Chapter 9
5 MONTHS LATER
Spike pulls the car into the grocery store parking lot. "You sure you want to
do this now?"
"We're hungry and we need groceries." Dawn shrugs stroking her middle "God I
can't believe I'm seven months pregnant... I look like a whale."
"You look beautiful luv." Spike leans across the seat kissing her
"Thanks. Now lets get this done"
Spike goes around to the passenger side helping Dawn out of the car.
His hand in the small of her back he leads her into the store "So what do my
girls want?"
"Why are you so sure its a girl?" Dawn asks "The doc couldn't tell"
Spike grins shrugging "Its a vamp thing."
Dawn smiles "Lets get going."
"So what do we need?"
"Um food. Shampoo."
"I need some smokes." Spike grabs a shopping cart "Lets get started" they
start their way through the store. Ten minutes through the store they reach the
chips
"Oh Spike I forgot to get some carrots"
"Anything else?" Spike asks
"Not that I can think of" Dawn replies
Spike kisses her cheek "Be right back luv."
"OK" Dawn smiles turning her attention to the selection of chips before her.
"Hmm what do we want?" she mutters stroking her middle she turns abruptly to
see tall skinny man who had raped her standing beside a woman dressed in a
bright red leather skirt and black halter top. "Oh my God" she gasps stunned at
the sight of the man who might be her baby's father
The man looks over his eyes narrowing at the sight of Dawn standing there. His
eyes taking in her pregnant middle he takes a step forward
'Spike' her eyes glued on the man moving closer not noticing Spike behind the
man before Spike steps between them. "Spike" she says relieved
Spike looks at the man his eyes cold "You OK Dawn?" he glances at Dawn seeing
her nod he looks at the man "Help you with somethin' mate?"
"Clint what's going on?" the woman demands her hands on her hips as she glares
at her boyfriend
The man, Clint barely glances at the woman "Who's is it?"
Dawn stares at him moving closer to Spike
"Mine" Spike snarls
Seeing the terror on Dawn's face Clint smirks "Is it?"
Dawn swallows "Spike can we leave" she asks softly
"Sure" Spike glares at the other man "Stay away from them." he puts his arm
around Dawn's shoulder holding her close he guides her out of the store to the
car.
"Spike he's going to tell the others." she whispers terrified
"It'll be OK Dawn." Spike assures pulling her against his side. "Those guys
are the type who don't care about being fathers."
Dawn sighs "Maybe." she rests her head on his shoulder "Just take me home" she
whispers
Spike starts the car making note to call the grocery store and have them
deliver. They drive to the apartment in silence.
Once inside Dawn silently walks into the bedroom laying down she hugs herself.
'It'll be OK. Spike's right'
Spike enters the bedroom sitting on the edge of the bed "Hungry pet? I could
order you something."
Dawn shakes her head
"Why don't you get some rest luv"
"Stay?"
Spike nods smoothing her hair out of her face "I will" he lays down behind her
curling his body around hers resting his hand on her pregnant stomach smiling
as he feels the movement.
Dawn rests her hand over his lacing their fingers "I love you"
"I love you too" he kisses the back of her head
2 DAYS LATER
Dawn sits on the couch with her journal she begins to write
'Spike's sleeping right now. So's the baby' she smiles looking at her stomach
'I think if Spike's right about it being a girl then she's definately going to
be a Daddy's girl. She sleeps when he sleeps then spends the night awake. Which
isn't really fun for me but it is for Spike. He likes talking to her telling
her all he's going to teach her when she's born. When he purrs she calms down.
Spike's getting to be good at being Daddy and she's not even born yet.'
Dawn stops writing when she hears a knock at the door. Setting her journal
down she manages to stand making her way to the door she opens it to find a man
wearing a suit standing there. "Yes?"
"Dawn Summers?"
Dawn frowns nodding
"Here" the man holds out a piece of paper
Feeling a chill she swallows taking the paper "Thanks" she closes the door
opening the paper she finds a court order. "Oh my God" she pales reading the
paper "SPIKE" she yells sinking to the floor
Hearing the panic Spike bolts up from a sound sleep. He jumps out of bed
rushing out of the bedroom he finds Dawn on the floor pale "Dawn what's wrong?"
Dawn looks at him "The-they"
Spike picks up the fallen paper he reads it 'A court ordered blood test filed
by all three of them.' he lets out a strangled snarl
"They want the baby." Dawn sobs her arms around her middle
"Its just a blood test Dawn."
Dawn shakes her head "Once they know who the father is their going to take her
away." she looks at him "Spike I don't want them near my baby." "Dawn calm
down. This isn't good for the baby." Spike pulls her onto his lap "I swear they
won't take the baby. Just calm down." he rocks her "Please Dawn. It'll be OK"
he kisses her temple "I promise"
Dawn wraps her arms around his neck sobbing into his shoulder
Spike holds her as she cries finally once she stops he stands with Dawn in his
arms he carries her over to the couch. "It'll be OK Dawn" he assures "we'll
leave... disappear."
