Something New: Chapter One

Disclaimer: I don't own AtS or BtVS! Period. (scribble out Period) Exclamation point!

Glor: Yay! Reviews! (hugs reviewers) I'm happy! Thank you! Time for shameless advertisement! If you like this fic, you might like my fic, 'Once More with Déjà Vu'. (innocent grin) Heheh...? And, let's say Buffy spent a few weeks in L.A. to visit her dad and Angel, okay? Okay!



Knock. Knock. Knock.

Spike opens Giles' front door to see Anya with a bag from the Magic Box and Xander, "I bought everything but they were out of Tagas Root so we can't properly perform the spell until we buy some tomorrow when they restock," Anya stated as she place the bag on Giles' desk and sat down on the couch followed by Xander who waved his hand in front of his face.

"Please stop whatever you're doing. You smell like fruit roll-ups," Giles complained as Xander moved his hand away.

Spike shook his head, "This is the crack team that foils my every plan? I am deeply shamed," he said as he got a glare from Xander.

"So, where's the Buffster?" Xander asked Giles while ignoring Spike's last comment.

"She's sick, whelp so don't even think 'bout botherin' her," Spike answered for Giles.

Xander stood up and walked up to Spike, "And when did you get all protective over Buffy?" Xander spat.

"Since we got engaged, tonight," Spike answered proudly.

Xander a bewildered expression fell upon Xander's face, "How? What? How?" he asked in confusion.

"Three excellent questions," Giles muttered as he grabbed his scotch and downed the rest of the glass.

"He's gotta be lying! Buffy'd never marry you!" Xander exclaimed.

"Hence another part of the reason we need the reversal spell," Giles said as he got up to refill his glass in the kitchen.

"Whoa, G-man, let me help you there," Xander replied as Spike rolled his eyes and sneaked up the stairs, unnoticed by Giles and Xander but not by Anya.

"Spike?" Anya said interrupting Spike's almost perfect getaway.

Spike turned around, "Uh, yeah?"

"Congratulations! I hope you and Buffy have many pleasurable orgasms together," Anya congratulated.

Spike smirked, "Thanks, demon girl," he answered as he snuck upstairs before Giles and Xander returned from the kitchen.



Spike shut the door behind him and sauntered over to the bed Buffy was on. He sat down and took off his boots. Soon he crawled into the bed next to Buffy. She began to stir as Spike gathered her into his arms.

"Mmm..." she moaned as she opened her eyes, "Well, that's a nice face to wake up to..."

Spike smirked, "So's yours, pet..." he said as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and nuzzled her neck, "So beautiful," he murmured.

Buffy smiled as she pulled his face up to her and looked straight into his eyes, "Make love to me..." she said barely above a whisper.

A smile spread across his face, "You sure your well enough for that, luv?" he teased as she slept him lightly.

"I'm feeling much better..." she answered as she flipped him onto his back, straddling him.

Spike smirked as he pulled her mouth down to his for a heated kiss.



"Ahn, where'd bleach boy go?" Xander asked his girlfriend as he helped Giles to the couch.

Anya looked up from the spell book she had picked up from the coffee table, "Oh, Spike went upstairs to have sex with Buffy," she stated bluntly then went back to reading.

Giles coughed on his scotch that he had just taken a swig of, "And you let them!" Giles exclaimed once he had stopped choking.

"Yeah, Ahn, what's wrong with you!? You don't just let Spike have sex with a sick Buffy!" he shutters, "I think I just got some unwanted imagery..."

Anya puts her book down and marches right up to Xander, "What's wrong with two people having sex when they both obviously need it?"

"But, see, the thing is they're under a spell! It's not what they want to do!" Xander argued.

"Of coarse they both want to. Haven't you seen the sexual tension between those two? You could cut it with a knife!" she argued back then added, "And they ARE engaged, so why does it matter?"

Xander though for a second, "Engaged...?" he trailed off, "Wait... married... I know something... what is it...? Everything's so familiar... Work, brain - work! Oh! Oh oh! Willow!" Xander exclaimed as he remembered something, getting Anya and Giles attention, "Something about Willow and her griefy-poor-me mood swings - so, so tired of it,"

"You mean I don't have to be nice about her anymore?" Anya asked, the argument forgotten.

"Well, we're all tired of it, but what does it have to do with what's going on?" Giles said.

"She said that those two should get married," he said as he thumbed toward the stairs.

"And... That I didn't see anything," Giles said, in realization.

"She did a spell!" Anya exclaimed.

"Yes... to have her will done. Whatever she says is coming true," Giles stated, "We must find her before someone gets seriously injured,"

A scream came from Buffy upstairs, "Like that!" Xander said in a panic as he rushed to the stairs but Anya stopped him.

