Title: I Won't Leave Again
Chapter: Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust
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) I love Spike's swearing. He wouldn't be Spike without the swearing.
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 before he died, but he did confer the whole demony thing onto her.
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) I'm just borrowing, and I promise I won't break anything. I might dust a few, though! (another evil laugh)
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 referred to as William at times, but I will make it clear that it is the vampire, not the boy.

Hey everybody! Here's the next chapter, I hope you like it! I've been sick, so I've been home all day with nothing to do except feel miserable and write, so I finished this much sooner than I thought I would. Only a couple more chapters left! We're getting close to the end. Of course, I'm sure, with enough reviews, I can be coaxed into writing a sequel. Enjoy!

The kids were safe in school, Oz and Cordy were going to pick them up, and she was sitting on her couch in the arms of the vampire she loved. Why then, did she feel so uneasy?
"Pet, whatcha thinkin' about?"
"I don't know. I just.. feel like something's about to happen.."
"Slayer sense?"
"More like Mommy sense." she laughed.
Before he could reply, Cordy and Oz came in, with Kim in tow.
"What happened? Where are the other kids?" Dawn asked.
"You mean Spike didn't pick them up?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, there was a fire at the school today, and the kids were let out a couple hours ago. They called me, and we picked up Kim, but Maggie, Joy, Anna, and Will weren't there. I asked the teacher, and she said their dad had picked them up already. I assumed that Spike had drank some Amares and got them already."
"Bloody Hell!"
"Cordy, call Giles, Hallie and Anya, Spike drink some Amares, Oz, grab weapons" she tossed him the key and pointed towards the trunk in the corner. She grabbed the list of baby-sitter's from the phone table, and whipped out her cell phone.
"Hey Jess? It's Dawn Summers. Sorry for the short notice, but do you think you could baby-sit this afternoon? It's just Kim. You'll be here in a couple minutes? Thanks."
"When we need everyone to face a demon, we get a baby-sitter. Our story is that Cordy, Anya, and I are sisters, and Giles is our dad. Hallie is our cousin. She doesn't look enough like us to be a sibling" she explained to Spike.
"Ah." he said, after taking a gulp of the Amares. "You really are the strangest girl I've ever loved."
"Hey! There is no way I am stranger than Drusilla."
"I dunno..." she grabbed a pillow off of the couch and threw it at him.
Giles, Hallie, and Anya rushed in, and Jess soon followed them. As soon as they were all ready, they piled into Spike's vampmobile and sped towards the mansion.
Angelus was waiting for them.
"Lover. My disobedient childe. Shouldn't you be dust by now? The two little Vengeance Demons. Wolfboy. Watcher. and of course, how could I forget my wonderful secretary."
"Angel." Cordy started warningly.
"No longer exists."
"Where are my children, Angelus?"
"Oh, I've forgotten my manners. Please, follow me."
They walked to the back of the mansion, then down a flight of stairs. They were in a large basement. Maggie and Will were in one large prison cell, and Joy and Anna were in a second, slightly smaller cell.
"Spike, my niece Maggie has told me the most astounding news. It seems you are her father."
If Angel thought he could surprise his childe with this news, he was very wrong.
Spike shrugged.
"What else is new?"
"You mean you knew? Yet you weren't here?"
"Didn't know till recently. Now give my daughter, my nieces, and my nephew back. Now."
"Funny, you didn't mention your god-daughter."
"I said nieceS didn't I?"
Angelus had a look of confusion on his face.
"Remember Robert? It wasn't just good enough for you to kill your own family, you had to kill mine too." 'and turn my brother' he added quietly, just loud enough for Angel to hear it, but no one else.
"What is it with the order of Aurelius and slayers?"
(*-*) ~ (*-*) ~ (*-*) ~ (*-*) ~ (*-*)
They had been arguing with Angelus for almost two hours now. Dawn was surprised it hadn't come to blows. The evil vampire had let Hallie teleport Anna and Joy home, and Will and Maggie had been unlocked from the prison cell.
Angelus was demanding that Spike deny his claim on Dawn, and that she, Maggie and Will come with him to his alternate dimension.
"Not going to happen."
"Spike, why don't you just give up? All the women you loved, they've been my castoffs. Doesn't that get tiring? Knowing that you're sleeping with someone who is really still in love with me?"
"All the women?"
"Dru, Buffy, Dawn."
"Okay, I'll give you Dru, but Buffy, never loved her, and as for Dawn, if anyone got cast off in that relationship, it was you. and she may have loved you once, but now, all that love is for me"
Angelus growled, shifted into game face, and launched himself at Spike. Spike was ready, and as the bones in his face shifted, he stepped to the side. He was ready when Angelus came at his from the other side, and they started to fight in earnest.
Anya pulled Will into a corner, Cordy and Giles helped to stand guard over the two. Maggie ran to her mother, and Oz stood with them.
The two vampires were a flurry of kicks, punches, and various acrobatics, while the rest of the room looked on in wonder.
Spike had Angel on the ground, and was about to stake him when-
"No! Don't kill Daddy Spike!" Drusilla came running into the room.
Spike turned to face her, and Angelus used the distraction to his advantage.
As he plunged the stake into Spike's chest, Dawn screamed and closed her eyes, not bearing to look as he love turned to dust.
"No!!"
Maggie shot up, and as her father collapsed to the ground, she grabbed Mr. Pointy out of her pocket and launched herself at Angelus. The evil vampire had assumed the room would be to shocked to retaliate, so he was expecting the little blonde to shove a stake through his heart. He exploded into dust.
Dawn looked up, and did a double take.
Spike was holding Maggie in his arms, comforting her, the stake still sticking out of his chest, _just below the heart_.
Dawn ran to them, and after pulling the stake out of him, she too was gathered into his arms, sobbing her eyes out.
"I told you I wouldn't leave." he murmured into her hair.
