Chapter Forty: Me and my son
Buffy woke up with a smile on her face, 'I'm going to get him back' she thought
She looked over to his side of the bed, and was surprised to be meet with the small body of her son
Alex lay next to his mother waiting for her to wake up, when she did he looked up and moved over to curl up in her arms
"Hey baby"
"Morning mommy" He said
"What's wrong" She asked as she knew that if he ever got up before her he would either go and play or be causing some kind of trouble
"I had a dream" Alex said in to his mothers chest
"Was it a bad one" Buffy asked
"Don't know, daddy was there" Alex said
Buffy eyes widened as she carried on listening to her son
"He said that he would be back soon, but until then I had to look after you and baby" Alex said
"So what's the bad part" Buffy asked
"He went away again, then when I came here to see him, he was not here" Alex said
"Its ok sweetheart, daddy *will* be back soon" She said holding him tighter
"And I'll tell you what, instead of you looking after me, how bout we look after each other, deal" She said looked down at him
"Deal" Alex said "Can we have some chocolate cake and then play"
"For breakfast you little trouble you" She said tickling him
Alex said Buffy tickled each other on the bed for a little while until they were both out of breath
"Come on breakfast, real breakfast" She said picking him up and placing him on the floor
"No chocolate cake" He said running away
Buffy laughed as she chased him around the house then picked him up again and put him in front of the TV so she could go and make breakfast for him, they sat together laughing and watching cartoons then made plans to go to the park, Buffy wanted to spend as much time with her son as possible
*~*~*~*~
Buffy and Alex were having a great time playing when Buffy heard the door knock she glanced out the window and saw it was Willow, Xander and Dawn
"Ok Alex I'm coming to find you" Buffy shouted
"Count to 20 mommy" Alex said
"Ok, 1, 2, 3, 4..." Buffy shouted answering to door
"Hey guys come in," Buffy said opening the door wider then turning round to the house "5, 6, 7, 8..." Buffy shouted
"Buffy are you ok" Willow said
"Yeah I'm fine, 9, 10, 11, 12" Buffy said
"Err how are you coping, no thoughts of killing anybody" Xander said
"Nope, well yeah still wanna rip his heart out but I'm not gonna cause Spike will be back soon, 13, 14, 15..."
"What are you talking about Buffy" Dawn said
"Well, last night Spike came to me in my dream, and told me that every night he would come to me and show me things from the past, 16, 17, 18 and then after a while he will be sent back to me, great huh" Buffy said backing up a little getting ready to go and look for her son
"Buffy, this isn't possible, I don't think your...handling this very well" Willow said
"Handling... what do you guys think I'm crazy or something, 19, 20 ready or not here I come" Buffy said she turned to her friends who were all looking around uncomfortably
"You guys think I'm crazy don't you" Buffy said
"No Buff not crazy just well..." Xander said
"Look I'm not crazy, he really came to me, he said that the PtB's said that he had to show me stuff from our past then I could get him back, I saw stuff last night, I saw back when we first met, our first alliance, when we got engaged because of Willows spell and then he showed me when he first realised he was in love with me, then he told me that he missed me and he loves me and that he'll see me tonight, now where could Alex be, I cant find him anywhere" She said searching for Alex even though she knew he was behind the curtain
"Buffy are you sure its not just a normal dream, I mean I dreamt of Tara a lot after she died" Willow said sadly
"Yeah Buffy same with Anya with me "Xander said
"No guys this is different, because he is coming back, I've had a dream dream of him before but this one is different it felt different, I felt his breath at my ear when he told me he loved me" She said still pretending to look around for Alex
"Buffy..." Dawn started
"There he is your to good at this game for me Alex" Buffy said she picked up Alex from behind the curtain
"Buffy would you just..." Xander said
"Alex tell everyone about the dream you had last night" She said as Alex sat on her hip
"Daddy came to me and said that I had to look after mommy and the baby in mommy's tummy" Alex said proudly
"See guys he came to Alex as well" Buffy said
Everyone still looked unsure
"You guys still don't believe me do you" Buffy said "Alex run up stairs and put your coat on" She said putting him down
"Look I don't know how to prove this but it is happening and I don't really care if you guys think I'm crazy or what ever because this is happening for me and my son, and Alex is my priority" She said grabbing her coat
"Now if you don't mind Alex and I are on our way to the park" She said opening the door and signalling for them to leave
Willow, Xander and Dawn looked at her and realised there was no talking to her yet and left
