"So, it's true isn't it?" a voice asked Buffy. She looked up from the book of baby names she was reading to find the biggest snob in the school, Glorianna standing in front of her.
"What?" Buffy asked.
"That you're knocked up, it's true right?" she said with a cruel smile on her face.
"Yeah" Buffy admitted.
"Well" Glory scoffed. "I guess we know what you're darkest fantasy is."
"What are you talking about?" Buffy said, putting the book down.
"Oh come on 'Elizabeth', make the badest, and might I add hottest guy in the school fall in love with you and then get knocked up with his baby, or maybe it's not his at all, maybe the fantasy goes deeper" Glory said.
"You know Glory, you make me feel sorry I'm a blonde" Buffy said and got up, but Glory stepped in front of her.
"I had a chance at Spike before you came along" she said harshly.
"Oh please 'Glorianna', you wouldn't have a chance with Spike if all the skanks, which might I add, hardly measure up to you, left this town, he isn't interested in you okay, he loves me all right, 'me'" Buffy said.
"Oh please honey" Glory said. "Passion doesn't have to be about love." She smiled once more and turned and walked away. Buffy looked on at her remembering what she had told Spike. She shook the thought out of her head when she saw the bleached blonde hottie coming her way.
"Hi" she said happily.
"Hey beautiful" he said and kissed her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, picking up her book again and sitting down.
"Well pet, this is school you know, kind of mandatory" he said with a small smile.
"I just meant, here, I thought you had chem. this period" she said.
"Well I do, but just because I'm in school doesn't mean I'm gonna go to class" he said. She smiled. She loved the way he was bad, but not in a crack head criminal in jail for life for committing murder sort of way.
"I see" she said, and got back to reading.
"What are you reading?" he asked.
"Just a book of baby names, I think I know what to name it if it's a girl, but I'm not sure, and I have no idea for a boy" she said.
"Hmm, well luv I have to tell you I'm against the name Corky already" he said when he looked at the notes she had written in the book.
"Well me too kind of, I just thought it'd be different that's all" she said.
"Yeah it'd be different all right, he'd be branded a wanker all his life, do you really want that for our son?" he asked. She smiled. What?"
"Nothing, it's just that, it's the first time either of us has referred to the baby as 'our' anything, it's just been the baby or, it," she said.
"Well get used to it luv" he said and then kissed her lightly on the lips. She leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder. He put her arm around her and hugged her.
"I love you so much" she whispered.
"I love you too baby" he whispered back and kissed her on her head.
When Buffy arrived home she saw a car in the driveway that she didn't recognize. She went inside and to her surprise her father was sitting in the living room with her mom and sister. Buffy's mouth dropped when she saw the sight of her father.
"Buffy, you're home" Joyce said.
"Uh. . .yeah, wh-what are you. . .I mean why are you-" Buffy tired to ask.
"I called him sweetie and asked if he could come down" Joyce explained.
"But why?" Buffy asked astonished.
"Well you couldn't just expect me to stay in L.A. knowing that my little Lizzie bear was here and. . ." he said and then looked towards her abdomen. "Pregnant." Buffy covered her abdomen with her arms.
"Don't call me that, and don't sit there and pretend that you care" Buffy said.
"Buffy" Joyce scolded.
"What? We've been here for what like almost three months and even before that, when we moved out, we lived in L.A. for almost a year and a half after you two broke up, and he never once wanted to spend time with us or anything, it's like now that he wasn't married he didn't have to deal with the burden of kids too, look I don't care why you've come and I don't care, don't expect me to hug and kiss and make up just because you've decided you want some part at our lives, well guess what, I'm not a little girl anymore, I'm not that same little girl that would wait up for you those nights you spent with your glass of beer instead of at home with us all right, so don't even bother" Buffy said and then went upstairs to her room. When she was in her room she picked up the phone and called Spike, then Willow, then Xander and then Oz and last Cordelia. She told all of them to meet her at the Bronze. She just wanted a night with the love of her life and her best friends.
