Diclamer: I don't own them
Thanks for reviews
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Spike and Fred had been working on their research for a few days now and nothing had came up. They had found a clue to why Spike have been having the nightmare/dreams.
"So still nothing?" Spike asked.
"Sorry Spike, I mean, I looked through everything and I haven't been able to find anything. Are you sure you don't want to ask Wes, he's really smart and know a lot of this book stuff."
"No, not Wes, he might tell Angel, who most certainly will tell Buffy and I don't want her to know, I don't wanna risk upsetting her," Spike sighed slumping back in the leather chair.
"Ohh look!" Spike got up and rushed over to Fred's side, "Wait, never mind, it's nothing."
"Hope I'm not intruding," Buffy asked. Spike and Fred looked up and saw Buffy standing at the door. Spike moved a little away from Fred.
"Buffy!" Spike smiled. "We weren't doing anything just some work."
"Right work. I brought you lunch and I thought we could have lunch together since I barely get to see you anymore," she explained walking over to him now she was well into her 5th month.
Spike hit his forehead. "I wish I could Luv but I can't. I really have to finish this up. I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you, promise," Spike said pulling Buffy into a hug. She didn't want to show Spike how disappointed she was so she merely nodded.
"Fine, don't work too hard," she said kissing his lips. Fred turned her head back to her books. "I love you," she whispered.
"I love you three," he laughed. "And I'll make it up to you."
"Alright, bye." Buffy said and started to walk towards the door. Spike waved her off and she left.
"Fine. I'll eat by myself," she pouted.
Buffy walked out of the building without seeing where she was going and bumped right into somebody knocking over all of his papers.
"Oh my gosh. I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't saw where I was going," she frowned trying to bend down with her huge belly in front of her.
"It's quite alright," 'he's British,' Buffy looked up to see a tall, handsome man smiling at her. He had an awesome smile, nice blue eyes, chestnut hair and he seemed to had an amazing body underneath his suit.
"I'm Dominic Amadeus," he said extending his hand to hers which she accepted.
"Buffy Summers," she smiled and he kissed her knuckles. He continue to smile at her finally letting her hand drop. "I am sorry, I really didn't see you."
"Like I said, Ms. Summers, it's fine," he winked. She blushed under his gaze. "Do you work here? Because I don't believe I've ever seen a beauty like you around."
"No I was leaving lunch for a friend, that's all," she explained. 'Dumb Buffy, Spike isn't your friend, he's your lover, the father of your unborn twins.'
"Oh, well. I hope you'll bring lunch to your friend often, if that means I'll see more of you," he smirked. 'Sexy lips, sexy lips.'
"Uh huh, I got…, I mean I got to go," she felt like a teenager again under his stare.
"Well, nice meeting you Ms. Summers."
"Buffy, call me Buffy," she smiled.
"Indeed I will. Buffy, have a nice day," he said leaving her standing alone. She felt her cheeks hot, she must be blushing.
"Wow!" she laughed before continuing on her way.
********** Later
Spike felt bad for leaving Buffy and not being around. Wes and Dawn had hinted she'd been stressed for a few days now.
Spike looked all around the hotel for Buffy, she didn't seem to be anywhere. He headed upstairs to his room, he opened the door. All the lights were out and the only light was coming from the candles that were lighted all over the room
"Buffy are you in here?" he asked. Then the bathroom door opened and Buffy stepped out. She was a sight for sore eyes and what she was wearing made Spike's mouth water. It was a pink see-through night gown and it made her look really sexy, but Spike could help but think that she looked adorable too with her belly sticking out.
"Hey there sailor," she whispered in a sexy way. She smirked and waddled over to the bed and sat down calling Spike with one of her fingers, patting the bed for him to sat with her.
"Luv, what are you doing?" he laughed and that made her frown.
"I'm trying to be sexy, waiting for you to come over here and have your naughty way with me," she pouted. "See I have my sexy outfit on," she pointed to her outfit.
"I can see that but I have a better idea, get under the covers and put one of my shirts on and I'll bring you a box of ice cream and a can of pickles and we can lay here and talk," he offered, as much has he wanted to have his naughty way with her, he didn't want to hurt the babies. She got mad at him and hopped off the bed, waddled over to him and kicked his knee.
