Chapter 10: Destiny

Two months flew by quickly. Everyone was at the magic shop waiting for buffy. Buffy all of sudden she started to look like she was going to burst.She wasn't supposed to be that big so early in her pregnancy. So naturally everyone was worried.She was also going to the doctor to find out if its a boy or a girl.

"Hey, everyone," they looked up to see buffy and spike coming through the door.

"So whats going on?" Willow asked impatently.

"Gosh, patient much wils.I'm not so sure i'm ready to tell you. I'm kinda tired you know a pregnancy can take a lot out of you,"she yawned.

Spike sat down and buffy sat in his lap.Rubbing her belly.Spike and Buffy were now openly dating.

"Its kinda weird ya know. The doctor said its like I'm already 9 monthes pregnant, but I'm only half of that. Its strange, cause the baby is perfectly healthy just really big."

" So, its a big baby," Xander said," Its gonna be premature so what. We want to know if Xander won his bet."

"Oh, is that all you care about.Spike do you think we should tell them. Afterall you do owe Xander $50."

" Cute slayer. So I was bloody wrong."

" So you mean its a ....."

Giles came out of the back room,"Oh, buffy what did i miss?"

"Its a Girl," she said.

"Pay up, blondie," Xander said.

"I'm having a niece!!!" Dawn did a little dance.

'Your having a niece!!!" Lexi joined in Dawn's dance.

"Congratulations, Buffy, Spike," Angel said as he stalked out of the room.

"Excuse me," buffy got up and went to find angel.

****************************************

"Angel....."she reached out and touched his arm,"Its okay. I know you don't like whats going."

"Buffy you don't know how i feel."

"Sure i do. I hate this. Here i am in love with Spike but I still having feelings for you."

"You love him?"

"Yes, i do. I love you too. I sit here watching you twist in pain, but i can't do anything about. I want to jump into your arms and kiss you. It will never happen.We've both moved on. Don't think i didn't notice you checking out Cordelia when she was here."

"Buffy now your just crazy."

"No, don't lie. I hate it as much as you do, but the attraction is there. It was there when i was in high school too."

"Buffy, i don't want to talk about this."

"Fine, i'll just go home then."

*************************

"Spike, can we go i'm really tired.... ow, whoa there, ow," buffy said grabbing her stomach.

"Whats wrong?" spike got up and walked towards her.

"The baby...it just kicked me," she grinned," Definetly our child."

A grinning spike put his hand to her stomach," Thats a bloody slayer in the make."

"Can i feel," Dawn asked.

"Yeah sure. You all can if you'd like," buffy smiled.

Everyone started to come froward to feel the little baby kick.

"Joyce is going to be a handfull,"buffy sighed.

"Joyce?" giles asked feeling her stomach.

"Yeah, we decided that if it was a girl it was going to be Joyce."

"Right, um...buffy I might have some news on why your child is devloping so quickly," Giles said removing his hand.

"So whats the deal G-man.Do we have a demon baby on our hands?" Xander said as buffy glared at him for calling her child a 'demon.'

"No, not at all.You see I was looking through some of the Watchers diaries and I found a reference to a slayer pregnancy.Her name was Kristina. Kristina's child was born prematurly by 4 months or so. In the end, they discovered that the baby was feeding off Kristina's slayer strength and devloping more quickly than most babies. I believe thats why buffy could not fight off the demons a few months back," Xander flinched at the mention of that event.

"Well, thats good to know. i was kind freaky at the thought of a devil child," buffy said patting her stomach.

The bell above the door suddenly rang. Everyone looked up to see who it was.Since the shop was closed for the day.

"Dad?" buffy squeaked.
