Baby Shower

CHAPTER EIGHT

Spike hated this feeling, the waiting. For years he had enjoyed being a vampire, now was one of those times he hated it.

"Bloody hell Red where are you?" He said as soon as she answered her phone.

"Hello Spike, nice to talk to you too, I'm round the corner." Willow hung up.

Spike had wanted to go get something for William, but Buffy had told him that he wouldn't find much in the twenty four hour supermarket. He'd sent Willow to the mall.

The sunlight lit up his crypt as Willow pushed the door back, her arms heavy with shopping bags, "Hey I got everything." She reasured him noting his worried face.

"Thanks Red I'd love to do it my self but do you know how hard it is to get to the mall in summer?" He smiled lighting a smoke.

Willow handed the bags to him and he studied the articles carefully, then smiled back at her before reaching into his pocket, "That should cover it." He handed a wad of notes to the witch.

Her eyes widened as she quickly counted the cash, "Spike there is over $200 here. I think the stuff was like $150." She frantically pushed the money back at him.

"Yeah so, keep the change. I want you to have a good night with Tara or something." Willow knew that he wasn't going to take no for an answer so she pushed the notes into the pocket of her jeans.

She made her way to the door then she stopped and turned back to Spike, "This money better not be hot Spike."

He didn't take offense, in a way it kind of pleased him, 'at least Red still thinks I'm bad.' He thought to himself as she pulled the door closed behind her.

"So you stayed the night? I so knew it." Dawn asked after Spike had given her details of the date he'd had with Buffy.

"You knew it huh? When I didn't even know it. But yes I did spend the night."

Dawn laughed, this was all going so good. Then she looked thoughtful for a moment.

"So if you stayed the night how come you here now and not still making with the smoochies?"

Spike smiled at her, "I had things to do bit."

"How many times do I have to tell you Spike I'm not little bit anymore, but anyway what's more important that than Buffy."

"You that's what and my favourite little boy in the whole world." Spike looked down at the baby in his arms, his eyes filled with nothing but love. He handed William to Jordan and reached for bag he'd left under the bed.

He started to pull all sorts of things out of the bag, a teddy bear, a rattle, a smow suit, a mini football, a baseball cap, a blue track suit, a baby grow saying 'I love Daddy' (which Jordan liked the most) and a little leather jacket.

"Spike what did you do? This is too much, why?" Dawn asked now feeling rather emotional at the vampires gifts.

"Hey you should have known that this little guy was going to get spoiled by me. But William also asked me to pick something up for him." Spike said handing Dawn a small red box.

She let out a gasp as she looked inside, 'William' had bought her a gold braclet with 'mommy' inscribed inside.

"And still you spoil me. Thankyou." Was all she could say.

Spike left the maternity ward feeling so happy. To see Dawn and Jordan's face when he showered them in presents for their son. He wanted to shower Buffy in presents but he knew only to well her temper, she would not like it.

It did get him thinking, he could make them all pretty happy.

"Spike with all respect do you think this is wise?" The man on the other end of the phone said.

"Why should you to question me?" Spike answered.

"No sir. But you did tell me that you did not want your friends to find out. And this may lead to them discovering everything."

"Not likely, do you think I'm bloody well thick? Just do as ordered, right?"

"Yes I'll do it now."
