The whole house was quiet and dark. It was eerie and creepy. Dawn walked
quietly up the front steps. She was late getting home because RJ wanted to
give her a present.
No people, not that kind of present.
She opened the door carefully. **I can't believe everyone forgot my freaking birthday! **
"SURPRISE!" echoed a loud ringing of all Dawn's friends and family. The outburst made Dawn fall backwards. **THUMP**
"Oh, Dawn honey, are you hurt?" Joyce helped her paralyzed daughter up.
"Oh my gosh, I thought you all forgot! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I love you all."
"Present-time!" Anya shouted from behind her. "It's time to open presents and find out what people gave you, and who spent the most money on you."
"Anya's been waiting for this since we told her about the party." Willow said.
"Yes, quite annoying actually." Giles said. "Well, might as well see what you got."
Dawn squealed, clapped her hands, and jumped up and down all the way to the couch.
"Wait, where's Buffy and Spike?"
"Right here, Niblet." They walked off the last step of the stairs and sat down next to Dawn still hand-in-hand.
"Okay, good we're all here now open the presents already!" Anya handed Dawn a small package.
She was about to open it when she said, "You know, I really like this."
"Like what Dawnie?" Tara said.
"Being together, all of us. Not fighting and just together."
"Okay now that we have that out of the way open the presents!" Anya almost shouted.
*~~~***~~~***~~~~*
15 min. later..
"So that's it? A make-up kit, a new Backstreet Boys jacket, the book "Holes", and the entire first season of Friends? No more presents?" Dawn looked around.
"Nope there's one more thing Niblet." Spike took out a medium size package out from behind a large couch cushion. "I wanted to forgot about this but I knew you'd like it."
Dawn opened the present and burst out laughing. "Where did you find this?" Dawn said as she wiped away the happy tears streaming down her slim face.
She held up a photograph of a cute little kitten (Spike) in a little doll tuxedo looking straight at the camera. It was framed with other little golden kittens around it.
"Well, I remembered that you took a picture of me, which I bloody hated, then after I turned back I got the camera to burn the film but I knew you loved the picture. So I bought the frame and got the picture developed."
Dawn hugged Spike so tight that if he were living, he would have died. After she let go Buffy spoke up.
"I have great news everyone! Spike and I are getting married and we're pregnant."
The room was deadly silent except for Joyce smiling and mumbling 'finally' under her breath.
"Spike's pregnant?" Anya said.
"NO! I'm pregnant with Spike's baby."
"Oh, well I'm happy for you. You're boyfriend actually proposed." Anya got up and hugged Buffy awkwardly.
"Oh Buffy, I'm happy for you too." Dawn hugged Buffy too.
"WHAT?" Xander stood, "I thought vampire's couldn't produce babies! And you're getting married! When? How long have you keep this from us this time?" All the talking made Xander faint right on the spot. **BAM**
"He took that better than I thought he would." Buffy sighed.
"I-I'm h-happy for y-y-you two. And I hope you're h-happy." Tara joined the hug.
"Willow? You're happy for us right. I know this probably is a shocked you know- Spike just asked me to mar-"
"You're gonna have a baby!" Willow screamed. "I'm going to be an aunt!" she ran over to hug Buffy than Spike making him fall backwards. "Oh my gosh! You have to get a new apartment and a baby's room. And there has to be pink fuzzy bunnies.."
"Why pink bunnies, we don't want to paralyze the poor little thing." Anya said.
"Fine then lime green fuzzy turtles. And oh, oh cute little feetie pajamas! And if she's a girl you should call her Emma, no Lizzie, no wait RAVEN! And she'll have boyfriends, and became a famous singer with tons of groupies. Oh and then she'll have to go through hell of high school."
"Wait, wait, wait, 1) Calm down red 2) How do know if he's not a boy and 3) breathe before you end up like the whelp." Spike said.
"Giles? How do you feel?" Buffy asked.
"I have to check something in my books excuse me. Happy Birthday Dawn." He looked at the floor. "Ms. Summers."
"Mr. Giles." Joyce answered. They still weren't comfortable around each other after the candy incident.
Giles walked out the door leaving Buffy stunned at his reaction.
