Richard wanted to sleep. He was tired. But somehow a fly or something got into his room. Something kept tickling his nose and chin. Giving a little growl Richard turned over and buried his head under the covers. A peel of laughter followed his every move. Suddenly his warm blankets were gone. Growling Richard tucked himself into a ball. Little fingers started tickling his sides, giggling sounded as Richard tried to stifle his own.

“All right I give! I’m up.” With that said Richard turned over and faced the little boy standing on the bed.

“Good! You was sleeping forever!” Said Xander as he plopped himself in Richard’s lap.

“Can I have waffles? Please?” Xander gave Richard big puppy eyes and made his little bottom lip quiver. Looking into that little face Richard could do nothing but agree.


“Ok kido.”


Getting out of bed Richard lead the little boy to the kitchen. Looking into the refrigerator Richard frowned. There wasn’t much of anything in the frig. Some old Chinese take-out, sandwich meats, and condiments. Nothing a little growing boy would want to eat. “Hmm.”

Xander ducked under Richard's arm and looked into the frig. “That cheese has hair.” He stated as he looked at Richard. Nodding Richard picked up the little boy and grabbed his phone as he went into the living room.

“Jason? Yes it’s Richard. I need to buy nice boys clothes, do recommend a store?”


“...........”


“Yeah. No I found a child yesterday. Did I tell Anita? No. You’ll meet me there. Ok. Bye.” Xander was giving Richard a little frown. “I thought we were going to eat! I don’t like shopping! Shopping is for mommies and Willow’s!” He said with a pout.


“We’ll go to a Restaurant after we buy you some clothes. And if you’re good we can go toy shopping.” That seamed to brighten Xander’s spirits because he wiggled out of Richard’s arms and pulled the big man to the door.


“Let’s go!”

Spike was pacing. His best friend went poof and could be damn well anywhere! Growling Spike glared at the witch responsible. Red, Glenda, and Giles were preforming spells to find Xander. All they knew was that he was alive and not on their Earth. Fuck!

Spike pulled out a fag and wondered if he should call one of his contacts. Grabbing Buffy’s cell phone out of the mouthy blond's hand Spike put it to his ear. “Sorry chap. She’ll call you back later.” With that said Spike hung up and dialed one of his contacts. Spike ignored the slayer and dodged her attempts to get the phone back.

“HELLO!” Spike flinched as the person on the other end screeched into the phone. “Rutting bloody hell! Draco! It’s a phone not a bloody string and tin can you don’t have to yell!” Hissed Spike as he stuck his finger into his ear.

“I thought you said they were teaching you muggle studies in that bloody magic school? Don’t they teach you how to use a phone?” Spike asked as he tried to get his sensitive ears to stop ringing.

“I only took the class because Potter said I couldn’t pass it. I showed Potter!!! I did bloody well in that class!” Said Draco still talking a bit loud into the cell phone Spike had bought him. “I’m a Malfoy after-all we never fail.”


Spike snickered as he jumped over a counter and way from the angry slayer that was trying to get her phone back. “I still think you have a crush on that bloke. You’re always talking about him.” He listened as Draco gave a dramatic angry gasp.

“Malfoy’s don’t fall in love with Griffindors!”


Spike smirked. “Didn’t say anything about love, pet.” He chuckled as he heard the boy sigh at the other end of the phone. Spike knew the Scooby gang was watching him but he didn’t give a rat’s ass what they thought. “Need your help Drake.” Said Spike simply.


“What do you need, William?” Spike smiled. That’s what he liked about family, there for you when you need them.

Xander sat next to Richard as they drove to the store. Jamil was driving and Shang-Da was sitting in the front seat. Xander had a weird dream last night. He had been somewhere else, with other people, fighting vampires. A lady with red hair that looked like his Willow cast a spell on him. Xander remembered an axe. His axe. He had used it to kill vampires.


