Chapter 4 --Wedding Bells-- (Warning!!! Extreme Fluffiness coming up!!!)

Buffy sat strait up in bed and gasped. She looked around for the movement she felt then looked down at her almost fully formed belly. It was October 27th and it seamed she was growing by the minute. Then she felt in again and smiled. She put her hand on her stomach and felt a little movement.

"Giles" She said turning to the sleeping man next to her. Giles had moved in with Buffy almost immediately. "Giles wake up" She said shaking his shoulder.

"What's wrong" He said sleepily as he turned over to her.

"Giles" Buffy said smiling at him "Feel" She took his hand and put it on her belly. It jiggled and squirmed and he laughed.

"Wow" He said looking up at her and smiling.

"I know" Buffy said sighing at his touch. It was five days before their wedding, because as Xander pointed out in his oh so Xander way "You don't want the poor kid to be a bastard" She was still a little shell shocked, she was getting married and having a baby. Two of the top 10 things on Buffy's 'never going to get to do' list.

"Five days" Giles said reading her mind.

"I know" Buffy said as she slid down so she was lying next to him. "I'm so excited"

"You better get some sleep" Giles said smiling at her "You're going to be seeing your doctor tomorrow"

"Yeah I know" Buffy said as she closed her eyes.

"Good night Love" Giles said rapping his arms around her.

"Good night" Buffy said laying her head on his shoulder.

"Buffy get down here" Giles called from the landing by the front door.

"I'm coming" Buffy said as she waddled down the stairs. He chuckled, still not use to seeing her waddle.

"I don't see what's so funny" Buffy said "I could still kick your butt you know"

"I know" He said very unconvincingly. "Come on Dr. Pryce is waiting for us at her office."

"How come she's coming all this was for me?" Buffy asked as they climbed into the car. She flipped through the radio stations till she found one she liked.

"Because she likes you?" Giles said with a smile on his face. Buffy just smiled and turned to look out the window. They drove in silence, Buffy thinking about the wedding and Giles thinking about how close November 6th was. He still hadn't told her what had been in that letter. And he wouldn't need to, if he had anything to say about it. They pulled into a little office building and Giles helped Buffy out of the car.

He greeted the receptionist as they walked into the building and smiled at her.

"The doctor will be right out" She said and went back to her work.

The doors opened and a tall brunet woman a little older then Buffy came out with a big smile on her face.

"It's so good to see you Buffy" She said smiling at her as they hugged. She smiled at Giles.

"So how have you been?" Buffy said as she was lead into the examining room.

"Oh fine, fine" She said putting her hand to her stomach "Same as you it would seem"

"Oh really, that's great Fred" Buffy grinned at her "Is Wesley excited?"

"Oh my yes" She said as Buffy got up on the table "He's pulled out all of Sara's old stuff and is setting up for the nursery"

"Boy or girl?" Giles asked as Fred worked setting up the ultrasound.

"We don't know yet" She said smiling at them "Though to hear Wes tell it it's a boy and that's that"

"Well so many girls would get to him" Giles said smiling at Buffy.

"So speaking of boys or girls" She said as she put the gel on Buffy's stomach "Do you want to know?"

"Yes" Buffy said at the same time Giles said "No"

"Why not?" Buffy said as Fred put ultrasound wand on Buffy's belly and started to move it around.

"Don't you want a surprise?" Giles said not watching Fred.

"Yes, but I want to be ready" Buffy said looking up at Giles.

"I know but..." he stopped when he could hear the light thudump thudump coming from the ultrasound machine.

"Is that..." Buffy trailed off as her hand found Giles'.

"Yes that's the heart beat" She said. As they listened Buffy watched Fred's face and saw as it started to go from smiling to a little confused.

"What is it?" Buffy asked as she looked over to Giles, who had the same look on his face.

"Is that...?" He trailed off when he saw Fred's smile.

"Two heart beats" Fred finished for him.

"What?" Buffy said as Fred pulled out the sonogram machine. "Two...two heart beats?"

"Yes Buffy, two" Giles said squeezing her hand.

"Wow" Buffy said as Fred put more gel on her stomach and pulled out the sonogram wand.

