Chapter 25

Previously: Buffy, Dean and Sam head off to join the girls and Leo at P3.

P3

"All right," said Buffy "Lets get this party over with so I can head home, crawl into my husband's arms and just pass out."

"You tired baby," said Dean pulling his wife into his arms.

"Somewhat. It's just been a long day."

"Maybe I should just take her home, Sam?"

"Um, hang on. Maybe we should just go in for a little while. I mean...," began Sam

"What's goin' on Sam," asked Dean

"Nothing, just Piper wanted you to come out for a little while."

"Sam," said Dean in a stern voice

"Phoebe's so gonna kill me. They're throwing you guys a baby shower."

"Really," said Buffy with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Yes, now can we go inside," said Sam "I don't think I have to tell you to act surprised."

"Nope," said Buffy with a big smile on her face.

Buffy, Dean and Sam entered the club to find it transformed for a baby shower.

"Surprise," shouted the girls and Leo.

"Oh god, you guys," said Buffy as tears fell from her eyes.

"Here we go again," said Leo, earning a smack from his wife, Phoebe and Paige which caused Buffy to smile.

"Hello Luv," came a voice from behind her sisters.

Buffy was shocked to see Spike walk from behind them.

"Spike, what are you doing here?"
"Came to see you. You look absolutely stunning, Pet."

"Thank you," said Buffy

"When are you due," asked Spike

"My wife is due in about 5 months," said Dean possively wrapping an arm around Buffy.

"Looks like someones got his knickers in a twist. No worries mate, I'm not here to steal the Mrs. I'm just here to see an old friend and wish her well on the lil nibblet there. And I have a present for the lil bit there," Spike said handing Buffy the gift.

"Spike you didn't have to do this."

"I wanted to Buff and besides, I wanted to."

Buffy opened the present to reveal a bright pink pig.

"Mr. Gordo," gasped Buffy with tears rolling down her face. "Thank you Spike. Where'd you get him?" Buffy cried as she wrapped her arms around Spike enveloping him in a hug.

"You're welcome Luv, I kinda had a feeling the last day that I wasn't gonna make it and what was gonna happen so I shipped Mr. Gordo here to my old place in New York and just remember where I stuck him. So after the day at the clinic, I went to New York and grabbed him."

"What were you doin' at the clinic, Buffy," asked Sam

"I went there to see if I was pregnant. I ended up running into Spike on my way out and he sensed something was different about me."

"So Spike knew you were pregnant before I did," asked Dean slighty jealous that her ex knew about his children before he did.

"Dean, please don't, okay. I didn't tell him. Spike found out all on his own. If you want to get technical, I told you first."

"What do you mean," asked Sam

"I called Dean's cellphone right after I found out, but I got the answering machine instead and then Spike showed up and that's when Spike found out. Now stop being jealous and thank Spike," said Buffy

"Thank you Spike," said Dean sticking his hand out for a hand shake.

"No worries mate," said Spike accepting Dean's hand. "Have you seen the Poofter, Buffy?"

"Angel's kind of dead, Spike," said Buffy.

"What happened?"

"He attacked me and Dean a couple of months ago. I ended up having to killing him, he was gonna kill Dean and he almost killed me," Buffy rambled in a panicked voice.

"Calm down luv. Glad someone finally did it. 'Cording to Wes and them, Peaches went insane with power a couple months ago. Besides it was self-defense. Wanker tried to kill you."

"How bout we stop with all the unhappy and open presents," said Phoebe.

"Wait a second," said Sam. "How did Spike find out if you didn't tell him Buffy?"

"Probably 'cause I'm a vampire and her scent was off," replied Spike.

"You dated another vampire," said Dean whose jaw started to clench.

"Yeah, I told you about this," said Buffy.

"So you just happen to leave out the fact that he's a vampire?"

"What's your point? At the time he was the only one I could turn to, the only one who knew what it was like. Yeah, he's a vampire, so what. He also happens to be one of my best friends. So if you don't like it Winchester, you can fuck off," yelled Buffy.

"Calm down luv. You don't wanna go upset the nibblets," said Spike trying to calm a very angry Buffy down.

"How'd you know there was more than one," asked Dean.

"Hearing, I can hear 3 sets of heartbeats. I'll tell you again. I'm not here to steal your wife, yeah, I love the girl, what of it. With me and Buff, we were either trying to kill each other or fuck each other senseless. We've gotten past all that, we're finally friends. And you know what you got the one thing I've always wanted."

"What's that," asked Dean.

"A family with the woman that I love. So, cherish it. Look Buff, I gotta go, I told Bit that I'd stop and see her and the gang before go back to L.A.," said Spike.

"How come your going to L.A.," asked Buffy.

"Gotta fix what Peaches broke. See you soon luv and don't be too hard on him. He doesn't wanna loose what matters to him. Even if he is a git, I'm glad you finally have what you deserve."

"Thank you Spike and I'll see you soon. Tell Dawnie I miss her and I'll try and stopped by."

"Sure thing Pet," said Spike with a wave as he disappeared.

"Now can we get back to the shower," asked Paige.

"I agree," said Piper.

Buffy just nodded her head and sat down next to her sisters.

"Baby," began Dean.

"Don't alright, let's just have a nice evening out and then we'll talk about you being an insensitive ass," said Buffy.

"Look," said Leo. "Why don't us guys just leave you girls to the open presents and we'll go check out things for the nursery."

"Okay," said Piper. "See you at home."

"Yeah," Leo said giving his wife a kiss. "Come on guys."

Dean walked up to his wife.

"I love you alright and I'm sorry," he said trying to pull his wife in for a hug and kiss but with no evail.

Dean got up with a sigh and join Leo and his brother.

"It'll be fine," said Phoebe.

"I know," said Buffy. "But I really wanted him to go, the smell of his aftershave was makin me want puke."

"Ha," laughed Piper. "I said the same thing when me and Leo were arguing. Just remember to communicate or you'll be walking a mile in each others shoes. Literally."

The girls spent the next half hour ooing and awwing over all the baby clothes and stuffed animals while the guys were checking out ways to surprise Buffy with the nursery.
