Chapter 22

‘Spike’s Flat-Living Room’

“Is everything alright?” Giles asked as Buffy and Spike walked into the living room.

Buffy nodded her head and locked eyes with Spike for a brief moment. “Yeah, just some older sibling pep talk.”

“You’re an older sibling?” Drusilla asked from her spot in the large arm chair in between the two couches.

“Yeah. I have a younger sister named Dawn.”

“Oh, how old is she?”

“18. She’ll be starting college in the fall actually.” Buffy said as she took a seat on one of the leather couches across from Giles and Anne.

“Where will she be going?” Anne asked.

“UC Sunnydale was the latest I heard. It’s just a few miles away from the main part of town.”

“Buffy went there with a few of her friends.” Giles added.

“What did you major in?”

“Art.” Buffy answered.

“Buffy’s opening an art gallery here in town.” Spike stated trying to help her out with all the questioning while taking a seat next to Buffy.

“That’s wonderful.” Anne said with a smile.

Buffy smiled back. “My mother use to own it.”

“Where is your mother now?”

Buffy looked down for a moment. “Um, she passed away when I was twenty.”

“I’m sorry to here that.” Anne said. “How old are you now?”

“I’m twenty-three.”

“What’s with the twenty questions?” Spike asked.

“Mum’s trying to find out a reason why the two of you aren’t a couple.” Drusilla stated.

“Yes, I called Buffy your girlfriend but Rupert told me it wasn’t so.” Anne explained. “Why not?”

“Cause I’m seein’ someone.” Spike said.

“And also because I’m married.” Buffy said looking at Giles who had yet to say anything.

“Who are you seeing William?” Drusilla asked.

“A woman named Faith, whom you’ll meet later.” Spike stated.

“What’s your husband like Buffy?” Anne asked.

“Why don’t you ask him yourself?” Buffy said as she stood from the couch and walked towards Spike’s bedroom.

“What?” Anne asked.

“Buffy!” Giles yelled after her.

Spike stood and went to go after Buffy. “Let’s pray I got mlatilationship skills from Mum’s side of thing and not yours.”

“What did I do now?” Giles asked.

Spike turned back to face his father. “How long does it take a man to introduce his own wife?”

“Rupert?” Anne asked in shock.

“I’ll be right back.”

‘Spike’s Room’

“I can’t believe him!” Buffy yelled. “How could he just sit there and act as if I wasn’t suppose to let anyone know that I’m his wife. Why didn’t he want to tell them?”

Knock-Knock

“Spike I really don’t want to talk about this right now.” Buffy said with her back facing the door as she heard it slowly open.

“Well then it’s a good thing I’m not my son.” Giles sai he he walked into the room and closed the door behind him.

Buffy turned to face him. “I’d really rather not speak with you right now either.”

“Buffy I’m sorry if I upset you.”

“That’s all you seem to be doing lately.”

“It’s not my intention.”

“Why?” Buffy asked.

“I was excited about seeing Anne again.” Giles explained.

“To excited to introduce me as your wife?”

“It completely left my mind.”

“It left your mind that I was your wife?” Buffy questioned.

“Yes. No. That’s now Iow I meant it.”

“In the past two hours that you’ve been around them it never came up? Anne or Drusilla never asked who I was, or why I was hanging around?”

“Anne thought you were William’s girlfriend.”

“And you told her I wasn’t?”

“Yes.”

“And in that time you didn’t think that maybe, just maybe that was the time to tell her who I was?”

“You’re over reacting to all of this. You were nervous about meeting her at the airport.”

“That’s because I found out she didn’t know about me already.” Buffy yelled giving up on trying to control her anger.

“And now she does.” Giles stated.

“Not because of you, or your doing.”

“I’m sorry.” Was all Giles could say.

“So am I.” Buffy whispered. “I’m sorry that you don’t hold me in such high regard as Anne or Spike.” Buffy said as she headed towards the door.

“Buffy!” Giles yelled heading after her.

Buffy turned to face him again. “I’m done talking to you about this. You love her more then you could ever love me, or will love me.”

“That’s not true.” Giles stated.

“From your actions it’s hard not to believe it is.” Buffy said before turning back to the door.

“You want actions, here are some actions.” Giles said as he grabbed Buffy’s arm and pulled her out of Spike’s bedroom.

“Let go of me.” Buffy yelled.

“Not until I prove something to you.” Giles said pulling her closer to the living room.

“Let go!” She screamed.

“No!”

“What’s going on?” Spike asked, as he stood from the couch ready to save Buffy if need be.

“He won’t let go of me.” Buffy stated trying to pull her arm away from Giles.

“Rupert?” Anne called as she stood as well.

“I’m doing something I should have done to begin with.” Giles said letting go of Buffy’s arm. “Anne, Drusilla I’d like to introduce you to my wife.”

“Your wife?” Anne gasped. “Rupert she’s younger than our own son.”

“I know that and it doesn’t matter.”

“Well it should, you’re twice her age. “You could be her own father for heaven sakes.”

Spike place a hand on his mother’s shoulder and turned her to face him. “Mum didn’t you tell me that as long as there was love nothing else matters.”

“This is different.” Anne stated.

“How so?” Buffy demanded.

“Buffy.” Giles whispered.

“No, I want to know why she thought everything was alright when I was Spike’s girlfriend, but not when I’m your wife.”

“Because.” Anne said trying to think of something to say.

“Look I’m sorry if him being married ruined a plan of yours to get back together and be a happy family, but he is married.” Buffy yelled.

“He was married to me first young lady.” Anne yelled back.

“What!?” Buffy asked with wide eyes.

“I take it you didn’t know that little fact.”

“Were you?” Buffy asked as she turned to face Giles.

“Yes, but. . .”

“How long?” Buffy questioned cutting him off.

“Four years.” Giles replied.

Buffy looked away from him and stumbled as she took a step back. “I can’t be here.”

“Nor should you. This is a family matter.” Anne stated.

“Mum!” Spike yelled before turning to run after Buffy. “Buffy wait!”
