Thank you everyone for reviewing the story.

Here is Chapter 11. I thought it would be nice to have Buffy, and Dawn bond with Dru. Enjoy!:)

CHAPTER ELEVEN: Bonding Time

'Bloody hell, pet she's too young to have a mate. Maybe in thirty years, or I know we can send her to a convent. She can become a nun.'

"Spike!' Buffy laughed out loud.

Lawson looked at them confused. He didn't know why Buffy started to laugh.

Buffy looked at Lawson and shrugged her shoulders.

"Ma'am you're The Slayer. Name is Sam Lawson. You have my word I will not let any harm come to Miss Dawn." Sam stated seriously.

Lawson really didn't know if Spike and Buffy would accept him. He just knew that Isabella wanted him to be here.

"I'm seriously supposed to take your word for it. Hello you are a vampire." Buffy stated putting her hands on her hips.

"Sunshine he will protect Little One. He speaks the truth." Dru said coming out to join them.

Dru looked at Sam and smiled, "Hello little brother."

Sam looked at Dru confused, and thought "little brother? What's that supposed to mean?'

"Angel beast made you in the boat under the sea. Oh you have a small spark." Dru said swaying side to side.

"Dru." Spike said.

"My dark prince he will protect my Little One. His spark is his own. He kept part of it when Angel beast made him." Dru informed them.

"If and it's a big if I let you anywhere near Dawn you can't go around killing for food." Buffy stated firmly.

"Pigs blood mate." Spike answered Lawson's confusing look.

"My prince I'm hungry."

"Bugger I've got to go get some blood for us. Come on Lawson you and I need to have a very, very long conversation." Spike said grabbing Lawson by the arm dragging him away from the house.

(Buffy and Dru)

Buffy watched the two vampires leave. She kinda felt bad for the younger vampire, because she was sure that Spike was going to threaten him one way or another. She turned to look at Dru who was still swaying to her own tune.

Buffy cleared her throat and said, "Thank you for protecting Dawnie and my mother against Angel." Buffy said quietly.

Dru tilted her head for a moment and looked at Buffy.

"Little One is precious to me."

"Why?"

"She is family like you and the rest of them. I love my family, Sunshine. Always have. I promise I will never let Angel beast or Daddy come after Little One. We are family now."

"That's just it why are you being this way?" Buffy asked.

Buffy was confused. She had always felt threaten with Dru around. Not because she was a master vampire, but because Spike had truly loved Dru once. Buffy also knew that Angel deep down inside loved Dru too.

"The pixies told me to protect my family, and I have my pretty spark back. I still have pixies whispering in my head not all at once, like before." Drusilla smiled.

Drusilla was getting her sanity back. Everything was starting to make sense again. Even her visions were clearer.

"Do you feel bad for killing all those people?" Buffy asked.

Dru tilted her head a little thinking about the question. Not really knowing how to put the words together, but she was going to try.

"I do especially the little babies. I do not know how to say the words, but I feel it here." Dru said placing her hand on her heart.

Buffy was surprised by the answer. She could hear the sincerity in Dru's voice.

"Do you like being a vampire, Drusilla?"

"Sometimes I do. Daddy made me to be with him. I am starting to remember my family, Mama, Papa, and my little sister. I can see their faces again. It hurts sometimes that I cannot be with them." Drusilla said with tears in her eyes.

"Oh." Buffy said.

"Daddy punished me. He made me see it all. I tried to tell Papa, but he thought the devil was inside me."

"You tried to tell your family? Why didn't they listen to you?" Buffy asked.

"In those times seers were thought to be witches and had the devil inside them. Papa put me in the convent to take it away. I knew Daddy was following me. I knew what he was going to do. He made me watch while he took my sister's innocence away soiling her body."

Buffy noticed Drusilla's tears and was trembling. She placed her hand on Dru's arm trying to comfort her.

"In my vision Angel beast wanted to do that to Little One. I cou- could not let that happen to her. I know what it feels like to be taken that way." Dru stated.

"I'm sorry Dru. Thank you though."

Drusilla stayed quiet tilting her head. The pixies were telling her things.

