Daddy Dearest

Sixteen years ago, William the Bloody (also known as Spike of Aurelius) and his mate Drusilla decided to enlarge their family. Spike chose a woman called Joyce as his childe, before changing her he decides to get to know her a little better and they create a child together. A baby girl by the name of Elizabeth. Spike decides to leave Joyce to the living and goes away with Dru, only coming back every so often to check on his daughter as she grows. What happens when Spike and Drusilla come back to America after three years to find that Elizabeth is now a vampire slayer. How will Buffy's watcher take the news that his slayer is the daughter of a most feared master vampire and also how are they all going to keep the council from finding out, especially when they send another watcher and slayer from England to investigate how Buffy is still alive after being killed by The Master. This is a different twist on the Spuffy relationship, it's a story of the love between a father and daughter. Nothing more.


Chapter 1


After being run out of Prague, Spike and Drusilla flee to Germany. Where, in mid 1997 Dru becomes ill.

Munich, Germany.

“Spike where are you.” Drusilla asks, the tone more ethereal than ever.

“I’m right here Kitten.” Spike answered his true love immediately, not wanting her to fear that she was once again alone. He walked quickly to her bed and slipped in between the sheets to let her feel the comfort of his body.

“I can’t see you.” Dru's voice clawed at his heart, the fear in it was almost too much for him. His once happy dark princess was growing weaker, only a third of the glorious demon she once was.

“Where almost there luv, rest now, for tomorrow we will see about getting you better. Your dark prince has found a man that will make you better.” He tells her, hoping against hope that what he said was true. He loved his mate and he missed their nightly excursions, he missed painting the town's that they past red, the deep crimson red of human blood.

“I feel so weak my Spike, Mummy needs you to promise one thing to her.” Drusilla turned to Spike, her eyes unseeing.

“Anything for you kitten.” Spike's lifeless heart lurched in his chest as his demon began growl it's fury at the possibility of loosing it's sire.

“If something happens to me, will you go to her? My grand-daughter will need you to take care of her too, Spike, promise me, promise that you'll to do as I ask.”

“Nothing is going to happen to you Princess, just wait and see, you'll get better. When you are strong enough to make the journey, I will take you for a visit. Sleep now, sweets and save your energy.” Spike placed a kiss on Dru's lips before he curled her up in his arms, holding her close. A short while after, knowing that she had her sweet William at her side, Drusilla fell into a restful sleep and Spike soon followed, knowing that she was safe in his arms for another day.

The next night.

“We found him, we found the doctor.” One of the minions yelled as he came into the disused factory where Spike and Drusilla were staying.

“Where?” Was all Spike could ask. If his heart had still worked it would have given a miss-beat at the hope that fled into his body, Dru would be all alright now.

“The other side of the city, he's set up shop in a warehouse.”

“Take me to him.” Spike demanded. Turning to another minion, he gave orders for Dru's care, “You stay with her, make sure she's never alone.” His growled words had the young vampire shaking and nodding his acquiescence.

Spike and the minion who had been charged with seeking out the doctor, left the the warehouse by the back exit. Taking no chances that a human could spot them as they climbed out the broken doorway.

“This way.”

After a bunch of twists and turns they arrived at the Demon Doctors hide out. Instructing his minion to guard the door as they came closer, Spike walked in without pause.

“Who are you and what do you want.” The Doctor asked, no tell belying the fact of the fear turning in his stomach.

“Name's Spike, my sire is really sick. I was told you could help.”

“Name's Raja, I will see what I can do but, you must do something for me first.” The Doctor watched to see if the master vampire took aversion to his order. The blond in front of him sighed impatiently but cocked an eyebrow all the same

“You must leave one of your minions to me, I need a few extra hands once in a while, consider it payment for services soon to be rendered.”

“Done, now come on.” Spike nodded, he'd thought that something like this would happen, no-one accepted cold hard cash any more, but the loss of a minion was easily remediable and nothing was too good for Dru. If it would, in the long run make her better.

Raja and the minion followed Spike out of the factory as he headed back to the warehouse where his beloved lay waiting in total darkness for her prince.

“Dru luv, the Doctor is here.” Spike took Dru's hand in a calming gesture, her blindness had made her jumpy with the loss of control it gave her.

“Oh Spike you came back.” Drusilla cooed, grabbing on to Spike's strong fingers.

“Always, now let the Doctor have a look at you.” Spike moved out of the way to give the Doctor some space.

Upon applying some potions to Drusilla, the doctor turned remorsefully to Spike, “I am sorry but I can’t help her, what ever is wrong with her is too great for me to cure. There is another Doctor who will be able to help you though. I know it is not much, but I have managed to take her blindness away, but as I said apart from this, there is nothing more I can do.”

“Where do I find him?” Spike asked, saddened that his Dru wouldn't be able to be cured by this man, but also grateful to him that he had given her back the use of her eyes.

“His name is Bacna and he is in Dublin, Ireland.” The doctor responded, relieved that the vampire didn't seem to want to kill him.

“We will leave tomorrow night. How much longer do you think she will have if we can’t get her cured?” Spike asked, it was a question he really didn't want the answer to, but he asked it all the same .

“I would say 2 years tops.”

“Thank you.” Spike said as he saw the Doctor out. Turning to his men he gave orders to pack up for the move. “ Tomorrow we leave for Ireland. Get everything ready, we'll start at dusk” With that he walked back to the room where Drusilla laid unmoving.

“Oh Spike I can see again.” Dru said in greeting as she heard Spike return to her.

“That’s great luv, it’s a start, isn’t it.” Spike replied hoping that with her sight returned she would start fighting the illness again.

“Yes it is and tomorrow we shall go off to find this other Doctor and he shall make me better.”

“That he will, that he will.” Spike said whilst kissing the top of her head. “Get some sleep, luv.”

After he was sure that Dru was asleep he headed out to get himself something to eat. Once back in the Warehouse, he himself started to pack up his and Dru’s things. Then with that finished and with a long night's journey ahead of him he too went to sleep.

Late the next day, an hour before dusk, Spike lined up the minions.

“Alright I will be leaving tonight with some of you and will be leaving the other half to stay here and run things while I am away.” He told them.

“When will you be back?” One of them asked.

“I don’t know, right now I am only interested in getting Dru better and I also promised her a trip to see Elizabeth. I will contact you, to give you forward information in case you hear from Joyce or Elizabeth.” Spike tells them.

“Who is going and who is staying?” another of the minions inquired.

“I will take four of my best minions and leave the others here. I do believe you know who you are so I don’t need to name names do I?” Spike started to walk away before turning slightly and adding over his shoulder, “Be ready in an hour.”

One hour later, they started out on their three day journey to Dublin.

Finally making it there in the dead of night, Spike sent two of his people to find an abandoned warehouse that they could hole up in. Within hours they were safe and dry in an old building situated at the heart of an industrial area that had lain silent and unused for years.

“Alright, tonight we get settled and tomorrow we start searching for the Doctor.” Spike instructed, all the while keeping an eye on Drusilla.

Days past by with no luck, then on the eve of the tenth day, one of the minions came running back into the Warehouse, shouting all the while for his master, “Sir, master Spike, Sir, we found him!”

“About Bloody time.” Spike growled, his patience was about worn through. “Bring him to me.”

The minion ran out, returning half an hour later with the Doctor in tow.

Spike had been pacing around the front of the warehouse waiting for them to appear. Only stopping when he had the Doctor in front of him. “Name's Spike and you are going to help me get my sire better.” Spike's voice brooked no argument.

The Doctor nodded, knowing that he better help the demanding Master Vampire, to his mind, it was the only way he was going to get out of the place alive.

Following Spike into the room where Drusilla lay prone and unmoving, he looked to the male vampire for permission to touch the very sick woman who was on the bed. When Spike nodded in acquiescence, the Doctor took in a deep breath before examining the dark beauty. Seeing the mark on Drusilla's neck, he turns towards Spike. “You’re from the order of Aurelius aren’t you?”

“Yes...” Spike replied, “Why?”

“I can give her something to help take the pain away, but she needs the Hellmouth, there is a powerful one in Sunnydale, California. It is the only way to restore her strength.”

“What do you need to help her?” Spike wearily asked the Doctor.

“To be alone with her for an hour or so. Go out and get yourself something to eat and bring her back something as well.”

“I’ll give you an hour, then I will be back.” Spike replied before leaving the bedroom.

After he was sure Spike was gone Bacna started chanting, his words and the mystical medicines he used surrounded Drusilla and within a matter of minutes they started to cure her of her pain. An hour later Spike returned, sated with a good feed and looking optimistic. Carrying out the orders that the good Doctor had given him, he brought Dru a live body for her to dine on.

Walking back into his room, he was greeted by a cheerful Drusilla. “Look Spike I can walk again, I can eat too.” She said, showing her childe and lover that what she said was true by bringing out her game face and attacking the neck of the girl, who Spike had brought for her to feast upon.

“That’s great Princess. I’ll see the good Doctor out and then we can eat together.” Spike happily told her, he hurriedly sent the Doctor on his way before dotingly looking on as his sire drained the human dry.

“Can we see Elizabeth while were in America, Spike?” Dru asked when she had licked the last drop from her lips.

“Yes Kitten. we can go and see her. I believe she is living in or around Sunnydale. I will check the last address we got from Joyce.”

“I miss seeing her, it has been almost 3 years now. You should redo her protection claim.” Dru told him, she was worried that her Elizabeth would be eaten, she was such a beautiful child, and that would appeal to every vampire out there, male or female.

“I know, when I see her again I will, but it doesn't seem like we have to worry too much about her... there is a Slayer I hear, in Sunnydale. She would likely keep the population of our kind down to a minimum.”

“Kill her Spike, kill the Slayer for me.”

“I’ll try Kitten, now get some sleep, tomorrow we set off to the other side of the world.” Spike informed her, he himself happy with the turn of events. With the trip to the U.S.A. He would have the chance to see his daughter for the first time in three years.

Chapter 2

“Welcome home Honey!” Joyce asked her daughter as her ex-husband Hank straggled after Buffy. She always missed her daughter dearly when she went away to spend summer vacation with her father. “Did you have a a good time?”

“Please Mom, I don't want to talk about it. I just want to go out and see Willow and Xander right now, can we catch up later?” Buffy replied, a whole world of distress in her voice.

“Sure Honey, you go on and see your friends.” Joyce answered, something was wrong with a usually happy daughter and she had a feeling it had to do with the man who was struggling with the teenagers luggage by the front door. “I can talk to your dad and find out what you got up to anyway, you can fill me in on anything else when you get back in.”

“Mom!” Buffy snapped out, sneering in her mother's direction, “Stop calling him that, he’s not my Dad, and don't we all just know it.” With her blunt tirade over, Buffy left the house without a bye your leave.

Following Hank as he carried Buffy’s bags into her daughters bedroom, Joyce stood watching him for a moment, trying to get the right words to ask him what had gone on in the weeks since he had picked Buffy up. “Did something happen in LA that I should know about?”

“You might say.” Hank replied, sighing as he put the heavy bags down. “I can’t do it anymore, Joyce,” He spoke steadily, as though if he did, the words wouldn't hurt the woman who stood in the doorway, any more than slightly. “It’s hard enough knowing that Vampires are real, let alone that she is the daughter of one.”

“What did you do Hank?” Joyce anger boiled slowly, concern for her daughters state of mind took precedence over how Hank might feel. If he's hurt my baby...

“I told her I would not be able to see her again, that I have put up with what she was for years and I just can’t do it anymore.” Joyce looked at the man she had married and then years later divorced, His face was marked with resolve.

“I think there is more to it than that, Hank. I know she is not your Daughter and I know that I never even asked you to adopt her, but you always treated her like one, now tell me what's happened to make you change.” She was disgusted by his about face, she couldn't even begin to think how this was going to effect her daughter.

“Donna’s pregnant, Joyce. I am finally able to get something that you couldn’t give me, a real family.” Hank spat out, in one sentence degrading everything he had done for her and Buffy in the last sixteen years.

“Don’t insult my intelligence, you walked in to our relationship with your eyes wide open. I explained to you before we married that I couldn't have any more children due to complications of Buffy's birth.” Joyce felt any small amount of respect that she had left over toward her ex-husband vanish.

“I’m sorry Joyce.” Hank sounded weary but adamant, he was finished with the whole debacle. His own life awaited and with thought of his own progeny soon to be of this world, he felt right in sweeping all the strange and wrong history under the mat. He was going to have his own child, he didn't need Buffy as a stand in anymore, he didn't have to be apart of an insane and truly wrong way of life. He could have, as of now, a normal and safe family, with no vampire butting in and no vampire child that he had to deal with.

“Well then, I think it's safe to say that there isn't any point in you ever coming back here is there? All I have left to say is goodbye and that I don't ever want to see your face ever again. Now get out of my house, you make me sick to my stomach just looking at you!” With that Joyce moved to the door, hand clenching at the handle, she was scared that if he didn't go soon, she'd show him that Buffy's temper came partially from her, not just the vampire who was her real father.

Hank nodded. He had said what he had come to say, his conscience was clear, “Good bye Joyce.” He added, just before walking out of her house, and her life for the last time.

Walking down Main Street Sunnydale, Buffy was lost in thought as she looked for her friends. Her alert, though dulled by her wandering mind kicked in as the day gave up it's protection to the oncoming dusk and her ruminations were interrupted by a fledgling vampire. He looked as though he was no older than a week, in the enclosing darkness his fangs glinted as he jumped at her with no grace, his attack sloppy and no strength behind it. His brown eyes taking on the roundness of surprise that his seemingly easy kill had placed a stake happily between his ribs. Buffy dusted herself off, grumbling about how she could never get two moments to herself let alone two hours. Hearing the fall of fast paced footsteps Buffy's body took a fighting stance, ready for any other vamp that decided that today was the day that they were going to die. She had plenty of anger and frustration to go round for every one of the bastards if they wanted it. Her shoulders relaxed as she saw the very two people she was looking for race around the corner.


“Hi Buffy, welcome back, how was you summer and when did you get back?” Willow asked, halfway to hyperventilating.

“Ok, first you really need to breathe Willow, and to answer you questions...My summer was shit and I just got back. I had to get out of the house while he was there, So I took off, left him to 'talking' to mom, I just had to come and see you guys, you know, get some clear air, paste a few vamps and catch up on all the summer gossip!”

“Look on the bright side at least your parents argue on who takes the best care of you and not who drank the last beer.” Xander slightly jealous quipped back.

“He’s not my father.” Buffy sighed and muttered, rubbing Xander on the arm in sympathy, she may have an absent father, but at least she had her mother. Xander on the other had had two parents who were for all intents and purposes absent whilst being in the same house.

“Don’t say that Buffy, you’re just angry at him right now.” Willow reproached her best friend, unknowing of Buffy's real parentage.

“No really, he's not! My mom met Hank when I was about one month old. Oh don't get me wrong, he's been a good replacement father, that is 'til now... Donna's pregnant, and the arsehole wants out of being a father figure to me... he says he can't take the stress of my life anymore. The thing is, I know me being the slayer has got nothing to do with him leaving me, he's getting his perfect little family, and I so don't fit into his happy little picture. I just don't figure into his responsibilities any longer. I haven’t seen my real father since about a month before I was called. He's off taking care of my grandmother, she's sick, I mean really sick, like dying sick. She needs him with her all the time so we stay in touch by letter and all, but sometimes I wish he'd be able to come and see me.”

Buffy hated lying to her friends, but she just didn't know how they would take the fact that not alone was she the slayer, which thank God they had accepted readily, well, it wasn't really hard for them being that they lived on a Hellmouth all there lives, but she didn't think that they would go, 'Gee Buffy you're half vampire? That's so cool!' To being told that she had a vampire for a father, even if he was the best dad in the entire world, the undead one included. So this was the story that she and Joyce had concocted if the truth about Hank ever came to pass and any one asked about her real father. It was the truth. Well, mainly.

Both Willow and Xander looked at their friend, shock written all over their faces.

“Guys its really not that bad, and at least I don’t have to pretend anymore and same with Hank. Really, I think we're all relieved that it's all come to an end.” Buffy responded as both Xander and Willow's blank expressions.

“So Hanks, Hank and your Dad is... Dad now.” Willow asked in total confusion at what she has just heard, trying to clarify it to herself more than anyone else.

“Hanks has always been Hank, unless I was talking about him with friends or if we were in a public place, and My Dad has always been Dad it's what I have always called him, never wanted to call him anything different, It's just gets confusing for people around me who don't know, especially when no-ones met him, and he's rarely around anyway.” Buffy informed them, trying to get them to understand, get her friends to not think she hadn't trust them. She did, but just not with the whole truth.

“ I really don’t want to talk about all of this now, I just want to spend some time with you guys... can we please change the subject?”

Willow and Xander just looked at each other before shrugging, sure that they would get more about the strange twist to Buffy's life and it would all become clear later, and looking at Buffy, they thought it might be much later. They both decided to not push, their friend seemed a little distraught with it all and, good friends that they were, they left it... for now.

“Sure Buffy whatever you want... So you ready for school to start tomorrow?” Willow asked, knowing that school, was a definite safe conversation starter.

“As ready as I'll ever be. Just two more years to go, thank God!”

Xander chuckled then agreed, Buffy's sentiments were his, exactly.“So are we Bronzing tomorrow night.” He asked, happy that there group was now back to full capacity.

“Sure. I know I'll need it.” Buffy knew that a night out dancing at the Bronze was indeed what she needed, a few hours to relax and just be a normal girl, was entirely what she deserved.

The three friends continued to walk for a few minutes, wandering aimlessly and chatting all the while. Buffy savoured being back home, her friends at her side, their familiar voices washing over her and calming all of her fears. She was back home, back where she was loved. She saw both Willow and Xander home before returning to Revello Drive.

Walking into her house, Buffy heard her mother call out. “You received a letter from you Father a few days ago, I put it on your desk in you room.”

“'K, thanks Mom. I’m gonna go take a shower, I'll read it when I get out.” Excitement beat quickly in her chest, she savoured the anticipation of his words as she rushed up the stairs.

“Did you want to talk about what Hank said, at all?” Joyce called to her daughters fast retreating form.

“Mom, please don’t shout. You know my ears a sensitive, I can her you anywhere in this house as it is.” Buffy looked pointedly at he mother before continuing, “Even when you and Giles are whispering about me.”

“Yes, of course, I'm sorry honey. I tend to forget that you are part Vampire, you're just so normal most of the time.” Joyce blushed, she really did forget about her daughters spectacular range in hearing, It looked like she and Giles best go out into the backyard if they wanted to discuss Buffy with each other from this time on.

“Vamps have some normal tendencies, but I don’t call having fangs and the slight lust for blood every now and again normal.” Joyce hears her daughter snort as she wandered away from the top of the stairs, heading at her guess, for her sanctuary.

“Yes I know, that's one of the reason's why I fell in love with your Father in the first place.” Buffy rolled her eyes at her mother as she walked in to her room.“I’m going to get ready for bed now, I'm going to go see Giles before school starts tomorrow, so I've got to get up early.”

“Alright, I'll see you in the morning then, Honey.” Joyce shook her heard as she turned back in the kitchen to finish some work that she had brought home from the gallery.

Once back in her room after taking the shortest shower known to man, Buffy dressed then flopped on to her bed. Opening the envelope, she breathed in the scent that always clung to her father, knowing that, that would never change was comforting. She knew that her dad would never stop smoking or drinking and the unique smell of soft leather would never dissipate. They, along with the underlying tones of aftershave and blood were all that her father was. All that he loved. Buffy turned the envelope over to see the return address, curious to learn where her Father was now. Just when she had started to take the letter out, Buffy heard a knock at her window, she looked mournfully at the at the unread page, before sighing. Her father's words would have to wait a little while longer. Putting the letter in her drawer, Buffy walked to the window to let Angel in.

“Hey, how was your summer.” Angel smiled as he towered over her.

“Don’t ask, I haven’t had a worse one since I found out what I am.” Buffy replied, she never usually minded his night visits to her bedroom, but she really wanted to read her letter.

Thinking she was talking about being a Slayer, he gave her a reply. “You know being a Slayer isn’t a what, it's a who. You are the one that makes the slayer Buffy, not the other way around.”

“Do you say that about being a Vampire as well?” Buffy asked, curious to see what Angel's answer would be.

“It harder for a Vampire, some are better at it than I am. You’re forgetting that I was one of the most feared Vampires known in history.” Angel answered, a slight flicker of smugness gleamed in his soulful brown eyes.

Yeah, and my father is one of the others Buffy thought, for some reason she wanted to slap the smug look that had appeared in Angel. It really shouldn't of been there in the first place, he'd always seemed to be remorseful about his past.

“I know exactly who I am. Don’t forget I faced the Master and lived. Ok I only lived because Xander gave me CPR. Why was it him and not you? Anyways.” It was a question that she had wanted to ask in an age, but had not wanted to put Angel on the spot to answer it.

“Vampires don’t breathe.” To him, his explanation was simple enough.

“Oh? But, I have seen some that do when I'm fighting them.” Buffy argued, thinking of her father.

“Alright, we don’t need to breathe.” He answered, knowing that she was thinking of Spike.

“ It’s late, was there something you wanted or just a social call, because if there isn't anything else I'd really like to go to bed. It's been a long hard day and I would really like to go to sleep.” Buffy felt a niggle of guilt as she faked a yawn.

“Was social. Sorry, I just wanted to see how you were, I’ll get out of you hair now.” Angel replied, making his way back to the window to climb out.

