Well, more of the truth will be revealed in this chapter. I wanted to say to Vld that your question will be answered in this chapter. I also wanted to let tinkerbell know that you have become my personal favorite and thanks for saying that you like my dialogue. I realize I'm sucking up for some reason and I don't know why. Oh well, no harm ever came in that. Anyway, I just hope that when you read this ya'll don't hate me for what I did, but I think that it had to be this way. Again, all shall be revealed. I'm sure some people might be disappointed, but I told you I was evil. Anyway, it still gets better and I still think the story is cute. I always imagined how Buffy would be with a daughter, so I hope ya'll decide to stick with me until the end, thanks ever so=)

Chapter 6

"Hey sweetie," Buffy said as she picked the little girl up. "Did you like flying in a plane?" Buffy asked in a sweet, motherly voice.

"It was scary, but auntie Faith said that I would be okay and that she would protect me." Buffy smiled.

"Well, she was right." Buffy kissed her on the head and then looked up and noticed Spike staring at her with a confused look on his face. Buffy took a deep breath. "It's now or never." She said as she put Emily down. She held her hand and walked over to Spike. When Buffy was in front of Spike she didn't know what to say. She just took another breath and decided that the truth would probably be the best approach. "Spike, this is Emily. She's my...she's my daughter." Spike's eyes got big as he looked at Buffy and then at the little girl who was holding on to her hand.

"Yeah, I'm getting that. I should have noticed, she does look just like you." Buffy smiled at him, glad that so far it was going okay. "So, I'm guessing this is what you were scared about telling me." Buffy nodded and looked down and then back up at him.

"I wasn't sure how you would handle it. I wanted to tell you so many times, I guess I just didn't know how." Spike nodded and asked the question that he really didn't want to ask, but he knew he had to. He was just afraid of what the answer would be.

"So, who's the father?" Buffy sighed; she knew he would ask that. She wasn't sure about what to tell him when Xander walked up to them.

"There's my little girl." He said as he picked up Emily and twirled her around, the girl giggled in delight. Spike looked even more shocked as he looked from Buffy to Xander.

"Xander, why don't you take her to meet the others while I talk to Spike?" Xander nodded and walked away with Emily still in his arms. Spike just watched him go and then looked back at Buffy.

"Wait, you mean to tell me that he's the father. When did this happen?" Spike asked, his voice raising.

"Spike, calm down. It's not what you think." Spike crossed his arms over his chest.

"Okay, care to explain then?" Buffy nodded.

"Xander's not the father, but he is so good with her and Emily loves him. She called him daddy a while ago and I didn't exactly have the heart to tell her that he wasn't, so I may have let her believe that." Spike sighed in relief.

"So, if he's not then who is?" Buffy looked down and she looked like she was about to cry. Spike wasn't sure what was wrong.

"I don't want to talk about it. Can we just leave at that for now, please?" Spike noticed the sad expression on her face and decided not to push; she'll tell him when she's ready. He just looked at her and nodded.

"Of course, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. I just want you to know that you can tell me anything and I'll always be here for you, you know that right?" Buffy nodded and looked at him.

"I know, thank you." She said as she hugged him. He felt her tears fall on his shirt as he hugged her back and he was trying to hold his own tears in. He didn't think it would make her feel better if she saw him crying too. He just held her for what seemed like forever and he couldn't help but wonder, what happened to her?
