“What will I tell them?” Xander questioned an hour outside of Sunnydale.

“I told the scoobies most of it.”

“Well I’m wondering what the proper thing to say is. ‘Hey guys, ya miss me?”

“That’ll cover it.”

“What do I need to know? What’s the what? Who’s with who?”

“Besides you and me pet?” Spike flashed a devilish grin.

“Yes besides. You’re a bad man.”

“I’m not a man luv.”

“Spike…”

“Ok. Red’s with that smart mouthed little bit of a slayer Kennedy. Big sis one and Big sis two have been dancing around each other for a year now and Dawn is with Andrew.”

“Are you talking about Buffy and Faith?’

“’S what I said.”

“Buffy’s not…”

“We all are pet. In some way or another. Don’t ever let either of them know I said this but their good together.”

“Why do you think that is? The gay epidemic I mean?”

“Simple. None of us are really of this world you know? When you get out of it gender and the like goes away.”

“What about Angel?”

Spike laughed. “’M sire’s jealous. Always did have a thing for you. He’s still broodin’ around that big hotel, big love big loss, makes me want to lose my biscuits. He told us to stop by. He knows a lot more about this connection then the likes of me.”

“Giles?”

“He’s around. Keeps us all in line so to speak.”

“Wood?”

“He took off when he found out psycho-slayer was carpet munching with super-bitch.” Xander was quiet when they began to enter the city limits. “When we get there I need to change all of your bandages. They’ll be a bloody mess as it is.” Spike squeezed Xander’s hand as they stopped in front of Buffy’s house. “Don’t be nervous luv. This is your family. They love you.”

“And you?” Xander questioned. Spike leaned forward placing a hand on Xander’s cheek. He brought his lips to the humans slowly in a soft delicate kiss.

“Does that answer your question luv?”

“That’ll do it.” Xander pulled himself out of the car. All of the lights in the house were off except the porch. Xander walked slowly up the steps.

“Hey fudge packer.” Faith sprang to her feet and ran to Xander.

“It’s my favorite bull-dyke! I didn’t know you hugged.”

“Don’t let anyone know.” She kept her hands on Xander’s face while she looked at him. “It’s good to have you back bro.”

“When did you get all pussy whipped and nice?”

“B’s the bomb man.” Xander almost fell as someone jumped into his arms.

“Xander! It’s my Xander!”

“Easy on the boy.” Spike grumbled as he carried bags into the house, followed by the dog.

“Yeah Buff. You’re still a hell of a lot stronger.” Buffy ran over and threw her arms around Spike.

“You brought my Xander home and a very large dog.”

“’S mine.” Spike mumbled under his breath as Buffy ran back to Xander.

“Let it go fangs.” Faith patted him on the back. “Let me help you with those bags.” She looked to Spike. “What’s the dogs name?”

“Poet.” Spike blushed. Faith cocked an eyebrow. “Po.”

“Buff I cant breath.” The slayer looked at her friend with tears streaming down her face.

“I missed you so much Xan. God I missed you.” She buried her head in his shoulder.

“I know. I’m sorry Buffy.”

“No, you needed to go. I get that. That doesn’t make it an easier. And then with knowing what you were going…” She shifted. “Well you know.”

“I know. But I got Spike out of all of it.”

“We can work on that later.” She smiled at him.

“Watch it slayer.” Spike warned leaning in the door.

“Hey Spike remind me who’s house you live in again.”

“We need to get you cleaned up.” Spike wrapped an arm around his mate and led him inside to the couch. “Ill be back.” He headed into the kitchen.

“So where is everyone?”

“Well Spike lives in the basement. Faith and I are in Mom’s room. Andrew lives here and Dawn is in the dorms. Willow, Kennedy and Giles share a duplex a couple blocks down the street. We have an extra room if you don’t want to sleep with the undead, which would be fine by the way.”

“Knock it off B.” Faith patted her girlfriend knee.

“I was just saying.”

“Buffy I love Spike.”

“I know.” Spike smiled to himself at the exchange between to the Slayer and Xander.

“Let’s get you down to bed so that I can dress those wounds.”

“I am tired. I’ll see you two tomorrow?”

“Of course.” Buffy kissed his cheek and Faith hugged him once more.

“You doing ok pet?” Spike questioned pointing Xander to bed.

“Yes. Spike it feels so good to be home, safe.” Xander looked around. “Where’s Po?”

