Chapter 9-Fatherly Instincts From A VERY Obvious Source
Connor and Dawn walked back to the hotel with hands intertwined. Before they entered, Dawn noticed Spike's car. She looked at Connor with sadness in her eyes and quickly kissed him on the lips and let his hand go. As they approached the entrance he whispered a soft 'I love you' then proceeded to enter.
When the doors opened, all eyes turned to them. All the people from LA looked at her with a pang of pity for her predicament and sadness for her leaving. She instantly spotted her sister with her vamp, grinning madly at her. She forced her biggest smile and grinned as well. right.
"Dawn!" Buffy shrieked as she ran over to her to give her a BIG hug. She was surprised by the attack aaannd with Buffy's super slayer strength she got really crushed.
"You know if *cough* you *cough* don't let go you'll have a dead Key right *cough* about now" she said struggling to catch oxygen.
Buffy blushed as everyone started laughing at her. "Sorry Dawnie, I just missed you." Then she went to hug her again but gentler this time. Thank God.
"I was only gone for two weeks and plus it was your idea remember?" She asked with raised eyebrows. Whoa, that's ironic it was her fault I'm now in love with her ex's son. ah. life's sweet irony.
"Well. fine it was my idea but still. cant I miss my sister?" she asked.
"Just chill, it's not as if I went backpacking across Western Europe for two years." She said with a smile.
"I know but -" Buffy replied. "I missed you too." Dawn said with a bright smile that was TOTALLY fake.
"Right!" someone from the room coughed it. Only the two vamps and Connor heard. Angel glared at Cordy who tried to look innocent. No matter how nice Cordy became she still felt a little resentment for the Slayer. Spike on the other hand, had a confusion written all over his face. The two girls had started conversing, so they didn't notice anything between the vamps and the Seer.
Something's up. Spike thought. He glared at Angel, even if he got the Slayer this time, he still hated him like hell. Even if he took care of Dawn, he still thought of him as the heartless bastard he was.
As he watched the Niblet, he couldn't help but see how different she was acting. She looked happy but at the same time, sad which made him more confused. Mental Note: Beat the crap out of Peaches until he tells me what the bloody hell is happening.
~*~
As Buffy caught up with the rest of the team, she thought only appropriate to say yes to Angel's offer for them to stay for a day. She was having an awesome time with Cordy, and Cordy had reluctantly admitted to herself that she enjoyed the Slayer's company. So that's how it was, even Spike found himself fascinated with Fred's stories of her time in Pylea.
Although Spike had a time sharing stories with Fred, he couldn't fight the feeling that there was something that the team wasn't telling them. He noticed Fred giving guilty looks at Buffy, which made him question more. He glanced at the little Bit and noticed that she was talking to Peaches' son. He noted how she was so comfortable with him, but paid no heed to it, because he knew they were just friends, he also knew that that's what she needed right now. And yet he still had this nagging feeling at the back of his neck telling him there was still more to everything than meets the eye. Dismissing the notion he conversed with Gunn, who joined him and Fred during his brood session. Mental Note To Self: Never Brood!
They all had a great time, everyone was up until three and it wasn't because they were up researching. for the first time. They were up reminiscing about old times and they were all teasing and laughing. Every one's grudges were fixed. except for the two vamps who were more childish even though they're 4 times the humans' age combined.
Due to their late party, they all woke up around noon, even the two vamps who were preoccupied courtesy of their drunk girlfriends. At some point during the night the two got hold of Angel's stash of alcoholic beverages and therefore helped themselves to a bottle of vodka.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As luck would have it, the two teens were the first to wake up. After Connor cooked Dawn breakfast (got that from dear ol' dad), they went to Angel's office for last time goodbyes, seeing as though they wouldn't have a chance when everyone was up.
I'm not gonna cry. Yesterday was enough. This is what Dawn kept telling herself. She snuck a glance at Connor and gave him a smile. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze and gave her one of his small smiles.
Then as most moments when she was around Connor she broke her control and cried. He wrapped his arms around her, cooing her, telling her it would be all right. She kept on saying 'I hope so' over and over again. There were times when she'd say 'I hate her' referring to her sister. With each time Connor would just reply 'she's only protecting you'.
"What would I do without you?" she whispered looking up. He smiled and replied, "That's what I should be asking you." (A/N- cheesy!) She smiled at that and again buried her head on his chest.
"I love you" she whispered.
"I know. I love you too." He said then lifted her head and held her chin, gazing deeply into her crystalline blue depths, and kissed her. (AN- Hey Sab! Remember! ( )
It was at this moment, that our favorite peroxide vamp chose to enter the room. As his eyes fell on the two teens in the middle of the room, all hell broke loose.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" he yelled angrily.
Both teens had similar expressions on their faces: shock. With this said no rational explanation could be made. With that as a response, it fueled Spike's anger to the point of rage.
With the look in his eye, Dawn remembered something she read about Spike, in the Watcher's journals, with that thought in mind only one thing was surely gonna happen - they were both gonna die a REALLY painful death.
Can feel vibration of windows due to his yells.
I didn't even know Spike knew those words. Poor Connor. Whoa! Is that French? Spike curses in French! Who knew? Okay, that's like the umpteenth time he addressed Connor that! Poor Connor. Dawn thought, laughing to herself. He's not even my father. Unbelievable!
Okay, Why the hell is he cursing me as if I'm a demon out to kill Dawn? The only demon here is him! Argh! Note to self: Control Anger!!!! Argh!
Just then Angel came in with an irritated expression on his face. Spike noticing the other vamp instantly threw his anger at him.
"YOUR BLOODY SON IS WITH NIBLET!!!!!!!!! DID YOU KNOW?" he addressed the older vamp.
"Yeah. Calm down Spike!" he replied sounding aggravated.
"Calm down! CALM DOWN! He's gonna bloody hurt her. He's your son of course he'll hurt her just like you did Buffy!!!!" With that said, a growl erupted from Angel.
The two sensing a fight arise, quickly stepped away from the room.
The two vamps, didn't even notice the teens departure due to the fact that they were really close to ripping each other out.
After a while Angel convinced Spike that Connor only had good intentions for Dawn, something which made Spike snort in reply. But after a long talk it was agreed upon that if Connor makes Dawn unhappy the father and son will both be held responsible. Angel also got Spike to promise not to say anything to Buffy until Dawn was ready, how he did this he'll never know. After the negotiations the two went to Angel's secret stash of alcohol and helped themselves to a bottle of Scotch.
