Ok not long now a couple more chapters and then it'll all be over so enjoy. I hope you like how I end it as I have had trouble thinking of a decent ending.

Chapter 9 – Another dream

That morning Buffy opened her eyes to a bright room, her room at her mothers house, the sun was shining through the window illuminating the room with a arm glow. A small smile creeps onto her face as she sits up in bed and stretches,

"Here we go again," she says as she gets out of bed and begins her morning routine of washing, dressing, and hair. She smiles satisfied with how she looks then heads down stairs, filling the entire bottom floor of the house was the smell of pancakes, and many different flavours of toppings,

"Morning," she says as she walks into the kitchen to find Dawn sitting on a stall eating a plate full of pancakes with strawberry sauce lemon juice and blueberry toppings on each, Anya was helping Joyce serve the pancakes while Joyce herself finished making them,

"Good morning sweetie, how you feeling this morning?" she asks as she does every morning since Buffy woke from her coma, Buffy smiles and sits down next to Dawn taking her plate of pancakes,

"OK, I had a lovely dream last night," she blurts out without thinking,

"Oh, what about?" Joyce asks, Anya siles widely,

"Was it a sex dream, there the best kind," Dawn rolls her eyes having got used to Anyas obsession with sex from the years that nya had lived there, Buffy smiles softly,

"No Ayn, Spike was in it," and with that everything stopped, Anya stopped serving, Joyce stopped Making and Dawn stopped eating. Buffy looked round at them questioningly, "What?" she asks innocently, Joyce sighs and walks round to her daughter,

"Sweet heart, I'm worried about all these dreams about Spike, it seems he's all you dream about now, I think I'd be best if… if you went to see a psychiatrist" Buffy frowns at the suggestion then looks at her sister and Anya who appear to be in agreement,

"What? Just because I am dreaming about the man I was going to marry before I was put into a coma you want me to go see a shrink," she says angrily. Joyce shakes her head,

"No sweet heart, it's just, when you were in a coma you were dreaming bout him we just don't… we don't want you to go back into a coma because of these dreams," she explains. Buffy frowns a little confused,

"Could that happen?" she asks interested. Joyce closes her eyes sadly,

"I spoke to the doctor the other day when you first told us about your dreams, he said that because your mind was playing your life out how you wanted it in your coma, if the need was great enough your mind could shut down again, you could slip back into a coma." By now Buffy was speechless, her mind was thinking so many different thoughts that she couldn't focus on any of them, "Buffy?" her mum prompts, Buffy shakes her head trying to pull herself out of all her thoughts,

"Yes, yes sorry. Ok."

"Great you're booked for Wednesday at 3:30pm" Joyce says happily and gets back to finishing breakfast. Buffy just nods her head slightly and a faint smile appears on her lips.
