Summary: A quick peek into the lives of Xander, Spike and Quinn. A Christmas Fic Card for Auntyk.
“Baba, up!” Spike swooped in and lifted Quinn high in the air.
“That good?” he teased.
“Stop, Baba!” Her laughter tinkled through the house like the glass bells that Tara had hung from their front doorstep.
Xander laughed, infusing the warm picture with his own distinct voice. “Spike, quit teasing. If she doesn’t get to bed soon, Santa will pass us by.”
Quinn turned an unhappy, scowling face to her Daddy before looking down at Spike. “No! No! No!”
Spike laughed and brought her down to his body, kissing the soft curls on her head. “It’s alright, love. Here.”
He lifted her slowly to the top of the tree and she carefully balanced the star atop the tree. Spike brought her back down and they walked over to turn off the lights in the room. Spike and Quinn settled on the couch next to Xander, all three staring at the beauty of their tree. The warm fire crackled in the fireplace as the soft sounds of a crooning Bing Crosby filled the room.