“Faith has him. Poet’s a funny name for a dog.”

“Yes it was after you.” Xander blushed. Spike nodded and smiled.

“How’s your head?”

“It’s good.” The human flinched as Spike fastened his bandages down. “Is it ok if I sleep in your bed.”

“I’ll never let you sleep anywhere else luv.”

“Really?” Xander pulled Spike down to him, his lips crushing the vampire’s. “Spike?”

“Yes Xan?”

“I love you.”

“I’ve always loved you Xan.”

“Can we…?”

“No luv. Not like this. ‘S gonna be special. I need you healthy. Gonna make your knees buckle I am.”

“Promise?” Xander snuggled into his lover.

“Always Xan.”

*** **** *** *** ****

“Xander!” A shrill scream tore Xander out of his peaceful sleep and his vampire’s arms.

“Dawnie!” He tried to swoop the small girl into the air. “I can’t do that yet but I will in a few days.” Dawn settled for a sturdy hug.

“I missed you.”

“I missed you too Dawnie.”

“And then when you left Spike turned into Angel moping around the base…”

“I did NOT turn into hair boy.” Spike warned, swinging his feet onto the floor.

“He so did.” Dawn whispered.

“Is Willow around?”

“She was just getting out of her car when I ran in. I wanted first dibs on Xander hugs.”

“Xander! Xander! Xander!” Xander seen a flash of red before he felt the small woman Velcro herself to him. “Xander I love you!”

“I know Wills. I know.” He kissed the witches forehead. “I love you too. I missed you. I missed all of you so much.” He smiled looking around the room at everyone who had filed into the basement. His eyes locked with Spike’s. “…so much.” Spike nodded his head. Xander began to stumble.

“Luv you need to rest.” Spike wrapped Xander in his arms. “The lot of you, clear out.” Everyone grumbled their replies and headed up the stairs. Buffy stopped in front of Spike.

“Take care of him.” Her face was cold.

“Always will goldilocks.” Spike tucked Xander into bed and crawled in beside him.

“Spike did you really mope when I left.”

Spike squeezed his eyes closed. “I did pet. I loved you then. When you left…I lost a part of me. I had my soul, but I lost my heart.”


“But Buffy…”

“Was a way to come in out of the cold. It was always you Xan.”

“When will we go see Angel? I’d like to know what you owning me entails. Like, do I have to do your laundry?”

“We could head down there tonight. I think that you’re well enough for that.”

“You gonna be ok with Angelcakes?”

“Sire and I have a rapport now.”

“Alright. I think I need to sleep. Will you wake me at dusk?”

“Sure thing pet.”

Spike left Xander curled up in bed and walked upstairs to talk to the gang.

*** *** *** *** ***

“So what if this guy comes here?” Faith proposed the question that everyone was thinking.

“It’s not if luv, it’s when. And I’ll kill him.”

“You’ll have to get in line.” Buffy growled crossing her arms.

“’S my kill Slayer.”

“No Spike. It’s not. He’s our friend and we…”

“Hey!” Everyone turned to see Xander.

“Pet you should be…”

“I’m fine. How about no one kills Jake? None of you are killers…”

“I am.” Faith raised her hand.

“Same here.” Will lowered her head.

“I’m a bloody vampire luv…so…killing’s kinda my way of life.”

“Well I know I am both willing and able.” Buffy wedged her statement into the conversation.

“And in my day I was…”

“Giles!” Buffy looked at him surprised.

“I had my fun.” Giles began to clean his glasses.

“Ok well I didn’t see that coming. The point is he wont come here and if by some off chance that he does Jake is my problem.”

“Xander…”

“No, Buffy I’ve been on my own for almost four years.”

“Pet he left you for dead.”

“Spike I don’t need your help right now.”

“Xan…”

“Listen, everything is fine now. I’m home. I’m with my family and I’m safe. Can’t we just feel good about that right now.”

“You’re right Xander.” Willow squeezed her friends arm.

“Yeah, sorry Xan.” Buffy smiled.

“We were off our nut.” Spike kissed Xander quickly. “Why don’t you go pack a bag? We’ll leave for LA soon.” Xander walked down stairs.

“So if Jake comes back…” Faith began.

“We kill ‘im.” Spike offered.

“A world of yes.” Buffy nodded.

“Glad that’s settled.” Giles said walking into the kitchen.

“I feel good that we talked about this.” Willow added before everyone went their separate ways.
