Spike laid Kary I bed and kissed her forehead. Buffy did the same and followed him downstairs.
“Honey, you okay?” Buffy asked, going over to him.
“She scared me is all,” Spike said.
“I saw ‘hospital’ on the paper and feared the worst,” Buffy said, sitting on the couch.
“I didn’t have time to write you a whole note and I figured you’d get the message,” he said, sitting next to her.
Buffy leaned into his side. “I got a very interesint phone call today at work,” she said.
“From who?” Spike asked, kissing the top of her hair.
“Riley,” Buffy said, and Spike tensed next to her. “When I answered I used my married name like I always do. He didn’t have too much to say when I told him I was married with two girls.”
“Does he know its me?” Spike asked.
“He didn’t give me time to say,” Buffy said. “I wanted Kathy at Dawn’s in case something happens. Conner’s good at taking care of them.?”
“Yeah, I know,” Spike grumbled.
“Why are you huffy? I thought you like Conner,” Buffy said.
“I do,” Spike said. “But it seems like yesterday, I was protecting her from a hell god and now she’s all grown up and doesn’t need me protecting her.”
“You have 2 girls who need you to protect them.” Buff pointed out.
“Yeah, I know,” Spike said, smiling.
“Mommy? Daddy?” Came Kary’s voice from the stairs.
Spike stood up and went over to the stairs. “What’s wrong baby?” He asked.
“Night mare,” Kary mumble. “Can I stay with you and mommy?”
Buffy smiled and turned off the living room lights. “Come on, baby,” she said, locking the door. “Lets go to bed.”
Spike scooped his daughter and took Buffy’s hand. The three of them went to Buffy and Spike’s room and Kary was asleep by that time.
Gently Spike laid he rdown and Buffy put on her night gown. “Spike, she has nightmares an awful lot,” she said.
“Yeah, I know,” Spike said, taking off his pants, leaving his boxers. “She’s never been able to tell me what they’re about.”
Buffy and Spike laid down on either side of their daughter and wrapped their arms around her. “Tomorrow, I’m gunna ske her,” Buffy said.
Spike smiled and kissed Buffy’s lips softly. “Get some sleep, Pet,” he said, softly.
Buffy closed her eyes. “Goodnight, Spike,” she whispered.
Spike watched over his girls and when he was sure they were asleep, he allowed himself to sleep as well.
