Chapter 4: Answers
The next morning buffy awoke early. She was thinking to herself as she got dressed,'Lexi is going crazy. Me pregnent, yeah right. Whos daddy dearest.... Spike?... yeah right... hes a vampire its impossi...' her thoughts were interupted by her rushing to the bathroom.
"Buffy," willow said as she stood at the door of the bathroom, looking at the image of buffy leaning over the toliet throwing-up," Are you okay?"
" Yeah wils, just a little...." after she regained herself she wiped her mouth," just a little stomach flu. nothing serious."
" If your sure. If your not okay maybe we should cancel the meeting tonite," willow suggested.
"No i'll be there don't worry i'll be fine."
***********************************
Later that day, after sundown, the scoobies were all at the magic shop.
"Okay," xander started," What are we looking for?"
"Anything, that has to do with exploding lint, diamonds, and freezing people," buffy stated," Wils, check the internet. I'm begining to think its not a demon and its some kind of evil mastermind."
"Buffy, we've been telling you it wasn't in any of these books for awhile, what suddenly changed your mind?" Xander asked.
" Xander just keep looking..."buffy was interrupted by the bell jingling to reveal a certain blonde vampire.
" Slayer, Scoobies. Where are the little bits?"spike asked as he jumped on the counter.
"The training room. What are you doing here anyway?"
"Well harris asked me to help you out with your bloody research," spike replied.
"Xander i told you we didn't need his help," she glared at Xander and continued," Anyway, thats not the point lets get to bussiness. You guys keep searching i'm going to..." all of a sudden she started to get dizzy and grabbed onto a chair for support.
"Slayer, you okay?" Spike asked getting of the counter and approaching her.
"Fine, just a little dizzy," she replied as she used on hand to grip the chair and the other to rub her head.
"Buffy your looking kinda pale. Maybe you should lie down," willow said looking concerned.
"I'm fine. Its probably nothing, But just to make you happy i'll go lay dow..." but before she could finish she passed out. Luckily, spike was close enough to catch her.
"Buffy..." Willow yelled.
Dawn and lexi came out of the trainning room.
"We heard willow yell, what happened?" but when she spotted buffy, now lying on the long table spike had her on, and her guestions were answered," What happend? Will she be okay?"
"We don't know. This morning her stomach was in jumbles, she couldbe getting the flu or something,"willow said.
"No," Lexi said stepping forward," Its not the flu.I told her last night, but she wouldn't listen to me."
" Lexi, what did you tell her? What the bloddy hell is going on here?" spike asked.
"Just get her to the hospital, then all guestions shall be answered," She replied.
Spike scooped up buffy once again and they all began to walk out when he turned around," You all stay here and continue with the research. I'll take Buffy,Lexi and the bit with me."
******************
Buffy awoke in the hospital thourghly confused, when she spotted spike sitting in a chair next to her bed.
"Spike?" Spike immediatly looked up at her when he heard his name.
" Slay.. Buffy? I'm so glad your okay?" he got up and gave her a tight hug. She was surprised at his emotion," You had us all worried. I thought the little bit was going to go nuts." he continued to hold her in his tight embrace.
"Spike?What happened? Why am I in the hospital?" she guestioned.
Regaining his composure he sat down again and replied,"We were in the magic shop and you fainted. Lexi was bloody rambling about how she had whorned you last night, then told us to get you here. The doctors are running a bunch of tests."
" Wheres dawn?" she said as she sat up.
"Oh, Lexi and the bit went to the cafriteria. The bit was kinda scared so Lexi suggested they take a walk."
"Right. What about the rest of the scooby gang?"
"Magic shop."
In the next moment they had company. The doctor had returned with answers.
"Hello, litle lady. I'm Dr. Carls. You gave your boyfriend here a little scare," buffy glared at spike for the dr. calling him her boyfriend.
" Well, my *boyfriend* had nothing to worry about. See for yourself i'm fine," She said smiling.
The dr. chuckled,"Yes, you look fine and the tests prove it," he sighed," You two are so young, ( buffy snorted and got a dirty look from spike), this is probaly going to put a strain on your relationship."
"Dr. could you just tell us whats going on? I have to get home," buffy said patiently.
" Well, kids your having a baby," Spike and buffy's jaws dropped,"Thats right. Miss Summers your pregnent."
Dawn and lexi were back from their walk and came into the room,"Buffy your having a baby?" she stood there.
