FADING SHADOWS (15/15)
 

Six Months Later
 

"Delia, come on" Xander whined, waiting for his girlfriend.
 

Willow looked up from her place on the couch, laying across Spike's lap.
She smiled as the two lovers came in and sat down. "Hey guys."
 

"You sure you two don't want to party hearty with us?" Xander asked.
 

"Nah...you seven have fun. Spike and I plan to spend a nice quiet
evening at home." Willow said.
 

"Are you insinuating that we aren't quiet?" Faith asked, winking at the
redhead.
 

"Nope. Flat out telling you" Spike said, laughing.
 

"Watch it boy" Angelus warned playfully.
 

"Children. Cut it out" Giles voice rang over the room.
 

"Yes Giles" both vamprires said, not wanting to disobey the Head
Watcher. He might get the entire council on them if they kept on.
 

'You two have fun" Drusilla said, kissing Willow and Spike before taking
Angelus' arm. If anyone had told her that one day she'd be living with
six humans and loving every minute of it, she'd have thought they were
crazy. But, this was her family. She smiled as she looked at Angelus,
"Can we hunt?"
 

"Yes, love. We'll meet up the rest of you later" Angelus said, walking
out with Drusilla. The others said their goodbyes to Willow and Spike
and followed the vampires.
 

"Blimey...I didn't think that they'd ever leave" Spike said. Since the
nine of them had moved into the large mansion in the garden district of
New Orleans, he and Willow never had a moment alone together.
 

"You do realize that you and I are rather prudish don't you?" Willow
asked, a teasing look in her eyes as she pulled her shirt over her head.
 

'How so, pet?" he asked, pushing his jeans down around his ankles. He
pulled his own shirt over his head and looked at her.
 

"Everyone in this house is shagging each other at one time or another
except for us." She pointed out with a small smile as she shimmied out
of her pants.
 

Spike snorted, "Told you before, pet. If you want to play you can. I
don't really want more than you, though."
 

She straddled his lap, sinking down onto his hardness. "Nope. I much
prefer our private orgies of two."
 

"My thoughts exactly, luv" he said, kissing her deeply as he thrust into
her. "Do regret that we can't shag anywhere we want though. Damn twits
would get off on watching though...."
 

"Let them...they won't be joining us, so who cares?" Willow asked as she
moved against him.
 

"You're right, as always" Spike said, grinning at the idea of openly
shagging her wherever he wanted. "One reason I love you."
 

"Are you happy?" Willow asked, sinking down on him again.
 

"Very" he said truthfully. "You?"
 

"Oh yeah" she said. "I have friends, a family, a job with the council
and you. Of course, I'd be happy if I only had you."
 

"Aw...you say the sweetest things, Red" he said, kissing her.
 

"Love you too" she said, kissing him back.

They moved together as the shadows grew outside. The moon suddenly shone
brightly, making the shadows fade as the new family laughed and played
together. She smiled against his mouth as she realized that things were
finally perfect. Since Cordelia had showed some interest in Angelus, he
had left Willow alone. She and Spike were able to just be together with
no constant worries that Angelus would want Willow. He had several
others to choose from now. Of course, Willow wasn't stupid. The longer
they all lived together, the more chances there would be that she and
Spike would eventually play with the others too. But, until then, they
had each other. That was what was important. Her life was finally at a
happy place again, completely. She deepened the kiss, wondering what she
had done to be lucky enough to find Spike. She was never letting him go.
She cried out as she came, his cool seed entering her. She smiled at
him, seeing the love in his eyes. Her other half.