"Honey, that was a pain scream. That was pleasure scream," Anya said, patting Xander on the back.

"All the more reason to go up and stop them," Xander said as he tried to go upstairs but Anya again blocked his way.

"Do you really want to interrupt them, you'll probably end up seeing a naked Spike," Anya reasoned, "Or a naked Buffy which you're not allowed to see so sit your butt back down!"

Xander grudgingly sat back down, "Hey, Giles, can I have some of that scotch?" Xander asked.



Buffy panted as she laid her head onto Spike's bare chest, "That was amazing..." she said as Spike stroked her hair.

"Yeah, it was..." he said contently, "Ready for another go?"

Buffy giggled, "Sorry, I'd love to... It's just I haven't been feeling ever since I got back from visiting Angel..." she said.

Spike growled, "Thought you weren't gonna say that name..." he said angrily as Buffy picked up her head from his chest.

"I'm sorry... It's just the truth..." soon she had a coy smile on her face, "And plus you're the one I love, not Angel..." Spike grinned and pulled Buffy down for another kiss. When she came up for air, she stared into his eyes and smiled, "I'm the luckiest girl on Earth,"

"That you are, luv," he said and then she pouted, "And I'm the luckiest bloke," he added and soon she kissed him again.

She rolled of him, so she lied next to him in his arms. She snuggles into his chest, "You won't leave me tomorrow, will you?" she whispered quietly.

Spike looked over at her, "Of course I won't, why would I, pet?" he asked as tears started to form in her eyes.

She swallowed the lump in her throat, "'Cause every time I've done this, the guy goes evil..." she said as she began to cry.

Spike pulled her closer to him, "I'm not gonna go evil in the morning, luv. I'm not Angelus and I'm not that Parker git. Neither them deserve you, I do," he said as he rubbed her back to sooth her.

Buffy looked up at him, "You promise? Promise you'll stay with me?" she pleaded as he wiped a few of her tears away.

"I promise," Spike said as he kissed her forehead, "Now got to sleep, pet. You're sick and I've probably knackered you out,"

Buffy nodded and snuggled into his chest. Soon she fell into a peaceful slumber. Spike yawned and listened to her rhythmic breathing and her heartbeat but he heard another sound. It was a steady beating of a small heart beating in Buffy's stomach.



Xander downed a whole glass of scotch and started coughing. Anya was soon by his side, rubbing his back, "Xander, you shouldn't drink scotch like that,"

Xander coughed, "Thought it'd help, guess not..."

"Will you two please get going? Find Willow so she can reduce this spell. I'd like to have my sight restored soon," Giles complained.

"Sure thing, G-man. Anya, let's go," Xander said as he grabbed his girlfriend's hand and they left the apartment.



Willow walks alone down the hallway of Stevenson Hall and enters her and Buffy's dorm room. She shuts the door behind her with a sigh. Soon a demon come out of nowhere, putting his hands on either side of Willow's head, causing electricity and wind to wipe around her before they both disappear leaving a burnt circle in the carpet.



Now Xander and Anya are walking down the hall, heading towards Willow and Buffy's dorm in silence. They open the door to find a burnt circle of carpet.

"D'Hoffryn. Bastard, he's opened a portal here," Anya stated angrily as she looked at the burnt circle.

"Who, Ahn?" Xander questioned.

"D'Hoffryn. He made me a demon 1120 years ago," Anya told her boyfriend.

"Why would he attack Willow?"

"I don't believe he did."



Willow is now in a pitch-black room surrounded by many demons and D'Hoffryn speaks to her.

"You have much anger and pain. Your magic is strong, but your pain - it's like a scream that pierces dimensional walls. We heard your call," D'Hoffryn told the terrified witch.

"I-I'm sorry. I'll try for a quiet rage. Bye," she stuttered as she turned to leave but is stopped by the circle of demons.

"Our intention is not to quash your potential - quite the contrary," he calls to her and she turns to him with a scared and confused look on her face.



"I'd been dumped, I was miserable, doing a few vengeance spells - boils on the penis, nothing fancy," Anya said as the headed back to Giles' house.

"Please skip ahead," Xander said as he shifted uncomfortably while he walked.

"D'Hoffryn got wind of me, he offered to elevate me," she said then saw Xander's 'huh?' look, "He made me a demon."

"Oh God, Wills! We got help her!" Xander said as they entered Giles' apartment.

"Well, I need a talisman to call upon him and I do not have one," Anya said as she closed the door behind her.

"A talisman to call upon whom?" Giles asked as he heard them come in.

"D'Hoffryn, he has Willow and he might make her a vengeance demon," Anya stated.