After he left, Buffy shut the window firmly and flicked the lock into place, before taking the letter back out to read.

My Dearest Elizabeth,

Hello, Princess, how are you? I know you don’t want to be called Elizabeth anymore but, to me you will always be Elizabeth. I am writing to tell you that I am still looking to make your Grandmother better. I know, I am sorry I haven’t been able to see you for a while. I miss you Sweetheart. I really do. By now I am sure you have had your first kiss and your first boyfriend. You just better be still a Virgin. You know I am a protective father, even if I am not around. I don’t know when I will be seeing you again, but I have been sent to a spot in America for your Grandmother to see a Doctor.. After I am done there I will stop off and see you for a while, maybe if your Grandmother is well enough, I will think about settling down around where you live. I will just have to watch out for the Slayer, I hear there is a new one in California, she's apparently only been one for about two and a half years. Don’t worry none Pet, a new slayer like that will be still fairly weak. Well I better go now; it’s going to take about a month to get to the USA. I will contact you once I am there.

With all my love,
Dad,

Buffy put the letter away where she kept all her others her Dad had sent her since she learned that Hank isn’t her real father. Stowing the wooden box back under her bed she went to sleep knowing that soon, she would see her true father again, and that he really didn't have to worry about the young slayer because, she was that self same slayer.

2 Weeks later

While Patrolling with Buffy, Angel felt a familiar presence. "It’s getting late, maybe we should call it a night."

"Yeah it seems like a slow night. So I’ll see you tomorrow at the Bronze?" Buffy asked before heading home.

"Let me walk with you." He didn´t want to alert her to the danger, but he couldn´t get his mind off what he had felt earlier on.

After walking her to her door, Angel headed over to the school library where he knew Giles still was working.

As Giles heard the the door to the library open, he said out loud. "So how did Patrol go tonight, Buffy?"

"I just brought her home. I need to talk to you about something important."

"Ah it´s you. What is it then?"

"We might have a problem." Angel informed him.

"And what would that be?" Giles asked.

"I think William the Bloody is here. In Sunnydale."

"William the Bloody you say…isn’t he a member of the Order of Aurelius, just like you? In fact, isn’t he known as the second most feared vampire in history?" Giles asked.

"Yes, I taught him everything, I even taught him about Slayers and since then his obsession with them hasn’t changed. If he is in Sunnydale, he most likely has Drusilla with him as well. And he is most likely a master vampire now."

"Oh Dear Lord." Giles gasped.

"It gets worse and it has to do with Buffy."

"And that would be?" .

"When Buffy first came to Sunnydale, she had been bitten already by a master vampire. It’s actually some kind of claim, it works like a protection or something."

"Oh Dear Lord, I have never even noticed a bite mark on her."

"Well it is there and it´s William the Bloody’s bite mark. But what I don’t know is if Buffy knows how she got it. When I tried to talk to her about it she wouldn´t answer. At least the bite hasn’t been renewed since The Master killed her. But I happen to know that Spike has been in Europe for about 2.5 years, he was last in the USA 3 years ago."

Giles used a rag to clean his glasses "I guess I´m going to have to try and talk to Buffy about this."

"Do you want me to be there?"

"No if she won’t tell you, you better to not be here when I question her."

"I understand. I´ll talk to you tomorrow then." Angel said and turned to leave.

Giles at down at the table after Angel had left, lost in thoughts. *My Slayer has some kind of bite and I have never even noticed. If it is from William the Bloody…when was it put there and why? What will he do when he finds out she is the Slayer. Oh Dear Lord, this is just too much.* Getting up from the table Giles grabbed this stuff and left the library.

The next morning

During the second period there was a knock on the door and the teacher was handed a note. "Buffy Summers, you are wanted in the principal’s office right away."

"Oh God, what did I do now?"

"Good luck." Willow whispered.

"Luck? I need a miracle." Buffy answered while walking out of the classroom.

________________________________________________________________


Snyder´s office

"Please sit down Miss Summers. As you probably are wondering why you have been called here, let me enlighten you. Parent-teacher night is only a few days away, and you Sheila are going to be organizing it. Whoever does the least work, I have a very nice reward for. Expulsion. Thank you for coming. Now please get back to class."


Buffy´s decided to visit Giles on her way back to class.

"Giles." She called out upon entering the library.

"Buffy what is it? Don’t you have class now?"

"Principal Snyder called me to his office and gave me the job to organize Parent-teacher night, so I´ll be an hour late for training for the rest of the week. I hope it is ok because if I don’t do it, it´s adios Buffy."

"Its fine, Buffy. Though I do have something that Angel brought to my attention last night that I need to talk to you about tonight, before or after we train."

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing much." He said trying to get a look at her neck without her noticing.

"I better get back to class." Buffy said turning to leave.

"Yes my dear, that would be quite a good idea. I´ll see you tonight."

_________________________________________________________________

At Lunch

"So what did Mr. Troll have in store for you this time?" Xander asked with a huff.

"Parent-teacher night."

"Oh, so you are the one stuck with that fun chore this year."

"He always picks the people he hates the most and then threatens them with something. What did he threaten with this year?" Willow asked.

"Expulsion."

"Ouch!" Xander exclaimed.

Just then the bell rang

"We better get to class." Willow said in a hurried voice.

That afternoon, after trying to organize parent-teacher night, Buffy went to the library for her training.

"Ah Buffy you’re here. Very good."

"Yes, I’m here. We can begin."

"Very well. It has come to my attention that a very dangerous vampire by the name of Spike has somehow put a claim on you. In fact Angel says you have worn it ever since you came to Sunnydale."

"And how would Angel know that?"

"Well you see, Angel made Drusilla who made William the Bloody. Angel told me it is a family bite, as he can tell by the way it was sealed. Have you ever met this Spike fellow before, Buffy? Please be honest with me."

"I’ve met a lot of vampires since I was called, so I might have met him." She says hoping it will satisfy Giles because she doesn’t want to get into the whole my-father-is-a-very-dangerous-vampire thingy.

"Other than the Master, has anyone else ever bitten you."

*Make up a lie…I can’t tell Giles yet, he and the Council would freak.* "One night when I was patrolling in LA I got jumped by a vampire. He managed to get his teeth into my neck, but as he clamped down he impaled himself on my stake that was stuck between us."

"What did he look like?"

"What’s with the third degree?"

"Angel thinks Spike might be in Sunnydale."

"Oh ok." She said while secretly cheering, because if Angel is right, she would soon get to see her Father. "The one that bit me had brown hair, yellow eyes, and wasn´t much taller than me. And oh, wore an awful flashy orange suit. Really, some vamps need to learn how to dress." She says before thinking to herself. * there, I just gave him a totally bad description of a vamp I staked two nights ago.* "I need to go. Mom´s making supper and then I have to patrol."

"Very well. See you tomorrow."

As Buffy left the library, Angel made his way out of the stacks.

"She is hiding something." Angel said.

"I think so too. We´ll have to keep and eye on her. Eventually she will have to tell someone."

"By the way, that description she gave matches a vamp she staked two nights ago.”

Crawford Mansion


"You better go meet the others at the factory. They really don’t trust you." Dru told Spike.

"I know, princess. That is why tomorrow I am going to kill the Slayer. It has been brought to my attention that she will be holed up in school for parents-teacher night. Just so happens I have a Daughter that would go there."

"Good plan."

"After I kill this Slayer, I will be the new Master."

"Kill, kill, kill, for mummy Spike."

"Oh I will." He said, picking her up and carrying her to off bed while kissing her.
 

Chapter 4
 
2 days before parent-teacher night.

 
"Can we talk for a minute?" Joyce asked Buffy as she came home after patrol.
 
"Sure. What about, mom?"
 
"I received this in the mail today” Joyce asked, holding up a flyer for parent-teacher night."were you ever going to tell me?"
 
"I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. I was put in charge of doing the refreshments for this thingy, and all along I have to slay and try to maintain a normal life. I have no idea how I have managed this long." Buffy ranted as she started to pace back and forth in the kitchen.
 
"You always were so much like your father. He would be very proud of what you have become."
 
"I know, not sure what he would think about me being a slayer though. To make it worse, Angel is getting Giles to lecture me on Spike a.k.a William the Bloody. Every time, all I wanna to is yell at him to shut up and stop talking about Spike like he knows him."
 
"I know it’s hard, but I would imagine that Mr. Giles is simply doing his job."
 
I know, I know. I´m going to bed now, okay?"
 
"See you in the morning, honey."
 
"Night Mom." Buffy sighed, walking up the stairs to her room.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

The following night,during patrol.


"Angel, I didn’t expect to see you tonight."

"Until I figure out if Spike is really here or not, I plan on staying close to you."

"What is so different about this vampire? Why is he different from all the others?" Buffy asked.

"He’s killed slayers before, Buffy. You might not to care, but I´m sure your mom and your dad Hank, as well as Giles and your friends does."
 
"Hank´s not my father."
 
"Is this because you´ve had a fight with him or something?" Angel asked.
 
"Nope, always been that way. I was already born when mom met him. God, why am I telling you this, it’s not as if you are ever going to meet my real father." Unless I decide to tell you who he is and to let you in on the fact that you already know him. She added in her mind.
 
"No, I guess not. Can we get back to talking about Spike now?"
 
"Sure why not, everyone seems to want to warn me about him. Giles is saying that I´ve met him before, but can’t even tell me what he looks like, so I can say if I have or not." Buffy was yelling now.
 
"Fine! You want to know what Spike looks like and how Giles got so hung up on that, Buffy? Do you really want to know?" Angel yelled right back to her.
 
"Yes I do." Buffy yelled, clearly upset with Angel by now.
 
"Giles got the idea from me.I know that you have a mark on you from before you came to Sunnydale; I also know for a fact that Spike put it there. You see, It´s signed with the letter A and his place in the Order. The question is why you have it. I know what you told Giles in the library and we both know that you lied to him."
 
"You don’t know me." Buffy said while trying to calm down.
 
"I know you better than you think. Who you don’t know is Spike. You might have met him before but that would have been before you were called. Spike is gung ho on killing slayers and he won´t stop until you are dead."
 
"You know what, I am going home Angel. It’s been a long day and I could really use some sleep, I also have homework to do." Buffy said as she turned to leave and under her breath added "No, Angel. You really don’t know me."
 
Angel stood rooted for a minute, trying to figure out what just had happened, before he left to continue his search.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

The library on the night of the parent-teacher meeting

 
"So if this Spike-guy is in town, like Angel says, and is as bad a he says, why are we not running?" Xander asked.
 
"Slayers don’t run." Giles stated dryly.
 
"I really don’t believe he is as bad as Angel says." Buffy answered, knowing she had nothing to fear from Spike.
 
"The books. They say he´s killed two slayers in the past." Willow stated.
 
"Yeah, and how many years ago was that again? Like a zillion?" Buffy exclaimed. "People change. He might not even kill slayers anymore."
 
"If there going to kill Buffy, this Saturday why does she need so many stakes anyways?" Cordelia asks
 
"Thanks Cordy. Oh, I got to go. Parent-teacher night´s starting. Time to make punch." Buffy said, leaving the library.
 
________________________________________________________________________________________

Later that night.

 
"Angel. What can I help you with." Giles asked.
 
"I have learned from a reliable source that Spike really is in Sunnydale. He is going to lead the Feast of Saint Vigeous on Saturday."
 
"Dear lord, we have to figure out how to convince Buffy that he really is a threath."
 
"What if she doesn’t believe me." Angel asked in a worried tone of voice.
__________________________________________________________________________________

 
Sunnydale High

At that precise moment, Spike and a at least six other vampires, crashed through the school windows. "Block the exits. No one gets out. And bring the girl to me."

Not recognising Spike, Buffy grabbed her mother´s arm and retreated with the parents and the principal to a classroom across from the library.

"Were those vampires?" Joyce whispered.
 
"Yes. Now, don’t let anyone leave this room."
 
"What are you going to do?"
 
"My job." Buffy said, climbing up the ceiling vent.
 
"Be careful."
 
"Will do." She said as she closed the vent behind her and crawled in the direction of the library.
 
"Where do you think you are going?" Jenny asked Giles in the library.

"To investigate the loud crash, my sources say it was a Vampire gang, most likely this Spike guy." Guys answers his girlfriend who had come and was helping him research Spike.
 
"I can’t leave her to face them alone. If Spike is with them, he could kill her."
 
"I don’t really think he will if he has put a claim on her, at least not yet." Angel said.
 
Just then Buffy jumped out of the ceiling vent. "There are at least five out in the hallway; I didn’t get a good look at the leader though. I’m going to take him out with the element of surprise. Giles, get my mom and the others out. Angel, go try to talk them down /who down?/, do what you have to." Buffy said before climbing back into the vent.
 
"Spike." One of the vampires shouted.
 
"What?"
 
"Listen."
 
"Someone’s in the ceiling, here kitty, kitty."
 
Angel grabbed Xander, who was still making stakes for Saturday, as he walked out of the library "Spike." He called out.
 
"Angelus."
 
"Haven´t I taught you anything?"
 
"You have. But I´m working with idiots."
 
"Care for a bite, before we go and get the slayer." Angel offered, glaring menacingly at Xander´s neck.
 
"Now you’re speaking my language." Spike said, right before he punched Angel in the face.
 
Stealthy, Buffy jumped down behind Spike, using her inner vampire to make as litle sound as possible. Slowly she walked nearer and nearer. When she was close enough, she decided to make her present known. "Do we really need weapons for this?"
 
Spike turned slowly, and as he caught sight of her, he leered "They make me feel all manly." Slowly he ran a hand down his front.
 
Buffy let out a gasp as she recognised who was standing before her. "William."
 
Looking back at her with a gleam in his eyes, he responded. "Elizabeth."

Daddy Dearest


AN: ~mean that they are communicating within there minds.


Chapter 5


Buffy let out a gasp as she recognised who was standing before her. "William."


Looking back at her with a gleam in his eyes, he responded. "Elizabeth."


Before he had a chance to say anything else to her, she asked him using the telepathic link they shared. “~Dad, is it really you? ~”


Answering back also in his mind, understanding she didn‘t want them to know yet, he said. “~Yes Sweetheart it is Me. ~”


“~Okay, I can’t have them finding out yet, that you’re my father, I hope you Understand? ~”


“~Alright, we can keep this just between us, but I think they are suspecting something since you kind of have this spaced out look while talking to me.~” He told her, while also teasing her a bit.


“~Right then, we better get back to everyone, oh and we might have to play fight. ~” She told him, trying to hide the smile, from her friends and also using one of Spikes many sayings.


With a smile of his own, he answered back. “~be honoured. ~”


Just then Angel growled at Spike. “Get away from her.”


“It’s a free Country, if she doesn’t want me near her she can move.” Spike informed Angel all the while taking a step back.


Then Giles and the rest of her friends ran in from where they were in the halls and up to were Angel and Xander are standing, ready to help Buffy with the dusting of Spike.


Spike turned to the new comers, while also trying to pick out which adult was her watcher and to see if he could also see Joyce. “She is the Slayer do you even know what you are dealing with? With her being the Slayer.” He asked with some pain in his voice before calling out to the other Vampire’s. “Why if it isn’t Elizabeth Prattel.”


After hearing the name that Spike has just called out all the Vampires went running out of the building leaving only Spike and Angel as the 2 remaining Vampires.


With anger of being called out, Giles questioned Spike. “You seem to think you know something about Buffy that we don’t, please do enlighten us William or is it Spike?”


“I was wondering which was the Watcher and to answer your question, I prefer Spike, but William is fine too, and yes I do know things about Buffy, I’ve known her since she was a baby, even before her mother met Hank, I also….”


Giles interrupted him, with anger still firmly set in his voice. “What are you talking about Hank Summers is her father.”


Quietly Buffy answered Giles question. “No he is not. I was a few months old when Mom met him.” Then she took a step closer to Spike, in away of wanting to protect her father.


Spike broke back in at this point, “As I was saying I also know that Buffy has certain abilities, powers, that when they are put together with her Slayers powers means you just got an Immortal Slayer.”


Bursting with anger Giles yelled, “That is impossible.” Then said, “In fact I can prove you wrong, Buffy died last spring at the hands of the Master.”


“Did she now?” Spike asked looking at Buffy, while he raised his ever famous scarred eyebrow.


Buffy nodded her head.


“~Go with me on this, sweetheart. ~” Spike said to her through their link, before he looked back up at the others and continued. “No you didn’t.”


“Where you there? No you weren’t you were not the one who had to give her CPR because she had drowned in a pool of water after the Master had thrown her into it.” Xander yelled angrily at Spike.


“No I wasn’t there, but there is a simple way for me to find out.” Spike simply stated, as he then saw Angel take another step forward.


“And what would that be?” Giles asked, still trying to figure out why this Master Vampire hadn’t made a move for any of the people standing there or his Slayer.


Buffy who was now standing in front of Spike with her back to him spoke up. “Simple I let him bite me again.”


“Are you insane, he will kill you? That is what he does; he came here to kill you, he has killed 2 Slayers before. ” Angel yelled in an outburst and started to move closer to protect Buffy from Spike


With a laugh, she stated, “He won’t kill me.” then Buffy said quietly. “He didn’t even know I was the Slayer. Besides if he did kill me, he knows that one of you with a crossbow that currently is being held at him would then be put in his heart and he would be dust before he could cure Drusilla.”


“~Too much info, now they’re going to be asking how much you know about me and her. ~”

“~They will find out eventually but I’m not ready to tell them now. ~”


“~You know I need to redo your protection claim. You are at risk even more now that you are the Slayer. ~”


“~I know you can redo it, when you bite me. ~”


Completely realizing his Slayer has been hiding things from him, Giles asked. “What do you know about Drusilla? And exactly how much are you hiding from me, Buffy?”


Looking up at Giles she said, “Okay listen, I will explain everything another time, my knowledge of William. Yes, I am very powerful more than you know, he is right. I have held back with every training session you have tried to teach me. Spike has been Sparring with me since I was 5 yrs old, in fact there is only one Vampire that I know of, in which I could never take out and he is currently standing right behind me. “Now.” She said while turning back around to face Spike. “If anyone tries to harm him for what he is about to do I will kill you before you even get near to him?” Buffy informed the group of people standing there.


Giles just stood there floored that his charge had just threatened to kill a human to keep a Vampire safe. Angel couldn’t believe what he was seeing and her friends had no idea what had gotten into Buffy. So all they could do was stand there and watch.



Buffy tilted her neck to Spike and he gently bit into it, taking 3 pulls of blood he said. “Mine.” Then quietly so that only he and Buffy could hear he said. “My daughter.” With that he extracted his fangs from her neck and sealed up the bite.


Buffy then moved his shirts some and bit into his neck. Which she has never done with fangs before, she also took 3 pulls of his blood and said. “Yours.” Then also, so no one else could hear she whispered in his ear, “Your daughter.” With that she extracted her fangs as well and sealed the bite.


It didn’t go unnoticed to Angel that he had heard the words mine and yours coming from both Buffy and Spike, so he let out a claiming growl of his own.


Ignoring Angels growl, since he knew no Vampire could take away the claim he had just put on his daughter, he looked at Joyce, who had now come up to join the others in the group, and stepped forward from the group of people as he asked. “How long?”


Knowing he is talking about the Fangs and blood, she replied, calmly. “For about a year now.”


“How much?” He then asked, trying to be calm about it as well.


“Not much, maybe once or twice a week.”


Turning his attention back to Giles, “Well Watcher to answer your earlier question about her dying, tell me did the Council that you report to ever tell you she died? Like you are saying.”


“Actually no they never did.” Giles told him as he started to try and figure out why he was never informed about her short death, by rights a new Slayer should have been called, and also why had it took a Master Vampire to point it out to him.


“Well let me explain then why that call never came, with Angelus help I will be able to confirm what I am about to say. You see Buffy has never had a normal heart rate. She can have a beat every minute, the longest I have seen her go between beats is about 20 minutes. If you want both Angelus and I can show you when her heart beats.” Spike informed Giles.


Listening to what Spike has just pointed out, got Angel thinking. “I never thought of that but, no her heart doesn’t beat like a normal humans, I always just assumed that it was because she was the Slayer.”


“Its not, it is her origin.” Spike told him factly, “And I should know, with the killing of 2 Slayers.”


“What you are saying is entirely not possible.” Giles told him.


“Is it not. Angelus a little help because he will most likely only believe you.”


Angel then stepped closer to Spike.


Still not trusting Angel, Buffy issued him a warning. “Hurt him and your dust.”


“~Now, Now is that any way to talk to your Great Grandfather. ~”


“~Great Grandfather. ~” She asked Spike all worried now.


“~He’s Drusilla’s Sire. ~” He told her.


Panicked said says “~Drusilla’s sire, oh god I kissed my Great Grandfather. ~”


Reassuring Spike quickly pointed out, “~He doesn’t know who you are to me, yet. Don’t worry. ~”


“~Good.~”


“Buffy why do you keep spacing out tonight? Is Spike doing something to you?” Willow asked.


“Tired I guess.” She said lying to her friends, then continued on to everyone else as well. “Ok now will everyone let Spike and Angel tell you how fast my heart beats.”


Once she saw everyone nod, she said to them. “Ok let’s start this show.”



After 2 minutes went by, both Spike and Angel raised a finger to indicate a beat, once they hit the 30 minute mark they both only had 3 fingers up showing her heart had only beat 3 times.


“I would have to say he is right Giles, Buffy never did die at the Masters hands, and my best guess would be that her heart went into suspended animation.” Angel told him.


