Author's Note: Buffy and Anya bashing in this chapter, along with some strong language. I have a Yahoo group now for those who want notices when I update. Also I have a poll up about who Severus should be paired with. This way I can see easier pairing is the more popular. Please if you have moment go and fill out the polls. The link is in my profile.

Chapter Five: Ex's Attack
Xander woke-up with a smile still on his face. Last night had been wonderful and he couldn't wait for more moments with Spike. Xander threw on a pair of black sweat pants and a dark green t-shirt. He decided to see if the boys were ready for breakfast. Xander went across the hall and opened the boys door and smiled at the picture he saw before him. Draco and Harry were awake and looking at the picture books together while Severus still slept between them. When the boys looked up and saw Xander they quickly put a finger to their lips in a "shh" motion. Xander tiptoed over and carefully lifted each boy out of the bed. Once they were both out of the bed the boys quietly went to wait for him in the hallway. Then he gently helped Severus lay down covering him with a blanket. Xander placed a kiss on Severus forehead before stroking his hair gently. Xander was amazed at the physical changes in Severus, and decided that when he awoke he would ask Severus what had happened to him.
"I see you boys went exploring some last night. I love your Dragon, did you name him yet?" Xander reaches down and picks up Draco who was clutching his toy tightly. It was obvious that Draco was afraid that Xander would take the toy away from him.
"No Daddy Xander, I just found him last night in our playroom. I can keep him right?" Draco asked his lower lip wobbling.
"Draco you can keep it as long as you want and you can bring it any where you want. No one in the house will tease you for having a stuffed animal. I will show you mine later. I have a stuffed dog which has helped keep bad dreams away since I was a year old. My dog's name is Ruff and he still sleeps on my bed even though I'm a grownup. What about you Harry, did you get a stuffed animal?" Xander turns to Harry who was walking quietly beside them. Draco lays his head on Xander's shoulder while sucking on his thumb and clutching his dragon.
"Yes Daddy, Draco found a ferret puppet. His name is Furry. Wanna give him a kiss hello?" Harry holds up the furry brown ferret puppet for Xander to kiss. He leans down and places a kiss a on the ferret's nose.
"Oi! You already found someone else to kiss?" Spike teases as he comes down the hall next to them. Xander laughs and leans over giving Spike a good morning kiss. Draco smiles happily watching his daddies kiss, knowing they love each other. Harry watches them with interest.
"Spike, it is only 8 in the morning, shouldn't all good little vampires be asleep in bed? Not to sound unhappy to see you, but I don't want you to be to tired for patrol." Xander asks Spike as he looks at him with concern.
"Don't worry pet I got plenty of rest. Once Albus told me that there was a good chance the boys would be living here I started changing from vampire hours to hours much closer to humans. Now, how about we go downstairs and feed our hungry little boys. I can hear their stomach growling. Harry, do you want to ride on my back to the kitchen?" Spike leans down so that he is eye to eye with Harry.
"Yes Papa!" Spike and Xander help Harry get settled on to Spike's back, and give Furry to Draco to carry to the kitchen. They all head down stairs smiling as the boys take turns telling them about the two stories Severus had read to them the night before.
Once in the kitchen they set the boys down to sit on the bench of the breakfast nook. Draco hands Harry his stuffed toy while the boys turn to watch their dads cook breakfast.
"I had a great time last time Spike. I know it seems fast but would you consider being my official boyfriend?" Xander asks while removing the friendship bracelet from his wrist. Spike is so surprised that all he can do is nod in agreement.
"I want you to wear this for me. It's a friendship bracelet that my best friend Jessie made for me. I've never taken it off until now." Xander speaks softly his voice cracking on Jessie's name.
"Pet, I would be honored to wear it." Spike tells him and holds out his wrist. Xander quickly slips the bracelet on his wrist. They stare into each others eyes but are brought back to reality due to the sound of clapping. They look over to where they boys are clapping away happily.
"Does this mean you're married now?" ask Draco. Harry nods his head in agreement. Spike and Xander blink in shock.
"No it doesn't boys." Xander finally speaks up. Draco and Harry look crushed with that answer.
"It does mean that we probably will get married someday. If we do get married, as our sons you would be in the wedding." Xander sighs in relief when the smiles appear back on the boys faces.
"Now pets, what does everyone what for breakfast? I can cook almost anything. I've had lots of practice but my specialties are French toast, omelets, and pancakes." Spike tells them after gently pushing Xander into a chair at the breakfast nook. "You just relax Xander and let me take care of all my boys."
