It was a couple of days before Spike woke up. He found himself lying in bed at the Summer's home. 'De ja vu all over again' he thought. He sat up and saw Lilly sat in the chair next to the bed with a smile on her face. He returned the smile until he saw the tears in her eyes.
"What's with the tears?" He asked pulling his daughter into his arms.
"I was so scared when you didn't come back. I thought I'd lost you again." Lilly sobbed.
"Shhh. Its ok. I'm here and I'm not guna loose you again."
"Promise?" She asked quietly.
"Promise" he replied determinedly.
The Slayer had been stood by the door, not wanting to interrupt the father-daughter moment. "You're awake." Buffy said softly. Lilly unwrapped herself from Spike and left the room leaving the slayer and the vampire to solve their problems.
"Thanks. For getting me out of there. I didn't think you would come."
"How could you think I wouldn't come for you?" She cried. Tears threatening to fall. "Spike I'm so sorry about before. I realised something when you didn't come back and I thought I might loose you." Spike raised his head hope written all over his face. "I love the way you love Dawn and Lilly. I love the fact that I know you would do anything to protect us and make us happy. I love the way you make pancakes. I even love your cockiness. I love everything about you Spike. I love you."
Spike pulled himself so he was sat on the edge of the bed facing Buffy. Before she could protest about him being up, he pulled the Slayer towards him and kissed her. Pouring all of his love and devotion for her into that kiss. "I love you too." They carried on kissing neither noticing the smiling pair standing outside the door smiling.
"Its about time." Dawn said to Lilly who just nodded in agreement. They made their way back down the stairs leaving the lovebirds to it.