"You're jerk, get out! I hate you! I prepared a special night for us and you don't want to do anything," she screamed.
"Buffy, Pet..."
"Don't Buffy pet me, you think I'm ugly. I see the way all you guys check Fred or Faith or whoever else. No one looks at Buffy anymore, all they care about is short skirts and thongs. You make me sick, get out!" she cried.
"Buffy…"
"GET OUT SPIKE, LEAVE ME ALONE, I HATE YOU!!!" she screamed so loud that Spike was sure everyone had heard her. Angel wasn't that far down the hall, he heard her screams and thought Spike had went nuts so he ran to the room.
"Buffy!" he shouted opening the door seeing Spike and then looking at Buffy and then he realized what she was wearing so he looked away.
"GET OUT!!!" she screamed. Angel quickly left the room shutting the door behind. "You get out too!!" she screamed at Spike and then Spike came out of the room.
"She loves me," he sighed. Angel rolled his eyes quickly made his way downstairs. "You better forget what you saw." Spike called after him.
*************A Girl Chat
Buffy decided to leave the hotel for breakfast and asked Faith to join her for some girl and girl talk since Willow was helping Dawn with a school project and Xander and Lorne wouldn't understand.
"So Faith, there had been some rumors going around about you and a certain friend of mine is there any truth to it."
"Xander and me? I mean I've jumped his bones a few times, on the kitchen table, on the floor and even on Angel's bed," she laughed.
"Okay to much information, so is he past the grieving part with Anya and all?"
"Okay B, here's the deal. I'm going to tell you something but you can't tell anyone because it'll make me look like a huge teddy bear, alright?"
"Deal. What is it?"
"Okay, Xander and I are dating and we've become very close not just sex wise and here's the thing, I usually wait for the guy to say I love you but one time when I was getting off I screamed it out 'I love you Xander'."
"Oh my gosh, what did he say?"
"He said 'What?' And I said 'I love you, jackass' then he said 'Really? Do you really mean it? You aren't just messing around?' And I told him again that I loved him and he smiled and said he loves me too," she smiled.
"This is good, right? Xander and Faith, Faith and Xander, it's so sweet,"Buffy laughed.
"That's the thing, we're keeping it on a low profile which means no one but me and him and now you and those two, know," Faith said patting Buffy's belly. "It's weird."
"What?"
"Everything. I mean… I thought I'd spend my life in jail being some girl's boyfriend, not having a relationship with Xander and us here having a good time with me not trying to kill you."
"I thought I'd be dead by now and I certainly never imagined us like you said. I never believed that I would be in love with Spike and having his babies or Willow being gay or dating a slayer."
"And at lest you're getting some, Spike won't even touch me anymore. I think I make him sick. I don't blame him, I'm as big as a freaking house."
Faith laughed. "I don't think it's that. I mean, I saw Spike reading a pregnancy book, maybe he read something about sex and he freaked, he's just worried."
"You're right. Thanks Faith, I really needed this."
"Anytime," she cheered.
*****************
Buffy walked back to Wolfram and Hart to talk to Spike but when she found him again with Fred, she got angry. She didn't understand why this was bothering her, it's only Fred, she was like a school girl.
'But what if Spike likes school girls?" she thought, she felt herself getting tense.
"Hi Spike, can we talk?" Buffy asked. Spike looked up and saw Buffy and smiled, she was talking to him again.
"Sure. Fred, I'll be right back," Spike said walking away with Buffy.
"I'm sorry Spike, about freaking out on you. I mean, I was just scared that you didn't find me sexy anymore," she frowned looking down. He lifted her chin to make her face him.
"Buffy I'll always find you sexy. I love you, you could be an eight headdemon with a dragon tail and I'll still love you," he said, this made her feel a lot better.
"Oh Spike," she tried to throw her arms around his neck, but of course her tummy got in the way, they both laughed. "AH!!"
"What's wrong?" he freaked.
"Nothing silly, it's the babies, they're kicking," she smiled.
