'Daddy! Daddy!' three year old Braxtyn said as he was running around in the Sunnydale City Park. Suddenly. he thumped into a man who was writing in his notebook. 'owe..' the toddler said as he fell over. 'well..hey there little guy..let me help you up.' The man leaned over, and helped the toddler back onto his feet. Braxtyn smiled as he looked up to the man. 'Whats your name?' the man asked him. 'B..B..Braxy..' the toddler replied. 'Braxy..thats a nice name..Is your mommy around? I mean is she here with you?' Braxtyn nodded his head and smiled.

'Braxtyn! Braxtyn!' Buffy yelled as she walked around the park looking for her son. 'Braxtyn Blake! Where are you?' Then she turned, and seen a man holding her son. 'Oh..thank God you're alright..where did you go?' she said as she took her son into her arms. 'Mommy!..he help me!' 'Well..um..I was taking notes for my work, then I felt something hit me..' the man replied. 'Oh Braxtyn..what have I told you about strangers?' 'no..its ok..I wont hurt him' the man said as he pulled a business card from his wallet and handed it to her. 'Here..if you ever need a doctor for your son, I'm here..' he smiled as she read his card. 'Dr. William Giles.. I think I've actually heard of you. Its nice to meet you Mr. Giles...' she said. 'Spike..you can call me Spike..its what I prefer..' he replied. 'And who might you be?' he added. 'oh..I'm Buffy Summers, and this is my son, Braxtyn Blake..' she replied. 'Do you have any children Spike?' she asked. 'No..not yet, but someday I'd want one..or two, or three..' he added sarcasticly.

Suddenly there was a loud cry. 'Braxtyn! What happened?' Buffy asked. 'I fell and it hurts..' Braxy said in between cries. Spike said..'here..let me take a look at you and see if you're alright..' he picked him up, and sat him on the bench. 'Its just a scraped knee..and possible a fractured arm..' 'Is that bad?' Buffy asked. 'It depends on what you consider bad...I have some supplies at my office if you wouldnt mind bringing him by?..or..' she interrupted him by saying..'Well..I would, but I ..I dont have a way...' 'I can take you now if youd like..?' he offered. 'As long as we can stop by my apartment first so I can get some money..' 'no..dont worry..its on me..' he smiled. 'You dont have to I..I.can..' she started but he interupted. 'Dont worry about it..I'll get it..' he picked Braxy up, and carried him to his truck, followed by Buffy. 'Are you sure you dont mind?' she asked once again. 'Like I said before, its fine..' he put Braxy in a child seat that was the back seat, then opened the door for Buffy. 'Thank you..' she said as he helped her get in, and then he drove off to his office. 'Where we going?' Braxy asked.

When they arrived, he carried Braxy inside, and sat him on the check-up table. Braxy looked at him in a confused way.'..w..what are you doing?' he asked. Spike smiled as he dabbed the peroxide covered cotton on Braxys scraped up knee. 'owe..that stings!' he cried. 'Its supposed too..let me tell you what my mom always told me when I was your age..she always told me that it only stings because its killing the germs and making it all better..' 'oh..but what are germs?' Spike began to laugh as he thought of how to explain these things to a three-year old. 'They're what causes the pain, and what makes you feel sick..' 'oh..hey it feel better now!' Braxy said. 'See...I told you it would..' he smiled.

Buffy wandered around the office area staring at all the pictures of Spike and his patients. 'Gosh..he must be so..wow! This is just wonderful..all the things he's done for these kids..' she said to herself.

'You know what?' Braxy asked. 'What is it?' 'You'd be a good daddy..my dad is bad..' That came out of nowhere, and really touched Spikes heart. 'You know buddy..I'd love to be one someday..' he sighed. 'B..but why you not got one?' 'well..I havent met the right lady yet..' Spike replied. 'Do you like my mommy?' Braxy asked. Spike began to laugh. 'What make you say that?' 'cauz you looked at her booty..' he giggled. 'I did not!' 'Yes you did! I saw you!;

Buffy stepped into the room with them. 'You have a very bright son Buffy. He's cute..' Spike said to her. 'Yep..thats my little boy for you..' she leaned over and kissed her sons forehead. 'Are you all better now?' she asked. Braxy smiled. 'Yeah...he was checkin you our mommy!' 'What?' they both said at the same time. 'oh um..' 'no..its ok..he says that with everyone..He thinks that just because someone walks behind me, their checking me out..' She let out a laugh as she told him. 'mommy..we go now?' 'yeah..we can..if..Spike is done with what he needed to do.. why dont you ask him?' Braxy looked up to him and smiled. 'Can we?' 'Sure..I'm all done for tonight..'

