AN: hey guys I'm back. It's been a really long time, I know, but here it is the next three chapters of Changes. Enjoy.

Dawn woke up at the buzzing sound of her alarm clock. She reached over and hut it off, hoping that it didn't wake Spike. When she turned around, Spike was already awake. "Morning."
"Mornin' love." He said moving a strand of loose brown hair from her face. "How you feelin'?"
"Better. Thank you Spike."
"Mommy?", Williams voice called, making Dawn turn to look down at him. "Who's dat?" He asked, pointing to Spike.
"Will, honey, this is my friend. His name is Spike."
"Hello, William." Spike said smiling down at the young boy.
"Hi." He replied, shyly.
"Honey, why don't you go brush your teeth and get ready for school. I'm sure Uncle Angel is making breakfast already."
William nodded and gave Dawn a kiss before scrambling out of the bed and out of the room.
Dawn turned to Spike.
"When are you going to tell me what happened to the kids father?" He asked.
"He was my best friend. We met in college. One night we got drunk at this party, at his dorm. One this led to another and we ended up having sex. I got pregnant. We decided that we'd do a joint custody thing. We loved each other and all but not the way we should so he agreed. I'd take Will to school and John would pick him up and they'd spend time together at his house till I got out of class or work. Sometimes we'd go out, the three of us. We'd take Will to the park and the zoo, just do family things." She stopped and took a deep breath. "One day I got a call from the hospital. John had taken Will out to dinner and they were attacked. Some vamps thought that the kid of a slayer would make a good trophy piece. They tried to get Will, but John fought some of them off. He knew about vamps. Anyways, he told Will to run and get help. Will ran back to main street and a women found him. He led the women back to the ally, they found John on the floor. He. his breathing was slow, shallow. He had a week pulse. The woman took him to the hospital. When I got there John had died, extreme blood loss. William had been in the room with him when it happened. Apparently John had wanted to tell William something. He told hi that he loved him and to tell me that he would always love me." She stopped a tears flowed down her cheeks. Spike pulled her to him. "They turned him Spike. I had to stake him." She sobbed out.
