As I lay me down chapter 16---It's Gonna Be Love
Authors note: This chapter is in honor of the series finale of Buffy, 'cause we all know that when Buffy said she loves Spike she ment it.
The next morning Spike rolled over and was surprised to see Buffy laying next to him.
"Good morning cutie."she said smiling
"Good morning to you too. Have you been here all night?"
"Yeah, I have. My mom's probably freakin'."
"Just explain that you were with your drunkin' goof of an...ex- boyfriend. I mean that's why you came here last night right. To tell me that you don't want to be with me."
"No, not at all. Spike listen to me here, okay? What I came here to tell you last night is that I'm not afraid of you being my boyfriend, I'm afraid of you being my EX boyfriend. I was afraid that I would let you in, into my heart, and you'd leave me, just like everyone else has. Then I realized something. I love you."
"Maybe this hangover is making me hear things, but did you just say what I think you said?"
"I just told you that I love you,you idiot."
(Angel's apartment)
Cordelia stumbled into the living room and collapsed on the couch.
"Look who's up. Huh, Connor, you see that."Angel said sitting down next to her and putting Connor on her stomach.
"Hey baby."She said smiling slightly. "Hey Angel, you think you could do me a favor and put me out of my misery?"
"You really had that much to drink last night?"
"God, remind me never to go to the Bronze with Spike again."
"You were with Spike last night?"
"Chill out, nothing happened. We just got really drunk and worried that you and Buffy were off having sex someone. By the way, did you see her?"
"Yeah. Yeah I did."
"So, what happened?"
"I told her."
"Oh."
"But then we came to a sense of closure."
"So you mean..."
"She's with Spike and I'm here with my son and his mother."
(Sunnydale High, later)
"So then I told Spike that I love him."Buffy said giving Giles the play by play of the following night and into this morning.
"You're having a child with him, and you just now have told him that you love him?"Giles asked.
"Giles, please, don't over annalize this, okay? I mean come on now, you haven't even asked Ms. Calender out on a date. So, when you do that, then we can talk, 'kay?"
"How do you..."
"Time travel."
"Hey you guys."Willow said walking into the room with Xander right behind her.
"What's up?"He asked.
"I told Spike that I love him."
"You didn't!"Willow exclaimed.
"Yeah."
"Oh my god!"
The two girls started jumping up and down, and screaming at the top of their lungs.
"Let me get this strait,"Xander whispered into Giles ear, "Buffy's having a baby with this punk, and she just now told him that she loves him."
"It doesn't make any sense to me either." The girls continued with their noise when Cordelia walked in carring Connor on her hip.
"Cordy!! And Connor!!!"Buffy exclaimed, "I told Spike that I love him!!! Come jump and squeel with us!!"
"God Buff, you know I'd love to but I'm tired, and sick and most importantly I feel like Nick Nolte looks."
Xander started backing up towards the stairs,"You know what?"he said,"I think I've got something to look up, or something."
"Chill out, like I said I feel like crap, so I'm not going to kill you."
"Did I miss something?"Buffy asked plopping herself down on the table.
"Nothing big."Willow told her.
"'Kay. Second question, why is Connor here?"
"Remember Mr. Niven's said that if you didn't want to carry around that egg you'll have to talk to him about doing an alternate assignment? He's it."
"Huh?"Xander asked.
"He's going to be with me all day."
"Be prepared for the consiqences of your action Cordelia."Willow said, "I mean, remember in eighth grade when that girl you used to hang out with got pregnant? You and the rest of the Cordette's made her life a living hell. Especially Harmony."
"She was in the eighth grade Willow! Come on now, even you made fun of her."
"She's got a point."
"Thank you Xander."Willow said sarcasticly,"But think about it, Harmony is so upset at you for hanging out with us, what makes you think that she won't get the rest of the cheerleading squad to gang up against you."
"Yeah and with an allience like that you're going down fast. Faster than a guy named Rob on..Surviver. Okay, that was a bad thingie that I can't think of right now. Does pregnancy take away brain-cells?"
"Unfortunatly not, Buffy. Anyways, back to me here, what makes you think that the squad'll turn on me?"
"That's what alliences do, turn on their leaders when things get tough. Analogy! That's the word."
"Buffy, just be quiet."
"You be quiet Cordy."
(Hallway, later)
Buffy, Willow and Cordelia stood by Cordelia's locker, while she bounced Connor on her hip trying to get him to stop crying.
"It's okay sweetie. Calm down, please? For mommy?"Cordelia pleaded rubbing his head.
"Hey Connor, tell you what. If you stop crying your aunt Buffy here'll buy you a big sword when you graduate, how 'bout that?"
Connor's cries slowed down and he laid his head down on Cordelia's shoulder.
"How did you do that?"Cordelia asked.
"Lucky guess."
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Cordelia Chase."Harmony said walking up to the three of them.
"Harmony Kendall."
"So, what do we have here?"
"It's a baby."Buffy said with a smirk.
"I can see that loser, but who is he? He yours?"
"Why do you care,hmm? I mean, you have nothing to do with him, or me."Cordelia told her.
"He is! I can see it in your eyes. How old is he? Who's is he for that matter? You do know who's he is don't you?"
"He's almost four months old, and yes I do know who the father is, but you wouldn't know him."
"Oh my god!"Auora said comming up to them, "Cordelia, Hi!"
"Hi Aura."Cordy said smiling
"I have two questions, number one, are you and Harms friends again, and number two, who is this cutie?"
"Firstly,no, we aren't friends, and secondly, this is Connor. My son."
"Oh, my god! Why didn't you tell me you big sneak?" Just then the bell rang
"You can tell me on the way to class."Auora said picking up Connor's car seat.
(Spike's Crypt, Later)
"Honey I'm home!"Buffy said walking down the ladder.
"Mmm."Spike groaned.
"That hangover still around?"
"Yeah. But it's going away. So, how was your day?"
"Well, Cordelia brought Connor to school for a project today and I got a glimse at what life'll be like for me in a few months. The way you get labeled a slut just because you're pregnant or have a baby. Boy if I wasn't enough of an outcast already."
"It'll be alright."
"You promise."
"I promise."
(Angel's apartment)
"Oh my god! And then Connor picked up my pencil, and it was so cute."Cordelia said laying down on the floor waving a rattle over Connor's face.
"You're turning into one of them you know."Angel said standing up.
"One of who?"
"One of those mothers who talk about their kids endlessly and have no life."
"Angel! I do to have a life! I mean, tomorrow night I'm cheering at a football game. So that is totally a life."
"Then act like it. Cordelia, I am so glad that you're in Connor and my life and I don't know what we'd do without you, but you are aloud to go shopping by yourself,and to go to cheerleading practice and not have to worry about whether or not Connor's been fed, or changed, or if I'm reading him the right bedtime story. Okay?"
"Okay."
"In fact, I've got an idea. How about tomorrow after the football game, you and I go out, to a movie or something. How does that sound?"
"It sounds great, but who will we get to watch Connor?"
"How about Buffy and Spike, I mean they do need all the practice they can get."