"Guess so," buffy looked down to her stomach and placed a hand on it.
"Thats great," dawn said as she ran to give her hug. Spike was now pacing the room.
"Your sure Doc.?" Spike asked.
"Yes, we're very sure. Miss summers in about 10 minutes or so the specialist will be up here for the ultra sound. Then you can probably go home. I'll leave you alone now," he waved and exited.
Lexi came into the room completely now and said,
"Told ya so."
Spike looked up," I don't believe this. So buffy whos the prinze charming? I didn't know there were any bloody potential fathers around?"
Now this peaked dawns curiousty and looked up from her sister and at spike," Yeah buffy, whos the father?"
" Whoa, well your guess is as good as mine. I haven't been seeing anyone. Except," she looked up at spike still absent mindly rubbing her stomach," Except, Spike."
"Come on slayer. Like i'm really supposed to believe i'm the father of this child. Hello! I'm a bloody vampire. We can't be fathers."
"He's right buffy hes a vampire," dawn sighed.
"There is a way you know?" lexi said everyones attention on her now,"Anything is possible. There could be some kind of prophecy or it could be destiny,The Powers That Be choice or a spell?"
"A Spell?" buffy repeated.
"Yes, a spell.There are plenty of pregnetcy spells out there, but i have never heard of one inflicted on someone or where a vampire could be a father her."
"What do you mean inflicted on?" Dawn asked holding buffy's hand tightly.
"Well most spells ahve to be preformed either by the mother or the father, and i don't think either of you did this. So if it is a spell it was inflicted upon you two. I don't think its a spell though. I think its destiny."
"This is crazy absoultely crazy," spike said as the door creaked open.
"Take it your the father," a woman entered wearing a doctoes coat. She was accompiened by a nurse and some ultra sound equipment," Doesn't sound to happy about it. Does he?"
"Not really," buffy said," You must be the specialist Dr. Carl said was coming."
"Yes, I'm Dr. Tate, but please call me tammy. I know your buffy and the father to be would be?"
" Spi... William Spikes," buffy said.
" Right, William the daddy. Okay and you two are?"
"I'm dawn buffy's sister and this is Lexi a friend of the family."
"Nice to meet you all. Dawn would you and your frined mind leaving. I'm sure you want to be with your sister right now, but would you mind?"
"No of coures not doctor," dwan said. Her and lexi left the room.
"Okay, now daddy if you wouldn't mind sitting down and we can get started," Dr. tate said. Spike took his seat next to buffy's bed
When the got buffy hooked up to the machine they started.
"Okay, you see this right here. It kinda looks like a large peanut?" bufy nodded," Thats your baby. We won't be able to tell if its a girl or a boy for awhile but its there."
"I have a kid. This is amazing. I already know its going to be a boy.,"Spike said pride swelled through him," He's going to be a william jr."
Buffy chuckled," Yeah right you really think my baby is going to be named william jr.? I don't think so."
Dr. Tat was laughing by now," Its looks like we have a proud mother and fahter afterall. I'll leave you be," she got up to change but turned around," Almost forgot. If you get changed i can have all the papers, you need to sign, all ready for you. You'll have to take it easy for a while. I'll have another appointment set for next month. Bye."
"I don't believe it. I'm going to be a father," Spike said as he put his hand on buffy's stomach.
"If you don't move your hand you won't be alive to meet your child," buffy said.
"Come on slayer, you like the idea of having my child. Just admitt it." he said as he took his hand away.
After she got dressed she signed all the papers and her & spike caught up with dawn & lexi.
When they reached the summer house spike made sure buffy went straight to bed
" The scoobies,"she siad as she got into bed.
"What about them," spike growled.
"Their going to need to know whats going on. Their probably climbing the walls as we speak........*****************

......Giles. I'll call him tell him to fly down. I need him here since i won't be able to slay in a few monthes."
"In a few monthes. Pet, your crazy. Your not doing any slaying now, not until my child is born and well into its tweenties."
"Ha, ha very funny. Fine i won't slay for now, but you'll have to take it over for a while. Will you get me the phone?" she pouted," I need to call everyone. Tell them to meet here tonite. Giles probably can get a flight."
"Luv, would ya just go to sleep i'll make your phone calls for you."
"Okay," she sighed giving in," You'll be her in the morning right?"
"Of course, luv, i'll be here." Spike said as he closed her door and left.
