Chapter 10

They entered the room a still silence hung in the air. Angel and Spike exchanged glances, as the only sound was everyone's breathing. Buffy walked down the rest of the stairs and took the paper from Willow.

"Can it be really true?" Buffy asked looking at the paper. "I mean if it was just that easy then why didn't we try a spell when Angel and I were together?"

Spike let out a growl at the thought of Angel and Buffy together. Amber looked over at Spike a little frightened. She had no idea what was going on. She was only five years old and she looked just as lost and confused as any five year old would.

"Well things have changed since then," Willow answered. "We didn't know if there was a spell out there, but now we know and I think that's how Spike was made human in the first place."

"But who could have done the spell?" Buffy asked. "Giles was too busy doing research on the prophecy and Spike was too busy trying to get a job. You were planning the wedding with Tara. I mean we all were too busy to be doing the spell."

"I did it," Dawn said from behind them. "I found it one day when I was helping researching the prophecy. I figured it would help Buffy out if Spike could go out in the daylight."

"Dawnie, this is a very powerful spell," Willow said concerned. "You have to have some major witching power for something like this,"

Dawn shrugged and picked up Amber. She sat down on the steps and looked at everyone. She let out an unneeded breath and kissed Amber on the head.

"Wait, how would it help me?" Buffy asked confused. "I didn't find out I was pregnant until the day Spike turned human."

"Mom visited me one night when I was sleeping," Dawn answered. "She told me that you were expecting and she was really hated the fact she would have to miss it. She told me there was one book that Giles had that could solve your problem. So I got the book and I found the spell. I grabbed the supplies and left the money on the counter."

"So that's where the money came from," Willow said relived then saw everyone's glare.  She shut her mouth and let Dawn continued.

"I waited until Buffy and Spike went out patrol," Dawn continued. "I had heard them two nights before so I knew the deed was done."

The blood rushed to Buffy's cheeks and Spike cleared his throat letting everyone know how uncomfortable he was.

"I wasn't sure it worked until two days later and Spike actually had human color to him," Dawn added.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Buffy asked. "Everyone spent nights researching. I was so worried maybe someone was trying to take Spike away from me."

"You didn't tell me that, love," Spike, said concerned.

Spike walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. He was still amazed how her body had returned to its incredible firm form. It still surprised him that his desire for her had doubled.

It had been five long years lost and confused until he finally got her back. He finally got his life back on track and he realized his body missed her petite form. If he could he would ravish her here and now if there were no one around.

Buffy stiffened when she felt Spike's hardness press against her butt. She held back her squeak, but she had to admit she missed her husband's sexual appetite. He had been wonderful in bed and always left her longing for more.

She thanked the heavens above for his ability to recover quickly. It was like he was sixteen-year-old boy except even now as he was human he recovered quite quickly for a man of his age. Of course she had only been with him once and she didn't know if he could go all night long like he used to, but she was determined to find out.

Everyone was staring at them wondering what exactly attracted him or her to each other. Even now, they found themselves locked together no matter if it was in arms or other body parts. They were locked together and forever if it was possibly.

Willow decided to get back on subject and looked at Dawn.

"Dawnie, this kind of magic could be deadly," Willow warned. "How did you do it?"

"I used my key energy," Dawn answered with a shrug.

Everyone gasped, except for Amber and Dawn. Buffy stared worriedly over at her baby sister. She definitely could have got herself killed and it would have been her fault. Even if Vampires couldn't reproduce, she still should have used protection. Plus she was on birth control.

"Nibblet, you do realize you were walking into deadly territory with that?" Spike asked in a fatherly tone.

"I've done it before," Dawn answered simply.

"YOU WHAT!?" Buffy roared sending Amber into a crying frenzy.

 Spike, reluctantly, let go of Buffy's waist and took Amber from Dawn. He cradled her in his arms like she was a baby. Buffy smiled and a sudden thought hit her.

Maybe, we should have another one, Buffy thought. Maybe it would be a little boy for Spike to do all the manly things with, like playing catch and he could teach how to play football.

Spike looked up at Buffy and saw a wistful smile on her face as her gaze was settled on them. It reminded him of his dream and sent chills down his spine. He didn't want anything to happen to Buffy, Dawn, or Amber. They were his girls and his life. His World.

