~~~~~
The Fifth Month
~~~~~



Spike came full awake when he felt Buffy suddenly
sit up in bed beside him.

Reaching with one hand, he gently rubbed her
back. "Whass wrong, baby?" he asked, his voice slurred
from sleep.

Buffy just looked at him, not speaking, but he recog-
nized the look on her face.

"You hungry, sweetie?"

She nodded, embarrassed by her seemingly un-
ending appetite.

"Want me to get you something?"

"Yes, please," she said, a polite little girl.

Spike smiled. "What sounds good?"

"I was thinking about...ice cream?"

"No sooner said." He climbed out of bed and pulled
on his jeans, not bothering with a shirt. "Chocolate,
chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip," he recited, "or
that godawful crap with the bubble gum in it?"

Buffy nodded and licked her lips. "Yum."

He waited to hear her selection. "Which one?"

Her eyes narrowed. "Which ONE?"

There was a pause. "Oh! Right!" He leaned over the
bed to kiss her. "Sorry, babe. Dunno what came over
me." He took her right hand and kissed her fingers. "Be
back sooner than trouble, baby face."

His hand was on the doorknob when she stopped
him.

"And maybe...a couple of cookies?"

"And cookies," he nodded.

"Peanut butter."

"I know."

"Oh! And a..."

"Glass of milk," they said simultaneously.

"Yes," she smiled, her eyes sparkling with good
humor.

As he was standing in the kitchen, scooping immense
portions of ice cream into a large mixing bowl, Dawn
wandered in, yawning and sleepy eyed. "Is she hungry
AGAIN?"

Spike shrugged. "She's eating for two."

Dawn snorted and rolled her eyes. "She's eating for
twelve!"

"Yeah..well.." He opened the cupboard and reached
for a glass. "Milk," he requested.

Dawn opened the refrigerator. "Regular or chocolate?"

"The usual."

"One of each?"

"Mm-hmm." He placed a second glass beside the first
one.

Dawn carried the milk upstairs, while Spike followed
with the ice cream and a bag of cookies.

Nudging the door open with her shoulder, Dawn
went in first, then stopped so abruptly that Spike
nearly bumped into her.

They stood there, side by side, watching Buffy
sleep, her arms wrapped tightly around her pillow.

Spike looked at Dawn. "Want some ice cream?"