"Well, they sure are," he smiled too.
"Look. I'll go back to my apartment. I still have a few things there and I'll move them back to the hotel. Dawn and I decided it isn't such a safe place to be. Oh yes, one more thing, Angel said he has something for us later tonight."
"Do we have to? I have a better idea, me and you together and me showing you how hot you make me in that sexy outfit," he said kissing her neck.
"As tempting as that is, I promised Angel, sorry."
"Fine. We'll see what the poof wants," he said.
****** Later with Angel
"Okay, you can open your eyes now." Buffy's eyes opened to see a beautiful apartment. Spike followed them inside. "I know it's not much but I thought you guys might need it, especially after last week's accident. It's a two bedroom apartment, since Spike has a job now, I thought… I'm sure before the babies come you'll be set up. The windows are tinted, so you can see out but the sun can't come in, in case Spike feels like watching the sunrise," Angel smiled. Buffy smiled widely and threw her arms around his neck.
"Angel, this is way too much. I… we can't accept, you've given Dawn and me so much already, I'm still trying to pay you back," he laughed.
"Buffy don't worry about paying me back. You know how I feel about that, alright? Everything's already furnished, all you need is to bring your clothes from your old apartment and a few of Dawn's things and you're set." Suddenly his cell phone rang.
"Got to get this," he walked out the door.
"Spike, isn't this place beautiful?" Buffy said walking around into the kitchen. He pretended to be happy, he didn't like Angel buying them things, especially since it was his family not Angel's. "I have a wicked idea" she smirked wadding over to Spike, putting her hands around his neck.
"Yea? what's that?" he said leaning down to nibble on her ear.
"After Angel leaves, let's break in the new bed, I heard it's tradition for a couple to have sex when they get a place together," she giggled when Spike started biting her neck gently, then the door opened and Angel walked in looking away from the couple.
"Spike, Fred said that if you could, she'd like you come down to W&H, she said it's important."
"Right. I better go do that."
"But I thought… tradition… I can't do it by myself," she pouted.
"I have to go Luv. I'm sorry, as soon as I'm done I'll come back, okay?" he sighed kissing her forehead.
"Fine," she pouted and watched him leave.
******** Lunch With Andrew
"Thanks for coming to lunch with me. I would've asked Spike but he can't go out in the daylight, because of the little flames issue and he was busy anyway."
"I feel honored to join you in your quest for the yummy taste of a larger pizza" he smiled. She laughed.
"Yea, because I'm paying for it."
"That too," they came into the Pizza restaurant.
"Buffy."
Buffy turned around to see Dominic Amadeus standing behind her with a charming smile, which made Buffy melt.
"Dominic, Hi. What are you doing here?"
"Having lunch, I was about to head out when I saw you and thought I had to come and say hello. And this is?" he asked looking at Andrew.
"Andrew, this is Dominic and Dominic, this is my friend Andrew," she introduced them. Both of them smiled at each other.
"Well, I must be going I have a few meetings I must get to. It was great seeing you again and nice to meet you, Andrew."
"Bye Dominic," Buffy waved then he stopped and turned around.
"Don't take this as me being forward but I'm having a party tonight with a few clients and friends and I'd feel honored if you and your friend would like to come."
"I see," she smiled.
"I promise you'll have a great time." He had that look in his eyes you simply couldn't refuse.
"What's the address?" he pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it to Buffy.
"I must go now, I hope to see you both there," he turned and walked out.
"Wow! Can we say wow?" Andrew said.
"What wow? Why wow?"
"That man was totally awesome."
**********
"Spike come on, please, can we go? I mean, we haven't dress up in a while and I want to go out with you. Can we go? Please, please," she begged making her best puppy dog's look.
"Are you sure you want to go? I mean, are you up for it?" he asked. She smiled and nodded. "Alright, we'll go but if you start feeling sick we're leaving."
"Okay, yea!!!" she smiled kissing him and then ran off into the bedroom to start getting ready for the party.