“Richard, are you a Woof like my friend Oz? He becomes a big red wolf when the moon is full. Do you have to stay in a cage when you do the wolf-thing?” Xander had decided that Richard wouldn’t punish him for asking questions like his parents did, so he would ask about Richard being a wolf.


Richard squeaked like a mouse when the little boy spoke. The child knew he was a monster?! Shang-Da’s eyes were wide and Jamil was gripping the steering wheel in a white knuckled grip. “H-how? How did you know I was a wolf? Are y-you ok with it?” Richard could tell that the other two werewolves were dying to know as well.

“Yeah. Cause, I could sense it. You feel funny. Like Oz does. But dat's cool! Willow an her girlfriend Gle- um Tara is witches. Animal peoples feel stronger then other people. Almost like vampires, but vampires always smell a little like fresh turned earth. When I was big I could kinda tell what was the what. But now everything tells me.”

With that said the little boy stopped talking and looked out the window. Xander smiled. Richard wasn’t mad at him for talking! Happily he snuggled into the big man’s side.

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


Xander frowned as he followed the were’s into the store. As they entered the doors another wolf was waiting, this one was short and had a kind face. Feeling shy Xander grasped Richard’s hand.

“Hello.” Said Xander softly.

The were gave him a big smile and knelt down to his level. He held out a hand for Xander to shake. “Hi! I’m Jason. Would you like to hang out?” He said in a nice voice.

Xander nodded as he shook Jason’s hand. He smiled as Jason picked him up. “So where’d you get the PJ’s?” Asked Jason. Usually little boys liked Spiderman or something like that. But this little boy was wearing expensive teddy bear PJ’s.

“My auntie Jena got them for me! I love teddy bears so she got me blue ones!” Xander said as he pointed at the dark blue bear on the light blue fabric. Then his cheer darkened a bit. “But my daddy don’t like my night clothes. He said day look fagoty. Do you like them, Jason?”


“Course I do! It looks cute on you!” Said Jason as he lead the were’s to a fancy clothing store. It had everything from sport clothes to things you’d need for church. Jason and Xander looked at cool shirts with funny sayings while the other grabbed him socks and the essentials.

“Can you dress yourself Xander?” Asked Jason as he handed Xander a black t-shirt and blue white wash jeans.

Xander gave him a dirty look. “Course I can! Had to learn when I was a littler boy!” He said in a proud voice. “Mommy said when she was busy I ‘ave to be a big boy and care for meself!” With that said Xander walked into the changing room his head held high.

“That’s some kid you’ve gotten yourself, Richard.”

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

Xander came out a few minutes later, his shirt was backwards but his pants were on right. Adjusting his shirt Jason smiled at the little boy. The black shirt with white writing ‘I’m so cool I’m hot!’ made him look like a mini punk.

“We should get you an earring then I could take you rocking!” Said Jason as he plopped a dark blue cap on his dark wavy head.


“I could be a sinner! Willow said I have a good voice!” He said as he raised his arms wanting Richard to pick him up.


“I think you mean a singer?”Said Richard.

Xander frowned at him. “That’s what I said!”

Going over to the shoes Richard picked two pairs of blue sneakers, a pair of dress shoes and some sandals. They were about to leave the mall and go back to the car when Xander dug his feet into the ground. He looked at Richard with pleading eyes. “You said if I was a good boy you’d take me to the toy store.”


Richard looked at the child holding his hand to the car then the other were’s looking at him. “Okay. Lets go.” He just couldn’t seam to say no to the little boy. He sighed. So much for being the tough pack leader he was.

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

Entering Toy’s R Us the were’s felt kinda silly entering the kid store. The place was packed with youngsters and smiling mothers. Shifting from foot to foot the were’s looked at the wide-eyed little boy.


“You lead Xan. Get whatever you want.” Said Richard in a soft voice. Xander seamed to vibrate with excitement for a second then he was gone, just a puff of smoke left in his wake. The were’s blinked


“Where did he go?” Said Jamil.
