Just Like Thanksgiving
CHAPTER FIVE
The whole gang were still at the hospital, the nurse had told them a number of times that they should go home and they couldn't see Dawn again that night because she was worn out. It was 4 am now and they started thinking about making a move.
"M-maybe we s-should go Dawnie needs her rest." Tara offered as she noticed her friends starting to nod off.
"Yeah your right, Spike can you drive me? I'll leave my car here I'm far to sleepy to drive." Buffy asked forcing her eyelids open.
"You slay all night but you can't handle sitting and waiting." Spike raised an eyebrow.
"This is all exciting, I'm an aunty." Buffy said pulling Spike out of his chair, he was the only one who was still wide awake. He tried to pass it off as being a vamp but Buffy knew it was down to her nephews name.
They all made there way towards the car lot, Tara noticed that Buffy and Spike were getting very close and smiled to herself, tonight maybe.
~~~~~~~~
Spike's black DeSoto was parked up out side the house on Revello Drive, he didn't feel like going home, he wouldn't sleep but he didn't fancy seeing Buffy's reaction when he tried to invite himself in. He looked across at her, she looked almost as worn out as Dawn.
He tapped her lightly on the shoulder, "Come on pet your at home."
Buffy looked round confused, "Oh ok right better go in then."
Spike lent across her and opened the car door for her, flashing her a good bye smile.
"Spike you wanna come in for a bit?"
He looked up at the sky, it would be light soon he'd be stuck.
"Pet if I come in now I can't leave til tonight."
"You know you could your always running about in the day, a stupid hobby if you ask me but it doesn't matter, stay all day. Then you can drive me to the hospital tonight."
Buffy was asking him in to stay all day, this was too good. She wanted him there how could he say no.
"Ok love I'll stay but you have to promise to rest."
Buffy nodded her head as she got out of the car and made her was up the path.
~~~~~~~~
"There should be some blood in the fridge Spike if you're hungry." Buffy shouted from the sofa where she was spread out.
"So your keeping my food in the house now, must be love." He joked.
"It's just I now how much you like having breakfast here and well even when we were arch enemies I wouldn't have forced you to eat my food."
Spike laughed, this was the Buffy he loved, the fun joking Buffy. It had taken a long time but she was over her death now, he liked it better that way.
Pulling the mug out of the microwave he headed for the living room, only to find that Buffy had given in to sleep. He pulled the rug from the back of chair and placed it over her.
She looked so beautiful, lying there bathing in her happiness. He wished that she was in bed with him there aswell holding her.
Spike bent over and kissed her forehead, "I still love you Buffy." He whispered as he went back to the kitchen for some cookies.
Buffy's eyes fluttered open, "I know." He didn't hear her.
~~~~~~~~
Buffy woke to the sound of the TV blarring, 'For someone with enhanced hearing he sure has that thing loud.' She thought as she woke.
Spike was sat legs spead across the arms of the chair fast asleep, 'Mmm sexy' flashed through her head. She wondered how long he'd been sleeping, she was bored and she really wanted to talk to someone.
"Spike, wake up."
No answer.
"Spike wake up." She shouted throwing a cushion at him.
It worked he jumped from his seat, "Bloody hell Slayer."
Buffy knew he was a little mad he only called her Slayer when he was mad, "Sorry I thought you'd want to be awake."
Spike looked at her, why the hell would he want to be awake? That woman had some funny ideas sometimes.
"You mean you were bored and wanted me up?" He asked
Buffy smiled Spike knew her too well to try and pretend otherwise, "Kinda."
"Ok I'm up so then what do you wanna do pet." His face softened as he said it, Buffy knew he wasn't really mad at her, he never could stay mad for very long, not at her anyway.
"Well I'm gonna make some hot chocolate, you want? And yes I have little marshmellows."
Spike nodded smiling like a child getting their favourite treat, Buffy thought that he looked adorable.
"So you like the name Dawn decided on then?" Buffy asked.
Spike grinned even more, Danw was always so nice to him but that had been the best thing anyone had every done. Buffy leant over and pulled at his cheek, "Oh your so cute sometimes." She giggled.
Buffy was trying to reach the tub of chocolate powder on the top self with out much luck, Spike thought about just watching her struggle but decided against it. He leaned over the top of her and grabbed the tub, the sooner she had it down the sooner he'd get his hot chocolate.
Buffy turned to face him, 'Just like Thanksgiving' she thought. She looked up at his deep blue eyes and saw all the love he still held for her, without thinking she kissed him.
'Bloody hell she'd kissing me. Buffy kissing me' He thought as he held her closer to himself.
'What the hell are you doing Buffy'