********** The Party
Buffy stood in front of her mirror frowning. She'd tried on about every dress she had. The green one made her look like a watermelon and the red made her look like an apple, the blue made her look like a whale and the purple made her look like a plum. Finally she tried on a nice black dress and seeing her huge belly sticking out, she frowned again.
"This sucks!" Spike walked into the room.
"Looks like an hurricane blew past here."
She turned to face him. "No, a pregnant women did, I've been here looking for a damn dress that fits me but I've had no luck. Every dress makes me look like a bowl of fruit."
"You look nice, Buffy," he said wrapping his arms aroun her belly. "Man, you keep growing and growing, don't you?"
"Jerk!" she snapped. "I don't want to look nice, rainbows are nice. I want to look hot or sexy. I used to be sexy not nice," she pouted placing her hand on her belly. Spike laughed, grabbed Buffy's hand and kissed her knuckles, she smiled.
"You look hot, everyone's gonna be looking at the huge whale with the hot sexy man." He teased "Plus, maybe when we get back, I can show you how much you turn me on," he smiled kissing her lips.
"Promises, promises. We better go or Angel will come to make sure I'm alright," she smiled. Spike rolled his eyes.
******** Dominic's Place
"Wow! This place is huge," Buffy said her arms locked through Spike's.
"Spike, I bet this place has a million rooms and bathrooms, it's like a big hotel."
"Yea, it's nice," as soon as they entered they spotted Faith, Xander, Willow and Kennedy dancing. Buffy laughed when she saw Andrew and Dawn trying to dance, she guessed neither of them knew how to lead the other and finally they saw Angel, Wesley and Fred standing together. They walked over to them.
"Buffy, you look wonderful," Welsey smiled.
"Yes, Buffy you look beautiful," Angel smiled also.
"Fred, you're looking smashing," Spike complimented. Fred was wearing a black dress too, very similar to Buffy's. This made her upset, she looked nice while Fred looked smashing.
"Buffy?"
Buffy turned around and saw Dominic walking towards her looking very hot in his custom-tailored suit. "I have to say you look astonishing tonight," He said, bringing the back of her hand to his lips and kissing it. She blushed. Spike didn't like the guy and Angel wasn't too fond of him either.
"You look very handsome too."
"Can I steal you away from your friends for a dance?" he asked keeping her hand between his the whole time.
"Of course," he smiled and lead her to the dance floor when a slow song started playing.
****
"Fred, would you like dance?" Spike asked offering her his hand. She blushed and accepted and they made their way near the other couple.
"Thanks for the dance, Dominic," Buffy sighed as she saw Fred and Spike dancing together, laughing and having a good time and she began to feel upset. "But I'm not feeling so good," she said looking at Spike and Dominic could see this was troubling her.
"I hope we can have lunch sometime."
"Sure," she walked over towards Spike and tapped him on the shoulder. He and
Fred stopped dancing.
"I don't feel good. I want to go home, I'll be in the car," she simply said walking off towards the doors.
"I guess that means I'm leaving," Fred nodded. "I'll see you in the morning."
"Bye Spike," she waved after him.
************
After the quiet car ride home, Spike pulled into the parking lot. Buffy got out of the car before he had a chance to open her door. She walked into the apartment.
"Buffy, what's the hell is wrong with you?" Spike asked closing the door behind him. Buffy glared coldly at him, with her hands on her hips.
"What's wrong with me? I'll tell you what's wrong with me: Oh Fred, Luv, pet, duck, you're looking smashing and Buffy, you look nice. We were wearing almost the same dress but you liked it better on her because she isn't huge and I saw your hand on her ass."
"You're mad because I said she looked smashing. Smashing means the same as nice, they're just different words."
"Well, Angel and Wesley told me I looked beautiful, much better than what you said and that hurt my feelings. You don't think I'm sexy anymore. Jeez Spike, am I really that ugly? We haven't had sex in ages. Not that long ago, you couldn't get enough of me, you had sex with me in the alley of the Double Meat or even behind that tree that was outside my house and now you don't want me anymore. So go to Fred, I don't care!" she cried.
"Luv…"
"I'm going to slept ALONE!"
"Where will I sleep?"
