"No Pet, I don't like it." Spike shook his head hours later when Buffy and
Tomorrow had both calmed down enough to create full sentences. "It's too
dangerous."
"Right, because I'm supposed to have such a long life." Tom retorted. "Look it wasn't a suggestion, I think it's the only solution."
"Dying is never the solution." Spike fired back.
"It was for you. I want to be a part of the family for a long time and this is how I do it."
"Pet, be reasonable. You and I both know I'm not going to let Connor turn you."
"I never said I wanted Connor to turn me, and if I did, we wouldn't need your permission."
"You lost me Pet. If you don't want Connor to Oh No."
"Daddy Please, this is life and death. Permanent Death, not your and mom's type deaths where you are only gone a couple of months. Besides you said you'd kill whatever is scaring me, well it's my own mortality that scares me so kill it."
"Pet, there is no way I'm going to turn you. I would have to drain you almost dry and it is very hard to time it just right without killing the person. I couldn't take the risk."
"I understand. It is fine. I'll just go through the next several painful months in Europe slowly dying of cancer. I just hope the tour is over and I can come home to see you one last time before I die. Of course, I know I'll live on in your memory for the rest of eternity, that is unless you stake yourself after mom dies of old age, the only person left on earth who cares about you."
"Tomorrow will you stop guilt tripping your father. That's my job. Now, this has been too much to take in so I think we should all sleep on this and discuss it again in the morning once we've cleared our heads."
^^^^^^^^^^^
"So how did it go?" Connor asked sympathetically when Tom called him.
"We're going to discuss it again in the morning. They were just both really shaken up, especially after I asked dad to turn me personally"
"What! I thought I was going to turn you, you know since you turned me."
"Connor, my dad feels bad enough that this is our only option, without asking my boyfriend to do the dangerous procedure. You were already drained when I gave you my blood. A master vampire like Dad and Uncle Angel are the only ones who know how to drain a person properly without killing them. I think dad will feel better if he's in control of the situation."
"And what about me? I mean it is not like I want to turn you, but under the circumstances and since I am the one you are claimed to. I just thought I would do it. I can't believe you would ask your dad without even talking to me about it."
"And what about you, sneaking around with Lorne behind my back diagnosing me. Look, I don't want to fight. I talk to you tomorrow."
"Right, because I'm supposed to have such a long life." Tom retorted. "Look it wasn't a suggestion, I think it's the only solution."
"Dying is never the solution." Spike fired back.
