Title: The Minister's Daughter
Summary: A/U Buffy is the minister's daughter. A British boy, William aka Spike, comes to live with them for a while. He finds himself falling helplessly in love with her, and she finds herself doing the same. But
something from her past stops her from being with him.
Disclaimer: You know the drill. I don't own any of them. Not even my baby Spike. It's very sad really; some of you feel my pain. The pain of not owning Spike. Spike belongs to Joss. I want to be Joss. He owns the sexiest vampire . . . walking.

'Knock. Knock.'
Buffy lifted her head as the door to her bedroom creaked open.
"Nick, what are you doing here? I thought that you didn't . . ." Buffy said, walking over to her brother.
"I don't. But, I heard my sister needed someone." Nick said.
"I don't, I'm fine, really."
"Buff, you can't fool me. I know you, believe it or not."
Buffy smiled at her brother. She may have wanted Spike to be the one in the room with her, but this was a whole different side of Nick she'd never seen. She liked it. She needed someone, and he could tell. She always knew though, no matter how bad they fought, Nick would always be there for her, and this was just proof.
"Its just . . ."
"Just what? Spike?" Nick asked.
"Yeah. I want to talk to him, you know, have some kind of contact with him." Buffy said. "I love him."
"Maybe I can help you there." Nick said.
"I don't understand."
"You want to see Spike, right?"
"So much." Buffy said. "But I still don't see what you're getting at."
"What if I told you I could find a way for you to be with Spike."
"I'd love you forever. I'd owe you forever."
"You wouldn't owe me anything. Just knowing you're happy is enough. All I can do is cover for him, I'm sure he can sneak out the window. Mom and dad are gone out for the night, you know, church thing. They didn't want to go, but I convinced them I would make sure you two wouldn't come together."
"Nick, oh my god! You are the best!" Buffy said, hugging him. "What time do they leave?"
"Already gone. Here." Nick said.
Buffy's eyes filled with tears. Finally, her and Spike could be together for a night, and maybe the night after. With one last hug, Buffy bounced out the door and ran to Spike's prison cell. Quickly, she opened the door and stood there. Spike looked shocked to see her, he only sat there. He had no idea what was going on. Was he seeing things?
"Buffy?" He asked.
"Spike, oh my god. Are you okay? You're hand . . . Was hurt. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine . . . how did . . ."
"Nick. He'll cover for you. We can go, we can be together tonight."
Spike felt the tears stinging his eyes, but he kept them back. Buffy didn't need to see him crying, she needed him to be strong for her, to show her everything would turn out right in the end, even if he wasn't sure of it himself.
Buffy ran into his arms and he held her tight, not wanting to ever let go. She pulled back; just far enough to let her lips crash against his in a passionate, needy kiss.
"What do you want to do first pet?" Spike asked.
"Lets get out of this prison." Buffy said, removing herself from Spike's lap. "Why don't we hit the Bronze?"
"Sounds great luv."
"Just let me go get changed." Buffy said, giving him a mind-blowing kiss before walking out the room.

