Chapter 8 - I'll Never Forget

- Angel's Apartment -

Angel and Buffy had been down in the basement a long while now. Cordelia, Spike, Doyle and Wesley still remained upstairs to support Buffy if needed and every single one of them tried to make it look like they weren't waiting for one of them to burst through the door but weren't succeeding. Spike finally hopped off the counter he had been sitting at.

"What the hell could be taking them so long?"

Cordelia sighed, "Yes that's right Spike because Buffy telling Angel that she's pregnant with his kid is just a two minute thing."

"I don't know why she's so scared of him. I mean why can't people in love be together yet people who aren't completely in love are together?" Spike rebuttled

Cordy smiled her all famous smile, "I think you have some of your own issues in there huh Spike?" Before Spike could answer Cordy realized what else he said, "Are you actually trying to put them together?"

Spike waved his hand and scoffed at the question, "I don't think so. I just know that if they aren't together that baby is going to grow up without a parent. It is my job to make sure that doesn't happen."

Cordelia just stared at him, "More issues huh? I used to think you had problems but you have way more then I thought you did."

"Well I don't need a little miss priss trying to anylize me right now. So would the previous bitch queen like to be quiet now or would she like a taste of how I work out my 'issues'?"

Cordelia was caught off guard so Wesley stepped in, "I really wonder what could be taking so long."

Spike smiled a triumphant smile, "I better not be seeing Angelus anytime soon. I hated him."

Doyle looked up from the table, "She has beter judgement to sleep with him....again. Come on she's the slayer, has to have judgement."

The rest of the room laughed and smiled at Doyle's comment but Spike answered, "If only you knew those two. Judgement is thrown out the window when they're together."

A voice rang from a dark corner of the room, "That's how our hearts used to be Spike. We wouldn't think about anything but how to please one another."

Spike froze instantly as the first sound of his ex lover's voice rang in his head. As the rest of the room noticed who she was they were already on the move for weapons. Spike couldn't let them kill her. He knew the reason she was here wasn't to kill anybody or the unborn but to be present for the revelation of her brother or sister. Spike knew it was more the fact he still loved this murderous vampire but he had to use the other reason to persuade the others to put down their sharp wooden tainted objects. Spike was still standing and admiring the beauty that was once his and maybe will be again when Cordelia saw the smirk on the woman's face.

One word was spoken by everyone in the room but Spike, "Drusilla!"
