Disclaimer: Fine, I don't own B:TVS, but that doesn't stop me from wishing I did. : )

wild black fire: Thanks, I wanted something a little more...unusual. : )

Max () : I know, but a little more will be said in this chapter, that I hope will clear anything up.

Ghostwriter: I did my best with him.

Angel sumoritos: I know, he's totally sexy. And as for Riley, he sucks.

"Spike?" Corina called out, looking around the park. She gasped in surprise when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist, but then smiled when she realized it was the Spike. "Hey, I've been looking for you."

"Sorry 'bout that, your mom kicked me out," he laid his chin on her shoulder.

"Yeah, 'bout my mom," she said. "I...kinda wanna know about the whole thing, not just the short story you told me."

"All right, Love," he sighed and led her to a park bench. "I already told you about everything, except the details on...your mother. Well, it started as an obsession, to kill her..." he started.

Meanwhile

"Buffy, how could you not tell me about my daughter?" Angel asked the Slayer, trying to control his temper.

"Well...I didn't know what to say. Besides, you left me, why should I tell you?" Buffy had enough trouble not killing Spike, she didn't need Angel on her about this at the moment.

"You know I couldn't stay, I might have become Angelus," he answered. "But she's my daughter-" Willow and the others quietly left while they were talking.

"Angel, I get it, but she's my daughter too, and forgive me for not thinking her vampiric father the best thing for her."

"But-"

"Look, Angel, I loved you, but you left me, three times, and I couldn't be sure you'd stay when you had a daughter."

"Buffy," Angel looked at her with saddened eyes, "how could you think that?"

"I was still in shock that a vampire could have babies, and afterwards, it was just...easier to not talk about it," Buffy whispered. Angel went over to hug and make her feel better, but she pushed him away. "Just go, I need to think about something."

"All right," he nodded and started to leave. "Just, I don't want our daughter dating Spike, Ok?" He added before leaving. She had to smile at his last comment, but shook it off and wandered to the kitchen. She held her head in her hands and took a few deep breathes to relax herself.

"Buffy, are you all right?" She heard a familiar voice she hadn't heard in a while.

"Dawn?" She looked at her sister with a watery smile. "What are you doing here?"

"Willow just called and told me what happened. Hard to believe Spike's with Cori," the younger woman hugged her sister.

"Yeah," Buffy leaned on her sister. "It was the weirdest thing ever. I mean, the last time I saw him I told him I loved him."

"I know, I know," Dawn hugged her sister. "But hey, how did Angel handle it?"

"Well, I think he wanted to kill Spike," Buffy smiled.

"You know, I kind of missed him at first, he was almost like a brother to me," Dawn shrugged.

"I wish Mom was here, she'd be able to give us some advice," Buffy sighed.

"I know, but she seemed to like him," Dawn reminded her. "If that helped."

"Not really, but thanks," the blonde rested her head on her sister's shoulder. "And Angel's mad about me not telling him about Cori, so I have to deal with that."

"That sounds like fun."

"Tell me about it," Buffy rolled her eyes. "But I still want Cori to break up with Spike."

"Maybe it's a mother thing," Dawn said thoughtfully.

"What, hate all boyfriends?"

"Yeah," Dawn smiled. "Maybe Laci can talk to her," she suggested. "I mean, they are cousins."

"That might work," Buffy smiled gratefully to her sister. "Thanks."

"No problem," Dawn's cellphone rang. "Hello? Honey, I'll be home in a while...fine, just a minute," she pressed the phone against her shirt. "I'm really sorry, but I gotta get home," she told Buffy. "I promise to come back tomorrow, all right?"

"Yeah, of course," Buffy followed her sister to the door. "I can't wait."

Back At The Park

"And then she left," Spike ended the story.

"Wait, what happened then? Your soul just left, or-" Cori asked.

"No, it just burned enough to kill a human, not a vampire," he explained.

"Awesome," Cori nodded, then looked at him seriously. "But is it ok if I just have a while to get used to this?"

" 'Course, Love," he nodded. "I think it's gonna take awhile for everyone to get used to it."

"Ya think?" She grinned and gave him a peck on the cheek. "I'll come over to the basement in a few days."

"All right," he pulled her into a hug. "I'll wait, just don't be too long."

And that's the end of chapter 6. Hoped you liked it: )
