Chapter 19
After laying on the bed with Dawn and Spike Buffy leaned forward and wiggled out of their hold.
"Alright you to lazy bones get up I wanna see this place, maybe go on one of those walks Anya was talking about.
Both Dawn and spike raised their eyebrows at her.
"The walk not the extra curricular activities, get your mind out of the gutter you to"
Dawn got off the bed.
"Ok ok, look you two go spend some time together, ill get the rest of my stuff and then hang out by the lake"
Dawn ran off leaving Buffy and Spike alone.
"You do realise why she's going to the lake right, cause your not acting the way I thought you would"
Spike looked up at her confused. "She said she likes to read by the lake"
"There was more to it"
Spike looked at her sheepishly. "Umm I wasn't really paying attention, I was focusing on her sister"
Buffy smiled and sat on the bed to change in to a pair of walking shoes.
"She's there for the perv"
"What" Spike asked finally sitting up in bed.
"There's a cabin full of lusty boys right near the lake, she's probably going to go out there in that little bikini and sunbake"
Spike jumped out of bed and was at the door in a second. Buffy quickly stopped him before he got out the door.
"I was joking about the bikini Spike it's probably not that little," she said trying to control her laughter
Spikes face reddened with rage.
"Calm down" she said stroking his back. "I am just teasing" "So she's not going to be out there in a bikini," he said a little relieved.
"No she probably is just calm down I was just trying to get a rise out of you cause you weren't reacting to the idea of Dawn picking up guys"
Spikes rage began to build again "the lil bit is to young to pick up boys, I'll kill the ponce who touches her"
Buffy smiled and led Spike to the table to sit down.
"Now there's the reaction I expected, it's nice to know you care about her as much as I do"
Spike looked at Buffy shocked "of course I care about the lil bit"
"Good cause she looks up to you, your like a father figure, she never really knew my father and Xanders more like a big brother"
Spike was shocked to say the least sure he knew Dawn looked up to him but not as a father. He was a father" Spikes grin grew.
"AWWW, does Spike like the idea of being a daddy," she said putting on a little kid voice.
Spike shook of his goofy grin. "Oh umm well you know" he said putting on his tough talk. "Never thought of it"
Hes so cute she thought, trying to act tough when she knew inside that he was proud to be part of a family. Buffy leant down and kissed him. Spike deepened it filled with so much passion from finally being part of a family, being the head male.
Buffy broke away from the kiss. "We better get out of here before Dawn walks in on us trying to make this family a little bit bigger".
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Dawn saw Buffy and Spike leave their cabin hand in hand. Buffy smiled since her mom had died her life seemed empty. Buffy tried her best but she had other things to worry about and then she died. She always felt lost. Sure the gang helped fill the void a little but it wasn't until Buffy had come back that she felt a little happier. Sure she had been a little spacey but she had spent more time being an older sister then trying to be mom. Dawn could already tell that Buffy was happier with Spike. She had never seen her that happy she even seemed content and safe.
Buffy never felt safe she was always worried that people would leave. For some reason Buffy didn't seem that way and Dawn wanted to know why. It wasn't until Dawn was in the cabin with the rest of her clothes that she remembered the conversation she had heard earlier. Buffy had mentioned a ring. Dawn ran over to Buffys things and began going through them. She eventually found a ring box and opened it excitably. Dawn looked at the ring strangely, it was beautiful. She didn't understand why Buffy wouldn't want to wear in front of her friends. A smile crept to Dawns face.
"An engagement ring" she exclaimed out loud.
Sure it wasn't your typical engagement ring but Spike wasn't your typical kind of guy. It was the only reason that made sense on why Buffy wasn't wearing it, unless she didn't like it. She had to be stupid if she didn't like it and Dawn would gladly keep it.
Dawn became saddened. Buffy hadn't told her. She could understand not telling the group but she was her sister. An evil grin came to her face; she would make Buffy tell her by taking the ring. If Buffy couldn't find it she would surly have to ask Dawn to help and then she would weasel it out of her. Dawn put the ring box in her pocket and made her way to the lake she had some site seeing of her own to do.
Authors Notes: ok well heres a second chapter to make up for the lack of them last week. Now working on another to make up for it so sorry.
