CHAPTER. 10 (2 weeks later)

"Giles, I must say that this meal is just fantastic," Joyce said as the Summers & Giles family both sat at the dinner table, "why thankyou Joyce, and I must say that this was a lovely idea, we haven't had a dinner together in quite a while" Giles replied, "yeah mum, great idea" Buffy said faking a smile and kicking Spikes foot away for the tenth time, "ow", "Spike, is something wrong?" Giles asked Spike as he looked at his father, "I bit my tongue," he said as Dawn giggled knowing exactly what was going on.

"Well" Buffy said "I am very full, thanks again for dinner Giles, I'm just going to go to the powder room and wash up" she then stood up, "me too, can't taste another bite" Spike replied grabbing his and Buffy's plate and taking them to the kitchen as Buffy walked toward the powder room and closed the door.

"Dawn, do you have any idea of what is going on between the two of them?" Joyce asked her youngest daughter, "no" she replied 'just the fact that Buffy has two guys fighting for her, and one is Spike, who seems to come over our house everyday after school for some bedroom activity' "nothing at all".

"Knock Knock" Spike said opening the door to the powder room to find Buffy washing her hands, "what the hell do you think you are doing in there" Buffy asked him, "trying to make a pass" he replied "so...spoken to him", "yes, after school", "and", "what?" "What'd he say", "it is not your business, it's not like I tell him about you coming over everyday", "and can I tell him?" "No" she said.

"Joyce did Buffy tell you, me and Spike are heading down to England for graduation", "well that's great, Buffy didn't say anything" Joyce responded, "you and Spike are moving?" Dawn asked.

"So, don't I get a kiss.just one little bitty kiss" Spike asked moving closer toward her as she reached over to kiss him as the door opened, "Dawn are you crazy", "no I think you both are for almost kissing, I could've been mum or Giles " she replied as both teens moved away from each other, "are you okay?" Spike asked her, "I hate you" was all she said to Spike "okay lil bit stop confusing me with the great poof" Spike said "what's wrong?" "You are leaving" was all she said.

"I wonder where they all are?" Giles said looking around the now half empty dining room, "Giles, I think we should tell them, the real reason why you are moving to London" Joyce replied "this is the reason why we are having a dinner, aren't I right?" "Sure you are, we'll put them together in the lounge, and I will explain" he said as the 2 teens and young 12 year old walked in the dining room.

"What's wrong?" Buffy asked.

"Okay, first of all there is a main reason as to why William and I are moving to London, that even William doesn't even know about" Giles started to explain, "okay, for the past 2 months Giles and I have been together" Joyce said, "what" the three of them said, "& in 3 months we plan to get married and move to London together" Joyce finished as Buffy and Spike looked at each other as Buffy nodded as Spike smiled and stood up, "well me and Buffy have some news" he started as Buffy stood, "what?" Joyce asked, "Spike and I for the past month nearly, month?", "yeah" he said, "have been seeing each other" she finished.

"Oh no" Dawn said.

"I absolutely can not believe this" Giles said pacing back and fourth, "what is there not to believe, you knew that I had feelings for the girl, the least you could of done was told us 2 months ago" Spike yelled back, "Spike, calm down" Buffy said, "I will not calm down, look, I love Buffy, and I want to be with her, something I am trying to bloody do right now, without that poof getting in the way", "if me and Joyce are going to get married then you two can not be together" Giles said, "how about this, me and Buffy continue to see each other, and do the what the bloody hell we want" Spike replied.

"Buffy, me and Giles are in love, we want to spend the rest of our lives together", "Spike, are you two in love, are you two planning on spending the rest of your lives together?" Giles asked his son, as Spike looked away, "yes" Buffy said as Spike looked at her as she grabbed a hold of his hand and squeezed it gently, "yes we are" Spike said turning away from Buffy. "Look, we can still be together, we might be step- brother / sister, but we are not blood related, and it is still considered normal" Buffy explained to both parents.

"Rupert, I think that they have proved a point, let them be together, at least they are letting us be together, and they have nothing against us being married" Joyce said, "oh yeah, that also reminds me.are we actually moving to London?" Buffy said "I mean for good" "yes" Joyce said, "okay, but I planned on going to College here, I have put in all my applications" Buffy explained, "I wouldn't mind us two getting away from this place" Spike added, "meaning?" Buffy asked, "no Angel" he said, "oh please, you just got me, don't piss me off," she said warning him as he nodded "Buffy has a point, plus all our friends are here" he added.

"Well, we will think about you two staying for college, but Dawn you have no choice", "that's cool, does that mean I only get one present from the both of you, and not two" she asked them, "we better get going, it's getting late" Joyce said, "me and Spike are going to the Bronze, we'll see you later" Buffy said grabbing her bag and dragging Spike out the door. "Luv, my jacket", "and leave it, what you're wearing is perfectly fine" she said as he took his car keys out of his pocket and unlocked her door as she got in. "Oh, and Spike", "yes" he said facing her as he got in the car and closed the door, "there is something that I need to say.so to make us official", "what's that?" he asked her, "okay, about you and Angel, fighting over me, yes, very childish, but you won my heart in the end.I love you Spike, and I hope you can forgive me for treating you like dirt for the past couple of weeks" she said very fast, "Buffy, firstly calm down, okay I am sorry for having to make you decide, and secondly.I love you too" he added as she reached over and kissed him.

"Oh my god, this is too good to be true", "what? We have kissed before", "not that.it's different, I mean, you're my girlfriend, and it feels different" he said "I know that.that you trust me", "I always did" she said and kissed him again, "well this calls for a little bit of celebration down at the Bronze, what do you say we show off on that dance floor tonight", "that sounds good to me.Spike?" "Yeah" he said as he drove out of the drive way and sped down the road, "honestly, my mum and your dad, what was your reaction?" "Losing you" he said "& also, oh dear god, you have got to be kidding me, but it's not that bad, I mean your mum has been like a mum to me", "same, it's just the dad thing that's all".

They sat in silence for the next few minutes, Spike looked over at her and then back on the road, "can I be the one to tell the great poof," he asked her, "no", "I'm actually being serious.I'm not going to do it, and rub it in his face, I'm just going to say.it's too bad mate that I got captain, but just to let you know that in the long run.I end up getting the girl", "nope, go ahead, you are defiantly not rubbing it in his face" she said, "serious", "Spike I am going to tell him, not you" she said.
