It'd been a few days since Spike freaky nightmare, it had repeated a few more times and he was beginning to worry.
Spike walked into the nursery, an odd silent breeze came into the room, which had two cribs and a nice sky blue painting with clouds. He saw two teddy bears, they were so small and he picked them, they looked strange, one of the bears slowly slipped from his hand, when it hit the floor, he saw Buffy standing at the door saying something to him but no words or sound came to his ears.
Spike woke up in bed with Buffy asleep next to him, 'Bloody hell!' he thought.
******
Buffy woke up and Spike was nowhere to be found but there was a note on the bed.
Mornin' Luv and twins:
I didn't want to wake you but I had to go with Peaches to the office. I'll be back later. Take care of yourselves, rest, sleep, eat and relax.
Love Spike
She smiled and stretched her arms in the air yawning.
"Hear that babies, daddy loves you," she smiled placing her hand on her belly. She got up, dressed and headed downstairs. She felt her tummy rumble, no one seemed to be there. Dawn still wasn't talking to her, at least Willow was starting to come around.
**************
Buffy had made a snack when she started to feel a little sick, so she decided to sit down and take a break. She walked back into the living room.
"Buffy," Buffy looked up and saw Giles with two bags standing right in front of her.
"Giles," she whispered. He smiled slightly, walked over to her and hugged her. A tear ran down her cheek. "I missed you," she whispered into his ear.
"I missed you too," he whispered back. "I would have been here earlier but I had a few things that I couldn't leave unfinished. I came as soon as I could," he explained. Buffy just nodded, she didn't care about that, the important thing was that he was back and she still felt a little guilty about the way she'd talked to him a while back.
"Giles, I'm sorry, before you left… I had no right, I just wanted someone to blame," she frowned.
"I understood Buffy, you where hurting," he said comfortingly. Buffy smiled. "But I must say you look a little different," he coughed.
She laughed, "I'm pregnant Giles, I know you can tell. I'm as big as a house, but I'm happy."
"May I ask, mm, how far along, or when and quite possibly how?" he asked.
"Come on Giles, we both know how this happen. Wait! Didn't Wes tell you everything? I mean I thought you knew about Spike and me."
"Well he just said that I was needed here as soon as possible, wait... Spike's dead."
"See that's, mmm… the thing's Spike isn't dead, well he's dead in the not living sense of the word, but he's here and he's kind of the father of my twins. Surprise, you're going to be a grandfather!" Buffy said as gently as she could, the look on Giles' face was so astonished, that she almost thought he was about to have a heart attack right there.
"I... I think. I think, I have no idea what to think," Giles said leaning back against the chair. "So when did Spike come back?"
"A few nights ago, at first he was all grr," Buffy said putting her hands like a tiger. "But then he was fine and he's back with me where he belongs Giles."
"Ohh Buffy, one more thing?"
"Yes?"
"I think I'm going to faint," and that's just what he did, it was too much to take for him, Buffy pregnant with a vampire's child, vampire died,vampire back.
******* A few seconds later
"Giles? Giles?" Giles woke up to someone talking to him, his eyes opened and saw Buffy kneeling beside him. "Good, you're awake."
Giles stood up and clean off any dirt that had gotten on him. "Sorry about that Buffy, it just was too much to take in," he said picking up his glasses and starting to clean them, making Buffy gave a slight giggle.
"Good old Giles, cleaning of the glasses."
He smile and laughed also and said, "But now they're back on, so where shall I retire to rest?" he asked.
********** Angel's Office
Angel was in his office looking through his files, his mind really hadn't been on work since the Spike's return and now he felt like he was going crazy and was not really sure what to do or think. Always thinking if Buffy's safe or if Spike's killing her at the moment. That's the real reason he hired him, that way he would know Buffy was safe and where Spike was the whole time.
He saw Wes passing by. "Oh Wes, can you come here for a second?" Angel called, Wes entered his office with a stack of books in his arms.
"Yes Angel?"
"I just wanted to know if you get anything done on that thing I asked you, please tell me you've found something," Angel nearly begged him. Wes released all of his books on Angel's desk.
"I searched online and came up with a few leads that turned out to be nothing and then I turned back to some old friends," he added tapping his books. "The search has come to nothing but I am still trying."
"I know Wes, and thanks. I mean I have to know, a vampire getting a human pregnant let alone a slayer and him coming back from the dead, it's just that I want to make sure Spike is Spike and that he won't go nuts and hurt Buffy, I also want to make sure nothing came back with him," he explained leaning back against his leather chair.
Wes could tell Angel was very worried. "I'm guessing you're worried about Buffy?"
"Aren't I always," Angel said, Wes nodded.
"I'll look some more into it and I have a few other books I can look at.Willow, Fred and Dawn are helping me search in another books."
"Alright. I just want to make sure Spike is Spike and that he won't hurt her or the twins."
