"Are you sure?"
Chloe nodded slowly.
Spike came closer to Chloe.
"Is he...is he with you now?"
"No. He just hangs around my crypt. He isn't hostile or anything, but he doesn't like it when I leave him."
"Why haven't you tried to make him leave?"
"I don't know. I...I miss him sometimes. He says that's why he is back. 'Cause I wanted him too. He said my inner impulses of love for him called back from the hell he was in."
"How in the hell can you miss that bastard? He tried to kill you if you don't remember."
"I know Spike. But you didn't have the relationship with Christian that I did. You wouldn't understand."
"Understand what? That after everything he put you through, you still love him?"
Her now red eyes went down to slits.
"How dare you. I shouldn't have even said anything to you. You wont or can't understand."
With that she stomped out of Spike's presence, the sound of her boots echoing against the wall. Spike sighed and rolled his eyes, slamming his fist on a table.
Chloe walked into her layer and threw her jacket off. She was upset that Spike could say something like that. He knew better than that. He had been with her the whole time Christian was alive and he knew the pain she went through. She sat down on her bed and looked around.
"Have fun?" said a shadowy voice from behind her.
Chloe spun around and looked at the dark eyes of Christian Marks. She gulped and clutched the side of the bed.
"Did I frighten you?"
"Y...yes."
"Good."
Chloe looked at Christian's pale, unlively face. She wasn't frightened anymore. She didn't care if he knew where she went. He couldn't stop her. She stood up from the bed and walked over to the other side. She began to take off her boots when Christian came over and stood in front of her.
"You look so cute when you're mad."
She rolled her eyes and finished taking off her boots.
"Oh don't act like that. I was just making an observation."
Chloe stood up and walked into the other room. She needed to get undressed, but she didn't want Christian to see her. They had a relationship, but they weren't still in it.
She took off her pants and then her shirt. She suddenly got a chill. She felt something cold against her. She turned around.
"Christian!" she tried to cover up as best as possible.
"I forgot how beautiful you are."
"Get out."
He didn't move, but stood there looking at Chloe's vulnerable body.
"Christian. Stop it. Get out!" she screamed. Her eyes red.
"I've also forgotten how much I want you." He said his eyes boring into hers.
She backed up, but he followed.
"Christian. Stop." She said, forgetting to cover up, but watching for where she was going. Her eyes were turning a yellow color. She was frightened. Frightened for the first time in awhile. She was suddenly against a wall. Christian's face was right in hers.
"Christian. Stop. Please." She said with a tone of worry in her voice.
Christian put his arms above Chloe's head.
"Look at me."
Chloe turned her head.
"Look at me!" he yelled.
Chloe looked in his lifeless eyes.
"I need you. You feel it too. I know you do. I see it in those mysterious eyes of yours. You can't hide anything from me. I know you too well."
"But...your dead."
"Oh...that can be fixed. You see I may be dead, but that doesn't mean I can't let's say, bring me back."
"That...that cant happen. Willow banished you...you can't come back."
"Not entirely."
Chloe was confused. How could he come back?
"That's why I need you. To come back." He looked at Chloe's tan stomach moving up and down from her heavy breathing.
She suddenly understood.
He was going to make her pregnant with his child, so he could come back. But how?
"You understand now don't you? How you ask? It's quite simple."
Chloe felt her heart would explode. He was a spirit. How could he make her pregnant?
He smiled his devilish grin.
His body suddenly vanished into hers.
Chloe gasped sharply. It had begun.
