Buffy picked up the baby from the crib and turned to Willow and Tara who were sitting at the round table. The baby cried softly and she rocked him slowly back and forth. "Spike!" she called. Spike came up from the basement and handed Anya a large box. "There. Last one for the day." Spike walked over and took the baby gently into his arms. The baby cooed and giggled as she saw Spike. "Sure kiddo. You're going to like the big bad vampire more than your mum?" he chucked. Buffy smiled as Joyce reached towards Spike and held his finger tightly.
Tara looked up from the books as Buffy sat down across from her. "Is there anything? Any spell that could make us human?" buffy sighed as she pulled her hair back. Tara threw the book she had been looking through onto the growing pile of non-useful books.
"We are looking at top speed, Buffy. The slayer's got their powers from the ancient Shamans. Some of their magic we do not even have the plants that they call for. The spells are complex and a couple not even Willow can figure out." Buffy looked over at Willow who just shrugged and kept looking through the index of the books.
Buffy held her head and fought back tears. "I don't want to give the baby up but if she is in danger we might have to." Spike turned quickly as he heard this. "We are not giving Joyce up." Buffy glared over at him as a sign to shut up but he just kept on with his I know what I'm doing speech. "Buffy do you know how important a child is? I look at her and I see you. I look at her and I see me. She is everything to us and you know that. You can't decide that you'll give her up unless I agree with it. I helped with this baby." Buffy stood up angrily.
"You didn't carry him around for 9 months now did you?" she shouted. Spike growled dangerously. "No. But I didn't almost get the baby killed did I?" Buffy blushed and looked down at the ground. Joyce started to cry and Spike held her close trying to calm her. "Hush… It's okay." Joyce cried louder but she stopped once Buffy walked over and held her hand.
Spike looked down at Buffy and sighed. "She's right you know? We have to stop arguing like this." Buffy nodded. "I'm sorry Spike." She whispered tearfully. Spike smiled and kissed her on the cheek. "I'm sorry." She shook her head. "No spike I'm sorry." Anya sighed heavily. "Your both sorry, There you happy?" Buffy laughed. "Yes Anya."
______________________________________________________________________
Buffy leaned back onto Spike as the moonlight bathed over them. "This is nice." She whispered. Spike nodded. "Very nice." Buffy turned so she could see him.
"Are you worried about Joyce being at the magic box with them while we're here?" she asked nervously. Spike looked up at the stars. "Nah. They'll take care of her." Buffy leaned onto his chest again and sighed. "I still can't believe we're parents." Spike took a deep breath. "Me neither."
Spike smirked and whispered into Buffy's ear. "I know something we haven't done in a while." Buffy blushed and turned again to look at him. "Your kidding right?" Spike crushed his lips to hers showing all the want and passion he had kept in the last few months. Buffy pulled away trying to catch her breath. "Take it easy. I've only been out of the hospital for a couple of days. I'm not wonder women…yet" she kissed him again and his hands roamed up her sides to hold her close.
_______________________________________________________________________
Anya closed the cash register and moved to lock the door. "I think those two are so cute. Why does she get the happy family though? I wanted it longer than she did." She complained as she walked up the steps.
Tara giggled as willow put down the last book and moved towards her. "I know two people around here who are a happy family." She whispered seductively. Tara leaned over to kiss her but fell back as a blast rang through the store from the front of the store.
Willow looked as the dust settled trying to see what was coming. Anya ran out of the dust and shouted. "Run!! It's a Grethmank demon!!" Anya fell to her knees as a something large hit her over the head.
Willow looked to Tara who ran to the crib and took the baby. Willow stood proudly as the demon came out into the open and Willow could see it.
The demon was about as tall as Spike but it had red horns and weird black robes on. The demon walked slowly towards Willow with its hands held together.
Willow raised her hand to shout an incantation but she found her voice was gone and she could not move at all. The demon laughed and walked towards the crib and looked down into it.
He roared in aggravation and stormed over to willow and grabbed her throat. "Where is the child?" Willow felt a strange power pour into her and she choked out.
"What child?" the demon growled again and pulled her to the crib. "This child. The one that was borne by a Slayer and Vampire! Where is it?" she whispered, "What do you want with the child?!" the demon shook her harshly as she cried. "That is not your problem is it Wicca! Now tell me where the child is!" Willow shook her head. "I… will…not… tell you!" the demon threw her down and roared loudly.
________________________________________________________________________
Buffy pulled away from Spike quickly and they both sat up. "Buffy did you hear that?" spike whispered cautiously.
