It was a beautiful sunny day in Sunnydale. The rays from the sun came
through the window giving the kitchen life and lots of light.

Willow smiled as her husband came behind her and wrapped his arms around
her.

She always felt so safe...So valued...So loved...When Willow was in his
arms.

"Morning, my love." Giles whispered as he nipped on her neck.

"Mmmm...Morning...What would you like for breakfast?"

"You."

"Rupert!...Hmmm...That actually sounds like a brilliant idea!" Willow
said turning around and wrapping her arms around Giles.

"I do come up with brilliant ideas once and awhile."

"That is not the only thing that comes up." Willow said with a twinkle in
her green eyes.

Giles looked at Willow with a sexy smile.

"What can I say? When I am near you...Holding you...Touching
you...Kissing you...Trust me, I don't need Viagra!"

"I know..." Willow whispered as she moved to put her lips onto Giles'
lips.

"Gosh! Do you guys have to do that all the time? Not all parents act like
that, you know." Alexandra said moving to the kitchen table.

Alexandra's little brother came down the stairs...Still looking as if he
should be back in bed. Which knowing him and how much mischief he could
and would get into...That was probably the best place for him to be...

Willow and Giles laughed...

"And a good morning to you, too." Giles said giving his daughter a smile.

"Morning Dad...I still think something is wrong with you two...You guys
are *always* kissing...And why is your door *always* locked...Wait! I
really don't want to know the answer to that one!"

"Maybe one day you will be lucky enough to know...With someone of your
own to love..Who will love you right back." Willow said with a secret
smile to her fourteen year old daughter.

"I just find it weird, that's all...I've looked at other parents and they
don't act like you two..."

William, Alexandra's brother just mumbled something that no one could
understand. Their William was not a morning person. No one was sure even
William knew what he was saying.

Willow went to give the kids their cereal bowls, spoons and placed it in
front of them. As Giles got out the milk and cereal.

Willow and Giles sat down to eat cereal with their children.

Alexandra sighed and said...

"I am so sick and tired of life!"

"WHAT!" Giles gasped at his beautiful daughter.

"Alexandra Buffy Giles!" Willow looked at her daughter in shock.

"Well, I am...Sick and tired of it. Life sucks!"

"No, it does not! Yes, Vampires aside...And...And demons aside...Okay,
and the many various monsters aside...Life is good. There's sunshine,
flowers, puppies..." Willow started to try to think of what else to say.

"There's friends and family...Yes, life can be hard...Can even be
heartbreaking...Full of pain and misery...But it is also  full of joy and
laughter..Life can have some wonderful happy moments..Life is not going
to be good all the time but it will not be bad all the time either."
Giles said reaching out and grabbing his daughter's hand.

Willow stood up, went to her daughter and hugged her daughter saying....

"You are someone, we love and value...You make life special.."

Alexandra looked up at her parents with a confused look on her face.

"Mom!?! Dad!?! I was talking about Life cereal...We seem to eat it
everyday!"

"Oh..." Willow and Giles said with relief written on their faces.

William looked up from his cereal bowl and exclaimed....

"I find life to be great!"

Everyone at the breakfast table started to laugh....
