YEARS LATER

By Spuffy

Chapter 2

This chapter continues right where I left off with the last chapter.

"So this man is my dad?" Isabel asked as she walked into the room towards her mother.

"Ya, this is him" Buffy replied.

"Why didn't you tell me Buffy was you're mum?" Spike asked Isabel.

"Do you really want me going around and telling strange vampires where the slayer is?" Isabel scoffed.

"You two have already met?" Buffy questioned.

"Sort of" Isabel replied. 'Oh god she's going to find out that I snuck out last night'

"I didn't think you went patrolling last night" Buffy said.

"I only did a quick sweep, before going to bed" Isabel replied.

"Was Adam with you?" Buffy asked.

"No I didn't see him" Isabel lied. 'I only spent the night making out with him'

"Good, you know I don't want you to see him anymore" Buffy said.

"I know mom, you've only told me a million times" Isabel sighed.

"I just want you to be safe" Buffy said "And believe dating a vampire never ends well" she added.

"Hey!" Spike excliamed "I'm still here"

HONK HONK

"That's my ride" Isabel siad as she kissed her mother on the cheek and gave Spike a quick hug.

"Don't do anything I would do" Isabel laughed.

"Where are you going?" Buffy asked her daughter.

"To the bronze with Skye, Heather, Katie, and Alex"Isabel replied as she grabbed her coat and ran out the door.

"Who are the people she's going with?" Spike asked wanting to know as much possible about his daughter.

"Skye and Heather are Willow and Oz's daughter. Katie is Faith's daughter. Alex is Xander and Anya's son" Buffy replied.

"Are they all the same age as Isabel?" Spike asked.

"All except for Heather. She's a year younger, but she still hangs out with them" Buffy replied.

"Are they good kids?" Spike asked.

"Sometimes I question the things they do, but in general I don't think they're that bad" Buffy replied in a motherly tone.

"God there are so many things that I missed" Spike sighed "I wish I could have been there with you" he added.

"I can show you pictures and home videos, it you want" Buffy suggested.

"Ya luv, that'd be great" Spike replied.

Buffy went over to a cupboard and grabbed a few picture albums and home videos. She settled herself beside Spike on the couch and opened one of the photo albums.

"This is me when I was pregnant" Buffy laughed when she saw the picture of herself standing on the front porch with her shirt lifted up, to show a very swollen abdomen.

"You were beautiful" Spike said as he ran his finger across the picture.

"Were?" Buffy joked.

"You know what I mean" Spike replied.

The next picture was one of Buffy, Faith, Willow and Anya all standing in a row with their shirts lifted to show their pregnant abdomen.

"It must have been nice having your friends pregnant at the same time" Spike stated.

"Ya, it almost seemed like as soon as I got pregnant so did everyone else. I liked it cause I had someone to talk to about pregnancy things" Buffy replied.

Buffy flipped the page and smiled. There was a picture of her holding Isabel and William the day they were born.

"They were so tiny" Spike exclaimed at the sight of the new born babies.

"I know, I was afraid that I was going to crush them" Buffy laughed.

Buffy flipped the page again and there was a picture of Isabel and William being put in their car seats to be taken home from the hospital.

"Xander and Anya drove us home from the hospital" Buffy explained the picture.

"I remember the ride, all Anya did was complain. She was 9 months pregnant with Alex, their first child" Buffy sighed.

"It's hard to imagine the whelp with kids" Spike said.

"He's really good with them, especially the youngest, Carlie. They're like best friends" Buffy replied.

"I wish I could have been here while Isabel and William were growing up" Spike sighed and Buffy was pretty sure she saw a tear in his eye.

"Just promise me you'll be here from now on" Buffy asked.

"I promise" Spike replied.

And then Buffy and Spike shared a passionate kiss.