Harry and Draco lean together and whisper back and forth for a few moments. Then Draco nods and Harry turns towards Spike. "Papa, we want something I saw in restaurant one time. It's a pancake happy face. My cousin got one but they gave me plain oatmeal. Draco has never ever seen it but he said it sounds good. So, please, that is what we want."
"That sounds good. I'll make four pancake happy faces." Spike begins moving around the kitchen gathering all the ingredients need. Xander and the boys talk about what they would like to do the rest of the day. All of a sudden they were interrupted by the doorbell ringing. Xander and Spike exchange a look of concern.
"Let me get it, Spike. You stay here with the boys and keep working on breakfast." Xander stands up and heads out to answer the door.
Xander PoV-
I wonder who could be at the door this early in the morning. I just have a feeling that nothing good is on the other side. I open the door and realize that I was right. Standing on the porch is Anya and Buffy. This is not going to be fun. I step out on to the porch and shut the door behind me.
"Hello girls. Is there something I can do for you this early morning?" I ask frowning at them both. Anya and Buffy look at each other before Anya nods and turns to me.
"Xander, darling I am giving you one last chance to be a good boyfriend and send those children away and move back in with me. Xander those children will just suck your money dry. Not like they can get a job and help you out anymore. Why children aren't made to work I don't understand. Just laziness, I guess. Xander I did not have an orgasm last night and you need to fix that, it's your duty as my boyfriend. So either send the kids back to where ever the hell they came from or let Spike deal with them. Come on lets get home, you need to work on getting my forgiveness." Anya say with confidence that I will obey her.
"Anya, we broke up last night because you are an unfeeling, callous, self-centered, greedy bitch. I would much rather have my last dime go the children then spend anything on you ever again. The boys appreciate even the littlest thing I do for them. All you ever asked me for was 'more'. I never once heard the word 'Thank You' leave your mouth. Besides Anya, I've already found someone else. I've found someone who is a true partner. They don't expect me to do everything or spend lots of money. They don't treat me like I am stupid, and they care for the boys immensely and have gone out of their way to show it." I finished saying, feeling confident. Even if things go badly with Buffy and Anya there are people in the house who care deeply for me.
"Xander, you must be joking. Who is this hussy that stole you from me? You are mine!" Anya whines.
"Anya, if you must know, it's Spike. We are made for each other. I never should have dated you but I was too scared about falling in love with a man. Spike is perfect for me and my boys love him. They are already calling him Papa. He remodeled this house especially for the boys. He spent his own money to make the perfect family home. Anya we are over. We were over last night. I never cheated on you so don't even try to become the victim. The only victims are those poor little boys inside. Anya, I know you cheated on me several times with local business men and that is how you got some of your clothes. You are nothing more than hooker! I will not have you around my boys anymore. I will have Severus put up wards later to prevent you from stepping foot on the property ever again. So good bye Anya, hope you have a nice life and pray you never have a guy treat you in the same way you treated me." I finish glaring at her. She growls in anger and storms off down the porch and out of sight. I take a deep breath and turn towards Buffy. "How I can help you Buffy?"
"Xander, what the hell is wrong with you? I can believe you're a fucking faggot! What is going on in this town, first Willow becomes a dyke and now you're telling me you're a fag! Not only are you a fag but you are with Spike, the evil undead. Have you forgotten that Vampires are the enemy? We stake them with wooden stakes not your cock! Have you been sneaking around having sex with fledges in the graveyard? You are disgusting Xander! There is no way a sicko like you should be allowed to raise children! Spike and you probably want the boys so you can use them in your sexual games. Well I won't allow it, I am the protector of the innocent, and it's my sacred duty. I am taking the boys with me right now and turning them over to the state. They will be better in a foster home that a house full of fags. I bet that Severus fellow is a fag too." I am so hurt from her words that I am frozen for a moment. Quickly, I move to block her from entering the house.
"Buffy, what is wrong with you! I've done nothing but help and support you over the years. Granted, I gave Angel and you problems when you dated but I was jealous. My best friend was turned into a vampire the night I met you and I staked him. Yet, here you were getting to keep your vampire. It did not seem fair to me then, but that was years ago and everyone matures. At least they are supposed to. I have already talked to Angel to settle things between us and he forgave me. And as to the boys, you never ever threaten to take them away again." I glare at her in anger.
"Xander you never did a damn thing to help me. All you did was get in my way and I had to rescue you. Now I understand why you're not a real man, you are nothing but a sissy. Now get out of my way so that I can stake Spike and rescue those boys from being molested by you. I can only imagine what you've already done to those poor things. Now move the hell out of my way before I make you!" growls Buffy. Before I can say anything the door opens and Severus is standing there incredibly intimidating in all black.
