"Oh my god Buffy you're back, so how does it feel to be married and
still in high school?" Willow asked when Buffy entered the school building.
She and Spike had just gotten back from Tahiti the day before and she still
had major jetlag, but she wanted to get started right back to school so she
didn't flunk out. She didn't even have time to go and see her mom before
she came back to school.
"It feel good, really good" Buffy smiled.
'So, where's your husband?" Willow asked.
"Oh, he didn't come to school today, he was still too tired, actually I'm still too tired" Buffy said.
"Well why didn't you stay home, you're pregnant you should be resting" Willow said.
"Relax Will, I'm only two months along" Buffy said.
"Two and a half, almost three" Willow reminded her.
"I know, but I didn't want to flunk so here I am" Buffy said and the bell rang. "Oh I have to go to class, meet me after?"
"Sure, see ya" Willow said and they went in opposite directions. When the school day was over Buffy went straight to her mom's house. She was very anxious to see her and Dawn.
"Mom? I'm home" Buffy said, and then caught herself. This wasn't her home anymore. "I mean I'm back from my honeymoon."
"Honey! It's so great to see you!" Joyce said happily as she hugged her daughter.
"You too mom" Buffy said.
"Okay, you have to tell me everything, I want to know everything you guys did, morning noon and night" Joyce said.
"Uh, mom do you really want to know what we did at night?" Buffy asked, half jokingly.
"Oh, no, no please, that's to be expected, but the other stuff, did you have fun?" Joyce asked.
"Oh, yeah, well mostly" Buffy said.
"What do you mean?" Joyce asked.
"Well it seems that Spike's ex-girlfriend, Drusilla was also there, in the same hotel. . .and. . .she has feelings for Spike, and I told her that if she puts her lips on him in any way, I would kill her and burry her body right there on the beach" Buffy said.
"What did she look like, was she pretty?" Joyce asked.
"No, you know the Adams Family?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah" Joyce said.
"Well let's just say that Slutsilla makes Mortisha look like Miss America" Buffy said.
"Oh, so did you fight her?" Joyce asked.
"Well I wanted to, would have, but my dear husband wouldn't let me, held me back" Buffy said, and Joyce smiled. "What?"
"Nothing it's just that's the first time I've heard you refer to Spike as your husband" Joyce said, starting to tear up. "My baby has a husband, my baby's having a baby."
"Mom, do not start to cry on me okay, I'm still your daughter, I just don't live at home anymore, which is why I have to pack my stuff, and Spike and I have to look for a new place, that is gonna be hard."
"Why do you have to move?" Joyce asked.
"Well because Spike's apartment only has one bedroom, and we're gonna have three people living there so, we need an extra bedroom, actually I'd like to have two extra bedrooms" Buffy said. Just then Dawn came through the door.
"Mom I'm home and- Buffy!" Dawn said, noticing her sister.
"Hey Dawnie" Buffy said and Dawn gave Buffy a big hug.
"I missed you" Dawn said.
"I missed you too, we have a lot to catch up on. . ."

After talking to her mom and sister she packed up some of things and went to Spike's place. He was awake now and watching TV.
"Hey baby" she said.
"Hi, where have you been?" he asked.
"My mom's, I wanted to talk to her and besides I had to get some of my stuff" she said and sat on his lap.
"Well I'm glad you're home" he said quietly and buried his face in her neck and began kissing her.
"Mmm, me too" she moaned and smiled. "Honey?"
"Hmm" he asked, still kissing her.
"What are we going to do? You know about our living situation?" she asked. He stopped kissing her and looked at her.
"I don't know" he said bluntly.
"Maybe we should start looking for a place" Buffy said.
"And how do you suggest we pay for it?" he asked.
"I don't know, why are you getting all bad moody on me, I'm just being honest" she said.
"Well I don't want to think about it" he said.
"Spike, I'm pregnant-" she began.
"I don't care!" he shouted, the look on her face made him changed his tone. "I'm sorry baby okay I-"
"No, don't" she said getting up. "Forget it."
"Look I-" Spike tried to say.
"I'm tired, I'm going to bed" she and waked into their bedroom. He sighed and turned the TV back on. He thought that it was better for him to just let her cool off a little and then go and talk to her.
It was about 9:30 when Spike went into his and Buffy's bedroom. She was still asleep and he sat by her on the edge of the bed and lightly shook her.
"Hmm?" she asked, her eyes still closed.
"Baby, wake up I need to talk to you" Spike said and Buffy opened her eyes.
"What?" she asked. She still seemed mad at him.
"Look, I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted this afternoon" he said. "I love you and I love the baby okay."
"I love you too" she said quietly.
"We will figure this out okay, we will find someplace, maybe this complex has a bigger apartment" he said.
"I hope so, Spike it's not that I don't like living here, I do, I love it, but with the baby. . ." she said.
"I know" he said. "Look we'll start looking tomorrow okay."
"Okay, Spike?" she asked.
"Yeah?"
"You. . .you wanted to marry me right?" she asked.
"Of course, why"
"It's just. . .I kinda freaked that night at the Bronze when we were talking about this, I just hope I didn't make you feel obligated" she said.
"No, baby. . .I love you, and I'm so happy to be married to you okay" he said.
"Okay" she smiled and hugged him.
"It feel good, really good" Buffy smiled.
'So, where's your husband?" Willow asked.
"Oh, he didn't come to school today, he was still too tired, actually I'm still too tired" Buffy said.
