A/N: OK so I am going to throw the First Evil into this. It might be a
little confusing as to what is going on but later on in the story things
will start to make sense. **** Remember Spike is alive. He has been since
he was brought back***
Spike awoke to the sound of Buffy whimpering. He glanced over at the clock and saw that it read 2:30 in the morning. He started to gently shake her to wake her from her nightmare.
"Buffy. Buffy luv, wake up. It was only a dream."
"Oh god no!!!" Buffy yelled as she sat up in the bed."
"What's wrong?" He quickly sat up and put his arms around her waist to comfort her. She softly sank into his embrace.
"I had a horrible nightmare. I am so scared. This might have been a slayer dream. I can't let this happen." She was frantic. She started shaking in his arms.
"Shh, it's ok. Tell me what happened."
"We were fighting. All of us. I couldn't quite make out where we were. I was chained against a wall, and even using all of my slayer strength I could break loose. Willow, Giles and everyone else were knocked out or dead, scattered everywhere. You were still fighting against this creature. It kept changing forms and you could hit it. Then all of a sudden everything went black. All I could hear were your screams. When the darkness cleared I saw you. You were all bloody and I could see you weren't breathing. For some reason I was out of my chains, so I ran over to you. I was too late. You were already gone! You left me again!"
"I am not going to leave you. I am never going to leave you again. Whatever that dream was. A nightmare, a prophetic dream, it doesn't matter, we'll beat it. This new evil doesn't stand a chance against us."
"It seemed so real though."
"What we have is real. You and me, the Scoobies. Has there ever been an evil you haven't won?" he turned her head towards him and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"No."
"This one won't be any different. I love you so much; I won't ever let anything hurt you."
"Have I told you how much I love you?
"Only about a million time since I got here, but I never get tired of hearing it."
"I Love you I Love you I Love you I Love you!" She pulled him down next to her and kissed him. "It's time to 'catch up.'" She giggled and moved her hands down to unbutton his pants.
"Buffy, what are you doing?"
"I have dreamt of making love to you for a long while now. Please make that dream come true!"
"Are you sure?"
"Never been more sure of anything in my life. I don't want to wait any longer."
"Neither do I luv. I've dreamt of this too." She finished taking off his pants, so he was completely naked. He took off her clothes and they made love throughout the night.
~~~~~~~~~10:30 that same morning~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mmmmm." Buffy started to wake up. She shifted in Spike's arms. She looked over at his sleeping form. 'He was so beautiful' she thought. She slowly got up and got dressed, making sure not to wake him up. Walking down the stairs she ran into Dawn who was running up them.
"Whoa, what's the rush? Is there a fire or something?" Buffy said jokingly. "There is no fire right?" The humor left her face.
"No there is no fire. I was just going to come and wake you and Spike up."
"What? Spike's not up there. He's..he's."
"Don't worry Buffy I know about these things. I think it's romantic. Do you want to go out for breakfast? You know for a celebration type thing. "
"Yeah that sounds nice."
"Ok, I'll go get Spike." Dawn started going back up the stairs with a smile on her face. She knew Buffy wouldn't let her go get him, but she wanted to freak out her sister.
"No!! Dawn I'll get him. You go ahead and go back downstairs. Tell Willow we will be down in a few minutes."
"Ok. Clam down. I was just joking. I don't wanna see naked Spike parts anyways. That would be like seeing my brother naked."
"Ew!" They both said at the same time. They both went their separate ways. Dawn went back downstairs and Buffy went back into her room to wake Spike up. She sat on the edge of the bed and started to shake him. He wouldn't wake up.
"Spike. Spike! Spike!!" She was calling his name and shaking him. 'What is it going to take to wake him up?' she thought. She leaned over and kissed him. With that his eyes shot open.
"I could get used to waking up like that pet." He sat up and gave her that smirk of his.
"Well I could get used to waking you up like that." He pulled her down and started kissing her again. "Spike"..kissing.."Spike we have"...more kissing.."Spike they are wait".. Even more kissing. After that she finally pulled away. "As much as I would like to relive this mornings events, Dawn and the others want to take you to breakfast celebrating you."
"Well now, let's not keep them waiting. I'm starved." He got up and put his clothes on. Once he was done, he went over to Buffy, took her hand, and walked down the stairs.
"It's nice to finally see you two this morning. Have a 'restful' night?" Willow met them at the door.
"Yes very 'restful.'" Buffy looked over ay willow and gave her a wink. She knew exactly what Willow was thinking.
"Well, Giles is going to be at the airport in about 30 minutes. I told him we would pick him up. So I was thinking we will leave here in a few and go pick him up, then go get breakfast. Is that ok?"
"Yeah that'll be fine. I can't wait to see good ol' Rupe's face when he see's me!"
"Well you aren't coming to pick him up with us. We were hoping you would take Dawn to the restaurant, while Buffy and I go get Giles. The others were planning on meeting you there. I just think it would be easier for him if we brought him to you. I mean he is just getting back, I think it would be too much of a shock for him getting right off the plane."
"Ok. No problem. I'll see you later luv." He pulled Buffy to him and kissed her. "Nibblit lets go. I'm hungry."
"Coming." Dawn and Spike left, so only Buffy and Willow are left.
"So where's Tara?"
"She's with Xander. She went over this morning. Let's get going. On the way to the airport you better give me details on your 'restfulness.' Well not so much details, but..you know what I mean."
"Most defiantly." They two girls walked out of the house and headed towards the airport.
A/N: sorry it took so long. My stupid computer decided to protest against me. All better now though. I am posting the next chapter right after this one to make up for it.
