Chapter Six: Red
3 Months later
Buffy and Spike moved out of the hotel and moved to a four bed roomed house that Angel bought for them as a present, Buffy was now four months pregnant and beginning to show.
Angel had come to terms with Buffy and Spikes relationship and said no more about it.
Faith stayed at Angels and Buffy could see them getting closer and closer everyday after Robin went with Giles to gather the rest of the slayers with Andrew and the potentials.
Xander, Dawn, Willow and Kennedy shared a apartment round the corner from Buffy and Spikes place, Angel had organised all of this as he had his powerful law firm to push things forward.
Faith and Buffy had become closer, Buffy liked it when Faith came round when Willow was busy, Willow was busy a lot lately as she was with Kennedy a lot. Faith would come round and they would chat about stuff, like sometimes Faith would chat to her about prison and what it was like, and Buffy would tell her about things that happened with her when she was in prison, and a plus for Buffy was that she could compare sex stuff with Faith too, as much as she loved her she couldn't do that with Willow. The only thing Buffy didn't like when Faith came round is when she would have to leave her alone with Spike, she trusted Spike with her life and anybody else's but she still got jealous when she would come in to a room and find them laughing together but she always was reassured when Spike would jump up and hug her or tell her he loved her or he would do what she loved him to do, kiss her and then bend down and kiss her stomach or talk to the baby and tell the baby that he loved it. The first time he did that Buffy cried out of pure happiness and crazy pregnancy hormones.
Faith had come round and her and Buffy were talking when Spike came in and told Buffy to call Dawn as she had called earlier, when Buffy went out the room she could her Faith and Spike whispering she didn't know what was going on but she just put it down to them chatting.
*~*~*~*~*~
"Dude are you serious?" Faith shrieked to him when Buffy went out the room.
"Shhh, yes deadly but Buffy don't know." Spike whispered quickly glancing out the door to make sure Buffy wasn't there.
"When are you gonna do it." She asked excitedly
"I've got a plan but I'll need you're help." He said to a still excited Faith.
"I'm all ears, what do you want me to do."
"We can't talk here, Buffys got very good hearing." He said as he looked around and walked over to the door and shouted out to her
"Buffy!!" He shouted out the door then turned to Faith to give her a wink
"Yeah!" She shouted from up stairs
"Faith and I are gonna get some Ketchup for you to put in your cereal tomorrow ok!"
"Ok I'll come with..." Buffy was cut off at the site of the front door being slammed behind them, Buffy could hear giggling from Faith outside.
*~*~*~*
Once Spike and Faith got outside Faith started laughing "Ketchup in cereal?" Faith asked him kinda grossed out
"Yeah its one of the cravings, if she doesn't have cornflakes and ketchup every morning we have ourselves a very pissed of pregnant slayer."
"Wow, that sounds very disgusting."
"Faith, I have been on the earth for a very long time and seen a few things with it but watching Buffy eat cornflakes mixed in ketchup has to be the most revolting thing I have ever seen, and its not only cornflakes she puts ketchup on everything, sometimes I walk in to the kitchen and she is drinking ketchup out of the bottle or with a straw, I like ketchup but not that much its disgusting"
"Dude, even hearing about it sounds gross so you wanna start with the plan."
Spike smiled at her and started to explain what he wanted her to do.
*~*~*~*~*
About a week later Buffy started to get suspicious about Spike and Faith, it wasn't the that she didn't trust them, she loved Spike more than anything and Faith was turning into a best friend to Buffy but she didn't know what was going on with the two of them, for a few days now, they would go out the house together when Buffy came into the house, or Buffy would call Spike and hear Faiths voice in the background or Buffy would come home and find them together alone whispering about something, Buffy thought to herself 'nothings going on between them, I mean Spike wouldn't cheat on me I mean I'm four months pregnant with his child, he wouldn't do that to me and Faiths like a best friend to me I mean just because she tried it with Angel and done it with the other one,' She thought as she didn't even want to think of Riley's name as she remembered what Riley did to Spike.
'Doesn't mean she gonna try it with Spike I mean Faiths changed, she wouldn't do that to me, she knows how much I love Spike,' She then remembered Faith said she was coming round tonight and that Spike said he was working late.
Spike works with Angel at the new Wolfram and Hart office, he is head of warriors in the office, he decides what happens when a group go out patrolling, he is the one that they all come to when something has happened on patrol then he goes and tells Angel, Angel pays him good money so Buffy and him are ok.