"The couch looks fine," Buffy frowned and went into the room, closing the door and locking it, leaving Spike alone in the living room trying to figure out what he had done wrong and how in hell was he going to sleep on the small love seat.
"Bloody Hell!"
********
Spike laid on the couch. It was so small, his feet where sticking out of it and the blanket barely covered him. He shifted around for a while and finally he fall asleep. He felt someone watching him, running their warm hands through his hair. He opened his eyes and saw Buffy, she was crying.
"Buffy, what's wrong?" he asked sitting up and pulling her with him on the sofa. "Are you okay? Do you need something, a doctor, 911? Answer me."
"I don't want to fight, I don't want you out of our lives. I got scared when I didn't feel you with me, I thought you'd left me," she cried.
Spike pulled her into his arms and ran his hands down her back. "Hey, Shh. It's alright. I'm here, it's okay. Not going anywhere Luv, promise. One little fight doesn't mean I'm gonna leave you. Couples fight all the time and no one leaves, ok?"
"I like the fact that we're a couple and I guess this is our first fight then," she said. She pulled away and stood up offering her hand out to him, which he promptly took and she lead him back to their bedroom.

******** Lunch With Andrew
"Thanks for coming to lunch with me. I would've asked Spike but he can't go out in the daylight, because of the little flames issue and he was busy anyway."
"I feel honored to join you in your quest for the yummy taste of a larger pizza" he smiled. She laughed.
"Yea, because I'm paying for it."
"That too," they came into the Pizza restaurant.
"Buffy."
Buffy turned around to see Dominic Amadeus standing behind her with a charming smile, which made Buffy melt.
"Dominic, Hi. What are you doing here?"
"Having lunch, I was about to head out when I saw you and thought I had to come and say hello. And this is?" he asked looking at Andrew.
"Andrew, this is Dominic and Dominic, this is my friend Andrew," she introduced them. Both of them smiled at each other.
"Well, I must be going I have a few meetings I must get to. It was great seeing you again and nice to meet you, Andrew."
"Bye Dominic," Buffy waved then he stopped and turned around.
"Don't take this as me being forward but I'm having a party tonight with a few clients and friends and I'd feel honored if you and your friend would like to come."
"I see," she smiled.
"I promise you'll have a great time." He had that look in his eyes you simply couldn't refuse.
"What's the address?" he pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it to Buffy.
"I must go now, I hope to see you both there," he turned and walked out.
"Wow! Can we say wow?" Andrew said.
"What wow? Why wow?"
"That man was totally awesome."
**********
"Spike come on, please, can we go? I mean, we haven't dress up in a while and I want to go out with you. Can we go? Please, please," she begged making her best puppy dog's look.
"Are you sure you want to go? I mean, are you up for it?" he asked. She smiled and nodded. "Alright, we'll go but if you start feeling sick we're leaving."
"Okay, yea!!!" she smiled kissing him and then ran off into the bedroom to start getting ready for the party.
********** The Party
Buffy stood in front of her mirror frowning. She'd tried on about every dress she had. The green one made her look like a watermelon and the red made her look like an apple, the blue made her look like a whale and the purple made her look like a plum. Finally she tried on a nice black dress and seeing her huge belly sticking out, she frowned again.
"This sucks!" Spike walked into the room.
"Looks like an hurricane blew past here."
She turned to face him. "No, a pregnant women did, I've been here looking for a damn dress that fits me but I've had no luck. Every dress makes me look like a bowl of fruit."
"You look nice, Buffy," he said wrapping his arms aroun her belly. "Man, you keep growing and growing, don't you?"
"Jerk!" she snapped. "I don't want to look nice, rainbows are nice. I want to look hot or sexy. I used to be sexy not nice," she pouted placing her hand on her belly. Spike laughed, grabbed Buffy's hand and kissed her knuckles, she smiled.
"You look hot, everyone's gonna be looking at the huge whale with the hot sexy man." He teased "Plus, maybe when we get back, I can show you how much you turn me on," he smiled kissing her lips.
"Promises, promises. We better go or Angel will come to make sure I'm alright," she smiled. Spike rolled his eyes.
