Spike passed Harmony's desk as he was about to walk into Angel's office.
"Spike."
The vampire turned around and stared at his former love. "Yeah."
"I've a letter for you."
He stared at her, clearly surprised. "For me?"
"For who else? As far as I can remember there is only one guy here who calls himself Spike. Still don't know why? Now you have gone all good."
Spike smirked at the jealousy behind her tone. "Right, luv. Can I have the letter?"
She handed him the letter and continued polishing her nails. He glanced at the envelope for a moment and sighed as he saw that the stamp wasn't from Europe. He didn't recognize it, it looked pretty strange to him. He shrugged the thoughts off and opened it. He slipped the letter out and read it.
"Spike,
Sorry, for giving you false hope. It's not from Buffy. I'll explain the situation. Andrew told me that you were still alive. Well, I must confess that, uh this is embarrassing, but I'm glad. Really glad. Hope Andrew didn't kiss you all over. Grin. He's doing a great job within the new Council. You see, Anya sacrified her life for him and know he's all motivated.
Spike looked up. //Bloody hell, who would have thought? Girl turned out to be a hero.// A few memories passed by before he continued.
Yes, I know. She is a hero. And I've to say that it doesn't make life any easier. I still miss her with all my heart. But don't tell Andrew.
I don't trust Angel and his evil stronghold. That's also part of the reason why I wrote this letter and why I'm in Africa. You see he has a son and that didn't go all happy. Can't risk his involvement in this . . . Not without your approval. But he's . . . well, hold on . . . he isn't the only souled vampire who's a father. You're the other one. Well, gonna be. And Buffy is the mother.
Spike blinked and read it again. //What!?// He looked at Harmony and he saw her looking confused at him through a mist of bloody tears. "Spike what is it?"
He hold the letter and walked away from the desk to a private room not able to hear Harmony's shouts. Overwhelmed with emotions he sat down on a chair. It's that he did't need to breath, otherwise confusion, happiness mixed with total fear would have sufficated him. He calmed down and started to continue.
A shock, isn't it? Don't worry Buffy is perfectly fine and the child is going to be healthy. You see, I knew that this would happen. I knew it when that asshole coughed my eye out. Still need to thank you for saving me back then. My mind wasn't ready then. Thanks. Like I said, I saw it all. In a flash when the priest talked to me. I vote Buffy out back then, with all the pain in my heart for doing so, because it would bring you two together. I know it sounds strange, but it's true. Didn't know you would end up as a herioc pile of smoking ash though.
I know more, but that's something I can't tell you yet. Also not too Buffy. I'm in Africa to find out more about your child and the only thing I can tell you is that it's a girl and she is going to be a potential. She is going to be The Slayer. Buffy doesn't know that. Only you and I know.
This is it for now, I'll inform you over a few days when I'm back from the desert. Hopefully alive.
Please, don't tell anyone. Don't be too nervous. I know the feeling of being a dad, even though I'm not one. Caused me my wedding. I know you would like to see Buffy and all. I'll tell her that you are alive when she is ready for it. She has other things to worry about right now. So, let me do my thing and you go to a Baby 'R Us store.
