Chapter Fifty-Seven: Hero
Spike walked into Faith's home and looked around, their was no one there, e walked into the kitchen and noticed the light in the back yard was on, he walk out side and notices someone moving about, he opened the door sharply and was met with Buffy in the middle of the garden.
"What are you doing here?" He asked walking towards her.
"Got a call from Jamie saying he's got something to show me, it sounded urgent."
"I got a similar call from Katie." Spike said, raising an eyebrow.
Then all of a sudden they heard a window being opened up stairs and a radio being placed onto the roof.
"OK folks I've got a caller on the line, what's your name caller?" The voice from the radio said.
"I'm Alex."
Buffy and Spike's eyes both widened at hearing their sons voice on the radio.
"How old are you son?"
"I'm nine, I'll be ten soon."
"Ok, what can I put on for you?"
"I would like to put on a song, my aunty Faith says it's called a dedication, for my mom and dad, Buffy and William."
Buffy and Spike were gob smacked at hearing their names on the radio.
"It's Hero, by that Enrique guy please."
"That's a funny song for a young lad like you, why that song Alex?"
"Because I think that not only are my mom and dad my hero's, I think they are each other's too." Alex said simply.
Buffy and Spike looked up at each other their eyes locked when the first lines of the song hit.
Let me be your hero
Would you dance
If I asked you to dance?
Would you run
And never look back?
Would you cry
If you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?
Buffy looked up at Spike as he stood across from her, she moved towards he and put a shaky hand on his arm and sliding it up to his shoulder.
Would you tremble
If I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die
For the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.
Spike looked down at her, and he couldn't help but surrender, he loved her so much, he had for years and he would for years to come, he slowly put his hand on he waist.
I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
Would you swear
That you'll always be mine?
Or would you lie?
would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care...
You're here tonight.
I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
They swayed intimately to the music, as Buffy wrapped her arms securely around his neck and Spike held her possessively around the waist. It wasn't long before Buffy placed her head gently on his shoulder and closed her eyes, letting the music and the overwhelming feel of being in Spike's arms wash over her. As Spike nuzzled her neck and took in the glorious smell of her lavender scented hair, he peppered loving kisses from her collarbone to her shoulder. He felt her shiver and smiled to himself.
Oh, I just want to hold you.
I just want to hold you.
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care...
You're here tonight .
"Spike?" She whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Please come home." She asked.Spike realised him leaving and not trusting her over his own insecurities about Angel was stupid so with out hesitating he replied
"You try stopping me." He said kissing her forehead.
I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
I can be your hero.
I can kiss away the pain.
And I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
You can take my breath away.
I can be your hero.
"Ok that was Hero by Enrique Inglesis dedicated to Buffy and William."
She smiled and tightened her arms around him, wanting to be as close a possible; neither of them heard the three 'Yessss' sound from the door, and a chuckle from Faith.
Spike turned his head and opened his eyes briefly then opened them completely when he spotted their audience.
"Look who's here darlin." He whispered to Buffy.
Buffy turned her head and saw her kids.
She took one hand from behind Spike neck and pointed to the three of them individually and crocked her finger for them to come to them.
Buffy and Spike separated. Buffy hugged Jamie and Spike hugged Katie, Katie and Jamie stepped back Buffy and Spike stood up straight and looked at Alex, they knew if it wasn't for him and his determination to have his parents back, this wouldn't have happened.
Buffy and Spike both picked up Alex and hugged him tightly and kissed him on the head.
"We love you so much son, thank you." Spike said.
"Are you coming home?" Alex gasped out as his parents squeezed him.
"Yeah I'm coming home and I think someone has earned himself a ride on a certain motorbike in the drive."
"Cool." Alex said kissing both his parents on the cheek before they but him down.
Alex looked up at his mother who had tears in her eyes.
"Don't cry mom, I thought you were happy." Alex said.
"Sorry, happy tears, very happy tears." She said wiping them away.
Faith took that moment to come to them.
"Suppose you don't need my place any more." Faith said.
Spike stepped forward and hugged Faith.
"You know I love you right" Spike said sincerely, Buffy heard what he said and knew it was the same kind of love Buffy had for Faith, a friends forever love.
"Yeah, I love ya too, both of you, catch you later." She said giving Buffy a brief hug and leaving.
Spike and Buffy looked at each other again and embraced before leaving to go home.