Buffy loves to see when Spike gets excited about the baby, Spike would come home almost everyday with something for the baby like a baby seat or bottles or a walker and most of the time clothes that her couldn't resist but buy, sometimes she would wake up and find Spike rubbing her stomach and speaking to the baby, but recently he hadn't been doing it as much, he would still wake up every morning and kiss Buffy, then her stomach and say good morning to his son,
Buffy and Spike still argued about whether the baby was boy or girl but again not as much, so Buffy had decided that tonight she would find someway to ask Faith what is going on.
*~*~*~*~*~
Spike and Faith had finally finished the plan everything was set out
"Ok we all set." Faith said looking around and then back at Spike.
"Yeah we do it tonight, I think Buffys in for the surprise of her life." Spike said looking around at what he had set up.
"Oh yeah she not gonna know what hit her, so I go get her and then its all on you man."
"Ok you remember what to do."
"Yeah man no sweat." She said before heading off to get Buffy.
*~*~*~*~*
Buffy sat in her room with a few movies waiting for Faith to arrive thinking of what she was gonna say when she heard the front door open down stairs and heard Faiths voice.
"Hey B you here?" She shouted
"I'm upstairs," she shouted
Buffy heard Faiths feet come up the stairs
"Hey." Faith asked excitedly.
"Hey" Buffy asked not as excited
"You ok."
"Fine, err I got some movies..." Buffy started
"Screw the movies we're going out." She said looking in Buffys wardrobe a getting a particular dress out.
"Err Faith kind of got the case of being pregnant here I cant go partying with you."
She said starting to get frustrated that Faith was still running around her room picking out stuff for her to wear, then she noticed the dress Faith was holding she had never seen before.
"Faith, were did that dress come from?" She said lifting it from Faiths hand and looking at it, "Its beautiful." The dress was a long red silk number with a small slit up the side.
"I dunno maybe blondie bought it for you." Buffy took the opportunity to ask Faith now that Spike was on the subject
"Talking about Spike, what is going on with you two?" She said trying to look like she was very interested in the dress by holding it up and admiring it but kept looking at Faith out of the corner of her eye.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing its just you to have been getting closer and I was just wandering..."
"Hey, let's talk about this later huh we have to get back to the hotel for me to get changed so hurry up put on the dress, I'll be down stairs." Faith knew what was on her mind and also knew that her questions would be answered soon.
"Ok, later." She said as Faith left the room.
*~*~*~*~*
Once Buffy finished she admired her self in the mirror, the dress looked amazing even with the bulge of her stomach, she put on some diamond earring and some red slick back shoes, she left her hair down, put her make up on and she was ready to go, with a final rub of her swollen stomach, she went down stairs.
When Buffy got down stairs Faith was on her mobile, "Everything is five by five Spike, ok see you soon." She heard Faith whisper and then hang up.
Buffy heard her boyfriends name and wasn't sure what to make of it, she decided she was going to have it out with Faith once at the hotel.
"Hey B you look great"
"Thanks" She said not very enthusiastic.
"Ok let's go."
Faith walked out the front door and Buffy followed locking the door behind her and putting the keys in her little red purse and following Faith to the car Angel bought her.
*~*~*~*~*
Faith and Buffy walked into the hotel, Buffy looked around as nobody was around, "Where is everybody?" She said walking down the stairs
"At the office I think. Hey B have you seen what Angel did up on the roof?"
"No what is it?" She said not sure what was going on.
"Come see." Faith said cocking her head to the side a sly grin Buffy followed Faith to the elevator as they made their way up to the roof in silence, once at the top Faith pointed to a door "Pregnant ladies first." She said with a smile
Buffy looked at Faith then at the door and walked towards it she opened the door and stepped out side only to have Faith push her out and shut the door behind her, Buffy turned around quickly to only see that she was alone and that Faith hade locked the door behind her
"FAITH, Faith what the hell is going on?"
When she heard no answer she walked on to find anther door in. As she walked round a corner she found a path of candles, she put her hand protectively over her stomach as she didn't know what to expect, for a few minutes she followed the candles till the candles started to separate in to a big circle with a dinner table in the middle with Spike standing in a tux with a red rose in his hand, he looked up slowly to look in to Buffys eyes, tears came to Buffys eyes as she realised she had been set up and that it was all down to Spike
"Spike, this is amazing." She said looking around
"Like it luv."
