AUTHOR: Shellc
RATING: PG-15
DISCLAIMER: Buffy belongs to Joss Whedon
SUMMARY: Angelus gains the one thing he never thought he
would
“Isn’t it pretty?”
Drusilla was smiling as she ran over to Spike.
“It’s beautiful ducks”
Spike twirled his dark princess around the room
They had played the lost tourists to a couple so they would
let them in their house.
“Silly Rabbits” Dru grinned as she showed her true face
just before she had killed the woman and Spike had got rid of the man
“So what do we do now then sweetheart” Spike thrust her
against the wall. Maybe it was a vampire thing but he always got hot after the
kill
Drusilla looked at him then looked up at the ceiling.
“We have to take baby back to Angelus. He’s waiting for
her”
Spike sighed. Although Dru wasn’t that crazy anymore
there was still times that he wanted to shake her.
“What do you mean beautiful?” he had learned long ago
to just go with whatever she said.
Dru smiled before leaning over to whisper into his ear
“She’s so pretty and she’s ours forever William”
Before he had a chance to explain she pushed him away and
took the stairs two at a time
“Dru……….”
She either never heard him or ignored him. Either way she
was rushing up to whatever she was looking for
He sighed.
He had honestly thought that when she had got over her
Angelus obsession she would be back to normal . But after this little display he
guessed not
“Dru?”
He shouted as he followed her up the stairs
“Where are you?”
He finally found her in a bedroom
He had to laugh as he walked inside. It was a typical
little girl’s room. All Barbie dolls and My Little Pony’s
“Shh she’s sleeping”
Dru nudged him
“Who?”
He looked to where she was pointing and saw a little girl
no more than five sleeping on the bed oblivious to what had been going on
downstairs
“She’s ours William”
Dru smiled at him
He smiled back. This was the first time in what seemed like
forever that his black goddess had finally spoke sense
“So what are we waiting for?”
He picked the still sleeping girl up
“Let’s take our baby home”
And he followed Drusilla down the stairs into the car
“Of course I still love you Darla”
Angelus was getting annoyed. What had happened hadn’t
been his fault
“So why the hell did you sleep with her then?”
She screamed at her so-called mate
“What the fuck was I supposed to do you wouldn’t let me
near you” he snarled at her
“I thought you loved me Angelus”
“I do Darla it’s just you’ve been preoccupied lately
honey”
He walked over to his sire and pulled her to him before
kissing her softly
“I’m sorry sweetheart it’s just I have a feeling
something huge is about to happen and it’s scaring me”
He hooked his finger under her chin and brought it so his
eyes bore into hers
“What did I tell you baby?”
She sighed as she cuddled into his chest
“No matter what happens we are in this together”
“Exactly” he smiled
He hadn’t been this happy in a long time. He had his mate
with him as well as his childer. Drusilla of course he would protect with his
own life and Spike….
Well although he hated the idiot at first. The vampire had
slowly wormed his way into his affections although he would never admit it to
anyone
He heard the car pulling up outside and Dru and Spike
getting out and making their way towards the door.
“What…?
He looked at Darla something strange was going on and he
didn’t know if he wanted to know what
“My Angel”
He could hear Drusilla before he even saw her
He grinned when he heard his favorite childe’s voice.
“In here sweetheart”
Darla couldn’t help but smile at Angelus’ change of
mood. She had realized that all the years of jealousy had been worthless. Even
if Angelus had wanted Dru it would have been fruitless
The main man in her life was William or Spike as he liked
to be known now.
The change in atmosphere unnerved her and she growled when
she smelt the air
Angelus was puzzled until the odor reached him too
“Daddy we have a new member”
Drusilla came bounding into the Mansion followed by Spike
who was holding something wrapped in his arms
“What’s that Spike?’
Angelus’ query was met with a ‘Don’t ask” look
“William” Drusilla chided him “don’t be cruel”
“Can somebody please tell me what……
Darla trailed off when she saw what was in Spike’s arms
“Give” she held out her arms
Spike handed the small bundle over to her
She smiled
“Beautiful”
“What is?”
Angelus walked over to his mate to see what she was talking
about. He expected to see a jewel at the very least so what he laid his eyes
upon surprised him
“Who is she?” he looked up at Spike and Dru
“Ours” Darla grinned at her
“We had a snack on the way home not knowing that our
little princess was upstairs”
Spike nodded over
At that exact moment the girl chose to wake up. Not
recognizing anybody she screamed and squirmed so much that Darla had to let her
go
“Spunky little thing” Spike whispered to Angel
“You’re not my mommy” the little girl glared at Darla
“Oh precious” Darla bent down shocking Angelus and
Spike in the process and with sensitivity that even she didn’t know she had
she spoke to the child
“Mommy is in heaven now and she asked us to look after
you”
“Darla” Angelus hissed “What the fuck are you
doing?”
The little girl went red and stomped over to Angelus
He just stared at her
She look up and then kicked him in the shins
“You shouldn’t curse it’s bad”
The force had been hard enough to make him lose his balance
and fall. In all the excitement his demon had come forward
The girl looked at him then walked over beside him and
traced his ridges and fangs before giggling
“Your funny” she laughed
“Am I” he couldn’t help but smile. She was the cutest
thing he had ever seen
“Yeah you have a funny face”
He stood up surprised. Most adults were scared of his demon
never mind a five-year-old girl
He picked her up “And what’s your name little one?”
