Buffy stood in the doorway and stared dreamily into the dim room. The only light in the living room was the tiny glow of the Christmas tree lights.
She spotted her fiancé in a rocking chair. He had his eyes
closed and was softly singing a lullaby. The tiny baby in this arms was
playing with his dad’s finger.
She remembers their last night in another life … in a
different country…. It was a night of love and passion. The
night that she conceived, their child.
“A penny for your thoughts. “
She hadn’t realised that Spike had noticed her in the doorway
and he tilted his head at her. “I was just thinking about old
times”, she said and smiled as she entered the room.
“Ahh…the old days …when I was a
monster, and you my arch enemy!” he replied with an evil
grin.
Buffy looked down at the two loves of her live and she realized
something. “Did you know that is your first Christmas as a
human?”
“Yeah…. it’s his first Christmas,
too” he answered, as if he could read her thoughts.
“ I hope we will have a lot of those. In the years to
come.”
She looked at him and drowned in the striking blue of his soulful eyes.
“I love you, William.”
“I love you too, baby” He briefly glanced at his
watch before he looked at her again. “Merry Christmas,
luv!”
She lowered her head and kissed him softly on the lips.
“Merry Christmas!”
THE END!
