the key, Buffy and Dawn ran away with Spike because he knew a hiding spot.
Eventially the Scoobies contacted Buffy to let her know that Glory was gone
and they could come home. During their time together, Spike and Buffy became
close; very close. When Willow found out about Spike, she swore never to speak
to Buffy again. The rest of the Scoobies had about the same opinion, except for
Giles. Giles and Dawn were the only two people who would still talk to Buffy.
big news that she didn't know how he would handle. Buffy walked out of the kitchen
and into the living room. She started nervousing fluffing the pillows on the couch.
Standing straight again, she whirled around. There was something there, so she looked
up. "Spike!" she murmured.
Spike was sitting on the couch, his icy blue eyes following Buffy as she paced around
the room. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her arm and pulled her down
onto the couch beside him. "Now, Pet," Spike said. "You told me I was to come here
tonight because you had something very important to tell me. Now what is it?" Buffy
took a deep breath and blurted out the whole story. "Well, I've been getting sick
in the mornings lately, and having these weird cravings. So I talked to Willow because
I was worried, and she went to the store and bought this test. And now I know that
the reason I've been sick is that, um," She paused, taking a breath. "I'm pregnant,"
she finished with a sigh. Buffy looked at a very dazed Spike and awaited his reaction.
"Please say something," she pleaded. His only response came out a very squeaky 'wow.'
"Wow? That's all you can say at a time like this?" Buffy said angrily, rising off the
couch. Spike got up, and walked over to where Buffy was standing. Placing a hand on either
side of her face, he said, "Weren't we careful?" "Obviously we weren't careful enough, I
didn't know we had to be careful!" Buffy yelled, an angry tone in her voice. "Well, are
you going to keep it?" Spike asked, trying to change the subject. "Yes, even if I have
to drink blood for the damn kid, I'm keeping it." Spike gave her a quick hug and a
gentle kiss. "And I'll be right by your side."
"Please, Giles," Buffy whined as she followed her watcher around the Magic Boxes. "No,
Buffy, I cannot lie to the Scoobies, as you call them, and get them to come here
just so you can tell them something." Buffy stopped in her tracks and folded her arms.
"Fine, then you just won't get to hear the news, either." She said, heading for the
door. Giles put a hand on her shoulder to stop her. "Fine, I'll get them here. But when
it's all over and done with, they're all going to know that this was your idea." Buffy
nodded in agreement, then went off to find Spike.