“I guess I will have to run some tests.” Giles told them, with that Buffy promptly pushed herself back into Spike to keep him there, knowing it was his biggest fear for her and him to be tested.


Deciding now was as good as time as ever, Angel addressed Spike, “What is wrong with Dru?”


Not sure how much he wanted Angel to know he went with the short and simple version. “We got attacked she got ill, now I have been searching for a cure.”


“Spike it’s getting late, you have been away from her for a while. I will come see you after school tomorrow.” Buffy said to him, wanting to get home herself, so she could fully digest everything that had happened tonight.


Feeling that she was about to lose control if something didn‘t happen soon he said. “Alright, then I better get going, we can catch up another time, I know Drusilla would like to see you again.”


Buffy gave him a hug, before he left to go back home.


“~I love you, Dad. ~”


“~I love you, too. ~”


Handing his daughter back over to her mother, he could feel her distress and knew he had to get out of there before he done something that would put him and his daughter in danger and risk of being found out sooner than was wanted he said to Joyce. “Take care of her; and I will see you later.”


“Your welcome anytime, William.” She said as he handed their daughter back to her and went through the window he broke on his arrival in the high school.


“Are you insane? You just told the Slayer of Slayer he is welcome anytime at your place? Now he won‘t even need an invitation to enter you house.” Giles yelled in an angry outburst.


“I know exactly who and what he is.” Joyce yelled back angrily, while trying to also console her daughter.



Once she had regained some control, Buffy asked quietly, “Can we go home now?”


“Sure Sweetheart.”


Angrily Giles yelled, “I think both of you have some explaining to do, you clearly haven’t been honest with me, and I know that now.”


Calmly Joyce stated “Another time, my daughter has had a rough day; not a single one of you will understand what William is to her. It is her right to keep her past with him as memories for her only, so she will tell you when she is good and ready to tell you.” Then Joyce took her, still clearly upset daughter and walked down the hall and out of the school.

Chapter 6


*****Later that night, after Spike left the High School.*****


“Honey, I’m home.” He calls out as he enters the Mansion and walks to the room he shares with Dru.


“Oh Spike, your back.” She says as she sees Spike enter their bedroom.


“Yeah, baby, I‘m back.” He says going over to her and kissing her.


She pulls back from him when she notices a familiar scent on him. “Elizabeth.” She says as a statement not a question.


“Yeah, Kitten I saw my daughter and all her mates.” He informs her with a touch of hatred in his voice.


“You don’t seem happy my sweet William, did you not find the Slayer before you found your Daughter?” She asks thoughtfully.


“Oh I found the Slayer alright.” Spike says with a trace of anger in his voice, then lets out a sigh, “Bloody hell, Dru. My daughter is the Slayer.”


“Oh Spike, I am so sorry I know how much you love going after Slayers and how you always wanted the best for Elizabeth.”


“Yeah well this Slayer, My Daughter. They don’t even know what they are dealing with. Do you even realize what they might have unleashed? She is part Vampire after all. Bloody hell Dru, when I did the protection claim again she bit me. I mean really bit me she grew fangs and all.” He tells her moving his shirt aside to show where he was bite from his daughter and deciding to leave out that he also saw her Sire tonight, in another time and place he will tell her that.


“I know this can’t be good, either my sweet but its okay. We will deal and I can assure you the Slayer will not kill you.”


Spike chuckled at Dru when she pointed out the Slayer would not kill him. “No, I guess not.” Then he lets out a sigh. “It’s just they don’t even know Dru. They don’t even know that, they are now dealing with the most powerful Slayer that will ever walk this earth. Not to mention the fact that she is now immortal. And to top it all off they thought that she died last spring when she had to face the Master.”


“Spike.” A minion calls from the open door.


“What.” Spike yells back, angrily for being interrupted.


“The Anointed One is here to see you.”


“You better go make nice.” Dru tells him, as she kisses him on the cheek.


“Yes I guess, I should.” Spike says leaving the room.

_______________________________________________________________________


As Spike enters the main room of the Mansion he, sees the Anointed One sitting there on his sofa waiting for him. So Spike does the tradition of the line and bends down in front of him.


“You failed.” The anointed on points out.


“She is strong; we will not be able to kill this one.” Spike states knowing that it is the truth.


“She is the Slayer.” The Anointed One says. “They can all be killed; you should hand over your life as pennants.” He then says as a command not an order.


“Don’t think so Mate.” Spike says taking a stake out if his pocket and plunges it into the Anointed One’s dead heart. Looking at the other one’s that came with the Anointed One he says. “I will be the new Master if any of you have a problem then you can join him with your ashes. Here.”


Not a single word is said as they all bow down in front of him and leave the Mansion.

________________________________________________________________________


*****The next morning at Sunnydale High School.*****


Buffy was walking with Willow into the School. “Buffy what are you not tell me?” Willow asks.


“About?” Was all Buffy could say.


“Spike, you both looked like you knew each other pretty well.” Willow says.


“I’m not ready to talk about it yet.” Buffy says as they enter there first class of the day.


“Buffy, you know Giles and Angel will want some answers.” Willow points out to her. “They weren’t to happy that your Mother stuck up for you last night and is making them wait.”


“Well it will just have to wait. I’m not ready to tell and until I am they will have to wait.”


Just then the bell rang as Xander was walking into the class.

________________________________________________________________________


After School Buffy goes over to the Mansion, while Willow and Xander go to the library to see Giles.


“Ah good, Buffy you’re here.” Giles says coming out of his office, not paying attention to who was coming in, since he had a book in his hand.



“Sorry Giles, Buffy said she has somewhere else to be this afternoon. I don’t think her Mom liked what Principal Snyder had to say.” Willow tells them.


Angel follows Giles out of his office. “Spike.” Was all Angel said.


“Why would the Buffster want to hang out with this Spike guy? He’s a Vampire, stake heart easy as pie.” Xander states to everyone.


“Come on Xander you saw her last night, how she let Spike bite her. She even threatened everyone if they made a move towards Spike or her at the time.” Willow tells him.


“He did more that bite her.” Angel mutters. “He claimed her and she claimed him back. I do believe that she broke skin to when she did it. I could smell her blood and his when they both bit each other.” Angel informs the small group.


“Oh Dear Lord.” Giles mutters. “What kind of claim did he put on my Slayer?” He asks turning to Angel as he says it.


“I don’t know.” Angel states. “Both of them were very quiet while doing it. All they let me hear was the word Mine, I know there was more to it. It most likely is the same one she had when she first came to Sunnydale.”


“Yes it is most likely; I just wish she would talk about it.” Giles says.


“Buffy would never let someone like Spike Claim her.” Willow says.


“With what happened last night, I am starting to think I don’t know my Slayer at all.”


“So what do we do now?” Willow asks.


“Well we need to get some answers from Buffy also this Spike guy seemed to be making it sound like Buffy has Special powers even before she was the Slayer. So I will need to look into her back ground some. Maybe a talk with Joyce, hopefully she is aware of it. She understands about Vampires. I gathered that much the way her and Spike were talking. He was concerned about something and she knew how to ease his concern with out them having to say what it was. She has always supported her daughter as a Slayer.” Giles says.


“I will try to find Buffy on patrol tonight.” Angel says.


“That might be a good idea.”


“I’m just thinking that I might know a way to get information out of Buffy knowing it. Maybe if I question the other thing that she mentioned to Spike.”


“What would that be?” Giles asked, trying to think back himself.


“About Drusilla being sick, she might even just slip something about her connection to Spike.”


“It’s worth a try.” Giles says then starts thinking. “Drusilla, isn’t she the sire of William the Bloody? In fact didn’t Angelus go after her until she became insane?” Giles asks.


“Yes she is my Childe.” Angel says. “You see that is where maybe I can get her to start talking if something is wrong and Drusilla, if she is sick she knows about it, how I don’t know. So going at Buffy through Spike hasn’t been working so if I go after her using Drusilla maybe she will slip up, since she won’t be expecting it.” Angel tells them.


“Very good, I trust that you will fill me in on what happens after you speak with her.” Giles tells him.


Angel nods and walks out of the library to go home through the sewers.

AN: I am having Buffy come to Sunnydale and Giles being her watcher from the time she was called. So nothing in LA ever happened like they talked about before S1. Also descriptions of S1 and some of S2.


Chapter 7


Spike was talking to a couple of minions when Buffy arrived at the Mansion. Sensing her approach he said. “Leave, I would like to spend time with my daughter.”


“Master Spike, what about the Slayer problem?” A minion asked.


“She will not be a problem, now I said leave.”


The minion left just as Buffy walked into the Living room. She stopped when she saw her father. “Um, I hope you don’t mind that I am here.”


“Never, in fact I just sent the minion I was talking to away, when I sensed you coming.” Spike told her.


“Sorry, I didn’t’t really feel like answering their, questions today about last night. They all started in on me right after you left, Mom told them they would they would have to wait until I was ready to talk about it, but I know they won’t.”


“I’m sorry Sweetheart, you know you are welcome anytime right. Dru would really like to see you, besides its been 3 years don’t you think we should catch up a bit.” Spike asked her.


“I would really like to Spar with you again, no holding back, it’s so hard to hold back, there are times I almost forgot.”


“Sure we could do that.”

________________________________________________________________________


They both sat in silence a few minutes thinking about things, and how to bring them up to each other.


Spike decided to break the silence when he asked. “So where was Hank, last night?”


“He’s not in my life anymore. Mom and Hank divorced shortly after I became the Slayer and this summer he said he couldn’t’t handle the Vampire in me anymore.” She told him trying to hold the tears back.


“I’m sorry Sweetheart, I know you loved him.”


“Loved him, but when he started cheating on my Mom, my love disappeared for him. I love you and Giles has been like a father to me since I moved to Sunnydale.” She told him.


“I’m glad you have someone.”


“Well had, I’m not sure what he will think of all of this. He’s smart and everything you said last night will have his mind going until he finds out or the next Big Bad comes to town.”


“Hey.” Spike said
.

“I didn’t’t mean you, besides you are not a threat to the Slayer anymore.” She told him with a laugh.


“No, I’m not and its okay Honey. So last time I saw you, you were not the Slayer and you lived in LA. Want to tell me about it?” Spike asked.


“A couple of months after you left last time, a man came to the house. Hank had been coming and going a lot and Mom and him were always fighting. Even when you were there last, it was just hid from you. They were talking about divorce a lot. He sat me and Mom down and said that I have been Chosen to fight the Vampires and rid the world of evil. He also said that I was needed in Sunnydale and handed Mom a lease to an art gallery and a deed to the house on Revello drive. We moved a couple of months later in time for me to start the new school year. Hank said he would not go and divorced Mom.”


“So you move to Sunnydale and left your life behind.” Spike asked.


“Giles was there for me even though I didn’t’t want him to be.”


“What do you mean?” Spike asked as he raised an eyebrow.


“I never wanted to be the Slayer, then after Xander lost a friend because of me. I tried to quit.”


“What do you mean?” Spike asked again with his eyebrow raised.


“I was at the Bronze with Giles and the gang, I told Willow to basically live in the moment. Giles was doing some Slayer training wanting me to feel the Vampires. I couldn’t tell him that I knew how many and all that, Willow then left with a Vampire, when he was questioning me on something, Angel said. I went after Willow and Xander followed me, Darla was up with a bunch of the Masters crew and got Jessie and turned him.” She explained.


“So what made you change your mind?” Spike asked before adding, “Are Slayers even allowed to quit?”


“No they’re not and nothing changed my mind, I just turned it into a job that had a mystery guy that was good looking. That would come and warn me about things. It was weird; I wasn’t able to tell him I was a Vampire‘s daughter. For the longest time and I had to act like I didn’t know much about them. Like when he was injured and we were running from the gang chasing us, it was out of my mouth before even thinking. I opened the door and yelled come in to him. He said its okay a Vampire can’t come in unless invited.”


“Elizabeth, you have been always taught not to invite strangers into your home.” Spike chastised his daughter.


“I know, I’m sorry.”


“It’s alright, so you invited Angelus in and then what?”


“I brung him in and taped up his cut on his side, just as he was putting his shirt back on, Mom came home. But the Vamps chasing us were gone, for now. She told me to say good night and go to bed; we faked him leaving and climbed the stairs quietly to my room. I told him I did want him dead. Mom never knew he never left the house.”


“I would have loved to have been there for that.” Spike stated.


“Why so you could bust me for breaking the no boys in my room rule.”


“Well yeah, but he sounds like he was trying to be rather human.”


At Buffy’s look of confusion, he corrected himself. “Yeah. Yeah we all do it at times. So he’s in your room, how did you work out the sunlight problem.”


“He told me that he couldn’t get back into his place till his buddy got home from work, since he’d forgotten his keys and also has a medication he was on that caused him to break out in hives from the sun. And no we did not sleep in the same bed, he slept on the floor. So the next day, I went to school and kept some supper for him. After a short discussion we ended up kissing, during the kiss he vamped out, I ended up screaming and he took off through the window. Mom came running and I told her Angel is a Vampire and left to go find Giles to discuss it with him.”


“So you kissed your Great Grandfather, then what?” Spike asked enjoying her tail she was telling him.


“We discovered that he was really Angelus, and that the Council believed he had been dead for 100 years or more.”


“About the time he got his soul back.” Spike said without thinking.


“Anyway I was coming home from the library to get ready for patrolling, when I found him with Mom in his arms and blood coming out of her neck. So I threatened him and called 911, I left her with Giles and the gang to go find Angel. Well apparently Darla came to the house dressed as a school girl, told Mom that she was helping me with world history, she bit Mom and threw her at Angel just as I was coming and jumped out the window.”


“Bloody hell, the only ones that can break my protection claim are Elders from my line, now I need to redo Joyce’s too.” Spike said clearly unhappy about it.


“The doctor said it looked like a BBQ fork but we all knew better. I found Angel at the Bronze; he lives in one of the Apartments off of it. We fought I learned about his soul, Darla came guns in both hands; she shot a round of shots in Angel. The gang came and were on the second floor, Willow yelled it wasn’t Angel it was Darla that bit your mother. With all the strength he could muster he lunged up and staked Darla.” Buffy explained to her father.


“Angelus killed his Sire; I knew someone did, but thought it would have been the Slayer.” Spike told her.


“I saw Angel for a little while longer we shared a few more kisses nothing more. When I learned that he would be my Great Grandfather I started to pull away, a couple of months later I heard him and Giles talking, Angel didn’t even sense me. It wasn’t until I made a noise he found out I was there. I got mad ripped the Slayer cross that Angel gave me the first night, I met him and told Giles I quit. I also told Giles I wasn’t ready to die at the hands of the Master.”


“Then what made you go up against the Master?” Spike asked confused, if she quit then why go.


“I couldn’t let Giles do it, I ended up punching him and he passed out, Xander came in and I told him to just think of something and left. A kid brought me to the Master; he bit me, and threw me in a puddle of water. Xander and Angel came in, Xander did CPR because Angel said Vampires have no breath, but how do you smoke if you don’t have breath?” Buffy explained with a confused look on her face.


“We don’t need to breathe, but it helps us fit into the human world if we eat and breathe.” Spike told her.


“We went back and killed the Master, then at the end of the summer they tried to bring him back. I ground his bones with a sledge hammer. That brings us up to 2 weeks ago, when Angel brought Giles in on the fact that I was marked by none other than William the bloody, AKA Spike, AKA the Slayer of Slayer do I need to go on? Before I moved to Sunnydale.”


“Sounds like I missed a lot.”


“Yeah you did, many times I could have used you as well, and I have been going through some changes to since becoming the Slayer. Can we go see Grandmum now?” Buffy asked letting Spike know that she did not want to talk about it any more.


“Yeah we can go see Dru now, talk about the other things later.”


“Thank you.” She said quietly.


“Come on lets go.” Spike said getting up and taking her to his and Dru’s room for her to see Dru.


“Dru, I brought someone to see you.” Spike told her as they entered the room.


She turned to Spike and saw Buffy. “Elizabeth come say hello to Grandmummy.”


“Hi, Grandmum.” Buffy said.


“We’ve missed you.” Dru said.


“Missed both of you as well.”

________________________________________________________________________


1 hour later, Spike came back to get Buffy, from visiting with her Grandmum. “Elizabeth, its time for Dru to rest now, you can come back another day to see her.”



“But, my Spike we haven’t had our cake and tea yet.” Dru told him.


“Its okay Grandmum, I’ll come back and see you another day. I asked Dad to help train me before I left.” Buffy told her.


“You do that dear, I’ll see you later.” Dru said.


_______________________________________________________________________


Spike and Buffy left the room, to go and Spar with each other, before she had to leave to patrol.


On the way to the room where they could, go and Spar, Spike said to Dalton as they passed him. “I need something for her dinner in an hour when were done.”


“Yes Sir.”

______________________________________________________________________


An hour after they started to Spar, Spike lead her into the Dining room. “Alright time to eat, Sweetheart. Then you’ll have to go get ready for patrol, I’m guessing.”


Starting to eat, she said. “Thanks, what if I don’t want to patrol, what if, I’d rather stay with you. He can’t find me here and he’ll come to my house if he doesn’t see me during the day or evening.”


“Who, Sweetheart.”


“Angel.” She said while eating.


“He’ll eventually find you here; he’ll use his Vamp senses to find me.” Spike told her.


They shared some piece and quiet for a few minutes, while they both had something to eat.


“Well I guess I better go, I’ll see you tomorrow.” She said after she had finished eating, and got up to get ready to leave.

________________________________________________________________________


1.5 hours later she was walking through Restfield Cemetery, hoping not to meet up with Angel, when Angel came out of the shadows after she was finishing up staking a fledgling Vampire. While sensing another Vampire she turned to him stake raised.


“Oh, its you.” She said.


“What’s that supposed to mean? Angel asked. “Were you expecting Spike.” He asked as an after thought.


“I don’t want to talk about Spike, and no I was not expecting him.” She yelled at him.


“That’s right you already saw him today, didn’t you.” Angel said accusingly.


“What are you jealous or something; you’re the one that decided we couldn’t be together.” She told him not wanting him to know that they were actually related.


“So you jump in bed with William the Bloody, AKA Spike, The Slayer of Slayer and ¼ of The Scrooge of Europe.”


“I have not and never will jump into bed with him.”


Then why did you let him Claim you?” Angel asked.


“You know what, I’ve had enough. Finish up patrol, Angel I’m going home.” With that Buffy stomped off.

________________________________________________________________________


An hour later, Angel was knocking on Giles front door.


Opening his door. “From the look of you, I would say you didn’t succeed.” Said Giles.


“No she got mad and stomped off home; guess we will have to wait a few days.” Angel Replied.

Chapter 8


A week had passed since, Parent/teacher night and Buffy still was keeping her distance from Giles and tight lipped to Angel and everyone else, about her relationship about Spike.


As she walked through the library doors, Giles turned to her and said, clearly letting his anger show through. “Ah Buffy, what did I do to earn the honour of your presence today?”


“Sorry, I wasn’t ready to answer your questions, yet.” She simply informed him.


“So you’re ready, now?” He asked, with a voice saying your not getting out of it today.


“Well no.” She paused, and it gave time for Giles jump in and question her some more, while yelling as he did. “Well I suggest you get ready now, I am your Watcher, of which you plainly ignored for a week now, you clearly lied about knowing a very dangerous and deadly Vampire. And to top it all off, not only did you let him put some kind of claim on you, but you claimed him back.”


Buffy was crying a bit at what Giles had said in his out burst. “What do you want me to say, Giles that I’m sorry.” She asked.

________________________________________________________________________


Just then everyone else came into the library. Willow, Xander and Cordelia through the door and Angel came through the back stacks.


“What I want to know is why?” Giles told her while he calmed himself down some.


Angered she yelled, “Really, you want to know.” She paused for a minute, “You’re not ready to know, but I will tell you just not today.”


Giles went to say something, but Willow beat him to it. “When Buffy?”



“If you give me your word that Spike will not be harmed, you can all find out tomorrow.” Buffy told them.


“Why should we keep him safe?” Xander asked and them added. “Spike is a killer and a Vampire.”


“Oh, do be quiet, Xander.” Giles said.


“You have my word, Buffy.” Willow informed her.


“I will not do anything to my childe, unless he provokes me first.” Angel stated, not letting her know, that fact remands he can still use his elder Vampire leadership over Spike, if he had too.

_______________________________________________________________________


Just then Joyce walked into the library as Angel is talking. “That is fair.” She responded to Angel as she walked up to Buffy.”


“Mom what are you doing here?” Buffy said surprised to see her mother.


“Your father called, he wants to take you out for diner before you go patrol.” Joyce told her while trying to end her daughters confusion of her being there.


Thinking her Mom meant Hanks, Buffy got very defensive. “If Hank thinks.”


Her mother cut her off. “Buffy not Hank, your real Father.”


Giles is standing there while giving them a disapproving look, that her father who she doesn’t live with also knows she is the Slayer.


“I’m almost done here Mom, just waiting for Giles and Xander to tell me there response then I will tell them where and when.” Buffy told her mother.


“Wasn’t his only worry, Angel and the Watcher as he put It.?” Joyce asked her daughter.


“Yes, but they didn’t have to know that.” Buffy told her mother while throwing up her hands and sighing.


“Well you have my word, with the same condition as Angel.” Giles informed her, knowing he better follow her lead if he wanted to know what is going on.


“What are you all crazy; you’re going to let a Vampire control us.” Xander had burst out, in rage.