Dawn got up from the stairs and walked over to Angel. Her hazel eyes were full of regret. He hated it when he saw any type of pain in her eyes no matter if it was small. Pain was pain it was that simple.

Willow, realizing the door was still opened, closed it and looked at Dawn and Angel. She motioned them into the living room to leave Buffy and Spike alone.

"I miss this," Spike said with a sad smile on his face.

Buffy snapped out of the image of Spike playing with a little boy with brown hair and resembling his handsome father.

"You miss what?" Buffy asked distant.

Stupid question, as she realized what he meant. He was talking about holding a baby to cradle. He lost the chance when Riley stormed into their bliss full lives and trampled it into the ground. She was thankful Riley was dead or she would have killed him with her bare heads.

"I missed being a new father," Spike whispered putting Amber on her feet. She scrambled into the living room and hoping next to Willow.

"Do you want another one?" Buffy asked bluntly.

Spike snapped his attention towards Buffy. The look of shock on his face that slowly transformed to a gentle smile as he looked back at her.

"I wasn't sure if I should bring it up," Spike said softly. "I've wanted another one since the moment Xander and Anya told us that they were having another one."

Buffy walked over to Spike and wrapped her arms around his neck. She pulled him to her in a slow and gentle kiss. But Spike, being the way he was, turned it into a heated and passionate one. His tongue danced with hers and he kissed her like he never kissed her before. He was tasting her and yearning for her.  He expressed it in his kiss.

Buffy pulled back to catch her breath. His arms slid around her and he drew her close. He was still panting as he laid his forehead against hers.  His deep penetrating blue eyes stared at her intently.

"So, when should we start trying?" Spike asked softly.

Buffy calculated her cycle and counted her fetal days. She realized now was the best time then ever to start trying.

"Hey, Will," Buffy said turning her head to look at the read. "Would you take Amber for the day? I have things to do."

Willow eyed the couple suspiciously and rolled her eyes knowing exactly what they were doing. They wanted their 'alone time'. For who knows how long they would be at the 'alone time'. So she agreed and scurried everyone out of the house. She tossed a blanket at Angel so he could leave the house.

Once everyone left, Spike and Buffy didn't waste a second. They raced up the stairs as they discarded their clothes and fell on the bed to make love endlessly.

Willow sighed as she looked at, what seemed to be the hundredth bridal magazine. Dawn was taking this wedding thing seriously. Of course, she didn't blame her. She was still amazed how Dawn had changed since that horrible and joyous year. She had to remind herself that Dawn was acting like any twenty-two year old woman who was a bride to be.

Angel sat in the green over stuffed chair sound asleep with Amber curled up in his lap sleeping. He was slightly snoring. HE WAS SNORING!

Willow looked alarmed at Angel then looked over at Dawn. She seemed fixated writing down several types of dresses. She had four pages worth all ready and she was determined for more.

"You did the spell didn't you?" Willow whispered harshly.

Dawn looked over at her alarmed. Her eyes were big and her mouth was a gaped.

"No," Dawn answered. "After I did the spell, I had brought it back and I lost it. I thought there was no hope for Angel."

"Well then why is Angel snoring?" Willow asked.

Dawn looked over at Angel as she watched him intently. Her eyes grew wide as his chest raised and fell in a slight motion. She swallowed the lump in her throat and got up from the green leather couch. She walked over to him and placed her hand over his heart. Tears began to well in her eyes as she felt his heart beat.

"I can't believe this," Dawn whispered. "Angel is really alive."

Buffy snuggled close in Spike's arms. She was right. The man had not lost his edge. He still could recover in unremarkable speed. She couldn't help, but wonder if it was the vampire part of him that still existed in him.

"Bloody hell, pet," Spike groaned. "I swear I thought you were going to kill me at least a dozen times."

"Well it would have been a hell of a way to go," Buffy joked.

Spike chuckled and kissed her on the head. He loved this woman more emotion than his heart could hold. He couldn't help, but feel his body drawn to her since the moment he saw her dancing in the Bronze.

"Lately, Spike, my mind keeps drifting to the day you proposed to me," Buffy said distantly as her mind drifted to the moment she saw his joy pass through his face when he saw her.

Spike kept quiet to let Buffy speak her mind. She knew when she had something on her mind she needed to get it out.

