Louise: “Faith…, please spares me the details… I don’t want to know…, but are you sure it is yours?”

Faith: “who else can be…, she is not sleeping with anybody else since a while ago, I’ll say more than one year, perhaps two”

Louise: “look, Faith, I don’t want to be a party pooper, but, have you talk to her; has she confirmed that the baby is yours?”

Faith: (nervous) “no, but she hasn’t denied…, Louise, why don’t you ask her?”

All the eyes were on Louise, the biochemist understood, Faith has that begging look on her face, she is probably right, the baby should be hers, but she still can’t believe it; Willow, Bette and Tina are also fearful that the father could be someone else, because they were on Faith’s corner during all her ’coming out’ process and they hope for Buffy to do the same if she is really pregnant carrying Faith’s baby; Louise didn’t say a word, she just walked inside the room where Callie was examining Buffy.

Louise: “hey Buffy, how are you feeling?”

Buffy: “I’m fine…, where is Faith?”

Louise: “she is outside, waiting, what happened to you, honey?”

Buffy: “I’m fine…”

Louise saw the fear in Buffy’s eyes.

Louise: “everything is going to be okay…, we all will take care of you”

Buffy: “NOOO…, Louise please don’t tell anybody”

Louise: “tell what, Buffy?”

Buffy: “I’m pregnant…”

Louise: “and you want Faith at your side, right?”

Buffy: “oh…, Louise…, what are we going to do…? I am pregnant from her…, how could that happened…?”

Louise: “well, the biological process is not very complicated, but the way you reached this situation is not conventional but is good”

Buffy: (sobbing) “oh, Louise…, those were the most wonderful moments in my life, having her inside me, but… how are we going to explain this…, the baby…, is the baby going to be fine…? What will we tell the baby when she or he grows up? There won’t be any father…, is the baby going to be normal?”

Louise: “calm down Buffy, everything will be fine…, we have been in your shoes before…, I mean many of the adults; look, I raised Tina with my wife, there was no father, the sperms came from my wife’s dead brother, he was her twin, and we weren’t the only ones; we have a very big population of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender; it is perfectly normal for raising a child by parents of the same sex, and the conception should be fine, we have already some couples conceiving babies in the same way you did”
