CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
"Mom? Mom you there?" Will shouted as he let himself into his mother's house.
Her car was outside and the door was open so Will was pretty sure she'd be in, he turned to Joy, "Do you think we should leave?"
Joy looked round the lounge and into the kitchen there didn't seem to be any signs of life in the house, "Maybe her Dawn and my dad went out to buy yet more baby things. I mean how many teddy bears does one kid need?" Joy said laughing.
"Yeah I know crazy aren't they." Will agree laughing with his wife.
Joy cocked her head to the side thinking for a moment, "Call her cell."
Will was just about to pull the cell phone out of his bag when he heard a scream from upstairs he knew it was his mom. Instantly he ran up the stairs taking two steps at a time Joy followed behind finding it a little harder to run with the baby bump to carry round.
Worried Will threw open his mother's bedroom and then backed away slightly when he saw the sight in front of him. Seconds later Joy came up behind him and burst into fits of laughter.
"William close the door." Buffy shouted.
Blushing Will pulled the door back closed, "Sorry."
Joy was still laughing and Will gave her an un-amused look, "What?" He snapped as they made their way back down the stairs.
"Oh come on honey it's funny really it is."
"See me laugh!" Will said.
"I know it's a bit urgh cuz parents aren't supposed to do things like that but it's also kinda sweet." Joy said rubbing her husbands back.
Will turned to her and smiled, she was right there was a major urgh factor but it was nice to see his mom happy, and well five minutes ago she defiantly looked happy! Will shuddered at the thought and then he heard the bedroom door open and close again from up stairs.

"I can't believe this why did this happen like that." Buffy whispered as her and Spike came out of her bedroom.
Will's little interruption had kind of put an end to the passion and now that they had gotten dressed and it was time to go down stairs and face their children. Buffy remembered the time she found out the her mother had slept with Giles, twice, it had been bad enough knowing it never mind seeing it. "There both grow ups pet I'm sure they can handle it." As Spike said it the face of their kids came into view.
Spike felt like laughing their faces were a mix of happiness and the need to throw up, and it was perfectly clear that no body knew what to say. Spike decided that he should break the ice.
"So when did you two arrive?" He asked bursting into fits of laughter.
Will looked at him and then looked back at his wife, it was so clear that Joy was his daughter why his mother hadn't seen it straight away he would never understand.
"God Dad is that all you can say?" Joy asked.
"Well yeah it is really because any other topic in my mind right now you wouldn't want to know about." Spike said throwing himself down on to the sofa. Joy gave him a death stare and Will went a bit whiter than he already was.
"Fine well when did you to start doing THAT?" She asked determined to get some answers from him.
"Look we were going to tell you but it only happened like an hour ago." Buffy interjected. And she heard a giggle from Spike.
"More like four love." He added.
Will rolled his eyes could those two get any more childish?
"So are you guys together now then?" Will asked hoping that they said yes or he would have to deal with the fact that his mother just wanted a quick roll in the hay.
Buffy and Spike exchanged nervous glances, both of them knew what they wanted the answer to that question to be. The thing was that they hadn't discussed it properly yet and the fear of rejection was looming close by. Buffy decided that she had to be brave.
"Yes we are, are you two ok with that?" Buffy asked as she went over to Spike and sat down next to him taking his hand in hers.
They all heard Joy sequel, Buffy and Spike grinned it reminded them so much of Dawn when she had been younger, they looked to Will who was smiling at them. They both let out a little sigh of relief, their children had accepted them and now they could get on with being truly happy.
Spike grabbed Buffy by the waist and turned her to him so that he could kiss her.
Joy grabbed Will's hand and made an urgh face, "Were going." She said as she headed for the door.

ELEVEN WEEKS LATER
Spike woke up alone in the bed he shared with Buffy, his head confused trying to find the source of sound that had woken him up and trying to work out why he was alone in his bed.
A few seconds past and he realized that the phone was ringing and that was what had woken him up, he pushed himself up out of bed and staggered down the stairs naked.
"'ello." Spike said when he picked the phone up.
"Hi dad." Joy's voice came from the other end sounding a little panicked. This woke Spike up straight away.
"Joy pet what's the matter?" He asked worried.
"Nothing much dad but I've gone into labour and we're heading out to the hospital now ok?"
Spike felt flustered, this was it the day they had all been waiting for and now Spike didn't know what to do.
"Dad you there?" Joy said worried by the silence on the other end of the phone.
"Yeah Joy Daddy's here, right well I'll get Buffy and we'll be there soon. Now you get yourself off love." Spike said regain his composure and putting the phone down.
Spike ran up the stairs shouting for Buffy as he went.
Buffy had heard the phone ringing but she couldn't pick herself up to answer it and as she had hoped Spike had woken up and answered it. Now she could hear him shouting her name.
She felt like shit but from the tone of his voice she knew that something serious had happened. She pushed herself up from the cold bathroom floor and used a tissue to wipe away any stray bits of sick from around her mouth.
"God I hate bring ill" She said to herself as she opened the bathroom door.
Spike took one look at her and pulled her into a hug, "What's the matter sweetheart?"
"Oh I just feel a little ill that's all. Who was that?" She asked not wanting Spike to be worried or to start fussing over her.
"Joy she's gone into labour." Spike said dragging his girlfriend into their bedroom to get dressed.
"Right well I'll get dressed and wake Dawn up. Then we better get going."
~*~
After flying into the hospital like an incoming tropical storm Buffy and Spike found that they had a while to wait yet. They had been into see Joy a few times and the nurse had told them it could be another twelve hours yet.
So they sat in the waiting room, just waiting.
Spike held Buffy close to him, she wasn't well and she probably shouldn't even be there but there was no way she was going to miss this. She'd spent the past couple of hours drifting in and out of sleep.
"How you feeling pet?" Spike asked when her eyes started to flutter open.
"Better now." Buffy said wriggling out of his arms and looking up.
Then she started to focus on something behind Spike, a poster. Looking at it closer she saw it said, 'Have you considered contraception?'
A new understanding came over, how could they have been so stupid? Why didn't they think about? She looked at Spike she knew this feeling she'd had it once before and the product of that feeling was now in this hospital waiting for his own baby to be born.
"Pet?" Spike said breaking her out of her own blind panic.
"God Spike we are so stupid. Your human now and we've been having sex like rabbits without using any protection!" She shouted causing all the other people including Dawn to stare at them.
Spike looked at her like she'd gone insane he didn't have a clue what she was on about, then he got it and his eyes widened.
