Chapter Title: Surprise
Summary: Tragedy strikes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hades thrust down his golden goblet. "I said no one was to go down there!" he yelled.
The guard bowed low. "It was only Hermes. It is common for him to make quick round of such places twice a day. It was on your order's, sir."
Hades grinned wryly. "I guess then I should have a quick look myself." He hurried down the winding corridors of the prisons until he hit a certain cell. He sent his guards away and opened the cell.
He saw no one inside.
Hades stepped in further to be tackled down by two bodies. "Get off of me! Guards!" Buffy and Spike pinned him to the ground.
Zeus slapped Hades' hand, with a brilliant green light emanating from it.
Hades shook his head and took a step back. "Damnit!" he shouted, realizing he was in his own body. Hades had immense hate show through his eyes before running out of the room and fading out.
Spike helped up Zeus. "You alright da'?"
Zeus stood up carefully. "The both of you need to get home."
"Why?" asked Buffy.
"When he's that mad, he usually seeks out horrible vengeance."
"Oh, god, Dawn!" said Buffy. "We need to go now!"
Zeus nodded. "Understandable. Just be sure to come visit during less pressing matters." They all grinned. "Now close your eyes."
When Buffy opened her eyes, both her and Spike were outside of their house. She ran to the door and flung it open. "Buffy!" exclaimed Giles. "You're back."
"Did anything bad happen?" she demanded.
"Pardon?" asked Xander.
Spike sighed. "She means did any funky mojo happen while we were gone?"
Willow shook her head. "Just Hermes, and might I add that he's very short."
"Nothing else?" asked Buffy. "Are you sure?"
Tara looked uneasily at Xander, he just shook his head, signaling for them both to keep quiet. That wasn't a matter to discuss in front of everyone. Not yet at least.
Fred added, "Well, they have been gone for nearly a month. So understandably she'd be a little paranoid."
"Right here," said Buffy raising her hand. "And wow, we've been gone a month!" Fred nodded. "Are you completely positive nothing happened?"
Xander stood up and put his arm around her. "Come on, Buffster! Nothing but the occasional vamp and goo demon. So go change out of that dress and see Dawn. She's downstairs."

Dawn blocked the counter attack that Connor threw at her. He had been teaching her simple self-defense moves and was becoming rather fluent with it. When Connor looked over to his left, she did a hard jab to the left, which he caught without looking. He nodded to where was looking and Dawn saw Buffy.
"You're home!" Dawn ran up to stairs to hug her sister and then Spike who was to her left. "It's about time. So what was it like?"
"Lots of clouds, very picturesque," said Buffy. "And the cells aren't half bad."
Spike walked around the basement, looking over all the weapons. He stopped when he reached the laundry room. "What happened?"
Dawn's head snapped over. "'Scuse me?"
"What did you guys do in here?" demanded Spike.
Dawn moved over to put herself firmly between Connor, and Spike and Buffy. "While you were gone. We kind of, sort of, accidentallyhadsex," she rushed out at the end.
"What?" asked Buffy blinking.
"That's not it either." She winced and added. "I'm pregnant."
"WHAT?" yelled Buffy. Spike looked as if her were going to rip Connor in two. "Wh-Who all knows?"
"Xander, and Tara, and well, Deanna. And now you guys!" said Dawn, her sheepish grin faltering.
The Slayer shook her head, trying to form a thought. "How far along. . ."
"About a month." Dawn looked at Connor, who looked at her reassuringly. "We've talked about it. . .and we've agreed to keep it."
"You bloody well better not be having anymore sex!" yelled Spike.
She winced. "Well, no. We're not even all that sure how it happened."
Spike appeared as if he were breathing in to yell some more, then he stopped. "You don't know how it happened?"
"Not really."
There was a silence. "I need to sit down," muttered Buffy, taking her own advise. Spike leaned against a wall with an angry face. The odd thing was, he seemed angry at something other than Connor.
Suddenly, a pink mist flew up. A voluptuous, blonde woman in a risqué pink dress appeared. She said to Dawn and Connor in a heavy accent of some sort. "Sorry. Zeus's orders." She drew back her hand as a red bolt went straight for Dawn. She flinched and Connor moved her out of the way, but it never hit her. There was a white field over the both of them.
"You bloody bint," muttered Spike, still leaning against the wall, causing the field to go away. In a flash, he picked up a sword and had it to her throat. "You bloody well better tell me what you did Aphrodite."
"Like I said," she said switching to the gods language, "following your pop's orders."
He pressed the blade harder against her neck. He also followed her example in using the gods language. "His orders were for you to kill Dawn?"
Aphrodite smirked. "Actually, the orders were for them to have sex." She paused for a moment, "I'm sure this won't help, but usually when I invoke that spell, there's just raw lust. Those two," she nodded towards the teens, "had real caring and love with them. I mean, he did this thing with her-"
"Do me a favor and never finish that sentence," interrupted Spike. He did not want to know about his Nibblet's sexual experiences. "Why don't you go up and ask Zeus now what you're supposed to do considering Dawn." He took the blade off. "And if you do come back to kill Dawn, I will rip your head off."
"That's just it. I wasn't sent to kill Dawn. I was sent to take the baby." She disappeared in a pink mist.
Connor asked anxiously, "What'd you just say?"
Spike turned around. "She wasn't trying to kill you. She was-"
"Going for the baby," finished Dawn. She protectively, put her hands over her stomach. "Why?"
"Because it's what you all care about the most right now." Hades threw Spike across the room and drew a knife and thrusted it at Dawn. Connor tackled her down, and got the blade in his arm. Buffy stood up and ran towards Hades. He faded out and then appeared right next to Dawn, putting the blade into her belly.
"NO!" yelled Buffy.
"It's not nice to make me mad," said Hades before throwing a knife in the direction of Buffy's heart. There was no chance and she had no time to grab it.
As Hades faded out, the blade penetrated a bluish circle, and never hit Buffy's chest. "What's going on with that?" she asked herself, but there was no time to experiment.
"She needs an ambulance!" exclaimed Connor, checking her pulse. Spike picked Dawn up and went up the stairs to wait in the living room while Buffy, shakily, took out her cell phone and called 911.
