It had been two months since Willow had found Lili and Spike had been drafted as the father figure. He had to admit that he was having the time of his unlife. His and Willow's "daughter" wasn't any trouble at all, she was a perfect angel, except that she was a demon. The two of them had discovered that soon after the Slayer and her flunkies had left on New Year's Day. Lili had been hungry and bitten Spike's finger with her sharp little fangs.

Spike and Willow decided to keep Lili's vampirism a secret as to keep Slutty from killing the little chit. But Willow still loved Lili like the tiny vampire was her own child, which pleased Spike to no end. He knew that she had a huge heart and her affection for the baby proved that. It also made Spike fall even harder for the red-haired witch.

He had been infatuated with the redhead since he had seen her at Halloween three years ago, he played it off, taking Drusilla to Brazil. But he couldn't fool Dru, she had sensed his affections for the witch and she left him for the chaos demon. He went back to Sunnydale and his crush just got stronger when he had kidnapped her and her moronic friend. Spike went to Dru and tortured her, making her scream his name as she writhed beneath him, but it wasn't the same...he just imagined Willow in her place. He had finally decided to make his move earlier that year but the Initiative put a stop to that.

Now he was playing house with her and the baby that she had found, sharing the hacker's house. It was almost too much for him. But he wouldn't have it any other way, it felt right: him, Willow and Lili, like it was meant to be...although, he'd much rather it if he and Willow were attempting to make a baby of their own.

Lili's cry shook Spike from his thoughts, he shook his head and fixed her a bottle. He walked to Lili's room. The baby smiled at him, showing the tips of her tiny fangs. She had just awakened from her nap and stretched her arms out, demanding to be held. Spike smiled back and scooped her into his arms, giving her the bottle filled with blood and milk.

The baby took the bottle and bit the rubber nipple. Willow stretched as she entered Lili's room, she smiled as she saw Spike and Lili. "Thanks for getting her bottle, Spike," she yawned, walking over to the vampire.

Spike tried not to look at Willow, she was only clad in an oversized pajama top that showed off her shapely legs. Willow brushed some of Lili's soft black hair off her face and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "Hey, don't I get a kiss?"Spike pouted.

He just asked for a kiss? Willow thought, blushing furiously. Spike wants me to kiss him? Well, of course, he's your friend. Too bad, it's not more than just friends. Bad Willow, stop thinking lusty thoughts of your friend. Willow smiled crookedly and placed a chaste kiss on Spike's cheek, trying her hardest to stop herself from kissing him on the lips until she passed out from lack of oxygen.

He smiled at Willow. Now I can die a happy demon, he thought. Spike took Lili's bottle as she finished it. She has an appetite, doesn't she? "I don't think she's going to sleep now," he groaned.

Willow took Lili out of Spike's arm. "Yeah, she is," she said. "I read in a book that babies love the sound of their parents' voice no matter how bad they sing. And from what I've learned, it works. Watch."

The redhead sat in a large rocking chair and Spike sat on the arm, his eyes watching Willow intently. She cleared her throat and began to sing. "It felt like springtime on this February morning in a courtyard birds were singing your praise, I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel all right, I carry them with me today now. As I lay me down to sleep, this I pray: that you will hold me dear though I'm far away, I'll whisper your name into the sky and I will wake up happy," Willow sang to Lili who cooed. "I wonder why I feel so high though I am not above the sorrow, heavy-hearted till you call my name and it sounds like church bells oOr the whistle of a train on a summer evening I went to meet you barefoot, barely breathing."

Spike listened to Willow's song, amazed. "Cor, Red, you have a beautiful voice," he murmured and Willow blushed. "And you were right, it works." He stared at Lili and Willow, smiling, they looked perfect together. He carefully took Lili out of Willow's arms and placed her in the bassinet, he placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. When he looked at Willow, he couldn't help but smile. She had fallen asleep.

He shook his head softly and gathered the witch in his arms and placed her on her bed in the room next to Lili's. He placed a tender kiss on her lips. He yawned and stretched out, suddenly extremely tired. I'm sure that Willow won't mind if I crash in her bed tonight, he thought and stripped. He lay beside her on the bed, smiling contentedly.

Willow stretched out and felt a cold body beside her and was about to go back to sleep when it hit her, she was now fully awake. Cold body in my bed? she thought and was startled to see Spike laying beside her, naked.

Spike slowly opened his blue eyes to see Willow blushing, staring at his naked form. "Like what you see, luv?" he asked, smirking.

"EEP! Spike you're all - you're all - you're naked!" Willow cried.

"Yeah, pet, I always sleep naked," he whispered huskily. Willow gulped and closed her eyes, straining not to think naughty thoughts of Spike, naked and chocolate-covered.

Then a voice pierced her ears. "WILLOW DANIELLE ROSENBERG!" the voice screamed.

"Mom?" Willow squeaked as she saw her mother and father standing in her doorway, staring at the naked man beside her. Sheila fainted and Ira caught her. "Oh, boy. I'm in trouble."