Buffy got ready. She wanted to dress hot. She wanted to show her father that she wasn't that nine-year-old little girl anymore. She went into her closet and got out a black leather skirt and red leather halter- top. She put on her black leather boots and curled her hair. She put on some dark eye shadow and some black mascara. She put on some dark red lipstick and got her red leather jacket and her purse to match. After she was done dressing and getting ready she went downstairs.
"Mom I'll be back by eleven all right" she said and headed towards the door.
"Elizabeth Summers you get back here right now" Joyce said, and Buffy backtracked to the couch.
"Where do you think you're going, and dressed like that?" Joyce asked.
"Look mom, I'm pregnant all right, pretty soon I'm not gonna be able to wear this, and I'm just going to the Bronze, I just need to dance off some stress" Buffy told her mother. "Look please mom, I'm gonna be eighteen tomorrow, just let me go."
"Fine, but be home by eleven, no later you hear me" Joyce said.
"Okay, I will" Buffy promised and left.
When Buffy got to the Bronze all of her friends were already there.
"Buffy, you look. . ." Xander said trying to find the words.
"Hot" Spike finished his sentence.
"Well thank you baby I'm glad you think so" Buffy told Spike and then kissed him.
"Uh. . .baby?" Spike asked.
"Yeah" Buffy answered with a smile.
"Sweet heart is something wrong?" he asked as she sat next to him and he put his arm around her.
"No, why?" she asked.
"Well it's just that. . ." he said, searching for an answer.
"It's just that you know you come in here dressed like coyote Buffy and. . ." Xander said also trying to finish his sentence.
"And we're just concerned" Willow finally stated.
"Guys I'm fine okay I promise, I just want to have a little fun, so come on let's dance" Buffy said pulling Spike up and dragging him to the dance floor.
"Is anybody else very afraid?" Xander asked.
"Totally, Buffy's like slut-o-rama, this isn't like her" Cordelia said.
"Well I just think she's going through something" Willow said.
"Oh she's going through something all right, I mean look at that outfit, even I wouldn't wear that" Cordelia said.
"Well on the bright side, she's having a good time" Oz said, Willow smiled as she looked at her friend.
"I wonder when she's gonna start showing" Willow said.
"Showing what?" Cordelia asked.
"The baby, I wonder when it's gonna start showing, you know I wonder when she gonna-" Willow said, but Cordelia cut in.
"What get fat?" she asked as they continued to watch Buffy and Spike dance sexily.
"No, not fat, pregnant, you know" Willow said. When the song ended Buffy gave Spike a passionate kiss and everyone in the club seemed to look at them.
"I love you baby" he said quietly.
"I love you too" she said and they walked back to their seats as their friends stared at them.
"What?" he asked.
"Nothing it's just that you two looked very um. . ." Xander said.
"What, happy?" Buffy asked and Xander decided to take that answer.
"Yeah, happy" he said.
"I am" Buffy lied, and Spike knew she was lying.
"Really?" he said skeptical.
"Yeah, why?" she asked.
"Nothing it's just that you seem. . .distant, that's all" he said.
"No, no I'm not, not distant, just. . .it's loud up here, tonight, that's all" she said, pointing to her head.
"Anything I can do to help?" he asked.
"Well" she said smiling, moving closer to him and quieting her voice to a whisper. "I think that there are some things that totally make everything go away."
"Yeah?" he said also smiling.
"Mm hmm" she said.
"Well, one more dance and we're out of here" he said as her favorite song came on.
"Okay" she said still smiling and she put her hand in his and he led her to the dance floor.

