Title: I Won't Leave Again
Chapter: Deja Vu (or Evil Vampires copying Evil Slayers)
Author: Niki (Sunnygurlie)
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. Season 7 didn't happen. I don't watch Angel, so Cordy & Angel's timeline thing is kind of warped. Here, Angel and Cordy had started Angel Investigations, and Cordy had become half demon. Connor never existed, and none of the other characters are mentioned. And, because I felt like it, Cordy had a baby with Doyle.
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: talks about Angel/Dawn, Spike/Dawn. Willow/ Xander, although they aren't gonna appear much anymore. Oz/Cordy
A/N-to make things less confusing, Willow's nickname will be Wills, and William will be Will. Spike may be refered to as William at times, but I will make it clear that it is the vampire, not the boy.

Hey Hey! What's up everybody. Life's been hectic, trying to write as much as possible, but my pesky little life has this nasty habit of getting in the way of my fanfic writing. I am so amazed at the amount of reviews I have gotten for this story! I haven't gotten flamed once! knocks on wood You guys, as always, are amazing!

Dawn woke up wrapped in Spike's strong arms. She didn't move right away, she just lay there, reveling in the perfection of the moment.
"You up Pet?"
"How's you know?"
"Your breathing. You breathe more slowly when you sleep."
"Oh."
She turned around to face him.
"I didn't ask this last night, because I didn't want to spoil the mood, but, how is Angel going to react?"
"He knows about the negation of the claim, if that's what you mean. He knew the second it happened. He'll be really pissed off and probably will try to attack tonight, or even during the day, if he still has some Amares left."
"So we need to protect the children."
"And you."
"I can protect myself."
"Dawn. I couldn't bear to lose you. Neither could the children. Please. Please let me protect you."
She relented.
.*-*. ^ .*-*. ^ .*-*. ^ .*-*. ^ .*-*.
Dawn sat on a blanket underneath a tree in the park, resting her head against Spike's shoulder. He had his arm around her, and they were watching the children play an energetic game of tag. He had taken some Amares that morning, so they could have a typical family day. Cordy and Oz were chatting animatedly with Giles and Anya about weapons, or lack thereof. (Oz was saying that claws worked just fine, Anya was arguing being able to summon demons worked better, Cordy was in favor of visions, and sending others out to do the fighting, and Giles kept insisting that a good crossbow was all anyone ever needed) The werewolf had his arm around the former cheerleader, and ever couple of minutes, they would look at each other and smile.
*It would be sickening,* Dawn thought, *If Spike and I weren't doing the same thing. Funny how love changes your perception. *
"Watcha thinking luv?" Spike asked
"Just trying to imprint this moment in my memory forever."
"Ya don't have to." he pulled out a camera. "I brought this so we could get some pictures of the family."
"But you don't come out on film."
"I've done some research, since I've always wanted a picture of me and Joy. The only way a vampire can be photographed is if he's in the sun."
"But vampires burn."
"Exactly. But with a dose of Amares, not only am I 'gets to walk in the daylight vamp,' I'm 'gets to have his picture taken vamp'"
"Awesome."
Dawn gathered the kids while Spike instructed Cordy and Giles on how to operate the camera. They got one of all the Scooby children, one of Spike, Dawn and their 'kids,' one of Cordy, Oz and Kim, one of all the Scoobies except Giles, one of just Spike and Dawn, one of just Oz and Cordy, one of Spike and Maggie, and one of Spike and Joy. A high school student passing by offered to take one of them all, so they got one of the entire Scooby gang too.
They were walking home from the park a few hours later. It was right before dusk, so Dawn wasn't to worried about the kids, letting them walk a little ways in front of the adults. They were passing the Sun Theater when Dawn heard a faint whooshing sound. She turned with her slayer speed and knocked the crossbow bolt as far out of the way of its intended target as possible. Unfortunately, Angelus had predicted this, and shot a little off. The arrow went into Spike's chest, just below the heart. He fell to the ground.
