A/N: Ok I know this is on the Angel category he'll come in soon. I just needed to set up the William/Dawn relationship. Isn't little Spike so cute! Oh and I don't know if this will be the Spangel you're looking for? You'll just have to wait and see… (And the phone conversation takes place Monday afternoon, and last chapter was in the wee hours of Sunday morning.)
A/N: Sorry this update took forever. But I'm happy to finish my third week of school. And I guess I seem to hate myself, 3 AP classes.
Thanks to reviewers: SpikingJennsAngel, MarieP, Night Essence, Melovespikey24, Angeloholic, dark huntress, loz.
Dark Huntress- thank you so much, no one has ever sent a review just to tell me to hurry up. It was just the push I needed. And the pairing just might be :)
Chapter 3: Little Boy Blue
Sunday 12:00 PM Sunnydale
Dawn woke up with a sleeping William clinging to her. He was sleeping blissfully sucking his right thumb, and was covered in his newly acquired nightshirt that left his cubby legs exposed. Dawn gingerly untangled herself from him as she got out of bed. She figured letting him sleep for a few more minutes would give her time to wash up and get dressed. After William had brushed his fangs, Dawn found him a fresh pink shirt and little white underwear. Who knew her mother was such a pack rat?
William barreled down the stairs in front of Dawn. Dawn's heart skipped a beat as she saw William jump half the stare case in a single leap. Luckily Tara was at the bottom, and caught him. "William! You shouldn't jump down the stairs, you could hurt yourself."
"Nuh-uh I'm a vampy. They can go fast, wont hurt." William replied with a sweet smirk that looked so Spike-like it was scary.
"Dawn would you get William something to eat, there's fresh blood in the fridge. I'm going to the Magic Box. Willow's working there with Anya. Xander's on his way, I told him William probably needs some clothes. You just need to cover him up in the car then he'll be fine at the store." Tara said half way out the front door.
"What, oh no I don't mind at all. Nope nothing to do, not like I'm a grown-up. You lead very important lives, which taking care of a three year old would complicate." Dawn said to the empty room as she groaned taking Will to the kitchen.
Sunday 3:00 PM Magic Box
"None of these reversal spells have worked. And we've tried almost all of them." Willow said as her head hit the table. Anya walked from behind the cash register. "Yes and you have used many of my supplies, and driven off my paying customers. Well what if it isn't a spell?"
"What do you mean, like a curse?" Tara said from the end of the counter. "Yes a curse or a demon, or fairies I don't know." Anya said as she put back vials on the shelves from the table. "Maybe we should start to research anything that can, manipulate age, or size. I mean what is actual wrong with him? Is William Spike when he was a human child, or Spike just kid size?" Willow's question was interrupted by the loud thump of Xander dropping his bags on the floor.
He was followed by Dawn caring a large black polyester lump. As she set it on the floor the black parka cover was hiding a now more stylish little William. He was wearing little black converse high tops, dark wash jeans, and he kept his pink T-shirt. Because Williams curls where getting in his eyes Dawn had put two little pony tails on him to keep it back. By now Xander had pulled out his second disposable camera, and William seemed to relish the attention.
"Oh my goddess …he looks so cute, maybe we shouldn't change him back?" Willow chuckled as William rummaged through his remaining bags of toys and clothes. The look everyone gave Willow quickly answered her question. "Xander you bought all of this for him?" Anya said as she picked up a receipt off the floor. She then looked at Dawn who also had some new items.
"What? We both came out with what we wanted. He bought me and William stuff and Xander gets to take all the pictures he wants." Dawn said as she was taking the hanging tags off of one of Will's new toys.
"This seems kind of a bum deal now, but I know the reward is going to come later." Xander said as he ducked the vase Anya through at his head.
A/N: Sorry for such a short chapter. Thanks for everyone who stuck with me for this and other stories. Effulgence and Whatnot we be concluded within the next week (give or take). And I'm just really stuck with where Coming Home Again is going. Any suggestions? (Oh and the pony tails not just a cute thing. My mom and aunt would always make my cousin a sumo wrestler ponytail during the summer. lol)