She looked away as if she was trying to remember leant over
and whispered into his ear
“Lislabeth Anne Summers”
“Lislabeth” he smiled “You mean Elizabeth”
She nodded
He held her in front of him as he looked at her
“You don’t look like Elizabeth”
“What about Buffy?” Spike asked as he walked over
“That’s not a name silly” the girl smiled
Spike looked at Angel asking permission
He nodded and handed Buffy over to Spike
“Yes it is” he looked at her
“Can you do that?”
“What?’ he looked at her
“Go lumpy?”
He smiled before showing her the answer
“We all can” he grinned a toothy smile as Dru and Darla
both backed him up
Buffy yawned
“Tired Princess?” Angelus smiled at her as he took her
back from Spike
She tried to speak but it was stopped by another yawn
“Okay let’s get you to bed”
He took her upstairs to his and Darla’s room and placed
her in the single bed that lay over from their double
“Promise you’ll be her in the morning?” she yawned
before sleep claimed her
“I’ll be here as long as you need me baby” he
answered
“And why should I help you?”
Angelus was in the middle of another meeting. Some idiot
fledgling had got himself into trouble and he was begging the Master of the City
for help
“Because you’re my only hope Master” Anthony bowed to
him
The door opened and Buffy walked in with a toy in her arm
She found what she was looking for and jumped into his arms
“Thank you daddy” she smiled at him
“That’s okay Princess as long as you like him” he
grinned as he settled her into his arms
Buffy had taken to their world like a duck to water. She
was calling Darla and him Mommy and Daddy and she had her Uncle Spike and Auntie
Drusilla who dressed her up in lovely clothes and made her hair lovely
“Buffy… there you are baby” Darla came into the room
“Let’s go get piggy settled and leave daddy to talk to
the man” she took Buffy out of Angelus’ arms not before the girl kissed him
on the cheek
“He’s not called piggy Mommy” she smiled “I’m
calling him Mr Gordo”
“Why’s that sweetheart?”
“I heard it on the TV when I was watching a film with
Uncle Spike”
“What kind of film?” Darla wasn’t too happy. She knew
William was a bad influence on her daughter
“Some kong pooey film” Buffy answered
Darla giggled as she hugged Buffy “You mean Kung Fu
Princess?”
“Who was that?” Anthony looked at the door long after
Buffy and Darla left the room
“None of your concern” Angelus looked over the papers
that had been handed to him
“So your fattening her up before you kill her then” he
grinned
He didn’t even see Angelus getting up before his head was
tore from his body
“What happened?” Spike walked in the room a few minutes
later
“Threatened my little girl” Angelus answered not even
looking up
“Wish I had been there” Spike growled as his demon
showed
“We have a problem” Angelus finally looked up
“Someone’s plotting to take over from us
“Who?” Spike took the papers that the older vampire
handed him
“Penn” he looked up “Can he?”
“He can try?” Angelus shrugged “But we aren’t going
to let him
“Does he know that we know”
Angelus shook his head
“Element of surprise” Spike looked at him
“We leave tomorrow”
“What about Buf? Darla and Dru won’t leave her with
just anyone”
“Would you?”
Angelus already knew the answer. Spike would die for the
little girl upstairs
“So who do we know strong enough to look after her that
we trust?”
“I already phoned somebody he will be here tonight”
Angelus answered
“Do you have to go Mommy”
Buffy was sitting in her bed while Darla was brushing her
hair
“I’m sorry princess we have to” the vampire really
didn’t want to leave her child but she had no choice
“So who’s looking after me?” she picked up a lolly
that her uncle Spike had gave her
“Thanks for coming at such short notice” Angelus shook
the other man’s hand
“No problem you said it was an emergency. Where is
she?”
“I’ll take you up now”
He walked in and saw a sight he never ever thought he would
ever see Drusilla sitting on the bed with Miss Edith and Darla braiding a little
girl’s hair
“Daddy” she yelled when she saw who walked in the room
and jumped off the bed and into the vampire’s arms
“Hello Princess” he accepted the kiss she gave him
“Who are you?” she immediately got defensive not
knowing who the other vampire was
“It’s okay sweetie he’s a friend of daddy’s”
Darla got off the bed and stood next to her mate
“Hey Buffy” he held out his hand “My names Randy”
Buffy giggled “You’ve got a funny name”
Everyone in the room couldn’t help but smile
“I guess it is” he smiled back
An hour later the four vampires were all packed and ready
to leave
“Don’t you have to go?” Randy asked
“Be a good girl for Uncle Randy okay Princess?” Angelus
really didn’t want to leave his baby girl but knew he had to
“I will daddy” she knew the tears were going to come
but she was trying to be a big girl in front of everyone
“Love you lots” he kissed her
“Love you more” she choked
He had to get in the car. He knew if he stayed a minute
longer he would never leave
“Are you sure she’ll be alright?” he asked Darla for
the millionth time
“Of course baby he will look after her”
“He better or I swear he will regret the day he was
born” the vampire snarled