The playground was deserted as Faith strolled through the park. She had to get out of that house; it was like a hell dimension. She felt so bad for Buffy, her parents telling her she wasn't keeping the baby, them taking her away from Spike.
The wind blew her brown hair around her head as she took a seat on one of the swings. She often came to the park when she was here, staying with the Summers. She always knew her mother never loved her, and she had grown to think of Joyce and Hank as parents, but now, she was glad they weren't hers.
"Faith, what are you doing here?"
Turning around at the sound of the familiar voice, Faith saw Xander standing there, looking confused. She wondered why he wasn't out with Anya, the two were inseparable lately.
"I could ask you the same thing."
"I asked you first though." Xander said, sitting on the swing next to her.
"I come here, when I'm upset, or need to think. You know that. You're turn."
"We used to always come here together, I guess I just never stopped coming. It's a great place to be alone. When you don't want to talk to other people, or have them question you."
"Well, I'm not leaving, so I guess you're going to have to talk." Faith said.
"I don't mind talking to you." Xander said. "And if I remember correctly, you quite enjoy my company."
"I do."
"What's wrong? You look . . . Worried."
"Its nothing Xand, really." Faith said. "I'm just . . . Its Connor. I mean, every time I look at him, I see you. I . . . I remember that day, the day I had to look into his big, brown eyes and say goodbye. Do you know how much that hurts? To watch something that lived inside of you for nine months be taken away, something that is a part of you, something that depends on you to live. I know how Buffy . . ." Faith stopped herself, hoping Xander hadn't caught the last part.
"Wait a minute. How Buffy what? Faith, what's up?"
"I can't tell you Xander, I promised. Its not my decision." Faith said.
"If something is wrong with Buffy I think I have the right to know. I'm her best friend. Or one of them anyways and she would tell me. She would."
"Xander, its not that I don't want to tell you, really. I just think Buffy should decide whether or not you guys know."
"Please, if Buffy is hurt, or in trouble, I want to help. I love her, she's like my sister." Xander said. "Why wouldn't she tell me?"
"Considering the way you guys acted when you found out about Spike, I don't blame her."
"That was different . . ."
"No, it wasn't. You way overreacted with that. And I know, you will totally blow your roof with this. And I don't think I'm helping."
"I . . . I know."
"What?" Faith asked, shocked.
"Buffy's . . . Buffy's pregnant. That's how you know . . ."
"Okay, but for the record, you figured this out on your own. No help from Faith."
"I'll kill Spike, I'll kill him."
~*~
"I still can't believe it Spike, I can't believe that I'm in your arms again." Buffy said, as they danced.
"I know pet, I know." Spike said, kissing her neck. "I love you Buffy."
"I love you too." Buffy said as she cuddled into him.
When the song was over, Buffy and Spike found a table and sat down. Spike had gone off to get them some drinks, when Willow and Oz came up to her.
"Buffy, how are you?"
"Five by Five." Buffy said, imitating Faith.
"I'm sorry about Spike, really." Willow said. "I know he must be a great guy and I know we didn't give him much of a chance but hey, all chancey now."
"Thanks Will. I'm sorry about the other day. I kind of wigged at you. I was just . . . Well, I'm going to miss him a lot."
"Speaking of him." Oz said as Spike approached the friends.
"Spike, hi." Willow said.
Spike nodded at her, then looked at Buffy. She copied his nod and he sat down. Willow and Oz also sat down, and some of the tension seemed to magically disappear. Maybe they could all start over again.
"Thanks for the drink." Buffy said, sipping her coke. "Yummy."
"Welcome luv."
"So, Spike, I'm sorry to hear about the leaving." Willow said.
"Right . . ." Spike said, unsure.
"I am. Really, I don't want you to leave. Because then happy Buffy's going to be all-sad Buffy and I don't like the sad Buffy."
"Will, why don't we let them be alone?" Oz asked.
"Oh yeah, you guys probably want to spend some time all alone together and stuff. Bye." Willow said as she jumped off the chair and followed Oz.
"Okay . . . That was different." Buffy started. "What now? We had a few dances, few drinks."
"Why don't we go for a walk? I hear the park is nice." Spike said.
"As long as I'm with you."

Skye and Riley walked along the street hand in hand. They had been going out for only a few days, but it seemed longer then that. They had never known that the feelings they felt for one another were so strong. Its hard to believe they spent most of their time trying so hard to make someone else love them, they never realized that their true love was right beside them.
"Riley?" Skye asked, hugging his torso.
"Yeah?"
"Its funny." Skye said as they turned into the park.
"What is?"
"I . . . I don't know why, but I kind of miss Buffy. I mean, after what she did to me, I shouldn't even think of her as anything in my life, but I love her like a sister."
"Well, considering you two grew up together, I can see why. Do you want to talk to her?" Riley asked.
"No, I just want to know that she's okay. You know?" Skye asked.
"Yeah, I know."
Riley pulled her closer and the two sat down on one of the park benches. They sat there in silence, content in each other's arms, not wanting to spoil the moment.
~*~
Buffy sat on Spike's lap on the soft, green grass in the park. His arms were wrapped around her shoulders and she wanted to stay like that forever. But, unfortunately that wasn't going to happen.
"Spike, do you ever think about marriage?" Buffy asked.
"Sometimes, why?"
"Who with?"
"You of course pet, who else?" Spike asked.
"Well, I don't know . . . I think about it . . . More them normal. I guess it's the stress of you leaving, or maybe just the fact that I love you so much, I know you're the one I want to be with for the rest of my life." Buffy said, and went on. "I had this dream the other night. I didn't want to wake up from it, it was that good. We were married and in love like never before. We had two kids, a little girl, Jasmine and a baby boy Nicholas. Nicholas looked just like you, Jasmine couldn't. But, you still loved her like your own. Anyways, we had this small, cozy house just outside of Sunnydale with white shudders and a big blue door . . ."
"Sounds great luv, and I one day, you'll have that house. And those kids. And me. I promise you that."
Buffy smiled up at him before turning around in his arms so that her head rested on his chest. She took in the smell of cigarettes, alcohol and cologne, his smell.
~ Okay, the end was rushed, must admit. Sorry, but that, and yes, it sucks. Thanks EmilyTheStrange1! Check out her stories, they the bomb lol ~
