I Love You in a Dream. This is just a fic I just did in Myspace and decided to put in here and its the whole version. It's all my stuff, well, except for the Buffy stuff. I know you'll like it. If you've seen the movie Overboard with Goldie Hawn, then you'll see it's sort of like that, except he is not taking advantage of her. Check it out. It's my fave couple. You know who they are.
Buffy comes home from a hard night's slay. She is aching everywhere and all she wants to do is take a nice, hot shower. Buffy heads upstairs and enters the bathroom. She then sees next to the bath tub one of those bubble bath bottles. Buffy ignores the letter next to it and turns on the water. Then she pours some of the contents of the bubble bath into the tub.
"I look like hell," says Buffy as she takes a look at herself in the mirror. After a while, she could already feel the heat of the water and the scent of the bubble bath, strawberry, and it filled the room as the mirror begins to fog up. Buffy turns over to the tub and shuts the faucet off. She then takes off her clothes and dips herself into the tub. "Hmmm, this feels good." She then takes a look at the letter and reads it.
"Happy Birthday, Buffy. I know you need your relaxation time and I saw this at the store and I thought of you. Hope you enjoy a nice bubble bath. Love, Xander."
Buffy smiles at the letter and puts it away from the tub. She then begins to rub her arms with a puffa. Then she begins to drift away into her own little world. As she closes her eyes, everything becomes a blur. She quickly opens her eyes and looks around the room and sees it completely different.
There are candles all around and they smell of vanilla, her favorite. She then hears someone knock on the door. Her eyes widen and she almost jumps out of the tub.
"I'm coming in.," says the person outside the door, whom she is supposed to know. The knob begins to move and Buffy wraps her arms around herself. She recognizes the voice.
"Xander?"
Xander enters the bathroom in a blue bathrobe. Buffy is completely freaked out and very angry at Xander for entering her bathroom while she is bathing. She has her hands around herself, trying to cover up.
"Xander, what are you doing in here? I thought I locked that door, "says Buffy.
"You never lock the door, Buffy, "says Xander.
Buffy sees Xander walk closer to her and he begins to take his robe off. Buffy shuts her eyes. Before she knows it, Xander is in the tub with her. Buffy opens her eyes and is still freaking out. She is in a bathroom that doesn't look like her bathroom, it looks bigger and prettier and the tub is like a whirlpool. Then Xander gets in the tub with her, naked and she is naked and she has no idea why.
Buffy tries to pull herself away from Xander. She pulls her knees up and grabs hold of them with her arms.
"Xander," says Buffy. "What are you doing? Could you get out? Please."
"Why are you so freaked out?" asked Xander. "Are you still mad because I ate the last doughnut? Come on, Buff, I'll get you more in the morning."
Buffy gulps and lifts her hand up, noticing on her left hand, ring finger, a wedding band. Her eyes widen at the sight. She is still pulling away from Xander, but now is even more freaked out.
"This has to be a dream."
"Oh, so you're dreaming, are you?"
Buffy looks at him strangely.
"This isn't happening. You're my best friend."
"Buffy, I am." Xander tries to move closer to her, but she splashes water at him. He stops and stays where he is. "Maybe you hit your head or something and you don't remember."
"No, I remember everything, this is not right. I don't usually get into bathtubs with my best friends."
"You want me to go?"
"Yes." Buffy says this in a meek voice.
"Okay." Xander stands up and gets out of the tub.
Buffy looks away as he is doing that. She then looks at him as he ties his bathrobe. Buffy sees that he is a little upset.
"Xander, please don't be upset."
"What do you expect from me, Buffy? We're married and we do this everyday when you come home from patrol."
"We do?"
"What happened on patrol? How could you forget about us?"
"I didn't mean to, Xander. I…this is not my house."
"Yes, it is. We bought this house together, Buffy. Four bedroom, four bathrooms."
"I don't know this."
Xander sighs and turns away from her. He passes his hand through his hair and turns around to her. Xander sees that she is distressed and really sees everything around her as foreign.
"Could I have a towel?"
Xander goes over to get her robe that is hanging on the door, then he gets a towel and puts it next to the tub. He puts the pink robe on the toilet seat and leaves the bathroom.
Buffy watches him as he closes the door. She then starts to get up from the tub and wraps the towel around her. Buffy looks at herself in the mirror and she realizes that she is a little older and her breasts are bigger. She unwraps herself and looks at them.
"I had a boob job for Xander?" She looks at herself strangely as she covers them back up again.
"Mommy mommy, William's chasing me," says a little girl with blonde pigtails on Buffy's right leg. A little boy enters, wearing a mask and growling.
"Where did you two come from?" asks Buffy. "Did you just call me mommy?"
"Mommy, you're silly."
Xander finds the kids at last and looks at Buffy, who is very disoriented. She has kids with Xander. Two very adorable kids. Her eyes start to get watery.
"Kids, go get ready for bed, okay?" says Xander.
"But the monster is going to get me, Daddy," says the little girl as she runs over to Xander. Xander quickly picks her up.
"No one will ever get you, sweetie," says Xander with a smile as he kisses his little girl on the cheek. "Come on; give mommy some time to get dressed." Xander gets the kids out of the bathroom and closes the door.
Buffy's head is spinning. She has kids with Xander Harris, her best friend. The friend who has always loved her, probably all the days that he has known her. She begins to cry and sits down. Buffy lays her head on her knees with her hands.
Then she hears a knock at the door and lifts her head up. Her face is tear stricken.
"Just a minute," says Buffy. She quickly dries herself and puts her pink robe on. Buffy wipes her tears and walks over to the door, opening it slowly. "Hi."
"The kids want to say goodnight to you," says Xander.
"How many do we have?"
"Just two."
"Oh. What are their names?"
"The boy is William and the little girl is Joy."
"I like the names."
"You picked them out."
Buffy bites her lower lip and comes out of the bathroom. Xander leads her to William's room first. Buffy sits down on the bed and she looks at Xander for some advice to tell her what she does. She looks at the kid and tries not to show fear because she knows they can sense it pretty easy.
"Goodnight, William," says Buffy as she touches his brown hair, then she kisses him on the top of his head and covers him up.
"Goodnight, Mom," says William. "I love you."
Buffy gasps at his words and puts her hands over her mouth.
"I love you, too." She gets up from the bed and leaves the room. Xander turns off the light.
"Goodnight, little slugger," says Xander. He exits the room and closes the door. Then he sees Buffy next to the door, crying hysterically. He quickly hugs her to comfort her.
"Why can't I remember?" says Buffy.
