"Buffy?" Tara asked.
"It's just that I am scared that I won't be a good wife and mother, I mean I couldn't even keep a goldfish alive, and when we did that thing in highschool with the eggs, it turned out that my baby was a demon!" Buffy said setting her cappuccino down.
"Buffy all of our eggs were demons" Willow said trying to comfort her friend.
"Yea but!-" Buffy said.
"But nothing Buffy! You'll be a great mom, and being a wife will take time to get used to but it isn't any different than dating, your just tied together, again not any different than now" Tara filled in.
"Are you sure it'll be ok?" Buffy asked. "what if he thinks I'm a bad wife? Or he gets the issues with me being stronger like Riley did?"
"Buffy, Riley was in need of some serious therapy, and you and Spike are of equal strength. That's why he could never kill you and vis versa and he loves you, non of that matters when your in love" Dawn said placing her hand on her sister's shoulder.
"When did you get so smart?" Buffy asked as she hugged her sister.
"Oh I've always been smart, I just like to hide it, its more fun acting like an idiot" Dawn answered and Buffy laughed.
"So girls are we up for some more shopping?" Tara asked smiling at her friends.
"Yep" Buffy said and finished her drink.

"So Spike.." Wesley said uncomfortable. Angel was in his bedroom changing Conner and Spike got left in the foyer of the Hyperion talking to the Angel crew.
"So watcher" Spike retorted.
"How's the being human thing working out for you?"
"Not bad. Definitely liking the not getting burnt when I go outside during the day. But I forgot how hard it was to piss" Spike said casually.
"Yes, I can see where..that might be a...err problem" Wesley said blushing. Gunn snickered and Fred just smiled.
"So anyway! You and Buffy are getting married huh?" Cordelia asked.
"You were there cheerleader..." Spike said wondering what her problem was.
"Oh yea right.." Cordelia said uncomfortable.
"What is all your guys' problem? Your acting like I am still a vampire!" Spike said annoyed.
"No problem. Just its differant" Cordelia answered.
"What do you mean?" Spike asked curious.
"We were used to you being evil and un-dead." Wesley answered.
"You hardly knew me giles jr"
"Yea you see that's the thing. We don't know anything about you and we don't know what to expect from someone who used to be evil un-dead guy. The only one that knew what you were like, besides Angel, was Cordy"
"Point being?"
"We going to serve you, correct?" Wesley said.
"Yea..that's what we were told" Spike answered.
"Well what do we call you? Spike? William? Your highness?" Gunn asked.
"You can call me Spike. Nothing has changed. Buffy and I are only filling out a destiny, and with it came a few perks" Spike explained. "I want to atleast try and get along with all of you. So if you have a problem speak now or shut the fuck up" Spike said smiling.
"No problem" Gunn said.
"We just didn't want you to uhh hate us or something just because of Angel" Fred said.
"Oh peaches and I made up. He's happy, I'm happy...it's a happy thing" Spike said and laughed. "That's something I never thought I would hear myself say" he said to himself.
"Yea no kidding" Angel said walking out of his bedroom.
"Well I'm off, I have some shopping to do, if I don't buy some clothes the little soon to be mrs. is going to be miffed." Spike said walking towards the door.
"Wait Spike" Angel said and whispered something to Cordelia. She giggled then addressed Spike.
"Thanks"
"For what luv?"
"For falling in love with Buffy" she answered plainly. Spike smiled and nodded understanding what she meant.
"I'll expect to see you all at the wedding" he said as he opened the front door.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world" Angel answered and hugged Cordelia.

"Good Afternoon Sir" the small man at the car dealership said.
"Hi, I am interested in buying a car, I want to take one home today and I don't want any lip. Is that clear?" Spike said smiling cheekily.
"yes sir" the man replied. "what are you looking for?"
"Something in a convertible, new. seats at least four" Spike answered looking around.
"Well then I have the perfect thing for you" the man said gesturing Spike to follow. The came upon a silver two door convertible with black leather seats. Spike was impressed.
"This is our newest model. The Chrysler Sebring. It has a automatic 6 cyl engine, bucket front seats, front wheel drive, 6 speakers, 4 disc cd player, am/fm radio, child safety seatbelts, power windows, built in cell phone holder.."
"How much?" Spike asked.
"23,690 sir" the man said smiling. The british man then looked to he thinking.
'Buffy?' Spike thought. He had been able to block of Buffy all day or rather she had been blocking him all day.
'Yea?' Buffy thought as she was looking at a pair of shoes at Macy's.
'Can you see what I'm looking at?' . Buffy closed her eyes and began to concentrate and a silver convertible entered her mind. Tara, Willow and Dawn looked at her quizzically wondering what was wrong.
'Its pretty' Buffy answered with a smile.
'I wanna buy it luv' Spike said smiling at her reaction. The salesman at the car dealership took Spike's facial expression as a good thing.
