(Ok sorry it took me awhile to update but you know I am only one person with a few other stories and I do have some school stuff. I hope you enjoy!)
Riley stood outside debating on what to do. He knew neither Dawn or Will was home but he knew Buffy was. She was the reason he had the child with Dawn he was trying to make her jealous but she wasn't she was pissed as hell instead. She would be even more mad if he did what he thought about doing she would also kick his ass. He didn't care he was going to do it she drove him this way it was all over. Riley grabbed the door knob with the gun in his other hand.
******************************************************************************
"Spike could you..." Buffy walked into the living room to find him asleep. She smiled Dawn was right he would always have a place in her heart as a friend. She grabbed a blanket and laid it over him. She heard the back door open who could be home at this time. She walked back into the kitchen to find Riley with a gun pointing it at her.
"Riley what are you doing? Get out of here!" Buffy yelled.
Tears rolled down Riley's cheeks. "I loved you and you didn't love me." Riley's hand was shaking.
"Put the gun down."
"No! Don't tell me what to do!"
"Riley please I have kids."
"So do I." Riley slammed his fist into the wall. "Thanks to you."
"To me I didn't have a child with you."
"No but you drove me to jealousy and I tried to get back at you."
"Buffy what's going...Whoa mate what the bloody hell are you doing here?" Spike walked into the kitchen.
"O, I see cheating on Xander with Spike." Riley smirked.
"No!" Spike and Buffy yelled in unison.
"I love Xander."
"I love Dawn."
"I love Buffy but we all can't have what we want." Riley aimed the gun at Buffy's heart. "Bye Buff I really do love you."
"Buffy watch out!" Spike jumped on Buffy as Riley's gun went off.
They landed on the floor. "Bloody hell!" Spike cried he had been shot in the side.
"I'll be back." The back door slammed.
"Go after the poof." Spike looked at Buffy.
"What's the use? I'll get killed and I can't leave you here to bleed but I've never taken out a bullet and I can't take you to the hospital."
"The bullet isn't in me it skimmed my skin though hurts pretty bad."
Buffy helped him up and took him into the living room. "I'll get the first aid kit and then we're going to have a talk about Dawn."
Buffy ran upstairs and grabbed her medical supplies and went back downstairs to tend to Spike's wound.
"Why do you want to talk about bit?"
"She's my sister and just a few minutes ago you admitted to loving her. Is that true?"
"Yes it is. She's special and I won't hurt not like that jerk did."
"I believe you when you say that but are you ready to also help take care of Will?"
"That boy's a real riot I like him reminds me of bit."
"He is a lot like his mother." Buffy smiled.
"So that means you won't be all judgemently if I start dating bit?"
"No, I won't but I don't know what to say about Xander." Buffy gave a little laugh.
"Speaking of him does he totally hate me?" Spike adjusted himself so it wouldn't hurt his side so bad.
"Not totally but pretty close but Dawn never hated you she was really mad for a while but never hated."
"What about you?"
"Just a little."
"I don't blame you."
"I don't blame me either."
"Well, Slayer I'm kind of tired if you don't mind I would like to get some sleep."
"Sorry and Spike thank you for saving me."
"What was with the poof anyway?"
"Well he was mad at me for getting married to Xander so he tried to make me jealous by having it with Dawn. Now he blames me for everything."
"O, well I won't let him hurt bit or anybody she loves." Spike laid down and Buffy laid the blanket on top of him.
"That makes me feel so much safer."
"I don't have the chip in my head anymore."
"What, when were you going to tell me?"
"I didn't want you worrying. I got a soul and I not going to hurt anyone."
"Ok, just next time tell me that."
"Wake me when bit gets home."
"I will do." Buffy went back into the kitchen to finish cleaning.
******************************************************************************
Dawn smiled as she walked in the door to see Will sitting in the living room watching TV and Spike laying on the couch asleep.
"Mommy!" Will shrieked.
"Hi honey." Dawn smiled and picked him up.
She sat on the a little edge of the couch down by Spike's legs and set Will in her lap. Buffy walked in, she smiled they looked like a little family.
"Dawn, I just came in to wake up Spike he wanted me to when you got home."
"Ok, well I'll do it." Dawn smiled as Buffy walked away.
Dawn looked at the blond vampire laying there. He looked so peaceful to wake. She stroked his hair as she said his name. "Spike?"
Spike stirred and looked up at Dawn when he saw her smiling at him a big smile went across his face but winced in pain as the memory of the bullet to the side.
"What's wrong?" Dawn paniced.
"Riley stopped by to give your sister a little death wish but he ended up shooting me instead."
"Daddy did what?" Will screamed tears started going down his face. "I want to see daddy!"
"Shh...baby you're never seeing your father again. He almost killed your Aunt Buffy and hurt Spike." Hugged Will close
"Let me go! I want to see daddy!" Will pushed away and jumped down ran upstairs to his room.
"I'm so sorry Spike." Dawn looked back at him.
"It's ok I'm just happy that you're ok."
"Me? Why wouldn't I be my ex is trying to kill my sister and my son wants to see him?"
"I know it's ok. Lay down next to me." Spike opened his arms. Dawn settled into them and closed her eyes. "I love you." Was the last thing she heard before she drifted off to sleep.
******************************************************************************
"Mommy it's daddy!" Dawn stirred as she heard Will yell from the front door.
"What!?" Spike, Dawn, Buffy, and Xander yelled.
(Ok ended it there. Dang ex's ruin everything. Well I'm going to update as soon as possible.)