“Xander, I know what I am getting into, but we all want some answers and this is the only way we will get them. By both Angel and me conceding to go, as long as we are not provoked, he will also have to keep himself in check as well.” Giles explained.


“Alright, Alright I will hold my tongue.” Xander told them. (AN: Can Xander really hold his tongue?)


“So tomorrow, after school Mom will meet us here and we will go to the Mansion he is staying at. He will have Drusilla’s Minion, because she is to sick and can’t be left alone, as well as Dalton his researching Minion to find a cure for Drusilla and another on to make sure no one gets in that isn’t invited.” Buffy informed them.


“Alright.” Giles said.


“Angel bring your car tomorrow around 3 pm, Mom will be her for 3 pm as well. I will drive with you and Mom can take Giles, Willow and Xander. Cordelia can decide who they want to go with.” Buffy explained further.


“Not me, cheerleader practice tomorrow night.” Cordelia told them.


“Alright, I have to go get ready. I’ll see you all tomorrow, if I don’t see you tonight.”
________________________________________________________________________


The next afternoon the group is standing outside of Spikes Mansion on Crawford Street.


“Oh, he lives in style.” Xander said to them.


“He most likely has money.” Willow said before continuing, “From what I have read he is old.”


“Most people, who have been around for over 100 years, get a great deal of money.” Buffy suggested to the group.


“Only if you knew the way he got it.” Angel muttered under his breath.


Upon hearing what he had said, she said to him. “You think you know every thing about him, you don‘t, oh and you got most of your money the same way."


“And you do.” Angel retorted back to Buffy.

_______________________________________________________________________


Standing in his doorway now highly amused at what was going on in his entrance way. “If you are done, I ask that everyone put there weapons in the box provided. Then you may enter my house.”


Buffy nods to Spike and, walked right past Spike and, into his living room, with out removing her stake from her waist band.


The gang had all noticed Buffy never removed her stake as they had done with there’s.


Spike turned and follows Buffy into the living room, while leaving everyone else with the minion.


______________________________________________________________________


Shortly after Buffy and Spike entered the living room the rest of the gang entered the living room as well, with Angel being last, followed by Spike’s Minion.


“There all clean, Master Spike.”


“Alright go take your post.” Spike instructed him, before turning to the group of people now in his living room, which considered as family and friends of his daughters a well as her Watcher and his girlfriend. “Now I got the impression that you didn’t believe me last week with everything that I know about Buffy. She is more powerful then you have all seen.”


“Your right, I didn’t believe you, still don‘t but I also know when my Slayer is not telling me something.” Giles informed him.
.

“Figured you were the Watcher a week ago.”


“What is that suppose to mean?” Giles asked angrily.


“Nothing it just lets me know who I am addressing in a professional matter.” Spike told him before continuing. “Now you might have noticed that I asked everyone to remove there weapons, but your Slayer nodded and walked right past me. That was because we are going to give you a demonstration before the important information is given out.” He paused for a minute to make sure she was ready. “Now, how far can she throw her stake when she grabs it out of her waist band?” Spike asked.

“Haven’t seen her throw it more that 40 to 50 feet.” Giles answered his question not understanding what if really has to do with Buffy and Spike.


“Elizabeth throws the stake.” Spike instructed her while backing away some, before her yelled. “Watch out for fast moving flying stakes.”


Doing what her father had asked she easily threw it about 150 to 200 feet before it embedded itself in the wall.




“Wow, where did you learn to throw like that?” Xander asked, purely amazed.


“I’ve always been good at throwing.” She simply stated.


“Remind me not to be standing in front of you, when you decide to throw one then.” He said, trying to joke about it.


Turning to everyone, she said “I have to go change; I’ll be back in a couple of minutes.”



“Stay away from mine and Dru’s room, I just managed to calm her down before you got her.” Spike ordered her.


“Alright.”


After she left Giles spoke up. “You are portraying yourself as a very different Vampire than the one that has been tracked for over 100 years as a Slayer killer.”


Spike vamped out with his back to them, and turned quickly with his game face on he said. “I am a dangerous Vampire and don’t you forget it.” As he Softened his features back to his human face, he continues. “But as long as Drusilla or Elizabeth or even Joyce is around you will never see me as a deadly Vampire unless Dru, Joyce or Elizabeth are in danger.”


“Why should we believe you?” Angel asked, clearly knowing what Spike is like.


“If you would have kept up with the orders history, you would have understood why I made the name Elizabeth Prattel clear to everyone.” Spike simply stated.


“But you will know something tonight, that you should have known as soon as he said my name a week ago. Even the Minions knew enough to leave.” Buffy stated walking up to Spike. “Sorry I took so long; Jeff came to get me to help him with Drusilla for a minute.”



“I know, I knew exactly where you were in the house, and what you were doing.” Spike told her slightly angered for disobeying him.


“Jeff need help calming her down.”


“So you just let her bite you?”


“I knew it would help; besides it’s not as if she would hurt me. Since the whole order wouldn’t even dare lay a finger on me. Now that you told him who I am.” She replied to Spike.


“Won’t stop some from trying, and it doesn’t matter you know for a fact when she gets like this she can be dangerous, and now that she has had Slayer blood. He says angrily to her.


She cut him of with a Shout. “I didn’t give her Slayer blood.”


“Then what did you give her.” He shouts back, angrily.


Angel went to step in and stop there fight, but Joyce stopped him with a hand on his leg and a shake of her head.


“Yours, I’ve learned to separate the Slayer out of my blood.” She yelled to him.


“That is absurd.” Giles said in an out burst to her claim.


“I have to agree with the Watcher there Sweetheart, when I bite you I tasted Slayer blood.” Spike said trying to claim down some.


“OH Gee, Maybe because you came into my school to kill me. DAD.” She yelled at him, as she turned away from him.


The others just sat there in shock, not knowing what to think, or say.


“That’s right, I am your Father. I am also a Vampire and you my dear have just done the number one thing both your Watcher and I have always told you never to do.” Spike yelled at her angrily.


Spinning around with the speed of a Vampire. She said. “And what is that?”


“To never, and I mean never turn your back on a Vampire, haven’t you figured it out by now. Everything I have done and everything I do is to keep you safe. Never in all my years would I have expected to become a father after 108 years of being a Vampire.”


“I know I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking.” Buffy told him, calming herself down some.


“It’s okay.” Spike said as he was ready to let her off the hook.


“William.” Joyce said. “Stay firm or she’ll walk all over you.”


“Right.” He said with a nod, towards Joyce.


“Now when you got angry at me, turned away you leaked out something you weren’t ready to tell. I guess we have some explaining to do.” Spike informed her.

Chapter 9 Spike and Buffy tell every one they’re father/daughter


As she turned back to her friends, she said “Sorry guys forgot you were here.”


Shyly Willow asked “So is Spike really your father? So that was why you didn’t say your real fathers name when you told us that Hank wasn’t your Dad.”


“Yeah, Wills he is.”


“That is preposterous.” Giles exclaimed while he tried his hardest to stay seated.


“Insult me all you want, Watcher but just now you were insulting a pretty decent lady. And that is not very tolerating, if you ask me.” Spike told him.


“I don’t see a problem, in fact I am starting to seeing why some things have happened, the way they have.” Jenny said.


“How?” Giles asked, not really sure if he picked up on what she was talking about.


“Think about it Rupert, especially the way she felt about Angel.” Jenny explained to him.


“The fact that she suddenly pulled away from me, only let me be her message man and her helper on patrol. But if what Spike has said is true, I have never heard of her before and don’t see the demons fearing her, yet I have noticed that there are not as many from our line.” Angel informed everyone.

“She didn’t let me know she was The Slayer, so it was a shock to me a week ago. As soon as I discovered who it was, I announced to my men her name. Ever wonder why they left me all alone?” Spike asked, trying to get people to see he was telling the truth.


“Why yes actually.” Giles replied.


“Most of the men where mine that I travelled with. I actually knew that Elizabeth would most likely be there, so they were warned that if I said her name they were to leave. I’ve been staking minions’ right and left as well as the Anointed one. They don’t want to honour her in the line like she has been all these years. She should be able to walk into any Aurelis house tell them her name and be welcomed like she had been for almost 17 years, but now that she is the Slayer some are scared.” Spike told them.


Buffy started to move around a bit, as Spike noticed her movements, Spike asked. “Elizabeth, what’s wrong with you?”


“Just the tension of this day was getting to me, I need a full out release.” She suggested to him.


“What do you mean a full out release?” Willow asked not sure she liked what she was hearing.


“No holding back.” Spike replied.


Intrigued Giles asked ,“How much do you really hold back, Buffy?”


“A lot, when all of you are around, even with Angel. I didn’t want any more questions than what he was already giving me.”


“Why didn’t you slowly let your strength come out?” Giles asked.


“Because she could kill a human, with just one punch in the right spot, she could harm them before she became the Slayer. Your forgetting that I am a very strong Vampire, the only one who has ever kill 2 Slayers and attempted to seek a 3rd one out, who I won’t be killing. I am also a Master Vampire, was one when she was born too, which is also a very powerful line order, in which we don’t sire just anyone. Elizabeth received a lot of the demon in her, just think of a Siring to get an idea of what I am talking about. Now she wants a full out release, I will give her one fists and fangs and maybe even weapons, its up to her, Angel can play if he wants to in fact I suggest he does let her hit him sometime. Now anyone not fighting needs to stay out of the way on the couches and leave here and there clear.” He said as he pointed in front and behind him.


Everyone got up and moved around to where Spike had told them, so they could make sure they were not in the way.


“Why are we listening to an Evil, Blood sucking soulless thing?” Xander said as he made his way to one of the other couches.


“Because until we verify his story, we are going to trust him.” Giles told Xander clears not happy with what he just said.


Confused Willow asked “But how do you do that? It not as if we can do a DNA test.”


“But in a way, we could do a DNA test.” Spike said as he called Joyce and Angel. “Joyce, Angelus could you come here please.”

____________________________________________________________________________________


They both got up and went over to join Buffy and Spike.


Angel realised right away what Spike was asking, and didn’t question it.


“Angelus is going to need to bite you and take some blood, not a lot. Then later I will have to bite you after you have recovered some, to redo the protection claim.” He informed Joyce, before he continued, “He will also bite Elizabeth and me, but I will be biting her, right after he is done everything.”


Knowing he wants her to acknowledge what he just told her, she said. “Alright.”


Buffy eyes went wide.


At the sight of what Buffy did with her eyes, Joyce stated “Buffy you know this has been done before, a few times actually. He had to do it in order to get you the protection in his Vampire order.”


“Yeah I know, alright who are you going to bite first?” Buffy asked Angel just wanting to get it over with.


I’ll bite Spike, then you and hopefully I won’t need to bite your mother. We don’t need to put her through the trauma of 2 bites, where you being the Slayer and for some reason I am believing Spike.” Angel told her. “You also said earlier that you didn’t give Dru, Slayer blood?”


“I figured out how to do that about a year ago, as long as I’m not in battle mode, I can do the separating of my blood.” She informed him.


“Could you do that while I bite Spike?” Angel asked her.


Buffy nodded to Angel as he moved in closer to Spikes so he could bite his neck, after biting Spikes neck and sealing it he then moves on to Buffy. “Relax.” Angel said before he bit into her neck, he toke 3 pulls of Buffy’s blood and then sealed the bite. (For some reason 3 is the magic number.)


Spike immediately moved to Buffy to redo the protection claim.


Angel turn to the group assembled. “Well it’s true you are looking at father and daughter, even though I am not even sure how it is possible.” Angel informed every one.

“Could we fight now?” Buffy asked, as she started to fidget again.


“Yes, we could discuss this with your Watcher at a later date.” He said as he looked up at Giles while he said to Buffy, “Boots off.” Then gave Giles a look that said I mean business.

_____________________________________________________________________________________


Both Buffy and Spike removed their boots and walked to the middle of the floor, turning to put her back against his, she stopped mid way and walked over to where he had the weapons set up and yanked the sheet off.


As he saw what she did he said. “Oh you want it that way, start easy and work up from there.”


“Easy you say, fine we will work up to them.” She said as she walked back to Spike, as she turned her back against his. “We’ll work from the staff to the funny looking black sword thing on the end.” She suggested to him.


“So the usual technique then.” He asked.


“Yep, we should have it down pat by now; it’s been the same for years.”


“Ready then.” Spike asked.


“Yep.”


Both Buffy and Spike took 3 paces away from each other, then turned and started circling each other as they looked for an opening to attack. After a few minutes Spike faked a punch towards her jaw, and Buffy rolled out of the way and was able to knock his legs out from under him in doing so. He reached up to grab Buffy but she had anticipated his move and jumped 6 feet in the air and over him. Spike jumped up and punched her in the stomach causing her to double over, but she quickly recovered to give him a kick with her right leg to his stomach. Spike got pushed back about 5 feet.


“You’re not giving it your all.” Spike said to her as she came at him again.


“Just warmed up.” She said while she gave him a right hook to the side of the face, just missing his nose.


Spike swung out with his left leg and knocked her to the ground, he then jumped on top of her, as she rolled them in a summer salt before she became upright and flung him on the way about 15 feet down the hall.


She then stood up and looked at her friends and Watchers expressions, while she walked over to the wall of weapons. Buffy grabbed a staff, as she sensed her father coming towards her. Just as he lunged towards her, she let herself fall to the floor with the staff in hand, she rolled on her back as he went over her, and brought her staff up to get him between the legs, she pushed him further away from her and into the wall of weapons, where some of them fell on him.


Spike grabbed a staff off the floor and stalked over to Buffy. “Now your playing with fire, little girl.” He said while vamping out.


“You wouldn’t hurt your little girl, would you Daddy.” Buffy questioned, as she bared her fangs to him, also.


“That’s right you are my little girl, and I believe she needs to be punished.” Spike said, teasing her still.


“No Daddy, please don’t hurt me.” Buffy cried as she rolled away from him, while also playing the game he had started.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


An hour later Buffy and Spike had finally finished fighting, after they had been through all eight of the weapons, Spike had lined up.


As Spike sat up, slightly winded on the floor he said as he panted, “I’m getting too old for this, and to think I wanted to take out my 3rd Slayer.”


With a laugh Buffy said as she left the room to go get her father some, blood where she would take a sip of it before going back into the living room and handing it to him. “Your dead, you haven’t gotten older in 124 years.”


Seeing Buffy had handed Spike a blood packet, Giles spoke up, “I wondered what you would be do about you’re feeding habits, now that Buffy is the Slayer.”


“Actually I never hunted when I was around her before, always went with bagged blood, I didn’t want her to see me hunt, went almost 4 years on it a few years ago. I’m sure we can all do it again, Dru has actually been on bagged blood for years now; she doesn’t have strength to bite into a person’s skin anymore. The minions I brought and the ones coming have been with me for years now, both Joyce and Buffy know them. They will have no problems with my feeding schedule as they have had to followed it before, any of the Masters minions that won’t follow it, I have been staking slowing. Any more questions Watcher?” He asked while he drained the blood that Buffy gave him.


“I noticed you changed from dangerous Vampire to playful and back again. Why was that?” Giles questioned still trying to get an understanding of the man in front of him.


“Always have with her; she was 5 when I first taught her to fight. 6 we started to use weapons, she had to learn that while fighting is effective at times, it can also be very playful.” Spike told them with a shrug.


“When you were talking about her having to hold back, I am assuming she wasn’t holding back when she threw you?” Again Giles questioned him.


Spike looked down the hall to where she had thrown him, and then back at Buffy. “She could have thrown me about another 5 to 10 feet.” Spike told them before he continued, “It all depends on her angle and her mood how far she will actually throw me.”


“You’re joking us.” Xander said with a laugh.


Firmly Buffy stated “No he’s not, Xander.”


“I really do believe we need to find a different place to train her, as well as a different fighting partner.” Giles informs the group, “It’s just there is some Slayer training I will still have to do with her.”


“We have been using the space in the basement, all week. You’re more than welcome to come here to let her train.” Spike suggested to him.


“Where would you be during this?” Giles questioned.


As he sensed a discomfort in the Watcher, he said “Anywhere you want me to be, but I will be in with Drusilla if you don’t want me in the room, as she is unable to go outside or be moving around.”


“If you don’t mind, I’d like to think about it for a few days. Right now I do believe we should be getting out of your way.” Giles said as he started to stand up.


“Yes I should get everyone home so I can make diner for everyone.” Joyce stated.


“I need to redo that protection claim, Joyce.” Spike reminded her.


“Is that wise with the fight you just had.” Angel questioned, know he himself would most likely want to feed on the warm blood after a fight like that.


“I’ll meet you at the gallery in a couple of days, to do it again.” Spike suggested to her.


“Alright I’ll talk to you later.” Joyce said as she got up to leave with everyone else, except Angel. She noticed Buffy didn‘t come. “Buffy.”


“I’ll be home after patrol, I’d like to stay and visit Drusilla, if that alright.”


“It’s fine Honey.” Joyce said before she left with everyone in tow, but Angel.


“What can I do for you Peaches?” Spike asked, not sure if he wanted to tell Angel everything yet or not.


“I want to help, she’s my childe.” Angel firmly stated.


With disbelief Spike said, “After over 100 years, you want to help.”


“Yes I want to help, you could at least let me see her.”


“Elizabeth please send Jeff out, while I talk to my Grandsire.” Spike told her, knowing she was going in to visit with Dru.


Buffy nodded as she walked off to go to Drusilla’s room.

Chapter 10 The aftermath of the gang finding out the truth.


A day had passed since Buffy had brought Giles to Spike’s mansion, and Giles was finding himself no further ahead then what he had been when he started looking after the big revelation, the night before.


“Hey G-man what’s up?” Xander asked as he entered the library.


“Xander how many times have I told you not to call me that ridiculous name?” Giles asked him, without looking up from what he was doing.


“Sorry.”


“Hi Giles.” Willow said as she entered the library with Buffy.


“So what are we doing today?” Buffy asked sitting down at a table.


“Training but I don’t think that will be until Angel comes.” Giles told her, as he thought back to the play fighting she had done with Spike, the night before.


“Still don’t want to take Dad up on the offer.” Buffy said, with a smirk that could match her fathers.


“If I did what would we do if the Council came?” Giles asked her, before he continued “It’s bad enough I have to cover up that your Father is the Slayer of Slayers and a Vampire none the less.” Giles informed her.


“I know, how do you think I have felt since I was called.” Buffy replied to him.


“Is there a new big bad in town because you certainly have enough books out.” Willow asked him.


“I am trying to find a mention of a Vampire having a child.” Giles informed them, as they all took an interest in the fact they might have a new big bad in town.


“Alright I’m here what did I miss yesterday with the Billy Idol want a be.” Cordelia asked as she walked into the library.


“Buffy was great when she fought him.” Xander told her, as he finally sat down at the table beside Buffy.


“So he’s dust, I don’t need to listen to Angel complain that you are with Spike again. That you said there is nothing going on between you, and how is anyone to know when you have his scent on you, and everything.” Cordelia said quite glad that the Angel complaining would stop.


“Well he’s not dust, we were play fighting.” Buffy informed her.


“That was amazing at how far you threw him.” Willow said as she got into the conversation about the fight last night.


“Yeah he falls for that move every time,” Buffy told Willow, before changing her statement to, “or almost every time.”


“You should have seen Angel when you yelled at Spike and Spike yelled at you, he wanted to go protect you but your Mom stopped him.” Willow told her.


“Sorry we were kind of arguing at the time.”


“Yeah and it was so cool the way you said, ‘Oh gee you kind of came into my school to kill me, Dad.’ Or something like it.” Willow said, forgetting the others in the room.


“Wait Spike is your father.” Cordelia said, with a surprised tone in her voice.


“The one and only.” Buffy said, as if it was old news now.


“I thought Angel said he was old?” Cordelia asked, trying to figure things out.


“Angel never said he was old, he said that once Spike started something he didn’t stop till he had what he wanted. Oh and he is 124 years old so yeah he was a Vampire when he got Mom pregnant.” Buffy informed her of what Angel had said.


“Actually Buffy I would love to talk with your Mom and maybe even Spike about their relationship, I understood from what the Watchers diaries had said his only lover is Drusilla.”


“His only Vampire lover is Drusilla, he had been will since she turned him, his only human lover was my Mom, he wanted to make a new family like what they had before Angel got his soul and Darla left, Spike saw Mom and went after her to get to know her and turn her, he was unable to turn her because Mom reminded him of his mother and it ended badly when he turned his dyeing mother. Heard the story a million times.” Buffy informed him.


“That was quite interesting.” Giles said, thinking back to what he had read of Spike.


“What is Giles the fact that they do their work before they turn someone, Spike is the only one in the order that was turned and they hadn’t approved of, that is why Angelus tortured him so much in the 20 years before he got his Soul back.” Buffy said to Giles.

____________________________________________________________________________________


As Buffy talked about the Order and Angel’s soul, Angel came in from the back stacks.


“I see you know some history on our Order, what else do you know.” Angel asked her whilst wondering what else Spike would have told her.


“Bits and pieces what ever Spike or Drusilla found important to tell me.”


“Oh.” Was all he could say.


“So if you know all about the Order why did you let me try to start a relationship with you?” Angel asked, it had been bothering him all night, and most of the day.


“Because I didn’t know that Angel was Angelus with a Soul, they never talk about the fallen Angel who was cursed with a soul. When I found out you were Drusilla’s Sire it was too late we had already kissed.” She informed him.


