Chapter 1

Dawn quietly enters Buffy's office. She sees that her nephew is sleeping, so she quietly makes her way over to them. Buffy looks up and she approaches.

" Hey, how was school? "

" Great. Luckily everyone see that I am not like my sister. At least I don't burn down the buildings. "

" Very funny. " Buffy sighs and shifts Brian.

" Do you want me to take him for a little while? "

" Um...sure. He's been fed. He should be out for another hour. I should get some of this work done. " Dawn looks closely at Buffy.

" You were thinking about Spike again. " It was a statement not a question.

" I can't help it. Brian looks so much like him. It gets so hard sometimes. "

" I know, Buffy. Just remember that he loves us and is probably looking down on us and is proud at how far we have come. Here, I'll take Bri for about an hour and you can remember your Spike. If you have to call Giles or Angel. " Dawn kisses Buffy's cheek, then takes Brian and places him in his carrier. She grabs his bag and takes him to the playroom Xander built for him. Buffy is left in her office to once again grieve for her lost love.
