Since the beginning of man kind there has been vampires, and when vampires
came so did the Slayer. One girl in the entire world, she was meant to
stand up to them alone. But one Slayer wasn't gonna do it that way.
Buffy Summers had cheated death twice. The first time she had been
bitten by the Master and thrown into a puddle of water left to die.
Which she did, her best Friend Xander Harris saved her with mouth to
mouth. Then she died saving the world from Hell taking over. Several
months later Xander, Willow Rosenberg, Anya Johnson and Tara McClay.
Buffy was not like the other Slayers. She had friends, who were
demons, and friends who were ex-demons, and boyfriends who were
vampires. One in which who had been cursed with a soul; he could not
be given one moment of happiness it would be taken away. And that
happened when she lost her virginity to him. His soul was then taken
way. It was later restored. After Buffy graduated he left for Los
Angeles.
The other Boyfriend Spike was much different. He set out to get his
soul to show Buffy how much he really loved her. He also showed it by
saving the world, letting the energy kill him.
Buffy had every Potential Slayer a Slayer. She was no longer the
Chosen One, but she hadn't been for about four years previous. Her
name was Faith; she was jailed for accidental murder of a man then
murder for another. She broke out to help Buffy save the world, yet
again.
Since Sunnydale went down with the ship. Buffy moved to a small county
in Salem, Mass. Spike had been resurrected and given a gift. He was
able to walk in light but not in the middle of the day, he had to
rest. The sum sucked the life out of him. He then returned to Buffy
where they had gotten married. Buffy was training new young Slayers.
But there was one she never thought would be possible...
"You're showing him your moves." Buffy said to a young new Slayer. She
had one leg hanging over the are rest of the lawn chair she brought
with her on patrol. She wasn't slaying tonight, the newbie was. She
held her head up with her left hand. "You're dropping your shoulder.
He can anticipate what you're doing."
The young girl was winning the fight, but her moving was not in the
gold medal category.
"Ok hold on!" Buffy said getting up from her lawn chair.
The slayer and vamp stopped and looked at her. She came up to the
vamp.
"Ok now I want you to pull a move on me and I have to block it. Ready,
set, go."
The vamp took his chance to run.
"God I hate it when they run." Buffy said. She looked at the girl's
stake. "Can I borrow that?" She grabbed it and through it at the
vampire hitting him dead in the center of the back turning him into
dust.
"Ok Rachel your base is Tampa Bay, Florida." Buffy handed her a slip
of paper.
"Yes!" the girl was excited. "Thanks for the help Buffy."
"Anytime."
The girl ran down the street.
"And lay low on the boozes! Remember don't drink and slay!" She called
after her.
Buffy turned around and headed home.
When she got home all of the lights were out. She unlocked her door
and closed it behind her. She then was tackled to the ground by a
figure.
"Ow!" Buffy was taken by surprise. "What the hell!" She got up and
turned the lights on. She saw that it was her husband that had pinned
her to the floor. "God, Spike what's wrong with you?"
"Sorry. I didn't know it was you." He said staying on the floor.
"Who did you think it was? Mr. Stevenson next door?"
Spike shrugged. "I thought you were training with Rachel?"
"She's on her way to Tampa. Ow that really hurt."
"Like I said I didn't know it was you." He said getting on his feet.
"So how did it go?"
"Well her training punches are weak, but her watcher will fit her for
that. But we are here alone." Buffy pointed out with a smile on her
face.
"What were you thinking?" He said wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Well it has been a while since.we did that." She said looking up into
his eyes.
"Well let's do that." He smiled at the opportunity he was getting.
"Great, we are all out of wood so if you could chop some then I'll go
to the store and get the movie for us to watch." She went for her
purse. "Love you."
The smile left Spike's face.
"Wait a minute, that's not what I had in mind."
Buffy ignored him and shut the door.
"Oh come on now!" Spike called. He knew she wouldn't walk back inside
so he went out back of the house to get wood.
Buffy walked up and down the horror wall. She tried to pick between
the Wishmaster and Jeepers Creepers. She came across one she hadn't
seen before. She read the title of the film. It read Dark Sunnydale.
She grabbed the tape and Jeepers Creepers and a box of popcorn and got
in line.
The kid behind the counter took the movies and popcorn to ring up.
"Dark Sunnydale is a great movie. The Fx in it is great. I mean we are
talking blood and gore. It's based on a true story you know. The film
maker lived there before it went under."
Buffy was quite.
"I lived there. For seven years." She stated.
The kid grew a smile on his face. "That's so cool. What was it like?"
Buffy grabbed the movies and popcorn.
"Dark." She said and then went to leave but stopped and turned around.
"Who made the movie? Do you know?"
"Yeah her name was Faith Wood."
Buffy's eyes widened. "Is there a picture?"
"On the back of the box."
Buffy went back to the wall and flipped the box over and saw the
picture of Faith. The Slayer she had left four years ago.
"How much for the movie?" Buffy asked.
When Buffy got home Spike was still outside. She then went into the
study and put the movie in a key locked cabinet. She opened it and
placed the movie in it locking it when she shut the door. She ran
upstairs and into the junk room. She put the key in an old jewelry
box. She then heard Spike come inside.
"Buffy? You home?" Spike called from the kitchen downstairs.
She answered back.
