Chapter 5
Buffy was in the bathroom again later that night throwing up. She has been having a hard time keeping stuff down. She figured everyone was sleeping when she heard a voice behind her. "So, when are you going to tell them?" Buffy turned to see Lexa standing there.
"Shouldn't you be sleeping?" Buffy asked and Lexa shrugged.
"I don't sleep much and you didn't answer my question." Buffy sighed.
"Maybe because I don't know what you're talking about." She turned away from her and looked at her reflection and she saw how pale she was.
"When are you going to tell them that you're pregnant?" Buffy wasn't expecting that question and turned back to look at her.
"How...how did you know that?" Lexa rolled her eyes.
"I am from the future; I tend to know some stuff. I know more about you than you think." She told her.
"Did you tell anyone?" Lexa shook her head.
"It's not my place to tell anyone." Buffy nodded.
"I will tell them, just waiting for the right moment. I'm still not sure how this is even possible." Lexa nodded also.
"Yeah, mystical pregnancies are usually like that." Buffy looked up at her.
"Mystical pregnancy?" Lexa nodded again.
"How else did you expect to get impregnated by a vampire? It's not exactly natural." She explained.
"How do you think Spike will take it?" Lexa shrugged and looked at her.
"That I can't tell you, but he loves you. Anyone can see that. He'll support you no matter what, he's like that." Lexa said with a smile on her face and Buffy noticed and again wondered about that.
"I'm just taking a wild guess here, but do you happen to know Spike. In the future I mean, you seem like you've met before." Lexa looked like she was caught.
"Well, I know of him. He does a lot of amazing things in the future, he's a true hero. You are too of course, but unfortunately your life doesn't last as long. That's what I'm here to change. The future is chaos without you in it. You're meant to live a lot longer and to be there for your child." Buffy noticed that Lexa seemed a little upset, but didn't say anything about it.
"Well, that's good to know." They both turned around at the voice to see Spike.
"How much did you hear?" Buffy asked him.
"I heard enough." Lexa then figured that was her cue to leave.
"Right, I'm suddenly really tired. Gotta go." She said as she walked past Spike and out of the bathroom. Spike then turned back to Buffy.
"So, you're pregnant?" Buffy just nodded not sure what else to say. "I'm guessing it's mine." Buffy couldn't believe that he would say that.
"Of course it's yours. I haven't been with anyone else. How can you even think that?" Spike shrugged.
"I don't know what to think, Buffy. Last time I checked I was a vampire and we weren't exactly able to have children." He told her.
"I don't know how this happened, but it did." Spike nodded and accepted it.
"When did you find out?" He asked her.
"I've only known for about a week. Who knew that the one time we slept together two months ago would have gotten me pregnant. Do you think it had anything to do with the soul? Oh god, you didn't lose it did you? I didn't even think about that." Spike put his hands on her shoulders to stop her ranting.
"I didn't lose it, pet. I'm not Angelus; you don't have to worry about that. My soul is permanent." Buffy sighed in relief and then looked at him.
"What are we going to do?" Spike sighed also.
"We have to tell your friends and we also have to keep you alive. Now more than ever. Now let's get you to bed." Buffy nodded and he put his arm around her and led her out of the bathroom.