'Do you want me to meet you?' Buffy asked still smiling.
'No its ok sweets I got it' Spike answered.
'How are you going to pay for it?'
'Same way I payed for the ring luv, with my money' he answered smiling at the salesman.
'How do you have so much money Spike?' Buffy asked curious.
"What's going on Buffy?" Dawn asked her sister who stood holding the shoe's with a grin on her face.
"I'll tell you a minute" Buffy answered.
'Little bit is gonna love it Buffy' Spike coaxed.
'Don't change the subject!'
'My father left me some money when he died and I have been saving it until the time was right,.' he answered. 'I think now is that time'.
'God I love interest' he filled in before she answerd
"Awww" Buffy said out loud melting.
"What?" Willow asked.
'Ok Spike buy the car' Buffy said. 'You wanted my approval?'
"Ofcourse luv. I wouldn't be a good husband if I didn't' he answered and then blocked her off again.
"I love that man" Buffy said to herself completly turning to mush.
"Besides the obvious, why?" Tara asked completly clueless as to what was going on.
"You don't know?" Buffy asked.
"I only the really important things Buffy" Tara answered.
"Spike is buying this kick ass convertible for us" Buffy said hugging Dawn "and he wanted my opinion on it". Dawn began to jump up and down and squeal with glee.
"THIS IS SO COOL!" she said a little to loudly. She blushed and lowered her voice when some people turned to look at her.
"What color is it?" Dawn asked.
"Silver with a black interior" Buffy stated.
"Yea!" Dawn said hugging her sister.

Spike was driving down Hollywood Boulevard enjoying the awesome speakers that came with the car. He had sold the desoto and was driving back from the hotel after dropping of the clothes that he bought. He spotted the girls walking down the street and pulled over.
"You pretty ladies want a ride?" Spike said as he pulled up. Dawn squealed and Buffy smiled.
"Pop the trunk Spike?" Tara asked. Each of them were holding at least 6 bags each. Spike popped the trunk and, after they put the bags in, got in. Buffy in the front and Dawn in between Tara and Willow in the back. Willow commented as soon as she sat down how the seats felt like butter.
"Did you girls have fun?" Spike asked as he pulled away from the curb.
"Sure did" Willow answered. "Tara and I threw caution to the wind and bought matching outfits, Buffy got her wedding dress, Dawnie got a whole wack of clothes and so did Buffy" Willow said quickly.
"Hold on there red, back up a minute, did you say Buffy bought her wedding dress?" Spike said looking at the witch as they came to a stop light. He looked over to Buffy who just smiled and blushed a bit.
"No, she said Buffy got a new dress" Tara said trying to cover for Willow's blunder.
"Your not that great of a liar Tara" Buffy said and they all laughed.
"Yea I bought my wedding dress" Buffy said to Spike.
"Well isn't that just neat" Spike said and laughed, kissing Buffy before he drove through the green light.
"You girls feel like dinner? I'm buying.." Spike asked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day....
"you all packed and ready to go luv?" Spike asked Dawn who sat in front of the tv again.
"Yep" she said munching on some chips.
"Alright, where are your bags?" he asked.
"In my room" she said waving her hand. A small green spark flew from her fingers and hit Spike in the chest.
"Whoa bit, watch what your doing" Spike said trying to catch his balance. Dawn jumped up from the couch and ran over to Spike.
"Buffy!!" Dawn screamed for her sister as Spike's face began to flush.
"What?" Buffy asked coming out of the bedroom. When she noticed Spike wavering she ran to him.
"What happened?" Buffy asked frantic as she held on to Spike.
"I was talking to Spike and I waved my hand like this" Dawn said apologetically. When she waved her hand to show Buffy, another small spark flew from her hand and hit one of the apples on the table. The apple grew twice its size. Dawn stood staring.
"What the?" Buffy asked staring at the Apple. Spike moaned and she averted her attention back to him.
"What happened?" Spike asked regaining his balance.
"I-I-I don't know...I waved my hand at you and this green spark came out my hand! I did it again and another one came out and hit the apple and look at it now" she said gesturing to the apple with her head.
"Holy shit!" Spike said in shock.
"Are you ok Spike?" Buffy asked holding to his arm.
"Yea I'm fine. I just felt a bit dizzy for a moment is all" he said kissing Buffy's forehead. "I think Dawn is starting to feel her powers though" he said looking at the small brunette.
'That was some powerful spark though' he commented in his mind.
'You sure your ok?' Buffy asked concerned.
'Yea I'm fine, more worried about bit though' he answered.
"Dawn are *you* ok?" Buffy asked her sister who had walked over to the apple and was examining it.
"I thought I was supposed to heal? Not make Spike dizzy and make an apple blow up?" she whispered loudly.
"I'm calling Tara" Buffy said. Her and Willow were going back to Sunnydale with them and were probably still packing.
A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. Spike went and opened it and the two girls entered. Tara walked over to Dawn and hugged her.
