher and higher… Buffy left the building and the planet…and was in some nebula far, far away. Finally, out of sheer exhaustion, she had to push Faith’s eager mouth away. She was afraid her brain would burst open.
When she’d recovered, she started in on Faith. She licked and bit her way all over Faith, cause Faith particularly loved being bit. She moved her way down, licking on her thighs and calves, finally reaching Faith’s feet. Then she began sucking on Faith’s toes…because nothing sent her crazy like that did. Faith was moaning softly as Buffy took each toe and erotically licked and sucked on it. Faith was sure she’d died, and gone to heaven, she was feeling so good…but Buffy wasn’t near done. She worked her way back up Faith’s legs, nibbling and biting and licking, making Faith squirm and buck. Then she approached Faiths sex, and lightly blew on it. Faith let out a loud groan. Buffy’s tongue went to work, pushing it’s way into Faith. She knew faith liked being licked out. While she did that, she took her thumb and gently pushed on Faith bud, causing Faith to let out a yell. She kept at her, pushing her till Faith just nearly blacked out. The pleasure was so intense, so…demanding…her brain felt like it was on fire. Buffy finally kissed her way back up Faith’s body, and took her in a total body embrace, her legs and arms wrapping Faith in a lover’s cocoon. They kissed, and kissed, and kissed again. Then, both sated and sleepy, they drifted off into sweet dreams.
~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~&~~
The scoobies all attended Faith’s graduation ceremony.
Of course, being a night class, it wasn’t elaborate like the kind you get for regular graduation. No bands, no fields. Just a bunch of students in caps and gowns, going up front in the auditorium to receive their diplomas. Faith kept cracking jokes about it, asking who the drunken blind man was who designed these things was, and about the rest of the ceremony and all, but she was clearly happy and pleased. When she was called up to get her diplomas, the scoobies all clapped and cheered. She blushed, and smiled, but gave them a look like she wanted to kill them. When Dr. Morgan handed her the diploma, Faith, instead of shaking her hand as per ritual, pulled her into a hug. Even the rather reserved Dr. Morgan was ….touched, and blushed a little, returning the hug briefly. Of course this brought even louder cheers from the scoobies, much to the chagrin of Faith. She was gonna so kill those guys…probably by hugging them to death.
A small graduation party was held at the Summer’s home on Revello drive after the ceremony. There was a cake that said “ Congrats, Faith” with a little figure in a cap and gown on it…it looks suspiciously like a bridegroom, but no one cared. Everyone was there… Anya and Xander, Tara and Willow, Giles and Joyce, and of course Buffy…grinning like SHE’D graduated. Everyone was having a great time, eating , chatting, and just enjoying being together.
Finally, someone hauled out a large elaborately wrapped gift. Faith was stunned. She hadn’t expected anything. But hell, she wasn’t going to turn it down, either. Grinning, she started tearing at the paper, resembling a five year old at Christmas. She opened the box, and inside was a brand new laptop computer. She was …overwhelmed.
“We all went in on it” Anya said. “Well, mostly Joyce and Giles, but we all helped”
“ So, what do you think?” Willow asked.” Since you’re a graduate now, we figure you’ll be going to college next year”
“Personally, I wanted to get you a book…something you can treasure” Giles said.” But they insisted on that infernal thing”
“ So, baby, what do you think?” Buffy asked. She could see Faith was really touched.
Faith…couldn’t deal. She wasn’t used to this. It was all too much for her. She looked around, saw all the smiling faces, and just lost it. She carefully put down the computer, then jumped up and ran out of the room. They heard her as she ran upstairs, and slammed the door to Buffy and her room shut.
“Well… that was rude” Anya piped up. Xander just gave her a look, and Anya blushed and looked away.
Joyce started to get up, but Buffy waved her down.
“ No, mom, I better go after her. I’m sure she’s ok” Buffy said…but wasn’t so sure” I….better go” She got up, and followed Faith upstairs.
Buffy found Faith upstairs in their room, She was all huddled up and crying. Her shoulders were shaking.
“Baby, what is it?” Buffy asked, really worried.
“ B, I…I… don’t deserve all t-t-this….I….” Faith stuttered out.” I…everyone’s been so…g-g-good to me…and all… and now this? I…” She couldn’t continue, the tears just kept coming. She wasn’t used to people doing things like this for her. Her emotions just got the better of her.
Buffy wrapped her arms around Faith, and gently said” Of course you deserve this, honey. You’ve worked real hard to get your diploma. Everyone is just so proud of you. They wanted to give you something that said that” Buffy pulled her closer, and laid Faith’s head on her shoulder.
At that moment a young girl, a little over 14 appears at the doorway. She has long brown chestnut colored hair, and a large smile… when she smiles. Right now, she’s smirking.
“ Buffy? Mom wants to know if you two plan on coming down sometime today?” the girl said, looking askance at the couple.
“Dawn? What are you doing in here? Go back down to the party. This is private!” Buffy growls at the girl.
“ What? Are you two gonna have sex or something now?” Dawn asks, being just a little snotty.
“ Dawn! “ Buffy gives her sister a dirty look. Dawn backs up a little. She knows Buffy can have a temper.
“ Dawn? Buffy? Faith? Are you coming down? We’re just about to cut the cake!”
Dawn and Buffy, both pissed at each other, call down in their loudest voice
“MOM!!!!!!”