"I remember my heart swelling with love when she told me that you kept going back to the night trying to save me. I think the moment when I really truly fell in love with you was when I found out you let glory beat you to a pulp. I couldn't believe that anyone would care enough or be stupid enough to let someone torture them that much. Riley and Angel would have given up after an hour, but you just kept it in," Buffy continued.

"Well, love, there is a difference between them and I," Spike said putting his chin on her head. "I love you more than my own life. Plus, I would never leave your side."

"Well that a good…"

The phone ringing interrupted the nice silence of the house. Buffy sighed and pushed the covers off. She didn't even bother with the robe. She raced through the hallway and down the stairs to the living room to answer the phone naked.

"Hello?" Buffy said out of breath.

"Buffy, it's Will," Willow said on the other line. "Something freaky has happened. Angel is alive. He is still sleeping right now, but Dawnie and I realized he was snoring."

"What's so freaky about that?" Buffy asked. "Angel always snored."

"No, he's breathing and he has a heart beat," Willow pressured. "He's human, Buffy and none of us did the spell."

"That means someone else knew about the spell," Buffy guessed slowly. "Oh great with the Drusilla in town this really can't be a good sign."

"I don't like this," Willow said concerned. "I don't like this one bit."

Buffy sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. Her head was pounding and she was still a little achy from the intense lovemaking. She wasn't in the mood for something like this. She just wanted to be alone with Spike and have a blissful day.

"Neither do I, but there isn't anything we can do," Buffy said. "Look, I'll patrol tonight since Angel is human now, and I don't know if Spike still has his vampire strength."

"You mean you haven't been testing him out for the past four hours," Willow teased.

"It's been four hours!" Buffy exclaimed. "I thought it had only been two. I mean we just…never mind. I'm sure you don't want to hear the details."

"Thank you for sparing what clean brain I had left," Willow said softly. "I won't contact you again unless it's an emergency. I promise, I'll call Xander and tell him not to phone you."

"Thanks, Will," Buffy thanked. "Now get off the phone so I can rush back to Spike."

"Ok little miss sassy pants."

"I'm not wearing clothes, Will."

"Ok too much information, Buffy. Goodbye."

"Bye, Will."

Buffy hung up the phone and raced back up the steps. She was disappointed when she saw Spike wasn't in bed. She started pouting and she sat down on the bed. She stared at her nightstand and saw her necklace with her wedding ring and engagement ring. Then it hit her. Spike hadn't been wearing his wedding ring.

"Spike," Buffy called.

He walked out of the bathroom in his naked glory in front of her. Her eyes drifted to his right hand. She was right his wedding and wasn't on his hand.

"What's wrong, love?" Spike asked.

"Your wedding band," Buffy said simply.

"What about it?"

"It's gone."

"What?"

"You aren't wearing your wedding band."

Spike's eyes drifted to his hand and his eyes grew wide. He cursed and looked over at Buffy. She had her rings in her hand.

"Wanna buy other ones?" Spike asked.

"What!? No!" Buffy said jumping up from the bed. "Those were our original wedding rings. You gave it to me before Amber was born. I adore these wedding rings. Nothing ever could replace them."

 "Easy, pet," Spike said walking over to Buffy. He rubbed her shoulder and kissed her forehead.

"I might as well be a poof about this. Will you remarry me, Buffy?"

"You're joking," Buffy said staring at him stunned.

"I'm deadly serious," Spike answered. "We haven't really had much of a marriage before captain cardboard came in and ruined it. I want to renew our wedding vows and make sure nothing ever comes between us and our semi-blissful and normal life."

"I don't know if…"

"Don't bloody tell me, you don't feel the way you used to."

"Of course, I do! I love you more then anything. I was pain for five long miserable years finding out that the man I thought was dead, was actually alive and wondering around this earth."

"Well, pet, I'm sorry if I had no sodding idea who I was. Why are you so hesitant?

Buffy looked at Spike with her green eyes full of tears. Her chin was quivering and when she closed her eyes a tear trickled down her cheek.

"Because if we get remarried someone will come in and take you away from me again. I can't handle losing you again."

"Buffy, love, you can't lose me. I will find my way back to you. No matter how long I will be away I will always end up back with you."

She licked her lips and leaned up. He captured her face his hands and he kissed her. His hands drifted from her face to her arms and he pulled her closer.

