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.
.:a/n:. And another chapter. I'm on a roll.

Xander laid on his bed, thoughts running through his mind. Mainly thoughts of her. Faith. No matter how had he tried, he couldn't get her or their son out of his mind. Earlier that night in the park, there had been a spark. A spark that had never really gone away, but one he tried so hard to hide. All Faith wanted was for him to be happy, and he wasn't. How can anyone be happy pretending to love someone you don't, and pretending to not love someone you do?
Why did all of this have to be so heartbreaking? Staying with Anya wouldn't only hurt him, but Faith. But leaving Anya would hurt her, and he didn't want to hurt her.
Reaching into his back pocket, Xander pulled out a small picture of his and Faith's son Connor and smiled. How could he let his own child grow up without a father?
He stood up and walked over to the mirror. A picture of Anya rested in the crevice. He traced her features before pulling it down. He couldn't be with Anya anymore. He couldn't deny his feelings for Faith any longer. He had to be with her. And Connor.

Faith stared out her window at the rain pouring down. She had went to check on Buffy earlier, but realized that she had went out through the window. She would cover for her cousin though. After all, she knew just how she felt. Being separated from the one you love.
Connor began to cry and Faith slowly walked over to her son. "What's wrong Baby?" she asked, picking up her two year old. "Are you hungry?" Connor shook his head. "Do you want to play?" He shook his head again. "What then Baby?"
"Xander."
Faith smiled. "I don't think Xander is going to be coming anytime soon."
The doorbell rang downstairs and with Buffy's parents gone out for dinner and Buffy out with Spike, Faith sighed before heading downstairs to answer it. She put Connor gently in her playpen in the living room and opened the door.
~*~
Xander waited impatiently for someone to answer the door. He figured that the Summers were out because the car was gone. And hoped Faith had stayed with Connor. Just as he was about to walk away, the door opened and Faith stood there, a confused smile on her face.
"Xander?" she asked, watching as he walked up to her.
He took her into his arms and kissed her passionately. Faith's arms wrapped around his neck and she lifted one of her legs up, like in a movie. When Xander pulled back, Faith stood there, a bit dazed at what had just happened.
"I love you Faith, and I want to be with you. You and Connor. No more hiding, no more lies. I just want to be with you so bad. I tried to forget you, forget what we have. But I cant. I never could. I love you Faith and please, say you'll be with me," Xander said, breathless and soaked from the rain.
"Are you for real?" she asked, amazed. "You want to be with me?"
"I don't joke about love Faith. You of all people should know that. I love you and Connor and I want to be his daddy."
Faith smiled before kissing him lightly again. "Come inside, you must be freezing."
Xander walked inside behind her. 'I did it. And I'm happy.'
