AN: Yeah, I know I haven't finished any of the others I've been
working on. So you won't be surprised to find that this one will be
updated very rarely. I'm going to try to finish a couple of other
fics. So I have no idea how long it will take.

AN2: This is post chip Spike, but presoul. Doyle is still alive and
Oz is still with Willow. Anya never returned from wherever it is she
went. Also this is going to reflect a little bit of a fic
search/challenge that I issued a while back that had Oz kidnapping
Xander to punish him for kissing Willow. Richie is still alive and
the demon was destroyed with the help of a certain Slayer and her
friends.

Summary: Xander sacrifices himself to save those he loves. How will
they live with what he's done?

Thanks to my wonderful beta Edi.





Chapter 5: The Marriage of William the Bloody






Angel and Oz looked back and forth between Spike and the boy on the
hospital bed. "You two are married?" Oz asked, confused.


Spike nodded shortly, glaring at the Harris's. "They did it. It was
all the bloody Watcher's fault. He had to make time for his stupid
bint and sent me to stay with the whelp."



\flashback//




Spike watched as the boy gathered up the coiled rope that the Watcher
had sent along. He glared at the whelp as he turned to face him.
Xander squirmed uncomfortably. He really didn't want Spike there, or
tied to his chair.


This was all Giles' fault. He had William the Bloody in his basement
and had to pretend to live down there. Thankfully, his parents were
out of town on a hunt. If they found Spike there they would be
really pissed.


They had hated Anya. In fact the former demon and his mother had
some sort of feud going and he had been forbidden to be in her
company. Not that he really minded, Anya was a little too aggressive
for him. There was also the fact that Willow hated her. She disliked her
even more than she had Cordy.


Xander had always figured that Willow had been right in the long run
on that occasion. It seemed when it came to his love life, Willow was
always right. The only mistake between them was Spike's and a love
spell's fault.


Xander sighed and walked over to where Spike was sitting in his old,
beat up recliner. Spike watched, impressed, as the whelp tied him up
proficiently. As soon as he was done, Xander sighed and slumped down
onto the floor.


"What's wrong with you, whelp?" Spike growled.


"I forgot to feed you," Xander said mournfully. Spike blinked in
surprise.


Xander pushed himself back to his feet. He untieike,ike, then tied
him back up, leaving his hands free. Turning away, he walked over to
the little refrigerator and grabbed a bag of blood, then began to
prepare Spike's dinner.


He was in the middle of handing Spike his dinner when his parents
came running down the stairs. Xander froze in shock and looked at
them.


"Alexander, why do you have a vampire tied up to a chair?" Francesca
asked.


Xander blushed, "I can explain."



\End of Flashback//




"So, Xander starts trying to explain, but the gits aren't listening and
the next thing we know there's a Milun'ete priestess announcing us
mated and that Xander is my new master. Needless to say, Xander and I
were pissed and he didn't talk to anyone for nearly two months. The
boy still won't acknowledge me as his mate and he's still pissed,"
Spike finished up.


Angel and Oz were stunned. "Does Willow know?" Oz asked.


"Yes, the only thing that Xander has kept from her is what you did."
Spike answered.


Oz looked down in shame and wondered if Willow would ever forgive him
for what he had done, and for lying to her.