"Love it." She walked over to him and kissed him
"Take a seat." He said pulling out a chair for her. "Got some of you favourites." He said pulling out a bottle of ketchup
"Ooo Ketchup yey." She said taking it out of his hand and drinking it out of the bottle. They sat and ate a three-course meal together with Buffy putting ketchup on every one of them, even the Strawberry empanadas and chocolate hazelnut truffles they had for dessert.
"That was great," Buffy said after washing down her Strawberry empanadas and chocolate hazelnut truffles and ketchup with ketchup.
"Glad you liked it." Spike looked down nervously and then back at Buffy, he got up and walked round the table to her a got down on one knee
"Err Buffy, I love you more than anything in the world, I love everything about you, even this ketchup thing you've got going on," They both chuckled as Spike reached for Buffys hand and held it "And now, we are having a baby and I can love him as much as I love you."
"Its gonna be a g..." Buffy tried to say before Spike started talking again
"And what I'm trying to say is...Buffy Anne Summers," He said reaching in to his pocket. Buffy gasped as he opened a small red velvet box to present a gold ring with a blood red ruby and a diamond on each side off it.
"Will you marry me?"
"Oh my god" Spike watched as tears ran down her face, she started to nod and realised he needed words, "Yes." She simply said.
A smile grew on Spikes face. "Yes" He said repeating what she said
"Yes, of course I'll marry you." She said jumping up into his arms and kissing him passionately on the lips. When he broke the hold he slipped the ring onto her finger and hugged her again
Faith came up to were Spike and Buffy were and Spike looked up and gave her a thumbs up, she quickly ran off and down the stairs, once in the lobby she shouted out
"Party's on people."
All of a sudden Angel, Xander, Dawn, Willow and Kennedy came out of there hiding places and began to put up party decorations before Buffy and Spike came down, it was all done in a couple of minutes as they all had specific things to do, Willow grabbed the food out of Angels office, Angel and Xander put up the banner saying 'HAPPY ENGAGMENT' while Faith, Dawn and Kennedy got the pre blown balloons from one of the room and on the first floor and stated to put them up, once everyone was done, Faith looked around and nodded
"Ok I'll go and get the guests of honour." She said running to the elevator and going up, once at the roof she found Buffy and Spike kissing in the same spot she left them, Spike spotted Faith waving frantically to get his attention, he opened one eye and Faith gave him thumbs up and ran back down stairs.
Spike broke the kiss and stepped away and took her hand and started to lead her back towards the hotel "I've got another surprise for you pet."
He said leading her to the elevator.
"I don't need anything else this is perfect," She said as they got down to the ground floor Buffy was about to lean up and kiss Spike as she saw his eyes wander to behind her, she turned round and gasped as she saw all her friends jump out and shout
"Surprise!!!!!"
"Oh my god." She said then looking up at a smiling Spike. "You did all this."
"With some help." He said looking at Faith
Buffy instantly ran over to Faith and hugged her "Thank you so much." She whispered in to her ear
"No problem B "she whispered back
"Here's me thinking you was trying something on with Spike." She chuckled
"Nah B I wouldn't do that to you... again." She said glancing at Angel. Buffy looked at him and then back at Faith and smiled, she looked around at everything as she backed back up to Spike and wrapped her arms around his waist
"This is great, thank you guys."
Everyone smiled and looked at Angel who was supposed to que the music once Buffy was down stairs but was to busy looking at Faith then realised everyone was looking at him.
"What," Angel said, Buffy and Spike looked at each other and back and Angel as they both saw who Angel was looking at with a glint in his eyes.
"Oh right the music, sorry." He said running in to his office Spike bent down and whispered into Buffys ear
"Was it my imagination or was..."
"Angel checking out Faith" Buffy said finishing his sentence "Oh yeah." They both chuckled as they saw Faith look at Angel when he wasn't looking and Angel look at Faith when she wasn't looking.
*~*~*~*~*
It was about two hours through the party, once Buffy had finished showing everyone her ring and after she called Giles to tell him the news, she sat in Spikes lap
"You planned all this."
"Anything for you my beautiful fiancé."
"Oh Spike," She said before leaning in for a passionate kiss.
They sat next to the front desk and made out for about ten minutes before they broke the hold and looked around to find everyone glancing and laughing,
"Oops forgot the lack of privacy." She said looking in to his eyes and stroking his face, then Spike glanced at the stairs where Angel was leaning on the wall with Faith smiling and lying on his chest, Spike prodded Buffy and nodded his head at them, Buffy looked at Spike then followed his eye line to the pair that looked in deep conversation she turned round and smiled at Spike and then looked back at them, Buffy leaned back into Spike so her back was on his chest and her mouth was by his ear so they could whisper to each other, "Well, look at the gel king." Spike said smirking
"Do you think something's going on?" She asked her future husband and father of her child.
