"Mommy." William said as he shook is mother. "Mommy."
Dawn opened her eyes and saw her son. "What's wrong honey?" She asked. "Why are you crying?" She asked sitting up and pulling him onto her lap.
"I."
"Shh. Honey whisper." She told him remembering Spike who was sleeping next to her. "Now tell me what happened?"
"I dreamed of daddy. He was alive and we were a family." He said crying.
"Shh." She whispered as she tried to calm him but failing as tears of her own flowed freely down her cheeks.
"Why'd he leave, mommy? I miss him. I want my daddy back." He cried.
Dawn pulled his head to her chest as he cried. She kissed his head as she too cried over the lost of her best friend, the father of her child.
Spike had woken up at the sound of the door opening but remained quiet. When he heard the young boys words of sadness followed by cried. He sat up and noticed Dawn cry8ing too and his heart broke. * What'd she do to earn this kind of pain? * He wondered. Spike shifted closer to her and pulled Dawn to him and held her as she and her son cried.
Soon after Will fell asleep, Dawn laid her son on the bed and moved closer to Spike. She looked him in the eyes "Thank you Spike." She said and turned back to her soon. Spike laid back down and held Dawn as she held her son.
