Disclaimer - I don't own 'em. Well Kaylee and Bethie but that's it.
(+)(+)(+)
Kaylee stood next to her daddy. She was looking down. Daddy was apparently mad. All because she tied up Bethie. She was a whiny poof. So was Anna. Michelle was a bloody poof. All of 'em were boring. She wished Uncle Spike was here. He was cool. He talked funny. Plus he was fun.
"Kaylee why did you tie up Bethie?" Angel asked his daughter. His daughter smiled at him.
"She was bloody boring and I wanted to her some fun!" she said cheerfully. Angel sighed and wished Buffy would hurry back. If he was to punish a 5 year old, wow he didn't want to think about that. His only experiencing was grounding Connor but that was from dates. And he highly doubted that Kaylee was already going on dates.
(+)(+)(+)
Buffy stood at the door watching her future step-son and his girlfriend. Lynn was staring at the clock and Connor was staring at the rug. She shook her head wondering what would have happened if she didn't come here soon. (*Ok Buff, no more thoughts about that*) she told herself. Finally she spoke to Lynn. Her voice was caring but cold.
"Lynn, I want you to gather your stuff and go home." She told her. Lynn looked at her and nodded. She left the room leaving Buffy and Connor alone. Buffy shut the door. While turning to face Connor, she began to speak.
"So...You and Lynn have some fun while up here alone?" Buffy asked Connor. He shrugged. Buffy got angrier.
"I want to know what were you think you were doing. Kissing and hugging I can understand. But when the clothing starts to fall away, that's where all my understanding starts to dim. What the hell did were you thinking?!? You are 14 years old!" Buffy told her step-son angrily. Connor looked up at her.
"Lynn's different. She understands me and she is really sweet. And I think...I think that I may be in love with her." Connor told Buffy. Buffy felt the anger slid away at his bold statement.
"Connor look, I love you like you were my son. And that means I only want what's best for you. I don't doubt you feelings for her. But it's not time for you yet. Wait until you are both ready and older and ready to deal with the consequences and aftermath. You should enjoy life while you are still young." Buffy finished her speech softy. Connor felt horrible now.
"Look Buffy, I love you too. But what I feel with Lynn it feels soo...right. And I am really glad that you will be a mother to me." He told her. Buffy and Connor embraced. They pulled back after a few moments.
"Now about your punishment," Buffy started. Connor winced. (*Oh, boy I am so going to get it.*)
"We are going to keep this from my fiancé. But you will be grounded for 1 month. No phone, TV or dates. You will come straight home from school. No stopping up 7-11 with friends. Do you understand?" she asked him. He nodded. Everything he got was fair, so he new that Buffy wouldn't over-ground him.
"Thanks for not telling dad." He told her. She smiled back.
"No problem." She said. A thought occurred to her.
"Ok, back to my original question, why did you let Kaylee tie up Bethie?"
(+)(+)(+)
Kaylee sat in her bedroom sulking. She actually got punished. For a long time too. She couldn't watch TV and eat sweets for a whole week! And Bethie got away with anything. She is a bloody stupid. Mommy and Daddy gave her a time out. This was only the beginning. She had to stay in her room with out playing for 10 minutes! This was the worst day ever. She missed everything at home. She missed Uncle Spike the most. He was really cool. And her friends at school. And her Aunts and Uncles. She felt tears sting her eyes. She angrily brushed them away with her arms.
"Crying is for babies, like Bethie and Caden. I am not a baby. I am a big girl." She said to herself. She plopped herself down on her rug and pouted. She didn't like time out. Even if it was for her own good. A soft tap sounded at the door. The door opened and her mommy walked in.
"Kaylee? You ready to come down now?" she asked. Kaylee turned away from her. She was still mad. Buffy gave a soft smile. She went over to her daughter and smiled. She hugged her daughter. She felt Kaylee begin to cry. Kaylee turned into her mother's arms and cried. After a few minutes, Kaylee stopped and just rested in her mother's arms.
"Do you want a surprise?" Buffy asked softly. Kaylee nodded and Buffy picked her up and brought her downstairs. Kaylee looked into her mother's chest. A voice made her whirl her head around.
"Little bit, aren't you gonna give a hug?" a British voice sounded.
"UNCLE SPIKE!" Kaylee screamed.
(+)(+)(+)
Dinner was actually civil. They all sat in the dining room table all laughing and talking like old friends. Angel sat at the head at the table. Buffy to his left, Connor to his right. Kaylee sat next to Buffy and Spike sat next to her. Next to Connor sat Fred. Next to Fred sat Gunn, then Lily and Davey. Next to Spike sat Faith, Hope, Lizzy, Anya, Bethie and Xander, and Lissa.
Half-way through the dinner Kaylee's eyes began to droop and Buffy went to put Kaylee to bed. Kaylee simply pushed her away and asked for Spike to put her to bed. Buffy looked at him and he nodded.
"Night Daddy and Mommy, and Connor and everyone else." Kaylee said sleepily.
"Night Baby." Angel and Buffy replied and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Good night Kaylee." The others replied.
They watched Spike take Kaylee to her room and then continued on talking.
(+)(+)(+)
Kaylee was being tucked into bed. Spike stood next to her. And he waited until the little girl began to fall asleep. He began to leave when he felt the girl's heart and breathing slow. Just before he was out the door a little voice stopped him.
"Uncle Spike?" she asked her voice heavy with sleep.
"Yes little bit?" he asked her.
"I missed you very much; I hope you stay a long time. I love you." She said her voice drifting off. Spike stood next to the door thinking.
"I love you too Nib lit." He said, but Kaylee was fast asleep.
(+)(+)(+)
(*Around 11:30 at night*)
Buffy and Angel stood in the living room together. Spike had gone out for a drink. Everyone else decided to hit the sack earlier. She sighed as she felt Angel's arms wrap around her waist. He rested his head against her shoulder and inhaled her scent.
"Two more days, until I am lawfully yours" Buffy said softly. He smiled and kissed her neck.
"Two more days..." he said. Buffy turned in his arms to give him a kiss. Their lips met in a gentle 'I love you with all my heart kiss'.
"Ahem..." a voice startled them. They broke apart and looked at the intruders.
It was Joyce, Hank, and a sleepy looking Dawn. Buffy gave a small wave and a nervous laugh.
"Hi daddy, mom and Dawn!" Buffy said a little too cheerfully.
(+)(+)(+)
Oh a pretty long chapter!
Things to look forward to in the next chappie -
+Everyone getting excited for the wedding
+Buffy and Joyce arguing
+Giles, Olivia and the twins come to visit
+Spike gets stuck babysitting – the twins, Caden, Lissa, Lizzy, Kaylee and Bethie.
Thank for all the reviews! Keep them coming!
Love, Lily
