"So how did it go?" Buffy asked as soon as they through the door.

"It went just fine, luv we killed them all" Spike answered. Buffy ran up to Spike and gave him a huge hug. Spike looked down at her face and she was crying.

"What's wrong, luv?" he asked.

"I just love you so much" she replied looking him in the eyes. Spike hadn't thought about it for a while, but that was the first time that Buffy had told him that she loved him.

"I love you too Buffy" he said and that just made her cry even more. Then Spike remembered something that he wanted to do and he thought that this would be the perfect time.

"Buffy" he pulled her chin up to look at him "Remember the night that we were going to go out for dinner, but then everyone showed up" she nodded, so he continued "Well that night at dinner I wanted to do this" he said and got down on one knee. Everyone gasped.

"Buffy will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?" he asked.

"Yes, of course I will" she said and flew into his arms knocking him over. The rest of the night was a celebration of Buffy and Spikes engagement.

"Your ring is really beautiful, Buffy" Cordy complemented.

"Thanks Cordy" Buffy replied.

"You two are really lucky to have each other," Willow pointed out.

"I know," they both answered at the same time.



"Come on Dawn let's go" Buffy called up the stairs.

"What time will you be home?" Giles asked. Buffy, Spike and Dawn were going baby shopping.

"I don't know Giles, not to long," Buffy answered.

"Okay I'm ready" Dawn came running down the stairs.

"Good luck, Spike" Giles said to Spike.

"Thanks" Spike replied.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Buffy asked while Dawn glared at Giles.

"Well Buffy it's just that sometimes the summers women can be a little overwhelming" Giles tried to explain.

"Whatever" Dawn said, "Lets just leave"

"Bye" Giles called from the doorway.



"Do you think this car seat is safe enough?" Spike asked the sales person.

"It's the best quality you can get" the sales person replied.

"Okay, we'll take three then" Buffy said. Then she said to Spike:

"Let's go look at clothes now"

"Sure" he replied.

"What about this one?" Buffy said holding up a purple sleeper. They had decided that so they could tell the babies apart they would dress each one in a different colour. Emma would purple, Alexandra would be pink and Carter would be blue.

"That one's really cute" Dawn replied.

"Okay" Buffy said putting it in the cart.

"I think that's enough now" Spike said looking at all of the things that they had in their cart. They had at least six sleepers per baby, a coat for each baby, lots of little socks, hats and other everyday clothes. They had everything you could ever imagine a baby would need.

"Okay, let's go home" Buffy replied. Once they got home everyone wanted to see everything that they had bought.

"That one is so cute" Willow said as Buffy held up a little pink dress.

"I know they're all so itty bitty" Buffy replied.

"Buffy have you thought about how you're going to take care of three babies" Giles asked.

"What do you mean?" Buffy questioned.

"Well taking care of a baby is a lot of work, let alone three babies" Giles said.

"Well you aren't planning on leaving right away, are you?" she asked.

"You know I'll stay as long as you need me, but I can't stay forever" Giles responded.

"I know" she said, "I just don't want you to leave too soon" Buffy was getting really upset and being pregnant made her very emotional.

"It's getting late" Spike said to Buffy "We should be getting to bed"

"Okay" she replied.

"Nibblet can trust that you'll get to bed okay," he asked. After he saw Dawn nod he picked Buffy up and carried her to bed.

"Good night" he called from the top of the stairs.
