"Spikey, can I have Chocolate Fudge Mint Chip?" the little girl as at she pulled at his duster.
"Anything for you munkin." He smiled.
"She your daughter?" the cashier asked.
"No dat's my big brother." Miracle answered for Spike.
"Oh how cute."
"Thanks." Spike replied and gave Miracle her ice cream. "Come on kid, let's find mommy."
Buffy was sitting at a table waiting for Spike to get back with her ice cream. She felt a tingle in the pit of her stomach, a feeling she hadn't had in years, a feeling she only got when 'HE' was around.
"Buffy?" She heard a voice behind her. 'HIS' voice. Buffy turned and came face to face with, "Angel."
Hi, How are…" he was cut off by a little girl rushing to Buffy, and ice cream cone in her hand, and an all to familiar voice yelling 'Miracle' behind her.
"Spike?"
"Angel." Spike said calmly. He handed Buffy her ice cream. "Her you go love."
"Thanks Spike."
"Mommy, who's dat?" Miracle asked pointing to Angel.
"Miracle honey, this is Angel. Angel his is Miracle, my daughter."
"Hi", the little girl said shyly as she moved closer to Spike.
"Hello sweetie", he said to the little girl. He then turned to Buffy. "So Buffy… how have you been?" Angel asked as though this news wasn't as shocking as it was.
Spike looked at Buffy. He could tell she wasn't ready for this. "Luv, its getting late and I need to go patrol." He looked at the yawning little girl and picked her up. "And our little Miss over here looks tired."
Miracle laid her head on Spike's shoulder, nodding and yawning at the same time.
"Okay um…I have to go. It was good to see you Angel. Bye." She turned around to Miracle and stretched her arms out. "Want to give Spike back his arms?"
Miracle just shook her head no. "Can I stay Spike?" She looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Of course munkin. Come on luv. Bye Angel."
With one last look at Angel they left.