Buffy buttoned her shirt back up and stood. "Yes I did. What was it though?" spike pulled his duster on and held his hand out to Buffy. "Let's go find out…"
Buffy took his hand and they ran through the woods towards the magic box. "Don't let go...you hear me?" spike hissed as they ran faster. "I don't want you getting lost." Buffy answered "Okay." But it was drowned out by another roar.
"Oh god Spike what if they're after Joyce?" Spike heard what buffy had said and he ran faster. He was not going to lose his daughter. Buffy hung to his hand as he sped up. She was so scared. She didn't want to lose Joyce.
________________________________________________________________________
Dawn walked into the back of the Magic box and closed the door. "Buffy? Guys? I'm here!" she walked out into the main part of the store and gasped as she saw the front door lying there in splinters. The windowpanes were empty and the glass was shattered on the ground. Dawn backed away ready to run but something hit her hard over the head and she fell to the ground.
The demon growled down at her and walked slowly towards the steps that led to the Dark arts books. He hissed softly and climbed up the steps.
________________________________________________________________________
Tara backed up against the wall as she saw the shadow of the Demon coming up the stairs. She couldn't move. She couldn't yell for help. The demon stepped up onto the floor and growled in pleasure as he saw Tara.
"Well what do we have here? Are you another nice little Wicca? I suggest you be smart and hand the baby over…" he hissed. Tara whimpered and tried to move but she still couldn't. The demon pried her hands off the baby and took her into his arms. "Such a pretty little Baby."
Tara watched in horror as the demon raised a claw and scratched Joyce's cheek. Blood ran down her pale skin and she cried loudly. Tara wanted to do something but she couldn't. The demon slapped Tara hard and growled again.
"Now where is the key?" Tara gulped. He wanted Dawn!! Tara shivered nervously and he grabbed her by the throat. "TELL ME!!" he roared. Tara broke into tears and he threw her to the floor below.
Tara landed hard on the table and flinched as she heard a crack. She lift her hand from beneath her head and saw the blood smeared over it. The last thing she saw before blackness was the Demon walking towards Dawn. "No…" she whispered.
The demon picked dawn up and held her on his shoulder. "Now off we go." He put a hand over the Baby's mouth and then with a flash of fire he was gone.
________________________________________________________________________
Buffy ran into the store with Spike by her side. Buffy noticed the hint of a demon having been there but it was Spike who noticed Anya, Willow, and Tara knocked out.
Spike ran to Tara while Buffy ran towards Willow.
"Tara?" spike called as he lifted her head. There was blood from her shoulder and a large bruise on her cheek but from what he could tell there were no other injures. "Tara?" he called again.
Tara eyes flickered open and she took a deep breath before whispering softly. "Spike. He took them." Spike sat back and looked at her. "Who took who?" he asked. Tara took another breath. "The demon took Dawn…and Joyce. I tried to stop them. I really did. Spike please forgive me…" Spike turned to Buffy who was trying to wake Willow up.
"Buffy check the crib!" he ordered. Buffy scrambled up and over Willow to look in the crib. "Spike! She's gone." She gasped as tears welled up.
Spike looked back to Tara. She was going to faint. Spike shook her again. "Tara. Please where is the bugger taking them?" Tara took a deep breath. "I don't know. He just froze me and then knocked me back." She broke into tears. "HE hurt her. He cut her cheek. She was crying. I couldn't do anything. I just couldn't." spike turned quickly as someone said softly.
"I know where he's taking them. He's going to the Mansion. He's going to sacrifice them so he can open a portal and all his drinking buddies can get into this world." Anya held her head and rubbed her eyes. "He's going to kill Dawn first. Then he's going to kill Joyce. He's going to let them bleed to death." Spike looked to Buffy who had her hands over her mouth in horror.
She looked to Spike and he picked up a large ax from under the table. "Let's go." He whispered fiercely. Buffy looked at the vampire again. If he had used that tone when she first saw him then she would've been terrified. Buffy picked up a large sword and ran her finger along the blade. "Still sharp." She whispered with a fearless tone. Spike shivered.
He was actually a little turned on by that tone. Spike shook his head to knock those thoughts away and he pointed towards the door. Buffy nodded and she stepped up the steps to stand beside him. They both looked at each other for a moment sizing each other up and then ran out the door.
"WAIT!" Anya shouted a little to late. She looked out the door hoping to see them but they were already gone. Anya leaned against the wall. She prayed that spike knew that cutting the arm with the tattoo off could only kill the demon and that it would only work if a vampire did it.
