Chapter 19: Going Home

Disclaimer: Check previous chapters.

After a couple of days, Buffy and Spike decided they were ready to go home and get back to the routine of their life. They had one last evening out with Randy, which was the night before they left for home; saying their good byes and thanked him for having them in his hotel for their honeymoon. As they packed their bags, Buffy called Willow to let her know that they were leaving that night to come home.

"Hello, Summers Residence."

"Hey Willow."

"Hey Buf! What's up?"

"I just called to let you know that we are going to be heading back to Sunnydale as soon as the sun goes down."

"Really! We can't wait to see you guys."

"We can't wait to get home to see you guys too, we should be home around ten o'clock tonight."

"Ok, have a safe drive home."

"We will, bye."

"Ok, bye," Willow said happily, hanging up the phone. Giles walked into the living room with her.

"Was that Buffy?"

"Yes, she and Spike are coming home tonight."

"Oh, how wonderful. I hope they had a delightful honeymoon."

"According to Buffy, they did," Willow said with a smile. Giles lowered his eyes, removed his glasses and began wiping them with his handkerchief.

Around eight o'clock, Buffy and Spike had all of their luggage packed and ready to be picked up by the bellboy. When he arrived at the door of the suite the bellboy gathered their luggage and carried it to the elevator, while Spike closed the door behind them. The parking attendant had already been called to bring the car around and all that was left to be done was to turn in their room key at the front desk. Buffy, Spike and the bellboy rode the elevator to the lobby and when it arrived there, Spike walked over to the front desk and handed the key to the clerk.

"Thank you sir, everything has been taken care of by Mr. Mason, just sign here to show that you returned the key," the clerk said. Spike then signed the book.

"Thank you for staying with us Mr. and Mrs. Summers, please come again."

"Thank you, we will." Spike replied as he and Buffy began walking towards the door.

The bellboy walked with them to the car, setting the luggage down long enough to put some of it in the back of the vehicle, with the parking attendant's help. Both of the car doors were open waiting for the couple to climb in, Spike helped his pregnant wife into the vehicle, closing the door behind her. When the bellboy and parking attendant finally closed the back of the SUV, he gave each of them a twenty dollar tip, before he climbed into the vehicle himself.

"Here you go gents, thanks for everything," he said, handing each of them a bill.

"Thank you sir," the men said in unison.

With that, Spike climbed in the SUV with the parking attendant closing the door after him.

"Thanks again, mate."

"No problem sir, have a safe trip."

"Thanks, we will."

The keys were already in the ignition, Spike started the SUV and drove off, Buffy settled in for the long ride home.

Back at the house on Revello Drive, Willow, Dawn and Tara were preparing for a Welcome Home party for the newlyweds.

"They are going to be so surprised, when they get home," Dawn said excitedly.

"Yes, they will," Tara replied.

"I can't wait to see the look on their faces," Willow said.

*************

"Well luv, did you enjoy our honeymoon?"

"Yes honey, I did. We didn't leave our room much, but it was still very enjoyable."

"Maybe we can go away like that again after the baby's birth." Spike said happily.

"That would be nice."

"Since you mentioned the baby, we haven't thought of any names yet."

"Well kitten, did you have any particular names in mind?"

"No. You?"

"No," Spike replied.

"My mum's name was Anne, which is your middle name, we could use it."

"I was thinking about something unique."

"Anyway, we don't know if it's a girl," Buffy argued.

"Trust me luv, it's a girl."

"How can you be so sure about that?"

""I just know."

"You're going to feel silly if it's a boy."

"But it's not. You'll see."

"Ok."

"Why don't we call her, Elizabeth Anne Summers." Spike suggested.

"I was hoping for a "B" name."

"Did you want to name the baby after you?"

"Heavens no, let's not do that."

"Well, I want to have a boy's name ready also, just in case."

"Ok pet, do what you want, but I'm telling you it's a girl."

"If it is a boy, I would like to name him, William Alexander Summers. How does that strike you?"

"I like it. Only one thing luv, I don't have a middle name, where did you get Alexander from?"

"Xander, his name is Alexander."

"Bloody Hell! That wanker! We are not calling any son of mine, Xander."

"We don't have to call him Xander."

"Damn right!"

"Spike, the name Alexander fits. It's the perfect middle name and that's the name I'm sticking with," Buffy said stubbornly.

"What would YOU want to name our son, William Spike Summers?"

"Now your gettin it."

"I don't think so," Buffy said in a huff.

"Buffy, sweetheart don't get angry, luv. I was only teasing. We will pick out the perfect name for a girl and a boy together, ok?"

"Ok." Buffy said as she yawned, resting her hand on her belly.

The baby shifted under her palm. "Settle down baby, mommy is tired," she said to her unborn child.

Spike reached over and laid his hand on her belly and spoke to the baby, "Settle down lil bit and let your mum sleep."

The baby immediately calmed down, allowing Buffy to drift off to sleep. Spike turned the radio on to a rock and roll station, making sure he kept the volume down so he wouldn't wake her.

