" Darla" A five year old William called as he ran to his sister's study, he stopped in front of her door because it was close and because he new better.

Darla was seated at her desk reading a Latin text when she heard her youngest brother call for her, and from the sounds of it he was crying. Darla sighed and put the text away; her studies would have to wait she thought. She then got up and went to open her door. The moment her door was open a sobbing William threw himself at his sister and sobbed into her knees. Darla looked down at her little brother she then picked him up and brought him over to her chair.

"Willy what's wrong?"

She asked as he finally started to calm. William was sitting on his sister lap with his face buried in her shoulder. Darla then brought his face to meet hers the first thing she saw shocked her. Her youngest brother had a rather deep gash in his left eyebrow; she wiped his tears away and asked him again. William looked at her sheepishly and started to fumble with something in his hands, Darla, noticed that it was his glasses which were broken.

"Wells Liam saids he would plays with me and he didn't ands I askes whys ands he says ists…. He punched my gwasses bwoked and me and I hurt. Seeeeee" William finished pointing to his left eyebrow.

Darla saw red. How dare Liam, but then again Liam being ten was rather rambunctious, and hated his little brother. Darla was the oldest she had just turned fifteen and she made it her job to protect her youngest brother at all times, but sometimes Liam would let something like… this happen.

"Oh Willy does it hurt much?" He nodded solemnly. Darla sighed again as she began to clean his wound. A few moments later when she was finished she took a look at her brother. William was always described as adorable and was given Liam's nickname angel. Liam was no angel but his middle name was Angelus, which meant Angel in Latin. William looked like an angel their mother would often say. Her little angel, that's why his middle name was Gabriel. Their mother also said that he was her little angel sent from God. If Darla remembered correctly he was not a fussy baby at least not as fussy as Liam was. Oh yes Darla thought she definitely remembered sleeping more when William came. William was a sweet heart, a charmer. With his almost white blonde hair with natural golden highlights. His hair was medium length and curled right on his shoulders. His eyes were similar to hers but changed with his various moods bright blue when happy and grey when sad. Every young lady in the court loved William and often Liam got jealous.

There father was an earl and they were a royal family. Liam looked a lot like there father with his brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, he would be a looker when he grew up, Darla admitted. William and Darla looked so much alike; they looked just like their mother who had fair hair not quite as light as William's but a suppler golden blonde like Darla's. Their mother too had blue eyes, but just like William's they changed color with her moods.

Darla knew that his eyebrow would scar. She also new that her mother would be quite cross with Liam when she found out somebody hurt her angel. Thinking of their mother Darla realized that their marriage was in jeopardy of splitting. They fought more often than ever. They thought no one noticed not only did she notice but she also knew William knew something was up, he was less happy. Little did Darla know that her mother was secretly divorcing her father and moving to the states?

"Who was that?" Buffy asked as Spike left in hot pursuit of the cheater.

Both willow and Anya shrugged their shoulders, Buff then glanced at Gunn who was looking uneasy.

"You know something don't you?" Buffy asked. Gunn looked at his almost coworker and answered.

"That's his brother"

"Hello little brother" Liam stated calmly. Spike clenched his jaw it was just like his older brother to be so narcissistic.

"What the bloody hell are you doing here?" Spike asked in a dead calm.

"What? I can't visit my little brother whom I love so much" Liam said smirking.

"Please, save the bloody bull crap. You never loved me." Spike spat vehemently.

"Believe what you want to little brother but I loved you very much, even if I did not show it." Spike just looked at his older brother.

"Listen you dolt, stealing from a casino is a serious offence. But since you are family," On family Spike eyed his brother up and down "I will not press charges. However I will be taking the money you stole and asking you to kindly leave and not come back…ever."

Liam nodded in agreement he then said,

"Listen William, you are needed in England."

"What the court needs you to make an appearance and Darla, well she's pregnant."

William nodded in understanding he knew his sister wanted to have a baby but had no husband or boyfriend. She proclaimed her self to be to busy to have either. William smiled to himself, busy all right but she is not too busy to take care of a child.

"Ok so when?"

"In about four months there's a ball in favor of prince Charles fiancé."

"I'll be there"

"Thank you Will"

"I'm not doing it for you I'm doing it out of respect for my father. I don't care if you are a shitty earl or not"

Liam sighed he guessed he did deserve the hostility that was being thrown at him from his younger sibling, growing up he did treat him like shit.

"Alright Will I'll expect to hear from you."

Will nodded in agreement.

"I'll send some one to show you out" Spike said as he left the room.

"Um Spike may I come in?" Spike picked his head up from his desk to see Buffy standing in the doorway. He noticed she had a genuine look of concern on her face. Spike nodded and rested his head back on the desk. Buffy came in and sat down on a chair in front of his desk. After a few moments of silence he began to speak his voice muffled by the desk.

"I haven't seen him in about 2 years you know. He's my older brother and also my least favorite out of all my siblings. I love both my sisters to death really-" he was cut off by Buffy's sudden question.

"Two sisters?"

"Oh yeah there's Darla and Cordelia. You already know that Darla's the eldest, but Cordy is my baby sis."

"Oh"

"Yeah my family was pretty weird. I guess it's because were royal. My dad was an earl and as tradition goes the title is passed on to the next eldest son or if not male in the family. So that means my ass of a brother is earl. But you know what the funny thing is, when my father passed away he gave my brother the title but me he fortune. That's why I have this casino I wanted to invest the money my father gave me."

Buffy nodded it seemed as though if you let Spike speak he would tell you every thing.

The silence was interrupted by Spike's phone ringing.

"Hello" spike said as he answered the phone

"Cordy where are you?" Spikes face was filled with concern.

"You what? Cordelia Reona Tabors how the- oh bloody hell I'll be there as fast as I can stay out of trouble."

Spike was clenching his jaw and looking for his car keys.

"Um Spike where are you going" Buffy asked timidly. Spike looked over at Buffy and ran his hands through his hair.

"I'm going to bail my sister out," he said calmly.
