Buffy Question

[kerravonsen]

Quick question for you folk: working as I am on drabbles for tthdrabbles, I have a story idea, but I am missing some essential facts. To be precise, I need a scenario where one of the main characters (probably Buffy, Dawn, Xander or Anya) is babysitting an actual baby -- but I can't think of any suitable babies. Or toddlers. I suppose I could make one up, but it would make more sense if it was someone connected with the main characters.

Having just seen the entire 7 seasons in the past half-year - I really can't think of any baby sources! Xander's family does seem rather large - we never meet any cousins his age, I don't think, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. (There are lots of relatives at the wedding - were any of them young children?)

Dawn has that friend she gets in trouble with - maybe she sits regularly?

I think Oz's cousin Jordy was about 2 when he bit Oz. That's the only one I can think of.

I would have thought a friend of Buffy's mother would be the obvious candidate for kids. Or else Xander has an aunt visiting and is landed with a nephew.

My first thought? X-over with "The Incredibles." Baby Jack-Jack.

But that probably doesn't help you much.

No, I haven't been getting enough sleep. How can you tell? :-)

It's a little cross-pollination, but how about Angel's son Connor? It's conceivable that some of Buffy's crowd (most commonly Willow, although Buffy did go occaisionally) would have travelled to LA to look after him for a weekend/night while they were busy with something, in the few months that he was still with Angel before he was kidnapped into another dimension.

Problem is, I don't know enough about that; I stopped watching Angel after the first season.
