Rupert was getting a little impatient with how long this was taking. He wanted nothing more than to have this over with so he could take his girls home. He looked over the adoption document and then signed them with Fred. When it was announced that Charlie was now officially their daughter, Rupert grinned and hugged both his wife and oldest daughter.
"How about we head home?" he said before standing. He thanked Holly and Jacqueline, and picked up Andi's carrier. Charlie took one of Rupert's hand and then took one of Fred's as they walked out.
It didn't take them long to get back to their house. When they walked in, they were greeted by all their friends. Charlie bounced over to Willow to tell her what had happened and how she was officially a Giles. Lorne handed out punch and even Molly was part of the festivities, and was running around with a bright pink bow around her neck.
"I get to hold the baby first!" Buffy announced before Xander could get Andi out of her carrier. She bent down and carefully scooped the baby up and softly bounced her.
"I get to hold her next!" Dawn quickly said before Xander could get a word out. He made a face and went to stand by Martin, while Charlie continued to talk to Willow and Charlotte.
Sitting down on the sofa, Rupert tugged Fred down beside him and pulled him close. "At least we'll never have to worry about babysitters," he said with a chuckle. He softly kissed her and grinned. "I love you."
