She glanced at the papers in front of her for what seemed like a millionth time and dropped her head on the table in defeat. She just couldn’t understand it. Her first thought was to call her colleagues, but she couldn’t, not if what she was seeing was real. A lab tech knocked on the glass door and she motioned to her to come in.
- Dr. Summers, I did tests again. I even double checked everything. The first test results were accurate.
Brown haired girl took a deep breath before answering.
- Lana, can you read this? I know you’re lab tech, but I also know you are struggling to get scholarship so you can finish college. Can you understand what you are seeing?
- Well, I know that this two DNAs are so much alike they must come from sisters because only sisters have so many same markers.
- That is right, but it’s not what I was aiming for. Look at this.
Dawn pulled yellow paper from underneath the pile and showed it to the other girl who took it.
- What am I looking at?
- Something that makes me think I’m completely crazy. Usually baby’s DNA has two codons. One from mother, and one from the father. Now, first of all, this two DNA’s have same parents. Both parents.
- Why does that surprise you?
- Because this DNA belongs to my niece Yuki, her mother Willow moved to Japan years ago and came back this month. Other DNA belongs to Jewel, Tara’s daughter.
Both women fell silent for a moment. From the first moment Dawn met Lana they clicked. Soon they became friends and Lana, far away from her home and her family found comfort in Dawn’s family. She played hockey with Jewel every Saturday since Buffy started working Saturdays and couldn’t make it anymore.
- Neither one of them adopted, right?
- Right.
- So, if they have codons from same parents, and Willow gave birth to Yuki, while Tara gave birth to Jewel, then it means that Jewel’s second parent is Willow? This is too advanced for me Dawn. Is this even possible?
- No.
- Then how do you explain it?
Dawn moved to the window. The dark was starting to fall on Sunnydale and she wanted to head home early. Her head was starting to ache and she still needed to meet Jed for a coffee. Sometimes she didn’t understand why was she seeing him. She really loved him. That was never a question. The thought of hurting him hurt her. She smiled when he smiled, cried when he cried, but still… something just wasn’t there. Maybe she looked at the relationships from the wrong point of view. After all relationships she was witnessing were gay. Buffy and Faith were crazy about each other. They always played tough in front of others but she caught them sometimes, when they thought no one was watching them and they would just look at each other with pure adoration, or hug for so long the almost became one. Sure they fought. They were both pig headed, but even when they fought it was never like when she fought with Jed. It was just more… natural. How strange, gay love seems more natural then straight love. But she still couldn’t describe it.
- Do you ever wonder if there were stories of two princesses or if knight was female, there would be more gay people?
- Huh? Where did that came from?
- I honestly don’t know. It just occurred to me, right now, that even if we are thought to be opened to homosexuals since we are children, we still hear stories about knights and princesses and that cuts itself deep in our mind so we can’t shake it. And even if we feel attracted to same gender we feel dirty and disgusted with ourselves. And all that because of some fairy tale crap. You know, nothing will change in the world until Cinderella meets princess charming. Nothing. How can you tell people that being gay isn’t something to be disgust with if you counter the knowledge they held close ever since they were little babies. It’ s all just same old crap.
- You know Dawn, someone might think you were gay.
With that Lana walked out and left Dawn alone by the window. For a moment she just looked at the Sunydale before picking up phone and dialling well known number.
- Hey Jed, look I can’t make it tonight. I have something important to do. And I’ ll probably be sleeping over at the old house, so… see you tomorrow and love you.
She hang up thankful for the answering machine, picked up the papers from the table and ran down the hall.
When she reached the stairs she carefully jumped from one to another feeling like a little kid, not some doctor. She reached the lab, two floors down and searched for the blacked haired girl. She found her buried in books. For a moment she just looked at the girl. Her shoulder length black hair was let loose and was constantly falling over her eyes, which Dawn knew were dark blue. Lana wasn’t gonna let her hair win so she tucked strands of wild hair behind her ear once again. Dawn didn’t know a lot about Lana. Except that she had some kind of an accident that made her forget who she was or were she came from. One of the doctors noticed she had sound knowledge in medicine so they gave her a job as a lab tech until she finishes college.
- Dawn?
Soft voice brought her out of her fantasy.
- Hey Lana, I was wondering if you would like to meet the other kid, Yuki. She’s something different.
- So is Jewel.
- Lets go.
Tara carefully entered the room. She was trying hard not to make too much noise. If Jewel decided to take afternoon brake and fall asleep willingly Tara didn’t want to play with luck and wake her up. For a moment she just watched her daughter sleep. If she closed her eyes she usually saw big house with even bigger back yard with swings and slide for Yuki and Jewel. Maybe even a pool for her and Willow. She was definitely warming up to the idea of having a family. She didn’t use to. Growing up wasn’t easy for her so she wanted to make it as easy as possible for Jewel. Things were going great even before Willow arrived. So ok, they were un orthodox family, but Jewel was always loved. Buffy took her shopping and ice skating whenever she could. Faith made sure that Jewel becomes sk8er buying her skateboard and appropriate cds. Dawn took her to all kind of museums and showed her labs both at hospital and at university. But bringing Jewel up with Willow and helping her to bring up Yuki sounded like the paradise.
Faith looked around and smiled knowingly.
- Red? You just have to see this.
- What?
Willow entered the room and gasped. Walls were painted in blue, along with the blue curtains and floor. In the middle of the room was a huge bed and when Faith jumped on it Willow realised it was water bed.
- Awesome. This is great Faith. How did you find this house? I mean, it has everything. Kitchen, dining room, basement, three bathrooms, living room, study, master bedroom, guestroom and two bedrooms in the attic! This house is a dream house.
- Dawn and I found it a while ago.
- A while ago?
- Yeah, when you phoned and said you were coming for a visit.
Willow jumped on a bed next to Faith and looked at her.
- How did you know I was gonna stay?
- Come on Will! I know you.
She shifted an lay on her back gazing at the light blue ceiling. Willow followed her example. They stayed that way for a moment before Willow decided to speak again.
- Do you know where they are?
Faith cursed under breath. She knew this conversation was coming ever since Willow phoned to say she was coming for a visit, but somehow, she just wasn’t ready for it.
- Mom’s on some conference on child psychology in Europe. She’s going to talk about how divorce and new marriage can effect children.
- She has experience.
Willow turned on her hip and waited for Faith to do the same. When she did Willow continued.
- If you don’t want to talk about it we don’t have to.
For a moment Faith wanted to reach out and hug Willow, but she couldn’t. Not now. She needed more time.
- Thank you.
She jumped of the bed and ran towards the door.
- Come on Red, you have to see back yard.
Willow did only thing she could- followed her.
