Chapter Seven: Love
Authors Notes: When you picture Buffy and Spikes house, picture the old Summers house back on Revello Drive.
When Faith woke up she searched around the bed for Angel only to find he was gone, she looked at the clock, it said 7:45 she got dressed and went down stairs and spotted Fred cleaning and Gunn cleaning some weapons that he had to keep him occupied.
"Where's Angel." Faith asked as soon as she got down stairs
"Morning to you too, Angel gone to fix some stuff at the office, hey how did everything go last night."
"What, nothing happened last night." She said almost biting Gunn's head off
"Didn't Spike propose last night, you know the big party that made me have to stay at the office to replace Spike for the night."
"Oh right yeah everything went good, she said yes."
"Was there any doubt she would."
He said smiling and looking down while he polished his axe and smiling as even he knew how close and in love they were and he only worked with Spike an he hardly knew Buffy.
"Not really, but Spike was still worried, do you know when Angel will be back." She said not really caring enough to talk about Buffy and Spike right now.
"No he said that to tell you when you woke up that you could talk later."
Faith all of a sudden had a worried look on her face and ran towards the door and grabbed her coat shouting to Gunn before she went out, "I'm going to see Buffy, I'll be back later."
Faith grabbed her car keys out her pocket and jumped in to her small two seater yellow convertible and sped towards Buffy and Spikes house. She screeched to a halt outside and jumped out, she saw as Buffy looked out her bed room window and quickly run from it, Buffy could see the panic in Faiths eyes when she opened the door before Faith could knock it because Spike was still asleep upstairs as he had spent all night watching Buffy sleep when she woke up she found him saying, "My wife, your mummy is going to be my wife, my wife." To her stomach as he started to nod of, carefully ran her fingers through his hair, which always made him fall asleep once she heard him start to purr she crept out of bed to let him sleep.
"Faith what's wrong," she said to her friend as she came in and slammed herself on the couch.
"B, I need your help, you like my best friend you know that right."
"Yeah, Faith you too, now tell me what's wrong."
"Ok," She said getting up and pacing the room "Me and Angel we were pretty comfortable last night right." Buffy nodded. "Ok well when everybody left Angel he carried me up to bed and then all of a sudden we were kissing and..."
"Oh god, Angel hasn't lost his soul has he?"
"No, what kind of girl do you think I am." Buffy raised her eyebrows at her, as she knows Faith doesn't waste time with men. "Ok don't answer that." Buffy chuckled at her friend and then let her carry on. "Well he stayed and held me all night and then, when I woke up this morning he was gone and..." Faith slumped down on to the couch and Buffy moved next to her and put an arm around her shoulders while Faith started to cry
"Ok I'm opening up now, so don't laugh or I'll have to kick your ass, pregnant or not, I just wanted him to be there, you know and now he's gonna hate me because I made him stay and we kissed and now our friendship is ruined and I just really want him with me right now, I've got this feeling in my stomach, I don't know what it is but I can't eat and every time I close my eyes I see him and I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me."
She then broke down and cried in Buffys arms as Buffy looked around and saw a shirtless Spike walking down the stairs rubbing his eyes, he spotted the women and pointed confused, and Buffy simply mouthed "Angel." He nodded and mouthed to her "Breakfast."
And she nodded and smiled at her future husband as he made is way to the kitchen.
"If you tell anyone I was crying I will be forced to kill you, I got a rep to protect you know." Faith said raising her head to look at Buffy,
"I know." Buffy said smiling
"Buffy," Faith said looking down into her hands "Tell me what's wrong with me."
Buffy smiled at her friend and moved a strand of hair away from her face.
"Faith, I think you're in love."
Faith looked at Buffy like she had just told her that someone had died.
"What."
"You are in love with Angel." Buffy repeated
"No I cant be in love, no I mean its Angel, Buffy." She said getting up and pacing the room.
"Yes it is Angel, and if I remember the way he was looking at you yesterday I think he might feel the same." Buffy said still smiling
Faith sat down next to Buffy again and looked down nervously "Do you really think he feels something for me?"
"Are you admitting you feel something for him?"
Faith paused as she thought about it for a second and then finally said "Yes."
"Then go and talk to him."
She suddenly got up and started to pace again "Oh no I am not humiliating myself by going up to Angel and going, 'Oh hi Angel I know we kissed and spent the night in the same bed last night and then you walked out on me this morning but I just want to tell you that I love you and do you feel the same?' Yeah that would end well."