"Sunshine friends and family are coming back. They are not happy. Wolfie is very angry. Bad dark red Witch is using bad magic." Dru said.

"The pixies are whispering to you again." Buffy stated beginning to understand Dru now.

"Yes Sunshine, pixies are whispering again." Dru smiled and then she clapped her hand in joy.

"Little One is confused and worried. I must go to her."

"I'll go." Buffy said.

"Wait Sunshine please let me."

Buffy nodded her head but she was still going to go inside just in case. The olive branch was extended, but Buffy was beginning to feel the maternal instincts kick in.

"Dru you talk to her first."

Dru nodded and went into the house to find Dawn.

(Dru and Dawn)

Dawn was pacing up and down the bedroom. She was worried. She jumped a little when she heard a soft knock on her door.

"Come in."

Dru opened the door and looked into the bedroom.

"Hello Little One may I come in."

"Oh hi." Dawn said motioning her into the bedroom.

Dru smiled and walked into the room.

Dawn watched her carefully.

"Ohh you have Ssspike's eyes." Dru said smiling.

Dawn's face lit up and turned the mirror.

"Do I really?"

"I have his cheekbones too. I wonder why we didn't notice this before."

"Mmm pixies weren't ready for the secret to be known yet."

"Thanks for helping me."

Dru smiled.

"Umm Dru, do you know who that guy is?" Dawn asked curiously.

Dru smiled and giggled. She nodded her head.

"Yes Little One he's my little brother."

Dawn eyes widen 'Oh man he's a vamp. Great that's all I needed. Why do they have to be so cute?' She thought then remembered Isabella words "Your vampire mate will be of the same bloodline of your father's" 'Oh My God is it him?' She thought.

"He's a vamp right?"

"Yes, he has a spark like my dark prince and I."

"You mean he has a soul?" She asked.

"Yes the Pixies sent him to help us." Dru said clapping.

"Angelus made him?"

Dru tilted her head slightly.

"Noo Angel beast made him when all the worlds were at war and little brother was in a boat under water."

"Oh."

"Little One should not be afraid of me anymore. I will always protect you from Daddy or Angel beast."

"But you love Angel."

Dru nodded her head and said, "Yes I love Daddy, but I will love you more."

Dawn smiled.

"You aren't so scary anymore."

"Can we be friends? I had a little sister once before. You remind me of her when you are happy."

"I do?"

"Yes she had long hair like yours and I would brush it and we would play games."

Dawn thought for a moment and asked, "would you like to braid my hair?'

Drusilla smiled and clapped. She was happy her granddaughter was accepting her. They were bonding.

(Spike and Lawson)

Spike let Sam's arm go. He noticed The Allies walking towards them except Tara and Merrick. He was worried something had happen to Glenda.

"Wait here." Spike said to Lawson.

Spike walked up to Oz who seemed very angry.

"What's happened? Where are Tara and Merrick?" Spike asked.

Joyce answered, "A lot has happened William. Willow had a compulsion spell on Gil-"

"Not only Giles but did you know she had a spell on Buffy since Angelus? I don't know her anymore." Oz said interrupting Joyce.

"Yea we know Isabella showed us that." Spike said and then looked at Joyce, "Wait did you say Rupes is under a compulsion spell?"

"Yes, William, Tara ousted Willow in front of us. Tara said Giles's aura was covered in spells."

"Bugger where is Glenda?"

"She is with Merrick. Merrick won't let anything happen to her. How is Dawn?" Joyce asked.

"She's fine mum. Lawson come here." Spike said motioning Lawson to them.

Lawson walked over to Spike and The Allies.

"Mum, this is Lawson. Lawson these are The Allies. Joyce, Oz, Anya and Wesley."

"How do you do folks?"

"You're the man that saved Dawn. Thank you." Joyce said.

"Anytime Ma'am."

Joyce turned to Spike and asked, "Where are you going?"

"To go get blood Mum. Dru is hungry. I'll see you guys back at the house, yea."

"Be careful, William we still have that dinner."

"Won't take too long." Spike said walking away.

