Changes

Thank you so much for the reviews. I am so sorry it has been so long since my last update, but my computer went all wonky and I lost my word program so I couldn’t write at all. I hope you are still liking this story, please let me know how I am doing on the ‘Human’ thing, cause it’s new to me and I want to perfect it before I write a sequel to ‘Nothing better than the blood of a Slayer.’

rry rry to just have thrown the “Cordy and Angel” thing out there like that, but I watched Angel’s 100th episode just before I wrote it and I had to get them together.

Also, yes I know Buffy’s dad is a tad generous, but you will see why in later chapters.

Now, please enjoy. ;)

"Maybe I should go..." She murmured.

"Stay...please...let me hold you while you sleep....I'm not ready to let you go just yet...." Spike pleaded hugging her close to him.

"Kay...just for a little while though...I have to go home before dawn..."

"I'll wake you..." Spike murmured watching her close her eyes and settle against him.
~~~~~`

Buffy awoke with a start. She glanced around in the dark and noticed a warm body beside her. ~ Oh. Yeah. Spike. ~ She thought to herself smiling happily.

“Spike…” She whispered nudging him.

“Yeah Luv?” He murmured sleepily.

“I have to go…” She whispered.

“Don’t want you to.” He said sulkily wrapping his arms tighter around her.

“I don’t want to either, but I have to or my mom will freak out and I’ll get grounded.”

“Ok, let me grab my jacket. I’ll walk you.”

“You don’t have to. Stay nice and warm in bed.” She pulled back a little trying to get off of his bed.

“Don’t think so Luv. No girl of mine walks home alone at…what bloody time is it anyway?” He slowly rubbed his eyes and glanced at his alarm clock beside his bed and groaned. “Four thirty?”
~~~~~`

They arrived at Buffy’s house and she dug through her purse to get her keys.
“There they are.” She smiled triumphantly pulling them from her purse.

Spike laughed out loud. “You have more key chains than actual keys Luv.”

“I know. I collect them.” She giggled. “Are you going to kiss me goodnight?” She asked stepping closer to him.

“Yeah. Course Luv.” Spike wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in close.

Buffy looked up into his eyes and melted against him. She snaked her arms around his waist under his coat. His lips brushed lightly against hers.

“You smell so good…” He murmured in her ear.

“So do you.” She whispered and met his lips again. Their tongues rubbing softly against each other. Buffy leaned back against the door and pulled Spike with her. He pressed up against her.

They were so engrossed in the kiss that neither of them noticed the car pull into the driveway.
~~~~~`

Joyce parked the car and noticed Buffy on the porch with a guy.
~~~~~`

She walked up the steps and smiled when she realized they didn’t even know she was there.

“Morning sweetheart.” Joyce said softly.

“Oh…uh Mom…” Buffy pulled away from Spike as if he was on fire. “This is William.” She introduced him by his given name.

“Hi William. Nice to meet you.” Joyce smiled.

“Nice to meet you too Mrs. Summers.” Spike smiled.

“You have ten minutes Buffy, then I want you in the house Ok?” She asked as she stepped around her to get to the door.

Buffy only nodded. She waited for the door to shut before she spoke. “I am in soooooo much trouble.”

“I don’t think so Luv.” Spike smiled down at her. “If she was mad she wouldn’t have let you stay out here for ten more minutes she would have made you go right in.”

Buffy was doubtful but nodded. She leaned up against Spike again. “Let’s not waste it. It may be the last time I’m allowed out of the house till graduation.” She murmured pressing her lips into his.
~~~~~`

“Did you have a good time tonight?” Joyce asked when Buffy finally entered the house.

“Yeah. I did. Mom…I’m sorry I was…”

“Was that your boyfriend?” Joyce questioned when she finally walked into the house.

“Yes. He is.” She smiled happily. “We were just…”

“I know what you were just Buffy. I was seventeen myself once too, hard as that is to believe.”

“Am I grounded?” Buffy asked fearfully.

“No. You are not grounded. Buffy, you are going to be eighteen in a few short months; I feel that I need to give you some freedoms. I love you and I want you to be happy.” Joyce said embracing her.

Shocked Buffy hugged her back. “Thanks…Uh…what have you done with my mother?”

“Buffy that is not funny. I just realized I’ve been treating you like a child, you aren’t a child anymore, you are a young woman and you need to have some control over your own life.” Joyce smiled tucking a stray hair behind her daughter’s ear. “No matter how much I want to I can’t keep you a child forever.”

“So what exactly does this mean?” Buffy asked.
~~~~~`

“I couldn’t get a hold of the school just yet. It’s still Christmas break.”

“How long do I have to wait?” She cried.

“Darling, you can still go, but you will just have to register for school when you arrive.”

“Thank you daddy.” Dru squealed hugging her father tightly. “Everything will be fine now. I know William loves me, and I know if he sees me he’s gonna take me back.”

