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.