A few minutes later, they were back in his truck, as Spike took them back to Buffys apartment. Once they arrived, all she could say was..'Thanl you..again..for everything..' 'You're welcome..come by anytime..you know where I'll be if you ever need anything..' he smiled. Braxy yawned. Spike helped her get him out. Buffy opened the door, and Braxy ran inside to his room. She looked at Spike for a minute. 'You're welcome to come inside if you'd like..' 'No..thats ok. I better get going, I still have to finish my daily report. ; he smiled. 'Thank you for everything..Spike..' she said. 'You're welcome..hey what are the two of you doing on Friday?' he asked. 'Nothing..that I know of, why?' 'Well..I was thinking that maybe the three of us could go out..?' 'oh..no..I dont think so...I mean you've already done enough for us..we couldnt possibly..' he interupted. 'Please..I'd love to see you again..' he began to beg her. 'Alrght..we'll go..' she smiled. 'What time do we need to be ready?' 'I should get off around six, so about seven thirty?' he asked. 'Sounds fine with me..' 'So..I'll see you then?' 'Yes..see you then..and remember..if you neev anything, give me a call at my office. I'll be there..' he smiled, then Braxy walked up behind Buffy and asked..'where you go?' 'I've got to go to my house now..' Spike replied to the toddlers question. 'B..b..but why you not stay?' 'Braxtyn! Chill!..please..go pick out your pj's and get ready for your bath.' 'ok..bye..bye..Spikey..' he smiled then walked back inside. Spike laughed a little. 'Like I said before, he's a cute boy. Most of the ones I work with aren't all that adorable like Braxy. I like him.' Buffy smiled once again. 'He seems to really liekyou as well..I would love to stay and talk more, but its getting late, and Braxtyn still needs to get a bath. So..see you Friday?' 'Yes..see you then..Bye Buffy..' he smiled. 'Bye.' Spike walekd away to his truck, got inside, and drove off to his house.

Buffy sat in the bathroom giving Braxy his bath. 'Mommy? Do you like Spikey?..' 'He's cute..but yet very handsome..and yeah..I do..' 'I want him to be my daddy!' Braxy cried. 'oh sweetie..theres just so much you dont understand..Its..it just doesnt work that way in the real world..' 'But you like him?' 'And I always will..I have this feeling that on Friday he will aske me out..' 'Is that good?' 'Yeah baby..it is..' she washed his hair, and rinsed the soap off him. 'You ready to get out?' she asked. 'Yep! Yep! Yep!' he stood up. She put a towel around him, and picke dhim up. Then sat him on the counter as she dried his hair. 'Baby powdy mama!' she put his favorite stuff on him, baby powder, which put a smile on his face. After that, she put his pjs onhim, and tucked him into bed. 'Night mommy..' he said. 'Night braxy..' she turned off the light, and closed the door as she walked into her room.

Once he was sound asleep, Buffy got into the shower. ' 'Owe..Damn!' she cursed to herself as she got memories form when Angel had attacked her. She was rubbing lotion on her legs when there was a knock at the door. 'What the? Its 11:30 at night..who would be here at that time..?' She slipped on her robe, then walked over to the door, and opened it. 'Angel..what are?' 'Buffy..can we talk?' 'Sure..come inside..' He walked in, and she shut the door behind him. Suddenly he grabbed her arm. 'What are?..owe..let me go..! he pushed her onto the couch, and she fell over the table and hurt her leg. 'Kiss me Buffy..' he said. 'No! Owe! Stop!' she cried. Braxtyn stumbled his way into the living room. 'da..ahh!' he started to cry' 'No! Angel please..dont do this!..not in front of our son!' he slapped her. 'Shut the hell up!' he yelled into her face, as he ripped off her robe and touched her. Braxy stood up and stumbled towards them. Crying. Then..Angel turned around and hit him so hard that he hit the wall. He was hurt. Buffy was hurt. Angel just wanted to get some pleasure. 'Why are you doing this?' she asked. 'Dont ask me that!' he yelled. 'What do you want then?' she asked. 'I want you..Buffy..please..I want you back!' 'No!' she managed to get out, as she pushe dhim off her. She grabbed baby Braxy,a nd ran into her room crying, as she held Braxy close to her now nude body. 'shh..dont cry..mommys here..' she rocked him, and kissed his forehead. Then suddenly..he broke the door down, and grabbed Braxy from her arms, and threw him on the floor. 'No! No! No!' Buffy screamed as she scooted back against the headboard of the bed. She closed her eyes as he slapped her. Then..it happened. He attacked and raped her right in front of their own son, who was only 18 months old at the time. When he left, she was so sore, she could hardly move. She grabbed a long t-shirt, and slipped it on. Then picked up baby Braxtyn and held him. 'I'm sorry baby..I'm sorry you had to see that..I'm sorry that hes your daddy..I wish over and over again that he wasnt, but that can never change.' she held him in her arms close to her beat up, and bruised body.

Buffy finally snapped out of it, and remembered that she was only having flashbacks. She brushed her teeth, and then walked into her sons room. Watching him as he slept. She whispered to him once again.. 'I'll find you a daddy who will love you forever. I promise!' she kissed his forehead, then went to bed.
