Another fic search, sigh

Does anyone know the name and author of this story. I've looked everywhere I can think of and I can't seem to find it, sigh.

Xander returns from Africa and finds this little street waif whose mother has died, and starts rearing him. Xander buys or rents this duplex and an elderly couple live next door. The kid is a smarty, Xander buys him clothes, and gets him in school, Xander totally falls in love with the kid. Then Spike shows up and romance is in the air. It was a work in progress and I lost contact with the story some which way. I'd really like to know what has happened in the story since then. Anyone know what story I'm talking about?

Please and Thank you:)
