(Hey all. Thanks again for reading and reviewing my story. I'm sorry its been a month since my last post on this story. I've been working on the sequel, and along with that I've been so busy lately with vacations, etc.. Its been a long summer. I start school soon, Thursday the 19th of August, and well I will not post as often, because I will only be allowed on the computer for anything except homework, and well only on weekends for chatting, etc. So I will have at least a chapter a week or so. It all depends on how much homework I have. I really have to focus more on school now that I'm in High school. Well here is the chapter..u know..read and please review! I love rewiews! I'll post more chaps if u review more! Thanks! Zanet!)
They carried Braxy out into the pouring rain and put him into the car. Then drove off. Buffy laid on the floor crying. She was hurt so bad. She leaned over and picked up the phone, and called Spike. 'Come on..please..answer..' she began to get impatient until he picked up.
'Hello?' Spike answered.
'Spike?' Buffy said in a teary and upset voice.
'Buffy? Is that you? You sound upset..whats wrong?'
'They took him!' she screamed into the phone as tears continued to roll down her cheeks.
'Who took who?' he asked.
'Social Services came and took Braxtyn from me..' she cried.
'What? Why did they do that?' he asked.
'I dont know! All they said was that they ..well they had a court order to take him. His father got married, and he demanded to have him. I cant believe this. After all this time...' she cried. 'They have no right to give him Braxy...he hates him!' she cried even more. 'They also said that I have nothing for Braxys future. That he would be better off with him..'
'Stay there..I'm coming over..' he said as he hung up the phone, and headed out the door.
'Ok..' she hung the phone up then walked over to the couch and as she was about to sit down, when she seen Braxys bear lying on the floor. She picked it up, and held it close to her like she did when Braxy was a baby. Tears began to fall even more.
Fifteen minutes later, Spike was at her apartment comforting her, and holding her close. He kissed her forehead. 'Tell me about his father. Why does he not like him?'
'Because he remembers..' Buffy said in a quiet voice. It hurt her to even think about what.
'What does he remember?' he asked in a concerned voice.
She looked away from him. 'I..I..I dont like to talk about it..'
'Buffy..pet..look at me. I understand that whatever it is bothers you, but if you talk about it, it helps. ' he looked at her in a serious way.
She tried to smile. 'I dont know...its just..you see..I've never told anyone this before, but when Braxy was around 18 months of age, his father, Liam , he attacked me. and nearly killed Braxy.'
'Why did he do that?'
'All because I broke up with him. He got all pissed off about it, and decided he'd attack us. I only let him into the apartment that night, because he said he wanted to talk. I didnt think anything of it. Braxy was asleep. I had just put him to bed. Once he came in, he pushed me away from the door, and hit me. He hit Braxy too after he came crawling into the room with us. I managed to grab Braxy and escape him for a minute...I was in my room with the door locked. but..he broke the door down and grabbed Braxy from me. Then he slapped me, and tore off my robe, all that stuff. and he raped me. Right in front of his own son..' she let another tear fall as she thought about how she felt a little better for telling someone. Especially him. 'Bastard..he can hurt me, but not my son.' she sighed.
He looked at her. ' Buffy..why have you not told anyone about this? You could've had him put away. Lots of things like that. You should not have kept this a secret for this long. Its just..'
She interrupted. 'Are you angry?'
'No..I'm not mad at you, just a little upset because you never told me. I understand why you kept it a secret. I know. I've done it before..' he looked down.
'What do you mean?' she asked.
'Well..I'm..um..unable to have children.'
'Why not? Do you have a problem with them?'
'No..of course not. I love kids..I've always wanted one, its just my body wont allow me to produce the sperm and all that. So I'm unable to...' he looked down a bit upset.
'I'm sorry.'
'Its quite alright now. Braxtyn is like a son to me. When I first seen him, I fell in love with him. He's such a bright child. I will help you get him back Buffy. I promise..even if its the last thing I do..he will come home and back to you..'
She smiled at the thought of he was going to help her out. She turned around and kissed him softly on his lips. 'Thank you Spike. I mean it. Thank you. You've done a lot not only for me, but Braxy too.'
'You're welcome. My father is a family lawyer. I'm sure he could help you get Braxy back. He's one of the best there is. He's never lost a case.'
'Really?' she asked.
'Yes. He loves children just as much as I do, and he would be more than willing to help us out..' he smiled at her.
'Thanks again Spike..I appreciate it.' she yawned then layed back into his arms and closed her eyes.
He held her close as she drifted off to sleep. Then all night long he held her.
He cared for her so much, and would do anything for her and Braxtyn. He loved them both.
