Chapter 20

*****

‘Sunnydale Airport’

“Rupert I don’t thi sho should be here.” Buffy said as she Giles and Spike walked towards the gate that Anne and Drusilla’s flight was scheduled to come in at.

Giles turned to face Buffy. “You’re my wife, of course you should be here.”

“But this is more of a reunion type thing, and I don’t feel right about being here.” Buffy tried to explain.

“You’ll have to meet them sooner or later.” Spike added.

“Then I pick later. They’re probably both really, really tired from the long flight, and won’t be in the mood to meet anyone new just yet.” Buffy said trying to get them to let her leave before Anne or Drusilla got to the airport.

“Dru loves meetin’ new people, and I’m sure Mum will want to meet you as soon as she fines out you’re married to my dad.”

“You haven’t told her yet?” Buffy asked in shock.

“I thought it’d be best if William waited until Anne got here.” Giles explained.

“This was your doing?” Buffy asked as she turned to face Giles.

‘Well, yes.” Giles answered.

“I can’t believe you. You don’t just spring something like this on a person. What are you planning on saying, ‘Hello, how was your flight? By the way this is my wife, who happens to be younger than our own son.’”

“Buffy you’re over worrying yourself for no reason. Everything will be fine.”

“Fine for you maybe. But the minute she finds out who I am, I’ll become this gold-digging slut who only married you for one reason.”

“Anne will think no such thing.” Giles stated.

“She will if she’s anything like her son.” Buffy mumbled.

“What!?” Giles asked in shock as he looked between the two blondes.

“Luv I thought we moved past that.” Spike stated.

“What are you two talking about?” Giles questioned.

“When your son first came to town he thought I only married you for you money.” Buffy explained.

“William?”

“It was a misunderstanding, one in which I thought we worked out.”

“We did. I’m sorry, I’m just a little panicky.”

“Don’t be.”

“William’s right, you have nothing to worry about.”

“That’s easy for you to say, she likes both of you.” Buffy muttered.

“She’ll like you too.” Spike whispered into her ear as they continued walking to the gate.

‘The Plane’

“I think I’m going to like it here very much.” Drusilla said as she looked out of the window.

“And why’s that Dear?” Anne asked.

“Because the stars are already telling me so many new and interesting things.”

“Drusilla you promised me you wouldn’t talk about the stars once we left England.” Anne said with a sigh.

“That was before I knew they would have so many wonderful things to tell me Mother.” Drusilla replied as she turned to face Anne.

“At least don’t do it in public anymore, people will think you’re crazy. You remember what happened the last time you were talking about the stars.”

“I promise Mother, I’ll only talk about them while I’m at home and only when you and my William are around.”

“That’s all I ask.” Anne said as she looked down at the magazine in her lap.

“Would you like to know what they’re saying about William?” Drusilla asked in a low whisper leaning to her mother’s side.

“What do they say about you brother?” Anne asked not wanting to hurt her daughter’s feelings.

A smile curled on Drusilla’s lips. “That his thoughts are surrounded by a golden angel.”

“Has William met someone?” Anne asked turned to fully face her daughter.

“Yes, but who he’s met and who he wants are not the same.” Drusilla explained.

“What are you saying Drusilla?” Anne questioned.

“It’s going to be one hell of a show.” Drusilla stated before turning to look back out the window.

‘Airport Waiting Area’

“What did they say?” Giles asked as Spike walked back over to where he and Buffy were seated.

“That their flight just landed and they should be at the gate in a few minutes.” Spike explained taking a seat on the other side of Buffy.

“Wonderful.”

“Pet you alright?” Spike asked in a low voice as he leaned closer to Buffy.

“Fine.” Buffy whispered back looking off in the distant.

“You’re lookin’ a little pale.”

“I’m fine.” Buffy repeated.

Spike reached for his bottle of water and handed it to her. “Here, drink some of this. The last thing we want is you paain’ out on us.”

