Spike and Buffy had just finished their drinks and were now adoring the bodies clashing toegther as they danced to the very sensual music. It didn't take long for Buffy to want some of this fun so she slowly took him by the hand and winked before leading him tot he dance floor. They had stopped by a closed store to pick up a new wardrobe that soulless Buffy would like. So now she pretty much looked like a modern wannabe vampire. Dressed in an extremely short black skirt with slits up the sides and a red top that only held together by the ties that went around the neck Buffy started to slowly dance around Spike. It didn't take long for him to start dancing along with her. Using very slow and passionate movements that matched the song Spike finally got to express a love for the slayer, even if he knew she didn't really love him back.
Buffy looked up into Spike's eyes but then caught a couple on the stairs making out. Buffy slowly turned around so her back was to Spike so he could wrap his arms around her waist. She leaned back againt him their hipped swayed rhythmatically to the beat. Another grin of humor spread on her face as she looked up again to see the couple still making out. She lent her head back on Spike's shoulder to draw his attention to the couple. When he saw what the slayer was so interested with he had to find a way out of letting Buffy kill harmless people.
So he put on a flirtatious smile and played the flirtatious card that came naturally, "You think we could do better?"
Buffy winked at him, "Not what I had in mind but we could show them up before throwing them over the edge."
Spike smiled and started to slowly lead her up the stairs. He must of been the worlds best actor seeing as Buffy didn't suspect a thing. In seconds their lips were attached and their hands were roaming, defenitely making more of a scene then the couple next to them were. Even the couple next to them were watching Spike and Buffy. The only thought Spike had was, 'My responsibilities don't suck."
-Hyperion - About the same time-
Everyone else in the hotel was asleep but Angel. Their baby was even sleeping but I guess there was more on Angel's mind then he even knew. He lay the baby down on the bed by his mother and made sure the windows were locked shut before walking towards the door. He hadn't been outside the room since Conner was born and he was feeling pretty hungry. It didn't take him long to make it down the stairs to the kitchen but it surprised him when he saw Willow sitting at the table reading a book with a cup of tea in her hand.
Willow looked up slowly obviously not startled by his presence, "Couldn't sleep?"
Angel smiled, "Kind of hungry. You mind if I eat in front of you?"
Willow smiled and put down her tea, "I live with Spike."
Angel nodded and walked tot he fridge for his blood. "So, you're already up?"
Willow smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I'll sleep after this is over."
"What are you reading?"
Willow shrugged, "Anne Rice. After we met Dracula Spike went on and on about how Anne Rice and Dracula are the reasons everyone knows how to kill vampires so i started reading the books. The garlic thing is so cliche."
Angel smiled and put the blood in the micrwave, "So you guys are close huh? You and Spike?"
Willow closed her book, "We do have the whole gang, which is great but nowadays it's pretty much Spike, Buffy and me. Buffy's kind of a loner, Spike's in love with her and I have magic powers."
Angel nodded, "I was gonna say that earlier. Your magic has really improved since the last time I saw you."
Willow looked down now, "It was good for a while but magic get's hard to control. When I brought Buffy back I hit a point where I'm using magic for everything. After this is all over I'm done with magic."
Angel looked concerned now, "You can do this Willow. I remember when you were this shy teenage girl who wasn't aloud boys in her bedroom. You were shy but you were smart, you know how to handle yourself."
Willow shrugged, "I think that's why I started using magic to help Buffy. I stopped being the nerdy research girl and became a real asset you know? I was special."
Angel smiled and took his mug out of the microwave, "You were always special. Remember when Faith captured you? You should of seen everyone react to that. Oz was pretty much dying, Buffy was hsterical and Xander was all tough and ready to hit Wesley. You don't have to try to be anything you aren't to feel special especially with Xander and Buffy around you. They couldn't lose you for the world."
Willow was all teary now, "I forgot you get all speechy sometimes."
Angel smiled as he sat down, "It's what I do." Angel took the following silence to bring up Buffy's condition, "So when is Xander coming?"
Willow shrugged, "Any minute now. He has to wake Dawn up which is like waking Buffy up but whinier."
Angel nodded and smiled, "Does Buffy have to be close for this to work?"
Willow sighed, "Nope. It's just like your spell but without the clause."
"When are you doing it then?"
Willow shrugged, "A little after everyone shows." Angel nodded and took a sip of blood. Now Willow took the silence to change the subject, "Did you name him yet?"
Angel's smile widened, "Yeah. Conner."
Something clicked in Willow's head, "What did you guys use for a last name?"
"Jameston. Darla and I used it a few times a long time ago."
"So Conner Jameston?"
"Conner William Jameston."
Willow shook her head and smiled, "I have to see the look on Spike's face when you tell him that."
Angel smiled, "I can't wait. We just need Buffy and him back for the real party now."
Willow sighed, "It'll be a few hours now. Buffy's soul will be returned and then there can be cake."
Something popped in Angel's head that put a worried expression on his face, "Returned? You mean when Buffy get's her soul back Darla won't have one?"
Willow smiled and shook her head, "Darla's fine Angel. She has the essense of Buffy's soul but her actual one is somewhere out there."
Angel sighed in relief, "Sounds like everything is worked out."
A voice came from behind him that made him jump. "It's all good Deadboy, we know what we're doing."
Angel turned around and fake smiled at the sight, "How you been, Xander?"