Buffy all of a sudden had an idea. "Hold on I've got a idea, Spike honey, could you come here please."
Spike came in holding a plate of toast in a pair of grey joggers with his hair all messed up
"Yeah, morning Faith."
"Hey blondie," Faith said wiping her face free of the tears.
"Spike you're going to work today right." Buffy asked
"Yeah." He asked slowly and suspiciously, as he didn't know what she was getting at
"And you're going to see Angel right." She said smiling and glancing round at Faith then looking back at Spike
"Yeah but what does that have to do with..." He suddenly clicked on that Buffy want him to do some detective work
"Oh no, no way Buffy." He said turning round and getting ready to walk out the living room before he felt Buffy grab his arm.
"Please Spike, do it for me," She said reaching up and kissing him quickly "Plus you owe Faith for the help yesterday." She said lifting her ringed to his face with a smile.
He had nearly forgotten, he couldn't have done half of yesterday with out Faith, and she was the one that told Buffys friends that it was ok if Buffy and Spike got married because they were in love.
"Fine I'll do what ever you want me to do but its only because I owe you," He said pointing at Faith, "And I love you," He said pointing down at Buffy and kissing the end of her nose.
"Ok this is what you've got to say." She said pulling him to the couch and sitting him between her and Faith.
*~*~*~*~*~ After Spike had finished his patrolling and after the groups reported to him he made his way to Angels office,
"Hey Spike, anything happen to night?"
"No nothing out the ordinary some vamps a couple of demons." Spike said taking a seat on Angel's desk where Angel was doing some paper work
"Ok."
"So, Angel saw you get cosy with Faith last night,"
"Yeah" He said averting his eyes from Spikes
"So, did you shag her then,"
Angel dropped his pen and looked at Spike. "Ok Spike three things, one nothing happened I just took her to bed which we only *slept* in, two if we did *shag* would I be here now and three what is it to you anyway.
"Look don't tell Buffy ok." He said taking a deep breath "She'd kill me if she knew Id told you and so would Faith so id have two slayers on my arse so if I tell you you've got to promise not to say I told you ok.
"Ok I promise."
Spike took another deep breath and looked Angel in the eye so he would know he was serious "Faiths in love with you."
"What, no she isn't." He said getting up from his seat
"Err yes she bloody well is, heard her myself, had the bint crying at our house at quarter past 8 this morning, woke me up she did."
"She was crying, why?"
"Err because when she woke up this morning you were gone, came round to ours saying that something was wrong with her and that Buffy had to tell her what was wrong with her, Buffy said that she was in love with you and then they managed to get me to come and see if you felt the same, god I'm such a Nancy boy, so then do you."
Angel thought about it for a second, the kissed the shared was amazing and he hadn't been able to get her out of his head all day
"Yes"
"Then go and tell her you bloody poof, she'll be at our house, she's trying to avoid you." Spike said as he walked out the office.
"Spike," Spike turned around "Thanks"
"Just come and sought it out, I've got enough emotional women in the house with a pregnant Buffy to live with."
"Oh you love it."
"Every second mate."
*~*~*~*~* Once Spike had come home, Buffy and Faith were in the kitchen, "Hey." He said coming in a walking over to Buffy and gripping her softly from behind and kissing her head then coming to her front kneeling down and kissing her stomach "And hello my beautiful son,"
Buffy pulled him up and sat him down "Its gonna be a girl and what did Angel say."
She said as Faith came round to stand in front of him so both slayers were standing in front of Spike with their arms crossed.
"Erm this and that." He said getting up only to have them both push him down.
"Spike." They said in unison
"Ok I asked him how he felt about Faith and he said, "Spike paused as he could see the were itching to hear what he would say next, "Is there any buffalo wings I really feel like 'em today," He said with a grin
"Spike!!! " The women yelled in unison.
"Ok, ok he said he loves you ok, now Buffy I'm serious, wings,"
"Left overs are in the fridge," she said turning round to a trembling Faith and gripping her arms for support
"Oh no." Faith said looking around trying to think as Spike walked over to the fridge
"It's going to be ok, you can talk to him when you're ready." Buffy said as they heard the back door in the kitchen knock, Spike looked out the window and smiled and turned back to Buffy and Faith and started to walk back to Buffy and grabbed her arm to pull her towards the door,
"Actually you can talk to him now."
"What, Spike what are you doing..." Buffy started before Spike opened the door with Angel standing in front of her "Hey Angel, Spike and I were just leaving, our -own –home so ok see ya" She said letting Spike pull her out.
