"Okay listen up sits, inspection by the state tomorrow and it decides
whether or not I can keep William and if things are all right for Dawn, so
I need your help", stated Buffy as she walked into the living room
"What can we do, little William's a sweet kid and doesn't deserve to be put in the system", replied Rona
"Same for me what do you need", added Kennedy
"Sits we need all the stakes and weapons out of sight, Xander I need you to set up the spare room to look like a childs, Willow I hate to ask but could you conger some clothes and toys, I need to get William and Spike presentable", stated Buffy to the offers of help
"No problem Buffy we know how much William and Spike mean to you", said Willow then she exited the room
"Sure I'll fix the little nipper some furniture but what are you going to do about all of the sits", asked Xander
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Dawny, happy birthday to you, you look like a monkey and you smell like one too", sang Spike and William as they came in carrying birthday signs and the sits sleeping bags
"Don't you remember Dawns birthday is next week and I surprised her by having her old camp friends fly out for a three day sleep over", smiled Buffy as she watched Spike put up a banner saying Happy Birthday Dawn
"So what camp did we go to", asked Amanda as everyone started grabbing up the weapons
Seven AM
"Hello again Mrs. Summers", stated Mrs. Kroeger as Buffy opened the door to let the social workers in
"Nice to see you again, how are you feeling", asked Buffy fighting the urge to laugh
"Mrs. Summers, my name is Mrs. Jones I'm Williams case worker and I'm also here to make sure Dawn is continuing to stay well even with her grades being average again", stated Mrs. Jones who was to the side of Mrs. Kroeger
"I just want to say sorry for the mess but we've been having a birthday slumber party for Dawn", said Buffy as they walked past the living room that was covered in sleeping bags
"Oh yes her birthday is next Wednesday", replied Mrs. Jones as she shuffled through a pile of papers
"How is William taking the sudden lack of attention", asked Mrs. Kroeger
"What do you mean lack of attention he's getting ten times more attention, the girls think he's adorable and he's a little flirt", laughed Buffy as the two women followed her into the kitchen
"Hi Buffy could you get everyone to come in and eat", asked Willow who was working over the stove at a pile of pancakes
"Sure, no prob Wills", stated Buffy
"I just noticed this but why are all the blinds closed", asked Mrs. Jones
"Oh I thought you knew, my husband has a very rare disease that makes him unable to go out in the direct sunlight so we keep the blinds closed during the day", replied Buffy as they walked out on the porch
"How sad", replied Mrs. Jones as Buffy opened the back door to expose the chaos that was going on
"Come one William get the ball in the goal", laughed Dawn as everyone was out playing soccer
"I dit it, I dit it", laughed William as he made the goal
"Why to go little one you can be on my team any day", laughed Rona
"So that leaves the Apocalypse Stumpers with 6 and the Cross Carry with 9", stated Spike sitting on the porch in the shade with a baseball cap pulled low over his eyes
"Come on gang foods ready", replied Buffy as she stood on the porch with the two social workers
"Thanks Buffy", replied Dawn as everyone headed in the door
"Yoh Buffster are these the case workers", asked Xander as he sat on the opposite side of the porch from Spike
"Yah there here to make sure little Williams safe", answered Buffy as William stood behind her
"Please don't take me away, I like it here and Miss. Buffy and Mr. Spike are really nice, so please don't take me away", whimpered William as he held tight to Buffys leg
"It's okay William they will see nothings the matter here so calm down and everything will be okay", comforted Buffy as she took William in her arms
"Come on Little Nibblet, you're not going any where and you're going to live here happily ever after with us and Nibblet", added Spike as he stood up and patted the childs back
"They're right why don't you get something to eat and we'll just talk to Buffy and William and if everything's okay he can stay with you", replied Mrs. Jones as she walked up to the three
"Come on Munch I'll take you inside and we'll leave Buffy and Spike to talk", stated Xander as he took the boy from Buffy and walked into the house
"The child has become very attached to you in such a short period of time, why do you think that is", asked Mrs. Kroeger
"May be because of the trouble he had with his first foster father Jason, now William doesn't have to worry about being beat on a daily basis", replied Buffy as they walked into the now empty kitchen
"That is understandable. Amazingly for the amount of people visiting you apparently have a clean and well stocked house but may we see Williams room", asked Mrs. Jones
"Of course, follow us", replied Buffy and to that they followed her up the stairs
"So out of the three bedrooms who stays in each", asked Mrs. Jones as they walked through the hall
"Buffy and I share the far bedroom, Dawn stays in the middle room, while William had this one", answered Spike as they entered Williams room
"Lets see baby blue walls, wooden bunk bed with a desk at the bottom, dresser fully stocked with close, normal amount of toys", stated Mrs. Jones as she examined the room
"Things seem a lot better then the magic weed you had last time", replied Mrs. Kroeger
"Magic weed", asked Mrs. Jones
"Last time Mrs. Kroeger was here I had two friends of mine living here who were practicing wiccas and Mrs. Kroeger miss understood thinking they were drugs", answered Buffy
"What happen to your friends, they don't still live here", asked Mrs. Jones
"Some psycho was out on the streets and started shooting, Tara was killed which caused Willow to kind of loose it", answered Spike
"What do you mean loose it and is it the woman who was make Breakfast", asked Mrs. Kroeger
"She went in a dark depression, Tara was her true love and she was killed, Willow spent some time in England getting back to the harmony of Wicca and now she's back and half way normal", stated Buffy as they walked out of the bedroom
"You may have a strange group of friends, what makes you think this is a good environment for William", asked Mrs. Jones as they walked down the stairs to the living room
"C-R-A-D-L-E, cradle", laughed William as he knelt on the couch while Willow was cleaning up the sits sleeping bags
"Ah lets see D what starts with D", asked Willow then she started dancing around the room
"D-A-N-C-E, dance, another", giggled William
"You can already spell William", asked Mrs. Kroeger
"Show him a word that starts with E and he'll spell it", stated Spike as he sat next to William
"Okay", stated Mrs. Kroeger as she pointed to her earring
"E-A-R- -R-I-N-G, right", asked William when he finished
"Very good", answered Spike as William jumped on his lap
"I don't see nothing wrong with William staying here", replied Mrs. Jones as she looked at the new family
"Thank you, it's good here, even if I can't have my real mommy I have people who are as nice as my mommy was", smiled William as he ran over to her and gave Mrs. Jones a hug
"Against my better judgment Mrs. Jones is correct there's nothing wrong here and you have a very happy child", stated Mrs. Kroeger
"Miss. Buffy can I have another word", asked William as Mrs. Jones and Kroeger showed themselves out
"How about", asked the First as he appeared in the form of Buffy laying on the floor holding a bundle of white flowers
"What can we do, little William's a sweet kid and doesn't deserve to be put in the system", replied Rona
"Same for me what do you need", added Kennedy
"Sits we need all the stakes and weapons out of sight, Xander I need you to set up the spare room to look like a childs, Willow I hate to ask but could you conger some clothes and toys, I need to get William and Spike presentable", stated Buffy to the offers of help
