The suspense last chapter was killing you people! HAHA! Calm down. Two chapters will be posted today…hopefully.

“So what happened next?”

“Well, I took her on a date.”

***

She looked at herself in the mirror for the umpteenth time. Her hair was straightened. She had on a red spaghetti strap tank top and her faded blue jeans. For some reason Spike had told her to wear jeans and not a dress. She was wondering what they were going to do. Buffy opened her door at exactly 8 o’clock. On the other side was Spike. He looked handsome. He was wearing blue jeans and a white wife beater under a black button up. He handed her a single red rose.

“Aww, thank you.” She said.

“Anything thing for you. Come on.”

“Where are we going?”

“You’ll see.”

***

They pulled up to the beach. Spike ran around the car and opened Buffy’s door. He took her hand and they walked down to the shore.

“Buffy, do you trust me?” Spike asked suddenly.

She took a moment to think “Yes.”

“Alright then. Follow me.” Spike led her to a cliff. When he began to climb it, she got worried.

“No way!”

“You said you trust me.” Spike held out his hand. She sighed and took it.

“Now I know why you made me wear jeans.” She said and he chuckled.

Together, they climbed until they reached the top. Buffy heard music and smelled something delicious. When she saw what was at the top she gasped.

At the top was a picnic set up for two. Soft music was playing. “Oh my gosh. Spike this is so sweet.”

“I’m glad you like it.” He poured her a glass of champagne.

After eating their meal, Spike held Buffy in his arms. Her back was to his chest. He whispered in her ear. “Did I tell you that you looked beautiful tonight?”

She giggled “Five times, but who’s counting.”

“I have a surprise for you.”

“What is it?”

Spike reached into his pocket for his cell phone. He dialed a number and said, “Do it.” He put the phone back in his pocket. “Buffy, this is for you.” He pointed into the sky. A few seconds later, fireworks appeared. Buffy put her hand over her mouth in total shock.

“Oh my god! How did you do this?”

“I have my ways. The best part is coming up.”

She watched the fireworks unravel. Then she saw the message. The fireworks said ‘ I LOVE YOU’ with hearts around it. She gasped at the beautiful sight and turned around to Spike. He smiled at her and said, “I love you, Buffy Summers.”

She gave him a kiss and said, “I love you too.”

“And that was our first date!” Spike said.

“Wow.” Emma said.

“Who was that person you called.” James asked.

“I called Uncle Xander. Him and Uncle Angel shot the fireworks.”

“Tell us about the time you asked Mommy to marry you!”

*** Christmas 1999

Buffy walked into Spike’s apartment. As soon as she walked in she noticed all the candles glowing. On the couch was Spike. He stood up and called her to sit down.

“Spike, what is all of this?” she said as she sat down.

“You’ll see.” When Spike got down on his knee, Buffy knew what was going on.

He took out the small box from his pocket. “Buffy Anne Summers, you are my everything. I love you more than anything else on this world. I would do anything for you. You are so beautiful, funny, intelligent, caring and kind. You are perfect. I am so grateful hat I found you. Without you I would be a bloody wreck. Of all my years there’s only one thing I’ve ever been sure of, you. When I say ‘I love you’, it’s not because I want you or because I have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love who you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen you kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You are a hell of a woman. You’re the one Buffy. Will you marry me?”

He opened the box and inside was a platinum band ring with a 2.00 carats center diamond and two 0.50 carats diamonds on the sides.

Buffy had tears running down her eyes. She smiled at the man in front of her and said, “Yes, I’ll marry you.” Spike slipped the ring on her finger and they shared a passionate kiss.

***


“So we got married and had you two!” Spike said.

Emma smiled at her father. He started to tickle her and she laughed out loud. Spike then noticed that his son fell asleep during the story. He signaled Emma to tickle him “On the count of three.” he whispered “One, two, three!” The pounced on the little boy and he immediately woke up! They laughed so hard that they started to tear.

Spike enjoyed every moment he had with his kids. During the week he worked his ass of to support his family. He knew what his kids were going through, growing up without a mom. Spike’s mother died when he was only ten. Life in England was hard. Murders everyday, violence, gangs. Spike wanted the best for his kids. Buffy’s case would always show up on the news and Spike would immediately turn the T.V off. He didn’t want to fell the pain.

When the phone rang, they all groaned. Spike went to pick I up.

“Hello?”

“Mr. Bradford?”

“Yes?”

“This is Detective McDonald. Sir, we found your wife.”

Yeah
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me

Kids, I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
When I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes; deep inside you want to cry
Cuz you're scared, I ain't there?
Daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
Daddy's here, no more nightmares
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
Emma daddy's crazy, aint he?
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
We're all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
A little beautiful girl
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
But things have gotten so bad between us
I don't know if we'll ever being together ever again
Like we used to be when we was teenagers
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

Now hush little babies, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty babies
But I promise momma's gon' be alright

Listen kids,
All I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing
Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like we're closer now
Wow, guess we pretty much are and daddy's still here
James I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah
It's got a ring to it don't it?
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise momma's gon' be alright

And if you ask me too
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
I'mma give you the world
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
I'mma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
I'mma break that birdies neck
I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)

I changed the song to relate to the story. It’s kinda of what’s Spike thinking when starts to play with the kids to when he gets the phone call. And I also decide to get to Buffy. Maybe if I get reviews, I could post another chapter today. I dunno, what to you think?
