Title: Bye bye baby
Author: Lady fire heart
Disclaimer: This belongs to the almighty god Joss. I wish I had created it. But I didn't. Another one of those things I was too stupid to create. I am just one of the shows adoring floozies.
Thanks to:
RoseAnn for the beginning.
and all my e friends for reading.
And all my in town friends for making me laugh.
Also a big thanks to Mrs. Jane Grady. You introduced me to books and writing. I think you will always be the best teacher I had.
Lyrics: In the End by Linkin Park. This is only part of the song and it matches B/S extremely well.
I am going short on the thanks now. My beta reader complained a lot about it saying it was longer than some of my chapters.
BTW thank you Michelle Gates (my beta reader person lol) for reading and complaining so I can strive to be better.
IF YOU WANT TO BE ON THE MAILING LIST WHICH ALERTS YOU WHEN I ADD A CHAPTER PLEASE WRITE ME AT Madison@fastchart.com.

Tara laid back in the chair as Willow sighed sadly. "It's been two days. Tara, I think she's not coming back." Tara shook her head and patted Willow's hand. "No. Baby, She'll come back. She lost a lot of blood for a child and it might take a while to heal."
Willow looked at the bright sun pouring across the floor. Joyce lay asleep on the pillows pale as ever. Her breaths were short and non frequent. Willow held her face and began to softly cry. "I don't know what to do if she dies. Spike would kill me and Buffy would never forgive us." Tara pulled Willow into her embrace. "Will, We wont let that happen. I promise to not let that happen." Willow nodded and pulled away from Tara. "I just wish there was something we could do besides sit here and watch."

Buffy pulled onto the next road and turned up the music. Buffy sang softly in tune and drummed her fingers on the steering wheel.
It starts with love One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain it through time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It's so unreal You didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on, but didn't even know I wasted it all Just to watch you go I kept everything inside And even though I tried It all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a Memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall, to lose it all But in the end it doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so [far] Things aren't the way they were before You wouldn't even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me in the end I kept everything inside And even though I tried It all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a Memory of a time-----
Spike groaned from the back and tapped lightly on the window. "Turn down the music!" Buffy rolled her eyes and clicked the radio off. "Fine!" she shouted, "You're starting to sound like an old man" "I have heard the same song for two days. I am about to go postal back here." He snarled. Buffy looked back at him skeptically. "You've done it before. I've seen it and dealt with it over and over so I KNOW that I can make do now."
Spike growled and lay down on the floor. He was ready to be in LA where he wouldn't have to argue with Buffy over music and where he could wander around evilly without anyone batting an eyelash.

Joyce dropped to her knees and looked around the pitch black. She had been lost in dark for two days and she just wanted to get away and go home.
Slowly she stood and ran across the depths. Coldness swirled around her chilling her to the bone but she kept running. A crash echoed around her and she found herself on the edge of a tall cliff. She looked out and saw crystal clear water filling the land around her.
Joyce shivered and turned to leave the cliff but stopped as she saw a women stalking out of the forest. The women was dark skinned and had white paint traces all over her. Rags covered her chest and thighs to keep views hidden and her hair was wound tightly into dreadlocks.
A whimper escaped Joyce's mouth as she heard the women growl with an animal tone. "You are the chosen." Joyce looked off the cliff hoping to find any means of escape but to her dismay none were found. "What do you mean I'm chosen?" she asked angrily.
The strange women growled again and stalked closer to Joyce. "You are the child of a vampire and a slayer. You will fight. You will take their place." She hissed. Joyce shook her head. "No you only take someone's place when the previous person died. MY parents are alive."
The strange slayer sunk down giving the impression of a cat ready to pounce. "They are for now yes. But for how much longer, I wonder." Joyce knew something was seriously wrong with this woman and quickly swan dived of the cliff. The slayer let out a roar of aggravation and growled low as she saw Joyce dive under the water and swim into the distance.
A white light ripped through the world as Joyce came close to the land. Dark hands reached from the tear and pulled Joyce under the water. She screamed as she was pulled into the rip, water flooded over her, and light blinded her.

Willow almost fell out of her seat as Joyce sat up with a scream. The Wicca's ran to her side. "Mum?" Joyce whimpered. Willow shook her head. "No. Their gone for a few days. But they'll be back." Joyce looked around confused "Dad's gone too?" Tara nodded. Joyce held her face and looked back to Willow. "Are you really witches??" Tara smiled and nodded. "Yeah but we prefer the term Wicca."
Joyce put her hand against her neck searching for the bite but found none. "Wait. Where's the bite?" she asked. Tara pulled Joyce's hair back and looked in shock to willow as they saw that her skin was unbroken and flawless as ever. Willow shook her head. "No way could a bite heal that fast." "Unless." Tara continued. "She has this trait from her parents."
Joyce looked at her aunts. "Can you tell me about them? What's a slayer? Why is my dad a vampire? Is he a good vampire? How long did they know each other? How did they have me? How did they meet?" Willow covered Joyce's mouth and laughed. "I think they need to answer those questions."

Buffy yawned and pulled into the darkening alley. The sun would be completely set soon and then they would look for Drusilla. Buffy opened the small window between the drivers seat and looked into the back. Spike was asleep on the floor and looked quite comfortable. "Spike?" she called. He grumbled and sat up. "What? I only bloody got to sleep 4 hours ago." Buffy smirked. "Well it's not my fault."
Spike rubbed his eyes and stretched. "Yes it is your fault. You and that bloody awful music." Buffy glared.
"For your information I like Paula Abdul." She hissed. Spike nodded. "And I do too. She's a nice gal." Buffy stared at him trying to see if he was joking. "Ha ha I know that's a lie. You never met her once in you undead life."
Spike smirked with his trademark smile "Yes. I did. Believe me." Buffy nodded slowly and looked out the window again. She couldn't help but notice how she had trusted him when he only asked. She felt no regret in saying she believed him. She felt as though he would never hurt her. Was this a danger? Buffy shook her head to reassure herself and smiled weakly.
"Okay Spike. Sun's down. Let's go." Spike opened the back doors and climbed out. Buffy pushed the keys into her pocket, slammed the door, and looked around the alley. Dark was all around and She decided now would be a good time to stay close to spike. They stalked down the alley all the while looking for any sign of Drusilla.
The slayer stopped as she heard a snap from in front of them. Spike growled and pounced forwards. A squeal came from the blackness and he was thrown back. Buffy gaped as she saw a blonde haired girl pin Spike back against the alley wall and raise a stake.
Quickly she ran forward and kicked the stake away. The girl turned angrily and raised her hand to slap Buffy but she stopped in mid movement.
A mis-matched group lurched forward out of the shadows and Buffy gasped as she saw the head leader. "Angel?" She whispered. Angel pulled the girl away from Buffy. "Cordi calm down." Buffy stared at Cordeila in shock. Cordi pulled away and glared. "Spike tried to attack me!!" she fussed.
A tall brunette in the back of the group shook her head. "He didn't know it was you. Come on Cordi. You've attacked angel by accident before. Spike wouldn't hurt you."
Cordi snorted in disbelieve. "Give me one reason why he wouldn't attack me or buffy right now?" she hissed. The tall brunette smiled. "Your Buffy's friend and Buffy is his wife." Cordi dropped her hand from her mouth and stared at Buffy. "You two. married??" Buffy blushed and nodded.
The tall brunette threw Spike the bag of stakes he had dropped and helped him stand up again. Spike stared intently at her and smiled. "I can't believe it. Nibblet is that really you??" Dawn smiled. "Yeah you caught me."
