Tara and Willow did the spell as the book had told them to. They held hands tightly and squeezed. In between the appeared a ball of light. It exploded as their last spell did except for this time it reviled a picture of the father.
"I don't believe it..." Willow said. Her and Tara stood looking at the picture in horror. "Looks like Spike is the father." Tara and willow let go of hand and the picture disappeared.
"W-We're going to have to tell her..." Tara said putting the books away. They left to Buffy's house. The sooner they told Buffy the better.
"Hey Buff?" Willow said knocking and opening the door. She walked in to see Buffy sitting on the couch with her head buried in her hands. "umm... Before this goes any further, Tara and I did a spell and it sort of backfired ... which is why you're pregnant."
Buffy shot her head up. "Well, you should be happy that I am not mad at you, but I am pissed off. I can barely take care of my self and Dawn, nevertheless a baby!!!" Buffy was furious and was screaming.
"There's more. The baby will come out in at least 3 days. And Tara and me know who the father is. The man whom you were thinking about when the spell was cast is the dad. We did another spell, the dad is Spike."
Buffy's eyes widened. "Spike?!?! Vampire 'William the Bloody' Spike? Spike that kills slayers like me Spike??!?" Buffy screamed.
"At least you know the baby's father loves you," Willow said in a small voice. Buffy shot Willow a 'what-the-hell-are-you-thinking' look. Buffy stood up. "I need to have a chat with someone, you are going to stay and watch Dawn until I get back." Buffy left, she didn't care if Willow and Tara had other plans, she made them stay.
Buffy found herself walking to Spikes crypt. She walked in without knocking. "Spike, in 2 or 3 days I will be having your baby because of a stupid spell, you are going to help me raise it and you aren't going to complain," Buffy yelled.
"What the bloody hell are you talking about? I can't raise a soddin' kid." Spike said. By now he was sitting up straight and wide-awake. "Well, you have Willow and Tara to thank for that," Buffy said, her voice lowered.
"I also found out it was going to be a girl, so I figured since it was our baby, you would want to help find a name," Buffy was still mad but she had stopped yelling. "I want her middle name to be Joyce, after my mom," Buffy said taking a seat next to Spike.
"That's fine with me... I figured her first name could be, Willow or Dawn..." Spike said quietly. **I can't believe this, I am not only her child's father, but she is letting me having a say in the child's name.**
"I like Willow, that way if we end up calling her Will, like we do Willow, she can be named after you kind of, Will being short for William," Buffy said. **I don't want my daughter thinking her daddy lives in a crypt ... maybe Spike should move in with me...**
"Spike, I am letting you help raise our daughter, so I feel you should be closer to us. Move in with me. You can have my mom's old room," Buffy said standing up. "If we hurry we can get all of your stuff to my house before daylight hits.
** I can't believe this, The woman I love, who despises me, just asked me to move in with her and she is having our baby. Life is sweet.**
They both managed to move all of Spike's belongings to Buffy's house before sunrise. Spike lay down to sleep as he usually did during the day. He heard Buffy, up and in the shower ready for getting ready for school.
"Spike? I am about to leave now, if you need anything important, Giles' number is by the phone. I stopped by the butcher shop and got you some fresh pig's blood last night. Its in the refrigerator if your hungry," Buffy quietly closed the door.
**I know I am supposed to hate him, but for the babies sake, I have to be nice.** She left for another day in Buffyverse.
Spike awoke to the soft ringing of the phone. It was about noon. "Can't a vampire get some bloody sleep...." He mumbled to himself. He rolled out of bed to answer the phone.
"yea yea..." he said picking it up. "Hello, is Buffy Summers there?" He heard the lady ask. "She's not here right now, can I take a message?" He said trying to keep from yawning in the phone.
"Yes, tell her that this is the government calling, Riley is dead. He died by gunshot and she is invited to his funeral. June 18th in South America, 3:00 pm." Spike was shocked by this news. He didn't know how Buffy would handle this.
"Yeah... I'll tell her." He wrote down the name so he wouldn't forget. The funeral was in 3 days. It would be impossible to go because by then she will be having or have already had the baby.
**although I never did like Riley, I feel so sorry for him... actually, I don't feel sorry for him, but I do feel sorry for Buffy.**
