Chapter Twelve: The Big Day
It was 10:45 in the morning and Buffy burst out her room screaming and running down the stairs into the lobby "Woohoo I'm getting married today." Buffy screamed as she ran around, then she looked up the stairs to see Faith coming down the stairs with a video camera
"FAITH, Faith, I'm getting married today." Buffy shouted at her friend coming down the stairs
She saw Faith with the video camera, Faith started towards her with the camera in her face ["What is this,"] She asked smiling and pointing at the camera
["It's a camera B, so, it's the big day wanna say a few words."] Faith said from behind the camera
["Ok, umn hi my name is Buffy..."]
["I think they know your name B."] Faith said
["Oh yeah ok, I am very happy at the moment as I'm am marrying a gorgeous, amazing, adorable guy and I love him very much, and today, I'm gonna show him how much."] Buffy hopped away towards the front desk
Faith followed Buffy with the camera as she grabbed the phone, ["Hey what you doing?]" Faith said again from behind the camera as there the camera view of Buffy picking up the phone
["I'm calling Spike"] Buffy said as she began to dial
["Err no you're not,"] Faith said grabbing the phone and hanging up
["Hey"] Buffy shrieked
["B, you only saw him a few hours ago, you are marrying him in a few hours and if you call him he will just run round here, so can you wait."]
Faith said pointing the camera at her
["No"] She said pouting and getting up and walking to the kitchen humming happily.
Faith turned the camera round and talked straight into the lens
["See what I have to put up with from you B, hope you know what your in for Spike."] Faith said before she turned her head to the sound of Buffys voice
"Faith, were is my ketchup." Buffy yelled
["I didn't buy any."] Faith said smiling and winking into the camera
"WHAT!!!!" She shrieked
["I'm kidding B, it's in the top cupboard."]
Faith turned the camera around and led into the kitchen Faith chuckled as she pointed the camera at Buffy drinking a bottle of ketchup with big red dribbles of ketchup down her chin. ["Now that's a sight you don't wanna see every day, huh."]
Buffy saw Faith and realised she still had the camera ["FAITH!!!!"] Was all she said before Faith cut off the camera.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Morning Peaches." Spike said as he practically skipped down the stairs with a big smile on his face
"Morning Spike, you look freakishly happy." Angel said turning his camera on and pointing it at Spike
["Well why shouldn't I be mate, today the happiest day of my life in it, and what are you sticking that thing in my face for."] He said pointing at the camera
["Well I don't know if things have changed since I used one of these but it looks like I'm filming you, now do you want to tell the nice little camera why you are so happy"] Angel said sarcastically
["Alright then, gel king I am happy and by the way happy is an understatement, because today I am going to marry the woman of my dreams, simple as that I can't even begin to tell you how much I love her and today I'm going to show her how much."] Spike said as he basically skipped into the kitchen and grabbed the phone
Angel followed him with the camera; ["What are you doing."] Angel said from behind the camera as he watched Spike dial the phone
["What does it look like I'm doing, I'm calling Buffy."] He said, Angel walked up to him and grabbed the phone and hung up
["What the bloody hell do you think you are doing?"] Spike said to him as Angel still had the camera pointing at him
["Spike, your marrying the woman soon, you don't need to call her, and any way if you call her you will talk then you will go 'I love you Buffy' and she will go 'I love you Spike' and then you will run over there and kiss her and then she will get mad at you for seeing her before the wedding with that bad luck thing she keeps going on about so why don't you sit down and eat."] Angel said shoving Spike into the stool on the island in the middle of the kitchen and moving to grab some cereal out of the cupboard, he pause once he got there and looked over his shoulder to see Spike shaking his head and reading the paper, Angel turned round the camera and looked straight in to the lens
["Well Buffy, you really gonna marry this one, wow your in for a annoying life aint ya."] He said smiling in to the camera then turned the camera back round once he heard Spike voice
["HEY I HEARD THAT YOU POOF."] Spike yelled before Angel shut of the camera
*~*~*~*~*
It was now half an hour before the wedding and Spike and Angel were putting the finishing touches on their suits as Angel continued to film Spike ["Nervous?"] Angel asked from behind the camera, as Spike adjusted his tie
["Terrified, excited, blissful happy all rolled in to one mate,"] Spike answered, as he finally did his tie
["Your terrified, why, "] Angel asked as Spike grabbed his jacket and put it on in front of the mirror
["Mainly that something is gonna go wrong, and that Buffy wont be happy."] Spike said briefly looking at Angel
["Don't worry Spike, it will go fine, have you got your vows ready"]
["All in 'ere mate,"] Spike he said pointing to his head.