"We can't Spike. If we disappear and they find us they will take her away."
Spike sighs needlessly knowing she's right "Then we'll fight them in court.
I'll call a lawyer"
Hearing that Dawn lifts her head "Call my Dad."
"Dawn..."
"Spike he's the only one we can trust with the truth if need be. One of your
guys might spill just because. Remember what happened with the doc. He betrayed
us in the end."
Spike nods "Alright. I'll call your father. Should I tell him its about you?"
Dawn shrugs "I don't know. Tell him whatever you can to get him here."
"OK." he nods
"I'm going to go lay down." Dawn stands making her way into the bedroom
Spike goes over to his desk opening a drawer he takes out a piece of paper
with a phone number "I knew this would come in handy one day" he mutters
picking up the phone he dials. He listens as the line rings
"Hank Summers office how may I help you?" asks the secretary
"Hello I need to speak to Mr Summers." Spike requests
"Mr Summers is in a meeting can I take a message?"
"Tell him its in regard to his daughter Dawn and its important I speak to him."
The secretary remains silent stunned by the man's words "Uh hold on a moment
let me get him."
Spike remains on hold and after a moment a man picks up
"Dawn?"
"Mr Summers I'm Dawn's mate its important that we speak."
"Who are you?" Hank demands
"The names Spike"
"Where's my daughter?" Hank asks
Spike sighs "She's resting right now"
"How do I know your not lying to me?" Hank questions
"Bloody hell" Spike grumbles "Hold on let me get her." Spike enters the
bedroom to find Dawn staring at the wall "Dawn luv your father wants to speak
to you" he says
Dawn looks at him and nods taking the phone "Daddy its me"
"Oh my God. Dawn where are you? Are you OK? I thought you were dead" Hank says
rushed
"I'm sorry Daddy." Dawn sniffles
"Where are you?" Hank asks
"Boston. Daddy I need your help."
"What's wrong?" Hank demands
"Daddy can you come out here? It'll be easier to explain."
"Sure honey I'll have my associates take over. I'll get the first flight out."
"OK Spike can tell you where we are. I'm too tired."
"OK sweetie. I'll see you as soon as possible. I love you Dawn"
"I love you too Daddy" Dawn smiles sadly handing the phone to Spike.
"Mr Summers" Spike says walking out of the bedroom
"What's wrong with my daughter? Who are you?"
"She's pregnant." Spike says moving away from the bedroom door
"What?!"
"That's why I called... we need your help."
"How so?"
Spike sits down "Seven months ago Dawn was raped. We were just served with a
court order for blood tests."
"If its yours then just take the test." Hank says
"Its not mine" Spike says sadly "one of the three blokes who raped her is the
father."
"Oh my God is she OK?"
"Look Dawn wants you to help... personally I would have called someone else
but she wants you to help."
"What's your address? I'll take the first flight out."
Spike frowns 'I don't trust the bloody prick.' "Get a flight out. I'll call
you back in two hours."
"Give me your number."
"Fine I'll give you my cell." Spike gives him the number knowing that if the
man tries to track the phone he'll get an address in LA.
"I'll call you as soon as I get a flight."
"Good" Spike hangs up
"Spike?" Dawn calls
"Yes luv?" he enters the bedroom "you OK?" he sits on the edge of the bed
"Need something?"
Dawn takes his hand pressing it against her middle "She wants attention"
Spike smiles moving down the bed he presses his lips against her belly "Shh
its OK. I won't let anyone take you from us." he looks at Dawn "I promise. I
love you and your Mum." he watches amazed as her stomach moves he chuckles
"That's my girl... be nice for your Mum she's gotta carry you for another three
months. Then you can kick and move all you want"
Dawn smiles running her fingers through his hair "Is he coming?" Dawn asks
Spike nods his eyes on his hand resting on her extended stomach waiting for
the next movement "He's going to get a flight out. Told him to call me when he
does. I'll send a car for him." he smiles pressing his lips against her belly
"That's a girl." he sits beside Dawn pulling her against his side.
"Why not just tell him where we live?"
"Because he could send cops here."
"Why would he do that?"
"Because to him I kidnapped you." Spike replies
"But you didn't." Dawn argues
"To him I did. Just relax Dawnie. You've had enough stress today"
Dawn nods "OK." Dawn snuggles against him "Love you Spike"
"I love you too little bit"
HOUR LATER
Spike grabs the phone before it can wake Dawn " 'ello?" he greets walking out
of the bedroom
"Its Hank Summers."
"Figured" Spike retorts
"I got a flight out. My flight will be in around nine"
"Someone will be there to pick you up. What gate?"
"33B United."
Spike writes it down "OK"
"Who are you?"
"The bloke who loves your daughter." Spike replies "Like I said someone will
pick you up."
"Can I talk to Dawn?"
"Sorry she's sleepin' right now."
Hank sighs "Just take care of her."
"I have and always will" Spike hangs up the phone.
