Next Door

The day had finally come! Spike had been waiting with his stomach tied in knots for the last three weeks and it had finally arrived!
“Oh My God!!” Buffy cried out loudly, kicking her leg that was tangled in the bed sheet. She gasped and grunted as she tried to take as much oxygen in as possible and looked down at Spike with a blissful grin.
“Good morning pet.” Spike grinned crawling back up her body.
“Mmm well it was a good way to wake up.” She smiled shyly.
“Happy Birthday luv.” He smiled
“Hmm thank you…oh my god. Im legal!” She giggled happily.
“I know so what’s it feel like to be a year older?” He asked kissing her knuckles sweetly.
“Well you just made it a whole lot better.” She grinned kissing him and moaning when she tasted herself on his lips.
“Come on then luv. Lets shower.” he smiled helping her out of bed and leading her to the bathroom.
“What?! Together? Spike we cant! The baby will be up any second.” She said sadly.
“No worries pet. We’ll actually just shower this time. And anyway the baby’s already up. Mums got him.” He smiled turning on the spray and smiling at her when she moaned at the first sheet of water hit her.
“What are you doing?” She moaned as he started to create a lather of soap on a cloth.
“Today’s your 18th birthday sweetheart and it’s the anniversary of our first date. I’ve been waiting over a year for this day and Im gunna treat you like an absolute princess now turn around.” he smiled

“Happy birthday dear.” Jenny smiled hugging Buffy as soon as she entered the kitchen.
“Thank you Jenny.” She smiled her eyes widening when she spotted the present on the counter. She loved presents.
“Go ahead and open it Buffy. It is for you.” jenny laughed at the obvious longing in Buffy’s eye. Buffy started to tear into the gift and her eyes watered up when she unveiled a portrait of herself, Dylan and Spike.
“You painted this from memory?” Buffy asked in complete awe at how detailed it was.
“Yes, I hope you like it. Its not much but I thought you’d appreciate it.” Jenny smiled when Buffy hugged her.
“So pet ready for the first part of your birthday gift?” Spike said as soon as he entered the room. He really wanted to get working on the surprise for tonight.
“Urm…okay what is it?” Buffy asked eagerly.
“Here.” He smiled handing her his credit card. She looked at him curiously and took the card.
“You and mum are booked in at The Bays Health Spa so you can get pampered like you should be and the mums gunna take you shopping. it’s a fair drive away to reach this great mall that’s like four towns over but I know you’ve been having shopping withdrawal and this way you can buy lots of pretty things.” He grinned when she squealed and threw herself into his arms.
“Oh my god thank you! I can but shoes!!” She giggled happily.

“Wait? So im not spending my birthday with you or Dylan?” She asked suddenly realising that little detail.
“Dylan can go with you luv. There’s a crèche at the health spa. Me on the other hand…I have some stuff to do but I promise you…I’ll be right here waiting for you to come back. I’ll cook you dinner and there will be a nice big present waiting for you .” he smiled, kissing her. It was only supposed to be a quick peck but he couldn’t help himself and soon the two lost themselves in the kiss only to be broken out of it in embarrassment when Jenny reminded them that a minor was in the room indicating Dylan.
“Right…well then. You two better get going wouldn’t want to miss your appointment.” Spike said ushering them out the door already.
“Umm okay…I’ll see you later then?” Buffy said a little unsurely kissing him goodbye.
“Yeah of course luv.” Spike grinned waving them off at the door waiting till they had pulled away before dashing back into the house.
Time to get to work!

“Hmmm this feels sooo good.” Buffy groaned arching her back as the talented fingers rubbed and kneaded her back perfectly. They had been there and already had been treated too a facial, a manicure and pedicure and after the full body massage they were in the middle of there was a sauna that Buffy was defiantly keen on visiting. She had never felt more relaxed in her life, being waited on hand and foot, being served strawberries and chilled champagne…it was absolutely perfect but there was still the bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. Sure all of this was great…beyond great actually. The fact that Spike was spending all this money on her really did show how much he wanted her to be happy but she missed him. She wanted to spend her birthday with him and she wondered what he had planned for tonight?
“Buffy? Buffy?”
Jenny’s voice finally broke through her thoughts and she looked up at Jenny surprised to see her standing in front of her.
“Ready for the sauna?”

“Ohh they look so good on you!” Jenny groaned enviously at the pair of tight low rise jeans Buffy was currently modelling.
“Hmm I don’t know.” Buffy said still undecided on whether to buy them.
“Buffy sweetie. Wear them while you can. I wish I was your age again and had your figure.” Jenny sighed looking down at her own rather chubby legs.
“What do you think sweetie? Should mommy buy the jeans or not?” Buffy asked in a playful voice wiggling her fingers in Dylan’s face.
He blinked up at her and gurgled before smiling..
“I’ll take that as a yes.” She laughed before going back into the changing rooms to take them off.