"Willow, do you think Spike will go dress shopping with me tomorrow?" Dawn asked looking up from a boom she was reading.

Willow was so happy when Dawn decided to put away the bridal magazines and actually got out something more literary to read. Amber was wide awake now and coloring in some coloring books at the kitchen table. Tara was in the kitchen with Amber making dinner for everyone.

"I don't think so, Dawn," Willow answered carrying out a laundry basket full of unfolded clothes and towels.

"Why not?" Dawn asked.

"Because, He's a guy," Willow answered. "You know men. They hate shopping. They just stick it out because of us girls."

"Oh," Dawn said disappointedly. "I'm going to ask Spike to walk me down the aisle."

"WHAT!" Willow exclaimed.

"He's like the brother I never had and I figure he would be honored," Dawn explained.

"What about Giles?" Willow asked. "He was looking forward to walking you down the aisle. I think he thinks since now he's a part of the family that he would be the one to do it."

"Well, I had my heart set on Spike because he kind of like a father to me," Dawn said sheepishly. "I love Giles as a father too." She added.

"Dawnie, Spike is Angel's best man," Willow explained. "The groom's best man can't walk you down the aisle. Plus, Giles really needs this right now. He's been kind of in the mope world lately. I think he feels really old and useless right now."

"Maybe, we should set him up with a nice woman," Dawn suggested. "That way he could have a nice love life with and be less of a mope."

"But do we know any nice woman in their forties or fifties?" Willow asked.

Buffy awoke when she heard the door close. She sat up and looked over at the clock. It was only eight o'clock. She sighed and threw on her robe. She looked over at Spike and smiled. He really did look like an angel, but he snored, like he was now, it made her giggle. He was cute when he snored.

"Buffy? Spike? Dawn?" a voice called.

Buffy stiffened when she heard the voice. It was so familiar, but it couldn't be who she thought it was. She reached over and pushed Spike off the bed. She knew it wouldn't wake him up if she shook him so she had decided on something more dramatic.

"Bloody Hell, love!" Spike groaned looking over the bed at her. He looked incredibly tired. He pulled himself up with the help of the bed.

"Spike? Buffy? Is anyone home?" The voice called again.

He looked over at them door then at Buffy. He grabbed his pajama pants and threw them on. He grabbed Buffy's hand and headed out of the room.

"Is someone here?" the voice called again.

Spike crept down the stairs and stopped abruptly, causing Buffy to run into him.  There were footsteps coming out of the kitchen and he saw a shadow. Both of them still as they saw the person emerge from the dining room and look at them. The person smiled.

Buffy gripped onto Spike so she wouldn't pass out. He wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Well there you two are," The person said with the smile on their face. "I guess I was interrupting something important."

Dawn about jumped out of her skin when she heard Willow's phone ring. Tara raced into the living room from the kitchen with a towel in her hand. She picked it up and answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Glenda," Spike said on the other line.

"Oh hi Spike," Tara greeted. "Is something wrong?"

"No nothing is wrong," Spike answered. "I just need everyone to meet back at my place. We have a little surprised for them."

"Is it an emergency?"

"No. Like I said nothing is wrong, but trust me you guys would want to see who paid a visit."

"All right, Spike."

She said goodbye to Spike and hung up the phone. She looked over at Dawn and sighed.

"There is a scooby meeting tonight," Tara explained. "Spike says there is this big surprise at the house."

Dawn booked marked her book and sighed. Something was definitely wrong when Spike calls a scooby meeting during his romping time with Buffy.

Dawn walked into the house holding Amber's hand. Amber was extra sleepy and was rubbing her eyes. Angel rubbed Dawn's back as they walked into the living room the stopped. Her eyes went wide and her breath was caught in her throat. Buffy was sitting next to Spike cuddled in his arms sobbing. To her guess sobbing with joy.

"Mom?" Dawn asked faintly.

Joyce turned and smiled at Dawn. Her eyes drifted down towards Amber. Amber looked frightened at the old woman and ran to Spike and Buffy. Spike scooped her up and held her on his lap.

"Hey gang-a-roos, so what so…merciful Zeus!" Xander said standing behind Dawn. It wasn't long before the whole scooby gang stood into the living room staring at Joyce in shock.

Giles pushed through the stunned scoobies and walked towards Joyce. She walked towards him and threw her arms around him. They embraced and then Giles kissed her.
