scratching at the back of my mind...

[pretty-in-fangs.livejournal.com]

I read a fic a while ago now that was a baby fic, but with a twist. Spike was gone (I think becuase Buffy chose Riley over him, not sure) and Buffy got pregnant by Riley. When Riley found out, he freaked and said he wanted nothing to do with Buffy or the child, thus shattering Buffy's illusion that they were living a perfect life together. Spike came back to town, possibly with revenge on his mind, and climbed in Buffy's window which was now a nursery, and found the little one asleep in a cradle. I remember that she opened her eyes and Spike realized he was now the property of yet another Summers woman. Then Buffy caught him there with the baby. Time goes by, Spike and Buffy start to get along, he moves in, and at somepoint Riley reappears wanting his paternal rights and is horrified to find Spike there. At that moment, the little girl says her first word, with is to call Spike "Daddy".
I know this is a little rambling, but that's about what I remember. Does it strike any sparks with anyone?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's Baby Steps by Kallysten except instead of Riley it's that guy Richard.
