Buffy looked at the little wand in her hand

"How is that possible!?" she screamed at it

For the last week and a half shed been sick every morning but never at night, her period skipped which it never did, she couldn't fit into any of her clothes, her appetite was decreased to a muffin at lunch and light snaky food at dinner and that was it. Which was beyond odd for her.

Dawn had suggested her pregnant as a joke. But no joke. 3 tests, all positive. She was pregnant by a vampire no less… Giles was gonna kill her. How was she supposed to slay and raise a baby by herself at the same time?

Sure her friends would help. But they still couldn't handle the slaying, and she wouldn't be able to let her child be raised by her friends she's given everything for the world. Even her life, but her child's youth was too much to ask.

//Spike is never going to see his baby. \\

She thought

"Buck up girl, you gotta go see a watcher about impending doom. Vampires don't have kids everyday."

//o god, what if its not human? Could I kill it? Maybe that was best? NO. This is my only link to Spike. I'm not gonna give it up without a hellacious fight. \\

"Darla had a perfectly normal baby and it was spawned of 2 vampires. I can do this. But Angel had a soul. Well I have a soul. But Conner is a psychopath. Well that's only because he was raised in a hell dimension. Yea, I'm sure the baby is perfectly human and completely sane…no doubt." She tried to convince herself.

She swung the door open pulled on her leather coat and headed in Giles' direction. He'd have some sort of answers.

Giles was answer man. And scold man. Hopefully he was less of Scold man and more answer man tonight. Because Buffy really needed answers.

She knocked once and twice before she heard shuffling to the door.

"Buffy?" He asked seeing her

"Something wrong?"

"No…Well yes. I don't know. Are you busy?"

"On a Friday night I should say not. I was just researching."

"Researching what?"

"Vampire Slayer hybrids." She winced.

"Anything interesting?" she asked nervously

"Actually yes, there is this rather intriguing prophecy of a Slayer in this century destined to birth the child of the seventh seven. Whatever that means. I'm still deciphering the details but the child is supposed to have the strength of vampire and slayer, and immunity to all vampire weaknesses. The child is described very intricately, not the parents thought. 'Only slayer in the century of 21 and 7th 7.'"

"And what…. Does the…child…what's its destiny? Big bad evil?" she gulped

"Actually no, world wide peace. She will be the bringer of the light" Giles explained.

"She"

"Well yes. As I read it. Buffy was there a purpose for your visit?"

"Oh well. Now that you mention it… I think I can shed some light on this prophecy of yours."

"Really you don't have to research. Now wh…"

"I'm pregnant" He looked at his book for about 30 second before dropping his pencil and looking up at her awestruck

"S…s...say a…again?"

"I'm pregnant. Spikes the father"

"I…I…"

"You put about a million of my fears to rest with your prophecy knows-its."

"I…I can imagine I did. But… Spikes in hell. O Buffy"

"I'll deal."

"Buffy are you sure?"

"About what?"

"Everything? Anything?"

"Well I'm certainly not getting rid of her. I thought about it for a minute and as long as she's not evil… She's my only link to Spike" he voice broke

"I…I'll bet she has his eyes. And his ears." She broke down sobbing. Giles moved to hug her and she clung to him like a lifeline

"Giles, I'm not supposed to feel like this… not for a vampire. But I do. I love him." She cried harder.

"Shhhh. It's all right Buffy. Its gonna be all right." He held her closely till she fell asleep and he laid her on the couch as he continued researching.
