Chapter 14: Sorry I haven't updated in a while, the thing was down and wouldn't let me upload my story... I was so pissed, I had this done and couldn't put it up for like a week. Anyways... here is the next chapter. Enjoy!!!!

Buffy woke up the next morning and saw Spike watching her sleep. He was wide awake and just lyed there, holding her in his arms, looking at her. Spike smirked his sexy smirk.

Buffy: What?

Spike: Nothing, I like waking up next to you in the morning.

Buffy: Maybe I do too.

She smiled. She sifted uncomfortably in his arms.

Spike: Are you okay?

Buffy: Yeah...

They layed there looking at each other. Several minutes later the spoke.

Buffy: We gotta go to school.

Spike: I know, only a few more days left.

Buffy: 5 days exactly. You know what?

Spike: (Smirking) What?

Buffy: I'm glad I was pregnant now; I rather have it now than at the beginning of the school year.

Spike: Pet?

Buffy: Yeah?

Spike: Do you love me?

Buffy was very silent. She looked down from him. Spike felt a flash of disappointment.

Buffy: Why? Why do you have to ask me this... now?

Spike: Buffy... I wanna know, I love you, I won't deny that but I wanna know if I'm wasting my time or if I should move on...

Buffy felt tears approach and stood up from the bed looking down at him while he lyed there.

Buffy: So that's what this is? A hit up and run?

Now a few tears fell. Spike couldn't help it, he got so angry at what she said, he loved her and she was denying it.

Spike: Of course *not* luv, I love you so much, I just wanted to know... I dunno, I guess I shouldn't have asked, I thought things were perfect, I thought you would say yes, I thought...

Buffy: Spike... you *don't* know.

She began to get dressed.

Spike: Buffy, I...

She finished getting dressed and grabbed her book bag.

Buffy: I guess I was wrong, you really are like Angel.

She stormed out walking to Faith's room that had just finished getting dressed and got her book bag.

Faith: Hey B.

Buffy: Come on... let's go to Willow's, it's close to here.

Faith: Why can't Spike drop us off?

Buffy groaned so loud and took Faith's hand pulling her out her room. They walked down the stairs and out the front door.

Buffy: Let's get the hell out of here.

~~~

Willow: Hi guys.

Buffy: Hi, can we go to school with you today?

Willow: Of course, though why not with Angel and Spike?

Buffy and Faith groaned loudly at the hearing of both names.

Willow: Oooookay?

Buffy: Long story.

Willow: Okay come inside and tell me, oh, by the way, Cordy is here, she also needed a ride to school, her car broke down s it's a girls day.

Faith: A'ight, cool.

They got inside and Cordy was on the couch watching TV.

Cordelia: Hi guys.

Faith: Hi Cordy.

Cordelia could tell by the look on Buffy and Faith's faces they were sad and disappointed.

Cordelia: What's wrong?

Willow: They were just gonna spill, now go.

Buffy: Where's your parents Will?

Willow: At work.

Faith: So early, it's like 7:30.

Willow: Yeah, now spill.

Buffy: We really have to go to school.

Cordelia: School doesn't start for another 2 hours, we got time, now am I gonna have to make you talk?

Buffy: Fine, Faith first.

Faith: Okay... I got big news guys.

Willow: What is that?

Faith gave out a big deep breath.

Faith: Ok... I'm *also* pregnant.

Cordelia: What! Oh my god! That's so freaky.

Willow laughed.

Willow: Anyways... go on.

Faith: And Angel forced me to tell him what was wro... oh my god... B...

Buffy: He must have heard us in the bathroom with the pregnancy test; he must have heard and forced me to tell him... on my god...

Buffy: I can't believe that.

Cordelia: Anyway...

Faith: Anyway, I told him and he totally freaked, he said he doesn't want a baby and that we're too young and stuff.

Cordelia: That bastard!

Faith laughed at Cordy's tone.

Faith: Yeah.

Willow: I can't believe Angel would do that, he's so quiet and peaceful.

Faith: I guess I just discovered the meaning of 'it's always the quiet ones'.

They laughed.

Willow: Buffy.

Telling her it was her turn.

Buffy: Okay, this morning Spike asked me if I loved him... I didn't say anything right and...

Cordelia: That bastard! Wait, what's wrong with that?

Buffy: Well, he said he wanted to know, he wanted to know if he was wasting his time or should move on.

Willow: Do you love him?

Buffy: Yes... I mean no... I mean... I dunno.

Willow: Buffy... nothings wrong with you loving him.

Buffy: I know it's just... I'm scared. Cordelia: Of what?

Buffy: Of being with him, of being pregnant, of being *his* girl.

Willow: Buffy, that's okay to be afraid but you shouldn't hide your feeling. I mean...

Buffy: Will, Cordy, you don't understand, you're are not the ones who are pregnant, you're not the ones carrying a live baby. We are, it's totally different, believe me.

Cordelia: I guess you are right.

Buffy: Yeah.

Faith: B... couldn't have done this with out you.

Buffy: Same here Faithy.

Willow: Well, it's time for school, so come on guys.

It was time for school and it was gonna be a *long* day.

