After knocking Willow and Xander push the door open and walk right in, with their heads hung low.
Buffy, Spike and Cassie look at the duo, with varying degrees of confusion on their faces.
Babbling out in unison the two start to tell them what happened. "We didn't, and she, and, and then we and she was gone." Looking up at Buffy, who was still leaning against the desk, watching the two on the floor.
Buffy chuckles, "Okay guys take a breath."
The two look at each other and then back down at the floor. They both notice Spike and Cassie on the floor and look at them.
Willow rolls her eyes to the ceiling, and says, "Of course, why didn't I think to look where Buffy would be first."
Xander is still gazing at the floor, and not paying attention.
"How cute though." Willow exclaims.
"Huh? What? What's cute?" Xander asks startled out of his reverie of carpentry on the wooden flooring in the office, and looking around for anything that could be potentially cute.
Willow pokes him in the ribs as hard as she can, and points to the two on the floor in front of them. "That is." She explains, still pointing at Spike and Cassie.
Spike looks up at the witch, "Hey now, the munchkin here might be cute, but I am not, so take that back. Right now, Red." He says, seemingly insulted, by her.
Buffy laughs at them, covering her mouth. "Oh, but Spikey, honey, it is cute. She's sitting there on your lap, just as happy as can be, and you're playing with her. It's like a Kodak moment or something." She teases, as she looks down at her mate and the tiny little slayer sitting on his lap.
Spike growls, and turns back to playing with the little, plastic animals that Cassie had been carrying around in her pocket, since the day they had found her. It was cute the way they played, she'd pick up an animal and he'd make a sound that was similar to the sound that the animal would make, or say something like 'Sucked a few of those dry in my day.' Which really wasn't for a seven-year-old slayer to be hearing. Buffy had reprimanded him the first time for saying it, but Cassie seemed to just think it to be funny, and would laugh. After that first time she hadn't said anything else.
Willow had walked over to the duo on the floor, and leaned down to Cassie. "Why'd you run off like that? You scared the bejeezus out of us." She asks of the kid.
Cassie looks down shyly at the floor, and fiddles with the animal she was holding. "I-I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry. I just got bored standing there and hearing you and Xander argue, and I came to see what Buffy was doing. I like Buffy."
"There's not many people who doesn't, Munchkin. On both counts." Spike snarks, as he gets up and sits Cassie on her feet. He walks over to Buffy and places his arm around her shoulders, and pulls her closer to him. " 'Specially the part 'bout Buffy, but she's mine."
"That I am, Bleach Boy. You just can't get enough of that can you?"
"Can't get enough of you, Pet. Never will." He growls in her ear, and nuzzles her neck. Making her smile.
"Oh, god my eye! Can you two stop with the PDA's? Please I beg of you."
"Sorry Xan, You're just gonna have to get used to it. It has been a month since we've been together. We are making up for time lost, so the PDA's will be happening a lot." To prove her point, Buffy leans over and gives Spike a chaste kiss on the lips.
While the adults were talking, Cassie had noticed the computer on Spikes desk. She was bored and casually walks over and tugs on the sleeve of his duster.
Looking down and smiling at her, Spike asks, "Yeah, Munchkin? What's up?" He drawls out.
She smiles back up at him, as he looks down on her. Blue eyes meeting blue eyes. She asks, "Can I play on the computer?"
" Wills has been teaching her, and she's pretty good with the thing. It's alright she usually just does school work, and plays games." Buffy explains.
Spike looks from Buffy, and back down at the kid standing beside him, looking so hopeful. He straightens the duster on his shoulders and sighs. "Sure lets see what we can find for you to do on here." He says, taking her little hand and leading her over behind the desk.
"She likes stuff with animals, and anything that she can learn something about is always of the good." Willow says, hoping that she is being helpful.
"Thanks, Red. I think we'll look for something fun. Let's see what Yahoo might have on here, luv." He says turning from the red head and back to Cassie, as he logs on and clicks the link to Yahoo.
"Noah's Ark!" Cassie exclaims, bouncing in the chair on her knees.
Spike looks at the kid with a puzzled look.
"It's fun, and has animals. Willow lets me play it after I finish my schoolwork. It's like a reward." Cassie says, to the bleached man beside her.
"Some reward." Spike mumbles as he logs her into the game.

(A.N. Well I haven't gotten any reviews for this in a while. So I have no one to thank. I'm thinking about posting my other fic and letting this one sit for a little while. Unless you guys really want me to continue this one. I will tell you that Buffy tells Spike about the surprise next chappy.)
