Chpt27 -- Spike

Old Flame...

A/N *---* indicates words being said inside Spike's head.

I'm gonna kill him.

Any minute now.

If she wasn't laughing so hard I would as well.

I feel a smile start to break over my face but quickly quell the urge.

Big Bad's don't smile at whelp's jokes.

They don't.

Oh, fine.

I smile.

But it's at my slayer.

I take in a deep breath.

It's more habit than anything else.

A habit I seem to have rekindled since we've been together.

Probably because I spend most of the time that she's asleep watching her - making sure she's okay!

Hey! What can a de-

What's that?

I frown, and look around the dark, smokey room.

Something’s not right.

I could almost swear I...

*Can you feel me, pet?*

Oh, God.

I knew this day would come.

Somehow I knew the pricks that be couldn't leave us alone for long.

I mean, hell we've been pretty blissful for nearly two months.

Definitely time to drop a big pile of shit on us!

My eyes dart about the place.

I can feel her.

Hear her call.

*Dru?*

*Come to mummy, darling.*

Darling...darling...darling...

The word bounces around my head but it doesn't bring back memories of a dark princess.

But a golden one.

Can you feel it, darling? Our baby's kicking!

Her call doesn't affect me like it used to.

I'm under a different thrall.

Cast be someone who doesn't even realise what she's done.

Tamed a master, tamed a demon....

Tamed my soul.

I turn to her as she calls my name, worry in her eyes.

"Spike?"

Oh, God.

The baby.

Never again.

I promised that.

For both of them.

And for me.

"We have to get out of here. Now."