******** Dominic's Place
"Wow! This place is huge," Buffy said her arms locked through Spike's.
"Spike, I bet this place has a million rooms and bathrooms, it's like a big hotel."
"Yea, it's nice," as soon as they entered they spotted Faith, Xander, Willow and Kennedy dancing. Buffy laughed when she saw Andrew and Dawn trying to dance, she guessed neither of them knew how to lead the other and finally they saw Angel, Wesley and Fred standing together. They walked over to them.
"Buffy, you look wonderful," Welsey smiled.
"Yes, Buffy you look beautiful," Angel smiled also.
"Fred, you're looking smashing," Spike complimented. Fred was wearing a black dress too, very similar to Buffy's. This made her upset, she looked nice while Fred looked smashing.
"Buffy?"
Buffy turned around and saw Dominic walking towards her looking very hot in his custom-tailored suit. "I have to say you look astonishing tonight," He said, bringing the back of her hand to his lips and kissing it. She blushed. Spike didn't like the guy and Angel wasn't too fond of him either.
"You look very handsome too."
"Can I steal you away from your friends for a dance?" he asked keeping her hand between his the whole time.
"Of course," he smiled and lead her to the dance floor when a slow song started playing.
****
"Fred, would you like dance?" Spike asked offering her his hand. She blushed and accepted and they made their way near the other couple.
"Thanks for the dance, Dominic," Buffy sighed as she saw Fred and Spike dancing together, laughing and having a good time and she began to feel upset. "But I'm not feeling so good," she said looking at Spike and Dominic could see this was troubling her.
"I hope we can have lunch sometime."
"Sure," she walked over towards Spike and tapped him on the shoulder. He and
Fred stopped dancing.
"I don't feel good. I want to go home, I'll be in the car," she simply said walking off towards the doors.
"I guess that means I'm leaving," Fred nodded. "I'll see you in the morning."
"Bye Spike," she waved after him.
************
After the quiet car ride home, Spike pulled into the parking lot. Buffy got out of the car before he had a chance to open her door. She walked into the apartment.
"Buffy, what's the hell is wrong with you?" Spike asked closing the door behind him. Buffy glared coldly at him, with her hands on her hips.
"What's wrong with me? I'll tell you what's wrong with me: Oh Fred, Luv, pet, duck, you're looking smashing and Buffy, you look nice. We were wearing almost the same dress but you liked it better on her because she isn't huge and I saw your hand on her ass."
"You're mad because I said she looked smashing. Smashing means the same as nice, they're just different words."
"Well, Angel and Wesley told me I looked beautiful, much better than what you said and that hurt my feelings. You don't think I'm sexy anymore. Jeez Spike, am I really that ugly? We haven't had sex in ages. Not that long ago, you couldn't get enough of me, you had sex with me in the alley of the Double Meat or even behind that tree that was outside my house and now you don't want me anymore. So go to Fred, I don't care!" she cried.
"Luv…"
"I'm going to slept ALONE!"
"Where will I sleep?"
"The couch looks fine," Buffy frowned and went into the room, closing the door and locking it, leaving Spike alone in the living room trying to figure out what he had done wrong and how in hell was he going to sleep on the small love seat.
"Bloody Hell!"
********
Spike laid on the couch. It was so small, his feet where sticking out of it and the blanket barely covered him. He shifted around for a while and finally he fall asleep. He felt someone watching him, running their warm hands through his hair. He opened his eyes and saw Buffy, she was crying.
"Buffy, what's wrong?" he asked sitting up and pulling her with him on the sofa. "Are you okay? Do you need something, a doctor, 911? Answer me."
"I don't want to fight, I don't want you out of our lives. I got scared when I didn't feel you with me, I thought you'd left me," she cried.
Spike pulled her into his arms and ran his hands down her back. "Hey, Shh. It's alright. I'm here, it's okay. Not going anywhere Luv, promise. One little fight doesn't mean I'm gonna leave you. Couples fight all the time and no one leaves, ok?"
"I like the fact that we're a couple and I guess this is our first fight then," she said. She pulled away and stood up offering her hand out to him, which he promptly took and she lead him back to their bedroom.
