Hey Universe, what's the best month of the year?
I am so not obligated to answer that.
Totally. March. Sockpuppet.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So Cain could have been in his hundreds and there'd be lots of people by then.
Born of whom, is the question ...

Lilith isn't in the bible. She's sort of implied in the first "Male and female he created them" or something like that, and she's big in Jewish folklore, in which she left the Garden of Eden of her own volition and became a child-stealing infant-killing demon, more or less.

Thrive to spite them
But there's still the icky incest that no one I asked wanted to account for.

Well, Cain would have had to marry one of his sisters, there are lots of unmentioned daughters of Adam and Eve. 23 or something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Adam and Eve, or of their children. Maybe their grandchildren.
There's no getting around the incest thing.

I had who Cain married explained to me, but I don't remember. I think it had something to do with, um, giants. But I might be mixing my mythologies.

There was incest, but Adam and Eve were perfect humans so there wasn't any worry about birth defects and such from inbreeding.

Were there other brothers? If not, Cain and Able would have been pretty busy....

I'm pretty sure there were other brothers. I think there is some line about how Adam had many sons and daughters by the time he lived his 800 years or so.
