Disclaimer: You all know that I really am Joss..really...wait don't throw
that tomato! Ok.maybe I'm not Joss...'cause if I was things would be a hell
of a lot different...and I don't own the Hallmark Card company either..just
in case you didn't know that...
A/N: I reiterate..no, these are not spoilers, though I kind of wish they were..Thanks for your support on this story, it means a lot to know that so many others wish for what I want...maybe if we believe it will happen..it will happen...Damn, I really wanna read a spoiler, but I won't. I won't go back to my ways..I'll just be surprised, even if that means I'll be pissed off in the process...
Now...On to the second part..
Go, read, be happy...think Spuffy thoughts....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
My breathing began to finally slow, though my heart still pounded. His arm was draped across my stomach, holding me to his side. The small room in our small house was nearly dark, only illuminated my the half-moon near the horizon.
So much had happened in this year that I don't know where to begin. My thoughts went first to where I am today.
With Spike.
Dawn, Spike, and myself had packed up the week after the apocalypse and got the hell out of there. First going to Disney Land so Spike could ride on the roller coasters with Dawn. Then heading east to Las Vegas, which is where we ended up staying. It was far enough away that we could make our own lives, but close enough that we could get back if we were needed.
The air conditioning turned on and blasted the room with cool air. Our sweaty bodies began to dry and I felt a chill come over me. Spike pulled me closer to where I was lying almost under him.
Angel had helped Spike get a fake I.D with all the necessary fake papers that he would need to live as a human.
Spike was alive.
As in having a heart beat, breathing, bronzed skin....he was human.
The only thing was that he and Angel both kept their strength. None of us know what that means and I don't think any of us want to. It might mean that my fight to save the world still hasn't ended. But as of right now it has and I wish to enjoy it.
Spike is now a bouncer at a popular club on the strip. His strength earned him a good position which also pays very well. Now he won't let me work. Instead I have gone back to school and I'm trying to become a legitimate school counselor. Helping kids with their problems seems to make me feel important. Like I've done something worthwhile.
Dawn is going to school here and has made quite a few friends. She never had many in Sunnydale but has managed to find some here. I think getting away from the Hellmouth did us all good. Spike is more relaxed, I feel like I can breathe and that I can have a life. Now I do get to study instead of slay..and I like it this way.
Last I heard Anya and Xander were trying to make another go at their relationship. I pretended to act surprised to make Anya feel happy...but I could've told you that it would happen. I hope that Xander is going to be able to stick it out this time...the thought of turning into his father scares him so much. But he isn't his father I don't really think he has anything to worry about.
Willow is with Kennedy now. But somehow I feel like in a way she has jaded Tara. Maybe it's because Tara became very important to me before she died. She was such a great person and I still miss her so much. I don't think Kennedy will be able to ever replace her and as much as I hate to say it... I don't think her and Willow will last very long. There's just no chemistry.
Giles went back to England and he plans to stay there. But I did make him promise to visit more often. I don't really need him. I'm not a slayer anymore, so he really has no place here. Except for being my surrogate father. But he can do that from England..for the most part.
Faith had gone back to jail to finish her sentence. Both Wesley and Angel visit her regularly, and hopefully with Wesley's help she'll be on parole in not time. Gunn and Fred are working out their differences and maybe they'll be able to be friends. I didn't know them all that much but they seem like they really care for each other. I was surprised by Angel's feelings for Cordelia..and vise versa..Their lives have really turned into a soap opera with his son Conner. I'm relieved that I really have no part in it all.
That day, our sow down with The First..that day was the day my life ended and began for me...and it was the best day of my life. It was the ending of the existance that I had grown to know..my slaying...the fighting..the death. I'm not that girl anymore. I'm just a regular girl, with a regular boyfriend, going to school..livng. I'd give anything for my mom to be able to see me like this. Just an ordinary girl...
"Can't sleep luv?" Spike whispered in my ear, tightening his grip around my waist.
"No...just remembering."
"Hmmm." His still half-asleep brain barely registerd my words.
I looked down at the small dimand ring on my finger, smiling at the beauty and simplicity of it. Deep down this is what I always wanted..something simple but full of love.
Great...Now I sound like a Hallmark card...
Anyway..Our wedding is planned for August..on hopefully a hot day with lots of sun. Spike still can't believe he gets to be in the sun and likes to enjoy it as much as possible. Especially in the sun with me. He told me that when he marries me he wants to do it in the sun....Though I was forced into promising that "Wind Beneath My Wings" wouldn't be played in any form on that day. I'm not sure why that song bothers him so much.
There is also another thing..and I haven't even told him yet...or anyone for that matter..
In February...if my timing is right..I'll make a daddy out of him..but I suppose things like that should be saved to tell when he is awake and capable of coherent thought. But I know either way he'll be estatic...
I love what we have become...and where we are headed...And how much a year has dne for us..
I wouldn't have it any other way...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N: I could very easily continue on with this story but I don't know if I will...give me some imput..Be happy..Give Spike a Hug..
