Title: I Won't Leave Again
Chapter: Malling, and a not-so-surprising visit
Author: Niki
Rating: PG13 If you watch Buffy, you can read this. It's got some sexual innuendo and a little swearing(Bloody Hell mostly)
Spoilers: Takes place ten years after the end of season six, so anything up to season six is fair game.
Summary: Ten years after season six, Dawn is a single mother, Buffy is dead, and Willow and Xander are married and have a baby. Dawn is being hunted by Angelus, and Spike comes back to Sunnydale with a little surprise.
Disclaimer: I own Nothing! Jos owns everything. Although I wish I owned Spike (insert evil laugh here)
Ships: Xander/Willow, talks about Angel/Dawn, Will eventually be Spike/Dawn.
A/N-to make things less confusing, Willow's nickname will be Wills, and William will be Will.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is a shortie. I'll have another chapter out either later today, or tommorrow. Sorry, but the ending just needed to be where it is. Please review! Niki ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dawn wolk up to an empty bed. She quickly shook the grogginess out of her head and looked at the clock.
"Oh my God! It's ten o clock! I was supposed to be up 3 hours ago! Spike!"
"Calm down Nibblet, You looked so peaceful this morning that I got the kids up and ready myself."
"Oh my god," she groaned. "Please tell me they aren't wearing all black?"
"Will insisted on it, says he does it every day. Must come with the name. Joy is in a pink shirt with a black skirt, and Mags is wearing a yellow shirt with a black skirt." Dawn sighed, but she was smiling.
"Are you going to get up? Remember, we were going to go to the mall today?"
"Oh, right." she got out of bed, grabbed black pants and a black halter top, just to go with the trend, and went to the bathroom to shower and get ready.
~*~*~*~*~
Dawn, Spike, and Anna were walking through the mall. Dawn and Anna had taken her suv, while Spike had gone through the tunnels and met them there.
"Here's the Gap," Dawn said, pulling Spike towards the store, Anna trotting happily behind.
"Does it have stuff in black?" asked Spike, allowing himself to be pulled by the petite slayer.
Dawn sighed heavily at him, and went straight to the racks of pastel shirts, skirts, pants and dresses. Three hours later, Anna was fully outfitted with everything she could ever need, in every color of the rainbow, as was Spike, except without the color variety. He had bought clothes in black, blood read, gray, and more black. Dawn had been able to convince him to buy one non gothic vampire item, a beautiful hunter green silk button-down shirt.. When Dawn had brought him to Hot Topic, he had acted like a little kid in a candy shop. Only difference was this was a little kid with a large amount of money. It had taken Dawn 9 trips to the car to get everything inside. Now they said goodbye to the blonde vampire, and exited the mall.
"Well, if it isn't my lovely wife" that all-to-familiar voice made Dawn shudder involuntarily. "And is this my daughter?" Dawn wasn't surprised that he made that mistake, as the only thing he had seen of his children was a picture when they were two. When the picture was taken, Joy had still had blonde hair. It didn't darken until she was 4.
"No," she said, "She is Spike's... goddaughter."(Well that was close to the truth) "she came to visit for a couple days. Smell her Angelus, she doesn't have your scent on her." He inhaled deeply, then scowled at her, knowing she was right. "So what are you doing at the mall?" he asked, "Shouldn't you be protecting our children?"
"My children are protected just fine without me." she answered, trying not to rise to the bait.
"Oh really? So if I kill you right now, Spike and the Slayerettes will be able to keep your children safe? Especially with Spike mourning the loss of his goddaughter?" Dawn opened the car door and shoved Anna in. She then grabbed a stake out of her purse and got into a fighting stance.
"Angelus. If you want to fight let's fight and be over with it. I will be happy to dust you. I'm not Buffy. I have no qualms about staking you." A tear slipped from her eye. "Even if we could restore your soul you would never be the man I fell in love with."
"Why lover," he said, smiling, "I never knew you cared! Well, sorry to tell you, but I have to run. Toodles!"
With that he disappeared, running away with a speed only vampires had. Dawn laughed softly, she had never thought she would hear Angel say toodles. She then got into the suv and after reassuring Anna that everything was all right, drove home.
~*~*~*~*~
Later that afternoon, the four children were playing outside while Dawn, Xander, Willow, and Spike sat on the porch, the vampire safe because the very cloudy sky was blocking most of the rays, and the ones that got through were stopped by either the sunshade over the table they were sitting around, or the hoodie he was wearing, the hood pulled as far over his face as possible. Dawn had been telling in detail the little Angelus encounter she and Anna had had earlier.
"He threatened my daughter! I'll kill him." Spike growled.
"Spike, calm down, please," Dawn begged. His eyes had begun to grow yellow, and his forehead was starting to bulge.
"Sorry Nibblet." he said, morphing back to normal.
The phone rang, and Willow went to answer it. After about ten minutes, while Dawn was trying to calm Spike down, Willow came in the room,and dragged Xander back to the living room with her. They came back a few minutes later, looking seriously depressed.
"Dawnie," Willow started, not sure how to say this, "Xander, Elizabeth and I, well.. we have to go out of town."
"Why?" she asked.
"Wills' grandparents are having a family reunion, and they insist we go. They say they need to see their great granddaughter before they die."
"Hey, guys that's perfectly fine," she said, "I'm sure Spike and I can manage for a little while by ourselves.
Willow then dropped what she considered the bomb. "We're going to be gone for at least three weeks, maybe a month."
"That's...okay Wills, we'll be fine." Dawn saw that Willow really didn't want to leave her by herself in Sunnydale. "You guys need a break. Get away from the hellmouth, go have some fun. I'll be fine. Spike's here to help with the kids and the fighting, and Giles will be back next week. We really will be fine."
"I guess so." Willow answered, clearly not a believer.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A/N Haha! Spike and the Slayerettes sounds like a band name! :)
