It's still kind of unnerving when he touches her or talks to her before he opens the cloak to show himself, but Beth smiles in spite of the momentary surprise.

Beth Junior, with a big open-mouthed baby grin on her face, stares at Spike when the cloak falls open and doesn't take her eyes off him. It's a good thing she's not old enough to talk because who knows what the hell she'd be saying about the amazing disappearing, reappearing bounty hunter... but as it is, Spike's giving her an effective ongoing game of peekaboo.

For just a second, Beth hides her smile against the top of Junior's head, pressing a kiss against her hair, and then quickly glances around for signs of the girls before leaning into Spike. "So once we get to New York you're going to ditch us and go see the sights?"

She knows better.

"Have you ever been to France?"

She doesn't know for certain, but she doesn't think so. He's never mentioned it.
