Ficathon Story
May. 12th, 2007 11:35 pmI have it done so I'm posting a little early. Just so my flist doesn't lose it in the shuffle I put up a new chapter of Truth & Poss. today too.
Title: A Baby Story
Rating: G
Pairing: Buffy/Spike brief mention of Xander/Dawn
Summary: This takes place ten years after Chosen in the same universe as my fic “Back From Africa Again.” I thought it would be interesting if they actually had to try to have a family.
Disclaimer: I don’t pretend to own any of these characters and I’m not making any money off them.

It was early Sunday evening and the start of Buffy and Spike's day off. Buffy was paging through a catalog while using Spike’s chest as a comfy cushion. “Oh, this bag is cute, but do you think I should get something more luggage-like? Xander is going to be carrying it as much as Dawn.”
“Hmm, the denim one with the little Tigger on it is a nice compromise. You want one, don’t you?”
“A diaper bag or a Tigger?” Buffy asked, knowing he didn’t mean either.
Spike said, “A baby. Seems everyone we know is in the family way lately.”
Sure, it was going to be fun to play auntie to Dawn and Xander’s little boy and to the kids of the few Slayers who had a family. But Buffy still killed her houseplants. She didn’t actually want a baby of her own. Well, she didn’t want to want one. It had taken so long for her and Spike to work things out. She didn’t want him to think she was unhappy with just him. “I’m over wanting what everybody else has.” It was mostly true. “I have something nobody else can.”
“What’s that, love?”
“You.” That was definitely true. ( Read more... )
