Chapter 9
Spike wakes to a rainy and blah day. He only had two appointments today. (Why do people like to make these things on Saturday? I like to sleep in today, but no they like to make my life hell.) Spike thinks to himself as he walks around the pile of clothes that is always in the way. He was not a good housekeeper, why be when all his time is out. He makes a small breakfast and then takes a shower; he has no idea what awaits him today as he walks out the door.
Buffy awakes early so she can prepare for the day; she had to get dressed and then try to get the boys' dressed without them going haywire. "Boys' breakfast is on, come and sit down."
She has no idea that in less than two hours she will face her greatest fear. Buffy thinks today is like all the rest but today will change more lives then hers. After dressing her and the kids she gets in the car to go to the studio. Driving down the same road she drove on that faithfully night; she thinks of him.
Dawn has opened the studio when Spike got there; he went in the office leaving instructions for Dawn to start the session then come and get him. Spike walks into the studio to see a family ready to have their pictures taken. He puts on his best smile and gets started.
While Spike is taking the families picture; Buffy is entering the building. "Hi, we are here to have our picture taken." Buffy tells Dawn over the counter. "What is your name, please?" Dawn answers. "Buffy Summers" It will be a few minutes; if you want to tidy up there is a dressing room down that hall to left." Dawn point to the hall on the right; the one with photos of customers Spike had taken. "Thank you; we will be just a minute." Buffy answers.
Spike rings Dawn to bring back the next customer. While she did as he asked he goes into the office to retrieves his glasses. That last family was a really bad way to start the day. He sits down in his chair and puts the glasses on to check his school pictures days. After doing so he walks in to the studio; a woman has her back to him and the kids are facing him. (Those boys are so cute) he says to himself before he came closer and saw their mother.
"Spike, this is Miss Summer and her boys' Matt and Billy." Dawn says as Spike walks into the room. Buffy turns to the man being addressed; she takes one look and faints dead away.
