‘Spike’s Flat-Few Hours Later’
“Here we are Luv.” Spike said as he pushed open the apartment door.
Buffy place a hand over his and looked up at him. “Thank you, for everything.”
“Should be thankin’ you too.” Spike said as he leaned in to kiss her.
“William is that you?” Anne asked as she made her way over to the door.
“Let the fun begin.” Buffy mumbled as she looked away from Spike.
“Yeah Mum it’s me.” Spike called out with a sigh.
“I was worried about you, it’s not like you to just. . .Oh!” Anne came to a stop as she entered the hallway by the door.
“Mum you remember Buffy don’t you?” Spike asked sarcastically.
“Anne is that William. . .Buffy?” Giles came to a stop next to Anne in the hallway.
“I left my purse here yesterday.” Buffy said not looking at Giles. “Spike brought me by to pick it up.”
“Were the two of you together all night?” Anne asked.
“No, I paid for a room at ‘The Sunnydale Inn’ for Buffy, and I stayed at the restaurant for the night. I picked her back up this morning so she could get her bag.” Spike explained the story that he and Buffy had come up with on the ride over.
“How much was the room? I’ll pay you back.” Giles said as he pulled his wallet out of his back pocket.
“No need.” Spike said holding up a hand.
Giles opened his wallet. “I insist.”
“No need really. You let me stay with you few a while, we’re even.”
“You staying with us didn’t cost money, the room last night did.”
“Giles I already told him I’d pay him.” Buffy explained.
Giles looked at Buffy in shock. ‘Giles?’ “Did you. . .Did you just call me Giles?”
“Yes.” Buffy snoddnodding her head.
“You never call me Giles.”
“I do now.” Buffy replied.
“Buffy I’d like to speak with you.” Giles said taking a step forward.
“I can’t right now, I have to go home and change before I meet Willow at the gallery.” Buffy said as she took a step back and closer to the door.
“I think us talking is a bit more important than meeting with Willow at your gallery.”
“And I think ‘my’ gallery is more important than us talking. I’ve already told you s, Is, I’m done talking.”
“How dare you speak to him that way.” Anne yelled as she stepped closer to Giles.
“He’s my husband and I’ll speak to him however the hell I want to speak to him.” Buffy yelled back. “Can we go?” Buffy asked looking up at Spike as he placed a hand on her shoulder.
“William you’re not going to let her talk to your parents that way are you?” Anne asked in shock at the way her son was reacting to Buffy.
“With the way you’ve talked to her I’d have to say yes.” Spike replied before looking down at Buffy. “Give me a sec to change and we’ll be on our way.”
“Alright. I’ll wait for you by the car.”
“I won’t take long.” Spike said as he made his way past his parents and into his room.

‘Spike’s Room’
“You have feelings for her.” Drusilla called out from her spot leaning against his doorframe.
“What?” Spike asked as he turned around to face his sister as he pulled a new shirt on.
“Mr. Giles’ wife. You have feelings for her.” Drusilla stated again.
“What of it?” Spike asked as he walked closer to the door.
“It won’t end well.”
“Yeah well it didn’t start out to well either.” Spike said as she pushed past her.
“What about Mother?” Drusilla questioned.
Spike turned back around to face Drusilla. “Look after her, I’ll be back later.”
“One night won’t be enough.” Drusilla called out after her brother’s retreating form.

‘Spike’s Car’
“Sorry ‘bout that.” Spike said as he walked over to his car where Buffy was standing.
“Don’t be.”
After a few minutes of driving Spike looked over to Buffy who was staring out the window.
“Are you alright?”
“I’ll be fine.” Buffy said as she turned to face him. “You should go back home.”
Spike looked back to the road. “I’m drivin’ you to your place.”
“After. Once you drop me off, you should go back home and talk with your mother.”
“How are you going to get to the gallery?” Spike asked.
“I have a car, I just don’t like to drive it.”
“I can drop you off at the gallery.”
Buffy shook her head. “No, you need to talk to your mother.”
Spike pulled the car over to the side of the road. “What’s this about? You can be mad at her but I can’t?”
“You’re mad at her for all the wrong reasons.” Buffy stated as she turned her body to face him as well.
“I’m mad at her for how’s she’s been treatin’ you.”
“And that’s the wrong reason.” Buffy said.
“How so?” Spike asked.
“You shouldn’t let your feelings for me get in the way of your feelings for your mother.”
“I’m not.”
“You are. If anyone else had spoken to your mother the way I did you would have torn them apart.” Buffy explained.
“I. . .” Spike started.
“You know I’m right. So you’re going to drop me off at my house, then you’re going back to your place to make things better with you mother. You both need each other, now more than ever.”
Spike sighed before starting the car up again. “Alright, you win. Drop you off, go apologize to my mum for bein’ such an ass.”
“Good boy.” Buffy said as she patted his upper thigh.

‘Spike’s Flat’
“Anne I’m going to go see if I can catch Buffy before she leaves.” Giles said as he rose from the couch. “Are you going to be alright?”
“She’ll be fine Mr. Giles. Talking to your wife it more impor rig right now, I’ll take good care of her.” Drusilla said as she walked over to her mother.
“Thank you Drusilla.” Giles said before he left the apartment.
“Mum?” Drusilla asked.
“Huh?” Anne asked not really paying attention to anything.
“Let’s go sit out on the balcony.”
“Alright Dear.” Anne said as she stood up.
“Don’t worry, William will be back soon.” Drusilla said trying to calm her mother.
“How can you be so sure?” Anne asked.
“She’ll make him.” Drusilla stated as she opened the door to the balcony.
“Why would she?”
“Because she knows what it’s like to lose her own mother.”
