Chapter Six

Spike looked down at the sleeping Alex. He felt so bad for him. He hadn't been able to fall asleep without Spike in the room. He had also asked Xander to stay but he had to go home to get some rest. So Spike stayed with Alex.

"G' night," Spike whispered before he went downstairs.

Spike found Joyce in the kitchen. She looked horrible.

"Where did everyone go?" Spike asked.

Joyce looked up from her tea.

"Faith went on Patrol. I sent Dawn and Giles to bed. Willow, Tara, and Cordelia went back to their dorms," replied Joyce.

Spike took a seat across from Joyce.

"How are you holding up?" Spike asked.

Joyce took a sip of her tea.

"Not well. I haven't seen her in seven years and now when I may get her back she's in a coma."

Joyce sighed. She stood up and put her cup in the sink.

"I'm going to go to bed. I doubt I'll get much sleep though."

Joyce left the room and headed upstairs. Spike went over to the fridge and was about to take out a bag of blood to heat up when he heard Alex scream a blood-curdling scream. Spike ran as fast as he could and was the first one in Buffy's old room. Spike sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Shh Alex. Your safe."

Alex opened his eyes and saw Spike. He wished that he had his mommy. Spike pulled Alex into a hug in which Alex cried. Spike looked up and saw Joyce, Giles, and Dawn in the doorway.

"Don't worry. I can handle this. You can all go back to bed," Spike promised them.

They all nodded and went back to bed. Even though Spike doubted any of them were going to get back to sleep. Alex soon cried himself back to into a dreamless sleep. Spike tucked him into bed and sat next to it in a chair. He stayed up most of the night in case Alex had any more night terrors.
