Chapter Seven 

 

"The Big Day!"

 

 

"What the hell are you doing?"  Buffy screeched at the offending four robe-clad demons.  "I'm getting married tomorrow!  Couldn't you have waited a week?!"

 

The demons didn't look up, didn't stop.

 

"Ugghhh!"  Buffy threw up her hands in frustration.  Spike and her had been counting on a brief, secret meeting ( since Joyce had said that they couldn't see each other before the wedding) but they'd happened upon Willy, who told them he had some information.

 

After a little...persuading, he liberated said information.  He'd heard some warlock-types talking about raising some hell beasts in time for the slayer's big day.

 

Retracting her sword, Buffy raised it above one of their heads, ready to descend and stop the spell, as Spike did the same.  However, they were pushed back by an invisible barrier as the demons chanted on.

 

"Son of a..."  Spike growled as he and Buffy had to wait for them to finish.

 

A few moments later they both felt the barrier disappear and they fell forward...into nothing.

 

The warlocks had vanished.

 

"Did they complete the spell?"  Buffy asked.

 

"I think so pet."  Spike nodded.

 

"Ugh! This is SO not funny!"

 

Spike reached out to put calming hands on her agitated shoulders.  "Its okay, pet."

 

"Spike, its NOT-"

 

He interrupted her.  "Yes it is.  We'll just get the witch to put up some protection thing, we get married, have some cake then go kick demon arse."

 

Buffy scowled at him, her scowl slowly dissolving into a smile...then finally to laughter.

 

Spike grinned at her, bringing her closer so that he could kiss her.

 

"I love you."  She murmured against his lips.

 

"Show me how much."  Buffy suggested, pulling him in the direction of the mansion.

 

----

 

"We are gathered today to witness the union of William Windsor and Elizabeth Summers...."

 

Joyce sniffed, clutching her hanker-chief to her face as her tears dripped on to it as the ceremony continued.

 

Giles was torn between being happy for his ward and concerned for the witch's in the background.

 

Tara and William sat in the background, surrounded by candles, their hands joined as they muttered fast-spoken Latin under their breath. 

 

They could feel the demon's outside, battling against the barrier around the building.

 

The official's voice wavered as a loud roar erupted from outside.  He glanced fearfully to the couple in front of him; an obviously pissed-off fake-blonde pair.

 

"Uh, should I continue?"  He asked them.

 

"Please."  Buffy nodded, trying to smile reassuringly at the Judge through gritted teeth.

 

"Do you William..."

 

"I wish he'd get on with it!"  Xander muttered in the background.

 

Cordy kicked him, "Ow!  What?"  He whispered harshly, earning a disapproving look from Giles in front.

 

The cheerleader just glared at him.

 

Spike smiled down at Buffy as he spoke. "I do."  He started to lean down to kiss her but the Judges words stopped him

 

"And do you, Elizabeth..."

 

Willow and Tara continued to mutter their curse, praying that it was still strong enough to guard the registry office they were in.

 

"I do."  Buffy finished, smiling at her almost-husband.

 

"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife.  You may kiss the bride."  The judge announced, smiling at the couple.

 

In the background, Joyce sniffed lightly and even Giles was hard pressed to with-hold his happiness at the euphoria on his wards' face.  Spike squeezed Buffy's hands as he leant down to claim his kiss.

 

His lips brushed slowly over hers and time seemed to stand still as the slayer and vampire slowly deepened the kiss.

 

CRASH!!!

 

They all jumped at the loud bang from outside and the newly weds reluctantly broke apart.

 

"Damn it!"  Spike swore under his breath.

 

"Okay, Giles get my mom and Judge Peterson outta here!  Xander get ready to move Willow and Tara out of the line of fire."  They all nodded and Buffy turned to the cheer-leader.  "Cordy: help me out of my dress and Spike-"

 

His arms wrapped around her waist, tugging her back against him as he nuzzled her neck, "How’s about I help you out of your dress and the-"

 

Buffy detached herself, laughing, "No Spike!  You wait here, I'll be a minute - make sure nothing gets through."