"I dunno maybe, would that bother you?" He asked curious of what she would say
"No why should it, I've got all I need and all I want" She said raising one hand to his face and then using the other hand to grab his hand and place it on her stomach and smiling.
"Spike."
"Yeah"
"Now we are getting married are you finally gonna tell me your surname?
"Err." He said hesitating
"Oh come on, you have to tell me seeing as it's gonna be mine."
Spike looked at her smiling face smiling back.
"Ok my luv, its William Crawford."
"See now that's a lovely name," Buffy looked up into the air dreamily, "Hmmm, Buffy Crawford I like it."
"Well pet were gonna share it soon."
"Spike, you are the most amazing man in this world you know that?"
"Thank you luv," They sat in each other's arms for the rest of the party while watching Willow and Kennedy kissing in the corner, Dawn asleep with her head on Xanders lap and what they were looking at the most was the closeness between Angel and Faith
*~*~*~*~*
"Angel?" Faith asked while sitting between his legs lying on his chest.
"Yeah."
"What do you really think about B and Spike getting married, I mean you love Buffy right." Faith said looking down at her hands knowing what she wanted him to say.
"Oh yeah of course I love Buffy..." He said, she then realised that's not the answer she wanted and started to fidget to get up from his chest only to find him pull her down again.
"But I'm not in love with Buffy anymore, she is in love with Spike and she is happy look at them," he said nodding towards them, Buffy sat in Spikes arms falling asleep as he rubbed circles on her stomach.
"Yeah there quite a picture ain't they." She said chuckling and then looked up, Faiths eyes met Angels as she smiled, he smiled back and started to lean in for a kiss until they both jumped as they heard Spike pick Buffy up in his arms and shout to everyone.
"All right then people, I'll be seeing ya, my lovely fiancé here needs her sleep." He said with a big smile on his face at the word fiancé.
"Night Spike"
"Goodnight" Spike heard as he head towards the door, Spike paused as he stopped in front of Angel and Faith.
"Ooo and goodnight to you two." He said with a grin. Faith turned round and looked at Angel,
"What did he mean by that?" Faith said confused,
"Oh its just Spike, just ignore him." Once again Faith and Angels eyes were locked and they leant in and shared a small kiss before Faith broke it and watched Angel get embarrassed,
"Faith I'm sorry, I just..." Faith silenced him by putting a finger to his mouth and snuggling down into his chest, Angel wrapped his arms around her and heard her fall asleep.
After a while Willow and Kennedy ran out of the hotel holding hands followed shortly by Xander carrying Dawn.
Angel stayed in that spot for hours watching Faith sleep until he realised the sun would be rising soon so he carefully lifted Faith and carried her up the stairs to her bedroom, once there he placed her on the bed and took off her shoes and slipped her under the covers, he stood back and looked at her and smiled. 'Wow she is beautiful' he thought before turning round to leave,
"Angel." He heard from behind him.
He turned round to see Faiths deep brown eyes looking into his, Angel didn't know what came over him but he basically ran over to Faith and started to kiss her, they stayed like that for a few minutes before he broke the hold and looked in to her eyes
"You need some sleep I should go," He said moving from her arms to leave but she grabbed his arm and whispered
"Erm well could you I mean if you want to I mean you don't have to but can you like, stay." He nodded and put one arm around her and let her snuggle into his chest and fall back to sleep.
But I just have one little message about the title, the title MY EX means all the ex's so even if it looks like the Ex is good or on Spike or Buffys side, keep an eye on them, and Riley's plan... just the beginning people, that's why I love this story so much so stick with it

"With some help." He said looking at Faith

"Nah B I wouldn't do that to you... again." She said glancing at Angel. Buffy looked at him and then back at Faith and smiled, she looked around at everything as she backed back up to Spike and wrapped her arms around his waist
"This is great, thank you guys."
Everyone smiled and looked at Angel who was supposed to que the music once Buffy was down stairs but was to busy looking at Faith then realised everyone was looking at him.
"What," Angel said, Buffy and Spike looked at each other and back and Angel as they both saw who Angel was looking at with a glint in his eyes.
"Oh right the music, sorry." He said running in to his office Spike bent down and whispered into Buffys ear
"Was it my imagination or was..."
