~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was Spike's first Christmas since he ended up in Wolfram & Hart. He knew he would probably end up going to the Christmas party that Lorne was putting on, but he didn't know if he would be able to enjoy it. He knew a few people like Angel, Fred, Wesley, Gunn, Lorne, and Harmony. They were the only people who trusted him, well Angel probably didn't, but he would have to deal with him since he wasn't going to leave. Fred was the only one who understood him, but she wasn't the woman he wanted to spend Christmas with, he wanted Buffy. Fred wasn't even alive anymore so if he needed to talk to her he couldn't. All that Spike really had to remind him of Fred was Illyria and she wasn't always the most cheery person and didn't really like to hold a conversation. Even though he didn't need the sleep he decided he would just close his eyes and maybe get some rest and in doing this he ended up drifting off to sleep.
Spike woke to the sound of a girl laughing, but because he didn't recognize the laugh he decided to open his eyes. He found it was a little girl with brown hair and hazel eyes that reminded him of Buffy.
"Good morning, honey. Sorry Susan wanted to wake you up and you should of seen the look on her face when I first told her no it would have made your heart break." Buffy said smiling as the little girl, known as Susan, hugged Spike.
"Daddy, are we going to get the tree today before Uncle Liam and Aunt Cordelia come?" Susan asked smiling brightly.
"Daddy might not want to today he wasn't feeling well last night. How are you feeling by the way?" Buffy asked and Spike suddenly noticed that he had a sore throat and headache.
"I think I have a sore throat and headache." Spike said looking confused but Buffy didn't seem to notice.
"Looks like you have a fever this morning. I'll take Susan and we'll go prepare for your brother and his family." Buffy said feeling his forehead and then getting Susan off the bed.
"Can I please stay here with Daddy, Mommy?" she asked and she got the same pout face that he had seen Buffy have so many times.
"You should let him get some rest, sweetie. How about you see if Peter's awake let Jimmy sleep though. I don't think he'd appreciate you barging in on him." Buffy said although she knew Susan would still go in and Jimmy really wouldn't mind.
"Sleep tight, honey. Feel better. If you need anything I'll be downstairs." Buffy said as she walked out the room falling Susan.
*What the bloody heck just happened? How in the world do I have three children and am I married to Buffy? Who is Liam? I've heard of that name but I can't place it, I've heard of Cordelia, but I'm not sure about Liam.* Spike thought to himself. He was very confused but could feel sleep coming upon him strong so he let sleep come.
"William James, get your butt down here!" Buffy yelled up the stairs.
"Coming!" came the only response before a tall boy with dark brown curls and bright blue eyes came running down the stairs.
"I know it's Christmas break but your report card just came and what the heck happened." Buffy said exasperated.
"Right, if I said I was deeply upset about Grandma Jenny dying would you let it pass?" the boy asked hopefully.
"Jimmy, I don't think so. It's been six months and you've been fine so I think that excuse isn't going to pass." Buffy said sternly. He ended up tilting his head in the same way his father did. Buffy knew she couldn't stay mad at him when he did this and he knew it too so he did it whenever he got in trouble with her.
"Just make sure you get them back up. It's your senior year and you want to end strong." Buffy said smiling. Suddenly two kids came darting in.
"Mom, Susan won't let me soldier." A boy with blond hair and hazel-green eyes said.
"Susie, why won't you let your brother play?" Buffy asked Susan who had her hair in pigtails.
"Peter keeps shooting at Mr. Stuffy." Susan said almost in tears. Mr. Stuffy was her favorite teddy bear.
"Mr. Stuffy was the bad guy." Peter explained.
"Was not."
"Was to."
"Was not."
"Was to."
"Will you two stop it? You're going to wake your dad." Buffy said hoping the two would stop bickering for at least two minutes.
"To late. Already awake, luv." Spike said coming into the kitchen.
"Sorry. Do you want anything? Soup maybe?" Buffy asked as Spike sat down at the table.
"I'm good. I might go back upstairs in a few but I just wanted to say hello to everyone." Spike said although he wanted to do more than say hello he wanted to see whom the two other kids were.
"Alright. Jimmy was wondering if he could take Peter and Susan to get a tree. I know you love doing that with them, but with your brother and his family are coming and I thought it would be better to get the tree." Buffy said and that's when Spike realized Jimmy was the oldest and Peter the younger one.
"I guess that would be fine. Are you going or staying?" Spike asked hoping she would be staying.
"Staying got some things to do. How about you head back up you look really tired." Buffy said and Spike knew he shouldn't argue with her.
"See you later. When's Liam coming?" Spike asked wanting to see whom his so-called brother was.
"In about four hours. If you want I can call him and ask him if he, Cordelia, and Connor can stay at a hotel tonight." Buffy said looking at him with the caring look he knew so well even though it was often not pointed at him although the last time he saw her, before ending up in Wolfram & Hart, she had it pointed at him and that made him feel for her even more even though he knew he was never going to see her again.
"No, they'll be fine. I might not be around much tonight or even tomorrow but they can come here tonight." Spike said and Buffy nodded and then Spike went back upstairs.
