Chapter 18
Spike and Xander walked back to the table. Buffy stood up and let Spike sit down.
"You guys ok"
"Yeah" Spike said coolly "Xander and I just wanted to get away from you girls and you hair and make up talk, right Xander"
Xander nodded smiling at Buffy.
"Ok what's going" Buffy asked
"Nothing" Xander said smiling
"Ok so why are you guys being so nice to each other"
"We boys are just sticking together," Spike added
"Oh ok" Buffy said not really believing them. "So what's there to do around here"
"Well there is the lake, you can swim or canoe, can you swim Spike" Dawn asked.
"Umm I don't know maybe, I can't remember"
"I'll teach you" Tara pipped up "I mean if you wanna learn I am a great swimmer"
"Thanks, ill take you up on that"
"If you don't wanna swim Spike there are these long nature walks that me and Xander go on, you just find a secluded area and" Anya didn't have a chance to finish her sentence as Xander had covered her mouth.
"Umm yeah find a secluded area and listen to the birds" Xander said unconvincedly.
The girls raised their eyes brows at Xander and Anya while Spike just laughed "I'll bet you can"
"Ohh at night we can have a bon fire" Willow added excitedly "with marshmallows"
"Basically Buffy we are here to relax, I brought this really thick book and I sit by the lake and read like the whole day" Dawn said smiling looking off in the distance.
"What she means is she pretends to read" Willow added "She's actually checking out the guys staying in a cabin over there" Willow said pointing to one directly in front of the lake.
"What I can't help it if that's where they are," she said smiling sheepishly.
"So I see there is a lot of site seeing to be done all round" Buffy said looking at the group.
"So Buff, did you guys get settled in last night" Xander asked.
"Yeah pretty much we left some of our stuff in the car, its still in the car park. Can you go get it Spike "
"Ok well I am going to go have a shower," Xander said
Anya looked disappointed "That's so not fair, me and Xander can't share one, I cant wait to get home"
Buffy looked around "umm where are the showers by the way"
Xander pointed to a grove of tress "through there, girls on one side guys on the other"
"Cool I really need one, I am sure Spike is thankful he doesn't pick up scents as well as he used to"
"Oh don't worry love I know you smell," he said with a smirk.
Buffys mouth dropped and she got off Spikes lap "fine then I'll stand over here" she said walking away.
Spike gave Buffy puppy dog eyes but she ignored him.
"I'm gonna have a shower then" she said walking off to there cabin.
"Hey Buffy, I'm going to have one to come past our cabin first its number 23, ill show you" Dawn said getting up from her seat.
Buffy nodded and walked off to her cabin, a few minutes later she exited with a towel and a change of clothes. Walking over to cabin 23 she knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. Dawn opened the door quickly almost knocking Buffy in the face.
"Hey you ready" Buffy said taking a step back.
"Yep" she said draping an arm around her sister.
Buffy put her arm around Dawn and walked off in the direction of the showers.
"So Dawn any hot guys"
Dawn looked at Buffy shocked "Buffy what about Spike"
"I was just asking," she said laughing.
"Oh well in that case yes heaps, Willow was right I am there for the perv, so you, and Spike huh".
"Yeah me and Spike" she said with a smile on her face "is that umm ok, I mean are you ok with it"
"Would you care"
"Dawn" Buffy said hurt "of course I care what you think"
"Oh no Buffy" Dawn said hurriedly "what I meant was that you seem so happy with him, if I didn't like it I doubt I would have much say"
"Well no" she said sheepishly "but you are ok right"
"Oh yeah Buffy I love it I think its great, you to are so happy"
"Thank god" Buffy said stopping and giving her sister a tight hug. "I do value your opinion Dawn but what I have with Spike I don't want to lose not after all we have been through. I have you to thank for that"
Dawn hugged her back "don't worry Buffy I don't want you guys to lose each other either, come on lets go take a shower and start smelling beautiful for Spike"
Buffy and Dawn ran off towards the shower.
Half an hour later the girls emerged feeling fresh and smelling clean.
"So Dawn did you wanna come and stay with Spike and I or are you fine with Will and Tara"
"Well I was going to stay with them cause I didn't know who you were bringing"
"And now that you know its Spike" Buffy asked walking towards her cabin.
"I guess I will still stay with them, I want to give you time alone"
Buffy smiled "Trust me Dawn we have had plenty of time alone, I miss you, Spike misses you"
"Are you sure Buffy I don't mind staying with them"
"You're staying with us and that's final, now go get your stuff"
Dawn gave Buffy a huge grin then ran of to grab her things. Buffy walked off to her cabin. Spike was inside because the car was now parked by the cabin and she didn't think he would be socialising with her friends. Buffy knocked on the door.
"Spike are you decent Dawns going to be here soon"
"Yeah luv"
Buffy walked into the cabin and saw Spike lazily lying on the bed. Buffy dumped her things on one of the chairs and then went and joined him on the bed.
"You and the bit going to go hang out" Spike asked
"Nope shes brining her stuff over, I asked her to stay with us, is that alright"
Spike kissed Buffy on the head "of course its alright I luv bit you know that"
Buffy and Spike heard a knock on the door.
"Are you guys making out, I mean its so cool if you are I just wanna make sure your both decent"
"Just give me a second to zip my pants up bit"
Buffy hit Spike on the chest. "Come in Dawn, Spikes never going to be decent but at least he has clothes on"
Dawn giggled then opened the door and walked in with a handful of clothes. She dumped them on the table in much the same manner Buffy had with her clothes. She saw Buffy and Spike cuddling on the bed and smiled. Spike tightened his grip on Buffy with one arm and motioned for Dawn with the other. Dawn walked over to the bed and went to sit by Spike. Spike shook his head and both Buffy and Dawn looked confused.
"You belong in the middle bit tell your sister to shove over"
Buffy smiled and moved over to allow Dawn to slide between them. Dawn jumped on the bed and wriggled down. Spike rolled on his side and put his arm over Dawn. Buffy did the same placing her hand over Spikes. Dawn looked down at the hand clasped over her stomach.
"Finally" Dawn said.
Buffy and Spike looked at Dawn confused.
"We are family" she said clasping both her hands over Buffy and Spikes

Authors Notes: Ok well this chapter was kinda a birthday present to my self. My Birthday is on the 20th (tomorrow) and I turn 20. Every year I buy my self a birthday present and do something special just me. Well I bought my self a lamp so I can write at night and this is the something that I am doing that I love to do on my own. This chapter was kinda cute and mushy and I guess kinda like what I hope my family would really be like.