"Are you alright sweetie?" she asked.
"Yea..just a little confused" Dawn answered.
"Dawn, I'll explain in a minute, just first I want you to try something ok?" Tara asked and Dawn nodded.
"Can you guys go over and stand on the other side of the couch?" Tara asked Buffy, Spike and Willow. They walked over and then Tara turned back to Dawn.
"Ok honey, what I want you to do is concentrate. Think of the Apple in its original form and then wave your hand at it again" Tara said and Dawn nodded again. She closed her eyes and waved her hand again. A small green spark flew from her hand again and hit the apple wish returned to its original size.
"That is so cool" Dawn said looking at the apple and then her hand. Tara laughed and hugged her.
"I knew you could do it sweetie"
"So what's going on Tara?" Spike asked coming over with Buffy and Willow.
"Her power's have developed more than we originally thought" the blonde witch answered.
"Why?" Buffy asked.
"I don't know. I wasn't told this would happen, all I know is that she shouldn't been able to do that for a few more months"
"Can I heal?" Dawn asked.
"I don't know, until someone gets hurt we can't test it" Tara answered.
"Hurt me Buffy" Spike said to his fiancé.
"What?" Buffy asked surprised.
'You usually only say that in bed' she thought and he laughed.
'I have I told you how much I admire your one track mind luv' he asked and she giggled.
"What do you want me to do?" Buffy asked him.
"Hit me I guess" he answered. She smiled and punched him in the jaw.
"OW!" Spike said. "Did you have to hit so fucking bloody hard?" he whined.
"Sorry" Buffy said half-smiling.
"Ok Dawn, take your hand and place over Spike's jaw. Concentrate hard on making the pain go away" Tara said and Dawn placed her hand a few inches above Spike's jaw. A small ball came out of her and spread over the area that Buffy had hit. It got brighter and then disappeared.
"It's like you never hit me" Spike said rubbing his jaw.
"Well that test was conclusive" Willow said.
"What else can I do?" Dawn asked Tara.
"Umm..let me think. You appear to be in the second stage of your powers, in the first one you can heal, and in the second one you can change the molecules of organic things and levitate small objects."
"How do I levitate?" Dawn asked.
"Think of the object you want to levitate in your mind and then lift your hand slowly". Dawn looked around the room and her eyes fell upon the vase of roses. She looked to one of the roses and raised her hand. The rose lifted out of the vase. Dawn smiled and moved her hand and the rose followed her movement. Getting the idea Dawn moved the rose and placed it into her sister's hands.
'This is amazing' Buffy thought as Dawn placed the rose in her hand.
"Wow" Willow said. Dawn smiled and Tara hugged her.
"You learn fast sweetie" she said and Dawn laughed.
Still reeling a bit from watching her sister at work Buffy asked,
"What's the third stage tara?"
"I don't know..I haven't been told that much yet" she answered.
"Oh well, I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come from it" Spike said.
"Yea" Buffy said smiling at her sister.
"Are you guys ready to go home?" Willow asked.
"Were all packed" Buffy said looking at Spike who nodded.
"How about you two?" Spike asked Tara and Willow.
"All set" Tara answered.
"Well then lets check out" Buffy said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunnydale 7:30 pm
After dropping Tara and Willow off at there apartment Spike, Buffy and Dawn drove home. They had carried all their bags and were now moving Buffy's and a little bit of Spike's stuff into the master bedroom. Buffy had bought new curtains and bedding and her and Dawn were currently placing them on the bed.
"What are we going to do with mom's old bedding Buffy?" Dawn asked.
"I wanna put it away" Buffy said as she tucked in the corner of the sheet. The bedding she had bought was red and gold, Buffy had really like the color combo at the hotel so she figured that she would go with what she liked. Spike came in carrying a pile of Buffy's clothes on their hangers and set them down on the chair in the corner.
"What do you girls feel like for dinner?" he asked.
"Pizza?" Buffy asked her sister.
"Pizza!" Dawn agreed.
"I guess Pizza it is" Spike said reaching for the phone. "What do you girls want? I know I want something with garlic, I haven't had it in ages!"
"Why not?" Dawn asked.
"Vampires tend to shy away from garlic remember?"
"Oh yea" Dawn said smiling at her soon to be brother-in-law. "I want all cheese" she said tucking the corner opposite Buffy's in.
"Well that's for her" Buffy said. "Ham and pineapple for me. What are gonna have sweetie" Buffy smiled innocently.
"You girls can eat a pizza each?" Spike asked dumbfounded. "I mean I would expect that from the slayer, but you Dawnie?"
"What can I say, she helped raise me" Dawn commented. Spike shook his head and began to dial the phone.
20 minutes later...
Ding Dong.
"I'll get it" Buffy said bounding down the stairs.
"Ok!" Spike said from the kitchen. Buffy opened the door and her jaw dropped.
"Hello Buffy"
