Buffy paced back and forth in the living room waiting for him to
arrive. She didn't know what she was gonna say. She didn't know how she was
gonna say what she didn't know she was gonna say. She just needed to talk
to him. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Buffy sighed before
opening it and there stood Xander.
"Hey Buff" he said holding his and Anya's son in his arms. Gavin was a little older than Maggie was.
"Hey Xand, glad you could come over" Buffy said.
"No prob, I'm here for ya" Xander said.
"Daddy can I play with Maggie?" Gavin asked.
"Sure kid, go ahead" Xander said and put Gavin down.
"She's up in her room sweetie" Buffy said and Gavin ran upstairs. "Don't run."
"So, what's up?" Xander asked.
"We have a big problem, Willow's in England with Giles and I didn't want to wake Spike because daytime and I need your help, not that you were the last one I thought of but-" Buffy babbled on.
"Buffy, what's wrong?" Xander asked.
"It's Dawn" Buffy said.
**********************
Dawn walked through the door of her and Logan's apartment and sat down her purse and jacket.
"Logan? I'm home" Dawn said, afraid that he was drunk or mad at her for some reason.
"Hey baby" he said in a happy tone, this relieved her.
"Hi, w-when are your parents coming?" Dawn asked.
"In a few, sit down I want to talk to you" he said and she followed him into the living room and they sat on the couch.
"What is it, are you okay?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah, I just wanted to apologize for last night, I was drunk and I didn't mean to hit you, I love you, you have to know that" Logan said.
"I-I know, I love you too," she said and he kissed her.
"Good, now come on help me clean up, they'll be here soon" Logan said.
**********************
"What? Are you serious? Is she okay?" Xander asked when Buffy told him what was going on.
"Yeah, I think so" Buffy said.
"Well let's go, I want to kill him" Xander said and headed for the door.
"Xander, stop" Buffy said.
"What, you just told me that a guy is beating on your little sister, and you're telling me *not* to go and make him wished he'd never met her?" Xander said.
"Look believe me, I want to kill him too, but Dawn said to stay out of it, she's afraid" Buffy said.
"Well why wouldn't she be? I mean, I don't understand how a man could hit on a woman like that, and especially the Dawnmeister" Xander said.
"I know, I don't know what to do, I mean part of me wants to go over there and make that creep sorry he's a man, but the other part knows that there are other ways of handling this" Buffy said.
"Like what?" Xander asked.
"I don't know" Buffy said sitting down on the couch and burring her head in her hands. Xander followed and sat next to Buffy and put his hand on her shoulder comforting her. "I've been able to protect her from demons, vampires, hell gods, why can't I protect her from one measly human?"
"Come on Buff, we'll protect her" Xander said.
**********************
It wasn't until a half an hour later that Logan's parents arrived.
"Hey mom, dad" Logan said.
"Hello sweet pea" Logan's mom said.
"Mom, dad you remember Dawn right?" Logan asked.
"Yes, how are you?" Logan's dad asked.
"I'm fine, you?" Dawn asked.
"I'm good thank you," he said.
"Sweetie what happened to your eye?" Logan's mom asked examining it.
"Oh, uh I slipped on some water and hit my eye on the corner of the nightstand, you should of saw it a couple days ago" Dawn said covering for her boyfriend.
"Oh, well you're all right?" she asked.
"Uh yeah fine" Dawn said and Logan put his arm around her.
"Why don't we go and sit on the couch and talk huh?" Logan said and directed Dawn and his parents to the living room.
**********************
Night fell and Spike woke. Xander had went home a couple hours before. Buffy wanted to tell Spike about the situation, but she knew him all too well. If she told him he would probably kill him for sure, soul or none. She decided to tell him anyway.
"Hey slayer" Spike said walking into the kitchen and going to the fridge.
"Hey" Buffy said.
"What's the matter?" he asked getting a bag of blood out of the fridge and putting in a mug and putting it in the microwave.
"Okay, if I tell you this you promise not to like go all vampirey psycho?" Buffy asked.
"I resent that remark, but yeah," Spike said as he took the mug out of the microwave and took a drink from it.
"All right, I just found out that. . .Logan has been hitting Dawn" Buffy said.
"What! I'll kill him, literally" Spike said heading for the door.
"Honey, you can't okay, please, look Dawn doesn't want him to know she told me all right, she's afraid" Buffy said.
"What am I supposed to do just sit back and pretend I don't know?" Spike asked coming back towards her.
"No, we just have to deal with this rationally" Buffy said.
"You're not fooling me, I know you want to kill him as much as I do, maybe more" Spike said.
"You're right, I do, but I have to respect my sister's wishes" Buffy said.
"Your sister is getting beaten by her boyfriend" Spike said.
"I know" Buffy said and sighed in frustration.
**********************
Logan's parents left and Dawn was left alone with him.
"I'm tired, I'm gonna go to bed" she said and headed towards the bedroom.
"Hey" he said and she turned around. "Good covering, but I have to tell you, if you tell anyone, you'll wish you didn't."
"You don't have to threaten me Logan, I won't tell" she said and he came over to her. She thought he was gonna hit her again, but he just kissed her on the head.
"That's a good girl" he said and went into the bathroom. She sighed and went to bed.
"Hey Buff" he said holding his and Anya's son in his arms. Gavin was a little older than Maggie was.