Angel followed the camera around the room which lay lots of bottles of ketchup
["Buffy still on this ketchup thing."] Angel asked as he lay the camera back on Spike
["Yeah, that's all she eats and drinks, it hilariously disgusting actually"] Spike said chuckling as he finished dusting of and straightening his jacket
["Yeah, you love her though,"] Angel said.
["Yep nothing in this world would change that."] Spike said stepping away from the mirror and face Angel with the camera. ["How do I look"] He said extending his arms for Angel to examine his suit
["You look ok I suppose."] Angel said from still behind the camera
Spike slapped his hands back down to his sides
["See now if it was you I was marrying and trying to impress that would hurt my ego."]
["Well your lucky that your marrying Buffy and by the way I think she'll be impressed."]
["You think so"] Spike said tugging his jacket with a smirk on his face
["Yeah sure, hey why don't you tell the camera how you feel about Buffy in five words or less."]
["All right then, I-love-you-Buffy-with-all-my-heart."]
["That wasn't five words you idiot."] Angel said
["Sod off its my wedding day and I can use how many words I like."]
["Fine, whatever"]
["Your not losing that camera anytime soon are you."] Spike said facing him again
["No, hey what you doing?"] Angel said as Spikes reached for the camera
["I'm taking it off you, what do you think I'm doing"] Spike said as Angel started to back up as Spike advanced on him reaching for he camera
["Hey get away from me"] Angel said as he started to back up really fast, almost running
All of a sudden Spike grabbed one of Buffys ketchup bottles opened it and held it up ready to through it on Angel
["Hey now put that down, its Buffys she'll kill you if you waste it"] Angel said still backing away
["I have to buy Buffy ketchup everyday, she got tons she wont miss one, but you won't get it all over your head if you turn it off,"] Spike said still advancing on Angel
["Ok its gone."] Angel said putting the camera down and waiting for Spike to put the ketchup down
["Right then. Let's get this show on the road."] Spike said as he walked towards the door.
As Spike got to the door Angel grabbed the camera and pointed it back at Spike, Spike then whirled back round to face the camera
["Oh bloody hell, you've got the ring, right?"] Spike asked
["Yes Spike I've got the ring, lets go."] Angel said pushing him out the door
*~*~*~*~*~
Buffy stood in Faith and Angels room fiddling with her fingers
["Oh my god, I feel funny, its like I'm nervous but excited at the same time, you know like when your about to go on a really big roller coaster, that feeling you get right when your about to get on it."] Buffy said as Willow helped her with her dress. Dawn was helping Willow button up the dress Faith sat across the room pointing the camera, she sat one a chair with one leg draped across the side
["Buffy stop wriggling."] Willow said as she adjusted Buffys dress
["Sorry, I'm just so excited, I can't believe I'm getting married."] She said
["But you happy right."] Willow said
["There is no words that can describe how much I love him, so to answer your question Willow yes I'm happy, very happy, the happiest."]
Buffy then glanced over at Faith who just sat there doing nothing ["Hey there maid of honour girl, are you comfy sitting there doing bugger all"] Everyone stopped and looked at Buffy ["God I'm even starting to talk him aren't I"] Buffy said to them as she watched them nod
["I think we're done lets take a look at you." Willow said as her and Dawn stepped back to admire Buffy, Willow stood by Faith reaching down and lifting her up by her arm
["Oh wow."] Dawn gasped
["You can say that again."] Willow said
["Oh wow."] Dawn repeated
["B you look great.] Faith said from behind the camera ["I think Spike might have a heart attack."]
