A/N: Sorry about the chapter formatting! I can't really do anything about that; it happens when Fanfiction.net hasn't completely rewired all the links on a new update. But if you want to read an "unlisted" chapter, all you have to do is go to any chapter of the story and change the address of your browser (=__) to the chapter you want to read.

And the dream sequences, some will just be Buffy & Spike scenes from the past, others will actually hold some relevance.

April 24, 2012—Early Morning

A big man in a dark street. He's biting a girl!

Mommy grabs him and tosses him off. Go, Mommy!

"Slayer," the man growls. His face! He's one of the monsters Mommy fights in my dreams, with glowing yellow eyes and a bumpy forehead.

"Slayee," Mommy quips, then begins fighting him. She kicks him in the face and he tries to hit her but Mommy moves away. She tries to punch him, but he grabs her arm and throws her into a door. Poor Mommy! Where was Daddy? Shouldn't he be helping her?

Mommy gets up and ducks the next punch. The monster-man punches a big dent in the door. Mommy grabs him and holds his arm as Aunt Willow and Uncle Xander rush in.

"Get her out of here!" Mommy yells, gesturing to the poor girl who was attacked by the monster. Aunt Willow takes the girl away. Then Mommy punches the monster in the face, over and over. She's beginning to scare me.

And where was Daddy when Mommy needed him?

"And a stake would be nice," Mommy yells to Uncle Xander. Uncle Xander runs away. Mommy keeps punching the man.

I see a guy in the shadows, behind the Dumpster! Someone's watching. Be careful, Mommy!

The monster Mommy was fighting suddenly breaks loose and punches Mommy in the face. Mommy falls and stares up at him.

"I don't need to wait for St. Vigeous. You're mine," the monster growls. Daddy, where are you?? Mommy's in trouble!

The monster leans over Mommy, and Daddy still doesn't appear to help Mommy. I'm getting worried; Daddy usually helps Mommy when she fights in my dreams.

Suddenly Mommy kicks the monster in the face. He moves backwards and Mommy jumps up again, ready to fight.

"Spike! Gimme a hand!" the monster yells. Spike? That's a puppy's name. Was the monster calling over his puppy?

Mommy glances towards the shadows, where I saw someone before. Then Uncle Xander runs up, panting.

"Buffy!" He tosses her a long, pointy wood stick, sort of like the ones in Aunt Dawnie's room. Mommy catches it and stabs the monster. He disintegrates and blows away into nothing.

Clapping. Someone's clapping. Uncle Xander? No, not him. Not Aunt Willow either.

A man with white-blond hair in a long black trench coat steps out from the shadows.

Daddy!

Mommy stares at him, looking confused. Uncle Xander and Aunt Willow also stare at him.

"Nice work, luv." Yep, definitely Daddy. It was his voice, and only Daddy ever called people "luv." But that doesn't explain why he wasn't helping Mommy earlier when she was fighting.

"Who are you?" Huh? This is Daddy! How can Mommy not recognize Daddy?

"You'll find out on Saturday," Daddy answered, a hint of a smile on his face.

"What happens on Saturday?" Your anniversary, of course, silly Mommy.

"I kill you."

I woke up from the scariest dream ever. There was Daddy, but he wasn't helping Mommy fight monsters, he said he's gonna kill her! On their anniversary, too.

Mommy said to try not to pay to much attention to these dreams, that they've already happened and everything's okay now. But I'm scared and a little confused. Why did Daddy say he was going to kill Mommy? Didn't Mommy and Daddy love each other?

I woke up Aunt Dawnie. She's sleepy and told me whatever I dreamed was just a dream, and to go back to sleep.

I'm sleeping in Aunt Dawnie's room 'cause Aunt Cordy and Aunt Faith are sleeping in my room. I like Aunt Faith and Aunt Cordy, and I still don't understand why Mommy stabbed Aunt Faith.

Or why I once heard Mommy tell Aunt Dawnie that she was getting out of the house over Mommy's dead body if Aunt Dawnie thought she was going to the Bronze dressed like Aunt Faith.

Why would Aunt Dawnie want to walk over Mommy? And Mommy wasn't dead. Silly Mommy.

Plus, Aunt Dawnie looked very pretty in that dress. I think that was why Daddy also wouldn't let her wear it either when she begged him when Mommy was out.

Daddy!

"Spike! Gimme a hand!" That's what the monster had said. Spike.

Oh! It wasn't the name of a puppy. "Spike" was what Aunt Dawnie and Mommy sometimes called Daddy. What Uncle Angel called Daddy.

Daddy was Spike.

I don't understand what's going on, or why I keep getting strange dreams. But I'm scared. I want Daddy; I love Daddy.

But I don't know if he loves Mommy and me.