Angel walked in and Faith got up and turned round to get a drink of water, "Faith, hey"
"Hello, Angel"
"How you doing?"
"Five by Five." Not looking at him
"Err Faith about this morning, I just thought..."
"Its cool Angel really, if you thought last night was a mistake its fine." Faith said looking out the window in front of the sink.
"Faith it was anything but a mistake, I just thought you wouldn't want me there when you woke up."
"I would have given anything for you to have been there when I woke up Angel." She said turning round and looking into Angel's eyes.
Angel ran round to Faith and placed his hands on her shoulders "Faith I am so sorry, if id known," He stopped and looked in to her eyes. "Faith, I talked to Spike today and he made me realise something,"
"Angel, you don't have to..."
"I'm in love with you Faith and if you don't feel the same then... "
"I do"
"Really."
"I love you Angel, I don't have a clue how or why but I do," A smile grew on both their faces at each other's words
"Well, what are we gonna do about this"
"Well first I just want to do this," Faith said before grabbing Angels head and pulling him down for a passionate kiss, Angel managed to reach down and lift Faith up to sit on the sink she was standing next to and move himself between her legs and wrapping his arms around her. They made out for as long as the could before they heard the back door open and Buffy and Spike walked in smiling
"Well, I'm glad our kitchen is the new make out place." Buffy said looking up at Spike.
"Yeah and we don't want certain people to be losing certain souls do we," Spike said looking at Angel
"And especially on our kitchen sink," Buffy said looking at Angel and Faith raising her eyebrows.
Angel turned round to look at a smiling Faith, who had jumped off the sink "I'll see you when I get home I've got to get back to the office."
"Ok" She said before he leaned down and kissed her quickly on the lips and headed to the door, he quickly nodded at Spike and walked out
As soon as he closed the door, Buffy ran over to her friend with a big smile on her face
"Oh my god, what happened tell me everything I want details," Buffy said frantically.
Spike slipped out the back door to go after Angel to leave the girls to have their girls talk.
*~*~*~*~*~*~ Spike walked out in to his back yard, and found Angel leaning up against the wall, Spike and Angel had gotten closer over time and Angel also had realised that Spike and Buffy were in love and that he actually thought they were good together, sometimes when Spike would come to tell him if there were any nasties, they would chat about Buffy and how she was doing or Angel on rare occasions would talk about how he missed Cordy, to both off the men they had become, friends.
"So you did it, I gather" Spike said leaning next to him
"How did you guess?" Angel said with a smile
"How bout the round of tonsil hockey we walked in on."
"Yeah, she's amazing Spike, she's ...just amazing."
"I'm glad for you mate, umn I know we haven't exactly been friends for a few hundred years and you weren't happy about me and Buffy,"
"Spike I'm fine with you and Buffy."
"I know, but I think we've gotten closer over the past few months" Spike started to get nervous and watch himself draw circles with his feet on the ground. "And now I'm getting married and I just..." Spike looked up to a confused Angel
"Oh bloody hell, I just wanted to you know ask you if you want it to be my best man " Angel was taken back by what was coming out of Spikes mouth,
"Spike..."
"Well I mean you don't have to but look at all you've done for me and Buffy, you got us a house, you gave me a job, this is just a thank you."
"Fine if you don't want to I'll..." Spike said getting ready to turn around and walk back in to the house
"No wait, Id be honoured" Spike and Angel exchanged smiles and Angel extended his hand to Spike
"Thank you Spike." Angel said shaking Spikes hand and patting him on the back with the other. There moment was interrupted by the sound of Buffys voice from inside, "Spike!!!"
"Yeah luv." He called
"I'm out of ketchup!!!" Spike and Angel chuckled at what they were hearing.
Spike and Angel started to walk to Angel's car "I'll drop you off on my way to the office," Angels said still chuckling
"And do you know what the amazing thing about it is, I bought her five bottles just this morning."
*~*~*~*~*~ Buffy and Faith sat in the kitchen, Faith had a glass of wine and Buffy had her bottle of ketchup, "And he said he was in love with me and I said I was in love with him and then we kissed, that's about it."
"That's it, just like that."
"Yup, then you and blondie walked in, wow he is an amazing kisser."
Buffy smiled a started to remember what it was like to kiss Angel. "Yeah, he really is."
Faith looked at Buffy who was sitting next to her, Buffy realised what she had just said "Not that I want to kiss Angel, I'm just saying he is good not that I think about kissing Angel because I'm with Spike now, I love to kiss Spike now because I love Spike." She said as quickly as she could all in one breath.
