A/N: I know I already posted this chapter once, but I'm reposting it cause it makes more sense, plus I didn't like the way the story was going. So please enjoy

Chapter 10:

1 Year Later

Spike sighed as he climbed off of his Black 2004 Harley-Davidso DYNA Wide Glide that he stole from W&H before they destroyed it. Spike slowly walked up to the Manor and briefly hesitated before he rang the bell. Five minutes later he was staring into the most beautiful pair of Hazel eyes; the same eyes that had haunted his dreams for the past year. Paige stared at him in shock first, then a mixture of intense sadness and intense joy. She asked as she shifted the baby in her arms, "S-spike what're you doing here?"

Spike raised a scarred eyebrow as he drawled, "Decided to come after you, after we destroyed W&H."

Paige stared at him incredulously as she asked, "You defeated W&H how?"

Spike smirked as he stepped past her, sat down on the couch and said, "Well after you left, Angel took over W&H. It was peachy at first but then he decided to bring down W&H."

Paige asked as she sat down beside him, "Who made it out alive?"

Spike bowed his head as he said quietly, "Nobody, but me made it out pet."

Tears streamed down her face, as Spike gathered her in his arms and whispered soothing words to her. Suddenly Chris orbed in. He was about to say something to Paige, when he looked over he locked eyes with Spike. As Spike stared at Chris the first thing he noticed was that his blood smelled exactly like Piper and Leo. He smirked as he drawled, "Name's Spike nice to meet ya mate."

Chris nodded as he said, "My name is Chris Perry."

Spike nodded as Chris walked from the room. Spike cocked a scarred eyebrow as he gestured toward the baby in her arms as he drawled, "So love, when were you gonna tell me bout the Little Bit?"

Paige looked down at the little girl as she laid her in Spike's arms and said, "Spike this is your daughter Emily Jean Rose. "

Spike gazed down at Emily as he asked hopefully, "So does this mean I can stay?"

Paige grinned as she said, "Of course you're gonna stay."

Spike kissed her very passionately for several minutes. Then Piper, Leo and Phoebe orbed in. They all three stared at Spike as he held Emily. He looked up in annoyance and snapped, "What the bloody hell are you lot staring at; can't a bloke hold his daughter in peace?"

Leo said, "Sorry Spike have you seen Chris?"

Spike said as he handed Emily back to Paige, "He's in the attic."

Leo nodded as Spike rose to his feet and followed him. Once he was out of the room Piper and Phoebe turned to Paige and asked, "We know it's only been a few minutes but what does it feel like to have Spike back?"

Paige had a huge grin on her face as she said, "It's wonderful. I mean as soon as I told him about Emily he wanted to hold her. I know you guys were just trying to help but I was heartbroken for a year sure I tried to date Richard, but he just wasn't Spike."

Piper nodded as she said, "Yea now Richard's gone crazy since you broke up with him."

No sooner had that statement left her lips; when Richard appeared. Paige asked as she protectively held Emily to her chest, "What do you want Richard?"

Richard said in an eerily calm voice as he stepped toward Paige, "You know what I want Paige."

Paige ground out through clenched teeth, "I already told you when Emily was born we were through."

Richard stood there for several minutes then he said in the same eerily calm voice, "You will be mine again Paige."

Spike growled from the top of the stairs, "Not in this lifetime ya poof."

Richard glared at Spike as he hissed, "So your Spike."

Spike's eyes glowed a bright feral yellow as he snarled, "Yea that's me."

Richard glared at both of them before he vanished. Once he was gone Spike walked down the stairs and over to Paige and asked, "Paige who was that ponce?"

Paige handed Emily to Piper; who carried the sleeping infant upstairs. Then she led him back over to the couch and said as they sat down, "Well after we returned to San Francisco I was heartbroken. Then a month later we helped end the feud between Richard's family and another family. After that me and Richard started dating; Shortly after that I found out that I was pregnant with Emily, we continued to date for a while after that but he just couldn't compare to you. Shortly before Emily was born I told him we were through."

Spike lit a cigarette as he growled, "Don't worry pet he'll not hurt you or Emily."

Paige curled up beside Spike as Chris and Leo came flying down the stairs. They stopped in front of Spike and Leo asked, "Spike would you mind going with Chris to kill a demon?"

Spike shook his head as Chris glared at Leo and said, "I can do it by myself."

Spike held up a hand to silence Leo's protest, and said, " Of course we know ya can mate. I'm just going for backup."

6 Minutes later

Abandoned Warehouse

Chris nodded as they orbed out. When they reached their destination Chris asked the now bleached blond vampire, "You know who I am don't you?"

Spike ran his fingers through his short blonde hair as he said, "Yea you're Piper, and Leo's son, prolly from the future am I right?"

Chris nodded as he said, "I came back to save Wyatt from turning evil. Please don't tell anyone about me being Piper's son."

Spike nodded as his eyes turned a brilliant golden color, and he growled, "If anybody tries I'll rip their bloody throats out."

Chris nodded as he thought to himself, Spike's the same in the future as he is now. Very protective of his family. Spike said as he lit a cigarette, "Well let's get this bloody over with."

Chris nodded as Spike kicked in the door walked in and beheaded two demons with one swing of his broadsword. Chris used his telekinesis to throw the demon's energy balls back at them, killing 4. Spike smirked as he killed two more demons. Then he drawled, "So d'we fight like this in the future?"

Chris said as he unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks on a demon then broke it's neck with a spinning hook kick, "Yea."

Spike asked in a surprised voice as he broke the last demon's neck, "Where'd ya learn to fight like that?"

Chris said as he brushed the hair out of his eyes, "From you."

Spike smirked as he drawled, "Well let's get outta here kid."

And with that they orbed back to the Manor.

5 Minutes later

The Manor

Leo and the girls were waiting the living room when the orbed in. Leo asked, " How'd it go?"

Spike drawled, "Went off without a hitch."

Paige said as she walked over to Spike and gave him a kiss on the lips, "Good I'm glad."

Spike looked over at Chris and drawled as he lit a cigarette, "Ya did a good job kid."

Chris thanked him; then went up to the attic. Leo watched him leave then he turned to Spike and asked, "How'd it really go?"

Spike exploded with rage, "It went exactly as we bleedin said it did ya bloody git."

Piper asked, "What's your problem?"

Spike said as he took a drag from his cigarette, "Nothin cept that Leo can't get it through his head that Chris is really a great help out there."

Leo said, "Look Spike all I'm trying to do is keep my family safe"

Spike said as he exhaled a huge cloud of smoke, "I know ya wanna keep em safe mate; I do too but Chris could really be a great asset. Specially since you're an Elder now."

Leo looked incredulous as he asked, "How'd you know I was an Elder now?"

Spike smirked as he took a long drag off his cig then said, "Been keepin tabs on you lot. Who d'ya think it was that fought off that sorcerer long enough for you to rescue Piper."

Leo asked in amazement, "That was you?"

Spike nodded as he stubbed his cigarette out in the ashtray and said, "Yep it was right round the time we took down W&H. Angel said to live the last day how we wanted and I chose to come back here. The only place I ever really belonged."

They all had amazed looks on their faces as Piper walked over to Spike, and said, "Thank you."

Spike nodded as he heard Emily wake up and he went to get his daughter.