"Let's see shall we?" Fred said as she put it on Buffy's stomach. The screen was a little blurry and hard to make out but Buffy could see them, both of them.

"Twins" Buffy all but breathed.

"So do you want to know if there boys or girls?" Fred said.

"Or both" Buffy said smiling at Giles.

"Yes" Giles said looking down at Buffy "Boys or Girls?"

She turned around and watched the screen for a few seconds then turned back smiling.

"Girls" She said smiling "And by the look of it they're identical"

"Oh wow" Buffy said smiling "Girl's"

"I know" Giles said "We have to paint the nursery"

"What do you think there doing right now?" Willow said as she and Dawn walked into the house with Xander and Anya right be hind them.

"Finding out if it's a boy or a girl" Dawn said sitting down and going through the mail.

"Another letter from Angel" Dawn said smiling and put it in the open later pile. "When do they get back from Grease?"

"Oh right about now I'd say" Willow said as a red corvette convertible pulled into the drive way.

"Really?" Dawn said turning to look out the window as Angel and Cordy walked up the steps.

"Hey any one home?" Cordy said at the door.

"Coming" Willow said as she walked over to the door. She smiled and opened the door. "Did you two have fun?"

Cordy just smiles at her as she walked over to Dawn and sat down between her and Xander. Angel walked in behind her and smiled at Willow as well.

"Where's Buffy?" Cordy said when Willow sat down.

"She and Giles are at the doctors" Xander said smiling.

"That's right" Angel said sitting down. "Wes said that Fred would be coming down here to see her"

"There coming to the wedding right?" Dawn asked

"Yep" someone said from the door way. They all turned to see a smiling slayer standing there with Giles.

"How'd it go?" Willow asked as she jumped up and hugged her friend.

"Well..." Buffy said as she looked up at Giles with a big smile on her face. "You want to tell them or shall I?"

"Go ahead" He said smiling at her "You know you want to" Buffy smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek and turned to face her friends again.

"Twins!" She said with a bright smile on her face.

"Wow" Willow said hugging her again. "Wow"

"I know" Buffy said. There were hugs all around and then Buffy sat down on the couch with Giles and laid her head on his shoulder.

"Fred's Pregnant too" Giles said when every one was sitting again.

"I told you" Cordy said smiling at Angel.

"So did you talk to the Oracles?" Buffy asked looking over at Angel.

"Yes" He said smiling at her.

"Well what did they say?" Buffy asked

"I told them that if they would give me all the strength I use to have as a vampire I'd still fight for them" He said squeezing Cordys hand.

"And they agreed to that?" Giles said looking shocked.

"Yeah" Angel said "They hadn't planed on me being human and they still need me so, still strong."

"Well that's good" Dawn said smiling at him.

"So what are you wearing to the wedding?" Cordy asked Anya. After that the talk was all wedding plans and party stuff. They had dinner and Dawn talked them into playing a game of Monopoly which she won, like always. At 9:00 every one went home and Dawn claming she was way whipped out went up to her room.

"So what should we name them?" Buffy said when they were alone in the living room.

"I don't know" Giles said smiling as he played with her hair "What do you think?"

"Well I was thinking we could name one of them Elisabeth" Buffy said and turned to face him. "We'd call her Beth for short"

"I think that sounds nice" Giles said smiling at her. "What should we name the other one?"

"I don't know" Buffy said turning so he could play with her hair again "I named one you get to name the other"

"Ok" he said and thought about it for a second "How about Anne?"

"Ok" Buffy said smiling as she relaxed into his chest and fell asleep. He smiled when he breathing slowed and he could tell she was asleep. He picked her up, because even though she was pregnant she still wasn't all that heavy, and carried her up to her room.

"Good night Love" He said as he climbed into bed next to her. He was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Buffy sat in a black hard chair in a sterile white room. She shuddered as she looked around. 'God, I hate hospitals'. She thought as she looked over at the bed across the room. The only sound was the lit beeping of the machine that was monitoring him. Buffy looked him over and smiled; he looked a lot less pale.