"I'm up here!" She called. "I'll be down in a minute!" Buffy closed
the door and went into the bedroom making her way into the walk-in
closet. She put a pair of pink and green stripped capri pajama bottoms
on and a white tank top. She noticed Spike's side of the closet. It
was all black clothes, a little red and one blue shirt. And there hung
his favorite leather duster he had taken from Robin Wood's mother when
he killed her. She was one of the two Slayers he had killed in the
past. She went into the bathroom and on the bathroom counter were
black nail polish and a bleaching kit. For the first time in a long
time she noticed how much of opposites she was from her husband. She
liked color in her clothes and light fingernail polish and her natural
hair color. She was lost in a gaze of the differences. So much in fact
that she didn't notice Spike standing in the doorway.
"Buffy, you alright?"
'What?" She came out of the trance
"Are you alright?" He asked concerned.
"Yeah I was just daydreaming."
Spike placed his forearm against the side of the doorway.
"About what?" He asked.
"To tell you the truth, I was think about you."
"Nothing else? Just me?"
"Yeah, I got Jeepers Creepers and some popcorn. The movies on the
stand in the hall if you get that I'll make the popcorn." Buffy passed
Spike in the doorway to get away from the conversation. Spike let it
go.
When Buffy got to the kitchen she grabbed a beer from the fridge which
she never drank. Putting the popcorn in the microwave. She turned
around and saw the wedding picture of them on the fridge. Next to it
was a picture of them at dinner. The close up on their faces showed
the love then had. Spike had his arms around her and his chin to her
temple. She couldn't remember where the photo was taken. She tried to
think.
Spike came in from the living room and wrapped his arms around her
waist. She held his hands.
"Where was this taken? Do you remember?" she asked her blonde haired
husband.
He studied the picture. "Canada." He started.
"Canada? Really?" She asked.
"Yeah remember it was our two year anniversary at that Japanese
restaurant where you ate the bad Sushi and got food poisoning and we
spent the whole weekend in the hotel room."
"Oh yeah. That was a night to remember." She put a smile on her face
at the memory.
The microwave beeped. But Buffy didn't move. She was basking in the
loving arms of Spike. Spike let go of Buffy but held her hand as he
got the popcorn out.
"What do you say we go watch our scary movie?" He pulled her out of
the kitchen. She didn't fight it. He plopped down on the couch pulling
Buffy towards him. "Come here beautiful."
She smiled and fell down in his arms. There was a silence.
"Baby, have you ever, you know thought about having or trying to have
a baby? I'm only Asking because Slayers weren't meant to have babies
and well I'm not the only Slayer anymore so I thought well maybe it's
time."
Spike searched for an answer.
"You really want to have a baby? As in a smaller version of us?" He
questioned.
"You think it's a bad idea?" She frowned.
"No but sweetie Vampire's aren't equipped with the minnows in the
pond."
"What do you mean? You don't like minnows? What?"
Buffy had a smile on her face.
"Babe, Vampire's aren't.how do I put this.fertile. Most of us don't
have sex much less then get married or have a baby. Do you
understand?"
Buffy wasn't ready to give up on this subject.
"Well you know they can fix that, the can see if your pals are
working."
"You're not talking about-"
Buffy stopped him.
"I booked an appointment for 8:00 to see Dr. Jovovich."
"What! You made an appointment with a sperm doctor so he can see if my
fish swim upstream?"
"Why are you so mad about this?"
"Because Buffy! You didn't even ask if it was ok with me.
"Well are you?"
"NO!"
"So you don't want to have a baby?"
"I never said that."
"But it was what you were thinking."
Spike didn't have a comeback.
"The movies starting." Spike said turning his head to the TV.
Buffy sat on the other end of the couch. After about five minutes she
got up.
"Where are you going?" Spike asked.
"To bed I don't feel like a movie right now." She said as she went
upstairs.
Spike went back to watching the movie.
Buffy stopped at the end of the stairs. She felt warm tears build in
her eyes. She blinked and they ran down her face. She took in a deep
breath and went into the bedroom then laid down. She cried a river in
her pillows.
Little did she know Spike saw her crying at the bottom of the stairs.
He went up the stairs and into the bedroom. She saw him and turned
over turning her back to him. He approached the bed they had shared
for the past four years. He crouched down to be eye level with her,
even though he faced the back of her head.
"I'm sorry I yelled earlier. I didn't mean to hurt you, you know. If
it means that much to you having a baby I'll go see Dr. Jovivch. Under
one condition"
Buffy rolled over. Her face wet with fresh tears.
"Really you'll do that for me, for us?"
"Yeah, under one condition." He said wiping the tears off of her red
face.
"What's that/' She asked as she sniffled. "That you're with me the whole time. Every step of the way." "That not so hard," She reached for him and kissed him. He got in bed and held her close. The clock read 9:30. "Did you set the alarm for 8:00?" "You bet." And they both fell fast asleep.
Buffy woke up to the sound of the alarm. It was 6:30. She had a half-hour to get done in the shower. She felt as though she hadn't slept in days. She didn't even hear Spike come into the bathroom. He shed his green Hawaiian boxers and steeped in the shower with her. "Hey is there going to be any hot water left?" "I don't know, all I've accomplished is getting wet." She said as she turned around facing her dry husband. "Well we need to keep moving" Spike reached for the shampoo and poured some into his hand then rubbed it into Buffy's long golden locks, making a white coat of sweet smelling bubbles. She turned around her back to him. He continued to massage her head. She moved his hands from her head and took some of the soap from his hands and proceeded to wash his hair. "Multi tasking are we?" Spike said. "Looks like." He gave her a hug. "Pretty soon we may have a baby." "Pretty soon you maybe a daddy. How does it feel Mr. Maybe daddy?" "Good. But we have to hurry or we'll be late.
