Chapter 7.
The next day when Dawn came into the bedroom to help Buffy dress, the Slayer noticed that Dawn wasn't smiling. Why wasn't Dawn smiling? Smiling meant you were happy. Dawn wasn't happy? Buffy decided to ask Dawn.
"Dawn not happy?" Dawn stopped moving and looked at Buffy. She forced a smile onto her face.
"Of course I'm happy Buffy." She couldn't say more for fear of breaking down and crying as she had done the night before when Tara gave her the news that shattered the last remaining hope she had that Buffy would get better.
Buffy felt better now she knew Dawn was happy. She wanted Dawn to always smile and be happy. Dawn was pretty when she smiled. Buffy couldn't recognise the heartbroken look in her sisters eyes.
*****
Dawn had told Spike about how there were some boxes of toys from when her and Buffy were children. Whilst Buffy and Dawn were eating their lunch Spike made his way down the stairs to the basement and retrieved the boxes of toys. The boxes were stored high up and so they had escaped the damage caused by the flooding some months before.
Spike took the boxes up into the living room and opened them. He emptied the contents onto the floor and went to fetch his girls. Just before he entered the kitchen he noticed a large doll among the toys. He went back and put the doll back in one of the boxes, he'd had enough of insane women their dolls to last him two of even his long lifetimes.
*****
Buffy saw Spike come back into the kitchen and she smiled at him. She knew she was smiling a lot lately but she was happy and she knew that if you are happy you smile, so she smiled often.
Buffy thought she could remember a time when she wasn't happy and didn't smile very often but she thought that it couldn't be real, she had Spike and Dawn so why should she have been unhappy?
*****
Buffy took Spike's hand when he held it out to her and let him lead her into the living room. When she saw the toys scattered across the floor she looked at Spike questioningly.
"Go on luv." He motioned for Buffy to pick up the toys. "They're all for you." Spike would have endured another session of torture from Glory to be able to see the look of pure happiness on Buffy's face at any other time.
As it was the moment only served to cause him more pain than the hell god had ever succeeded in achieving. Was this what Buffy's life would be like from now on? Playing with toys and barely being able to speak in sentences, unable to even dress herself. Spike vowed that he would find a way to cure her, even if when she was well again she tried to remove him from her life once again. That would be a small price to pay to get back the Buffy he had fallen in love with.
Until then nothing would stop him from looking after the two Summers girls.
*****
That night as she waited for Spike to join her in bed Buffy thought about her day. Dawn had helped her get dressed again, she liked it when Dawn helped her and she had picked out the clothes she wanted to wear and Dawn had let her! Dawn was always nice to her and even cooked pancakes for lunch when Buffy had asked for them.
The day had become even better when Spike had given her all the nice toys to play with. She had spent the rest of the day playing with all the toys. She liked Spike a lot, he was very nice to her and didn't leave her alone. Buffy remembered a word she thought meant what she was feeling for Spike but wasn't sure how to tell him.

AN: Another short chapter but its really difficult to write from insane Buffy's perspective. More up later today.
There will eventually be more of a plot to this fic so no worries that it will just be Spike and Dawn feeding Buffy and putting her to bed over and over but I'm using these chapters to establish the story. I also want the story to be mainly Buffy/Spike interaction with only a limited amount of contact with other people.
Keep reviewing!
