Chapter 25

They all talked for a while longer talking about everything. Once Buffy realized they were planning on staying in a hotel Buffy told them they were not when she had a spare bedroom and a couch. Dean tried arguing a little but Buffy won in the end, it made it easier that she had Sam's vote from the beginning. Sam got the bedroom and Dean got stuck with the couch, which he didn't seem too disgruntled about.

Sam crashed out pretty soon after night hit but both Buffy and Dean weren't ready for bed yet. So they sat and talked for a while which Buffy had to admit went pretty well, they hadn't had a conversation just the two of them in years and there was a lot that needed to get out in the open. It helped them out a lot when Buffy got out one of her bottles and started pouring them shots. She didn't want them drunk she just wanted to take the edge off since she was this close to humans, it wasn't that she hadn't been around them but the only human that she had this close for this long was her sister. She even made sure she drank extra blood that day just so she didn't have any urges.

They were on their 5th shot when Buffy finally got up and put the bottle up.

"Hey I wasn't done with that" Dean said playfully.

"Yes you are, sorry but I can't have you drunk" Buffy said with a laugh.

"Aww your no fun" He joked.

It was obvious that he was feeling some of the effects from the alcohol and she mentally kicked herself because she wasn't thinking about what his tolerance would be only that she wasn't feeling much of anything.

"Fun has nothing to do with it, I'm just the responsible one" She looked at Dean "I am a mother now."

"Don't remind me" He said grumpily.

She gave him a sympathetic smile remembering the last conversation they had before they left last time.

"This has been fun but it's getting pretty late so I'm going to get to bed." Buffy said making her way off the couch.

"Goodnight Buffy" Dean said softly.

"Goodnight."

Once she got back to her room she closed the door and stood there with her back to it for a moment trying to calm her nerves. She didn't think she had anything to worry about but she had two very human hunters in the other room and couldn't help but think it had been a mistake demanding they stayed there. After a couple minutes she finally made her way to her dresser and pulled out her pajamas and got ready for bed. She had been lying in bed for about a half hour when she heard her door open, she rolled over to see a shirtless Dean enter her room closing the door behind him. He slowly made his way to the bed then sat next to her.

"I was hoping you weren't asleep yet." Dean said barely more than a whisper.

"Nope just laying here thinking." She said looking up at Dean.

"Do you think we would have made it if I wouldn't have been stupid and broke it off when I did?" Dean asked out of nowhere.

Buffy sat up adjusting her tank top then looked at Dean "I think what happened was supposed to happen."

"I'm sorry for the way I acted afterward it was just hard being around you and I have to admit I was a little jealous about the relationship you had with my brother." He told her.

"It's alright at least we seem to be able to move past it now, that's all that matters" She hugged him.

He held a little too long but Buffy didn't push the issue. It wasn't until she eyed his veins in his neck that Buffy finally pushed him back, she tried to turn her head so he wouldn't see her that way but she knew it was too late.

He took his hand and lightly turned her head back to him "No need to hide what you are, I know you probably think I can't accept you the way you are but I can, I know I've been a black and white kind of person but you've made me see the grey in things."

Her face had turned back to normal "Thanks that means a lot to me."

"Now I'm not going to offer you my blood or anything so don't get no crazy ideas" He joked.

Buffy couldn't help but laugh "I wouldn't take it anyway, I wouldn't do that to someone I care about it just makes the relationships different and I like where we finally are."

He nodded in agreement. Then yawned which in turn made Buffy yawn, they both laughed for a few minutes then Dean laid down in her bed. She followed suit and laid next to him.

"I know we couldn't ever be together again but I'm happy with this" He said putting his hand on her arm.

"Me to" She agreed.

They just laid there and stared at each other for what felt like forever before Dean finally fell asleep with Buffy not that far behind him. It felt odd having a body next to her but comforting. She felt the urge to move away from him a little but never did.

When she woke up the next morning she could help but laugh a little sometime during the night she had wrapped herself around Dean. She woke up to her arm and leg both being over him and her head was resting in his shoulder. She raised her head to see that Dean was already awake smiling down at her.

"You sleep good?" He asked with a big smile.

"It appears I did" She laughed.

She was just moving off him when her door opened expecting it was Sam she didn't even bother looking up. It wasn't until she stood up and turned around that she met the eyes of someone who was not Sam.

As soon as their eyes met she seen the pain behind his glare "It's not what it looks like."

She knew as soon as the words came out of her mouth that he wouldn't believe them, she looked at the still shirtless Dean sitting up in her bed and her in a tank top and a pair of shorts.

"Why would it matter to me if it was?" Klaus said a little too harshly.

She walked around the bed to where he stood in the doorway, she took his hands in hers, to her surprise he didn't fight it or pull away "Even though we can't be together that doesn't mean that I'm going to be with someone else."

"Why not? You should move on with your life" He said trying to keep a straight face but she knew him well enough to know how he was truly feeling.

"That's not going to happen anytime soon" She told him honestly.

It wasn't until she heard Dean moving behind her that she remembered that they weren't alone and finally moved past Klaus to walk into the living room to get her son. When she walked in she seen Sam playing with Talon, she smiled at the sight.

She didn't mean to ease drop but she couldn't help but overhear Dean telling Klaus that nothing really had happened, that they had just been talking and fell asleep. Klaus didn't respond to him he just showed up in the living room where Buffy was still watching Sam with Talon. Again she saw the pain and jealousy in his face. She hated the way their relationship was now, they cared too much about each other to just be friends but because of Elijah they could never be anything other than friends. She was in a situation that she just couldn't win at, it didn't matter what either of them wanted they had to deal with what they could have.

Klaus finally looked up at Buffy "I'm going to get back I'll see you next weekend."

Before Buffy could even reply he was out the door, she shook her head. When she turned around she bumped right into Dean.

"Sorry." She said sadly.

He wrapped his arms around her trying to comfort her, she allowed it and even put her arms around him as well. Finally she stepped away telling him thanks. Then they walked over to Sam and Talon, she noticed Dean approached him slowly and the sight made Buffy laugh.

"What's so funny?" He asked her.

"You look like you're afraid of him."

"Well it's not like I'm really around kids doing the job I do." Dean replied.

"Sammy looks like he's doing a pretty good job." Buffy laughed.

He gave her a dirty look which made Buffy laugh even more.

When Buffy finally looked over at Talon he was sitting on the ground staring at her. She put her arms out to him "Come here baby."

To her surprise he started pushing up with his hands and when he was standing and finally steadied himself he started taking very wobbly steps toward her. Buffy knew her smile showed everything, this was his first steps and he was taking them to her. She was jealous because his first words were da-da and it had taken him awhile longer to start saying ma-ma but now he was walking to her. He made it right in front of her before he finally fell and landed on his bottom, when he looked up to his mom it made her laugh because he had the grumpiest look on his face. He was obviously upset that he fell. She swooped him up in her arms and held him tight.

"That was a good job Talon." She said to him.

She grabbed her phone and started texting Klaus telling him that their son had just walked for the first time, when he didn't reply she knew it was probably because he was mad he wasn't there to witness it.