His hair had grown out to its natural color. 'It look's so much better that way' Buffy thought as she stood and walked over to the bed. She sat down on the edge of the bed and took one of his hands in hers and squeezed.

"How have you been?" She asked like he would answer her, a tear formed in her eye and she whipped it away. She looked around the room and went on. "Xander's having a baby" She said smiling a little "He's so excited, you should see him running around, buying up all the baby stuff there is" She paused and took a deep breath.

"I'm getting married tomorrow" she said with a happier smile "I wish you could be there" A few more tears found their way to her eyes and she let them fall. "I'm also having a baby" She said as she lifted his hand and put it on her belly. "Two actually...they're both girls" She felt them move around and smiled. "Girls this is your Uncle Spike, Spike these are my girls" She sat there for a moment and let the tears fall down her cheeks. After a few seconds her stomach started to get warm. Then it was more like an intense fire was burning inside her. She stood and as his hand fell away the burning stopped.

"What the hell was that?" She said a little freaked out. She took his hand in hers again. "I gotta go; I'll come see you aft..." But the words died on her lips as she felt a slit pressure on her hand. She looked down and saw his hand was squeezing hers.

"Spike?" She said leaning down closer to him and squeezing his hand. She felt him squeeze back and laughed. She reached out and took his other hand and squeezed them both. He squeezed back again and Buffy laughed again. She reached over and pulled out the nurses call button. She pushed it and sat back down on the edge of the bed.

"Is there something wrong Miss?" An older nurse said as she came into the room.

"He...he squeezed my hand" Buffy said turning to look at her.

"Oh Dear" the nurse said as she walked over "It was probable just a reflex" Buffy's face fell at the words.

"But he's never moved before" She said as the nurse helped her up.

"I know Honey" The nurse said as she led her towards the door. "But after this long there's just not much chance he'll ever wake up"

"Slayer?" a very raspy voice said from behind them. Buffy wiped around and ran to the bed.

"Spike!?" She said taking his hand.

"Buffy" He said as his eyes fluttered open. She squealed with excitement and turned to the nurse.

"Go get the doctor" The nurse nodded her head and walked out the door.

"Bloody hell" he said as he looked Buffy up and down "You're pregnant"

"What do you mean?" Giles said on the other end of a phone call with Willow. "Holy god" He said as she told him what Buffy just told her. "Ok...no of course...we'll come strait away...ok...see you in a while" He hung up the phone and turned to look at every one (which was Dawn, Xander Anya, Angel and Cordy). He smiled and then he laughed. Then he walked over and flipped the closed sign on the door.

"Where are we going?" Xander said looking up from his book.

"That was Willow" he said looking around at them. "Spike just woke up"

"I'm sorry" Cordy said looking up "I thought you said Spike just woke up"

"I did" He said locking the cash register as every one started to talk at once. "Come on we can talk in the car" They all piled into Xander's van (that he had gone out and bought when he found out Anya was pregnant) and started to talk all at the same time again.

"Guy's one a time" Giles said from the back "Xander we're going to the hospital"

"Ok" He said as he started the car. "So what happened?"

"I don't know" he said taking off his glasses "As far as I can tell he just woke up"

"But the doctors said there was next to no chance" Angel said as they barreled down the street.

"I know" Giles said "But this is Sunnydale"

"Is he talking?" Dawn said from the back.

"Willow said he's a little raspy but that's understandable" Giles said. They drove in silence for the rest of the way. As soon as Giles stepped through the doors of the hospital there was a small pregnant slayer around his waste.

"Hi" he said smiling down at her.

"Hi" She looked over at all her friends and smiled. "Come on" She turned and walked down a long hall. They got to the door right as a doctor was coming out.

"Hi Dr. Absinth" Buffy said smiling at her.

"Hello Ms. Summers" She said holding out her hand. They shook hands and Buffy smiled.

"So how is he?" Giles asked looking over at the door.

"He seams to be doing fine" She said pulling his chart off the wall. "It will be a few days before he can walk again"

"Ok" Buffy said "Is he awake?"

"Yes he is, and he's been asking for you" She looked at all the people there. "Normally I wouldn't let you all go in there at the same time" She smiled "But I have a feeling that none of you would listen to me anyway" She smiled at Buffy again and walked away down the hall.

