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.
