The Given Gift

A/N: This is the last chapter. Yeah woo-hoo. For those for you that think this just doesn't seem finished you're right. I'm making a sequel called Returning. It'll be up quickly I promise. This is the reason Spring Break rocks.

A/N2: Any of these '' means thinking it. Now on with the story.

            Everyone in the Summers' household was asleep. All except for Buffy and Spike.

"Spike, there's bound to be something important that I didn't do. There just has to be."

"Maybe you didn't tell someone something, but don't worry your self about it right now Love."

'I know what it is but I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave Dawn, Giles, or the Scoobies.'

            Buffy had a troubled look on her face and Spike noticed it too.

"Is there a problem Love?"

"No, of course there isn't."

"I can tell there's a problem Love. You have that look on your face."

            Buffy just smiled and giggled.

"Nope, no problems here; just ghosty issues."

"Love, there's a problem. You have a thinking too hard look on your face."

"I do not."

"Yes you do."

            Buffy just rolled here eyes.

'What does he know? I shouldn't think too hard should I?'

            The next morning Spike and Buffy were talking about the night before. Dawn came down for breakfast and saw them talking.

"You two sure were up late. I heard you talking to each other."

"Dawn, don't you have school to get to?"

"I'm waiting for Xander to come to pick me up since Willow and Tara have a class right now."

"When should he get here?"

"In 10 minutes."

"Alright. He's going to get here soon."

            After Dawn left Spike and Buffy were all alone. The two of them gazed into each others eyes.

"Spike, what if I tell you that I think I've figured out what my unfinished business is?"

"Then I think you should tell me."

"I'll probably have to leave once I've told you because it has to do with you and me."

"Love you can tell me anything."

            With that Buffy kissed him.

"Spike I…I love you."

"Well I knew you'd come around."

"Spike, I mean it too."

            Buffy disappeared and found in a beautiful place that seemed so happy. She looked around and saw people, no make that angels, smiling, laughing, and talking. Then she saw two people that looked very familiar. Then she realized who they were. They were Kendra and her mom. Then her mom turned around and saw her.

"Hello honey."

"Mom, I've missed you so much."

"I know. I've seen you and I've missed you too."

"This is interesting," said Kendra. "I thought you wouldn't die for at least another year."

"I had to jump. It was either that, let Dawn die, or the end of the world."

"Okay," sighed Kendra.

            After that the three angels went off talking.

************************************************************************************************************

            Spike waited for Dawn to get home. Then at 3:00 Dawn got home from school.

"Hey Spike, where's Buffy?"

"We need to talk Nibblet."

"What is it Spike?"

"Nibblet, Buffy left."

"So she figured out what she didn't do?"

"Yes."

            The two of them sat down and started talking.

            The next day Willow and Giles were talking about what to do about where Dawn would end up living.

"Giles, maybe Tara and I could move in here so Dawn could stay here."

"That could work."

"I'd be happy to stay here."

            Then Dawn walked into the room.

"I wish Buffy's ghost was still," here pouted the 15 year old.

            Then Giles shouted, "What?"
