Chapter Five: Just a Bug...
The doctor did some tests on Buffy and then Spike and Buffy waited for him to return, Spike got up and began to pace the office.
"Spike, honey, sit, your making me dizzy." He did as she said and sat down, grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it.
"You don't think its anything serious do you?" He said with his eyes full of worry.
She put her other hand on his face and smiled at the fact that he was so worried.
"Hey, I bet it's just a bug or something."
"Right a bug, it's just a bug." He said trying to convince himself that nothing was wrong with the woman that he loved, he was about to get up before he felt Buffys hand on his chest to push him back down.
"No pacing Spike, just hold me ok." She said, Spike nodded and put his arm around her as he nuzzled his face into her hair kissing her head.
A few minutes later the doctor walked into the room, startling the couple as they awaited the news as to what's wrong with Buffy.
"Right doc, tell us what's wrong with her." Spike said impatiently.
"Well we did some tests and..." The doctor started before Spike cut him off as he started to get angry.
"Cut the doctor shit and tell us!!!"
Buffy put her hand on his to calm him down as she turned to the doctor apologetically
"I'm sorry, Dr we're just a bit scared, could you just tell us please." Buffy said softly.
"Ok Ms Summers, you are pregnant"
Buffy and Spike froze in shock
Spike was still frozen when Buffy started chuckling "What, I'm sorry I must have heard you wrong I thought you said I'm pregnant."
"You are about 4 weeks pregnant." Buffy looked blankly at the doctor for a second as the news sunk in
She turned to Spike just in time to see his eyes roll back in his head and him fall to the floor as he fainted
"SPIKE" She shouted as his head hit the floor
"Is he alright?" The doctor asked
"Yeah just give him a minute." She said as she crouched over him tapping his face lightly
"Spike wake up honey, come on." She said tapping his face
Spike started to come round and looked up at Buffy, "Buffy, why are you waking me up so early come back to bed," He said trying to pull her down
"No Spike, we are not at home were..."
"You know I had this weird dream that we went to the doctors and he said you were pregnant." He said chuckling
"Spike, baby we are at the doctors and I am pregnant," She said moving aside for him to look around
"Bloody hell" He said getting up
"Are you ok" She asked him
"Your pregnant with, a baby." He said holding her by the waist
"No Spike with a snake of course with a baby, with your baby." She said smiling
"I'm gonna be a dad." He said as the same excitement built up inside him.
"And I'm gonna be a mom." She said, as she got more and more excited They hugged as the doctor left the room to give them some time alone.
Spike stated to pace the room running his fingers through his hair.
"My god I'm gonna be a father, like a real father." Spike then ran to her and dropped to his knees in front of her and lifted her hands in his. "And I will be a real father Buffy, I will never leave you or our baby, I promise."
She looked at him with pure joy in her eyes. "I know, oh my god Spike our baby."
"Come on lets get out of here and celebrate." He said grabbing her hand and pulling her up softly.
*~*~*~*~*~
Riley watched as the couple came out of the doctor's surgery hugging and giggling with Spikes arm around her waist and one hand on her stomach. Riley now knew that Spike was human, as he had been watching the both of them since he saw them jump of the bus over a month ago. He watched them get into the car and drive back to the hotel he got in own and followed them but took a different route.
*~*~*~*~*~
"Is anyone here Angel, Willow?" Buffy shouted as her and Spike burst through the door holding hands.
"Buffy, what happened at the doctors, are you ok?" Willow asked looking at her best friend.
"Yes, Willow I'm fine, better then fine actually." She said smiling at Spike who was standing next to her with his arms around her waist in a possessive hold.
"Guys, what's going on?" Dawn asked them.
"Well bit, fancy being a aunty?"
"What?" Angel asked confused
"I'm pregnant!!!!" Buffy shouted out
"Oh my god!!!" Dawn and Willow shouted in unison before running over to Buffy and hugging her "Congratulations!!!!"
Xander, Giles, Angel and Wood stood around watching the scene in amazement shooting glances at each other before they watched Buffy walk towards them.
"Aren't you happy for us, Giles you're gonna be like a granddad." She said standing in front of Giles. Giles saw the joy in her eyes that were being clouded over by sadness at the thought of Giles not being happy, he quickly reassured her.
"Err yes of course I'm happy for you the both of you and about the granddad part, err that's only if you want me to be the like a grand father to the child."
"Of course I do." She said wrapping her arms around the man she saw as her father.
She broke the hold and walked over to Xander and Angel, Spike had by now sat down and smiling to himself as he still couldn't believe he was going to be a father.
"Xander, Angel what about you two are you happy for me?" They looked at each other then at Spike then back at Buffy
"Are you sure Buff, I mean that you're pregnant?" Xander finally said
"Yeah I mean it is Spike so we can't be sure that it's right, I mean maybe theirs some kind of mistake." Angel said chuckling at the thought of Spike fathering a child.
