None of them are mine, all belongs to Joss and ME.
Sunsets
Upon returning to their room Buffy and Spike began the task of preparing for the road trip in front of them. After packing most everything Buffy felt the need for a shower. She needed to relieve some tension and had a plan in mind.
Sitting in the bathroom on the closed toilet lid, Spike read through the directions of the test through the steam of Buffy's shower.
'Seems simple enough'
"You know, you could come in here and join me." Buffy lathered herself up slowly trying to draw him in.
"Now Pet, that's what got us into this little situation in'it." Eyes fixed on the test. Knowing full well if he even so much as looked in that shower he'd be in there consequences be damned.
"Spike, what's done is done. Come on."
"Pet we need to know and we can't find out for another 4 days."
"I bought a box of condoms. They were in the bag with the test."
"I'm not wearing one of those things. They pinch."
"Then come in here without." She was getting frustrated now. There was no way he was going to make her wait 4 days before he touched her again.
"We talked about this on the way back here. If your not pregnant then we need to wait."
"You said wait. I said condoms. Besides, would it really be that bad if we were going to have a baby?"
She was serious? She wanted to have his baby? He looked up at her, standing halfway behind the shower curtain, soapy and wet. Why is it she could make him forget all reason? 'sod it' his pants hit the floor as he climbed in the shower.
"Knew I could get you in here." Buffy grinned up at him while her hands began at his chest and lathered their way downward and sliding around him to his behind. He wrapped his arms around her, leaning down for a kiss.
"You can have me anywhere.' Deepening the kiss his hands cupped either side of her face. "You sure about this pet? I mean, once we go there. .."
"Don't want to ever come back. I love you. I'm not chosen 'one' anymore. I can have a life. I've been thinking about this all day and I can't imagine anything better than a little us running around under our feet." She leaned up for another kiss only breaking apart when the need for oxygen became evident.
Hands resting at his lower back she nuzzled his neck as something hard brushed up against her tummy. Backing them up into the water spray she rinsed the suds from said hardness and slowly kissed her way down his chest, his stomach and licked the tip making it jump and Spike inhaled sharply. A moan escaped him. He gripped the towel bar to steady himself. Glancing up she could see Spike looking at her, need filling his eyes. The shower was becoming one of his favorite places.

Hair still wet, towel draped across his neck, wearing only his sweat pants, Xander moved the pillows then the cushions of the couch. Scratching his head he finally gave up.
"Wil, have you packed my socks already?" Xander was certain he had left a pair on the couch to put on after his shower.
"Yep, already packed." Willow looked at him wondering why he seemed so stressed.
"Did you get the pair that were in here on the couch? The brown ones?"
"I'm sorry, I'll go get them." Disappearing into the other room, she soon returned with the socks she had found on the arm of the couch earlier.
"You know, if somebody didn't know any better, they'd think you two were an old married couple." Dawn teased standing in the doorway where she had been watching the two.
""Wil was just stealing my socks," Xander joked
"Yeah, it was for my collection of special Xander items. Dawnie have you packed yet? We'll be leaving in a couple of hours."
"I've started, I need to talk to Buffy first. Did she or Spike call while I was down at the pool?"
"Nope, not a peep. They're probably packing up themselves.:
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x. x.x.x.
"Buffy, the phone's for you. It's Nibblet. She's coming Bit, hang on." Handing the phone over to a still wet Buffy, his t-shirt clinging to her showing all of her curves.
"Hey, what's up? We'll be down at 4 o'clock."
"I just wanted to ask if you had thought anymore about what we had talked about."
"Yes, we talked it over and I agree with Spike, maybe you are old enough to make your own choices. We're going to make a stop off in LA tomorrow, why don't you call Andrew and see if he can fly out tonight. We'll pick him up at the airport and if all goes well you can fly back with him when we go on to Modesto. Ok?"
"Oh, thank you so much! You're the greatest! " Dawn was bubbling as she hung up the phone.
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x. x.x.x.
Laying across the bed a fully dressed Spike was staring at the ceiling wondering how long it could possibly take to prepare for a road trip. They weren't going anywhere special. Hell, with the exception of the stop over in LA they probably wouldn't see another person, but having known women for over a century he knew better than to say that outloud. Most of it.
"Slayer! Come on. We were supposed to meet your chums in the lobby 20 minutes ago. He half sat up looking toward the bathroom door.
"I'll be out in a minute"
Bloody hell. He was gonna get blamed for this. He knew it. Some how things like this always ended up being his fault.
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x. x.x.x.
"It's Spikes fault. He's had her up there doing god knows what and. ." Xander really didn't want to finish that thought.
"It's not his fault. I called their room. He's waiting on Buffy." Dawn defended.
"Well, I'm sure he had a hand in what's taking her so long." Xander mumbled to himself.
.............................
"We're here. You guys ready." An out of breath Buffy called from the elevator doors.
"Yep, we have munchies, road music, and the car is all packed except for your bags." Xander reached for Buffy's and motioned for Spike to bring his himself.
"Okay, who sits where? And who's driving first shift?" Dawn was still hopeful of getting to drive at least a small part of this trip. She needed the practice.
"I'll drive first. Luv, you can sit up front with me. I want to catch a sunset. Haven't seen one of those in a few years." Spike volunteered.
He so wanted to chance to watch the sun set with Buffy. He'd been alive for 3 days and they had yet to watch a sunset or sunrise together They had spent that particular time of day involved in other activities. Besides, he thought it might help him get on Xander's better side if he didn't have to do all the driving this time. He still didn't care what the whelp thought, but he wanted things to work out, Buffy didn't need the stress of having to referee the two of them.
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x. x.x.x.
Three hours later Dawn, Xander and Willow sat in the back seat, three headsets plugged into one of those adapters, listening to the latest CD Dawn had found at their last stop. Except for the occasional times when Xander would belt out a line or two, the ride had become quiet. One hand on the wheel, the other in Buffy's lap held between her two hands.
"I've never really watched a sunset, I mean I've always waited til it was dark to go out patrolling and I never really gave much thought to them before." Remember what he'd said when volunteering to drive first.
"I had never really given them much thought myself until I was turned and then it was too late. I could remember what they were like for a while, but the memories faded and they didn't really seem to matter so much anymore."
"We'll just have to make it a new tradition. Sunrises and sunsets we do together from now on." She smiled at him and he grinned her way and looked back at the road in front of them.
"Sounds like a plan luv."
"Not trying to change the subject, but we're getting closer and I can't help but be a little concerned. Tell me again why we need to stop in on Angel? I thought you hated him and I know he hates you."
"Just a few things I need to tell him about and I need to pick something up that he's been holding for me. I'm not goin' there to pick a fight with peaches." Patting her hand he pointed in front of them.
"That's a beautiful thing in'it." The sunset was a perfect blend of oranges, yellows and reds across an almost purple sky.
There was a rest stop ahead, Spike pulled in and he and Buffy got out, hand in hand they strolled to the benches and sat together, her head on his shoulder, his head resting on hers. This was what he had given up heaven for. It was so worth it.
