As Spike reached the living room, he could hear
Buffy’s laughter.
“Hi Daddy” Spike’s youngest daughter,
Anya, said.
“Hello Bit, how was your day at school”
Spike asked?
“It was fine, I got an A on my history quiz”
Anya squealed!
“Great” Spike said as he turned his
attention to his eldest daughter.
“Oh Dad, can you help me my English
paper” Dawn asked sweetly?
“Sure thing Niblet” Spike assured her.
“Thanks Dad” Dawn answered.
“No problem” Spike replied.
Looking over to where his son, Connor, was standing,
Spike could tell that there was something wrong.
“You okay” Spike asked softly?
“Fine” Connor uttered.
“He got into a fight” Anya talked for him.
“Thank you big mouth” Connor yelled at
his sister.
“Well maybe if you would have answered
him I wouldn’t have to talk for you” Anya screamed!!!
“Shut your bloody mouth” Connor yelled
while using his dad’s words.
“Enough” Spike roared loud enough to
make all three of them jump.
“The three of you to your rooms NOW”
Buffy bellowed!
With not even another glance back the three made
their way to their rooms.
“I can’t believe they are acting this way,
they are supposed to love each other. Not only are they
siblings but friends. They act like they don’t want to be
around each other, hello they are triplets they need
each other” Buffy mouthed.
“I know pet, I know” Spike soothed.
“Oh well dinner will be ready soon, so can
you go talk to Connor and see what the fight was
about” Buffy asked sweetly?
“Anything for you luv” Spike smiled.
Standing up he couldn’t help but think of the first time
he ever saw Buffy.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
15 years ago.....
“Willow I don’t know, Riley was cute but he
was a little mean to me, especially when I wanted to
talk to another guy” Buffy expressed.
“I know that he was controlling, but I think
that was because he loved you so much” Willow said
in a matter-of-factly way.
“I just want someone who will love me but
let me be my own person” Buffy explained.
“I know you do sweetheart, but there are
not many nice, sweet, hot and funny guys left in
Sunnydale” Willow tried to comfort Buffy.
Buffy and Willow stood silent for a few minutes
thinking about what each other had just said. But there
thoughts were interrupted by a british voice.
“I know, yea I’m at the fair. No I didn’t know
that he was looking for me” Spike talked into his cell
phone.
Willow and Buffy both looked at each other as to
say “girlfriend” but they were shocked at what came
next.
“Yea I’ll be home in a little while and I’ll
make sure to go get faith on my way home. Yea I love
you too, Mum. Ok bye” Spike rattled on.
The two girls both were stunned, it was not often that
they found a guy that still told his mom that he loved
her.
As William walked by Buffy and Willow, he gave them a
big smile. Buffy felt her knees weaken at the sight of
his smile.
Buffy turned her attention to willow, who had a huge
smile plastered on her face.
“Wills, I have to find out who he is” Buffy
said bluntly.
Snapping out of her daze Willow looked over at Buffy.
“Did you hear me” Buffy asked?
“Yea I think I heard you, did you say that
you need to find out who he is” Willow asked swiftly?
“Yes I did” Buffy beamed.
“Well I think I know that tone, I think a little
stalking is in order, am I right” Willow asked
innocently?
“You know it” Buffy laughed!
With that the two girls walked towards Buffy’s house
hatch a plan.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After knocking a few times on the door, Connor finally
let him in.
“We need to talk” Spike said briskly.
“Dad I really don’t want to talk about what
happened at school today” Connor said as he sat
down on the bed.
“Well to bad, because we are talking about
it, now tell me about that nice shiner you’ve got there”
Spike stated.
“Alright” Connor sighed. “I was walking
from my French class when I heard someone call my
name. It was Lindsey, she just wanted to know if we
had any math homework last night. I told her that we
did and that if she needed any help with it I would be
glad to help her” Connor told.
“Right then, but that still doesn’t explain
your face” Spike was confused.
“Well if you would let me finish I was
getting to that part. Anyway, like I said I told her that I
would help her with her math. She told me that she did
need some help with her fractions. So I asked her if
she would like to sit with me at lunch and that way we
could work on her math. All during lunch we talked
about her math, she was finally starting to get the
hang of it when the bell rang. I said bye to her and
went to my locker then went to math class. When I
walked out of class there was a guy standing there
with not the nicest expression on his face. He hit me
because his girlfriend ate lunch with me, he thought
that she was cheating on him with me. Which she
wasn’t. And that is why my face looks like this” Connor
finally breathed.
‘Ok, I understand. After dinner we are
going to have to put something on that to get the
swelling to go down” Spike reassured him.
“Thanks Dad” Connor smiled.
“Don’t mention it, now let’s go eat your
mum is prob’ly worried” Spike laughed.
Making his way downstairs to the kitchen Spike
stopped to get his daughters to come downstairs to
eat. And after explaining to them that they weren't in
trouble they happily obliged.
After dinner was finished and the dishes were done,
they all went into the living room to watch a movie.
Anya picked “The wedding Singer”. They had just put
the movie in when that phone rang.