["Oh don't say that, knowing my luck he will actually have a heart attack."] She said as she turned herself around as admired herself in the mirror
["Don't sweat it B everything will go just great, you'll see."]
["Ooo I'm so excited, I wanna talk to Spike,"] Everyone gave Buffy a no look seeing as she'd been saying she wants to talk to Spike for hours ["Ok I wont talk to Spike,"] She then looked at Faith ["Hey Faith is Spike gonna see this?"]
["Yeah why?"] She said as Buffy advanced on her, grabbed the camera and looked straight in to the lens
["I love you Spike."] And with that she gave the lens a big kiss and handed it back to Faith
["Ugh thanks a lot B."] Faith said wiping off the lens as Willow and Dawn giggled
["Ok are we ready,"] Willow said, in responded everybody nodded
["Ok Dawn go and see if Spike and Angel are here."] Dawn nodded and headed out the door ["And I'll go and find Giles."] Willow said before going out the door and leaving Faith and Buffy Faith stood there pointing the camera in Buffys face ["Are you gonna carry that around all day."] She said pointing at the camera
["Pretty much, so B how you feeling now that we're only a few minutes from the big 'I do'."]
Buffy took a deep breath ["I feel like my hearts gonna explode."] She said with tears in her eyes
["Hey why you crying."] Faith asked her
["Just from the thought of spending the rest of my life with the man I love."] She said before smiling at Faith
["Hey your not supposed to be making me cry, you'll mess up my make up."] She said sniffling trying to hold back unshed tears Faith just chuckled as Dawn burst back into the room
["They're here, they're here."] Dawn shrieked
["Ok lets do this."] Buffy said as stepped out and met Giles on the landing she linked arms with him and they walked down the stairs, all of a sudden Buffy stopped and turned round to Faith
["Have you got the..."]
["Yes I've got the ring stop asking me that,"] Faith said showing her the ring Buffy smiled at her and carried on walking down the stairs
*~*~*~*~
Spike and Angel headed to the front greeting the guests on the way Once they got to the top Angel handed his camera over to Xander "You ready for this." Angel said patting Spike on the back
"Spending my life with Buffy, always ready for that." Spike said with a grin Spike then turned to Angel
"Have you got the ring?" Spike said panicked
"Would you stop asking me that already, I've got the..." Angel said patting his coat pockets with a worried look on his face
"What, don't tell me you've lost the ring Angel oh my god you've lost the ring haven't you, I'll rip your head off if..." Before Spike could finish his rambling Angel pulled out the ring with a grin on his face
"That wasn't funny mate" He said to Angel with a scowl
"Actually, it looked funny from over here, nice going deadboy." Xander said pointing the camera at them and chuckling slightly
"Shut up Harris, you know seeing as this is my wedding day you too should be trying to relax me." Spike said to the with his hands on his hands on his hips
"I know but its more fun seeing you like this." Xander said
All of a sudden Kennedy came running up "You guys ready." She said bluntly
"Yeah," Spike simply said taking a deep breath as Kennedy ran back inside and shouted ready before taking her seat
The justice, an older man with greying hair and green eyes, gave the signal for the pianist they had hired to start.
A few seconds after the music started, Dawn emerged from the hotel. She had long silk red dress on with spaghetti straps, she had her hair slightly curls Baby roses had been delicately placed in her dark hair, and she carried a small basket of flowers.
Next came Willow, her dress the same as the other women's, with a spray of baby's breath crowning her vivid hair. Her eyes locked with Kennedy and she moved directly to the front to join Dawn, Spike, Angel and Xander.
Then Faith came down with a similar dress to Dawn and Willow except for the low cut chest, Faiths hair was also slightly curled and a single white rose slipped in just above her right ear and she also held red and white roses, Faiths eyes were locked with Angels all the way down, she had to hold back a laugh when we winked at her, once she reached the top she patted Spikes shoulder and took her place next to Willow. As soon as she was in place, the bridal march started.
