Buffy laid in the recovery room. She had gotten her operation and it
had gone perfectly. She was just waking up now and everyone was in the room
to greet her.
"Hey baby" Spike said quietly.
"Hi" Buffy said. "Did the surgery go well?"
"Very well honey, they said it went without a glitch," Joyce said. Buffy smiled.
"So they got it all?" Buffy asked.
"All of it pet, they had to remove the gal bladder and the spleen, but you knew that, you're going to fine" Spike said and kissed her on the forehead.
"Oh. . .good" Buffy said and closed her eyes. She was still rather tied from the anesthesia they gave her.
"Sweetie we're so happy you're okay" Cordelia said.
"Yeah it's like the biggest relief in the world," Willow said.
"Buffy, I brought you Mr. Gordo" Dawn said. Buffy smiled at her baby sister.
"Thanks sweetie" Buffy said and took him from her.
"And also some flowers" Dawn said.
"Thank you, where are Robbie and Charley?" Buffy asked.
"They're at the neighbor's, I'll go get them a little later" Spike said.
"Okay" Buffy said.
"We should go and let you rest sweetheart," Joyce said.
"No, I don't want to be alone, please" Buffy said. Spike leaned over and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Okay baby, we won't go anywhere," he said.
"Kay" she smiled.
"Okay honey we won't leave, but I'm going to go get some coffee, anyone else want?" Joyce asked.
"I'll come with" Willow said and kissed Buffy on the forehead. "Be back."
"I'll go too," Cordelia said.
"Maybe we should all go, leave the Buffster and Spike to have some alone time" Xander said and kissed Buffy on the head. Everyone but Buffy and Spike left.
"Will you hold me?" Buffy asked her husband.
"Of course" he said. He climbed in bed with her and she snuggled up to him.
"I love you so much" she said.
"I love you too baby" he whispered and kissed her on the forehead.
**********************
Spike opened the door to his and Buffy's house. He helped her in and helped her to the couch.
"Okay baby, I'll be right back okay, I'm going to put Robbie and Charley to bed" Spike said. "Hey bit, will you help me?"
"Sure" Dawn said and took Charlotte and she and Spike went upstairs.
"It feels so good to be home," Buffy said.
"Here honey, lie down" Joyce said. Buffy laid down and Joyce covered her up with a blanket. "I'll go get you a pillow, or two, do you want two?"
"Sure, thanks mom" Buffy said. Joyce smiled and went upstairs. Xander, Willow, Cordelia and Oz looked at each other uncomfortably.
"So. . ." Cordelia said.
"So uh. . ." Xander said.
"Guys is something wrong?" Buffy asked.
"Nothing sweetie we just. . .we. . .just" Willow tried to say.
"What?" Buffy asked.
"We're just worried. . .about you" Oz said.
"I'm fine you guys, what. . .what are you worried about?" Buffy asked.
"I don't know, we don't know, we just. . .we love you and we don't want to lose you" Cordelia said.
"Don't, you're going to make me worried, I am fine I promise" Buffy said.
"Okay, we promise not to worry if you promise not to give us a reason to worry" Willow said and kneeled beside Buffy.
"I promise" Buffy said. Willow kissed her on her forehead.
"I'm sorry honey I should go, the neighbors are watching Taylor" Willow said.
"Yeah, we'll talk to you tomorrow okay Buffy" Oz said and took her hand and kissed it.
"Okay, drive safe" Buffy said.
"I should go too" Cordelia said and kissed Buffy on the cheek and hugged her.
"Me too Buff, sorry, tomorrow though" Xander said and kissed her on the forehead.
"Bye you guys" Buffy said. They all left and Spike, Dawn and Joyce came down the stairs.
"Where did everybody go?" Joyce asked.
"Home, they're tired, can't blame them, it's been a hard day, it's been a hard year" Buffy said. Joyce gave Buffy the pillows.
"Well sweetie, I don't want to, but we have to go too, Dawnie has school and I have the gallery showing tomorrow so I'll talk to you tomorrow some time okay" Joyce said.