"Trust me Angel, when I say that I'll have the answer to all your questions as soon as I can."
************ Willow's Apartment
Buffy knew the only place Dawn would go to is Willow's apartment, so she decided to look for her there first. It was time for them to talk. She went to apartment, but Dawn wasn't there, so she waited for her while she read a babies names' book.
"Willow I'm here," Dawn's voice called. To her surprise it wasn't Willow whom she saw sitting on the sofa, it was Buffy. "What are you doing here?" she said crossing her arms over her chest giving her a mean glare.
"I came to see you, Willow isn't here," she said settling the book beside her.
"Ok, what do you want?"
"To talk,"
"Go ahead, I'm listening."
"Look… I am sorry I didn't tell you about me being pregnant, I was scared about what all of you would say, you must understand I wanted to tell you Dawnie, I really did," she sighed.
"But you didn't and that hurt. You didn't trust me. I mean I saw you with Lorne and you weren't like that with me and that hurt so much," a tear fall down her face. "And I thought I had lost you as a sister."
"Awww Dawnie," she opened her arms and Dawn ran into them. "I'm sorry I made you feel that way, you're just as important to me as my babies, you're their aunt," she said placing Dawn's hand on her belly.
Dawn smiled. "They kicked, they kicked." she smiled happily, she'd finally felt her sister's twin babies.
"Yep, they're fighters just like Spike and I," she smiled.
"I'm glad he's back, I mean, you to belong together."
"Yea we do."
*************Giles and Spike in the Training Room
Spike came back to the hotel a little after six, hoping to take Buffy out somewhere nice to make up for yesterday. He walked in and to his surprise, he found Giles standing right before him.
"Watcher, you're back," Spike said.
"Good to see you too Spike, if you don't mind I would like to have a word."
"Can it wait? I'm looking for Buffy," he said turning to leave.
"She isn't here."
Spike turned around, "Where did she go?" he asked.
"Dawn and her went out to dine along with Xander and Faith, they went along to make sure they're safe," he added in case Spike didn't like the fact she was out alone with her sister.
"Right. So what do you wanna talk about?" he asked.
"Care to come with me down to the training room?" he asked walking that way. Spike nodded and followed him. When they reached the training room, Giles walked around looking at the weapons. Spike leaned against the wall.
"I can see Angel has added some more weapons in here," Giles said taking off the sword swirling it around in the air.
"You've gotten pretty good at that, watcher," Spike commented. "And I highly doubt you called me down here to give me fatherly advice."
"That's right Spike, you know I love Buffy like a daughter and she's very happy about this children and your presence. I'm worried about their safety and I just wanted you to know that if you ever hurt any of them I'll shove stake through your heart."
"I'd never hurt them, I'll protect them with my own life." Spike growled, he knew Giles only wanted what was best for her but frankly he was a little tired of everyone thinking that he would harm them in any way, he loved them more than anything in the world.
"I'm glad we had this talk then," Giles added placing the sword back on the wall and walked out of the training room.
Spike felt a giant headache overcome him, he felt dizzy and soon the room started spinning and he fell to the mat.
*He saw a death valley that went on for miles, a lot of bodies covered it and he could smell the blood as if he was right there standing over them. Blood was everywhere and girls, millions and millions of them. They had marks on their foreheads, but he couldn't really tell what shape it had. It looked kinda funny but it seemed familiar. Their blood soiled the ground, their blood will seal the fates. She dies before the sun rises, just another player in the game. A girl about seventeen years old, with dark blue hair, wearing a pair of black overalls and red shirt running down a path way."
"Bloody Hell!" he said. He woke up and he still was in the training room, he had no idea what that was, but now he knew these weren't simple nightmares, something else was happening. He needed help, but he couldn't ask Buffy. He didn't want anything to upset her. Only other person came to his mind that could help him.
*********** Fred's Office
"Spike, Hi. Is something wrong?" Fred asked standing up from her desk. Spike nodded, walked over and sat down on the chair across from her.
"There's something wrong with me."
"I don't understand."
"I'm having visions of something, it has happened when I'm asleep, when I close my eyes or just standing, and I don't know what to make of them."
"What are these vision about"?
"They're all different. In the first one I saw Angelus and he told me a few things that upset me, that was when I was locked in the cage asleep. Then I saw him again, he wasn't Angel it was Angelus and he was feeding from Buffy and I couldn't save her. Now they've gotten worse. I'm in a dark place and I see the ground opening up and I hear screams of pain and a baby crying and I've seen Buffy bleeding from a wound in her heart. She was whispering that I was going to rip out her heart and I was going to watch her die and it seemed so real."
"Have you talked to Wesley or Angel about this?"
"No. I just needed some answers and I know you're really smart. So please, do you think you can help me? Maybe together we could figure why I'm having these visions or dreams," he pleaded.
"I can try," she answered honestly. Spike smiled and nodded.
