Buffy lay in her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She had woken up a few hours ago, realised Willow had gone and stayed awake. She looked out of the window, it was still dark and she knew it would be round about midnight. She wrapped her arm around her stomach, the thought of a tiny human being growing inside of her was unreal. She never expected to be a mother, especially not now as she had only just started college. Now, everything would change; she'd have to drop out of college, get a job and start making money for her baby. She knew that her Mother would let her continue to live with her, she wouldn't want her grandchild to be out on the streets.
Buffy stood up, threw back the covers and dropped her feet on the cold floor. She was in desperate need to go to the toilet, which was now something she would have to get used to. She walked out of her room, looking down both ends on the corridor. She saw Xander and Giles sat down on one end of the corridor, Giles was awake and reading a book whilst Xander slept. On the other end was a toilet sign, she quickly rushed that way and decided to see the others when she had finished.
A few minutes later, she left the bathroom and made her way down the other side of the corridor. She stood infront of Giles and smiled weakly, although his eyes didn't tear away from the book. Buffy gave a little cough, Giles' head shot up and smiled at her.
"Buffy, what are you doing up so late ?" he asked.
"Needed to pee," sighed Buffy.
"Well, yes, that is a pregnancy sympton," said Giles, cleaning his glasses.
"Can you come back to my room ? I want to lie down," frowned Buffy. "I feel rather dizzy,"
"Course I can," smiled Giles, standing up.
Giles followed Buffy back to her room, he sat on the chair besides her bed and waited patiently whilst she lay down. Buffy snuggled up into her covers and sat up slightly, she didn't want to fall asleep on Giles.
"Giles, what am I going to do ?"
"What do you mean ?" asked Giles.
"Being pregnant. Giles, I don't know if I can do this," murmured Buffy, tears shining in her eyes.
"Buffy, your not alone in this, we're all here for you. We'll take over patrolling and help keep your baby safe, I promise you that!" said Giles, grabbing Buffy's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.
"Giles, theres something else. Angel is the father," mumbled Buffy, not making eye contact.
"I don't -"
"Understand, I know. When I went LA, he was human for a day but to keep me safe, he turned back into a vampire. I'd been made to forget the day until Willow did a spell," muttered Buffy, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Oh, Buffy, Im so sorry!" frowned Giles.
"Its Ok. I'm not telling him though, he's better of not knowing-"
"Buffy -"
"No, Giles! Im not hurting him like that, not now or ever!" said Buffy.
Giles sighed. After four years with Buffy, he knew when her mind was set then there was no going back. Although, he had a feeling that in the end Angel would know about his child. He leaned down in the chair and closed his eyes, he decided to get a few hours sleep before the sun came up.