“Yes princess, but if things do not work out as planned you can always come home.”
~~~~~`

Buffy knocked and waited. She heard noise behind the door and knew someone was coming. An older, disheveled man opened the door.

“Yes?” He asked wincing.

“Hi. Is William in?” She asked politely.

Giles nodded. “He’s in his room…It’s in the basement. You can go on down.” He ushered heto tto the house and quickly shut the door. “I am truly sorry, it seems I am not myself today, a little too much ringing in of the New Year.” He smiled sheepishly.

“I’m Buffy…” She offered her hand.

“Oh, goodness…William’s new girlfriend. I’m sorry; you must think I’m a terrible cad. I am Rupert Giles. William’s father. You can call me Giles, everyone does.”

“Hey Da. Who was at the door this early?” Spike asked coming up from the basement. When he saw whom his visitor was his whole face lit up. “Buffy! Not grounded for life then Pet?” He asked walking over to give her a quick hug.

“Nope. SO not grounded.” She smiled.

“If you will excuse me…my bed is calling….” Giles sighed.

“Sure. It was nice to meet you Giles.” Buffy said politely.

“And you as well my dear.” He said before trudging up the stairs.

“So what did she say?” William begged pulling her by the hand to sit on the couch.

“Lots. She said I’m almost eighteen, and she wants to start treating me like a grown up. She also wasn’t mad that we were making out. She was really cool about the whole thing. She lifted my curfew completely. It was really strange, but in a good way.”

“See told you.” Spike said leaning in to take her into his arms.

“Yeah. She’s gonna get me a cell so I can call if I’m gonna be late. Just so she doesn’t worry.” Buffy said happily.
~~~~~`

Two days later.

“Where are we going?” Buffy asked getting into the car.

“The doctors.” Joyce said softly.

“Why what’s wrong?” She asked fearfully. ~ Not again Mom. ~ She worried that Joyce was getting headaches again.

“Nothing is wrong Buffy. I just think it’s time you saw a gynecologist. I want you to go on the pill.”

“What?” Buffy almost shouted. She turned a deep shade of crimson.

“I just think…”

“Mom I am not having sex!” Buffy felt tears welling up in her eyes. “I don’t know why you want me to go on the pill.”

“Sweetheart.” Joyce stopped and parked the car. “We are here already. I know that you aren’t having sex. Yet. But that doesn’t mean you won’t one day and I just want you to be protected.”

“But mom …I”

“No argument Buffy. You need to be safe when you do decide to have sex. It takes time to work into your system. Please…”

Buffy nodded and followed her mother into the Doctor’s office.
~~~~~`

“Buffy Summers?” The receptionist called out startling her.

Buffy stood and followed her.

She was told to get undressed and put on the gown that was provided for her.

Buffy did and then sat to wait. In less than five minutes the door opened and in walked her Doctor.

“Hi. I am Doctor Goodly.” She said smiling. She was a kind looking woman with light brown hair that hung in loose waves down her back. She had bright green eyes and a friendly smile.

“Hi.” Buffy said shyly.

“Why are you here today Buffy?” She inquired.

“My mom thinks I should go on the pill.” Buffy blushed as she said those words.

“Ok. Why don’t I ask you a few questions and then we can do an exam?” Doctor Goodly asked trying to make Buffy feel at ease.

Buffy nodded. She answered her questions truthfully and when they were done she was asked to climb up on the table.

“Ok. Now just relax.” Doctor Goodly murmured as she examined Buffy.

Buffy felt only minor discomfort when she was being examined and it didn’t last as long as she thought it would.

She was given a couple of sample packets and instructions.

Joyce was waiting patiently for her when she re-emerged in the lobby.

“So? Did everything go alright?” She asked.

“Yeah. It went ok. I got them” She said shyly. She held up the bag that contained her pills. ~ Pills. I am on the pill. Ohgodohgod. ~
~~~~~`

“Hello Luv.” Spike smirked at her expression. She looked like a deer caught in headlights.

“Spike! You’re early.” She said running her fingers through her damp hair and pulling her robe tighter against herself.

“I just had to see you Luv. Missed you.” He stepped inside and gave her a chaste kiss.

“Mmmm I missed you too. Wanna come and watch me do my hair?” She smiled coyly at him.
~~~~~`

She picked up her clothes off the bed. “I’ll be right back. I just have to change.” She murmured.

Spike sat on her bed to wait.

Buffy returned to her room fully dressed and smiled satisfied at her choice of wardrobe tonight. “Why don’t you. Oh. You are sitting.” Buffy said as she noticed he was on the bed. “I’ll just be a few minutes.”

“That’s Ok Luv. Reservation isn’t until Seven.” Spike smiled seductively. He got up from the bed and walked over to her. “We have two hours.” He purred softly in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close.

Buffy felt a chill run down her spine. ~ I don’t know howg I’g I’m going to be able to stop myself. ~ Buffy thought as she leaned forward and brushed her lips across his.

“Oh…Buffy…taste so good luv.” Spike murmured running his fingers through her hair.

“So do you.” She whispered back. She laced her fingers together behind his head and pulled him forward for another searing kiss.

Spike rubbed against her and moaned softly as she let one of her hands trail down his back.

“Wait I have to shut the door…” Buffy pulled away and shut the door to her room. Spike’s eyebrows shot up as he heard the lock snick.

She turned around and walked back towards Spike. “I’m not ready to …you know…all the way…but…”

Instantly spike was in front of her hands on the sides of her face. He pulled her close and kissed her urgently, tongue instantly invading her mouth. He pressed himself against her stomach, arms snaking around her to pull her even closer.

She pulled back and looked up into his lust filled gaze. “Show me.” Two words.

Spike’s heart skipped a beat as he realized he just fell in love with this woman before him. ~ Can’t tell her yet. Don’t want to scare her. Or make her think you only want to get down her pants. ~

~ Is he trying to make me melt? ~ She wondered. ~ Oh god. He has the bluest eye’s I’ve ever seen. I could so get lost in there for the rest of my life. ~

“Buffy…I…I think I’m”

“Buffy are you home?” Joyce yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