I CAN FEEL THE MAGIC FLOATING IN THE AIR BEING WITH YOU GETS ME THAT WAY I WATCH THE SUNLIGHT DANCE ACROSS YOUR FACE AND I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS SWEPT AWAY

Buffy closed her eyes and snuggled her face in his shoulder and breathed deeply with relaxation as they glided across the dance floor. She had never felt more love for him then in this very moment. She thought her heart might burst with love even. She loved him more than anything in life and now she was having his baby.

ALL MY THOUGHTS JUST SEEM TO SETTLE ON THE BREEZE WHEN I'M LYING WRAPPED UP IN YOUR ARMS THE WHOLE WORLD JUST FADES AWAY THE ONLY THING I HEAR IS THE BEATING OF YOUR HEART

Spike could feel Buffy's relaxation and he felt it too. The warmth of her. He pulled her closer and closed his eyes as they continued to dance. Xander, Willow, Oz and Cordelia watched with awe as Buffy and Spike danced.
"They really do make a great couple" Willow said.
"Yeah, that's one lucky baby" Xander said.

'CAUSE I CAN FEEL YOU BREATHE IT'S WASHING OVER ME AND SUDDENLY I'M MELTING INTO YOU THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE BABY ALL WE NEED IS JUST A BEAT CAUGHT UP IN THE TOUCH A SLOW AND STEADY RUSH BABY ISN'T THAT THE WAY THAT LOVE'S SUPPOSED TO BE I CAN FEEL YOU BREATHE JUST BREATHE

"Spike?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah luv?" Spike answered, their eyes still closed.
"Will you marry me?" Buffy asked. Spike broke away from their stance and looked at her totally surprised. Buffy just looked back.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"I asked if you would-" she began.
"It was rhetorical I heard what you bloody said" he said.
"Well I mean you love me right?" she asked.
"Of course I do" he told her.
"And we're gonna be parents, look baby it's just that. . .I was afraid that you wouldn't ask me, so I decided to make the first move for once" she said.
"I didn't know you wanted to get married" he said.
"That's because you've never asked" she said slyly.
"I don't know about this" Spike said.
"What, so you can bang me, but you can't marry me right?" Buffy asked, getting annoyed.
"That's not true, it's just that. . .I never thought about marriage" Spike said, and this made Buffy even more angry.
"What? You mean to tell me that. . .even after I told you I was pregnant you never once thought of asking me to marry you?" she said, her voice growing louder.
"Come on luv, keep your bloody voice down" Spike said.
"No Spike I won't, answer my question" she said.
"I just. . .I guess no, I mean we're so young" Spike said.
"What!" Buffy shouted. "What do you mean we're too young? You have some nerve you know that, you're not too young to have sex, but yeah you're way too young to get married, you're not too young to be a father- or. . .what about the baby? Are you bailing on that too?"
"Buffy, luv-" he began.
"Don't call me that" she said coldly.
"Look, I'm not bailing okay, I just. . ." he said.
"What? You just what? You delivered the package and now you're gone?" she asked metaphorically.
"Well you did sign for it sweet heart" he said.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean? You don't want the baby?" she asked with tears streaming down from her eyes now. "You don't want me?"
"Come on luv, don't cry I-" he started to say and wipe the tears away with his thumb, but she moved away.
"Don't touch me. . .Spike I. . .I love you more than anything" she said, now starting to cry.
"Baby I love you too, and I want the baby, look all of this came out wrong okay. . .I'm sorry if I never thought about marriage, I was just thinking about you and the baby, I wanted everything to be okay with the two of you" Spike said.
"We're fine" Buffy said.
"Buffy. . .I. . .I would love to marry you, but let me do it right okay, let me propose to you" Spike said.
"Okay" Buffy said smiling and jumped into his arms and they continued to dance.

I CAN FEEL THE MAGIC FLOATING IN THE AIR BEING WITH YOU GETS ME THAT WAY

As the song ended Buffy and Spike once again made their way to their seats.
"Hey, what was going on over there?" Willow asked.
"Yeah, we saw all the drama and stuff" Cordelia said.
"We're fine" Buffy said smiling.
"Okay" Xander said.
"We're gonna get out of here" Spike said taking Buffy's hand.
'Yeah, see you guys tomorrow" Buffy said and went out of the club with Spike. As they approached his car she stopped him to give him another kiss.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"I need a reason now?" she asked playfully.
"Of course not" he said and kissed her again. They got in the care and drove to Spike's place. When they got in the door Spike immediately started kissing her, but she pulled away.
"Baby, if you don't mind I'd just like to go to sleep, I'm really tired and I'm not feeling well" she said.
"Well you could sleep at you're place, why did you come here?" he asked, kind of annoyed. She looked at her feet and he softened his tone and tilted her head up to look at him. "I'm sorry baby, look we don't have to do anything you don't want." He took her hand and led her to his room and they laid there together. She curled up close to him and he wrapped his arms around her and she closed her eyes and fell asleep. As he laid there he thought of what was to come. He knew that she knew he was going to propose to her, but he wanted it to be perfect. He kissed her on the head before going to sleep himself.