~~~

The day went by as normal, except for the fact that Faith and Buffy did not speak to either Angel or Spike. Even in computer class, Buffy didn't log onto the computer to talk to Spike, she was to upset, and neither did Faith. It was time to go home and Buffy and Faith met at the fountain.

Buffy: Ready?

Faith: Yeah. Come on.

They began to walk but Angel caught up to them.

Faith: Oh god, it's you.

Angel: Can we talk... alone... please?

Faith: No.

Angel: Faith, please?

Faith: Fine, you got 5 minutes. Catch up to you later B.

Buffy: Okay, actually, I'll be back, I'm kinda' thirsty, be back.

Buffy walked off. Faith sat on the ledge of the fountain and Angel did the same sitting next to her taking her hand, she yanked it away.

Angel: Faith... I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of it, and I guess I was upset.

Faith: That makes everything better. Now you're happy that your conscience is clear but I *still* get stuck with the baby.

Angel: Faith... that's not what I mean... I'm so sorry; I didn't mean any of it, why don't you believe me?

Faith: Angel, how am I suppose to believe you? You say we're to young and that you don't want it but now... what are you saying now?

Angel: That I want it, I wanna be there Faith, for you and him or her.

Faith: I don't believe you, I don't believe you, and you said you didn't, you said so Angel and that one time is the charm. I can't believe you, you expect me to come running into your arms and say I love you? Well guess what, not this time.

She stood up and walked away.

~~~ Buffy walked away from the fountain where Angel was talking to Faith. She wondered what he had to say. She walked and stopped at a bench and sat down. She closed her eyes and leaned into the chair thinking about the whole month, everything that had happened, everything that *will* happen when someone sat next to her.

Spike: Hiya luv.

Buffy didn't answer; she was a bit embarrassed to talk to him since what happened that morning.

Spike: I wanted to say I was sorry.

Buffy: For what?

Spike: For this morning, I didn't mean to say that, it just slipped, I'm sorry.

Buffy: Spike... I did mean what I said... do you *really* love me, or are you just using me for a hit and run?

Spike: I really...

He leaned in and gave her a long, deep passionate kiss. Buffy kissed him back with all she had.

Spike: Truly...

He gave her the same, long, passionate kiss.

Spike: Love you. I love you Buffy Summers.

He held her hands, a single tear ran down her face and she smiled wide.

Buffy: I think I might someday soon love you too.

He smiled wide and gave her a long hug. When he pulled away he took her hand.

Spike: Oh yeah, before I forget.

He went into his book bag and pulled out a big bouquet of right red roses. He handed them to her. Buffy giggled and hugged him.

Buffy: I love them. Thank you.

Spike: Your welcome, anything for my girl.

This time, when he said it, it didn't hurt as much, she wasn't afraid anymore, things were a lot better...

~~~

Faith walked away from Angel but he ran back up to her.

Angel: Faith please, believe me... I didn't mean any of it.

Faith: Sure.

She kept on walking and Angel called out to her.

Angel: I love you!

She stopped dead in her tracks.

Faith: You what?

Angel: I love you Faith.

He walked up to her and kissed her, it was a nice kiss. Faith still in his arms said:

Faith: I love you too...

~~~

They all got home and Giles and Jenny were in the kitchen talking.

Spike: Hey da', welcome back.

Giles: Hi son, Buffy, Faith, you're still here?

They felt a little ashamed.

Angel: Yeah, they are.

Giles: You both can stay here as long as you want. You know we don't mind.

Buffy: Than you Mr. Giles.

Giles: Just Giles please and it's our pleasure.

The 2 girls smiled.

Spike: Um... da'... me and Buffy have something to tell you.

Faith and Angel knew what that something was and decided on going upstairs. They walked quickly.

Giles: What might that be?

Spike: You may not like this.

Giles: William, out with it.

Spike: Ok...

Spike gave out a big... deep breath.

Spike: Buffy is pregnant.

Their faces were solid, no expression was shown.

Spike: With my child.

Giles: Well, that was a bit of a surprise.

He took off his glasses and began cleaning them. Things were awfully quiet.

Spike: Speak! Someone, please.

Giles: What do you expect me to say William, do you wish me to be happy with this news? T's a bit more than I expected.

Quietly, Angel and Faith were listening on the stairs.

Spike: Well da', it's done, can't take that back, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner but...

Giles: But what? William, you and Buffy are so young, you have your whole lives ahead of you for a child but why now?

Spike: It was a mistake da'.

Buffy was beginning to become uncomfortable.

Giles: Things like these are not mistakes son.

Angel and Faith feared of when the day came when they would tell him the *same* news...

Spike: Da', I'm sorry, I really am but it happened, it's done, you could at least be...

Giles: William, Buffy, I'm deeply sorry for you, I really am, this is a big step.

Buffy looked away for some reason though Spike knew it was because she was crying; he took her hand and walked her outside. He closed the door behind him and sat her down on the chair.

Spike: Are you okay pet?

Buffy was crying silently. He sat next to her and held her, rocking her back and forth, hopping she would calm down and that maybe Angel and Faith would have better luck...
