Zander walks into Buffy's living room and sees her and Spike sitting on the couch watching TV.
"What's he doing here?" Zander said. Spike looks up and glares at Zander when he say's this.
"Visiting me, why?" Buffy replied sarcastically
"Why is he in your house visiting you?" demanded Zander.
"Oh Bloody Hell, were going out now, get that through your puny head! Got to go luv, sorry." Spike exclaimed as he gets up, gives Buffy a kiss, throws his jacket over his head, and leaves.
"Look now you made him leave! Why can't you just accept that I l LOVE him," Cried Buffy.
"You.. you don't L..L..Lo, ugg I can't even say it!" Zander shuddered as he sat down next to her on the sofa. Buffy crossed her arms and glared at him.
"Love him! Well I do, love as in want to spend the rest of my life with him, never want to be apart. Why can't you accept that?" She asked.
"it's just so," Zander said "so ewww!"
"Why?" Buffy wondered.
"Well he..he's Spike! He's evil, and rotten look just because hes obsessed over you doesn't mean you have to say you l..llove him," He replied hugging her. Buffy pushes him away and jumps up.
She explodes, "Love him well I do! When he first said it to me I was repulsed! I can still hear his words echoing in my mind, 'I love you. Your all I bloody think about, dream about, your in my gut, my throat. I'm drownin in ya Summers, drownin. I told him that he was just imagining it. But then then..."
"You lost your mind?" Zander retorted.
"No!" Buffy cried and then her voice softened, "When that singing demon came to town it made me realize that I did love Spike, while you were all singing I kissed him, and yea I made excuses later, but he knew I meant it and deep down so did I! I realized deep down I had loved him since he first said it to me, I was just to afraid to admit it!"
"Buffy, he made a frickin robot out of you!" pointed out Zander.
"Damn it Zander I know that, but I still love him! If you can't handle that, okay but don't you dare mess this up for me! I really truly love him, and Dawn adores him, and he adores her." Buffy told him.
Zander sarcastically replied "oh yea and you really loved Angel, and this relationship won't turn out like the ones with Riley and Angel either."
Buffy Blows up and punches Zander in the face. "Look don't you dare bring Angel into this, I loved him, I still do, and that was different. I'm happy, Dawn's happy and I think this is good for her."
Dawn Walks in, "What's good for me?"
" that you have Spike now, because he and Buffy are together" Zander answered.
Dawn answered, "yea, I guess it is, I mean Spikes cool, and he treats me better than a lot of your other boyfriends! I mean he tries to treat me like an adult and tells me stuff, unlike some people."
"Sorry Dawn, but I just want to protect you," Buffy said breaking in.
Zander adds, "Okay okay whatever, I just came to tell you..."
"What is it?" Buffy is worried suddenly.
"It's Faith, she's coming here,,, to Sunnydale," he said nervously.
Buffy is surprised "Here!!!"
"yea, she should be here tomorrow morning," Zander said smiling weakly.
"Why?" Dawn asked.
"To help train the potentials, I assume," replied Zander
"oh, great," mused Dawn.
"Dawn go do your homework," Buffy told her.
"but, i..." Dawn complained.
Warningly, "Dawn."
"okay fine whatever " Dawn mutted, " Were going to war and I still have to do homework!" she turned and walked out while Buffy shakes her head.
"Okay, wait Faith? I thought she was in jail?" Buffy pointed out.
"Nope, not anymore! Wesley busted her out," Zander laughed.
"oh great, as if we don't have enough problems on our hands, physo slayer is back!" Buffy groaned.
Faith walks in suddenly. "Did someone mention me?"
"Faith, your early," Buffy said.
"What no hug? Hey B surprised to see me?" Faith jokes.
"Only a little, so how are you?" Buffy asks.
"Five-By-Five. So I hear your bangin Spike now, what's that like?" teases Faith.
"Why do people keep bringing that up?" Buffy exploded. Dawn walked in.
"Buffy Willow just called, she said Faith, Oh she's here!"
"Hey kid!" Faith exclaimed.
"I'm not a kid!" Dawn retorted smirking.
" Ouch temper! So when do I meet our replacements?" asked Faith.
"Well now I guess. Amanda, Kennedy come here!" Buffy called.
Amanda and Kennedy run in "What?"
"I'd like you to meet Faith, the other slayer," Buffy said.
"only two, where are the rest?" questions a surprised Faith.
Ummm Giles, took them on a retreat thing with Willow.
"Oh well lets get started," Faith said brightly.
"oh," Buffy starts and then she falls, and the floor starts spinning
"are you okay?" Dawn exclaimed worried.
"yea fine just a little dizzy, go with Faith and the girls, this is to much, I'm going to Spikes. Will you be okay?" Buffy asked.
"yea, go on." Dawn reassured her.
Buffy heads over to Spikes.
"Hey love! How's it going?" Spike said, then he sees Buffy's expression, "Uh oh what's wrong?"
"It's Faith, she's back! Can I stay over here?" Buffy asked.
"Sure, back what do you mean back?" Spike questioned.
"She's here to help the potentials train." Buffy answered.
Buffy and Spike sleep and the next morning he wakes up to the sound of Buffy retching.
Spike jumps up and runs over to Buffy.
" Love, Love are you okay?"
"Yea, it must have been something I ate," Buffy moaned.
"Well here sit down and rest!" Spike comforts her.
"No, no I better get home, or to what's left of it!" Buffy reassured him.
"Okay, well love you!" Spike said.
I love you to, bye," she kisses him and leaves.
When Buffy gets home around noon she finds the house empty and takes a shower and then rests.
Zander comes into Buffy's room
"Hey Buff, you have a visitor."
"Really, who?" Buffy asks surprised.
"Go outside and see!" Zander exclaimed.
Buffy gets up and goes outside, leaning against a tree is none other than Angel!
"Angel?!? What are you doing here?" Buffy gasped
Angel hugs her.
"Hey I came to see you and to check on Faith's arrival. You're okay, right?"
"Well actually no, can we take a walk?" Buffy questioned.
Sure," Angel replied.
Buffy and Angel walk side by side to the park
"Okay, Angel I'm with Spike now and I sorta have a big problem," Buffy looks up at him nervously.
"okay, shoot," Said Angel
Buffy replied, "I'm pregnant."
