CHAPTER FIVE
The situation was going to get way out of hand and fast Joy could feel it. Something in her father was about to snap and by the look on Buffy's face her temper wasn't going to hold out that long either. They had all been stood there for about five minutes and no one had said anything.
Dawn wanted to speak up, to let Spike know that he was welcome here, she knew what he had tried to do to Buffy all those years ago but she had forgiven him. She didn't know if Buffy had because she had never spoken about it.
Spike looked at Will, it was so obvious that he was Buffy's son why he had never seen it before he didn't know. Everything about the young man screamed Buffy.
"She's your daughter!" Buffy shouted a tinge of disgust dripping from her words.
Spike heard it and the anger boiled over inside him, "Yes and what problem have YOU got with that?"
Will and Joy were looking at each other, totally lost in the conversation. Each had an idea of what was going on but not enough to understand what was happening between their parents.
"Both of you should just calm down." Dawn said as her sister and the best friend she ever had stared at each other. There was so much hate in their eyes but anyone could see the other thing that was there, the repressed lust.
"Well I might of known the girl that wants to screw up my son's life would belong to you!" Buffy shouted ignoring her sister's instruction.
"Don't put this on Joy, it's your son that asked her." Spike said.
Will couldn't believe his mother had stood there and said that with Joy standing in the room, why couldn't she understand that they were in love and grown up enough to make there own decisions.
"Mother!" Will shouted.
"What do you want Will?" Buffy asked her words softer towards him.
"I want you to stop shouting and understand that Joy is not screwing up my life and if you can't see that then we will leave and you will not be coming to my wedding." Will spat.
"Oh I see that Joy's influence has started to show already."
Will picked up his coat and grabbed Joy' hand.
"And tell me Slayer what is that supposed to mean?" Spike interjected.
Dawn noticed that Will was leaving and she wanted to bring that to the attention of Buffy and Spike, but she wanted to let the two of them play this one out.
~*~
"What the hell is happening is there?" Will asked Joy when they had got in the car.
Joy stayed silent, she knew in clicked into place, "Your mom's the Slayer."
Will looked at Joy, he didn't know what to say to her should he tell her the truth. How did she know about the Slayer anyway?
"Joy what, how, I mean the Slayer?"
"That's what my dad called her."
"Yeah but how do you know about the Slayer?"
"Well one of my dad's novels is about the Vampire Slayer, I told him more than once it sounded more like diary than a work of fiction. So your mom's the one then." Joy said, the last part mostly to herself.
~*~
"Oh you know what it means, any kid of yours must be a bad influence." Buffy shouted at Spike things were really getting out of hand.
"My Joy is a nice girl and if you say one more word about her I'll"
"You'll what Spike?" Buffy screamed.
Dawn had moved to the doorway now, she knew that she shouldn't be listening to this but she couldn't leave.
"Oh so I'm not even back a day and you're throwing that back in my face!"
"It's not something you just get over Spike. What you did to me and then now you come back."
Buffy was stood only inches away from Spike now, venom clear in her voice. Dawn knew that if she didn't intervene then things were going to get really nasty.
"Has no one else noticed that Spike's alive?" Dawn asked hoping that this would defuse the situation.
Buffy stepped back from Spike, she was too close. Dawn was right for some reason the vampire that had ran out of her life all that time ago was gone and now all that was left was a living breathing version.
Spike turned to Dawn, "Hello bit."
"Oh don't you try that one!" Buffy said.
"What the hell are you talking about woman?" Spike asked. "Trying to get Dawn on side, you've always done that."
Spike huffed at her, she was just dying to fight with him. He'd come here to make sure she was ok, that she was still alive and she was doing this. He'd gone to all that trouble for her to be human for her and she didn't even care how or why.
"Make yourself at home why don't you Spike." Buffy said.
"Thanks pet I will."
~*~
"What do you mean the one?" Will asked joy as they drove back to the hotel.
"My dad fell in love once, it ended badly but I always knew that whoever she was he still loved her always would." Joy said crying.
"Honey why are you crying?"
"Because it wasn't my mom, yeah he cared about her but not like he loved your mom."
"How do you know it's my mom?" Will asked.
"Come off it did you not see the way they looked at each other?" Joy asked wanting reassurance that it wasn't just her that saw it.
"Yeah I did."
~*~
"Spike are you going to explain what's going on with you, with the whole breathing thing." Dawn asked.
"Well it's a long story Nibblet, but to cut it short I went to a demon and he worked some mojo on me now I'm human and Joy is my daughter." Spike explained.
"I like Joy." Dawn said, not knowing what else to say to the man that sat in front of her.
Buffy was just glaring at him, she wanted him out of her house and she defiantly wanted Joy out of Will's life. The wedding could not happen now, in fact the relationship had to end all together.
"I did." Buffy added.
"You did?" Dawn questioned.
"Yeah but now I know who she is I'm not having her in my family." Buffy stated clearly her eyes still fixed on Spike.
"What because it doesn't suit you? It's not her fault I'm her father and funnily enough I don't think Will is just going to agree to that."
"Oh boo-hoo my heart bleeds for your daughter. Not."
"Why will you not just shut up Slayer!" Spike roared in a way that he hadn't done since he was a vampire.
Buffy rolled her eyes at him, he may be human but he hadn't changed a bit. He was still Spike annoying as hell. Spike could see the emotions she was feeling, he got angry with himself for even going there. He grabbed his coat and strode out of the house.
"Well that went well." Dawn commented.
~*~
"Joy if your dad is who I think he is then there's something I think you should know." Will said pulling into the parking lot of the motel.
He didn't really think that he should be telling her this but what could he do. They had been put into this situation and he would just have to deal with it in the best way he could.
"What?" Joy asked worried about what was going to come next.
"I think your dad was a vampire." He waited to Joy to start shouting at him, accusing him of all sorts but she never. She just laughed.
"Yeah my dad a scary big bad vampire!"
TBC.