“I have never spent so much money in all my life.” Buffy exclaimed staring at the dozens of bags that were clustered around her chair and that were dangling off the handles to the pram that was besides her.
“Oh dear don’t worry. Go wild. He expected you to spend more than you have anyway.” Jenny shrugged tearing off a bi of her blueberry muffin and grinning at her.
“Its almost 5...should we start driving back? Its like two hours to get home right?” Buffy asked.
“Yes I suppose we should.” Jenny grinned helping carry the bags to the car.

They pulled up outside the house just as it was getting dark. The house seemed to be in complete darkness but Buffy could really tell because all the curtains were drawn. She opened the door and stepped out but before she could make a move to un-strap the car seat Jenny’s hand came from the front seat and stopped her. She looked up in confusion when she saw Jenny smiling at her and gave her a questioning look.
“Me and Dylan are staying at a hotel tonight.” Jenny grinned.
“What? Why?” Buffy asked completely surprised by the news.
“Because Spike has a romantic evening planned for you remember…I’ll look after him okay and I’ll bring all your new clothes back with me tomorrow okay? Happy Birthday Buffy.” She said sincerely before giving her a gentle push out of the car.
Buffy watched the car pull off still to surprised to react before turning back to the house and making her way towards the door. She stood outside for a few seconds just staring at the wood. She had a nervousness in her belly she never normally had and she swallowed hard finally finding the courage to opened the door. As soon as she stepped foot inside she couldn’t help the smile form on her face. The house would have been in complete darkness but there were hundreds of candles placed around the hallway. There were pretty white candles lining the way upstairs and if it wasn’t for the soft music coming from the dining room or the trail of white rose petals leading to the closed dining room door she might have followed the candles upstairs but luckily she didn’t and walked quietly to the door to her right. She paused by the door listening to the music that was being played through the wood before opening the door slowly.

She almost fainted at the sight that greeted her. It wasn’t the hundred more candles that were giving the room an almost enthral feel that had her brain short circuiting…nor was it the mouth watering smells that were coming from the silver platters that were on the cloth covered table. No it was the sight of Spike standing there in a tux and a bunch of blood red roses.
“happy birthday sweetheart.” he grinned.

“Buffy? Buffy luv are you okay?” He asked worriedly when after five minutes she still hadn’t said anything.
“Im…im fine…Spike…you look…wow.” She whispered.
“And im wearing a pair of jeans and a shirt that got baby dribble on it.” She murmured looking down at herself.
“Nonsense pet. You look gorgeous as ever…you wanna sit?” he beamed holding out a chair. She sat down giving him a sweet smile while he took the seat opposite her.
“I hope your hungry luv.” he smiled before placing a bowl of soup in front of her.
Buffy who hadn’t eaten a proper meal all day dug into the soup like she had been starved for days.
“So did you have a good day today?” He asked sweetly.
“It was amazing Spike thank you…but I think this makes it complete.” She smiled.
“Sorry I couldn’t spend all day with you pet but I had to make all the food and get this place ready. There was some business in town I had to sort out too.” he said apologetically.
“No problem. I get tonight anyway right? That more than makes up for it.” She grinned.

They had just finished their main meals which was a particularly tasty Italian dish when Spike pulled out a wrapped box. Buffy stared at the small box in surprise and looked up at Spike’s eyes.
“Spike please don’t tell me you bought me another present! You’ve already spent too much on me.”
“Well…your not gunna be too happy about this then…this cost more than the whole lot that was spent today luv.” He chuckled before handing her the box.
She still felt guilty for him spending so much on her but she wasn’t gunna complain and refuse the gift and she grinned as she unwrapped the paper to reveal a white box. She lifted the lid and stared in confusion at what lay inside. She lifted the keys and looked at him in bewilderment.
“okay…what are these for?” She asked.
“For this.” he smiled handing her photos.
Buffy’s jaw dropped when she finally realised what the keys were for. The first picture showed the outside of an absolutely gorgeous house. It had a large front garden and Buffy recognised it as one of the houses on Crawford street in Sunnydale. She had always fantasized about living in that house when she saw it and she flipped through the other pictures, her smile growing when she looked at the pictures of the different rooms and of the back garden.
“Spike…have you bought us a house?” She said in a complete awe filled voice.
“Well when we go back to Sunnydale we’re gunna need a place to stay right? I figured we needed to buy one before we got there and I got Angel and Cordy to look around and they showed me this and I don’t know about you but I fell in love with the place. Its perfect for you me and Dylan. So…do you like it?” He asked with a nervous smile.
Buffy didn’t answer him she just moved towards him and wrapped him up in huge hug. The thought f her, Spike and Dylan living out their lives happily in this picture perfect house was overwhelming and she buried her face in his shoulder as she kept her tears back.
“So im guessing you like it yeah?” he chuckled.
“Spike I love it.” She grinned bounding back into her seat and examining the pictures more closely.
“Put those away then for now pet. Plenty of time to study those. The evening isn’t over yet.”
He plucked the pictures form her hand and placed them on the mantle before rejoining her.
“Now….desert?” he asked holing up the plate of chocolate fudge cake. Buffy’s mouth watering was all the answer he needed.