Spike's eyes never left the hotel door, his breath coming out in a whoosh when she appeared. Spike was speechless. He thought his heart was gonna jump out of his chest as never in his life had he ever seen anything more beautiful. Her milky white gown graced the floor past her feet the satin and sparkling layers engulfed her. It was low-cut and had silky sleeves that just came off her shoulders. Her hair hung in gold ringlets around her flushed face, and small white flowers woven throughout. Her eyes were covered in smokey eyeliner and frosty white shadow. Her rosy cheeks were perfectly rouged and her lips were pale pink and glossy. In her hands she held a bouquet of white roses, To Spike she looked like an angel.
Their eyes never left each other's as she made her way to him. The other people in the room melted away, leaving only them, ready to make their vow of forever.
"Wow you look...wow," he breathed when she reached him. Her skin tinged a pretty red,
"You look wow too," she told him, before the justice started the ceremony.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the coming together of two people in the bonds of matrimony." It seemed that neither of them breathed while they listened, waiting for the time when they could proclaim their devotion to each other in front of all their friends.
"Buffy and William are now going to recite their own vows" The justice said signalling for Spike to go first
Spike held Buffys hands in his own and as soon as they looked into each others eyes, they filled with unshed tears
"Buffy I love you. You are my sun, my Heaven, my warrior. You are so beautiful, and I don't just mean on the outside but on the inside. You are so full of passion. When I look at you I see a blonde goddess with a big heart that is so full of love. And whenever you smile it could light up the entire world,. You're all I live for and all I want to live for. I cherish every part of you, and I promise with all my heart to never leave your side, to be your friend, your lover, your partner for all my days and thereafter, you're my fire and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."
By now Buffy was crying, Spike wiped away a tear with his thumb as she smiled The justice looked at Buffy for her to go
"Spike, baby I love you more than anything in this world, you're my everything, you're my heart, you're my soul, you make me feel complete and free. All you have to do is hold me or I'll look into those beautiful blue eyes and I'll know that everything is going to be ok. I'll never have enough time to show you how much I love you. And I can't wait for our baby to know what an amazing man his father really is."
She said placing his hand on her stomach, feeling him kick, Spike by now was shedding his own tears as Buffy looked up at his smiling face as she still cried, they reached for each other and embrace whispering 'I love you's' in each others ears, when the parted they still held hand as the justice carried on
"William, please place the ring on her finger"
"Do you, William, take Buffy to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Buffy. Place the ring on his finger." Buffy slid the ring over his finger her eyes never wavering from his.
"Do you, Buffy, take William to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do."
"Then, by the power vested in me, by the state of California. I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss your bride," the justice told him. Spike's smile stole her breath away as he reached for her, slowly pulling her to him. Their eyes drifted closed in the instant before their lips met, the cheers and laughs of their friends never penetrating their consciousness as they shared their first kiss as husband and wife.
"Ladies and gentlemen I present you with Mr and Mrs William Crawford" The justice announced
*~*~*~*~
After everyone congratulated Buffy and Spike, Spike led them out to the front of the hotel,
"What are we doing out here Mr.Crawford?" Buffy said linking her arms around his neck gazing up into his eyes
"Well, Mrs. Crawford I've got kind of a surprise for you." He said grabbing her hand and pulling her towards Faiths car.
"You're giving me Faiths car, yay." Buffy said admiring the cute sports car
"No, but were are borrowing it." He said walking over to the passenger side and opening it
"Wait, Spike this is the kind of borrowing she knows about right." Buffy said before Spike nodded and she climbed in
As Spike climbed in the drivers side he reached over and grabbed a big bunch of red and white flowers that where the colours of Buffy wedding bouquet and handed them to her
"Read the card." He said simply as he watch her face fill with confusion
The card simply said,
Dearest Joyce,
Wish you were here on
Our happy day
All our love
Buffy and Spike
Buffy lifted her head with tears in her eyes as Spike started the engine "We are paying an old friend a visit." Spike said "Sunnydale crater here we come luv." He said before he watch Buffy lean in a capture his lips in a kiss
"I love you." She said as a tear rolled down her cheek
"I love you too." He said wiping the tear way and kissing her forehead before the started to move heading to Sunnydale.
