"All come to order" the judge said and everyone quieted down. "This is case 45893 Bryson vs. Bryson, now you're saying you want a divorce because you just aren't getting along anymore. After two years of marriage and two kids, alright Mr. Bryson, let's start with you."
"Okay, well we started off great, we were perfect, but. . .something happened, we just weren't anymore" Spike said.
"Okay, you're asking for custody of the two children is that right?" the judge asked. Buffy's eyes went wide and she looked at Spike.
"What? No we agreed!" Buffy said, angry and hurt.
"Mrs. Bryson, please contain yourself" the judge said. "Mr. Bryson please answered the question."
"Yes" Spike said, not looking at Buffy. 'That bastard' Buffy thought in disgust.
"All right, Mrs. Bryson, let's here your side of the story" the judge said.
"We were happy, for a while, but it seemed that, little things just. . .things that weren't supposed to be important were, and we fought over them" Buffy said. "I want custody your honor."
"It doesn't say that here" the judge said looking at the paperwork.
"Well I wasn't going to sue him for it, we had an agreement, we would work that out separately, I didn't know he was gonna. . .but I do want it, I love my children" Buffy said.
"Okay, well let's go on, Mr. Bryson where do you work?" the judge said.
"Uh, at Lincoln's Auto shop" Spike said.
"Good money?" the judge asked.
"Yeah, very good" Spike said. Buffy looked at Spike in revulsion and he looked back at her for a second and turned away. She couldn't believe he was doing this to her. They had agreed. But then again she wasn't about to give them up so it would probably end up here anyway, but why couldn't he tell her? Sneaky son of a-
"Mrs. Bryson? Mrs. Bryson" the judge asked.
"Yes?" Buffy asked, snapping out of her thoughts.
"Do you have a presentable job, can you support your kids?" the judge asked.
"Uh, I work at Hair&Fashion, it's a little clothes/hair place on the corner of Berkley and Concord" Buffy said.
"Okay, does it make good money? Enough to support two children, along with yourself?" the judge asked.
"Yes, and I'm going to school, so I'll have a better job afterward" Buffy said.
"What are you majoring in?" the judge asked.
"Uh business and law, I want to start my own law firm" Buffy said.
"Very good, good luck on that" the judge said. "Both of you have dependable jobs, good money, what about a place to live?"
"Uh, I gave Buffy the. . .house" Spike said, realizing that that could hurt his case.
"Where are you staying?" the judge asked.
"At my friend Xander's I'm looking for an apartment now" Spike said.
"Okay, we'll take a short recess and I'll come back with my decision" the judge said.
*Later*
They waited for fifteen minutes and the judge came back.
"Order please" she said and everyone sat down. "Okay, I've made my decision based upon living situations and money. . .I'm giving custody to Mrs. Bryson, Mr. Bryson will see them every other weekend, Friday to Monday, Mr. Bryson if you have a place to live that is solely yours in two months then schedule another hearing, not before, not after, two months, April 15th is that clear?"
"Yes" he said quietly. Buffy look at him and he looked at her with hurt in his eyes and she almost felt sorry for him, but she remembered he was the one who did this in the first place.
"Court is adjourned" the judge said and everyone got up. Joyce, Willow and Cordelia hugged Buffy. Xander and Oz went over to Spike and patted him on the back consoling him.
"Let's go, I want to get home to my babies" Buffy said and glanced at Spike. He looked glaringly at her. "Uh hold on a sec." She walked over to him and Xander and Oz departed so they could talk alone. "Why didn't you tell me you were suing for custody?"
"Doesn't matter, you won" he said harshly.
"I thought we agreed not to hate each other, and we would-" Buffy began.
"No you agreed" he said coldly and walked away. Buffy looked on at him and felt rage start to build. 'He wants an apocalypse, I'll give him one' she thought and walked away with Cordy, Willow and her mom. 'This is war.'
