The next morning, Buffy woke to find a note on her pillow.
Buffy,
I need some time to think. I don’t know when I’m coming home, but don’t try to look for me. I’m keeping in touch with Dawn so I wont be far. I love you and I love Erica but what you did, really hurt me.
Spike.
The letter fell from Buffy’s hands and she cried.
“Mommy?” Erica asked, opening the door.
“Yeah, Baby?” Buffy whispered, wiping her tears.
“Where’s Daddy?” Erica asked, going to her mother.
“I don’t know sweetie,” Buffy said, picking her up.
“When’s he coming home?” Erica asked.
“I don’t know honey. Why don’t you go to your room and I’ll try and call you dad,” Buffy said.
Erica climbed out of her mother’s lap and went to her room.
Buffy picked up the phone and called Dawn. “Hello?” Came Dawn’s voice.
“Dawn?” Buffy asked.
“I don’t really wanna talk to you right now,” Dawn said, coldly.
“Is he there?” Buffy asked.
“Yeah. He’s hysterical, Buffy,” Dawn said. “I have to go to class but I’ll leave the door unlocked if you guys wanna talk.”
“Thank you,” Buffy said, and let her sister go.
“Erica, we’re going to see Daddy,” Buffy said, getting dressed.
About ½ hour later, Buffy and Erica walked into Dawn’s house. “Go find Daddy,” Buffy said, closing the door.
“Daddy!” Erica yelled, going upstairs.
Mike, Dawn’s boyfriend, and Spike both came out of their rooms.
“Erica?” They both asked.
“Daddy!” Erica squealed jumping into his arms.
“What are you doing here?” Spike asked.
Buffy cautiously went upstairs and peeked around the corner. “Dawn told me you were here and I wanted to talk to you,” she said.
Spike looked up at his wife. “Did you bring Erica’s stuff for Daycare?” He asked.
“It’s in the car,” Buffy said.
“Mike can you drop her off on your way to work?” Spike asked.
“No problem. Come on Erica,” Mike said, taking her from Spike.
Buffy smiled at her daughter as they left.
Spike waited until he heard the door close. “Buffy, I’m not ready to talk to you yet,” he said, disappearing into Dawn’s guest room.
Buffy followed him but leaned against the door way. “Spike, please” she whispered.
Spike turned and looked at her. “Buffy, I told Dawn I would move out if I found out you were having an affair,” he said.
“We need to talk about this,” Buffy said.
“Buffy, I smelled someone on you!” Spike flared.
“I’m sorry,” Buffy said, desperately.
“That doesn’t make it better,” Spike said.
“I know,” Buffy said. “Spike, cant we work this out? Please?”
“I don’t know,” Spike answered. “But right now, I don’t wanna be near you.”
Tears slid down Buffy’s face. “Okay,” she said, softly. “I love you.”
Spike didn’t say anything so Buffy left.
