Summary-Spike is upset, many tears follow

----------------------------Two weeks later-------------------------------------------------------------

The kittens were quickly turning into cats, and all Spike could do was watch them.

Buffy wandered into the crypt, fully equipped with kibble, those little chewy cat treats that
actually don't taste that bad (don't ask) milk, and various cat toys.

"Spike?" She called into the darkness.

"In here!" his voice was muffled, like he was talking through material.

She walked in to find him sitting on his bed, with a big hanky pressed to his face.

"Spike? Are you okay?"

He blew his nose.
"Yeah, I guess, it's just.."
"It's just what, Spike?" She sat down beside him.
"They're not my babies anymore!" He cried, hugging Buffy while getting tears all over her shirt.

"Today...Jimmy brought in a bird...*sniff*...... I was so proud of him...but then....*sniffle*.....I-I
realised that he just.....he wasn't my little baby kitten anymore!"

He started sobbing uncontrollably, soaking her shirt even more.

"Aww, Spike, you knew that they weren't going to stay kittens forever.."

"You wouldn't understand, I've spent my whole unlife watching people grow older and die,
well...unless I ate them first..but ...kitties grow so much faster and...well..it just reminded me of
how...you and the others will leave me too, and pretty soon, I'll have to let my kittens go!"

Now they were up to their knees in tears (the cats has jumped onto a door that was floating
around, and looked like survivors of a flash flood.)

"Aww...it's okay, Spike, we can get you some new kitties"

"BUT I DON'T WANT NEW KITTIES!" he yelled, crying even harder.
"I LOVE MY KITTIES!"

"Shh shh shhhhhh, Spike, it's alright, they might be growing up but they'll never leave you"

"R-really? *sniff* "

"Really"

"Okay..I guess...pass me that mop, will you? I need to clean up this mess"

*A/N ahhh! Look out! It's the attack of the super sap!!!!!!!*
