Chapter 2
When Spike and Emily walked into the house that they moved into a few years ago, they were greeted by a not so happy Buffy. "Look what I found." Spike said and Buffy looked past him at her daughter.
"So I see, do you have any idea what time it is?" She asked Emily.
"Time for bed, night." She said as she walked to her room. Buffy grabbed her arm to stop her.
"You're not getting off that easily." Emily sighed and looked back at her mother. "We need to talk and then you can go to bed. In my room." Buffy walked to her room and Emily looked at Spike.
"Help," she said quietly and he shook his head.
"Sorry bit, you're alone on this one. I can't bail you out of everything." Emily sighed and then smirked which she also learned from him.
"Have I told you how hot you're looking these days." She said in a flirtatious voice and Spike raised his eyebrows. Buffy came back out after that and glared at her daughter.
"Don't you dare hit on him, young lady. It's disturbing." Emily rolled her eyes.
"I'm just playing and it's not like we're related." Buffy rolled her eyes also.
"That is not the point, he helped me raise you." Buffy then grabbed her arm and pulled her into her room to talk. When they were both inside, Buffy closed the door behind them. After the door was closed Spike shook his head and went to his room. Inside Buffy's room they were both sitting on her bed looking at the other, not sure what to say. When Emily got older, Buffy finally told her the truth about her father and how he left before Emily was even born. It was hard for her to accept at first, but then she realized that she had a lot of father figures around that obviously loved her more than her real father.
"I'm sorry about being late. I guess I just lost track of time. You know how time flies when you're having fun." Emily said, trying to lighten up the mood. "I would have been earlier if it wasn't for that stupid vampire." That seemed to get Buffy's attention.
"So, you were late and slayed a vampire in the process. What did I tell you about that? I don't want you fighting vampires. I know you've had some training and could handle yourself in a bad situation, but that's not your responsibility and it's not the kind of life I want for you." Emily sighed.
"I know that, but what was I supposed to do. Let him bite me or someone else. Someone had to do it since you basically gave up on the slaying." Emily told her.
"There are other Slayers out there, millions infact and I happen to know of one that lives here that could have handled it. I just want you to be careful and to not have the life that I had. I worry about you." Emily nodded.
"I know, everyone worries about me. I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm 15- years-old. I can take care of myself if I need to." Buffy sighed.
"You're starting to sound like Dawn when she was your age, and I thought she was a problem." Buffy told her with a smile and Emily returned it. The last 12 years have been hectic for them, they all had to deal with having normal lives and after years of slaying and apocalypses it was hard to get back to the normal life, but they all managed to get on with their lives. Well, all except one. Xander was the only one that was still alone. After all this time he still misses Anya and hasn't been involved with anyone since. He's dated and sometimes they were actually not evil, but he hasn't found anyone yet that he could just settle down with. Buffy wished that her friend could meet someone and be happy, he was a good guy and he deserved some happiness. Dawn was actually dating a doctor named James. He was really sweet and Buffy thought that he would be good for her sister. Willow and Kennedy are still together after all these years and Buffy couldn't be happier for them. They adopted a 4-year-old Asian girl named Connie recently that they loved as if she was their own. The girl still doesn't talk, but they're working on it. Faith and Robin actually got married years ago and Buffy was surprised at first. She never pictured Faith as the marrying type, but she was really happy for them and could see how much they loved each other. She was just glad that Faith finally found someone that she could spend her life with. They had 6-year-old twins named Nikki and Richard. Giles still lives in England and visits occasionally. Willow and Kennedy went up to visit him because they wanted Giles to meet their new daughter. There are still Slayers that show up at the school from all around the world. Giles has retired from training the Slayers and Andrew is now in charge and works for the new council. He has grown up to be a mature adult and now has good fighting skills. Angel and his gang still handle everything in LA and Buffy along with everyone else still keeps in touch with them. They also visit each other whenever they can so Emily can see Angel and the others. They're like a second family. That leaves Buffy and Spike. At first they both agreed to just be friends and that worked out for them at first. For years they've been dating other people and they both realized that they would never love anyone else the way they loved each other, so they decided to give a relationship a try and they've been dating for the past 3 years. They never got married because Buffy didn't think that marriage was for her and Spike agreed, for now anyway. He helped her take care of Emily and basically adopted her as his own.
"So, we're good?" Emily asked and Buffy nodded.
"Yeah, we're good." Emily smiled and lay back on her bed.
"Good," she replied as she stretched out. Buffy looked at her and noticed something.
"Is that a tattoo?" She asked pointing to Emily's ankle.
"Oops, we're still good right?" Buffy crossed her arms and Emily sat up. "It's just a small tattoo, my friends were getting them and I didn't wanna be left out." Buffy rolled her eyes and then looked closer at the tattoo to see that it was a heart with a stake through it.
"Yeah, very classic." Buffy told her.
"You're not mad are you?" Buffy sighed.
"I just don't like when you do this stuff without asking me first." Emily nodded.
"I know, but if I asked you would have said no." Buffy nodded also.
"Yeah, I would have. It's late, just go to bed and we'll talk more later." Emily got off the bed and gave her mom a hug before she left the room. Buffy then sighed and rubbed her eyes. "I'm getting too old for this." She said before she drifted off to sleep.
When Spike and Emily walked into the house that they moved into a few years ago, they were greeted by a not so happy Buffy. "Look what I found." Spike said and Buffy looked past him at her daughter.
