"Angel is with Cordelia?" Buffy almost screamed.
"Buffy, just lay down and let Tara explain. Too much stress isn't good for anyone, including the slayer." Spike led his future bride over to the couch and lay down with her.
"What connection could there be?" Buffy asked trying to calm down.
"Well, my guess is that the babies will grow to be warriors, great ones too. If that is the case, then a lot of demons will be after them, it's easier to protect them if they are here together, plus we'd have plenty of person power." Tara spoke in a soothing voice.
"Spike, we have to protect him, we can't let them take him away."
"Her." Spike corrected as he cleared his throat.
"Whatever, we have to do protection spells and warning spells and everything possible." Buffy was becoming agitated and spike wrapped his arms around her, comforting her, making her forget about all the nasties out there.
Buffy fell asleep listening to Tara and Spike discuss battle strategies for protecting the baby. She dreamed of rattles and bottles and blankets and stuffed animals… everything indicating there was a baby nearby.
When Buffy woke up all the Scoobies, including Dawn, were scattered around the living room researching the origin of the tiny baby growing inside Buffy. There was a knock on the door and Buffy ran to get it expecting Giles to be standing outside.
"Angel?" She said as the color drained from her face.
"Who did this to you? Where is he? Where is that little soldier fuck? I'll kill him for doing this to you!" Angel was screaming so loud that some of the neighbors had turned on their porch lights.
"You? You… you... you can…"
"Hear a faint little heartbeat coming from your abdomen? Yes. Now who the fuck is the father?"
"I am!" Spike yelled. He ran over to Buffy who was now balling.
"I'll kill you."
"No you won't peaches, because if you do, Buffy will kill you."
"She can't, I was her first love, she could never kill me."
"Then I will." Xander said rising to his feet. "Buffy is in love with Spike, I've never seen her so happy. And Spike is a better man than you anyway, he'd never leave her."
"Xander?" Cordelia questioned. "Can we come in? It isn't very safe out here." Xander stepped aside as Anya quickly put a possessive arm around her man.
"You all know Wesley, this is Gun, Fred, and Lorne. And this…" he said reaching into Fred's arms. "is Conner."
After about a half an hour of uneasy chit-chat, there was another knock on the door. This time Dawn went to get it. "Giles!" she screamed.
Giles walked in the living room and gasped. "How did you know about the prophecy?" He asked.
"Buffy, just lay down and let Tara explain. Too much stress isn't good for anyone, including the slayer." Spike led his future bride over to the couch and lay down with her.
