MysticWolf1- thanks so much for giving me your honest criticism, it only makes a better writer. I have run into some of those same problems as well, when dealing with the Dawn/Connor & Spike/Angel typical relationships. The main reason I tend to see the Spangel pairing is that it's less of an extremely romantic, passionate, relationship but the fine line between love and hate. It seems that the relationship between Spike and Angel is the only semi-healthy relationships either of the two has ever had in over 100 years. And you have it ask, like Angel did, if they hated each other that much why didn't Spike just leave?
Chapter 6: He's not a mini-Spike
Monday 10:00 PM LA
The trip had been pretty uneventful, a few potty stops and a little chocolate milk. At the start of the trip William had proved a little restless, but the car ride had lulled him to sleep on Dawn's lap. She listened to her CD player and absently stroked William's blond curls. Dawn didn't realize how much she needed Spike until he wasn't there. Without him Dawn was once again ignored, hell they almost forgot her and William at the gas station.
"Ok Xander take a right down this street, do you see 67778 on any of the buildings?" Willow asked looking at the address that Angel gave her.
"Um no, but I do see a giant old hotel with Wesley standing outside it. It's a pretty safe bet we're here." Xander said as he brought the car to a stop.
"Willow, Xander. Angel told me you where coming. He said you had a small Spike problem." The now rugged English man asked.
"Well you could say that." Willow responded as she motioned for Dawn and William to get out of the car. "Is that who I think it is?" Wesley said with a perplexed face.
Willow led the way into the hotel, Dawn and William trailing behind Wesley. At first Wesley was surprised Angel would call him for help, but he knew he was the foremost expert on William the Bloody and Angelus. "Willow was the trip ok. Where's…" Angel said coming out from behind the counter and gave Willow a quick hug. He stopped dead in his tracks (no pun intended) when he saw Dawn put down the little blond boy who was running towards him.
"Daddy!" shrieked the little boy who hurled himself into Angel's arms, almost successfully knocking him down.
"Angel! This is not that funny, this is serious. Spike could be stuck like this!" Willow said with her serious face, seemingly un-amused by Angel's uncontrollable laughter.
"Da, are you laughing at me?" William said his eyes brimming with tears.
"No, er… Will. Would never laugh at you, my love." Angel said kissing William on the forehead. William was satisfied enough with that answer to rest his head on Angel's chest.
"Oh, come on. Really, do we have to change him back?" Angel pleaded.
A/N: I know short chapter but needed to bridge the gap. Hope it was what you wanted. I mean come on who wouldn't want a little Spike. So please Review!
