Buffy felt someone staring at her in while she waited for Angel to get his prescription. She saw Spike. "What is it?" He lit up a cigarette before answering.
"Nothing pet."
"You know, smoking kills." She said. He arched his eyebrow at her. "Yeah I know, fine it can kill me …again, plus were in a hospital. Now tell me what's up, you seem all down." She said taking his cigarette and putting it out.
"I… and , never mind. Are you and Angel starting things up again?"
"No, yes…I don't really know, I mean I just got back…" She looked at the look in his eyes. "Spike… you might not know this, but from wherever I was, I could see what you guys were up to. I saw how you took care of Dawn, just cause I asked you too, and you did it solely for that. You changed, and I can't be in love with you… I'm sorry. But I do consider you a really good friend."
"I know love… and I guess this is what you do when your in love…step back and let the person be happy. Buffy hugged him tight.
"This means a lot to me Spike…it might not seem like it but… it does." She smiled at him and ran to the counter. Spike sat down sadly on the couch.
When Buffy and Angel returned with the nurse, the nurse looked around. Gunn had his arm around Cordelia's waist, Dawn was asleep now on Xander's shoulder. Giles was talking to Fred. She looked at the love flowing between all of them and turned to Angel. "You are very lucky to have such a family." She turned to everyone. "All of you."
Buffy wrapped her arm around Angel's shoulder and everyone answered. "We know." The nurse retreated. "Where are Will and Oz?" Everyone shrugged.
"We got plenty of hotel rooms, everyone can stay here tonight." Angel said. Him and Buffy shared a awkward glance. She gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm going to room with Willow and Dawn." She said knowing her sister and best friend would want to be with her tonight.
"We have enough furnished rooms for everyone else to have there own tonight." Angel said.
"I'm heading out in two days anyways." Oz said. Willow flashed a hurt look at him. After the long talk they had he hadn't talked to her. "Look I need to talk to Willow." He nodded for Willow to follow him to the garden.
They sat down. "Willow… I am still in love with you. I guess I always will be. I didn't ever expect you wait but in away I did. I came back and … in Tibet, when I returned, a spirit speaking for Tara talked to me. You guys… Tara's…" Oz paused. Willow looked at him her eyes beginning to water.
"Nothing pet."