 

"If I must."  Spike rolled his eyes and smiled at her.

 

"Love you."

 

"Love you too, pet."

 

"Ugh, can we hurry it up?"  Cordy snapped.

 

"Look-"  Spike started.

 

Buffy interrupted.  "We're gone."  Spike smirked as the cheerleader pulled the slayer away from the vampire.

 

---

 

Buffy and Spike looked out at the ten or so demons that were raging against the barrier outside.

 

The slayer nodded at Cordelia who had switched places with Xander so that he could help fight, and she nodded back.

 

"You ready, pet?"

 

"Ready."  Buffy nodded, smiling as he leaned down to brush his lips over hers.

 

"Bring it on."  He whispered against her lips.

 

Buffy pulled back and pushed herself into slayer-mode.  "Willow - if you can hear me - we're ready, let the shield down."

 

Thirty seconds later the shield was down.......and all hell broke loose.

 

---

 

"What’s all this?"  Spike asked as he slowly sat up in bed, his body still aching from last nights fighting....both in and out of bed.

 

"Breakfast in bed for my hubby!"  Buffy explained, placing the tray on his lap and curling up next to him.  "Feeling better?"

 

Spike swallowed the gulp of blood in his mouth and answered, "Yeah; what about you...I remember you were a bit...knocked up last night too."  He smirked at her and she scowled.

 

Buffy flicked him, "Pig."

 

"Yeah."  He grinned at her, taking another sip as he glanced around the tray.  There was a couple of pieces of buttered toast, scrambled eggs, OJ and a single flower in a thin vase.  "I see you like the kitchen."

 

"Mmm - me and kitchens are not mixy usually but I really love yours-"

 

"Ours."  Spike corrected.

 

Buffy smiled.  "Ours.  Has a great ring to it, huh?"

 

"I think so."  Spike smirked at her, lifting the tray off his lap and pulling Buffy on to it.  "You like the house, right?  I mean if you don't, we can move."

 

"I love it."  She quickly reassured him.  She looked around.  "I can't believe its the same place, it must have cost you a fortune."  She re-iterated, in reference to the recently redecorated mansion.

 

"Yeah, but fortunes we got."  Spike reminded her, impressed himself with the new decor.  Buffy hadn't been all that fond of the darker tones around the place.  Now all of that had been replaced with soft beiges and creams.

 

"Hmmm - I love you."  She whispered.

 

"Pfft!  You only love me for my money!"  Spike grinned.

 

"Well duh...why, did you think I'd married you for something else?"  Buffy teased.

 

She squealed as she was suddenly flipped on to her back, "Maybe my sexy body?"

 

"Who told you it was sexy?"  Buffy asked, appearing all-innocent.

 

"You, pet."  Spike replied confidently and Buffy grinned.

 

"It's shocking what I'll do for money!"

 

He growled playfully, swooping down to kiss her.

 

---

 

"So, who's sexy?"  Spike asked, a few hours later when they were both too tired to move.

 

"Okay, fine you were right!"  Buffy agreed, moaning as he nuzzled her neck.

 

"Obviously.  Who?"  He demanded.

 

"Ooooooooh!"  Buffy as his talented fingers roamed her skin, moving down between her legs.

 

"Whoooo--oooooh!"  Spike sang, his request turning into a moan as his wife's hands warm began unconsciously moving over his flesh.

 

"SSSSPPPPPPIIIIIIKKKKKKEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!"  Buffy screamed out her husbands name as she came.

 

Spike pressed gentle kisses across her sweating brow, holding her close as she came down from her high.

 

"So, you gonna answer?"  Spike grinned down at her and she licked her lips, still panting.

 

Buffy nodded violently.

 

"Brad Pitt."