**********

Buffy had awakened to the sound of Spike's voice, after he pulled into their driveway.

"Buffy, sweetheart wake up, we're home."

"Hmm . . .uh . . . we're home?" Buffy asked sleepily, rubbing her eyes.

"Yes honey, we're home."

Spike helped Buffy out of the SUV, and guided her towards the house.

"Come on luv, I'll get you settled in first, then I'll come back for the luggage," Spike said as he led her up the steps.

"Ok."

"Watch your step, luv."

Spike put the key in the lock and opened the door, ushering his wife into the darkened house. He reached for the light switch to turn the lights on and then they came on suddenly, then everyone jumped out at them, giving the couple a start.

"SURPRISE!"

"Bloody Hell! What's going on?"

"It is a welcome home party for you guys," Dawn said as she walked up and hugged her sister and brother-in-law.

"Guys you shouldn't have," Buffy said to the small crowd.

Giles, Willow, Tara, Anya and Xander all walked over to where the couple stood and hugged them.

"Yes we did because we love you," Willow said.

Buffy walked over to the couch, with Spike following her and helped her sit down, everyone followed them and Dawn sat down next to her.

"Spike honey, could you get me something to drink, please?"

"Right away, luv."

"How was LA?" Xander asked cheerfully.

"It was fine, same old LA."

"Well, the gym of my old high school had been rebuilt and I went to see Angel, Cordelia and his son Connor."

"CONNOR?!" everyone replied except Dawn, with a shocked look on their faces.

Spike came back with some punch and handed it to Buffy as she told the scoobies about her visit with Angel and Cordy.

"Thank you, sweetheart."

"Your welcome, ducks."

Afterwards he went back in to the kitchen to get himself some blood from the refrigerator, warmed it and poured it into a mug, then rejoined the group. By the time he got back in the living room, he heard Willow ask Buffy how is it possible for Angel to still have his soul after he and Darla conceived Connor.

"I don't know, but he did. Darla staked herself to give birth to Connor."

Everyone glared at Buffy when she told them that, and about how shocked Cordy and Angel were when they saw her, and about Spike being the baby's father. Then the subject changed to how beautiful the hotel was and about Randy, Spike's friend and how nice he was. Spike just sat back in a chair and listened to her and the others talk.

"So how was the sex? I mean was it better being in a different place? I know that vampires can go a long time, did you get lots of orgasms, like Xander gives me?" Anya asked.

Everyone stopped to glare at Anya in disbelief for asking such personal questions.

"An! That's personal. That is between Buffy and Spike, we talked about this." Xander scolded her.

"I'm sorry Buf."

"That's ok."

Everyone had learned to overlook some of the things that came out of Anya's mouth, because they know that she seems to lack maturity. The party ended an hour later, Xander and Anya went home and Tara decided to stay the night with Willow. Spike had gone out to the SUV to bring the luggage into the house, Giles helped him bring the luggage in and left it in the living room. Dawn and the witches cleaned up the kitchen and living room, while Buffy went up to take a shower and climb into bed, to wait for her husband to join her.

"Slayer, what should I do with the luggage?" Spike shouted.

"Leave it where it is, I'll take care of it in the morning."

"Alright."

When Spike did finally join his wife in the bedroom, he saw her stretched out on the bed wearing a knee length maternity night gown, made of satin. Her golden hair was sprawled out on her pillow, it looked like a golden halo over her head. Spike was in awe at how beautiful she was lying there and just stood there a minute to take in the sight before him. She noticed him standing there, and then turned on her side, propped herself up on one elbow and wagged one finger at him summoning him to join her, with a sexy smile on her face.

"Hi lover, can you and your friend come out and play?" she said in a husky voice.

Spike's immediate reaction was an erection, when Buffy saw the bulge in his pants, she struck a sexy pose for him. He spun around to close and lock the bedroom door behind him and quickly stripped off his clothes, throwing them to the floor.

"Mmmm . . . looks like someone DOES want to play," Buffy said, her voice heavy with lust.

"Oh baby, you are so damn sexy," Spike said as he climbed onto the bed, pressing himself against her.

"And don't you forget it."

They kissed passionately, Buffy slid her hands over Spike's naked body and he lifted her gown to fondle her ample breast and then stopped long enough to pull the garment from her body dropping it to the floor on top of his clothes.

***********

"I'm tired, I'm going to bed. Goodnight," Dawn said to the witches as she walked up the steps.

"Goodnight, Dawn," they both replied in unison.

But when she approached Buffy and Spike's room all she could hear was a bunch of loud moans and groans, then heard Buffy saying "Oh Spike, Oh baby" and then she heard more grunts and moans, then Spike saying "make it tight baby." She then sighed, rolled her eyes and kept walking to her room.

"Oh Geez, their at it again. It's the earplugs for me tonight." Dawn commented as she walked into her room.

Before Dawn could close her door completely, she heard them both let out a scream. She immediately put her earplugs in her ears, changed her clothes and went straight to bed and tried to forget what she just heard.
