Author's Note: Sorry it has been so long. I just had

prom so I've been busy. Here's the next chapter.

Enjoy, and R & R. Thanks!

Buffy and Spike sat in the living room with Dawn, who

wanted desperately to tell her sister about Tabby's

poem. She knew she'd only piss Spike off, but it'd be

hilarious anyway.

"So Buff, Tabitha told us something interesting

today." Dawn said smiling.

Suddenly Dawn got a sharp elbow in her ribs from

Willow, who was giving her a very stern look.

"What?" Buffy asked impatiently.

"Um…she just told me she um saw you and Spike playing

in your bed once." Dawn blurted quickly.

Buffy's face went bright red, and Spike had a look of

shock on his face too. Dawn's face was almost as red

as Buffy's, as she had not meant to say that.

"Mommy, Tabitha hit me!" JD yelled as he ran into the

room.

"So what!" Tabitha yelled back at him. "You are such

a baby. I mean grow up!"

"Tabitha, that's not very nice." Buffy said pulling

JD into her lap.

"Well we were just playing Slayers and Vampires. I

love that game because I always win. Slayers are

better anyway." Tabitha said kicking her chubby leg

into the air.

"Hey, that's not very nice." Spike said making a sad

face.

"Oh Daddy, not you! You are the best Daddy Vampy in

the world!" She said throwing her arms around her

father's neck.

"What's that?" JD asked pointing at a bottle on the

shelf.

"The bottle?" Buffy asked.

"Yes." JD said getting up to look at it. "What's it

say just there?" He asked pointing at the label.

"It says Jack Daniels." Dawn said.

"But it's alcohol, and it's very bad for you okay."

Willow added.

"Like my name?" JD asked.

"What?" Buffy asked.

"Yeah like his name!" Tabitha said giggling.

"What are you two talking about?" Dawn asked looking

puzzled by the five-year-olds amusement.

"Jack Daniels…JD. It's like my name!" JD said dancing

around the room with his hands in the air. "Jack

Daniels! Jack Daniels!"

"JD, stop that this instant." Spike said quickly.

"Is it beer?" Tabitha asked.

"Kind of." Dawn said.

"Jack Daniels! Jack Daniels" JD continued to chant.

"Oh I know about beer. Beer bad!" Tabby said.

This only caused Buffy and Willow to crack up

laughing.

"Okay guys, let's stop this whole conversation. JD

stop doing that now please." Spike said picking JD up.

"Whatever. But I know you drink that stuff." JD said

angrily.

"I don't, not anymore. It is bad for you JD." Spike

said kissing his son on the forehead. "Come on its

time for bed anyway."

Buffy stood up and took JD from Spike, as Spike

picked up Tabitha.

"Daddy will you tell us a story again tonight?"

Tabitha asked.

"Of course Princess. Which one?" Spike asked.

"Hmm, well maybe the one about when you had to sing

songs! I love that story. Or when you didn't know

anything, and Mommy was Joan. That's a funny one too."

Tabitha said.

"Yeah those two are funny." JD added in.

"Or the one where the house fell down!" Tabitha said

excitedly.

"What??" Buffy whirled around. "You didn't!"

"No, I didn't tell them the whole story." Spike said

trying not to grin a the thought of that night.

"Yeah you did! It was the first time you and mommy

knew you loved each other right?" Tabitha said

smiling.

"Um yeah I guess." Spike said, grinning now.

After the kids were in bed, Buffy and Spike said good

night to Dawn and Willow, and went to their room.

"I can't believe you told them that story!" Buffy

said laying on her stomach with her head resting on

Spike's chest.

"Well I didn't tell them everything." Spike said

sliding his hand through her hair. "Just the parts

they could understand."

"Uh huh, still. That is a terrible story." Buffy

said.

"I didn't find it all that terrible." Spike said

grinning.

"I'll bet you didn't." She replied grinning up at

him.

"You didn't either. The fact that we can bring a

house down around us, is pretty damn cool eh?" Spike

said.

"Oh stop." Buffy said hitting his chest.

"Oww." Spike said grabbing where she hit.

"Oh I'm sorry." Buffy said, concerned now.

"Ha ha, like that would hurt me." Spike said pushing

Buffy back and kissing her.

"Hey you liar!" Buffy said kissing him back. "Ugh I

hate you sometimes."

"Do you?" He said kissing her neck.

"Yes." She replied.

"Sure you do." He smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too." She smiled up at him.