“If we could bring the conversation back to things on hand,“ Giles suggested, trying to stop the argument that he felt was coming from Buffy and Angel. “I have started a new journal everything about Buffy and Spike and the Order of Aurelis that I don’t want the Council to know will go in there. It will not be easy if the Council were to find out that The Slayer of Slayer had a human child, who is The Slayer they would capture her for testing and possibly kill Spike or worse. I don’t care if your Father is Spike or not you are still the child I never had, you all are actually.” Giles ended with a loving look on his face for all the children in the room.


“Actually he is glad that you look at me as a daughter.” Buffy told him.


At Giles confused look, she continued. “What we talked ok.”


“I do believe that you did.” Giles said to her.


“So what is this that he said on Parent/teacher night about you being Immortal now?” Giles asked her.


“Surprised you didn’t ask him last night.”


“There was too much for me to take in, if he thought I won’t have questions for him and your mother as well as you, he is clearly mistaken.” Giles informed her.


“Oh I am sure he knows that you will have questions for him as well.”


“Spike didn’t have a human child, Buffy portrayed herself as human but she did get a lot of his demon, you would almost call Buffy a living Vampire.” Angel told him, coming to terms with the fact she was really good at hiding her true nature. “When you add The Slayer demon into that account then one demon has to pick which one to be on the fore front, in which would be the demon that is stronger. It will take more presence, than the other one.” Angel informed them.


“A living Vampire, so you drink blood and have the strength of a Vampire.” Giles asked his Slayer.


“Yeah, after I was called I started with the bloodlust, Mom keeps pigs blood in the freezer, and I don’t need as much as Angel or Spike. One sip will last me, but sometimes I do need more, Spike’s blood can last me longer but I really haven’t had time to try it.” Buffy told him.


“Can I just say EWW, cheerleader practice got to go.” Cordelia said happy to be exiting the library.


“So it looks like the Vampire is stronger than The Slayer where that would then make her immortal.” Angel informed the group.


“If she was a Vampire wouldn’t she have all the sunlight problems?” Xander asked, still kind of confused with all of this.


___________________________________________________________________________________


Just then Spike walked into the library.


“Was able to sense where this conversation was going,” Spike said at her confused look. “Sorry Sweetheart kept my senses on you all day in case your mates gave you any trouble about last night.” Spike told her.


“So you have the right to come in now when ever you want.” Xander asked, trying to act like a protector to all.


“Xander do be quiet, Angel and Spike right now are our best resources to what is going on with Buffy.” Giles said.


“Not going on, Buffy has always been part Vampire, a living Vampire as Angel had called it. It’s a Vampire legend come true, don’t rightly know why they felt I was the Vampire to deem it true.” Spike said to back up what Angel had just told them.


“Again, why can she go into sunlight if she is a Vampire?” Xander asked.


“Watcher I really think you need to educate your kids, if you’re going to have them help The Slayer.” Spike told him.


“I would if I could but as you said the theory of a Living Vampire is a legend to the Vampire world, the Council knows nothing about it.” Giles told him.


Spike raised an eyebrow to that. “A Living Vampire has the strength and skills of a Vampire but does not have the mortally and the bloodlust that accompanies being a Vampire,” Spike told him. “Now when you add The Slayer demon to that you then get a very dominate Vampire demon which has just chosen her mortally, that is why I told you she is immortal.” Spike explained the rest to him.


“If you don’t mind there are some things I would really like to know as I told Buffy earlier that anything that is told that I don’t want the Council to know I am recording it in a separate journal now and will be keeping it locked. All I need to do is figure out where would be a safe place for everyone to meet to do these little talks.” Giles told him.


“Ask me anything, if I am willing to let you know the answer I will tell you. My mansion is always open to you to use, I know you don’t feel comfortable with all the Vampires but we won’t hurt you.” Spike assured him.


“Maybe in a couple of days we can meet again and I can ask you questions or just get to know my charges. I am sure what we have on record of you may not be completely true as I am finding out with things that are written about Angelus.” Giles suggested to him.


“Alright 2 days from now you all come over and I’ll make everyone dinner, we’ll talk. I need to get going back to check on Drusilla now.” Spike said as he left the library.

Chapter 11


A few days later the gang was once again standing outside the door at Crawford Mansion.


This time it was because they were all invited to dinner and it was a much safer time for Angel as it was only a few minutes before sunset.


As he stood in his doorway, Spike said to them. “Welcome please do come in and the same rule applies as last time please leave any weapons in the box provided.” Then he turned and went into his living room.


They all entered the living room and took a seat on the sofa or a chair.


“I’m sure you all have questions.” Spike told them as he too took a seat.


________________________________________________________________________


Just then one of the minions came into the living room and addressed Spike. “The sun has just set so I will be going now.”


“Alright remember what we talked about.”


________________________________________________________________________


Spike turned back to the group. “He is going to patrol for The Slayer, tonight. That way we really don’t have to worry about the time.”


Buffy got up and went to her Father, as she hugged him she said. “Thank you a night off that I don’t have to beg for.”


Giles thought of saying something but decided not to cross Spike.


“I guess we really don’t stop hunting, do we.” Spike stated with a chuckle.


“When Buffy gets a night off a disaster usually strikes.” Giles told him.


“Yeah, do you remember your date with Owen?” Willow asked.


“Of course, how could I forget?” She said with a roll of her eyes before she continued, “Giles took off to check out the morgue himself and got himself trapped by vampires; Angel showed up and called me on not doing my duty. Then you and Xander decided to tell me, you wanted to double date. After I left to go and help Giles, Owen decided to follow us to the morgue.”


“I can assure you, no disaster tonight. My men are more then capable to help you out.” Spike informed her.


_______________________________________________________________________


Just then a faint bell went off, which only Buffy, Spike and Angel could hear.


“If you will excuse me, I’ll be right back.”


“Do you need help?” Buffy asked.


“No Sweetheart, Dalton is in the kitchen helping me out.” He said as he got up to go to the kitchen.


“He seems to have changed in the last hundred years.” Angel said.


“He’s still a killer, as soon as he leaves here, he will most likely feed.” Buffy told him a little sadly.


________________________________________________________________________


As Spike heard Angel and Buffy, he said to Dalton. “I never really know how long we will stay anywhere; lately it has been a mission to heal Dru. But I think we need to settle down here for an undetermined amount of time. My Daughter will need us all here for quite a long time.”


“I agree, we do need to settle down here, and help Elizabeth out, I can’t imagine any of this being easy on her.” Dalton told him.


________________________________________________________________________


Unaware of the conversation in the kitchen, Willow said to Buffy. “We will just have to find a way to keep him here.”


________________________________________________________________________


They finished taking dinner out of the oven, and set it on the already set table.


________________________________________________________________________


Spike left Dalton in the dinning room to finish up and went back into the living room. “If you all would follow me, dinner is being served in the dining room.”


Then he lead them into the dining room, walked to the head of the table, and took a seat.


Dalton took a seat on one side of Spike and Buffy on the other side of Spike.


Joyce decided to take a seat down by Jenny and Giles, so Buffy’s friends could sit by her, Angel sat beside Dalton.


“This looks lovely, William.” Joyce said, as she looked at everything he had on the table.


“Yes it does, thank you.” Jenny said as well.


“Well don’t just sit there and look at it, dig in will yeah.” Spike said as he gestured to the food on the table.


________________________________________________________________________


They all started to pass the different dishes of food around, till everyone had served themselves, what they wanted to eat.


After a few minutes of silence, Xander put in his opinion. “This is really good, who knew the Evil Vampire could cook.”


“Ate a cook once maybe it stuck.” At everyone’s look he said. “Just kidding, one thing I can say is life is never boring with Drusilla, my Sire. She goes through these phases, one was she would not eat or drink blood.”


“How did you get around that?” Giles asked in wonderment, of what the Vampire would do.


“Almost rare meat and once and a while I managed to get her to drink a glass of blood by adding things to it, to hide the taste and looks.”


“I see.” Giles said, in a Giles tone.


________________________________________________________________________


Spike jumped up, not sure if he wanted to know what the Watcher was thinking. “Who wants dessert? Maybe a tea for the Watcher, and a coffee for Joyce.” He then said quickly wanting to get out of the dining room.


“That would be nice would you like some help, William.” Joyce asked.


“No, I think I have it covered, but thank you, anyways.”

_______________________________________________________________________


Spike then went into the kitchen to get the coffee and make the tea.


“I think I’ll just go and see if he needs any help.” Dalton said as he started to feel a little uncomfortable, he got up and went into the kitchen to join Spike.


“That boy seems to have a hatred for Vampires; even the Watcher isn’t that bad.” Dalton said.


“Yeah I noticed, he also seems to have a crush or something for my Daughter, wonder what his Cheerleader girlfriend thinks about it.”


“The red head seems to have feelings for the boy, but I feel power coming off her as well.”


“I noticed that as well, both the Watcher’s girlfriend and the red head have power. The only thing is one knows she has power and the other one doesn’t.” Spike told him.


“Coffee’s ready, and the tea I believe is ready as well.”


“Well then let’s bring this out then.” Spike said, as he picked up a cake.


________________________________________________________________________


As Spike entered the dining room again, he put the tray he was carrying with the cake and the plates and mugs down, while Dalton put the teapot and coffee pot down on the table, then both Vampires sat down.


Buffy looked at the cake then at her Father. “Is this what I think it is?”


“Most likely.”


“I haven’t had this cake since you made it last time.” Buffy told him.


“It’s a chocolate cake what’s the big deal, Buff.” Xander said unaware, of exactly what the cake was.


As she got up to cut the cake, Buffy said. “Xander this isn’t just any cake, it’s a chocolate cheese black forest cake.” She told him as she cut a piece of cake, “You see the bottom is Chocolate cheese cake and the top is black forest cake, with slivered chocolate through out the cheese cake.” By the time she had finished talking everybody had a piece of cake.


“This is really good, I’ve never had a cake like this, is it made or store bought?” Jenny asked taking another mouthful.


“My own recipe.” Spike told Jenny.


“Well aren’t you quite the Vampire chef?” Xander said, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.


Ignoring Xander‘s sarcasm Giles said, “Quite judging from what I have tasted tonight, He could cook anything for me.”


“Oh I don’t think you would want everything, I could cook. I do have a mixture of blood recipes.”


AN: The cake was made up, I knew Buffy liked chocolate and what more than chocolate cheese cake and black forest together. I have no idea if there is actually a cake like that or not. If someone knows of the recipe could you email me the link. s_m_l_c@yahoo.ca

Chapter 12


Spike sat at the table for a few minutes, before he looked up at the Watcher. “I believe you had some questions to ask me?”


________________________________________________________________________


“Yes, I have been researching, looking to find out why a Vampire was able to Father a relatively normal human child. But to do so I need to understand more about your relationship with Joyce.” Giles told him.


Spike looked over for Joyce’s approval first.


She nodded her approval to Spike.


After a couple minutes of silence, Spike sighed and started to tell everyone about his relationship with Joyce. “When I meet Joyce, both Dru and I had decided that we wanted to bring our family of 2 back to 4. We knew Angelus was gone with the soul and all; But Dru wasn’t able to understand about the soul. After about 50 years or so Darla left us to go back to her pounce of a Sire. Drusilla was devastated for years, I’ve never taken a Childer so we decided that I would sire someone and then once they were ready they would then take a Childer as well. Only I knew we would never be like we were with Angelus and Darla, but Dru didn’t.”


“Given enough time, I’m sure you would have, your line is the only feared line there is. If the Council could they would have stopped the Order from Siring, the ones they wanted to stop the most were Angelus, Darla, Drusilla and William the Bloody.” Giles told him, trying to keep the anger out of his voice at what he just heard.


“Never sired anyone, Watcher unless you count Minions.” Spike said calmly.


“I believe they were, but I’m not sure the information we have on you is not entirely true, from the way you talk.” Giles informed him.


“So I was looking for someone, to take as a Childer, we had already decided I would take a female Childe, with all the Sire duties and everything I would feel more comfortable about it. So in searching for someone for me to take as a Childe, my demon seemed to take a hold of Joyce when I saw her. So I started watching her from a far, then after about 3 weeks to a month later, I walked into the Gallery, Joyce was working at.”


Joyce picked up the story for a bit. “He came in about 30 minutes before the Gallery closed, he made it look like he was looking around to buy something until he figured out we were alone or something, I’ve never been quite sure.”


“He then asked me if I would go and have coffee with him sometime.”


Spike picked it up again. “She told me that she would love to have coffee with me and would meet me the next night after the Gallery closed. We would meet at the coffee shop down the street from the Gallery. I told her I would meet her here at the Gallery, because you never know what is out there at night, and then left happy that I had made an arrangement to meet her.”


“About a month after we met, we were back at my place watching a movie, when he turned to me and said ‘I have to tell you something.’” Joyce told them as she picked up the story again.


“The movie we just happened to be watching was Dracula, so I turned to her at a certain part in the movie and said ‘I have something to tell you.’ I just knew the time was right to let her know I was a Vampire. She said to me ‘Alright what do you have to tell me?’ So I just blurted out ‘I’m a Vampire.’” Spike told everyone.


“My first reaction was to laugh, till I noticed he wasn’t laughing. ‘You’re being serious, I asked him.’”


“Yeah I am, and then I let my face change and her explore it, like I did with Elizabeth when she was a young child. I told her about the plan, but at this point I would be unable to turn her.”


“I asked him after he told me everything, if he would bite me, he told me not unless I asked him too. We then realized it was late and he had to get back to Drusilla, to make sure she was alright and everything and that he would be back in a couple of days to check on me.” Joyce said.


“I kept my word to her, and in the coming weeks, she wanted to meet Drusilla. I thought long and hard about that one then decided why not I could see how they acted around each other. I was still under the impression I was going to turn her in a few months to a year.” Spike told them.


“He then came to me a couple of months later and told me ‘I will be leaving LA in a couple of days, everyone wants to get moving on.’ We decided right then and there, that we wanted the physical contact with one another and Dru had told me, if I wanted a child I had to, make her believe I would becoming back. I ended up staying the whole day because of the sunlight and then she asked me to bite her. I would like something to remember you by she told me. I decided to mark her with my protection, that way only elders of my line could break it. That night I walked out of Joyce’s apartment and never looked back, I had a Mate that needed me and a future childe that Joyce was still going to become.”


“About 2 to 3 months after he left, I ended up going to the doctors. I found out that I was pregnant. Boy was I shocked William had told me that Vampires couldn’t have children so we didn’t use anything.”


“Well we can’t at least that is what I thought anyways. A week before the 1 year anniversary of my leaving Joyce, Dru started acting really strange. Saying we had to go back to LA to meet my child. I thought it was a little strange, and I still wasn’t ready to turn Joyce yet. But once my Sire gets an idea in her head, if it won’t kill you, you tend to go with it. We left the next night for LA; it wasn’t hard we were only in a small town in Ontario, Canada. We arrived the day before I made my presence known to Joyce. The next night I knocked on her door.”


“I answered the door and to my surprise, the father of my child was standing there and he said to me. ‘Hello Joyce’ I hugged him and asked him to come in. As soon as he walked in the apartment Buffy started to cry, I picked her up and explained to him that she was almost 3 months old and his daughter.”


“I don’t understand Vampires can’t have children, but I can smell the demon in her as well as it being my own demon. Just like if I would have Sired her, I then took the still crying baby from Joyce and she immediately quietened down and fell asleep in my arms. I asked what her name was.”


“Elizabeth Anne Prattel, I wanted her to have something of her father, Then we talked about things for a while and he left to go back to Drusilla with the promise to come and see us the next night.”


“There you have it Watcher, does that answer your questions?” Spike asked.

________________________________________________________________________

“For now, yes thank you for sharing that story with us.” Giles told them.

Daddy


Chapter 13 Giles has a chat with Spike.

****A week had passed since the dinner at Spike’s, and Giles was at his home going over some of the passages he had found on Living Vampires, and a few different cures on how to cure a sick Vampire.***


Just then his phone rang, “Hello” He said once he had picked up the receiver.


“Hello Rupert.” Quentin said with a clipped tone.


“Quentin to what do I owe the pleasure, so late this evening?” Giles asked, as he tried to hide his annoyance with the head Watcher.


“I don’t know what you, or your Slayer had managed to do, but a couple of months ago another Slayer was called. Which changed the Slayer line, to now having 2 Chosen Ones.” The Head Watcher informed him.


“I can honestly tell you I have no idea what happened, there was a Prophecy where she was to face the Master and die a few months ago. But I can assure you by the time that Xander and Angel got there she was breathing and her heart was beating. She was a bit disoriented but that was all.”


Unbelieving what Giles has told him, Quentin informed him, “Well you must be hiding something, and that is part of the reason I am sending Mr. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce and his new charge Faith to Sunnydale. You will see to it that both girls are to be trained together. If Mr. Wyndam-Pryce sees anything the least bit fishy about all of this he will be reporting back to me. So for the record both you and your Slayer on watch, is that clear?”


“Yes sir, we will make them feel right at home.” Giles answered trying to hide his worry.


“Oh and Rupert please make sure your Slayer doesn’t pass her deviant behaviour on to Faith.” Quentin informed him.


“I will have a talk with Buffy, but I can assure you there are a few Vampires in Sunnydale that don’t feed, on humans and help protect Sunnydale. Buffy will not see them harmed and neither will I, they have proven to be quite a good resource.” Giles informed him.


“You know what the Councils view on Vampires are, so you better hope that your new partner will see it your way.” Quentin pointed out to Giles.


“Yes Sir, so when will they be here?” Giles asked.


“You have 2 weeks, Mr Wyndam-Pryce will be contacting you with the information, you will need by the end of the week.”


“I will look forward to it, thank you.” Giles said hoping he could get off the phone.


“Now I must ring off, it is early here in England, and I have more work to do.” Quentin told him.


“Yes, very well.” Giles replied to him.


*****They both hung up their phones.*****


_____________________________________________________________________________________



Giles put away what he had been working on, and right away thought ‘I need to speak with Spike’ Looking at his clock. ‘11:50 ten minutes to midnight, he should be up. He is a Vampire after all.’ Giles thought to himself, as he grabbed his keys and left the flat.


_____________________________________________________________________________________



Getting out of his car, he knocked on the door to Spike’s mansion, 10 minutes after he had left his flat.


A minion answered the door, and Giles said, “It’s important that I speak with Spike tonight.”


“Leave your weapon and come in, none of us will hurt you. I will go and retrieve Master Spike; he was tending to his Sire, Mistress Drusilla right now.” The minion ordered him.


A couple of minutes later the minion came back. “Master Spike said he would be out as soon as Jeff comes to take over for him. Dalton has gone to get him.”


_____________________________________________________________________________________



5 minutes later Dalton came into the Living room. “Master Spike will be here in just a minute, he would also like it if you would be kind enough to let me stay.”


“That is fine; I understand you are researching a way to cure Drusilla.” Giles asked when Dalton took a seat.


“Yes that would be correct.” Dalton told him.


“How far have you gotten?” Giles asked, wondering if he would need to help Spike after all with curing his Sire.


“Not very far I’m afraid.” Dalton admitted to Giles.


“You will need Du Lac’s cross and Manuscript.” Giles informed Dalton.


“I haven’t heard of them.” Dalton admitted again to Giles.


“I happen to own a copy of the manuscript, and Du Lac happens to be buried with the last of his cross which happens to be here in Sunnydale.” Giles informed him.


_____________________________________________________________________________________



Hearing what they were talking about, Spike said as he entered the living room. “You want to bring a cross into my home?”


“If it’s to cure your Sire, yes.” Giles said hoping Spike would not rise to the challenge there were far more important things to worry about right now.


“Somehow I don’t think you came all the way over here to talk about my Sire, at oh around Midnight shall we say.”


“In a way I did, but I will get to that, right now I ask you to sit down, even thought it is your house. I have come around a lot, but to be honest with you, Angel and you still make me a tad bit nervous.” Giles informed him.


Sitting down in front of the Watcher, Spike asked. “So what can I do for you?”


“Before you say anything I had a phone call not even an hour ago,” at Spike’s look he continued. “It was from the head of the Watchers council; you see I never understood till you came to Parents/teachers night why I was never notified of Buffy’s death at the Masters hands last June.” Seeing that Spike wanted to say something, he said. “Alright say what you have to say so we can move on, I would like to go home and try to sleep. Before I have to be at the school and see your Daughter in 7 hours.”


“Why are we rehashing stuff we already went thru, she is Immortal. As soon as she became the Bloody Slayer her demon became stronger.”


“Yes I am well aware of what we have talked about, but it still doesn’t explain that the Head of the Watchers Council who is in England and never been to Sunnydale lately knew about the Master and there was another Slayer called that night. When he called me, he told me, he knew she was alive and well and he wants to know what she did. To make it worse he will be sending them here to investigate what is going on, we have 2 weeks.” Giles informed him.


“Two weeks, then where do you go, she just released her identity to you and now she will have someone new, not to mention that she thinks of you as a second father.” Spike said angrily, while doing his best to remain seated.


“I’ll still be her Watcher; Sunnydale will have 2 Watchers and 2 Slayers. The only thing I can think of is that when the Master put her in his thrall, it shocked her system which cause her heart to skip a beat, there fore another Slayer was called. You should have seen her that night she was so disoriented.” Giles told him.


“Possible, so I might have a Slayer to fight after all, don’t know how this will affect Elizabeth.” Spike suggested to him.


“I am assuming that you would kill to protect your daughter?” Giles asked, already knowing the answer.

Daddy


Chapter 14 Giles and Spikes talk continues.


“I am assuming that you would kill to protect your Daughter?” Giles asked.


