Chapter 11 -=- Threats and Realization

-Hospital-

Xander stared at a sleeping dawn in the hospital and then at faith who was still staring through the window at Willow. "I wonder what Buffy and them are doing."

Faith smiled, "Well hey as long as they aren't having a battle without us, I say they're good."

-Hyperion-

Spike and Angel carry Buffy in the doors followed by all the slayers. They set her one the couch and Andrew comes running over. Buffy's breathing and awake but just can't walk.

"Spike did you really have to taunt the bringer. You could of at least warned me or something. That freaking hurts." Buffy started yelling

"Come on slayer, it was only a small hole in the foot." Spike defended

"You don't get it, I hurt more then you do." Buffy fought back

Andrew came over with disinfectent and took off Buffy's sock and shoe. "This is going to sting Buffy."

Buffy winced, "I am going to beet you Spike."

"Don't hurt yourself slayer."

Spike laughed and Buffy cried in horrible pain which shut Spike up instantly. "I swear to god Andrew if I don't have my painkillers soon."

"Calm down Buffy. You've been through worse." Andrew took his time.

Andrew patched Buffy up and she limped to the kitchen for water. She took her painkillers and when she was done she saw all the slayers plus Wesley, Gunn, Spike, Angel and Andrew watching her.

"Alright girls, I think it's time to rest. You know your rooms." The slayers made their way to their rooms which left Gunn, Wes, Spike and Angel. "Well Gunn you can crash with Rona, she's the quietest one we have, Wesley I want you with Illyria I don't trust her and I hear that you keep a pretty good eye on her."

Both nodded and made their way upstairs to look for their rooms, good thing for Gunn the names are on the doors. Wesley just had to find Illyria which wasn't to hard. I guess spotting a big blue person isn't that hard at all.

Buffy stared at Spike and Angel, "Spike you can have Xander's room..."

"Are you kidding me? Me and the little ponce in the same room."

"Fine fine fine, You get to bunk with Faith. By the way you call him that again and I'll hit you so hard you won't wake up for weeks. I don't care if I feel it too."

"Wow, slayer finally has a taste of what that chip did to me."

Buffy sighed, "Angel you get to bunk with Dawn. Her room is right next to mine and faith's room is the room on the other side of me. If they get back tonight then you can either stay in that room or you can bunk in my room. Night guys!"

Angel and Spike headed upstairs to their rooms for the night. Buffy just sat with a blanket on the couch not feeling like walking on one foot up the stairs. She just thought to herself, 'I have never felt more like a mom then I do right now.' Buffy sat by the phone hoping with everything that Xander or Faith would phone. Her wish almost came true because that moment Faith and Dawn walked through the door. Faith looked a little mangled.

"What happened?"

"Bunch a vampires, we took them easy."

Buffy nodded and Dawn stared at her, "You're not sleeping?"

Buffy answered, "Nah, I can't tonight. Sorry guys but Faith you're bunking with Spike and Dawn you're with Angel."

Faith sighed, "Well better wear my slutty pajamas then."

Buffy smiled, "Do you have any pajamas that aren't slutty?"

Faith stuck her tounge out, "Willow is suppossed to wake up soon But Giles is in critical condition. Xander said just to tell to switch the injuries when Angel tried to end the world. It doesn't look good for Giles."

Buffy smiled, "Giles can handle anything, he knows I need him here!"

They all smiled and all three wished eachother goodnights. Dawn and Faith tranced upstairs. Spike was shirtless on the couch by Faith's bed when she walked in wearing a pretty much see through tank top and extremely short shorts that matched. Spike gave a little smile as Faith got into bed.

"What, had to look good for me hunny?"

"Get over yourself Spike."

"Come on you know you want me."

Faith sighed, "If I wanted you then you'd be in this bed with me."

Spike hopped in the bed, "So what if I'm in the bed with you now."

"Then I guess I want you."

Faith and Spike started making out but neither took it further then that for some reason. At least Spike got to sleep on the bed and not the couch. Sometime during the night Faith cuddled into Spike. They fit almost perfectly.

Downstairs Buffy smiled and Spike's feeling of contentment. She knew that Spike and her will always be connected but they were never going to be the love's of each other's lives.

Dawn walked into her room to see Angel shirtless on the couch beside her bed. Dawn took off her earrings and put them on the dresser. She walked over to Angel who was reading a book and crouched in front of him.

"You remember me right Angel?" He just nodded. "I remember you too. When Buffy would talk to my dad or me while I was in L.A. she would never stop talking about you. She said stuff about being hot and sensetive. She may be connected to you but I can read you pretty well and yet I still can't figure out why you went and left her." Angel was about to speak, "For her own good yadda yadda yadda. Let me tell you something, she was banging an army man, banging Spike, she dies, she helped kill a god, do you think that's a normal life?" Angel just shook his head. "She also talks about how you love Cordelia now. If that's true I want you to think long and hard about how close you get to Buffy during our stay here. If you plan on getting close to her and dropping her for miss prom queen I swear Buffy will never find your ashes."

Angel smiled a little bit and Dawn loked angry, "Don't worry Dawnnie I believe you, it's just Spike said almost the same thing to me."

"Good because Spike will help me." There was a pause and Dawn stood back up. "Think about what I said Angel. You know Cordelia's alive and Buffy's right downstairs. Cordelia is corporreal and plus Willow did that whole binding of your soul when Buffy found out about Cordelia."

Angel jumped up, "My souls there for good."

Dawn nodded, "I guess they forgot to tell you that." Angel only nodded. "Think about this too then. "You left Buffy for her so then why would you even want anyone else huh? Anyway Angel just think about it all and remember you hurt her to the point where she cries for days again and you will have her sister, Spike, Willow, defenitely Xander and Faith all over you." Angel was stunned. Dawn climbed into bed and with a cheery voice, "Sweet dreams Angel."
