Chapter Nine
"Can Spike be my new daddy?" Alex asked innocently.
Buffy and Spike fell silent. Neither of them knew what to say. The question had caught them off guard. Especially Buffy. She had never seen Spike in that light, but now that she thought about she did have some kind of feelings for Spike. But she hadn't known what they were. Not until Alex had asked that simple question. Well the question was simple to him. To Buffy it had been more complex. She thought about all the nice things Spike had done for them. Taking care of Alex while she was in the hospital. Staying with him while he had nightmares. Listening to Buffy when she had a problem. Maybe she did like him. But how could she like him. He was a vampire and she was the slayer. Then she was reminded of Angel. The father of her child. But he had a soul.
"Umm…." Was all Buffy could say.
"I'm tired mommy," Alex said forgetting about his question or Buffy hoped he would.
"Then let's go home sweetie."
Spike got up and paid for the check before Buffy could. He then walked the two back to their hotel room. The whole was they were quiet. Alex played with his model dinosaurs ahead of them. When they got into the hotel room. Alex ran to get his pajama's on and brush his teeth. When he was in the bathroom.
"Thanks for dinner," Buffy said.
"No problem Love."
Buffy sighed and looked at the ground. She was nervous around Spike. This had to be a sign of her feelings.
"Look I'm sorry if Alex's question made you uncomfortable."
Spike waved off the apology.
"I don't mind pet," Spike grinned.
Before Buffy could say anything more Alex came out and went over to Spike.
"Can you tuck me in?" Alex asked Spike.
Spike smiled down at Alex.
"Sure."
Buffy watched from the living room as Spike tucked in Alex. He even told him a story. Something Alex hadn't asked anyone in a while. Buffy realized what was happening. She was falling in love with Spike. But she didn't know what she should do about it. When Spike came out of the room she was still deciding whether or not she should tell him or whether or not it was true.
"You okay Love?" Spike asked taking a seat next to Buffy.
Buffy knew what she should do.
"I think I am."
She then turned to face him and kissed. Spike was surprised but it didn't take him long to return the kiss.
"What was that for Pet?" Spike asked when they broke apart.
"I think it's obvious."
She kissed him again.
"I think I could get used to this," Spike told her.
"Me too."