“You’re bloody right I would, my men would and I’m also sure that Angelus would as well. I take it your assuming its going to get bad?”


“Wesley will not take lightly to Vampire’s in the mix, I told Quentin that there are a few Vampire’s that don’t feed and help protect Sunnydale, which Buffy will not see harmed.” Giles explained to Spike.


“Thinking of us, Watcher.” Spike asked ending with a smirk.


“I would not want to mess with Buffy if anything happened to you.” Giles informed him.


“You asked if I would kill to protect Elizabeth. Do you not think that she would not kill to protect the ones that she loves?” Spike asked.


“I was afraid you would say that.” Giles told him.


“She’s always been taught minions are expendable, so she should not for any of them. But Joyce, you, Dru, me and at least the redhead girl, maybe the boy, not to mention Angelus. Now that she is the Slayer and gotten more powerful, she will kill to protect, it’s only her nature.” Spike informed Giles.


“Well lets hope it doesn’t come to that, Wesley is young and his family has been involved with the Council for generations. I don’t know how easy it will be to persuade him.” Giles told Spike.


“So I’ve been warned, we’ve established my men will kill on my order to protect, I’m sure Angelus will as well. So what do you suggest now?” Spike asked wondering what else the Watcher was planning.


“Well I suggest we leave Angel patrol with her, I don’t want her to know yet or any of the children. We will need to inform Angel as well, I suggest we let her life be as normal as it is right now. She is going to have to start training with Faith; I am hoping I can convince Wesley to let Angel participate in training. I am afraid she might someday forget to hold back.” Giles told Spike with some worry clear in his voice.


“Call Angel and have him meet us here after her patrol check in, tomorrow,” Spike instructed Giles. I would imagine that if she is provoked or enraged for some reason her strength would go up without her being aware of it.” Then quietly Spike said, “I am her father I would help out as well.”


Hearing what Spike had just said, Giles said. “William you are going to be needed, your Sire and daughter need you, and we all need you. I am hoping that you will be willing to open your home to us if needed. I am not putting you indirect contact with Buffy, if the Council found out that Buffy was the Daughter of William the Bloody, they would capture both of you. You would find yourself and daughter back in England having a battery of tests run on the both of you. Then they would decide what to do with the both of you, either way you or Buffy would never see the outside of a cell again.” Giles explained to Spike, before pausing for a minute to let what he had said sink into Spikes mind.

After a few minutes Spike said. “Sanctuary is what you need, then it is what you will get.”


“We might have to flee Sunnydale; the Council would be out for blood and dust.” Giles pointed out.


“So we make the house a safe place. You have power amongst you; maybe one of them could do a protection spell or something on the house. I don’t know how you will be able to get the children away from their parents. Joyce will come with Buffy but how will you get the other ones away?” Spike questioned.


“I will talk to Jenny tomorrow about the protection spell. As for the children, Willows parents forget she is alive, Xander’s are always drunk and Cordelia’s seem to believe money will buy their child away. You see it’s not really a problem.” Giles informed him.


“So we should start mixing them with my men by the end of the week, which is when we will inform my men and the children, I will have my men work on opening up the other wing starting tomorrow. We will have to get them all furnished, then my men can do the decorating with each of them. I will encourage the mingling as much as possible. , If we need to flee Dru, Buffy and me will be the first to leave, then Dalton and either Angelus or another of my men will take you and Joyce.” Spike told him.


Giles went to interrupt.


“No Watcher, your girlfriend has power; if we need to flee I am hoping she can hold them off, The Council would go after you as well as Buffy. The way I see it Elizabeth will be deeply hurt if anything happens to anyone, but your girlfriend is expendable compared to you.”


“I guess your right.” Giles said quietly not wanting to think of what could happen to Jenny.


“Good now you mentioned my Sire and I’m hoping you will be willing to bare your neck to me as sign, as you letting me protect you.”


“You want to put a protection claim on me?” Giles asked.


“Yes if we flee, we will most likely go into hiding in other houses of our line. A human needs a protection or some other claim which would be worse, to get in.” Spike explained to Giles.


“Future childe or mate.” Giles said quietly.


“That’s right Watcher, now my Sire?” Spike asked, trying not to show his impatience.


“You’re Sire, from what Buffy has said and The Council records she is a seer. It has been repeatedly mentioned she is ill, I want her at her full power, and I might know how to cure her and would like it done before the other Watcher comes.” Giles informed him.


Spike was shocked. “You want to cure my Sire; you do realize we are the most feared of our line. You let one of us work amongst you, you have turned to another one for protection and now you want to cure the 3rd.”


“Yes she would be a valuable asset to everyone and if we flee in her weakened state, it could hold you back. You already said you would protect her with your life, if she is weakened and we are attacked what would the outcome be? Could you choose between your Daughter’s and Sire’s life?” Giles asked knowing that Spike’s Sire was more than a Sire, she was also his Mate.


“Not good, and no I don’t know if I could. I just never expected you to want to help cure her or help me for that matter.” Spike told Giles honestly.



“I’ve been researching Buffy and have come across ways to cure your Sire, I was working on it earlier and should have it done later today or tomorrow, and then I will bring it to you.” Giles informed him.


“Alright so I will see you tomorrow when we meet with Angelus, while Elizabeth patrols I will send one of my men to follow her, then we can be sure she won’t show up here.” Spike told him.


“She won’t like it, but it needs to be done.” Giles said while undoing the top couple of buttons on his shirt. “I give you my neck in return for your protection.” Giles said knowing the Vampire customs.


“Getting off the couch, Spike went to Giles and bit him, then replied. “Protection you may have William the Bloody aka Spike as well as the Order of Aurelius.”

Chapter 15 Dru’s cure


******8am the next morning, Buffy entered the school library. ******


“So what do we have planned for after school today?” She asked Giles while she sat down.


“Actually I have some things I have to do, so I would like for you to train independently.” Giles told her as he tried to hide his sudden bout of tiredness, but failed when he let out a yawn.


“I didn’t think I left you at the school last night?” Buffy stated when she saw a yawn he didn‘t manage to hide.


“No I’m afraid I didn’t sleep very well last night.” He told her, hiding the fact that he was at her father’s house till about 4am in the morning.


“Oh okay, is everything alright in the Giles land?” She asked just as Willow and Xander entered the library.


“Giles is sick?” Willow questioned as she took a seat.


“No I am quite fine, have quite a lot of work to do, and shouldn’t you all be getting to class?” He asked just as the warning bell rang.


“Right see you later.” Buffy said getting up and leaving with Willow and Xander.


Once they were gone, Giles headed back to his office and got to work on finishing the cure for Drusilla.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


*****Later that night at Spike house. *****


“Come in Watcher, Peaches should be here any minute.”


After Giles and Spike got settled in the living room, Dalton entered the room with Angel.


“I take it you have more information for us.” Spike asked.


“I have the cure, to make your Sire well if that is what you are asking.” Giles stated to Spike.


“In a way, yes, but I take it you didn’t hear anything else, about the other Slayer and the Watcher you came over last night about.”


“No I won’t until they have made complete arrangements to come to Sunnydale I should hear by the end of the week.” Giles told him.


“What’s this I heard about another Slayer and Watcher?” Angel asked as he heard what Spike had asked Giles.


“Oh that right, you did not hear about my late night phone call, it seems that somehow around the time that Buffy went and faced the Master another Slayer was called, and she and her Watcher are being sent to Sunnydale to keep and eye on Buffy and me. I told them that she is clearly alive and never died but the head of the Council thinks we are up to something.” Giles informed Angel.


“So that would explain why Spike called me and asked me to come instead of patrolling with Buffy, you think it will turn out badly, don’t you.” Angel questioned Giles.


“She is to train with the new Slayer, Faith they called her. We feel that there might come a time when she forgets to hold back and something bad could happen, also if the Council was to find out she was the daughter of a Vampire, one with quite the name for himself, it would turn into a Capture and Kill mission most likely.” Giles suggested to Angel.


“I guess your right.” Angel said quietly. “So what do we do?”


“Well you would still patrol with Buffy, I am hoping you being there will help to keep her grounded in some way, I have asked Spike to grant us protection, I also asked Spike something and I am going to ask you as well. Would you kill to keep her safe?” Giles asked Angel the most important thing he could think off.


“I don’t think you have to ask that, it might go against the soul, but if it was to protect Buffy I would do anything to keep her safe, but I can tell you that Buffy would also Kill to keep certain people safe.” Angel told him.


“I know we discussed that last night.” Giles told Angel.


“So what do we do now, just sit and wait.” Angel asked, wanting to do something to help.


“I have told the kids that we are all invited to a movie over at Spike’s Friday night and told them all to pack their bag because they will be spending the night. On Friday we are going to explain to the children what is going on and let them all decorate a room here for them, Jenny is working on some kind of spell as well. And last but not least we are going to cure, your Childe and Spike’s Sire.” Giles informed them.


“So what exactly will it take to cure Dru?” Spike asked.


“Mostly Sire’s Blood.” Giles clearly stated.


“Good thing I am here then.” Angel said to them.


“I have to get the Cross that is needed, you see it has a dagger that you can pull out and use to cut into your neck if she can’t bite into it and also you will have to cut at least one wrist and have them tied together. The ritual can either be performed by a Childe or someone that is in-depth with Magic, such as me. My suggestion is to have me do it; it could get a little troublesome for Spike to stay in the room.” Giles explained to everyone in the room.


“How about we do it, in 2 days time, I can assure you Buffy will insist on being here.” Spike said.


“That is alright, now I must be getting home, Buffy should be done her patrol soon and will be stopping by to give me an update.” Giles said as he got up.


Getting up and walking Giles out, Spike said. “After she is done patrolling,” Meaning the cure would have done after Buffy finished her patrol that night, then said. “So I will see you in a couple of days.”


“Have a good night.” Giles said as he walked out the door, and to his car.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


*****2 nights later*****


Buffy and Angel go to Spike’s after her patrol, so they can help cure Drusilla.


“Ah Buffy, Angel you’re here.” Giles said as they entered the living room.


“Yeah it was kind of slow tonight so we decided to end a little early.” Buffy told him.


“So what do we have to do?” Angel asked, as he took a seat in a chair.


“Basically you just have to let her drink your blood and let it also go into her through a cut as well. Buffy will stay out here with Spike and keep him from wearing a hole in the floor as I noticed lately he does when he is nervous.” Giles informed everyone.


“Got a lot to be nervous about right now, Watcher.” Spike snapped back at Giles.


“I know you do, we all do right now.” Giles said to Spike, in a way that let Spike know he wasn’t mad.


“Alright again I seemed to have missed something.” Buffy said as she picked up on the tension in the room.


“Maybe we shouldn’t wait till Friday to tell her.” Spike said, as he calmed slightly.


“Tell me what?” Buffy asked trying not to get angry.


“I guess your right, you can tell her while we are in with Drusilla if you would like.” Giles suggested to Spike.


“Speaking of her, why don’t we get this show on the road and cure my Sire.” Spike said as he got up again from where he had just sat down.


“That would be a good idea.” Giles said as he got up as well.

_____________________________________________________________________________________


*****They all got up and went into the room that Dru shares with Spike. *****


“Dru sweetheart, Angel and the Watcher are here, they want to make you well again is that alright.” Spike questioned her from the spot he had taken beside the bed.


“Princess would like to be well again.” Dru said quietly.


“And she will be, but I have to go out into the other room with Elizabeth, while they are helping you.” He told her as he gave her a kiss to her for head.


“I will see my sweet William later.” Dru called out to him as he started to walk away.


___________________________________________________________________________________



Buffy and Spike left the room, and he closed the door behind them.

Once they were back in the living room she rounded on her father. “So do you want to tell me what is going on behind my back?”

Daddy Dearest


Chapter 16 Buffy and Spike time


“So do you want to tell me what is going on behind my back?” Buffy asked her father as she tried to keep her anger in check.


“Not really but, I guess someone will have too.” Spike told her as he sat on the couch hoping she would do the same.


Starting her pacing, she said to him. “So no one saw fit to let me know what is going on in my life, gee Dad that is just great.”


Jumping up to be on the same level as his daughter, “It’s not like that and you know it.”


Turning on him. “Then what is Dad?”


“Do you think we could sit and talk calmly?” Spike asked, as he sat down, again.


“Alright” Buffy said a she took a seat on the couch beside her father.


“Right then, as you know on Friday you and your mates are coming over for a movie night here. Your Watcher has told everyone that, they need to pack a bag because it is going to be running quite late. What you don’t know is when you are all eating diner here, we will be informing you that I have opened a wing up for you lot.” Spike told his daughter.


“Why would you do that Dad? and why keep it a secret?” Buffy asked him.


“The reason why, your Watcher asked for it, it seems he received a call a few days ago from the Council of Watcher in England, where they proceeded to tell him that a new Slayer was called and her and her Watcher will be coming here to Sunnydale to keep an eye on you and your Watcher.” He stopped clearly seeing she wanted to ask a question.


“How could another Slayer be called? I thought we established I never died?” Buffy asked him.


“Thought so too, but one was called so what we think happened is that with the slowness of your beating heart and the shock of the Master, it might have stopped for a couple seconds and that would have been long enough to call another Slayer.”


“So what we’re just all going to move in here?” Buffy asked, not knowing what to think.


“Your Watcher asked for protection, sanctuary if need be, one thing he is worried about is them finding out we are father and daughter. You do understand that can not happen until we are able to trust them. I don’t think I have to remind you what I am but I will kill to keep you and your mum as well as Drusilla safe, Angelus will as well if need be.”


“What, you think I will just sit there and let them hurt you or my family?” Buffy asked, making it clear that he better not expect her to sit back and do nothing.


“I know you won’t, just remember what I always taught you minions are expendable, if anyone gets harmed it will most likely be them.”


“So are we hiding?” She asked him, not sure if she wanted to know the answer.


“No but you will have to hold back, they expect you to train with her, your Watcher is hoping he can get them to let Angel train with you as well, that way you won’t have to hold back with him as much. We are still going to have you patrol with Angel. Nothing will change, other than your gang will be spending more time here and you can’t talk as openly about having a famous Vampire for a father.” He told her.


With a roll of her eyes, she said “Back to secret identity girl, you know I hate that.”


“It has to be done, for a while.”


Sighing she said, “Alright I understand.”


“Good, now let’s watch that movie we were planning on watching.” Spike told her, as he got up and put the movie in the VCR player.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


45 minutes into the movie Spike started to get restless.


“You’re worried aren’t you?” Buffy asked as she eyed her father.


“She has been sick for so long I don’t know what to think.” He told her honestly.


“She’s not going to want to feed is she, she hasn’t had human blood for so long, the fact she will be able to do things again, might make her want to feed.”


“If she does, she will be surprised to find out I won’t allow it, I am hoping her love for you and the human part of her soul that never left her will keep her away from it.” Spike informed his daughter.


“Her soul, I didn’t think most demons had a soul.” Buffy questioned him.


“Most don’t but because of the things that Angelus did to her before turning her, it keeps her child like, and that is why she kept some of her human soul. She was pure Elizabeth, she was going to become a Nun, when Angelus did what he did to her it turned her into a Seer and childlike, that is how she gets her visions by being child like.” Spike informed her.


“Do you have a Soul?” Buffy questioned him.


“I am not 100 percent sure, but yeah I think I managed to keep some of William in me. Because Dru has a half her soul, it would only stand to reason that I did keep part of mine, and before you ask. Yes you have a complete Soul.” Spike told her.


Buffy let that rest and went back to something else he said. “You know you don’t have to call me Elizabeth all the time, Mom and my friends call me Buffy now.”


“Do you even know what the difference between Buffy and Elizabeth is?” He asked her.


“It a nick name I know that, but you can use it too if you want.”


“The name Buffy is normally created by a child’s unsuccessful attempt of saying there own name, once they learn to say it they normally go back to Elizabeth.”


“I liked it, it is different, there was another Elizabeth in school in LA so I started going by Buffy and it just kind of stuck with everyone.”


“I’ll try but I really don’t know if I will be able to call you Buffy, your also known in the demon world as Elizabeth, if we have to leave like what your Watcher thinks we might you are back to strictly being, Elizabeth, of Aurelius.”


Buffy pouted for a minute. “But you changed your name from William to Spike, Angel did his from Liam to first Angelus and now Angel.”


“First off, when Angelus was turned he gave up his human name, I didn’t right away. He is know of Angelus, of Aurelius, just like I am know as William the Bloody, (AKA Spike) of Aurelius. So if we leave he will not be going by Angel.”


They sat in silence and watched the rest of the movie.


____________________________________________________________________________________


10 minutes after the movie ended, Buffy asked “Can we do something we haven’t done for a while?”


“And what would that be Sweetheart?” Spike asked her.


“I want to Spar with you, but I want to use Swords, we haven’t done that in weeks.” She told him.


“We have a while longer, so why not.” Spike said as he got up off the couch, and lead her to the basement where he had a training room set up for her.


Once in the basement he went over and got 2 swords and walked to the centre of the room.


“Alright Sweetheart take your position.” He said as he handed her a sword.


Standing back to back in the centre of the room, Spike started to count off; once he reached 3 they turned and faceed each other.


Standing with their swords ready to face of just waiting for the first person to make there move, then one of them find an opening. She thrust at him with her sword, but he parries and swings around with a thrust of his own, which she also parries. They clash blades several times, and Buffy ducks a wide arcing swing from him. As they prepare to stand off again, and trade one thrust and parry after another. Spike tries another arcing swing from above, but she easily ducks and sidesteps out of the way. Spike tries a swing from above a third time, and again Buffy ducks it and escapes to the side. She jumps up on a pile of mats and swings at him again. He parries, and swings at her legs. She jumps up and over his blade and lands on the floor. He tries for her legs again, but she blocks his attempt with her blade. Spike comes at her with his sword held high, intending to swing from above, but she drops to the floor and rolls out of the way, so he only manages to smash into the punching bag hanging behind her. Buffy kicks his legs out from under him and scrambles back up. He looks up at her still on his knees and swings three times in rapid succession, all of which she parries. He swings a fourth time, and this time Buffy knocks his sword into the mats with her parry and pins it there. She jumps over him into the clear, and raises her sword to continue the fight. He thrusts, and she parries. Then he kicks her in her sword arm, and she stumbles back a step. As they move around the room they start to fight trading blows as much as trading parries and swings then suddenly Buffy falls and is laying on her back, Spike thrusts the sword at her, knowing full well she will stop it, and Buffy reaches up with both hands and catches it between them. Using her strength and pulling he’s sword out of his hands, she turns him and pins him with it.


“Ha I won.” She told him with a smile on her face.


“That you did, you are getting a lot better with a sword.” Spike told her.


“Giles has been working on it with me.” She simply stated to him, before asking “Think they are done yet?”


“I don’t know lets go find out.” Spike told her as they left the room.


AN: Yes if you watch Becoming part two, you will find the sword fight was a lot alike, I used half of it in this chapter, but also changed what I need to change.

Daddy Dearest


Chapter 17 Dru is cured


As they made their way back into the living room from their fight in the basement, they noticed right away Giles and Angel were sitting on one of the sofas.


“You left Dru alone? How is she?” Spike asked as he started to head towards his room.


“She asked to be left alone, said she was tired and wanted to rest some.” Angel quickly growled out.


Buffy had a hurt look on her face, which was noticed by Spike right away. “What’s wrong, Sweetheart?”


“She doesn’t want to see me.” She said quietly to her father.


“I am sure she won’t mind if you were to go in there and sit with her.” Spike suggested to her.


“I won’t wake her, I just will go and sit with her.” Buffy told him.


Giles spoke up for the first time, “I think that is a lovely idea, dear.”


“Okay, I will see you all in a few minutes.” Buffy said as she left the room.


Spike made his way over to a chair and sat in it. “So how is she really?”


“She is fine, William.” Angel said using Spike’s given name.


Just then Giles looked at his watch, “If you don’t mind I need to get going it is getting late, and I haven’t had much sleep the last couple of days.”


“No go ahead Watcher; I will see you when you bring the kiddies over Friday night.” Spike reminded him.


Giles got up off the couch and headed for the door, as he was leaving he turned back to Spike “Oh how did Buffy take what we were keeping from her?”


“She understands now, but was not happy about it.”


“Okay very well,” Giles said then left.

_____________________________________________________________________________________


After Giles left, Angel asked Spike “Do you want me to stay in case there is a problem and she needs more of my blood or do you want me to go home.”


“You might as well stay, as you said she might need more of your blood, I am not going to lie to you and tell you that I like you being here, but you are family, and at times like this family sticks together, let me show you to your room you will be having since if we need it you will be staying here too.” Spike finished as he stood up from his chair and headed out into a hallway towards where the bedrooms were, Angel followed quietly behind Spike.


Once they reached the room that Angel would be staying in, he said. “You can sleep in here or what ever you do when the humans are all asleep.” Then he left the room, but not before he heard a quiet “I don’t like you either, but thanks.”


_____________________________________________________________________________________


Spike smiled to himself as he went to check on his Sire/Mate and daughter.


Quietly he opened the door to his room, and poked his head in. Drusilla noticed Spike immediately as did Buffy. “Why don’t you come sit with us my Spike?”


Walking into the room he said, “I thought you wanted some time to yourself?”


“Silly Childe, I would always welcome you and my grandbaby” She informed him with a smile on her face.


“How are you feeling, luv?” Spike asked as he walked all the way into the room and closed the door.


Dru waited for him to take a seat beside her on the bed before answering him. “I feel like I haven’t felt in a long time, I do wish I could feed, but I know I can’t and don’t think I would be able to live with myself if I did, for some reason.” She told him with confusion in her voice.