They all walked into the room but Buffy hung back and watched all her friends talking and some (Dawn) crying a little. Giles shook his hand then hugged him and stepped back. He looked over at Buffy and smiled; he walked over and gave her a hug.

"Are you ok?" He asked when he pulled away.

"I'm fine" Buffy said as she put her hand on her stomach. "Giles" She whispered as she pulled him farther away from the group. "It was them" She patted her belly and Giles gave her a funny look.

"What do you mean?" he asked in a whisper.

"I put his hand on my belly and it felt like I was on fire" She looked up at Giles "I think they did something to him"

"You mean like cured him?" Giles asked wondering if that was possible.

"Yeah something like that" Buffy said smiling "What do you think?"

"I don't know" He said "We'll have to look into this"

"Ok" Buffy said kissing him on the cheek. Giles put his hand on her shoulder and deepened the kiss a little.

"Blood hell you two" Someone said from behind them "Get a room" Buffy walked over and smiled at him.

"So when are you two getting hitched?" Spike asked as he reached out and put his hand on her stomach.

"In three days" Buffy said smiling.

"Buffy do you want to wait?" Giles asked putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Now you two aren't going to wait on my account" Spike said smiling at them.

"But now that you're...awake you can come" Buffy said smiling as the girls kicked at Spikes hand.

"I can go" he said looking over to the corner of the room were a wheelchair sat.

"Ok" Buffy said smiling at him. "Well then Spike we need to get you a tux"

Buffy Anne Summers
And
Rupert J. Giles
Invite you to their wedding
On
October 31st 2007
At
2:00pm in St. Paul's Church

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride" The minister said as Buffy and Giles smiled and lend forward to kiss. As soon as there lips meet there was an uproar of cheers and laughter.

Buffy turned with Giles and they ran down the row to the doors as rice was being thrown. They got into the car that was taking them to the Party hall they had rented. Giles pulled her into a hug and smiled as his daughters kicked. Almost like they knew what was going on.

"So how do we feel?" Giles asked putting his hand on her stomach.

"We feel fine thanks" Buffy said putting her hand on his "This has been by far the best day of my life"

"Yes" Giles said smiling at her "Mine too" He leaned over and kissed her. She pulled away and smiled at him.

"So maybe now you can tell me what was really that letter from Nolan" Buffy said putting her head on his shoulder.

"How did you...I mean...You know me to well" Giles said as he reached into his breast pocket and pulled out a letter that was very worn, like he had read it over and over. He handed it to her and smiled.

"Read it later" he said as she started to unfold it. "Tonight"

"Ok" Buffy said putting it in her little purse next to the holy water and stake. "Tonight" Buffy put her head on his shoulder and they rode the rest of the way in silence. As soon as they got there Buffy went to one of the back rooms to change out of the swiping white dress she was wearing. Willow and Dawn were sitting there waiting for her.

"Hi guys" She said as she walked over and hugged them both.

"It was a beautiful ceremony" Willow said as she helped her remove the veil while Dawn helped unzip the back of the dress and Buffy stepped out.

"Thanks" she said when Willow handed her the white flowing summer dress and Buffy put it on.

"I can't believe you're married" Dawn said smiling at her sister.

"I know me ether" Buffy said as Willow touched up her makeup.

"You were so pretty" Willow said smiling as they all stood up.

"Yeah it was perfect" Buffy said and smiled "Just like I always pictured it"

"We better go" Willow said "Your guests will be here soon". They all walked out and were met by the gang. They were the only ones there, for the time being.

"So how does it feel to be a ball and chain?" Xander asked hugging Buffy.

"Better then I ever imagined" Buffy said smiling up at him.

"You looked wonderful Slayer" Spike said wheeling forward.

"Thanks Spike" Buffy said leaning over and giving him a hug. "I'm so happy you got to be here"

"Me too" Spike said putting his hand on her stomach. They talked for another minute before the rest of the guests arrived. And Giles ushered Buffy over to the greeting line.

