Chapter 6
A few days went by and Buffy revealed to everyone about her pregnancy. Everyone was surprised that she could get pregnant by a vampire and they didn't even think that Buffy and Spike were sleeping together anymore. Buffy assured them that it only happened once, but she does have feelings for Spike and she hopes that maybe more could happen with them in the future and her friends would just have to accept it. She didn't know if anything else would happen with them yet, but they were going to have a baby. Buffy still couldn't believe that it could happen to her. With her being the Slayer she never would have imagined that she could ever have children. She knew that this baby was special and would grow up to be very important, she could feel it. Giles couldn't sleep after finding out about Buffy being pregnant. It was truly a miracle, even if Spike was the father. After doing some research he decided to go outside to get some fresh air. He saw Lexa sitting down on the steps with a book in her lap and tears in her eyes. "Are you alright?" He asked her and she jumped a little. "Sorry, didn't mean to frighten you." Giles said as he sat down next to her. She smiled at him and wiped her eyes and closed her book and put it next to her.
"It's fine, I was just thinking." Giles nodded.
"About your parents?" Lexa nodded also and looked away from him.
"I didn't know my mom very well. I do remember a little and my dad told me stories about her, but I never really got to know her. I know that she was very beautiful and strong. My father loved her very much. When she died it was like a part of him died with her. He was never the same after that, but he knew that he had to take care of me so he couldn't fall completely apart. He became very protective of me, couldn't bear to lose me too. He died because of me." Lexa said as the tears started to fall again.
"How was it your fault?" Giles asked her and she looked at him.
"We got into a stupid fight and I ran out. He ran after me and I was attacked by this big demon. I've never seen anything like it before. The demon was coming for me, but he pushed me out of the way and the demon went after him instead. The demon's claws were poisonous, and my dad got slashed pretty deep. It must have been some pretty strong poison because he died instantly. The last thing he said was that he loved me and to take care of myself. If I just didn't run out of the house then it would have never happened. I don't even remember what we fought about which proves how stupid it was. That's when my grandfather took me in." Lexa said as she looked at Giles and he really felt for the girl.
"I'm sorry, that must have been very difficult." Lexa nodded.
"You have no idea. I think I'll head in now, try to get some sleep." She said as she stood up and walked back into the house. Giles just watched her go in and decided to stay outside for a bit more. He then noticed that she left her book and grabbed it so he could give it back to her. He looked at the cover and realized that it was a journal. He couldn't help but think how familiar the journal seemed, like he saw it before. He opened the book and saw a picture fall out. He looked at the picture and his eyes grew big, then he saw who the journal belonged to and looked at a few of the last things that were written in it.
"Dear lord, it can't be." Giles stated as he put the picture back in the book and went back into the house. He didn't think it would be right to wake Buffy up right now so he headed down to the basement and decided to talk to Spike because he was sure the vampire would be awake. Spike got up when he heard Giles come down the stairs.
"Where's the fire, mate?" He said when he saw the look on his face.
"You have to see this." Giles stated as he handed him the book. Spike opened it and looked at the picture inside. What he saw was a picture of him and Buffy with a little blonde girl standing between them. She looked to be about 6-years-old. He looked back up at Giles.
"What is this?" He asked.
"Isn't it obvious? That's you and Buffy with your daughter." Spike seemed surprised.
"We're having a daughter?" Giles nodded and then grabbed the book from him.
"Does this look familiar to you?" Spike then got a better look at the book.
"Yeah, it's mine. I've had it ever since I came to Sunnydale, but this one looks more worn out. Where did you get this?" Spike asked as he looked up at Giles.
"I saw Lexa with it. Spike, I believe that she is your daughter." Spike stared at him not quite believing what he said.
