AN: This story gives you a choice of who's point of view (P.O.V) you wanna read. The chapters will be labeled like chapter 1 (Spike) or chapter 1 (Buffy). You get my point? Just in case you don't the person's name in parentheses is who's P.O.V it's from.

She tells me,

"I love you." But I just say,

"No, you don't. . . But thanks for saying it." I feel another tremor run through the ground and tell her,

"Now, go, Pet. I'm gonna see how it all ends." I try, for her sake to stay strong. The last thing I expected was for her to grab the collar of my duster and drag me out. She dragged me to the door and then we both realized, it's daylight. I'll never make it. She says,

"Spike, I'm gonna go get that vehicle, so you don't burn. If the building starts coming the rest of the way down, run for cover." I tell her,

"Ok, Luv." She sprints to a convertible, yellow, 65 fastback, mustang. I'm just standing there wondering,

"How did that get there?" Then Buffy pulls up to me and I hurry and jump in, surprised to see that the windows were already blacked out. She must have been able to tell cause she said,

"I had Giles leave it here, he got the money from the council and bought this. I told him, leave it, cause if I make it I want it. I also told him to black out the windows. I said, Spike will be with me, so block out the windows. I don't want the one I love to burn. Of course this surprised him, but he did it anyways." It surprised me too. She told her father figure, that hates me, she was in love with me? And before she told me? She must have meant it. All I could say was, "Oh." She giggled at that and said,

"Yeah, it's true. I also told Angel you were in my heart. He wasn't to happy about that, but that night I found out, I don't just have you in my heart, I love you." I told her,

"I love you, too, Buffy." She must have been really happy, because she slid over to my seat, into my lap, and kissed me long and hard. It was the first kiss like this. It was actually passionate and full of love. We felt another tremor run through the ground and we both straightened up. She told me,

"You should drive, I can't drive very well." I nodded and slid over to the driver seat. I got us out of Sunnyhell right as the bus was stopping and everything was falling. She gets out and quickly closes the door, so I don't get burned. I watch as she runs to Dawn. Dawn and her both walk back to where I'm still sitting in the car. Dawn gets in the back seat and Buffy gets in the front. Dawn crawls through the middle and gives me a big hug. She pulled Buffy into the hug and for just a moment, we were just four normal people. Then Xander opened the door, not knowing I was in there. We all freaked out, but then I realized something. I wasn't burning. I cautiously put my hand outside. It didn't burn. I stepped outside. Nothing happened. That's when I realized something else. I could bring my demon to the front, but my heart was beating. I ran to Buffy then said,

"Buffy, put your hand over my heart." She must really trust me cause she did.

"Spike?" was all she said

"Yeah, Luv. Still me, but I don't know how this is happening." I answered her unfinished question.

"Wow. This is. . . amazing." she said it like she was still thinking how to word it.

"What is amazing?" asked Dawn.

"Yeah, Buff. We wanna know." said Xander. Then everyone else walked over to see what all the commotion was about. I looked over at Buffy and said,

"Go ahead and tell them."

"Spike's alive! He still has his demon and enhanced hearing and strength, but his heart is beating." She said, and I smiled at her enthusiasm about me being a normal guy, with vampire powers. Everyone had to cover their ears, because of the squeal everyone heard come from Dawn. She must have been really happy. Dawn, Buffy, and I got back in the mustang, while everyone else got back on the bus. We drove to L.A. Then we stopped at a hotel Angel had, that he said we could all stay in. Buffy picked us a room where nobody else was around. The hotel became very quiet. We figured everyone was asleep, except us. Buffy turned over and asked,

"Now that your heart is beating, do you think just maybe, you'd be able to have kids?" I answered with a honest,

"I dunno, Luv. Maybe." She asked,

"Do you wanna find out?" And I couldn't say no.

"Of course, Luv."