*~*~*~*~*
When Spike and Buffys car arrived at the crater the used to occupy the hellmouth the came to a halt as the dust settled around the car "You ready." Spike asked Buffy as he turned off the engine
"As I'll every be." She said taking a deep breath and unbuckling her seat belt and climbing out the car She watched as Spike climbed out the car and reach over to grab her hand as he held flowers in the other They walked to the edge of the crater hand in hand as Buffys wedding dress blew in the breeze as she tried to hold it up with the her free hand.
They had come to the Hell mouth to remember the old times, to throw in flowers foe the girls that died in the battle and more importantly to but special flowers down for Joyce who both Buffy and Spike wished could have been there to see them get married.
"Err hey mom, its me and Spike, we got married today, but you probably already knew that, I wish you could have been there, we brought you flowers," Buffy said as she turned to Spike to indicate him through in the flowers, he slowly knelt down and let the flower slid down the crater "I miss you mom." She said as tears started to come down her face, Spike saw her and wrapped a supportive arm around her and pulled her to his chest as she cried
*~*~*~*~*~
After a while Buffy and Spike sat on the front of the car looking out as the sun set in front of them, they had spent the time talking about old times form when he first saw her in the Bronze, to when he died and came back in the battle with the First. Then they talked through the bad things that had happened to and with them over the years then they talked about the future, and what they hoped for their son they even tried discussing names but the just ended up disagreeing on everything and decided to wait until he was born.
Once the sun had set he reached for her hand and they walked round the car still talking about how Spike would teach them to ride their bikes in the back yard.
"Ok then daddy, what about if we had a daughter, and she went out and found a nice guy and he came to you and wanted to take her out what would you..."
"I would rip his head off for even going near her." Spike said interrupting her
"What even if he really nice." She said looking up at him smiling
"No wanker out there will even come close to being good enough for my daughter," Spike said looking down as Buffy shook her head. "All right then missy what if a young girl, tall leggy, flirty with the guys, that sought of girl, wanted to be with our son would you like it."
Buffy thought about for a second "That is not fair I said a nice boy and your saying some slut bag girl," Spike just raised his eyebrows at her to answer the question
"Fine I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't rip her head off as you so nicely put it." She said as the climbed off the car and got inside to go home.
"Hey why can't I drive" Buffy asked as she put her seat belt on
"Because Faith's exacted words were 'do not let Buffy drive my car'."
"Ok fine, but one day, I will drive this baby" Buffy said stroking her hand on the dash board
"Of course you will luv" Spike said starting the engine as he knew Faith would never let Buffy near her car
*~*~*~*~
Riley walked into the room that Harmony was in, with a lot of vampires,
"Alright, the plan starts in a few hour, when she gets back, I've got someone out there to watch when the get back to L A it will be a couple of hours, does everybody know the plan," Riley said looking around at all of them as they nodded and then walked out the room
"What's his deal any way?" One of the vampires asked Harmony
"The guy is obsessed with Buffy and Spike, its kinda weird." She said sitting down
So there was the wedding it isn't over yet but I hope you like the vows and the dresses it took me a very long time to do this chapter
It was 10:45 in the morning and Buffy burst out her room screaming and running down the stairs into the lobby "Woohoo I'm getting married today." Buffy screamed as she ran around, then she looked up the stairs to see Faith coming down the stairs with a video camera

*~*~*~*~
Spike and Angel headed to the front greeting the guests on the way Once they got to the top Angel handed his camera over to Xander "You ready for this." Angel said patting Spike on the back
"Spending my life with Buffy, always ready for that." Spike said with a grin Spike then turned to Angel
"Have you got the ring?" Spike said panicked
"Would you stop asking me that already, I've got the..." Angel said patting his coat pockets with a worried look on his face
"What, don't tell me you've lost the ring Angel oh my god you've lost the ring haven't you, I'll rip your head off if..." Before Spike could finish his rambling Angel pulled out the ring with a grin on his face
"That wasn't funny mate" He said to Angel with a scowl
"Actually, it looked funny from over here, nice going deadboy." Xander said pointing the camera at them and chuckling slightly
"Shut up Harris, you know seeing as this is my wedding day you too should be trying to relax me." Spike said to the with his hands on his hands on his hips
"I know but its more fun seeing you like this." Xander said
All of a sudden Kennedy came running up "You guys ready." She said bluntly
"Yeah," Spike simply said taking a deep breath as Kennedy ran back inside and shouted ready before taking her seat
The justice, an older man with greying hair and green eyes, gave the signal for the pianist they had hired to start.