"Angel checking out Faith" Buffy said finishing his sentence "Oh yeah." They both chuckled as they saw Faith look at Angel when he wasn't looking and Angel look at Faith when she wasn't looking.
*~*~*~*~*
It was about two hours through the party, once Buffy had finished showing everyone her ring and after she called Giles to tell him the news, she sat in Spikes lap
"You planned all this."
"Anything for you my beautiful fiancé."
"Oh Spike," She said before leaning in for a passionate kiss.
They sat next to the front desk and made out for about ten minutes before they broke the hold and looked around to find everyone glancing and laughing,
"Oops forgot the lack of privacy." She said looking in to his eyes and stroking his face, then Spike glanced at the stairs where Angel was leaning on the wall with Faith smiling and lying on his chest, Spike prodded Buffy and nodded his head at them, Buffy looked at Spike then followed his eye line to the pair that looked in deep conversation she turned round and smiled at Spike and then looked back at them, Buffy leaned back into Spike so her back was on his chest and her mouth was by his ear so they could whisper to each other, "Well, look at the gel king." Spike said smirking
"Do you think something's going on?" She asked her future husband and father of her child.
"I dunno maybe, would that bother you?" He asked curious of what she would say
"No why should it, I've got all I need and all I want" She said raising one hand to his face and then using the other hand to grab his hand and place it on her stomach and smiling.
"Spike."
"Yeah"
"Now we are getting married are you finally gonna tell me your surname?
"Err." He said hesitating
"Oh come on, you have to tell me seeing as it's gonna be mine."
Spike looked at her smiling face smiling back.
"Ok my luv, its William Crawford."
"See now that's a lovely name," Buffy looked up into the air dreamily, "Hmmm, Buffy Crawford I like it."
"Well pet were gonna share it soon."
"Spike, you are the most amazing man in this world you know that?"
"Thank you luv," They sat in each other's arms for the rest of the party while watching Willow and Kennedy kissing in the corner, Dawn asleep with her head on Xanders lap and what they were looking at the most was the closeness between Angel and Faith
*~*~*~*~*
"Angel?" Faith asked while sitting between his legs lying on his chest.
"Yeah."
"What do you really think about B and Spike getting married, I mean you love Buffy right." Faith said looking down at her hands knowing what she wanted him to say.
"Oh yeah of course I love Buffy..." He said, she then realised that's not the answer she wanted and started to fidget to get up from his chest only to find him pull her down again.
"But I'm not in love with Buffy anymore, she is in love with Spike and she is happy look at them," he said nodding towards them, Buffy sat in Spikes arms falling asleep as he rubbed circles on her stomach.
"Yeah there quite a picture ain't they." She said chuckling and then looked up, Faiths eyes met Angels as she smiled, he smiled back and started to lean in for a kiss until they both jumped as they heard Spike pick Buffy up in his arms and shout to everyone.
"All right then people, I'll be seeing ya, my lovely fiancé here needs her sleep." He said with a big smile on his face at the word fiancé.
"Night Spike"
"Goodnight" Spike heard as he head towards the door, Spike paused as he stopped in front of Angel and Faith.
"Ooo and goodnight to you two." He said with a grin. Faith turned round and looked at Angel,
"What did he mean by that?" Faith said confused,
"Oh its just Spike, just ignore him." Once again Faith and Angels eyes were locked and they leant in and shared a small kiss before Faith broke it and watched Angel get embarrassed,
"Faith I'm sorry, I just..." Faith silenced him by putting a finger to his mouth and snuggling down into his chest, Angel wrapped his arms around her and heard her fall asleep.
After a while Willow and Kennedy ran out of the hotel holding hands followed shortly by Xander carrying Dawn.
Angel stayed in that spot for hours watching Faith sleep until he realised the sun would be rising soon so he carefully lifted Faith and carried her up the stairs to her bedroom, once there he placed her on the bed and took off her shoes and slipped her under the covers, he stood back and looked at her and smiled. 'Wow she is beautiful' he thought before turning round to leave,
"Angel." He heard from behind him.
He turned round to see Faiths deep brown eyes looking into his, Angel didn't know what came over him but he basically ran over to Faith and started to kiss her, they stayed like that for a few minutes before he broke the hold and looked in to her eyes
"You need some sleep I should go," He said moving from her arms to leave but she grabbed his arm and whispered
"Erm well could you I mean if you want to I mean you don't have to but can you like, stay." He nodded and put one arm around her and let her snuggle into his chest and fall back to sleep.