"Hello there Ms.Summers. I have heard what you dare say to a supposed friend of yours. You are a parasite that feeds off anything it can sink its teeth into. You are never going to threaten my godson and his friend again. Now goodbye!" the disdain he has for her dripping from each word. Severus pulls out his wand chants softly. Suddenly, Buffy is picked up by the back of her shirt and carried by an invisible force off of the property. He quickly does another spell. As Buffy tries to come back on the property she is stopped by an invisible wall that she tries repeatedly to break through.
"Fine, I may not be able to get the boys right now, but I'm going to social services to tell them what you sick fags are doing to two innocent four year old boys. I will make sure that you never see those boys again and I'll make sure that when they interview Spike they do it in a room with lots of sun. See ya later, sissy boys!" Buffy gets into her car and peels away.
Severus takes my arm and leads me back into the house. I walk directly into Spike who maneuvers me over to the couch. He pulls me on to his lap and rests my head on his shoulder using his other hand to rub my back. Severus leaves and then comes back into the room with a cup of tea. Severus hands me the tea and then sits down next to us. I start crying due to the loss of a once good friendship and the fear of losing the boys.
"Don't let that silly bird bother you, Xanpet. I know the paperwork is all in order and social services is fine with the boys being here. The adoptions have already gone through. The only way for the boys to be removed is for social services to find signs of abuse. We know they won't find them because they boys have not been abused. I'll also call Giles later and maybe he can straighten Buffy out. I wanted to invite him to dinner in a few days anyway. I think a nice dinner with Giles, Dawn, Tara, and Willow would be a great welcome to the family event for Severus and the boys. So, darling, try not to focus on Buffy and her hateful speech. Instead focus on all the good things that are happening around you." Spike leans over and kisses my cheek. My tears slowly dry up. "Now where did those boys get to?"
Just as the words leave his mouth Draco and Harry come into the room carrying a large piece of paper.
"We are right here Papa Spike." They walk over and give me a large piece of paper. "Daddy Xander, we made you a picture. We love you and think that girl is a stupid head!" Severus, Spike and I look down at the picture. It's is a colorful collage of stickers, glitter, and marker drawn shapes. I smile at the lipstick marks and hand prints.
"Thank you, boys! This is the best pictuere I have ever gotten. This will go on our refrigerator." I hug them both tightly and place kisses on their foreheads.
"Okay boys time to go get dressed. We are going shopping for food, clothes and if you behave you will each get a toy," says Severus.
"Daddy, can Papa come with us?" Harry asks me and Draco nods his head
"I'm sorry boys but Spike has to stay here until it is dark." I hate having to them bad news.
"Actually, Albus gave me something for just this situation. "Severus reaches into his pocket and removes a large ring. "Put this on Spike."
Spike stares at the ring so long that Harry reached over and taking the ring before pushing it on Spike's finger.
"I thought Angel destroyed the only Gem of Amara?" I ask, stunned at what this ring could mean to my family.
"Angel did destroy the Gem of Amara. This is a ring that Merlin made for a vampire friend of his. It is similar to the Gem of Amara except it does not make the wearer invincible. It just allows a vampire to be in the sun without turning to dust." Severus explains.
Spike finally becomes unfrozen with a huge grin on his face. "Let's hurry up then! Everyone go get dressed so we can start our day of shopping!"
I feel these are some songs Xander could be singing to Buffy and Anya. Maybe I should have Xander call a radio show and dedicate the songs to them.

A Place For My Head
By: Linkin' Park
i watch how the
moon sits in the sky/in the dark night
shining with the light from the sun
the sun doesn't give life to the moon assuming
the moon's gonna owe it one
it makes me think of how you act to me/you do
favors and then rapidly/you just
turn around and start asking me/about
things that you want back from me
i'm sick of the tension/sick of the hunger
sick of you acting like i owe you this
find another place/to feed your greed-
while i find a place to rest
i want to be in another place
i hate when you say you don't understand
(you'll see it's not meant to be)
i want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
a place for my head
maybe someday i'll be just like you/and
step on people like you do and
run away the people i thought i knew
i remember back then who you were
you used to be calm/used to be strong
used to be generous/but you should've known
that you'd
wear out your welcome/now you see
how quiet it is/all alone/i'm so
sick of the tension/sick of the hunger
sick of you acting like i owe you this
find another place/to feed your greed-
while i find a place to rest
you try to take the best of me
go away
you try to take the best of me
GO AWAY