"Okay, I love you mom, you too Dawnie" Buffy said.
"Love you too Buffy" Dawn said.
"I love you sweetie, goodnight" Joyce said and she and Dawn left. Spike came and sat at one end of the couch and Buffy laid her head on his lap.
"I am so exhausted, I just. . .don't know how I survived all of this and I don't mean because I was sick, I just don't know how I found the strength" Buffy said.
"You're strong that's how, I knew you could" Spike said.
"I look back at everything, moving here, meeting you, getting pregnant, getting married, getting raped, getting pregnant, getting divorced, getting cancer-" Buffy named off her list.
"Surviving" Spike said, stopping her. "You survived all of the bad things Buffy, you survived death, now how many people can say that? You are the strongest person I have ever met, where other people would give up, you kept fighting, I can't tell you how proud of you I am. . .you're my hero." Buffy eyes filled with tears as she looked up at Spike. She sat up and kissed him. "I love you."
"Prove it" she whispered with a smirk. He picked her up and carried her upstairs into their bedroom and shut the door.
*Ten Years Later*
Buffy sat in the office of her law firm looking over papers for a case. She had been working late for the past three nights trying to get this case ready. Since her operation she had been perfectly healthy and Spike and Buffy had had two more children. Two girls, Sarah and Janelle.
"Knock, knock" Spike said as he came into her office with a bag and two cups of coffee.
"Hi honey" Buffy smiled. "This is a nice surprise.'
"Yeah well" he said and kissed her. "I thought that you needed some food since you've been working your ass off on this case."
"Thank you, you're very sweet" Buffy said.
"So, when are you coming home?" Spike asked and took a drink off the coffee. Buffy unwrapped the one of the burgers that was in the bag and took a bite of it.
"As soon as I'm done" she said.
"And when will that be?" he asked.
"I don't know, I just want this case to go perfectly, I want to win" Buffy said.
"Baby you've won almost every case you've had" Spike said. "And eight years is a long time."
"Well if I want to be the next Johnny Cochran I have to win them all" Buffy said.
"Well even Johnny Cochran got some sleep every once in a while" Spike said.
"Okay, all right I promise, once this case is over I will take it easy for a while, maybe we could go on vacation" Buffy said.
"That's a great idea, you, me, the kids, it'll be great" Spike said.
"But I have to finish this case" Buffy said. Spike frowned, but gave up. He took the bag with his burger in it.
"Okay, you do your thing, I'll be waiting at home for you" he said and kissed her and walked towards the door. "I love you."
"I love you too baby" she said. He left and Buffy went over to her desk where there was a pile of unopened mail. She flipped through it and stopped when she came to a letter from Miller. She opened it and it read.
Dear Buffy,
Well life didn't exactly turn out the way I wanted. I met you, wanted you, had you, and went to jail. I guess I deserved it. I just wanted to apologize for what I did to you. I'm out of prison now, I promise that you'll never hear from you again, I'm sorry
Sincerely,
Miller
Buffy sat at her desk and put down the letter. She had forgotten all about Miller. Was he telling the truth? Was he really going to leave her alone? She really hoped so. Her life was so great and she didn't want anything, or anyone to ruin it. She rubbed her eyes. she was really tired. She decided to finish the cast tomorrow. She got up and went outside and there standing before her was Spike.
"I knew you'd be out soon, you can't resist me," Spike said.
"I got a letter from Miler" Buffy said.
"What? What did he say?" Spike asked.
"Just that, he would stay away from me, he got out of prison two years ago" Buffy said.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, let's go home" Buffy said and took Spike's hand. Buffy grabbed her purse and took a look at the family picture hanging on the wall before shutting the door and leaving.
THE END
HEY! SO THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER. MAYBE I'LL WRITE AN EPILOGUE OR SOMETHING. ANYWAY IF YOU THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA THEN E-MAIL ME AND TELL ME. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT YOU GUYS. ANYWAY PLEASE R/R!
