"Hold on baby, we're almost there" Spike whispered into Buffy's ear. Buffy and Spike

had been riding in a taxi for over an hour now. Spike had decided that a taxi was the best

way to go. He didn't want to take the bus, because too many people would ask what was

wrong with Buffy. So there they were only a few blocks away from where they were

going. Angel Investigations. Spike still wasn't sure what he was going to tell Angel. All

he cared about right now was getting Buffy and their baby to a safe place.

The taxi pulled to a stop in front of the hotel. Spike handed the driver his money

and climbed out. He carried Buffy to the front door.

"Here goes nothing," Spike said as he pushed the door open.

"Spike what hell are you doing here? Is that Buffy?" Angel yelled "What the fuck did

you do to her?"

"Shhh, she's sleeping. Can I just lay her down in a bed somewhere, then I'll tell you

everything" Spike replied.

"Give her to me" Angel demanded "Did you bite her? I'll kill you if you bit her"

"I didn't bite her. I couldn't have. I'm human now" Spike replied "Now will you please

shut up and show me where I can put her"

"Angel, stop being an idiot" Cordellia spoke for the first time "You can lay her right here,

Spike" she said as she pointed to a couch in the lobby.

"Thanks" Spike replied as he carefully placed Buffy on the couch. Once Buffy was out of

Spikes arms Angel shoved him away from Buffy.

"Now talk" Angel demanded.

"It's a really long story. What part do you want to hear?" Spike asked.

"All of it" Angel replied "I want to know why the hell Buffy's pregnant? Who the father

is?, Why she's unconscious?, Why you're with her?, Why you're here at my hotel? Why

you think you're human? And if you are human how you got that way?"

"Okay, but you may want to sit down" Spike took a deep breath before starting his long

story. " It all started last year when Buffy and I started sleeping together. She would

come to me when she was upset and needed someone. I got a job at a bar. I was paid to

dance on the bar with 2 other girls. One night Buffy was walking by and she decided to

come in. I helped her get a job too, because she was really short money. We worked there

together for a few months. Riley came back at one point, he really upset Buffy. He was

trying to get her back in all the wrong ways. Buffy finally admitted that she loved me and

I had been waiting for so long to here her say those three little words. I moved in with

Buffy, the Nibblet, Willow and Tara. Buffy told the girls about us then, but everyone else

still didn't know. Buffy called a Scoobie meeting to tell the Whelp and his girlfriend. His

girlfriend was happy for us, but the Whelp was nowhere near happy. He ran right out the

door. That night Riley was killed by a demon. The whelp finally excepted the fact that

Buffy and I were in love. Then my life really changed. I killed the demon that had killed

Riley and the demon turned out to be a Halichno demon."

"Halichno demon isn't that the demon that grants hearts desire when someone kills it"

Angel asked.

"That would be the one" Spike replied

"And what was your hearts deepest desire?" Angel asked.

"To be human. Now would you please let me finish my story" Spike replied.

"Fine" Angel replied.

"So after I was turned human, that's when Buffy started to get sick in the morning and

have weird mood swings. She took a pregnancy test and it came up positive. Right after

that she got really sick, she had to stay in the hospital for a while. Xander and I realized

that we have a lot in common, we both want what's best for Buffy. Giles came out to visit

us all. He told us that our baby was no ordinary baby. Our baby is going to be the balance

between good and evil. He also told us that the Order of Hima was created to kill our

baby, so that there could be no balance. The only way to kill the Order of Hima is with

the Ring of Heaher. So I went to get the Ring of Heaher, which is protected by the

Goddess of Heaher. One of the nights when I was away the Order of Hima captured all of

the Scoobies. I came in just in time to save Buffy and our baby. The rest of the Scoobies

are still in Sunnydale killing the rest of the demons from the Order of Hima. I took Buffy

and came to the safest place I could think of. And that was here" Spike finished his story.

"And I'm supposed to believe that this is all true, William?" Angel questioned with a

growl "You are a liar, you always have been"

"He's telling the truth," Buffy said as she sat up on the couch.

"Buffy, luv how are you feeling?" Spike asked. As he ran over to her. Angel just watched

as Spike kissed her on the forehead and started rubbing small circles on Buffy's

abdomen.

"A lot better" Buffy replied "I'm just tired"

"God I love you so much" Spike whispered into her ear.

"I love you too" Buffy replied "I knew that you would come and save me. I knew you

wouldn't let them hurt our baby," she said as she choked back tears.

"Buffy don't you realize who this is. It's Spike for crying out loud, He's evil" Angel

exclaimed.

"Angel just shut up. Buffy doesn't need to deal with you right now. Can't you see that

she's tired" Cordellia said, "Here you two I'll show you a room where you can both get

some rest"

Cordellia lead Buffy and Spike up the stairs and into one of the many rooms.