“Mmmm this is gorgeous.” She groaned in bliss at the first mouthful of the chocolate.
Spike shook his head and chuckled at her.
“Should I be upset that the noises you make when eating that are louder than when we have sex?” He asked teasingly.
“Nope! Its not your fault your better in the kitchen than in bed.” She giggled when she heard his growl.
“Okay let me take this away and then my lady I believe you owe me a dance.” He smiled taking the dish from in front of her and settling it on a tray to the side. He stepped next to her and held his hand out smiling at her when she stood and let him lead her to a space in the middle of the dining room.
“Did I tell you, you look beautiful tonight?” Spike murmured into her ear.
“Hmm of course I do.” She laughed lying her head against his chest. Spike rested his chin on the top of her head and closed his eyes as he breathed in the vanilla scent that was uniquely Buffy. He never wanted to be this close to anyone else ever and he sighed bracing himself for what he was about to do.
“Buffy….”
“Yeah?”
Spike unwrapped her from his arms and took a step back which made Buffy instantly nervous. The look on his face was more serious than she’d ever seen and she gulped wondering what he was up to. The small black box he pulled out of his jacket pocket was enough to answer her question. She stared at the box with a dumbfounded look before looking up at him with a gob smacked look.
“Is that what I think it is?” She asked quietly.
“Look…I know your young…and we’ve only been seeing each other for a year but…Buffy I don’t wanna spend another day without you or Dylan…I don’t want us to get married right away. I want you to get your GED and maybe after college we could make it official you know?” He smiled before finally opening the box.
“OH MY GOD!” Buffy gasped when she saw the size of the diamond at the centre of the ring.
“Buffy…will you marry me?” He asked unable to stop the nervous tremor in his voice.
“Spike…I….yes, yes of course!” She beamed throwing her arms around his shoulders.
“God I love you.” he grinned kissing her. Buffy had never felt more happy in her life and she deepened the kiss happily. She felt him lift her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist smiling into the kiss when she felt the hardness in his jeans.

She was so caught up in the kiss she didn’t even realise that Spike had carried her upstairs until he dropped her on the bed. He followed her laying down on top of her. His hands came up to cup her breasts and he smiled when he felt her gasp into his mouth. The only sexual contact they had had in the month had been him going down on her this morning and he missed having her withering beneath him. He quickly rid her of her shirt and jeans and he pulled his t-shirt off to even it out. He kissed and nibbled down her neck but didn’t stop at her shoulders he carried on trailing open mouth kisses over her breast before pulling her bra down to lick at her nipples. Her boobs were at least a cup bigger than they had been and Spike certainly wasn’t complaining.
While he played with her nipples his other hand crept down until they were under the elastic of her panties and he groaned when he got his first feel at how wet she was. He slipped a finger up her and she moaned low in her throat at the sensation. Spike was being carefully he still wasn’t sure if she was healed so he only used one finger and began pumping it inside of her slowly.
“God…Spike…ughh please?” She whimpered.
Spike smiled and pulled his finger back out and up to rub at her clit. She immediately went rigid under his hand and he looked up just to see the wave of pleasure wash over her face before she slumped back into the pillows with a silly grin.
Spike stood up and pulled his jeans off before joining her back on the bed. He trailed a hand down the side of her face and he smiled when she slowly opened her eyes to look at him.
“That was amazing.” She grinned.
“You up for more?” he asked hoping to god that she was. His balls were almost blue and if she turned him down he was gunna die.
“Definitely.” She replied snorting when he practically pounced on her attacking her throat. She moaned when his teeth nipped at her earlobe. She was too distracted to notice him positioning his erection at her entrance.
“Gah!” She grunted when he thrust forward burying himself inside her.
Spike was in absolute heaven. She had agreed to get engaged. They had a stunning baby boy and he was finally able to make love to her. Her heat and tightness almost ended him too soon and he kept his face in her shoulder as he tried to calm his breathing. When he finally thought he was under control he pulled back to look down at her and she smiled up at him.
“You okay luv?”
“Never better.” She replied almost shyly before thrusting up at him. Their pace was slow and unhurried, the both of them never lost eye contact, barely blinking as they stared at each other while their lower bodies continued to move. She was so close he could feel her walls trembling around him and he groaned when her finger nails dug into his arms.
“Oh god…pet…I haven’t got a condom on!” he moaned still not stopping even as he felt his orgasm approach.
“Don’t worry. On pill.” She muttered.
“Bloody brilliant.” he exclaimed burying his head in her shoulder as he started to thrust faster. He was so close! Her scream was the first thing that broke through his brain right before her muscles clamped around him.
“Oh god.” He grunted as he thrust into her one more time before letting go and following her into oblivion.