Buffy backed off and ran up the stairs crying, Spike instantly reacted and ran over to Angel and pined him up the wall.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM!!!" He said before he dropped Angel and ran up after Buffy.
They all watched as Spike ran up the stairs, Angel straightened himself out and looked around at everyone
"Wow talk about over reaction huh." He said looking round for someone to agree with him.
"No Angel." Faith said as she stood with Willow and Dawn, all three of them had their arms crossed. " Spikes right, what the fuck is your problem both of you." She said pointing at Xander.
"Can't you two just be happy for her." Willow said to them." I mean you can see how happy she is yet you two are still all anti–Spike."
"Buffy is gonna have a baby and now because of you two she crying her eyes out." Dawn said angry with the two of them for upsetting her sister.
"Dawn we're sorry we..." Angel started but Dawn cut him off
"I'm not the one you should be apologising to." She said looking up at the stairs.
*~*~*~*~*
Riley listened outside the hotel as his mind went over load with rage as he heard the words that Buffy was saying
'I'm pregnant'
"She's pregnant but she can't be she's mine, she belongs to me." Riley said to himself.
Riley then thought to himself for a second as a sly sick grin grew on his face "Ok then Buffy my sweet, new plan." He said to himself before he got in to his car and drove away to carry on with his new plan.
*~*~*~*~
Spike softly came into the room and found Buffy sitting on the edge of the bed crying into her hands, she looked up as she saw Spike come in she jumped up from her seat and wrapped her arms around his neck and cried into his shoulder.
"Hey now luv you shouldn't get upset over what those two wankers think." He said before he walked her over to the bed and sat her down.
"I thought they'd be happy for me." Buffy snuffled as the crying started to lessen.
"I know luv maybe they just need a little time." Spike said trying to wipe away her tears with his thumb. "Hey we were supposed to be celebrating right, we're gonna be parents Buffy." She started to smile at the thought
"Yeah, daddy." He smiled at the thought of being called 'daddy'.
"Wow, 'daddy', this is amazing." He said looking into her eyes
"I love you Spike." She said as a tear of joy ran down her face.
"I love you too and this little man." He said now rubbing her stomach
"Err how do you know its gonna be a boy?" She said looking at him
"Its has to be, of course its gonna be a boy, boys were born first in my family."
"Ah but girls were born first in mine." She said pointing at herself.
"I'm sure its gonna be a... look don't argue with me ok I am telling you its gonna be a *boy*?
"Well I'm telling you its gonna be a *girl*?" Spike and Buffy were interrupted by a knock at the door, "Come in." Spike shouted
It was Angel and Xander at the door, Spike instantly got up and stood in front of them, "Look if you two have come to make her cry again you can just piss off right."
"We haven't come for...we've come to say we're sorry Buffy" Angel said trying to peer around Spike to look at Buffy on the bed.
"Yeah Buff we're sorry, we didn't mean to upset you it was just a bit of a shock but we are very happy for you aren't we Dead-boy." He said patting Angel on the back.
"Don't call me that," He said looking at Xander then turn back to Buffy "But yes I am happy for you Buffy."
Buffy got up and hugged them both before wrapping her arms around Spikes waist.
"Hey whose up for celebrating, huh getting the baby partying on." Xander said while stretching his hand to Buffy and pulling her out the door,
Spike followed his girlfriend but was interrupted by Angel "It'll never last" Angel said, as Spike was about to step out
"What's wrong poofter, jealous" Spike said grinning
"It'll never last, she get over this thing that she's testing out with you and then she'll dump you like a hot brick, and I just hope that I'm there when it happens" Angel said smiling
"Oh and she's going to dump the father of her child huh" Spike said as he watched Angel walk towards him, Angel grabbed his arm and gripped it as hard as he could.
"I swear Spike if you ever do anything to hurt her..." Spike cut him off by ripping his arm out of his grip and getting up in his face
"You listen to me, I love Buffy and I would never hurt her in any way and I know you aren't happy about our baby but you'd just better get used to it because I'm gonna be a better boyfriend to Buffy then you were and a better father then you could ever be ." Spike looked Angel up and down and walked out the room muttering to himself, " Poof"
It was the father bit that hurt Angel the most, he had just lost Conner and missed him like crazy, but another thing that hurt was the fact that Spike had everything he had wanted, the women he loved, Humanity and Fatherhood. He would give up everything he had to have the time he had with Cordelia and baby Conner back before Holtz took Conner and Cordelia was made a higher been. He loved both of them so much, they were his family and they were gone, Angel leant his head on the wall, he slammed his fist on the wall then made his way done stairs.
Once down stairs Angel watched as Spike walked straight to Buffy and wrapped his arms around her from the back and placed his hands over her stomach and started to whisper in her ear and as she giggled Angel began to growl at Spike, Spike just shot him a grin and carried on.
The doctor did some tests on Buffy and then Spike and Buffy waited for him to return, Spike got up and began to pace the office.

"No pacing Spike, just hold me ok." She said, Spike nodded and put his arm around her as he nuzzled his face into her hair kissing her head.
