Spike walked through the front door. “I’m home!” He called.
Erica came running out of the kitchen. “Hi Daddy!” She squealed.
“Hey baby. How’s my little girl?” Spike asked, scooping his daughter up.
“Hey Spike,” Dawn said, coming out of the kitchen.
Spike brows drew together. “Hey Dawn. Where’s Buffy?” He asked.
“I don’t know. She just asked me if I could baby-sit and I didn’t ask questions,” Dawn
said. “Erica was waiting for Daddy before she went to bed.”
Spike smiled. “Well lets get my little girl to bed. Do you have class in the morning?” he asked.
“9:00,” Dawn said.
“We’ll go home and get some sleep. You look exhausted,” Spike said.
“I wanna talk to you about something before I go,” Dawn said.
Spike looked at his daughter and she was nodding off. “I’ll be right back,” he said, going upstairs.
A few minutes later, Spike came down and sat next to Dawn. “What’s wrong?” He asked.
“I think Buffy’s having an affair with someone,” Dawn said, softly.
Spike looked at her with hurt in his eyes. “What makes you think that?” He asked.
“When I ask her how you guys are doing she gets this guilty look in her eyes. She used to tell me all about you and Erica. Now its just ‘fine’,” Dawn said.
Spike stood up and moved away from her.
“Spike,” Dawn said, going toward him. “I’m sorry. Just talk to her, because I don’t want you hurt.”
Spike looked at her with tenderness. “If it’s true, then I’ll move out. I wont go too far because of Erica and you,” he said, pushing her hair back. “Go home and get some sleep.”
“I’ll call and check in tomorrow,” Dawn said, kissing his cheek before leaving.
About 15 minutes after Dawn left, Buffy came home.
“It’s late,” Spike said, from the living room.
Buffy walk over to him. “What are you still doing up?” She asked, smiling at him.
“Waiting for you,” Spike said, evenly as he sniffed the air. “So Dawn wasn’t lying?”
“About what?” Buffy asked.
“Buffy, I can smell someone else on you,” Spike said, softly.
Buffy crossed her arms. “Spike..”
“No. This is gunna end up with us fighting and Erica just got to sleep,” he said, going upstairs.
Buffy closed her eyes as tears slid down her cheeks. “Oh god,” she whispered.
After a few minutes, she went upstairs and climbed into bed. Alone.