“That wouldn’t be so bad.” Buffy said before taking a sip of the water.

Spike laughed at her joke. “Sure it would. You’d only end up hittin’ your head on the fall, not to mention the fact that who knows what’s on this floor.

A smile spread across Buffy’s face. “Thank you.” She whispered.

“Any time.” Spike whispered back.

“William they’re here.” Giles stated as he turned to face his wife and son.

“Oh god!” Buffy gasped as Spike helped her to her feet.

“Just remember to breath and everything will be fine.” Spike whispered into her ear.

“If you say so.”

“I do.” Spike stated before turning to look in the direction people were exiting the plane from. “Mum! Dru!” Spike yelled when he saw them.

“Oh William, I didn’t think we’d be able to fine you in this maze of people.” Anne said as she pulled her son into a loving embrace.

“Well here I am.” Spike said after the hug.

“Yes, how are you?” Anne asked.

“I’m good.” Spike said before noticing the bag his mother was holding. “Here let me take that.”

“William it’s fine.”

“You just got off a long flight, and I’m sure you’re t. No. Now give me the bag.” Spike said as he pulled the bag from his mother’s hands.

“Always the gentleman.”

“I try.”

“You do a wonderful job.”

“I don’t know, he still hasn’t said hello to his sister.” Drusilla said from her spot behind her mother.

“Terribly sorry.” Spike pulled Drusilla into a hug. “Hello Dru.”

“Hey yourself William.”

“I assume that you took excellent care of Mum while I was gone.” Spike said with a smirk.

“She did everything you asked her to.” Anne explained.

“Good.” Spike said with a nod.

“Hello Anne.” Giles said as he stepped around Spike.

“Rupert. . .” Anne whispered.

“You’re more beautiful then I remember.” Giles whispered as he gave her a hug.

“Please, I must be a mess.” Anne said running a hand through her hair.

Giles smiled down at her. “You a mess, never.”

Anne smiled as well. “Thank you Rupert.”

‘New rule, no more calling Rupert Rupert. I’ll just call him Giles like all my other friends do.’ Buffy thought as she watched the scene before her play out.

“Who’s she?” Anne asked as she saw the petite blonde woman standing in the background.

Giles turned to see who Anne was talking about and saw Buffy. “Oh, where are my manors. Anne, Drusilla this is Buffy. Buffy, this is William’s mother Anne, and his younger sister Drusilla.”

Buffy took a step forward and held out her hand to Anne. “Nice to meet you.”

“Golden Angel. . .” Drusilla gasped when she saw Buffy step underneath one of the lights in the ceiling.

“What?” Buffy asked as she turned from Anne and looked to face Drusilla.

“Nothing.” Drusilla said holding out a hand to Buffy. “It’s nice to meet you Buffy.”

“Why don’t we gather all your belongings and we can talk more once we get to your new place.” Giles said as he guided Anne away from the gate leaving Buffy and the other’s to follow them.

“That sounds like a wonderful idea. I can’t wait to see what William’s done with the place.”

“You know what it looks like?” Giles asked.

“I saw a few photos of it when William was looking for a place for us, but I don’t know what it looks like now that it’s been decorated.” Anne explained.

“Well, from what I’ve seen it’s very nice. Don’t you think so Buffy?” Giles asked as he looked over his shoulder.

“Huh?” Buffy asked as she looked up from the floor.

“He wants to know what you think of my flat Luv.” Spike whispered into her ear.

“Oh. It’s lovely, I think you’ll both be happy with what Spike’s done.”

“I can’t wait.” Anne stated.

“Did you happen to get a look at my room?”

Buffy looked at Spike then back to Drusilla. “Yeah.”

“What’s it like?” Drusilla asked.

“I don’t think you have anything to worry about.” Buffy replied.

“As long as it has fresh sheets on the bed.” Drusilla called as she walked forward. Her comment causing both Buffy and Spike to come to an stop in the middle of the airport.
