Chapter 2

Disclaimer: sorry I forgot to put this in the first chapter. I don't own any of the characters unless you've never heard of them. Then they're probably mine, either that or you don't watch the show very much.

Spoilers: seasons 1-4 but I'm guessing you've seen those

Author's note: Updates on this may take awhile b/c I'm in college and working right now, but the more reviews I get the more likely I am to update sooner. Any suggestions you have for the direction you want this to go in I am glad to hear. I may not use them all, but they're always helpful especially when you've got writer's block.






~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Buffy couldn't believe she'd just blurted out that she was pregnant to her mother and her friends. She hadn't meant to, but her hormones were going crazy and

she'd had to keep it a secret for too long already. She wasn't sure if one or all of them were going to eventually come up and see if she was ok or if she was going to go

back down there first. She knew this was a huge thing for them to deal with, but a huge part of her was relieved not to be in this alone anymore. She sat there on her bed

for a minute and then there was a knock on her door. Apparentally she wasn't going downstairs to them first. "Come in," she said quietly. Barely loud enough for Willow

to hear on the other side of the door. Willow opened the door and went in closing it behind her. "Hey,' she said," are you ok". "Not exactly,"Buffy said," I can't believe I

just blurted it out like that". "How long have you known," Willow asked as she sat down on the bed next to Buffy. "For about five months," Buffy said guiltily. "How come

you didn't tell me," Willow asked a bit hurt. "You seemed kinda busy. You weren't around as much," Buffy said," also I was scared, I didn't understand and I just wanted

to avoid it all for as long as possible". "You're right. I have been kinda busy with wicca," Willow admitted," I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but what do you mean you didn't

understand". "I mean I don't understand how I can be pregnant," Buffy explained. "Well, Buffy you were with Parker," Willow said. "No no he's not the father," Buffy said

quickly," that was nine months ago and...and I'm only seven months along". "Oh," Willow said dumbfounded," I don't understand". "Exactly," Buffy said," that's what I've

been trying to tell you". "So you weren't with anyone after that," Willow questioned. "No," Buffy told her," trust me I learned my lesson after Parker. I promised myself I

wouldn't sleep with anyone again unless I was sure I was in love and trust me when I say that's a long time off from ever happening again". "So how are we gonna figure out

who the father is," Willow asked her. "I don't know," Buffy told her," right now I'm more concerned with the immediate problem. How's my Mom taking all of this". "Well I

left Xander downstairs with her. He said he'd suspected something for awhile, but obviously not this," Willow told her," He's trying to calm her down and help her

understand how you could have waited to tell her". "You think maybe I should go down there and apologize to her," Buffy asked. "I think this might take more than an

apology Buffy," Willow told her," You're gonna have to help your Mom deal with this. You're her baby and now you're having one. That's a lot for her to take, but I'm sure

she'll be alright. After all she eventually dealt with you being the slayer". "Yeah sure that's a good example," Buffy said with a slight grin," She had three months without

me to learn to deal with it and then she still tried to burn us both alive". "Ok, but the point is she came around after awhile," Willow told her. "That's true,"Buffy said," all

right let's go downstairs and face the music or lack of it".




Sorry it's so short. I have more in my head for the next scene, but if I don't get some sleep now I'm gonna fall asleep behind the wheel tomorrow. I'll write more soon.
