It had been a couple of days, since Buffy and the gang had returned. Spike was getting antsy about the surprise that Buffy had mentioned, but hadn't told him about or even given to him. His slayer was keeping something from him and he wanted, no needed to know what it was. It was killing him not to know.
Buffy had made an appointment with one of the doctors that Wolfram and Hart kept on the payroll. She had told him that it was only for a check- up, and that is where she'd been since nine this morning. Willow had taken her, and they should be back by now.
He had decided that as soon as they got back that he'd ask her about the surprise. He was just wondering when in the bleeding hell they would return.
Buffy and Willow had just pulled up in front of the hotel. Having ridden in silence on the way back, Willow turns to Buffy as she opens her door. Not being able to keep her questions back any longer. "So, you won't know for another coupla days if you are or not?" Buffy had told her as they left the building that the doctor hadn't been able to confirm until the tests had gotten back from the labs.
Buffy looks over to her best friend and smiles, slightly. "Nope, they said for me to call them in a coupla days, and they'd tell me what was the up."
Spike had heard them pull up in front of the hotel, and had rushed out to greet his mate and the witch. He opens up the passenger side of the car, and sticks his head inside the car. "Hey, beautiful."
Buffy looks over her shoulder at him, smiling as brightly as she can manage, without breaking her face. "Hey."
Spike had heard her say something about tests, and didn't like the sound of that at all. It had sent a wave of fear through his body, making him think of her mother. He wondered if the cancer that had taken Joyce out of the world could be hereditary. He hoped and prayed that it wasn't, if Buffy died again he'd die himself.
Stilling himself, he asks the question that could kill him. "What's this about you having to check back on some tests in a few days, Ducks?"
Buffy smiles wickedly back at him, making him even more nervous than he already is. "Well, I'll tell you if you'd get out of my way and let me get out of the car." She finally says, pushing him playfully on the chest, to make him move out of the door.
Backing out of the door, he stands straight, and offers his hand to help her out of the compact car. She takes the offered hand and steps out of the car
Grasping her hand a little tighter, as she straitens up, he asks, "What is this all about, Buffy?"
Walking passed the couple, Willow smiles and chuckles as she looks at Spike. "You are sooo gonna love this." She says, as she makes her way up the walk to the front door of The Hyperion.
Fingering the buttons of the blue shirt that Spike is wearing, Buffy stares into his deep blue eyes for a few moments. "Princess?" He asks in a whisper, and lifts his hand to stroke it over soft, honey colored hair.
She had shifted her gaze from his when he raised his hand to her hair. Now she looks back up to those eyes that hold so much concern for her. She smiles, and takes a deep breath. "God this so much harder than I thought it would be." She whispers, as she still looks in his eyes.
"Whats'at, Luv?"
"Well I wasn't gonna tell you, until I knew for sure. It's about that surprise I told you about. I just didn't want to get your hopes up, and it not be true. I didn't want to break your heart, again."
Wrapping his arms around her in a powerful hug that would crush most other women, he places a kiss on top of her head, and sighs. "You don't have to tell me, Luv. Not if you don't want to. I would like to know soon though." He resigns, and hugs her to him a little closer.
"That's not it all. I do want to tell you. I've been wanting to tell you since I found out, but I couldn't do it. I just wanted to be totally and completely sure."
"Tell whenever you want, Luv. As long as you're alright and don't have some strange incurable disease. I don't care."
Working her arms around his waist, because he had been holding her so tightly that she couldn't move her arms, she hugs him to her, and lays her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat for a moment. She sighs and smiles against him, "How do you feel about children?" She asks not giving him a chance to answer she explains, "Because in about eight months you just might be a daddy."
Feeling Spike stiffen, she gets a little nervous, thinking that he doesn't want the child she may be carrying. "Spike?" She says looking up to his face. Looking at him she thinks that he may be in shock.
Shocked would be an understatement. He would've hit the ground if Buffy's arms hadn't still been around him. He definitely hadn't been expecting that news. Shaking his head to clear it. "Uh, could you repeat that, Pet? I don't think I heard you right." He says rubbing his ear to make sure there isn't something in it that made him hear her say that she is pregnant.
Moving from within the comfort of his arms, she looks at him. "I said that I think I may be pregnant, Spike. You aren't happy about it, are you? I figured. . ." Not getting to finish her sentence, because apparently Spike thought she needed to fly. He had grabbed her and started spinning her around. Having only a few options, she opts for screaming his name and beating on his shoulders, as a way to get him to put her down. "SPIIIIIKE! Put me down, you crazy man." She shouts playfully.
Putting her back down on her feet he hugs her to him. "Sorry, Luv, but you say I might be a father and you don't expect me to get excited over it."
Placing her hands on her hips, and smiling at him, "Well I didn't expect to take a round trip flight of the world, and all. I did hope that you'd be happy about it, though." She explains, as she steps back up to him.
"Bloody hell, Buffy. Luv, you've just given me something I never thought would be possible. I'm more than happy, I don't know if there is a word that describes how I'm feelin' at the moment. I do know that I want to shout it to everyone in the world, and from every rooftop I've ever seen." He says, looking down and smirking at her, as he grabs her for a kiss.
Fighting him off. Buffy backs away from him, " Please don't. I mean I don't even know if it's true or not. It's just a feeling I have and one of those home pregnancy tests that says I might be. We'll know by Friday, though."
"I can't wait for Friday then, Luv." He says as he takes her hand, leads her up the steps, and into the hotel.
