Part 3
Xander didn't understand what the vampire was talking about at first but then it suddenly came to him. "Gideon could you please take another form?"
Gideon smiled at him and clapped his hands. "Are we going to play masquerade? May I be the police officer this time?"
Spike was fidgeting and was now looking like he was likely to kick Xander ass or run out of the apartment. He was rambling something that sounded like; "they are all mad. Why do this have to happen to me. Why me? First Drusilla and now these guys."
"Yes Gideon," their father answered. "You may be the police officer this time."
After saying that a blond woman was standing there Gideon had once stood, she smiled and looked just as mad as Gideon had looked. "I like being Kate she is so much fun."
The others in the room smiled at Gideon, in many ways he was a child. And they was very careful what to say to him, not wanting to hurt him. Xander was tired, moving into his new apartment and meeting his family again was something that took a lot out of him. He tried to suppress a yawn but failed.
His father must have seen it because he said "maybe it's time we let Xander get some sleep. We can wait until tomorrow to talk more."
"Yeah sure," Algernon said looking around in the apartment. "So where are we going to sleep?"
Xander yawned again, he hadn't really heard or cared what his older brother had been saying. The only thing he wanted now was to go into his own bedroom and sleep.
"You got a guestroom right?" Algernon asked.
Xander nodded and pointed towards the room. "Yeah, over there. Why do you ask?"
"We need some place to sleep, don't we?" Thaddeus said.
That was the sentence that got Xander's attention. "Sleep here? So you are not going back home?" He asked looking over at their father.
"We can't go home yet. We are having the place rebuild after a little accident." Lucifer answered. "We could off course get a hotel room but I thought that it would be nice if we could be a family a while."
It kind of made sense to him, they hadn't been together as a family since forty years ago when Cousin Ethan had his son named, Lindsey was a very nice kid even thought he was only half-devil.
"Yeah, sure dad. That's okay." Xander said. "You can take the guestroom, there is room for Gideon there too. Thaddeus and Algernon, you may take the coach. I am sure that you will manage to make it to your liking."
"That's will be fine son," Lucifer said. "Come Gideon let's go and get some sleep." He left the room followed by Xander's older brother, who was now wearing a nightgown and had a teddy bear in his arms.
"Good night, sleep tight. Don't let the evil vampire bite." Gideon said before walking into the room.
Thaddeus and Algernon started to fix the living room to their liking.
"Um, pet." Xander turned around and saw Spike standing before him. The vampire had been unusual quiet which had resulted to that Xander had forgotten about him.
"What is it Spike?"
"Where am I going to sleep?" The vampire asked looking around in the living room. Algernon and Thaddeus had already laid down on the coaches, the cats were lying by their feet.
"You could sleep in one of the chairs in this room or…" Xander stopped talking for a second. What should he say? That Spike could sleep in the same bed as him? He had been interested in the blonde vampire since Angel offered him to Spike as a snack. He had always known that he was bi, being a devil it kind of came with the race. He could off course get Spike out of the apartment if he wanted to, but he knew that the vampire had no where else to go. "You could cheer the bed with me if you want, but I have to warn you; I hog the blanket."
Spike looked a bit bewildered for a moment maybe he didn't believe that Xander actually had asked him the question.
"So what do you say?"
"Um, what?" Spike asked.
"Are you going to sleep in here or in my room?" Xander asked again.
Spike looked at his brothers, who now were sound asleep, at least it looked that way. Maybe he never had seen a devil sleep before because his eyes widen when he saw that Algernon eyes where wide open.
"I think you bed sounds like a good idea." Spike said walking over to Xander's bedroom.
Xander smiled down at his brother. "Thanks guys," he said before following Spike into the bedroom.
A whisper was heard from one of the coaches. "No problem lill' bro."
