AUTHOR'S NOTES: Right people this is it, the very end of 'Will & Joy'.
Thank you everyone who has read & reviewed, it means a lot to me. I can
tell from the reviews that have all enjoyed reading it as much as I have
writing it.
EPILOGUE
Spike was lying in bed with the curtains pulled back and the sun shining on to his chest and stomach, Buffy was cuddled up next to him falling in and out of sleep. Spike loved the Sunday mornings they shared in bed together, nowhere to go no reason to get out of bed.
Buffy wriggled even closer to his side and let out a long sigh.
"You awake now pet." Spike said kissing her hair. The hair that had once been a honey blonde was now turning into a light shade of grey but Spike thought she looked just as beautiful as the day he married her.
Buffy nodded her head and planted little soft kisses on his neck and shoulder, so soft that they were barley there.
"I love you honey." Buffy said pulling her head up to meet his face so that she could give him a proper kiss.
They had been married twelve years that month and things were just as romantic as ever. Sometimes Buffy would be a bit bitter that they were getting old and that the twins were still so young, all the time they could have had together that was wasted but as Spike reminded her things were perfect.
Spike would laugh when Buffy would say that they were old and if they were home alone head pull her down to the floor and make love to her just to prove that age meant nothing to them. He said that with Daya and Nathan to look after they had no choice but to stay young.
Buffy couldn't argue with him, those two would keep any one on their toes. They were great kids but they had the mixed personalities of their parents, all that stubbornness and passion could be a lot to cope with sometimes.
"I loves you too." Spike cooed into her ear.
Buffy looked into Spike's eyes, over the years many things had changed about him physically but those eyes always stayed the same, sexy blue eyes that could melt her in a second.
"I'm thinking we need to get up." Buffy told him as she threw back the sheets off the bed.
Buffy heard a deep growl come from Spike and she knew the look he would have on her face, then suddenly she felt his arms wrap around her and pull her flat on her back to bed.
"I don't wanna." Spike said like a child complete with a massive pout.
Buffy giggled, he might like to still pretend that he had it in him to be the big bad but all she had to do would be to threaten him with waking him up early every morning and she would have won.
"Oh on the sexy big bad's gonna get me!" She squealed as Spike placed big kisses all down her neck and over her chest. Soon though they were interrupted by the sound of arguing.
~*~
Nathan had Daya lifted over his shoulder and was carrying her up the stairs toward his parent's bedroom, Matthew followed closely behind trying to restrain Daya as she thrashed about.
"Quit it mom and dad are gonna pissed enough as it is." Nathan said his voice stern, Buffy always commented on how he sounded like his father but without the accent. The truth was Buffy could hear the accent but she knew that if Nathan knew that he would only want to emphasis the slang English used by Spike and not the soft well-mannered Giles style English that Spike used from time to time.
"Your such a dick." Daya said as Nathan reached the door.
~*~
Buffy and Spike couldn't hear what words were being spoken by their children but the knew that Nathan was bringing Daya to them for a parental intervention, so quickly they pulled the covers up around them to cover their naked bodies.
"I thought Daya was staying the night at Ruby's why is she back so early." Spike spoke softly to Buffy.
"God knows and Nath was staying over with Matthew." Buffy added.
Just as the words were spoken Nathan flung open the bedroom door without knocking and dumped his sister on the floor, Matthew came to stand on the other side of her.
One look at her and Spike was already getting pretty angry, Daya was on the floor wearing a blue denim mini skirt and a white short halter-top. Buffy thought she looked nice.
"Daya went on a date last night!" Nathan announced as if she had committed the biggest crime in the world.
"You did what?" Spike roared from his place in the bed wishing that he had some clothes on so that he could pace and rant at the same time.
"Daddy listen, Nathan's just." Daya began only to be cut off by her brother.
"And dad it was with Mark Connelly the 19 year old who cheated on her last year." Nathan went on to explain.
Buffy put her hands to her face, she had never told Spike exactly how old Mark was because she knew what his reaction would be. Now sitting next to him she could practically feel the anger coming off him.
"Daya. Tell me this is not true!" Spike said keeping calmer than Buffy would have expected.
"Well sorry dad but it is!" Daya said standing up and placing her hands firmly on her hips. Although Buffy wasn't one hundred percent happy with her daughter's outfit she was proud that she was standing up for herself.
"How many times! If you want to go on a date I want to meet the boy first, I want to know where you're going and check your outfit first." Spike said reeling off the rules of dating that he had modified for his younger daughter.
"Well I don't want to do that, so you are gonna have to deal!" Daya said glaring at her brother for telling her dad.
"Go to your room I'll talk to you when I've calmed down." Spike ordered and Daya instantly obeyed, leaving Matthew and Nathan in the room.
"Ok boys you can go now." Buffy said not wanting them to see the shouting Spike was going to do about what 19 year old boys would want from Daya.
"Thanks you two, it's good to know that someone looks out for her, god knows she can't seem to do it herself!" Spike sighed, kids he loved them to death but they were hard work. Nathan and Matthew left the room grinning that Daya would never be allowed to see that Mark who had treated her so badly again.
~*~
"Don't say it." Spike said as the door closed.
"What?" Buffy said pretending that she didn't know what on earth he was talking about.
"You know that Daya should be allowed to go on dates, blah, blah, blah, well I don't care she's my baby girl and I'm not gonna let some horny kid mess her about." Spike said now turning to look at Buffy.
"Well you know honey I went out with Angel when I was sixteen and he was over two hundred years older than me." Buffy said stroking his hair to calm him down.
"And look what the prancin' poof went an' did, now if that's not an advert for not 'aving sex then I dunno what is!" Spike said the anger making his accent rougher.
They laughed together, they faced these problems all the time, Spike would get wound up and Buffy would stay clam, then they would laugh about it and work it out.
"I love you." Buffy said as she fell back into his arms.
THE END.
Please give me some feedback, come on over all what did you think? I'd love to know it might help with my next fic, 'There's Only You'. Thanks