“I believe you might have your whole Soul back now, luv.” Spike informed her to try and help with her confusion. He then turned his attention to his daughter for a minute, “Are you staying tonight or are you going home because it is getting quite late.”


“Can I stay?” She asked quietly.


“Elizabeth you know you are always welcome at my place, but you should probably call your mother.” He told her.

“Okay I will,” She said as she got up to leave the room.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


Friday night, the whole gang was once again finding themselves on Spike’s doorstep waiting to be let into the mansion, only this time they knew they were staying the night in a Vampire’s house and all brought a bag of luggage with them.


“Come on in, I will show everyone to their room, then you can all make your way to the living room when you are ready.” Spike informed them as he moved aside from the door to let them in to the mansion.


As they all entered the house, Buffy asked, “Do I use my old room or do I get a new one in what your minions are now calling the human wing?”


“It is up to you, I figured you might want to be close to you mates, so you can have one there to, Joyce doesn’t need to stay in the human wing either if she doesn’t want to.” Spike told them, as he started to lead everyone to their rooms.


When he got to the first one he said, “Figured I would put the Watcher up near the entrance, as well as Jenny. Now my question is will you be sharing a room or separate?”


Giles looked at Jenny and then back at Spike, “We haven’t really discussed it yet so would separate be alright?”


“It is fine, you can chose from these two rooms,” Spike said as he indicated one on each side of the hall. “Next we will put Joyce if she chooses to stay on this side.”


“Yes I think I will, William, I don’t want to cause you any problems.”


“You don’t Joyce and you know it.” Spike stated to her.


“I will put Buffy across the hall from her mother, but I don’t know if she will stay on this side.” Spike informed them, as he gestured to two more rooms.


He moved farther down the hall, “The rest of you can pick the remaining rooms, but I am not going to be promoting teen age sex so no sharing a room with you boyfriend or girlfriend.” He said looking at Xander and Cordelia.


“Yes Sir,” Xander said, even if he did like Spike because of what he was, he still knew he wouldn’t cross him.


“No sleeping with Xander, we are so not on that level yet anyways.” Cordelia answered to Spike.


“Good, now I’ll let everyone get ready, then you can come meet me in the living room, we will then have supper, and I think it is about time for everyone to meet Drusilla for a few minutes, I will not be leaving her with anyone but Buffy, Joyce and maybe the Watcher and Jenny for long.” He told them as he turned to leave.

Daddy Dearest


Chapter 18


20 minutes had passed since Spike left the teens and few adults in what his Minions were now calling the human wing of the house. He had seated himself in a large arm chair in the living room, and was currently watching the 2 wings to see who would come first.


Just as the door bell rang, Buffy and her friends and family arrived, in the living room.


“If you would excuse me, I’m just going to go and answer the door?” Spike told the group as he got out of his chair and started to make his way to the door.


Once he opened the door, he found the pizza boy standing there, so he took out the money he owed him and collected his pizza. As he went back into the living room he noticed his crew was there including the Minion he had asked to fetch Dru for him while he was getting the pizza.


Placing the pizza on the large coffee table and end tables, he re-took a seat. “I figured with everything the Watcher has to tell us, we could have an informal night then we are all watching movies are we not?”


“Yep.” Buffy answered as she got up to get a piece of pizza.


“First things first,” Spike said halting Buffy where she was. “I would like everyone to meet my Sire/Mate Drusilla,” He then motioned for Dru to come to him.


Walking over to her Childe/Mate she said. “Hello deeries.” Then she sat down with her Childe.


“I am going to make one thing clear, to all of you, “No one and I mean no one is to be alone with Dru until she get used to all of you.” He looked around the room before he said “Lets eat.”


Buffy grabbed a piece of pizza with Ham and pineapple on it, while most of the others grabbed either combination or just plain pepperoni.


After everyone had taken a piece of pizza that would be taking one, Buffy said to Giles, “I believe you have something to discuss with us?’


“Yes my dear, I do.” Giles answered after he put his piece of pizza back down on his plate. “It would seem that I had a call from Quentin Travser, earlier this week.”


“What would he want?” Joyce asked not knowing what had transpired over the phone or the real reason they were all at Spike’s place.”

“It seems that when Buffy went to face the Master, last spring a new Slayer was called that night.” Giles said before pausing for a couple minutes to let that sink in with everyone.


“Wait, I know I don’t like everything that happened Parent/teacher night but I thought we decided to listen to the man here and found out that Buffy didn’t die?” Xander questioned, surprising everyone by what he had said and the fact that he was the first one to point it out.”


“She didn’t but, a new Slayer still was called.” Spike told him.


“How?” Was the only thing Xander could think to ask to what Spike had just said?


“I believe that when the Master bit her, he caused her heart which already was slow because that is just Buffy, it skipped a beat which caused the calling of another Slayer. Almost like a shock to her system.” Giles filled in for everyone.


Thinking for a couple of second before she answered Jenny said, “It does make sense, that if she was in shock her heart could have stopped just for a fraction of a minute, which I guess would result in the calling of another Slayer.”


“So is Buffy still the Slayer?” Willow asked shyly.


“Not that easy to take away from her.” Spike pointed out.


“I’m not seeing the problem her, people, so what another Slayer was called, well now she is not the only one, she can have a day or two off. Where is this other Slayer?” Cordy pointed out in away only Cordelia could.


“They should be arriving by the end of the week.” Giles told them.


“They?” Willow gulped out her question.


“The Slayer and her Watcher, don’t worry I won’t be going anywhere, the main problem is, we can not let them know until we can trust them that Buffy is indeed a child of a Vampire and one that is also known as the Slayer of Slayers.”


“Check, no one talk about Dad around the new members.” Buffy said.


“You will also have to train with her, as well as patrol with her.” Giles continued on.


“Right then, start holding back again, did it before sure I can do it again.” Buffy informed the group.

“I am still going to insist on Angel patrolling with you and would like it if they would allow him to train with you both as well.” Giles said.


“If they won’t I can always come here to Dads to do it, again like I did before I told you.” Buffy pointed out to Giles.


“I also wanted you all here; because there is a possibility we might need to use Spike’s protection. If they find out who Buffy’s father is, they could possibly contact the Council if they do we will all be hunted. Spike can offer us protection, but in order too, you need to let him bite you. I am hoping you would let it happen now.” Giles told everyone.


Everyone was quiet for a minute, before Jenny got up and walked over to Spike.


“Kitten, I think it is time for you to go back to our room now.” Spike said to Dru before he started to address Jenny.


“Alright I will go, but do we still get to do what we talked about.” Dru asked as she got up and walked over to a Minion to have him go back with her.


“Yes, luvs after the kiddies have all gone to bed.”


“I ask for your protection and for the protection of the children,” Jenny said as she knelt in front of Spike.


“Protection you and the children may have William the Bloody aka Spike as well as the Order of Aurelius.” Then he bit Jenny.


After Jenny, Willow lined up and eventually Xander and Cordelia joined the line as well to have their protection bite put on them.


“What do you say we all watch the movie now?” Spike asked once he was finished placing a bite on everyone.


“Sounds good, do you want me to make popcorn or something?” Joyce asked.


“Already taken care off,” Spike told Joyce as Dalton got up and walked into the kitchen.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


3 hours later, the movie had ended and the teens were all on their way to bed, as well as Giles, Jenny and Joyce.

“I think that went well, with Dru what do you think?” Spike asked Angel who was one of the few left in the living room.


“Looks like it.” He answered not sure what Spike wanted to really know.


“We will be heading out, now boss,” The Minions that didn’t live there told Spike as he got up with some dishes to bring in the kitchen.


After they had left to head towards the kitchen, Spike said to Angel, “Dru wants to have her Sire and Childe, just like old times. What do you say about that?”


AN: May I remind you this fic does have a Spike/Other warning as well as it has been clearly stated that Spike and Buffy are Father and daughter. So next chapter as you can tell will have some Spike/Other in it. Also I am thinking about changing the rating to NC-17, as there are some NC-17 chapters coming up. So if anyone knows how to change the rating for the fiction please tell me.

Daddy Dearest


AN: Again I would like to remind people that this is a Spike/Other story and it is nothing more than a fatherly love, he contains for his Daughter Buffy. With that said there is going to be a Spike/Angel scene and a Spike/Dru/Angel scene as well as a Giles/Jenny. After all it is night time and the Adults will play. Angel will not lose his Soul in this fic either.


You have been Warned so no flaming me, just don’t read this chapter if you don’t like the pairings I have in this Chapter. This is also a very NC-17 chapter.


Chapter 19


After they had left to head towards the kitchen, Spike said to Angel, “Dru wants to have her Sire and Childe, just like old times. What do you say about that?”


“I believe it is more of, how do you feel about letting Your Mate have her way in this?” Angel questioned Spike as he put what he was carrying in the sink.


“Won’t happen all the time, and let’s put it this way I kind of miss it to a little.” Spike told him as he put what he was carrying in the sink as well and hopped up on the counter, undoing his buttons of his jeans.


Seeing Spike’s rock hard cock spring out once his jeans were undone, Angel licked his lips and said as he undid his pants and let his cock come out as well. “Going to be different, having to give control up to you. Angelus always felt like he owned everyone, and you had to do what he said.”


“Not expecting for you to give up total control, but you do know the do’s and don’t of playing with a Mated couple.” Spike informed him.


“Yes William, I know the do’s and don’t of playing with a Mated couple.” He told Spike, as he moved closer to him at the Counter, taking Spike’s cock in his hand and leaning in to give him a kiss on the lips.


Spike immediately opened his legs a little wider so Angel was able to get as close as possible, and then lent forward to meet Angel’s lips.


As the kiss intensified, Spike pushed Angel’s pants down over his hips to pool at his ankles; he then took Angel’s shaft in his hand and starting mirroring the rhythm that Angel had set about doing on his own cock. Pulling his mouth back from Angel, he said “God it’s been so long, Angelus.”


Angel used that break to yank Spike’s shirt over his head, as Spike then did the same with Angel’s before they both lent back in and started kissing each other again. As their hands ran over each others bodies, Angel started to lick his way down Spike’s chest, stopping at his nipples for a couple of minutes before, making his way farther down. As he reached Spike’s cock he flicked it with his tongue getting a louder moan out of Spike than he did with his nipples.


“Oh it’s been so long Angelus; let me cum in your mouth please.” Spike babbles out as Angel encases his cock with his mouth, starting of with a slow rhythm working his way to a faster one, till he feels that Spike is close. When he knew Spike was close, he brought his hand down to squeeze Spike sac as he gave him a couple hard sucks with tiny bites.


As Spike emptied himself into Angel’s mouth, he screamed out “Angelus.” Once he was done Cumming he pushed Angel away and slid of the counter, removed his pants and knelt down to take Angels cock in his mouth.


A few minutes after he started to suck Angel off, he stuck his index finger in Angel’s asshole, and pumped in time with his suck, till he too soon had Angel emptying himself in his mouth, with a loud grunt.


Standing up and picking up his discarded clothes, he threw them in and empty cupboard, and said to Angel, “They will be fine in there for now, let’s go and see Dru.” Then he grabbed a hold of Angels cock and guided him out of the room.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


At the same time in Giles’s room.


“I just checked on the kids, they are all asleep and in their own rooms.” Jenny said as she entered the room and closed the door.


“I do believe it is only Xander and Cordelia to worry about, and I don’t think they would do anything to make Spike angry at them, even if they are having those kinds of relations yet.” Giles told her as she walked over to him.


“Tell me Rupert; are you too scared of Spike to have sexual relations in his house?” She asked as she straddled his lap from where he was sitting on the side of the bed.


“I really don’t think he was talking about us.” Giles pointed out as he kissed her sliding his hands around her back to hold her in place.


“Good, because I don’t know if I can have you this close and not do anything.” She told him as she undone her robe and slid it off, leaving her totally naked, except for where it bunched at their arms.


“We could have told him we would share a room.” Giles pointed out to her when he pulled back for air.


“How would that looked to the children if we said we wanted to share a room?” She asked as she undid his robe and pushed it off only to find him in a pair of sleep pants. “Oh Rupert those will have to come off.” She informed him as she started to slide off his body.


“Oh in due time they will,” He told her as he slid further on the bed so he could lie her down, and kiss her again.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


In Spike and Drusilla’s room, at around the same time.


Dru was swaying nakedly to the music only she could hear as Spike and Angel entered the room. “I see my boys have started with out me.”


“Sorry” Was all Spike said when he closed the door behind Angel and himself.


“No you are Mummy’s bad dog and bad dogs like to play with their Princess Sire.” Dru pointed out to Spike, as she swayed her way over to him. “Shame on you Spikey, for not allowing Mummy to watch.”


As Spike tried to take her in his arms she moved away and said, “It’s not the bad dogs’ turn.” Then moved to her Sire and kissed him.


After letting his Mate kiss her Sire for a few minutes, Spike then moved over to her and put his arms around both her and Angel, then whispering in her ear, as he started to rub his cock into her backside. “Oh I do believe it is time for both of us, Sire.”


“Oh that would make Princess, very happy my Spike.” Dru said as she ended the kiss turned and then dragged both Angel and Spike to the bed by their cocks.


Once at the bed, she released their cocks and climbed on the bed, turning and lying down as she opened her legs and whimpered, “Daddy.”


Moving to the end of the bed, Angel climbed on the bed and up to her, “Daddy know what you need.” Then he lowered himself so his face was even with her pussy. Then as he darted his tongue out to taste her, he moaned in pleasure of what he had not tasted for almost 100 years, and most likely would not again for a while.


Whimpering and moaning, she managed to get out, “Just like that Daddy,” as she grabbed for Spike and pulled his head down to her breast.


After a few minutes of suckling at her breasts, Spike let his fangs come out and catch on one of her nipples, knowing she would cum immediately. Drusilla screamed out her next orders for the two of them. “Harder Daddy, More, my Spike.”


As Angel sucked harder at her clit he pushed 2 fingers into her, pleased that he was hearing her wail in pleasure the whole time. Spike then leaned over and sank his fangs completely through her breast, piercing the nipple totally, and started to drink deeply from her for a couple seconds.


As she came down from her second and very powerful, orgasm, Dru said. “Now my two boys shall kiss and each taste me.”


Both Spike and Angel moved over to each other and kissed passionately for a good 5 minutes, before they moved back up to Dru.


As he lay down beside his Sire/Mate Spike asked, “Would you like to take Angelus in your mouth, while I take you between those beautiful pussy lips of yours? My love?”


“Yes, Mummy would like that, very much.” Dru said cooing happily.


Angel slid off the bed to stand beside it, and Dru got up on her hands and knees. She lent down to take Angel in her mouth and Spike took his hard cock and slid it against her wet pussy a few times before he pushed into her.


Spike as thrusted into her at a fast passé, clearly turned on by the sight of his Mate, sucking her Sire’s cock, he started to rub at Dru’s clit, when he noticed her stroking Angels sac. He lent down and bit into her neck causing her to cum, which then sent both him and Angel into their own orgasms.


“Mummy would like to feel, Daddy in her, and have her Childe, in her Daddy, just like old times.” She told them with a smile on her face.


Spike pulled out of Dru and let her lie face down on the bed, while he said, “Anything you want for tonight, this is a treat for you.”


Angel climbed up on the bed and lowered himself down and into Dru’s pussy, but she said, “No Daddy, in my asshole.” So he pulled out and slowly pushed into her asshole. Once he was fully into her asshole he paused letting Spike push his cock inside of his asshole.


The three of them moved together slowly at first, but soon were all crying in pleasure.


After Spike had pulled out of Angel, and Angel pulled out of Dru, Spike quickly grabbed Angel pulled in to his body and wrapped his hand around his front to grab Angel cock and start pumping it.


Seeing what her Childe was doing, she said, “No my Bad Dog, Mummy wants to be filled, Daddy in her pussy and you in her asshole.


Spike let go of Angel and went to position himself to do as she wanted.


The three of them continued to play well into the night only finding sleep about an hour before sunrise.

Daddy Dearest


Chapter 20


Early the next week, Giles was in the office at the school library when his phone rang. As he picked up the receiver to the phone, he said “Sunnydale High school library, Rupert Giles speaking how my I help you?”


“Yes Rupert, it is Wesley Wynham-price, I am calling to give you the details of when my Slayer Faith and me will be arriving.” Wesley told him over the phone.


“I have been expecting your call,” Giles told Wesley.


“Very well, I have booked us on a flight Friday, we will be arriving, about 3:30 pm Friday night, I hope that time isn’t going to be a problem?” Wesley asked Giles.


“I can’t take time off of work if I have to and have Angel train with Buffy for one night. Now are you flying into Sunnydale or LA?” Giles questioned.


“Angel the Vampire with a Soul, I do say I found it rather surprising when I found out you had him working with you.” Wesley told Giles as he never mentioned where they would be flying into.


“Yes I would imagine you did, now where is it you will be landing so I know where to pick you up?” Giles asked quite annoyed that he had to ask for a second time.


“Oh right sorry, we will be landing in LA.” Wesley told him, before adding “Now I must ring off, Faith will be here shortly.”


“Very well, I will arrange with Angel to do the training that night and meet you for 3:30 pm in LA on Friday.”


“Yes, good bye Rupert.” Wesley said.


“Good bye, Wesley.” Giles said and hung up his phone, just as Jenny walked into his office.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


“Sorry I didn’t know you were on the phone.” She said as she made her way over to him to give him a quick kiss.


“It’s quite alright, I was just talking to the other Watcher he called to tell me where and when to pick him and his charge up.” Giles told her as he took out a notebook to make a note of what he had to do still.


“So does this other Watcher and Slayer have a name?” Jenny questioned.


“Yes quite right, the Watcher’s name is Wesley Wynham-price and the Slayer, I was only told her first name, which is Faith.” Giles told her.


Giving him another quick kiss, she said to him, “I better get back before Snyder sends a search party, since my break is up. I will see you tonight.”


“Very well, see you then.” Giles told her as he went back to what he was doing before the phone call.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


The same time in Wesley’s flat in New York


“I live here so why would I be coming here soon?” Faith asked coming farther into the living room, and sitting down in a chair.


“Well I didn’t want him to know that we were living together yet.” Wesley said to Faith.


“Well doesn’t this Buffy girl, live with her Watcher?” Faith questioned him, she has been living with Wesley for a couple of years now, ever since they had told her she might become the Slayer so she had to start a training schedule with a stuffy old Watcher. What she didn’t tell them is she was happy to be moving in with his man because living on the streets sucked big time.


“No Buffy has a mother she lives with and from what I understand a father that is also in or around Sunnydale.”


“Bummer”


“Well Mr. Giles is also quite a bit older than me, not sure if he would take in a 16 year old girl.”


“She is only 16.” Faith exclaimed.


“Yes I am not sure how she got chosen over you, but it happened.” Wesley explained to Faith.


As she got up from the chair she had sat in, she said to Wesley, “Well I’m off now.”


“And where would you be going?”


“Out don’t worry I won’t forget to patrol.” She said as she left the room.


____________________________________________________________________________________


Later that night, just before sundown, they had all meet in the high school, school library in Sunnydale, Ca.


“Have you heard from the other Watcher yet, Watcher?” Spike asked as he walked into the high school’s library.


“I have but, would like to wait for everyone to come, before I start.”


Just then Willow, Xander, Cordelia and Buffy entered the library.


“Mom said she would be here in a couple of minutes, she got a phone call as she was leaving.” Buffy told everyone as she went and took a seat with her friends.


As Buffy finished talking Angel walked in and grabbed a seat near Spike.


A couple of minutes later, Joyce and Jenny walked in carrying coffee and donuts for everyone, they placed them on the table and both took seats.


“Seems, Jenny had the same idea as I did.” Joyce told everyone as she gestured to the donuts and coffee.


“Alright now that we are all here, could we please get started?” Giles asked getting everyone’s attention.


“Yes, please I still need to patrol.” Buffy told him.


“I don’t have much too actually report, he didn’t tell me much.” Giles informed the group assembled around the libraries table.


“I did receive a phone call from Wesley, which is the other Watchers name, he told me that both him and his Slayer Faith are landing at the LAX airport in LA at 3:30 pm on Friday, and would like me to pick them up. Then he told me that he was expecting his Slayer soon and had to go.” Giles informed the group.


“What, that was all?” Buffy questioned.


“Yes, I guess I will find out the rest when I go and pick him up, I did mention Angel and he said he found it strange a Vampire with a Soul was helping.” Giles explained to everyone.


“Are we done yet?” Cordelia asked with a yawn.


“Yes, Cordelia we are done here.” Giles told everyone.


Getting up Buffy said, “I am going to walk Willow home and then patrol I will meet you in the usual spot,” she said to Angel.


Willow got up and said a quick “Bye everyone,” Then walked out the door with Buffy.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


Thursday night, at Wesley flat, after Faith had patrolled.


As she rolled off of Wesley, Faith said, “So I wonder if the other Slayer’s Watcher gives her a good seeing to like you?”


“Really don’t think so.” Wesley told her as he rolled over to kiss her.


AN: Thanks to Katkin for the idea of having Wesley and Faith together.

Daddy Dearest


Chapter 21


Friday the day that Wesley and Faith were due to arrive, Buffy entered the library that morning and asked Giles, “So when do I have to meet them?” While she thought to herself ‘please don’t say tonight, I don’t really want to interrupt the weekend with Dad to meet the other Watcher and Slayer.’


