Three Months Pregnant.
"Buffy, this is Tara," smiled Willow.
A timid girl stood besides Willow. She had a mixture of blonde and browny hair, blue eyes and was average height.
"Hey," grinned Buffy, holding out her hand.
"H-h-hi," smiled Tara, shaking her hand.
Buffy smiled. She wondered why she seemed so nervous, it wasn't like Buffy was going to slay her. Willow looked at the two, a smile plastered across her face. Buffy sat down, whenever she was stood on her feet for to long she would get dizzy. Buffy offered Tara and Willow a seat, Tara sat besides her and thanked her with a smile.
"Anyone want a drink ?" smiled Willow.
"I'll have a water, please," replied Tara, smiling.
"Buffy ?" asked Willow, turning to her pregnant friend.
"Yeah, I'll have a water too. Only thing I can keep down nowadays," laughed Buffy.
Willow nodded and made her way out of the living room, leaving Buffy and Tara alone. They sat in silence for a while; Buffy rubbing her stomach whilst Tara rubbed her hands together.
"How m-m-many months a-a-are you ?" asked Tara.
"Three months," smiled Buffy, rubbing her stomach.
Willow returned, she carried three glasses of water on a tray and passed them around. She couldn't help but smile, she had heard Tara and Buffy talk and was glad that they were getting on well. She took a sip of her water, it had become quiet so she decided to start up a conversation.
"So, when does Angel get back ?" asked Willow, turning to Buffy.
"Meant to be tonight, so tommorow then," laughed Buffy.
"Huh ?" chuckled Willow.
"He say's he'll come back one night, then returns the day after," replied Buffy, rolling her eyes.
Willow nodded, now she understood. Tara giggled slightly, before she took another sip of her water.
"Would you like a girl or a boy ?" asked Tara, gesturing towards Buffy's bump.
"Erm, well aslong as the babys healthy, Im not bovered," replied Buffy, smiling.
It was true. Buffy had heard over the years how parents wanted one or another, although Buffy disagreed with this. She decided that as long as her baby was healthy, then she didn't care what sex it was. If she decided the sex she wanted, then she would only be dissapointed if it was the opposite. She had already talked to Angel about the sex of the baby, he agreed with Buffy aswell that he was happy with either.

An hour later, Willow and Tara had left to go back to college. Buffy sat at home, watching Tv and moaning to herself at how boring it was. She wished Angel was with her, they probably would of gone out into town to look for baby things. Buffy decided to get up and go around to Giles' house, she could do with the air and she hadn't spoke to him in a long time. First, she stopped by the basement to tell Spike she was going out. However, it had took her a little longer as Spike questioned where she was going, who with and what she was doing. Finally, she was able to set off.
--
Spike waited for the front door to slam shut, he waited a few moment after before hewrapped the blanket around him and ran into the sitting room. He pulled the curtains shut, Willow, Tara and Anya walked through the front door and sat down.
"So, what's the plan ?" asked Spike.
"Well, Xander and Giles are at Giles' house, their going to stall Buffy and make her stay longer. And, I need to ring Angel," replied Willow, walking over to the house phone.
Willow picked up the phone, quickly tapped in a number and waited as it dialled. Willow and Spike had been in on the plan for ages, they asked Giles, Xander, Tara and Anya to help so it was a successful plan.
"Hey, Angel, its Willow. Buffy's out of the house, you can come back now," smiled Willow.
"Ok, thanks Will!" replied Angel.
Willow hung up and turned back to the others.
"Now for part two of the plan," grinned Willow, gesturing for Tara and Anya to follow her.
--
Buffy walked to Giles', wondering what he was doing seen as he was unemployed. She knocked on his door and waited for him to answer, although she never got one. She was confused, Giles was always in unless he was ignorning her which he wasn't. She was just about to knock again when the door swung open, Xander welcomed her in. Buffy looked around, the house was its usual tidy self.
"Wheres Giles ?" asked Buffy.
"Here," smiled Giles, walking in from the kitchen.
"Hey, so how are you two ?" questioned Buffy, taking a seat on the sofa.
"We're great, how are you ? How's the bun in the oven ?" smiled Xander, sitting next to her.
"Good. And, we're fine, thanks," smiled Buffy.
Xander dived into a conversation, Giles joined in at random times as they tried to stall Buffy from going home. Buffy was glad to have company, and to see her friends, it had been a while since she had sat with the two of them and had a decent conversation. Two hours later, Buffy had decided that she had bored them enough and decided to go home. It was like arguing with Spike all over again, Xander wouldn't rest until Buffy let him give her a ride home. However, Buffy had said no and that she could use the walk as she had been sat around enough without her slayer duties. Thats was when Giles had joined in the argument, Buffy was left with no choice so decided to let Xander drive her home.
"Why did you want to give me a ride so bad ?" asked Buffy, raising her eyebrow at Xander.
"Because I don't want my pregnant best friend out on the streets in the dark, Im a very loyal friend," grinned Xander, parking outside her house.
"Thats weird, my Mom's car isn't there," mumbled Buffy, getting out and shutting the car door behind her.
"Have a nice night," said Xander, a smile plastered across his face.
"Jeesh, Xand, your smiling that much Im surprised your cheeks don't hurt!" laughed Buffy.
He laughed and watched her walk to the door, the smile still plastered on his face. He drove off and left her for the amazing night that she had no idea about ...