Spike and Lawson a few more blocks before they ran into Tara and Merrick.

"Spike is everything ok?" Merrick asked.

"Yes."

"Who is this? Oh he's a vampire." Tara said.

"I'm Sam Lawson Miss."

"You have an aura."

"Yes Miss."

Tara smiled and nodded her head. 'Oh this is who Isabella was talking about. Way to go Dawnie.'

"Where are you going?" Merrick asked eyeing Lawson.

"We need the blood Nibblet was supposed to bring home." Spike said.

"Oh ok we'll see you both at home then. Spike will wait till after dinner to tell what happen ok." Tara said.

"K' Glenda."

Spike and Lawson walked two more blocks to the butcher shop. Spike noticed Angel and the Scoobies were gone. He purchased the blood and made sure he got enough. They head back to the house.

"Lawson I want to know everything that Isabella told you?"

Lawson took an unneeded breathe.

"She showed me images. She gave me a mission to protect your daughter. How can you have a daughter?"

"Don't know. I know she is mine. From the moment she came into our lives I've felt this connection to her. She special and I will protect her from everything including you."

"Isabella said I have a chance at love. I've never had that. I know you will be watching me closely. I will prove to you my intentions are good." Lawson said.

"I will be watching. Just treat my girl right or else not only will you have to deal with me but her mother as well. You don't want to piss of my Slayer."

"You have my word as a Naval Officer." Lawson said.

"Lawson you do know she is still a child right? I want her to live first." Spike said seriously.

Lawson smiled and said, "I think I need to get to know her and all of you first."

"Good, I will be watching you."

Coming to an understanding they made their way to the house. Spike notice that Lawson was able to come into the house without an invite.

Buffy was sitting on the couch talking to Joyce.

"How did you come in?" She asked Lawson standing up immediately.

"Don't know pet? Think we should worry?" Spike said handing the blood to Tara.

"No, Isabella made it possible." Merrick said coming out from the kitchen.

"Foods reheated let's eat. After all this is a celebration for Spike and Buffy." Anya said called out.

"Dawnie!" Buffy called out.

"I'll heat up the blood follow me Lawson. Nibblet get you arse down here." Spike said.

"Coming!" Dawn called out giggling.

Dru and Dawn came down the stairs giggling like to little girls.

They all eat and drank congratulating Buffy and Spike on being mated. Tara had informed Buffy and Spike what had happen once they left the Scoobies. Buffy was shocked to find out that Willow was using a compulsion spell on Giles. She already knew about Willow's spell on her. Then it hit her.

"Oh my God Willow used Giles to control me. I wonder for how long." Buffy stated.

"Pet, maybe you have been wrong with Giles. Let's wait and see."

"Giles was angry. He will find out. I know I can reach him." Merrick said.

"It makes sense in a way. One moment he would be supportive and the next he wouldn't. It makes me wonder if Giles was really behind that thing with Robin Woods, Spike."

"I bet you Xander put that idea in Robin's head. Spike wasn't in his right frame of mind at the time." Dawn spoke.

"Yes I can see Xander doing that." Anya said agreeing with Dawn.

"Enough. We are going circles. Tonight is not about them but about my wife. If you excuse us I have to ravish her." Spike said getting up from the table.

"Night all." Buffy said giggling and ran up the stair, "come on Big Bad you're gonna get me."

"You little minx!" Spike said chasing her.

Buffy laughed and tried to close her bedroom door on Spike.

"Pet you're gonna get it." Spike said pulling her into his arms.

Their lips met. They ended up making love. Both fell asleep in each other's arms.

Buffy was dreaming. Uniformed men surrounding Dawn and Spike. Spike going into game face. Dawn bleeding. Two vampires coming out of nowhere fighting the uniformed men. Buffy woke up screaming.

"Pet, wake up." Spike said cradling her.

"Spike I think I had a slayer dream."

Please as always review.. Let me know what you think.

I really wanted to have a bonding moment with Dru, Buffy and Dawn. I wanted to let the readers know that Dru really does love her family.

Umm Buffy had a slayer dream. Any guesses on what is to come?