Seeing the look that crossed his Slayers face, he told her, “Don’t worry you get to have the weekend with your father. You can meet them Monday after school.”


Relief flashed through Buffy’s eyes and on her face before she answered Giles, “Thanks Giles, you are the best.”


“I’m glad you think so.” Giles said to her as he walked behind the counter and moved some more of the things he did not want Wesley to see.


“I get to spend the weekend with Dad and his crew; it is going to be so much fun.” She told him with a smile.


“I am glad you are happy, because we know how hard this is on both of you.” Giles told her, just as Angel walked into the library from the back stacks.


Walking up to Buffy and Giles, he asked, “New Slayer and Watcher arrive today?”


“Yes, I go and retrieve them from the LAX airport for 3:30 pm.” Giles told Angel as he took a seat at the table across from Buffy.


“So do you want me to train with Buffy tonight then?” Angel asked just as Willow, Xander and Cordelia all entered the library from getting their food at the cafeteria.


Buffy first looked at Giles then at Angel before she asked, “Do we really have too? You know I train with Dad all the time and am much stronger than a normal Slayer. Besides I was kind of hoping to get to dad’s early, so we can get on the road if you don’t need me.”


“I didn’t realize you were going anywhere with your father,” Willow said as she sat down beside Buffy at the table.


Smiling at her friends, “Dad decided it had been to long since he brought me to Disneyland so we were talking about going this weekend since we don’t know how much I will be able to spend with him after they arrive.”


“Their being here should not stop you from seeing your father Buffy. I also assume you will not be patrolling this weekend then.” Giles asked hearing for the first time his Slayer had plans to go away.


“Nope Dad is going to have a couple minions patrol for me.” She answered Giles popping the p in nope.


“I do say I am not sure how wise that is, since we have the new Slayer that is most likely also patrolling this weekend, in the future please inform me of any trips that you should wish to take in advance. I will also try to make sure the other Slayer doesn’t patrol this weekend while you are gone.” Giles told her.


“Thanks Giles,” Buffy said as she got up to hug Giles, and throw out her food, before she started to head for the library doors.


Seeing she was getting ready to leave, Giles called to her. “When does you mother get back?”


“Monday afternoon.” Buffy answered as she walked out of the library.


Turning to the other teens, Giles said, “You better get to class too.”


Getting up and also throwing their food out, they said “Bye Giles see you later.” Then they were on their way out of the library.


Looking at Giles after everyone had left; Angel said “Spike never mentioned anything about taking her away?” Then he added, “Do you still want me to patrol while she is gone? We both know Spike sends more than enough out to cover.”


“I will contact Spike and if you don’t hear from me, would you please patrol, for her. I do believe she does need this time off as well, it could get very stressful for her in the next coming weeks.” Giles told Angel.


“Alright if I don’t hear from you I will patrol and stop of at your house later tonight.” Angel told Giles as he stood up from his spot at the table and went to leave.


“Very well, I will see you later.” Giles said to Angel as he left the library.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


Just after 3:30 pm at the LAX airport, Wesley and Faith walked up to where Giles was waiting for them.


“Rupert Giles?” Wesley questioned the man that he had only seen in pictures.


“Yes, and, would you be Wesley and Ms. Lehane?” Giles asked after he was addressed by his full name.


“It’s Faith, not Ms. Lehane.” Faith said letting him hear how annoyed she was at him using her last name.


“My apologies Faith, shall we go and get your things.” Giles said as he started to walk off to the baggage claim, leaving Faith and Wesley to follow.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


An hour had passed on the drive back to Sunnydale, when Faith asked, “So are you going to tell me what B, is like?”


After a couple of minutes he realized that she meant Buffy, and said “She is different than what I, was trained a Slayer should be. She is strong willed, and stubborn. She also needs to be free to do things her way, but she is the strongest Slayer I have ever seen.”


“Then you don’t know anything about me.” Faith told him, hearing what he had just said about his Slayer.


“No I don’t, but it will be a pleasure to get to know you, I do believe it is a first to have 2 official Slayers at once.” Giles suggested to the small group in the car.


“So when do I get to meet B?” Faith then asked.


“We figured you would want the weekend to settle in, so we decided we would have a meeting after school, where you can meet the gang, and Angel as well as Buffy.”


“Angel is a Vampire, how can he get there after school?” Wesley asked after hearing that he would be meeting the Vamp on Monday too.


“Sunnydale has many underground tunnels; he can go anywhere he wants during the day, if he chooses.” Giles informed them.


“B works with a Vampire?” Faith questioned, always being told that they were only for staking.


“Several actually, there are some in Sunnydale that are truly only there to protect the people.” Giles said figuring it might help them understand the roll of Spike’s minions.


“Is that not a little strange that they would we working to stop the Vampires.” Wesley asked being able to understand the Souled Vampire, but not others.


“Their Master would have their head if they let innocents get harmed,” Giles told them not wanting to really tell them if it was Buffy that was harmed, he wasn’t to sure Spike’s thoughts on others getting harmed.


As they pulled into the driveway of the address that Wesley had handed him. Faith asked, “So when should I start patrolling?”


“Monday would be good, Buffy is actually away this weekend, her mother is away so she is with her father, and Angel and the Minions are all out in full force. There are actually less deaths when they are all out, the Master of them must send out about 20 a night and they stay out from sundown to sunrise, I will make sure you eventually meet them when you are ready.” Giles told them.


“Weekend off, so what do you do for fun around her.” She then asked.


“You would have to talk to the teens about that, but I do know of a club called the Bronze.” Giles told her as he helped unload the back of the car.

Daddy Dearest


Chapter 22


Monday afternoon, just as everyone was gathering in the school library, the phone rang.


“Hello, Rupert Giles speaking how may I help you?” Giles said into the phone as he answered it.


“Watcher?” Was all Spike said before he quieted.


“What can I do for you William?” Giles asked Spike using his given name.


“I take it the other Watcher is there, if you are calling me that.” Spike told Giles.


“Yes he is, now how can I help you?” Giles asked wanting to get off the phone and get this meeting over with.


“Right then, I just need you to tell Buffy that her Mother called, and something happened and her flight was cancelled for today something to do with the planes, so she can either come to my place or go home, I would prefer her here though.” Spike added at the end.


“Alright I will tell her and have her go to your house after her patrol tonight or sooner if the meeting isn’t long.” Giles told him.


“I will see about making something for dinner then, one that can be reheated if she wants to eat after her patrol.”


“If that is all, I really must get out and have that meeting now.” Giles told Spike.


“Bye Watcher, talk to you later.” Spike said as he hung up the phone.


“Good-bye William.” Giles said hanging his phone up as well.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


Out in the main part of the library everyone was sitting quietly as they waited for Giles to get of the phone.


As Giles walked back into the main part of the library, he said to Buffy, “That was your father Buffy, it would seem that you are to go back over to his place for the night, since your mothers flight has been delayed.” Then he took a seat at the head of the table.


“Okay.” Buffy said thinking of the extra time she would get to spend with her father.


“Shall we get this meeting started?” Giles asked as he took out some papers both for notes and that had notes on them.


“Please?” Faith asked, there was a Vampire there, she knew it, they said that Angel would be there, but there was something coming from Buffy too and it was bothering her Slayer.


“Very well, I would like everyone to meet, Wesley Wyndam Price and Faith Lehane.” Giles said as he gestured to where they were sitting.


“Hi” Was said though out the room.


“Now I will introduce everyone who is sitting here,” Giles said as he continued. “Starting with Cordelia, she is sitting beside Faith, then you have Xander, Willow, Buffy and Angel, beside him is Jenny, I am known as Giles but we discussed that Friday night.”


“Hey” Was heard in the room as they all greeted each other.


“Now if I am not mistaken, you are older than Buffy is that not correct Faith?” Giles asked her.


“Yes I am already 18 years old.” Faith told him.


“How come I became the Slayer before her?” Buffy questioned when she heard that Faith was 2 years older than her.


“I am not sure, but I have been looking into it, which we can discuss at a later date.” Giles told Buffy as he showed her with his eyes don’t ask anymore questions right now.


“Later date, check, next.” Buffy said letting him know she got his message.


“Is it correct that you have been living and training with Wesley for a couple of years now?” Giles asked Faith.


“Yes.” She answered him.


“I am not sure, how you normally train with your Watcher, but I have recently found it more effective, if I have Buffy train with Angel, she is strong, and having a partner that is equally as strong has been quite an improvement to her training.” Giles told them hoping they would take to his plan to have Angel train Buffy.


“I don’t see a problem with that, as long as he does not bite.” Faith told him.


“I do, you expect me to allow an unknown Vampire into my home and stuff, because you said he has a soul now. He has a reputation after all.” Wesley told him.


“I am not asking you to let him in your home; we use the fields or graveyards for the training. It tends to work better if Buffy has a lot of room; she likes to get into a fight.” Giles informed him.


“I look forward to fighting you.” Faith said to Buffy.


“Like wise.” Was all Buffy said, a little uninterested.


“I guess I could see how it goes, but if I don’t like it, I will let you know.” Wesley told Giles.


“If there is not anything you would like to add, then I believe we should let these children get home for a decent supper at a decent time.” Giles said, making it known he was ready to end the meeting.


“What time do we patrol tonight?” Faith asked.


“7:30pm I will meet you back here for then.” Buffy told her.


“See you then.” Faith said as she got up out of the chair. “I need some air.” She then added, as she left the library.


After a couple of minutes, Wesley got up off his chair and said, “I better, go and see if she is okay.” Then he left the library as well.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


After Wesley left, Xander spoke up “Well that was interesting.”


“Indeed.” Giles added.


“Well did you want a walk home Willow? Before I go to dads.” Buffy asked.


“No, I think I will stay for a few minutes.” Willow told her.


“Kay see you later Giles,” Buffy said as she got up off her seat.


“Do relay to your father, what transpired here today.” Giles suggested to her as she went to leave.


Getting up as well, Angel said to Buffy, “Want me to walk with you to your fathers, we can tell him together.”


“Sure,” Was all Buffy said, as she changed her direction to go through the stacks and tunnels with Angel.


“Bye, Guys” Buffy said as she went into the stacks with Angel.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


Outside the school, Wesley walked up to Faith.


“Is everything okay?” He asked.


“Was getting a senses overload, I can’t imagine how B can do that all the time.” Faith told him.


“What was wrong?” Wesley asked curious.


“Well Angel is a Vampire so the Vamp senses were going off, but B was throwing off something as well, I can’t put my finger on it.” Faith told him.


“I would imagine that she is used to it, and all that.” Wesley told her.


“I guess, can we get out of here before I have to come back and patrol tonight?” Faith asked.


“Just let me go get my things.” Wesley informed her as he walked back into the school.

Daddy Dearest


Chapter 23


3 weeks had passed since, Faith and Wesley arrived in Sunnydale, and Buffy was at her fathers that Sunday night.


“So are your men still going to patrol for me on Friday?” Buffy asked as she sat down to dinner with her father and Dru.


“What about the other Slayer? Would it be safe for my men?” Spike asked letting her know he was not against the idea.


“She is wild I can tell, if we convince her with a night of dancing at the bronze I am sure it will be alright, I will let you know Thursday night.” Buffy told him as she put some meat on her plate.


“If it is safe for my men then yes, I will have them patrol for you.” Spike told her as he also put some meat on his plate, one thing he had noticed about Buffy was she didn’t always eat her meat well done anymore.


“Thanks dad you are the best.” She said as she got up to hug him, before sitting back down to eat.


“I have actually been meaning to ask you something?” Spike told her.


“What, what is wrong?” She asked.


“You tell me, since this other Slayer has come; I have noticed things with you. You are changing more are you not?” Spike asked her.


“Yes,” Was all she said, as she started to eat?


“Would it not be a good idea to tell someone about these changes?” Spike questioned taking a bite to eat as well.


“I would but I don’t know exactly what the changes are.” Buffy honestly told him.


“I suspect your bloodlust has gone up recently.” Spike said with a shrug, as if it didn’t bother him, when inside he was freaked.


“What makes you say that?” Buffy questioned, as she ate a bloody piece of meat.

“Your eating bloody meat and you never really did that before, your mom had mentioned she had to buy blood more often when you are at home.” Spike pointed out to his daughter.


“Patrols are getting harder.” Buffy said without thinking.


“What do you mean harder?” Spike questioned, with an almost angry tone of voice.


“Just that, I can’t use my full strength again, because Faith is with me, I know it was a short time ago we told everyone, but it gave me the out, I can’t now. Every time I go and patrol, she is watching me, like I am some kind of freak. The more energy I put into holding back, the harder it seems to be, and then I need the blood.”


“Does the Watcher know?” Spike asked wondering why he was hearing it for the first time.


“Unless Angel told him about what happened a couple of nights ago no he does not know.” Buffy told him as she continued to eat.


“And what happened a couple nights ago?” Spike asked trying to hold onto his temper.


“Got into a long hard fight with a demon, tired Angel had to take me into a crypt and give me some of his blood.”


“He what?” Spike did yell at that.


“Hey don’t get mad at him, we fought the demon for over an hour, sent Faith off on her own to get her Watcher, so I would be able to release. Then when it was over, I just couldn’t seem to bring the demon back in and needed some help, you would have done it if you were there.”


“Did anyone see?” He asked calming some as Dru put her hand on his arm.


“No by the time we were done, and came out of the crypt, Giles was there, but not Wesley and Faith, then I went home.” Buffy told him.


“I must thank your Watcher for showing up and not the other one.” Spike told her.


“I love you, dad.” Buffy said as she finished eating.


“Love you too, just worry about you is all. Some days I wish I could be with you on patrol, but I do believe we need to contact your Watcher about the news I just heard.” Spike informed her.


“Kay you do that, I need to go to the library to meet Angel and Faith so we can patrol.” Buffy said as she got up and went over to kiss both Spike and Dru.


“Where are you going when you are done patrol tonight?” Spike asked as she left the room, also he had noticed she was over at his place more and more theses days.


“Home is that alright?” Buffy asked as she paused at the door.


“Yes I believe your mother would like to see you too once and a while. I will call your Watcher.” Spike told her as he got up to bring the plates into the kitchen.

Friday night, at the high school library.


“So are you coming with us to the Bronze or not?” Buffy asked Faith as they met her there that night, it had been 3 weeks and she still didn’t have Buffy’s, Willow’s or Xander’s address.


“But what about patrolling?” Faith questioned still not really sure if she should blow of patrolling tonight.


“The Master of Sunnydale’s men do it tonight, once a month or when I am sick they patrol for me. Him and all his men are on pig blood, or sometimes cow blood and believe that we need a night off once in a while.” Buffy informed her.


“And we won’t get in trouble if we blow off patrol for one night?” Faith asked liking the idea more and more.


“Nope Giles knows that the men are out tonight, they called to confirm it.” Buffy told her.


“Well let’s blow this Popsicle stand and go do some dancing.” Faith said as she got up off the table and started out of the library.


Buffy, Willow and Xander with Cordelia followed her out.


_____________________________________________________________________________________


An hour later, the gang was all sitting at a table at the Bronze.


“So who is up for dancing?” Faith asked as Dangerous from Roxette started to play.


Hold on tight,
you know she's a little bit dangerous.
Ooh, just a little bit dangerous.

You pack your bag,
you take control.
You're movin' into my heart
and into my soul.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I won't be walking on thin ice
to get through the night.

Hey, where's your work?
What's your game?
I know your business,
don't know your name.

Hold on tight,
you know she's a little bit dangerous.
She's got what it takes to make ends meet,
the eyes of a lover that hit like heat.
You know she's a little bit dangerous.

You turn around,
so hot and dry.
You're hidin' under a halo,
your mouth is alive.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I'm not attracted to gogo
deeper tonight.

Hey, what's your word?
What's your game?
I know your business,
but I don't know your name.

Hold on tight,
you know she's a little bit dangerous.
She's got what it takes to make ends meet,
the eyes of a lover that hit like heat.
You know she's a little bit dangerous,
ooh, just a little bit dangerous.

Hey, hey, hey, what's your word?
What's your game?
I know your business,
but I don't know your name.

Hold on tight,
you know she's a little bit dangerous.
She's got what it takes to make ends meet,
the eyes of a lover that hit like heat.
You know she's a little bit dangerous.

She's armed and she's extremely dangerous.
She's got what it takes to make ends meet,
the eyes of a lover that hit like heat.
You know she's a little bit dangerous,
ooh, just a little bit dangerous.

Oh, oh oh, hey, where's your work?
Mmm, what's your game?
I don't know your name.
Hey, you!

Chapter 24


3 months later, Buffy walked into the library, just after Faith and Wesley separated from each other on the table.


“Ewe! Can’t you have sex somewhere else Faith?” Buffy asked as she went to the counter and sat down on it.


“Who said I had sex?” Faith questioned still sitting on the table where she and Wesley just had their quickie.”


“Because this place reeks like sex, how do you expect us to get any work down when it is all I can smell.” Buffy told her with disgust in her voice, just as Angel walked into the library.


“Couldn’t wait till after patrol, I see.” Angel said before he walked to Buffy and said to her, “Come with me.”


“Why Giles will be here any minute, then we all need to go and patrol.” Buffy told him.


Angel whispered what he wanted to tell her in her ear, “Humans can not smell sex, unless they are the ones that just engaged it the act.” As he pulled away from her ear he asked only loud enough for her to hear, “Are you going to your fathers house to night?”


“Yes, why?” She asked, Angel just normally showed up at her fathers when he wanted to talk to Spike or Dru.


“Because I am going with you.” He told her quietly.


“You so are not.” Buffy said to him out loud, just as Giles entered the library.


As he walked over to the table and went to lay some books down, he asked “Where are Willow and Xander?”


“Not here yet and you so do not want to set them down there, this place reeks of sex, and it is worse by the table.” Buffy informed him, as she got a poke in her ribs from Angel.


“I high doubt someone would be stupid enough to have sex in a school library.” Giles told her clearly not believing her but, also not wanting to let on if she said it smelled of sex then it must be true. And to be honest he had a feeling that Faith and Wesley were sleeping together, but she was over 18 so he was not going to alert the Council.


Speaking up in Buffy’s defence, just as Willow and Xander walked into the library, “Actually Giles, this place does have a recent joining of scents from Faith and Wesley.”


Xander was starting to sit at the table when Angel finished talking he said, “I think I will just go sit over here,” Then he went to the stairs in the library to sit down.


“Eek me too,” Willow say following Xander.


“Now look what you did B, got your friends all scared to sit at the table with me. Besides I am 18 so what does I matter if I have sex with Wesley?” Faith asked as she hoped of the table.


“I expect you to clean that table so we can all start our research and I don’t think I need to tell you not to do it again. I will be talking to both of you later about it as well.” Giles said while he waited for Faith to clean the table.


Complaining, Faith spat, “And what did you do when Buffy decided it was would fun to play in the graveyard with her little friend over there.”


“Oh Dad took care of that one, besides it is none of your business what happened there.” Buffy said angrily to Faith, as she brought up something that happened a month ago, and was just an experiment to help out Willow.


“Alright everyone we, need to get back to the reason we are all here again.” Giles said to everyone after Faith finished washing the table.


“Gee Giles, take a chill pill will you, we will all research what you want us too.” Faith said as she sat at the table.


Finally putting his books on the table, he said “Grab a seat and a book everyone and lets get started it is getting late and Buffy, Faith and Angel still need to patrol.”

One week later, when Quentin Travers reads the latest report that Wesley has sent him of Buffy Summer.


As my investigation into Miss Summer’s continues, I have noticed some things, she has a very high liking for Vampire’s there are many she communicates with on a weekly bases and I have heard rumours that William the Bloody might be in Sunnydale. There is nothing to confirm or dismiss this rumour, but when mentioning it to Mr. Giles and Buffy they did not seem worried. She seems to have some Vampire tendencies starting to show, it is my intention to continue to watch her, but it is possible something did happen when the Master, killed her last year.

Wesley.


Getting on his phone, he said, “Roger, get a team together and head out to Sunnydale, we need to investigate this late report you son has sent us.”


“Right away sir.” Roger Pryce tells Quentin.


_______________________________________________________________________________


2 days later, Spike comes bursting through the library just after lunch.


“William what are you doing here?” Giles asked as he came out of his office when he saw who it was.


“Watcher, my team in England has been alerted to the Council making its way to Sunnydale, we need to collect the children and hide.” Spike informed him.


“You know this isn’t a very safe place for you or Buffy if Wesley sees you and he will be here any minute.” Giles told him.


“Don’t care Watcher, I am not leaving till, I take my Daughter and you call all meet us at the house.” Spike yelled at Giles, just as Wesley walked in.


“William the Bloody, I take it the rumours are true then of you being in Sunnydale since you are standing right here.” Wesley said as he walked into the library.


“Oh balls, I will take my daughter and go, you can meet us.” Spike tells Giles.


“Let’s just go to my office.” Giles suggested.


Giles followed Spike into his office protecting his back from Wesley in case Wesley decided to do anything.


Once in the office, Giles closed the door and said to Spike “You need to remain calm, I will page the children from class and we will all leave together, they all have some stuff at your place and we can always buy what they need. Do you understand me?” Giles questioned as he paged the children.


“Please I just want her safe.” Giles said.


____________________________________________________________________________________


5 Minutes later, Buffy, Willow, Xander and Cordelia all walked into the library, when he saw his daughter he enclosed her in his arms, and quietly said, “We need to leave.”


Nodding to her father, she starts to walk out of the library with everyone but Wesley following close behind, Jenny meet them as they were in the hall and took up the end with Giles.
