Alone

Drabble for the prompt family, set in the buffyverse during season 4 post Hush. Meant to represent how detatched Giles was feeling, slightly more bleak than I had intended!

Giles lay in bed, worn out from a hard days training with Buffy and an even harder night patrolling. In this state of half-slumber just before falling asleep, Giles liked to think things over, assess just where he was in life. If he was honest Giles felt alone, the only woman to ever truly understand him had been killed three years ago and Olivia just couldn’t cope with his “interesting” lifestyle. Deep down he knew he’d never hear the patter of tiny feet, the only family he was going to have were the scoobies, and they were growing up… fast.

That's so sad, but it's just like Giles.
