Chapter 15
Emily screamed as she held on to a metal bar when she fell. Spike then ran at David and punched him knocking him to the ground. He looked down and saw Emily holding on to the bar. "Help, I'm slipping!" She yelled, tears falling down her face. Spike reached out to her.
"Take my hand." He told her and she looked up at him. She let go with one hand and reached for his. He stretched and grabbed her hand in his. "It's okay, I got you." He told her.
"Spike, I'm slipping. Don't let go." Spike shook his head.
"I'll never let you go, just hold on." He then used all of his strength to pull her up. When he got her up and she was safe she hugged him.
"I was so scared." She said as he held her.
"It's okay now, you're safe." He said as he kissed her forehead. They got up and went to Buffy. She had David tied up and unconscious on the floor. She didn't care if she hit him too hard. When she saw that Emily was okay she gave her a big hug.
"Don't ever scare me like that again, okay?" Buffy told her and Emily nodded.
"I promise." Emily said as she continued to cry. Buffy then let her go and turned back to David. She then got out her cell phone and handed it to Spike.
"Call the police, he's their problem now." Spike nodded and took the phone, and then Buffy hugged Emily again. When the police got there they all left and headed back home. Everyone was happy that Emily was okay and when all the hugging and questions were done they all left to their own homes leaving Buffy, Spike, and Emily alone. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm exhausted." Buffy said and they both agreed.
"Yeah, I could sleep for a week." Emily said. She then walked into her room and lay down without even bothering to close her door. Buffy then looked at Spike and she was about to say something when the phone rang. She went to pick it up.
"Hello," she said and smiled as she recognized the voice of Benny. "Yeah, we're fine and Emily's safe. Thank you for your help, we really appreciate it." She was listening to what else he had to say and raised her eyebrows. "Wow that really explains a lot." The next thing he said had her rolling her eyes. "Goodbye, Benny." She said as she hung up the phone and went back to Spike who was looking at her.
"So, what did he have to say?" Buffy looked at him.
"He just wanted to see that we were okay." Spike wasn't completely convinced.
"You mean he just wanted to see that you were okay. It seemed like there was more than that though." Buffy nodded.
"He found out something about David. Turns out that he went mental some years ago and spent some time in an Institution, have to say that I'm not surprised." Spike nodded, not sure what else to say. Buffy then smiled at him.
"He also gave me a little advice. He said that if I ever wanted to leave you that he would have a place for me." Spike rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, I bet he said that. He helped us out tonight so I'll let that go this time, but I'm not happy about it." He told her and she kissed him.
"No need to be jealous, honey. You know I love you." Spike rolled his eyes again.
"I'm not jealous, and you better say that." He said as he kissed her back.
"Well, I don't know about you but I'm going to bed. This could be the perfect time for you to talk to Emily." Buffy said as she went into her room and closed the door. Spike then took a deep breath and headed towards Emily's room. She still hasn't moved from her position on the bed.
"Hey," he said as she looked up at him.
"Hey yourself," she replied as she sat up and he sat down next to her.
"So, you've had a pretty interesting weekend." Emily smiled.
"I don't know if that's the word I would use, but my friends are gonna freak when I tell them about this." Spike smiled at her.
"We were all worried about you. There are a lot of people that love you around here." Emily nodded.
"I know, I wanted to thank you for saving my life. I was really scared, but when I saw you I knew that everything would be okay." Spike nodded also.
"Of course, you know I wouldn't let anything happen to you." He said as he brushed a strand of hair off her face. "I love you, sweetheart. I just hope you know that." Emily had tears in her eyes as she hugged Spike.
"I love you too, dad." Spike couldn't help but let his tears fall at the fact that she actually called him dad. He just held her and finally had everything that he always wanted. A real family. There was only one thing missing. Spike pulled away and looked at Emily.
"So, love. Don't you think it's about time I asked your mum to marry me?" Emily smiled big at him and nodded.
"I'd say it was about bloody time." Spike laughed at that and shook his head.
"Yeah, you both have been spending too much time around me." He said as he hugged her again and he couldn't help but think that he wouldn't have it any other way.
The End
That's all folks, thanks for reading I appreciate it. I swear I hardly had any ideas when I started this story; stuff just came to me as I typed. I actually like how it turned out though, even though it was probably a bit corny. I was in a mood. Until next time, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars=)
