Sorry, I took so long updating I've been in hospital with low Hemoglobin and had to have a blood transfusion (still haven't found my blood type though). Thank you for all the nice reviews!
This is dedicated to one of my good friends in hospital, Amanda. I hope you feel better now.
Please R & R, Thank you to everyone who has already.

As soon as Willow arrived, Joyce rushed out the door and started looking for her mom. She started in Sun park cemetery and was making her way to finishing in Wakefield.
Joyce stuffed her hands further in her pockets and wished she'd brought Liam along with her, even if he was a pain in the a**e it was better then nothing.
As she left the first cemetery, she felt someone following her. She automatically reached for her stake as she whipped around, to face her stalker.
Her eyes widened as she realized who it was, "Spike?" she asked.
*************
"So where did you find Faith's body", Angel asked unwillingly. He'd had a hard enough time coming to terms with his friend's death, let alone having to refer to her as a body.
"Well down in Drusilla's lair of course", Gunn replied, his arm wrapped protectively around his wife's shoulders, as if mentioning Drusilla's name would summon her here.
"Well, where's the lair then?" Angel asked, annoyed at the thought of his old gang going down to Dru's lair, alone.
At just that moment, Wesley came out of his office with a large map and a cup of coffee. He handed the map to Angel and sat down on one of the plush sofas in the large foyer. "Go down the sewers on the left side of Rose Park, take a left turn, a right turn and then another left. After about 300 yards, you should come to a large room, I doubt you'll find Drusilla there though." Wesley said in his usual matter of fact tone.
Angel looked puzzled and Cordy stepped in, "What Gunn was trying to say, before you rudely interrupted, was that when we got down there, it looked like Dru had cleared out. All her dolls were gone and so was most of her clothes and shoes." Cordy smiled at Angel, even though their romantic relationship hadn't worked out they were still best friends. "Congrats, by the way on the new baby, Xander let it slip, when he called to see how Doyle and Bethany were doing."
The next few minutes were full of congratulations and good for you's, but soon Angel was back to business (this time with al large smile on his face though, after being reminded he was having another baby). "Look I just wanna check it out, for all we know, Dru could have been hiding or bluffing, I know all her tricks. But whatever it is we have a death to avenge for, and I don't fancy sitting down doing no avenging."
At the mention of Faith's death, everyone nodded their heads. Fred volunteered to stay behind with the kids, and everyone else gathered their weapons and rushed out the door.
It was just like old times.

"Spike", Joyce repeated. She'd never particularly liked Spike and after she'd heard the story about his attempted rape on her mom, she'd made it her personal mission to ignore him, "What are you doing following me?" She asked, wanting to get away from the intense stare he was giving her.
"A pretty, young girl shouldn't be walking the streets alone after dark", Spike replied mysteriously.
"Nor should a vampire, with mom on patrol", Joyce muttered under her breath. "I'm not young. Besides I know how to take care of myself", she added flicking her long blonde hair over her shoulder.
"You're so young, luv" He stated running his cold fingers over her smooth cheek.
Joyce jerked away and raised her stake, "look Spike I'm sorry about Faith, but don't stalk me, okay?"
Spike looked puzzled for a moment, before nodding. "I'm not stalking, just helping", Joyce raised her eyebrows, Spike was obviously drunk. "I used to help this way when you were younger, then we'd go and ."
Joyce cut Spike off short; Spike thought she was her mother. "I'm not Buffy, Spike, I'm Joyce, her daughter, you remember me." Joyce felt herself rather upset, that Spike didn't remember her, and she inwardly smacked herself for caring what the vampire thought.
"Joyce, Joyce", Spike sounded like he was testing her name on his tongue. "Oh, yes they named you after your grandmother, I remember now." Spike seemed to be caught up in the past and mumbling things about the elder Joyce, her grandmom, before Joyce heard a rumbling in the bushes behind her.
She placed her hand over Spikes mouth and signaled for him to be quiet, before tossing him a stake and twisting herself silently around.
Suddenly four vampires jumped out in front of them, both of them had taken harder odds, and they both had been told the other was quite good. So neither was scared.
Joyce charged at the one in front of her and delivered a few kicks and punches, before being knocked to the ground. Rolling to the left, she jumped up and delivered a vicious head butt and a swift kick to the vamps chest, sending it headlong into a clump of bushes. Picking up her stake, as she rushed over, she drove it deep into the vampire's chest, before looking around to see how Spike was doing.
He seemed to be doing a number on the red vamps head and there were no other vampires to be seen. But just as Joyce went over to help him, another vampire jumped out of the bushes.
Surprised, Joyce automatically jumped to the side, but it was too late, the vamp soon had her knocked on the ground, fangs starting to break the skin.
As she closed her eyes, knowing that in a few seconds she'd be dead, she wished she'd done so much more with her life, and at least once told her parents she appreciated them.
Suddenly there was no vampire and Spike was standing over her, holding out his hand. The only clue that it all hadn't been a figment of her imagination was the fact she was covered in dust.
She took Spike's hand and he pulled her up, dusting herself off, she looked up to see Spike's face much closer to her than before. He reached up and stroked her silken hair, but this time Joyce didn't move away.
She suddenly saw his face more clearly and realized how sexy his cheekbones were and how inviting his mouth seemed. Leaning in, she felt the first brush of his cool lips touch her warm ones.