"Spike!" Dawn knelt down, and pulled the arrow out. "Thank God it didn't go into your heart!"
"It doesn't matter," he gasped out, "He pulled a Faith." were his last words before slipping into unconsciousness.
.*-*. ^ .*-*. ^ .*-*. ^ .*-*. ^ .*-*.
Dawn was pacing in her living room. Spike was in her bed, his wound cleaned, but he wasn't healing, and he hadn't regained consciousness. She had shooed the kids into Maggie's room, where they were playing now.
"He pulled a Faith." Giles was muttering over and over again. "What ever could he mean by that?"
Then it clicked.
"Poison! Angelus wasn't aiming for the heart! He just poisoned Spike, like Faith di to him! Faith shot Angel from that same place! All he needs is to drain a slayer! He'll be fine!"
"Dawnie, no. We can't risk losing you."
"Buffy was fine!"
"That was different."
"No it wasn't"
Their argument was cut short by Maggie.
"Auntie Dawn! Daddy's awake!"
Dawn ran up the steps, taking two at a time.
"Spike! Thank God your ok!" she exclaimed, seeing him looking weakly up at him.
"Dawn... I... love... you."
"I know. Now all you have to do, is drink my blood. Just stop before I'm dead."
"No.. Dawn.."
"Spike!" she begged, "You have to do this. I can't live without you!"
"I can't.. drink... your... blood... I... could... kill.... you.."
"You won't"
"I.. could..."
"Daddy."
"What.. sweetie?"
"I'm a slayer too. Drink half of my blood, and half of Auntie Dawn's. That way neither of us dies, and you get to be okay."
"No.. Sweetie... I... could.. hurt.. you.."
"Look at my face." he did. "It's Auntie Willow's famous resolve face. No changing my mind. "
He gave up, knowing that he couldn't stop the two slayers.
"Come.. here.. Sweetie." she sat next to him on the bed. "Dawn.. get.. Cordy.. in... here." Dawn called Cordy who ran right upstairs.
"Cordy, make.. sure.. I.. don't.. take.. too.. much.."
"Okay." she sat on the chair at Dawn's vanity, and faced the bed, ready to pull the sick vampire off of his daughter if need be.
He looked Maggie in the eye.
"Are.. you.. sure.. about.. this.. Mags?" she nodded. "This.. may.. hurt.. a little.." She smiled at him, and pulled her hair away from her neck, offering it to him.
He let his game face through, and slowly and carefully sunk his fangs into his daughter's neck. She whimpered a little at first, but was surprisingly quiet and brave. He eagerly gulped the sweet, sticky fluid. After about a minute, he pulled himself away from the little girl's jugular. He lay her next to him, scooting over so there was enough room for Dawn to lay beside him.
The slayer slipped into the bed beside him, and presented her neck to him. He kissed her neck before biting down. A minute later he pulled himself away from his love, feeling stronger already. He told Cordy that she could leave, gathered his family around him, and promptly fell asleep.
.*-*. ^ .*-*. ^ .*-*. ^ .*-*. ^ .*-*.
Cordelia put all the kids to bed, and sent Giles and Anya home. Dawn, Spike and Maggie were still fast asleep, all three of them healing. She and Oz lay down on the couch in each other's arms to wait for the couple to wake up.
This was how Dawn found them, around three in the morning, wrapped in each other's arms, snoring gently. She put a blanket over them and smiled.
Spike came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her slim form.
"I put Maggie in her own bed, Kim is on the floor in her and Joyce's room."
"They look so peaceful, so perfect."
"They do."
They walked upstairs to the bedroom.
"Spike?"
"Yeah luv?"
"You won't leave, right? Everyone I've ever admitted to loving has left."
"I'm not going anywhere pet. I've found my place in life. Here with you."
She smiled, and climbed into bed.
"I won't leave again"

Another shortie! I figure as long as I have them out relatively quickly, it's okay if they're a little short. I've been seeing this story almost as if it's a season of Buffy, and ending the chapters just about where an episode would end. Question of the week: Should Anya and Giles get significant others? or each other? or should they just stay single? Tell me what you think in your review!
