Chapter Five
"You have got to be out of your bloody minds," Spike told the vampire he presumed was in charge. "You're here for kittens. I don't have any bloody kittens." He glanced over at Buffy. "Luv, would you do me a great favor and get Demon Girl and her boy out of here?" he asked.
"You don't want me to slay the vampires?" Buffy asked curiously. "That is part of my job description as a Vampire Slayer," she reminded him. She folded her arms across her chest and waited for the answer.
"Buffy, just get them out of here," Spike begged. "There are other duties you have tonight," he pointed out with a dirty look in his eyes.
Buffy rolled her eyes but did as she was told. She would rather have sex anyway, she decided. "Xander," she called as she entered the dark crypt. "Xander, Anya!" she called. "Guys, the coast is clear," she added as she walked around towards the TV. Nothing. "Xand!" she called louder. Perhaps they had gone downstairs to hide. Or do other things…
Buffy rolled her eyes again. She did not want to know what Anya and Xander were doing considering that they were basically alone and in danger. That normally led to sex as she recalled. "Xander, just put your shirt on and get out of here," she yelled downstairs without looking. "The coast is clear."
"Did you hear that?" Xander asked as he briefly stopped kissing Anya. The two of them were seated at the edge of Spike's bed. Joseph was at the top of the bed, and he was still sleeping like an angel. "We can go."
"Do we have to?" Anya whined as she moved back towards her son. She grabbed his blue blanket and began wrapping him up again. She had to be extremely careful so she would not wake him.
"I think it was code for Buffy and Spike would like to use this bed," Xander pointed out as he started heading up. Anya followed carefully behind him. Once Xander was on the main level of he crypt, he took Joseph. "Hey Joey," he said in the soft baby voice.
Anya smiled as she watched the two men in her life walk towards the door. She wanted to believe things could be ok between her and Xander. If he could forgive her for this, she could forgive him for his actions that caused this. She sighed as she walked next to Xander. "Can I have him back?" she asked curiously.
"Of course," Xander said as he carefully transferred the baby to Anya's waiting arms. He then opened the door to Spike's crypt and walked out. To his horror, the vampires were still there. "Anya, stay inside," he commanded sternly.
"No, it's ok," Buffy assured Xander. "They just want to check the place for kittens. It's stupid," she said with a roll of her eyes.
"Not as stupid as playing poker for various cookies," Spike argued back. "I've seen you play, and this is not that stupid."
"I'm not having this argument again," Buffy said as she waited for Anya to leave.
Anya slowly came outside with Joseph held tightly in her arms. She tried her best to ignore the vampires. She concentrated on Xander.
"Hold it," the first vampire said. "What's in the blanket?"
"My son," Anya quickly responded. She moved the blanket slightly to show Joseph's face. "See?" she asked before walking over to Xander. "Let's go," she said quickly. Xander nodded and the two if them quickly began walking out of the cemetery.
Buffy rolled her eyes. "You can go, too, you know," she told the vampires. "There are no kittens here."
"Well, no felines," Spike corrected. "You can be quite the sex kitten," he said as he wrapped an arm around her. He smiled and began kissing her. As the two of them kissed, the vampires began to leave. Spike smiled triumphantly as he pulled away. "Let's go inside," he told Buffy. "We have things to do."