A few seconds after the music started, Dawn emerged from the hotel. She had long silk red dress on with spaghetti straps, she had her hair slightly curls Baby roses had been delicately placed in her dark hair, and she carried a small basket of flowers.
Next came Willow, her dress the same as the other women's, with a spray of baby's breath crowning her vivid hair. Her eyes locked with Kennedy and she moved directly to the front to join Dawn, Spike, Angel and Xander.
Then Faith came down with a similar dress to Dawn and Willow except for the low cut chest, Faiths hair was also slightly curled and a single white rose slipped in just above her right ear and she also held red and white roses, Faiths eyes were locked with Angels all the way down, she had to hold back a laugh when we winked at her, once she reached the top she patted Spikes shoulder and took her place next to Willow. As soon as she was in place, the bridal march started.
Spike's eyes never left the hotel door, his breath coming out in a whoosh when she appeared. Spike was speechless. He thought his heart was gonna jump out of his chest as never in his life had he ever seen anything more beautiful. Her milky white gown graced the floor past her feet the satin and sparkling layers engulfed her. It was low-cut and had silky sleeves that just came off her shoulders. Her hair hung in gold ringlets around her flushed face, and small white flowers woven throughout. Her eyes were covered in smokey eyeliner and frosty white shadow. Her rosy cheeks were perfectly rouged and her lips were pale pink and glossy. In her hands she held a bouquet of white roses, To Spike she looked like an angel.
Their eyes never left each other's as she made her way to him. The other people in the room melted away, leaving only them, ready to make their vow of forever.
"Wow you look...wow," he breathed when she reached him. Her skin tinged a pretty red,
"You look wow too," she told him, before the justice started the ceremony.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the coming together of two people in the bonds of matrimony." It seemed that neither of them breathed while they listened, waiting for the time when they could proclaim their devotion to each other in front of all their friends.
"Buffy and William are now going to recite their own vows" The justice said signalling for Spike to go first
Spike held Buffys hands in his own and as soon as they looked into each others eyes, they filled with unshed tears
"Buffy I love you. You are my sun, my Heaven, my warrior. You are so beautiful, and I don't just mean on the outside but on the inside. You are so full of passion. When I look at you I see a blonde goddess with a big heart that is so full of love. And whenever you smile it could light up the entire world,. You're all I live for and all I want to live for. I cherish every part of you, and I promise with all my heart to never leave your side, to be your friend, your lover, your partner for all my days and thereafter, you're my fire and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."
By now Buffy was crying, Spike wiped away a tear with his thumb as she smiled The justice looked at Buffy for her to go
"Spike, baby I love you more than anything in this world, you're my everything, you're my heart, you're my soul, you make me feel complete and free. All you have to do is hold me or I'll look into those beautiful blue eyes and I'll know that everything is going to be ok. I'll never have enough time to show you how much I love you. And I can't wait for our baby to know what an amazing man his father really is."
She said placing his hand on her stomach, feeling him kick, Spike by now was shedding his own tears as Buffy looked up at his smiling face as she still cried, they reached for each other and embrace whispering 'I love you's' in each others ears, when the parted they still held hand as the justice carried on
"William, please place the ring on her finger"
"Do you, William, take Buffy to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Buffy. Place the ring on his finger." Buffy slid the ring over his finger her eyes never wavering from his.
"Do you, Buffy, take William to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do."
"Then, by the power vested in me, by the state of California. I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss your bride," the justice told him. Spike's smile stole her breath away as he reached for her, slowly pulling her to him. Their eyes drifted closed in the instant before their lips met, the cheers and laughs of their friends never penetrating their consciousness as they shared their first kiss as husband and wife.