An hour later and they were already on to the speeches. Giles had unsurprisingly asked Xander to stand as his best man. So he was the one to tap the glass and get every ones attention.

"First I want to thank you all for coming" He started with because Willow had said that was the polite thing to do. "I've never been very good at this kind of thing" He smiled at Buffy and Giles. "You two are two of my best friends" He stops again to take a breath "I wish you all the happiness in the universe" He pauses and smiles "And all the luck in the world because if those girls" he gestures to Buffy's stomach "Are anything like their mother you'll need it" Buffy smiled as Xander sat down.

Willow stood up and smiled at Buffy and Giles. She cleared her throat and raised her glass.

"So many years" Willow said smiling an almost sad smile "I have known these two people. Two of my best friends as well." She smiled over at Xander "They have stuck together no matter what danger they faced or apocalypses they stopped. They work things out and stood tall. You both have such a fire in you, I wish you all the fun and love out there" She smiled "Don't ever let that fire go out" She raised her glass and said "To Buffy and Rupert"

There was a choirs of "To Buffy and Rupert" then they all sat down to eat. Buffy sat there and watched as her friends laughed and talked. She looked around at the smiling faces and wished not for the first time that her mother was here.

"What are you thinking about?" Giles said slipping his arm around her.

"Truthfully?" Buffy said looking around at her friends. Giles nodes and Buffy lets out a sigh. "My mom"

"Oh" Giles said tightening his hold on her "She's here with us" He said smiling at her "Even if we can't see her"

"I know" Buffy said smiling "I just miss her"

"I know" Giles said smiling. He looks over and sees that the band is setting up. "Are you ready to dance?"

"Yes" Buffy said as Xander got up and walked over to the band. He took the mic of the stand and turned it on. There was a loud squelch from the speakers and Xander blushed.

"Told you I wasn't very good at this" The group laughed and he smiled. He looked over at Buffy and Giles and said "I am happy to introduce for the very first time Mr. and Ms. Rupert Giles" Every one clapped and Buffy and Giles got up and walked to the middle of the dance floor.

The music started and Buffy smiled. It was there song, the song he had proposed to, she put her head on his shoulder and sighed a deep happy sigh. After the second verse other people started to come out onto the floor. There wasn't a lot of people there so the floor wasn't to full.

After the song ended and a new one started someone came up to them and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and smiled up at him.

"Can I cut in?" Spike said as Giles moved away a little.

"Yes" Giles said kissing her hand. He walked over to where Willow was sitting and they walked onto the floor together.

"You're walking?" Buffy said looking surprised.

"Yeah" Spike said smiling at her. "Don't know how but... these little ones" He said stepping back a little "They saved me"

"Yes, I think they did" Buffy said smiling up at him.

"You look very peaceful" Spike said smiling at her as they danced around the floor.

"I am thank you" Buffy said. They just danced for a while in silence till Spike put his hand on her belly and smiled. He took her hand and led her back over to the table.

"How are you feeling" Fred asked as they sat down.

"Fine" Buffy said smiling "Wonderful actually"

"Yes well that's to be expected" Fred said smiling at her. They all talked for a while. Two songs later Willow and Giles came back and sat down. They talked for another half and hour then cut the cake. Both having promised not to smash it in the others face did so anyway. After cake and some more dancing Buffy was getting tired and every one was getting ready to leave.

As Fred and Wes were leaving Fred stopped to talk to Buffy and Giles.

"Don't forget we have an appointment on the 5th" She said smiling at her. "We can determine then if a c-section will be necessary"

"Ok" Buffy said "I'll see you there"

Later that night Buffy and Giles were lying in bed. Buffy was sure Giles was asleep as she crept from the bed and over to the little purse sitting on the table. She pulled out the letter and stared at it.

"You won't be able to read it, it you don't open it" Giles said from behind her.

"You scared me" Buffy said turning to look at him. He smiled and sat down next to her, he took the letter from her and opened it and handed it back.

She read it over and looked up at him with tears in her eyes. He shook his head and pulled her into his lap.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you" He said and she cried softly on his shoulder. "I promise"

A/N: Well that's all for tonight. Hope you all enjoyed this one, I'll see you again next time. :-)