"Where do we get a talisman, Ahn?" Xander asked.

"I may still have one. I just have to go back to my house and get it..." Anya said as she headed to the door but not before giving Xander a quick peck on the lips, "I'll be back soon,"

Once she left Xander stood up, "I'm going to check on Buffy," he said before Giles could warn him it was a bad idea.



"Buffy!" Xander called as he opened the door to the bedroom, apparently forgetting what had happened upstairs.

Buffy was still sound asleep but Spike's gold eyes opened and they glowed as he glared at Xander, "What do you want, whelp?" he asked as he stayed in his vamp face.

Xander had jumped, "Ugh! I forgot YOU were up here too!" he griped as he noticed the clothes strewn all over the room and grimaced.

Spike shifted so he was sitting up and slipped out of his vamp face, "Apparently forgot why I'm up here too," he said with a smirk.

Before Xander could respond Buffy groaned, "Mmm... Spike..." she moaned as she began to open her eyes and when she did, she noticed Xander's presence, "Xander!" she yelped as she pulled the sheets closer to he naked body.

Xander turned around, "Could you two please get dressed? We've figured out that Willow did a spell and this vengeance demon, D'Hoffryn, took her to make her vengeance demon so just hurry up and come downstairs," he said with a sound of disgust in is tone as he left the room.

Buffy frowned, "He doesn't like you, does he?" she stated sadly.

"Well, he's just gonna have to deal with it," he said as he absentmindedly rubbed her stomach.

"Mmm... That feels good..." she moans as he rubs her stomach then he looks at her seriously.

"Buffy..." he said as she looks up at him, "I know why you haven't been feeling well..."

"Really? That's great! So do you know how to make me feel better?" Buffy said enthusiastically.

Spike frowned, "You're pregnant, luv,"

Buffy gaped at him, "No, that's impossible. The only person live person I've been with was Parker-" she stopped her sentence dead in the middle, "Oh my God," she said as he put he hand to her stomach.

Spike shook her head, "Can't be. I would much further along. I've only just heard the heart beat start beating," he stated and she let out a sigh of relief then a confused look came onto her face.

"I don't get it... That would mean it would have had to happen while I was in L.A.,"

"Well-" he started.

"No, I didn't... God, how could you think I'd... But I don't get it..." she thought for a moment and her eyes widened, "Oh my God..." she muttered as slumped down into the sheets.

"Buffy...?" Spike said as he pulled her out from under the sheets, "What happened?"

"I'm not actually sure it happened... It's a just dream I got the right before I noticed I was sick..." Spike listened intently as she paused, "I had a dream that Angel was human and..." she trailed off when she saw Spike's angry face, "Don't be angry, I don't remember if it actually happened I'm definitely mad at him..."

Spike tried to keep his anger down and tried to be understanding, "Go on... I won't interrupt. Explain your dream 'bout Peaches," he said grinding his teeth a bit.

"See, he was human but after a whole day, ha made these Oracles take away the day because he couldn't protect me as a human... Which is completely and utterly stupid! It wouldn't have mattered..." she said as tears ran down her cheeks.

"You'd still be with him if he didn't take it away, wouldn't you?" he asked trying to keep the anger out of his tone but failing miserably.

Buffy winced, "Maybe... But he always does things like this! He thinks he has to protect me! I can protect myself! I don't need him to always think he knows what's best for me... It wouldn't have worked out... I love him and he loves me but we can't be together and it's not just the curse... Whenever we get chance together he's just gonna give it away," she said as he voice cracked and she began to sob and Spike pulled her to his chest.

Spike stroked her hair, "Don't worry, pet. I'll take care of you, even if it turns out to be the poof's kid,"

Buffy looked up at him as tears fell from her eyes, "You will?" she said, her throat sounding scratchy from crying and he nodded and she snuggles into him, "You promise not to tell the others until I tell them?"

"I promise, Buffy," he said as he sealed the promise with kiss on her head, "Now let's get dressed before the whelp comes back and throws a fit,"

A smile spread across Buffy's face as they got up to get dressed.



Glor: I know, a lot shorter then the last chapter but that one had to have all that so it wouldn't seem pointless and most of that was transcript. Any transcript used in this chapter is credited to buffyworld.com, one of my personal favorite websites. It has every Buffy AND Angel transcript including 'Not Fade Away'. (giggles) More shameless advertisement of my fanfics... I just posted a fanfic called 'Aftermath', which is definitely cliché but it has a point. It has many many couplings. Definitely Spuffy for one thing. I'm not gonna give away all the couples here so you'll have to read and wait for updates. Don't worry, once summer rolls around updates will be constant 'cause no homework and no life equals happy fanfic readers... ;; Please Review! Bye-e!