"Ladies and gentlemen I present you with Mr and Mrs William Crawford" The justice announced
*~*~*~*~
After everyone congratulated Buffy and Spike, Spike led them out to the front of the hotel,
"What are we doing out here Mr.Crawford?" Buffy said linking her arms around his neck gazing up into his eyes
"Well, Mrs. Crawford I've got kind of a surprise for you." He said grabbing her hand and pulling her towards Faiths car.
"You're giving me Faiths car, yay." Buffy said admiring the cute sports car
"No, but were are borrowing it." He said walking over to the passenger side and opening it
"Wait, Spike this is the kind of borrowing she knows about right." Buffy said before Spike nodded and she climbed in
As Spike climbed in the drivers side he reached over and grabbed a big bunch of red and white flowers that where the colours of Buffy wedding bouquet and handed them to her
"Read the card." He said simply as he watch her face fill with confusion
The card simply said,
Dearest Joyce,
Wish you were here on
Our happy day
All our love
Buffy and Spike
Buffy lifted her head with tears in her eyes as Spike started the engine "We are paying an old friend a visit." Spike said "Sunnydale crater here we come luv." He said before he watch Buffy lean in a capture his lips in a kiss
"I love you." She said as a tear rolled down her cheek
"I love you too." He said wiping the tear way and kissing her forehead before the started to move heading to Sunnydale.
*~*~*~*~*
When Spike and Buffys car arrived at the crater the used to occupy the hellmouth the came to a halt as the dust settled around the car "You ready." Spike asked Buffy as he turned off the engine
"As I'll every be." She said taking a deep breath and unbuckling her seat belt and climbing out the car She watched as Spike climbed out the car and reach over to grab her hand as he held flowers in the other They walked to the edge of the crater hand in hand as Buffys wedding dress blew in the breeze as she tried to hold it up with the her free hand.
They had come to the Hell mouth to remember the old times, to throw in flowers foe the girls that died in the battle and more importantly to but special flowers down for Joyce who both Buffy and Spike wished could have been there to see them get married.
"Err hey mom, its me and Spike, we got married today, but you probably already knew that, I wish you could have been there, we brought you flowers," Buffy said as she turned to Spike to indicate him through in the flowers, he slowly knelt down and let the flower slid down the crater "I miss you mom." She said as tears started to come down her face, Spike saw her and wrapped a supportive arm around her and pulled her to his chest as she cried
*~*~*~*~*~
After a while Buffy and Spike sat on the front of the car looking out as the sun set in front of them, they had spent the time talking about old times form when he first saw her in the Bronze, to when he died and came back in the battle with the First. Then they talked through the bad things that had happened to and with them over the years then they talked about the future, and what they hoped for their son they even tried discussing names but the just ended up disagreeing on everything and decided to wait until he was born.
Once the sun had set he reached for her hand and they walked round the car still talking about how Spike would teach them to ride their bikes in the back yard.
"Ok then daddy, what about if we had a daughter, and she went out and found a nice guy and he came to you and wanted to take her out what would you..."
"I would rip his head off for even going near her." Spike said interrupting her
"What even if he really nice." She said looking up at him smiling
"No wanker out there will even come close to being good enough for my daughter," Spike said looking down as Buffy shook her head. "All right then missy what if a young girl, tall leggy, flirty with the guys, that sought of girl, wanted to be with our son would you like it."
Buffy thought about for a second "That is not fair I said a nice boy and your saying some slut bag girl," Spike just raised his eyebrows at her to answer the question
"Fine I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't rip her head off as you so nicely put it." She said as the climbed off the car and got inside to go home.
"Hey why can't I drive" Buffy asked as she put her seat belt on
"Because Faith's exacted words were 'do not let Buffy drive my car'."
"Ok fine, but one day, I will drive this baby" Buffy said stroking her hand on the dash board
"Of course you will luv" Spike said starting the engine as he knew Faith would never let Buffy near her car