"Good, because I'm the only one that will be kissing Angel from now on."
"Good, oh crap I'm out of ketchup," Buffy looked around as she realised she couldn't see Spike.
"Where is Spike, I need him to get me some more ketchup."
"I don't know I was just all in the air from the kiss," Faith said dreamily.
"Spike!!!!" Buffy shouted figuring he couldn't have gone far.
"Yeah luv." Faith and Buffy heard
"I'm out of ketchup!!!" She yelled through her empty bottle in the bin.
"He'll get some for me, he only bought me five bottles today, he must have not hade enough money on him to buy me enough."
Buffy and Faith got up and made their way to the living room, to sit on the couch.
"Five, Buffy, how many bottles of ketchup do you get through a day."
"Oh only 12."
"You're shittin me right."
"No." Buffy said slowly confused at why Faith was so shocked
"B, you're a character, I can tell you that." Faith said chuckling
Faith and Buffy didn't realised Willow walk in through the front door and start to listen to their conversation.
"Faith, you've been a great friend to me, and Spike tells me he wouldn't have been able to set up the great proposal with out your help," Faith nodded proudly. "And I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to be my maid of honour?" Willow couldn't believe what she was hearing, Buffy was asking Faith to be her made of honour and not her. "Wow, B you really mean it."
"Yes"
"What about Willow?"
"Yeah Buffy what about me?" Willow said as she came round the corner into the living room and face Buffy and Faith, Faith shot up out her seat and help Buffy stand up.
"Willow I just..." Buffy started seeing the tears well up in her best friends eyes
"What thought oh we don't need good old Willow any more we got a new friend, push aside the friend that stood by you through thick and thin for the woman that tried to kill you on numerous occasions."
"Willow, first of all everyone has forgiven Faith for all the things she did in the past, and second of all me asking Faith to be my maid of honour is a thank her for the help she did for the proposal."
"And what about a thank you to me for being your best friend for seven years," She said before turning round and heading for the door.
"Willow..." Buffy started before her and Faith heard the door close.
"Oh shit." Buffy said slumping down on the couch as Faith slowly sat next to her
"Buffy you can go for Willow if you want I don't mind." Faith said disappointedly
"No, Faith I love Willow, but I want you to do this for me."
"Ok, of course I'll be your maid of honour." She said with a smile
"Thank you." Buffy said wrapping her arms around Faith and as she did Buffy started to crying.
"Hey no need to cry about it." Faith said as they broke the hold
"Hormones make me cry at the stupidest times, I started crying when Spike was kissing me last night." She said chuckling then everything came back to reality. "What am I gonna do about Willow."
*~*~*~*~*~*~* Willow ran out the door with tears streaming down her face she was very upset about Buffy not asking her, she was so upset she didn't see Spike come towards her with a box full of ketchup, she ran in to him "Hey, watch it Red you nearly ran me over."
"I'm so sorry." Willow said looking up at him
Spike realised she was up set and put the box down and pulled her in for a hug
"Willow what's wrong." Spike said to the red head crying in to his shoulder.
"Buffy she, she asked Faith to be her maid of honour,"
"Oh good."
Willow broke away from him and looked with shock into his eyes
"Good!!!"
"Yeah didn't Buffy tell you." Spike asked
"Tell me what Spike." Willow said starting to get frustrated
"Well another reason Buffy didn't ask you to be her maid of honour is she wanted a more important job for you, she wants you to be second guardian to the baby, like a god mother." Spike said Willow was speechless, she had never expected that much responsibility and trust "We just thought, maid of honour is only for a day, but god mother, that's for life"
"Wow of course I'll be a god mother that's great."
"Well that's settled then, now come on lets go and sought this thing out with Buffy." Spike said as he put his arm around Willows shoulders and lead her inside the house.
*~*~*~*~*~* Faith sat there with Buffy crying and talking about what she was gonna do about Willow, when they heard the front door open "Spike is that you, have you got my ketchup." Buffy shouted
"Yeah, and I brought along a friend too." He said as he appeared with the box of ketchup and Willow next to him
"Willow." She said getting up and running towards her.
"Buffy, I'm sorry if I got mad, if you want Faith to be your maid of honour its fine by me really."
"Really, because I don't want to upset you, you're my best friend."
"I know you're my best friend too," The two friends hugged as Faith and Spike looked on with a smile.
"Buffy, Spike told me about the guardian thing,"
Buffy looked at a smiling Spike then back at Willow
"And you'll do it right cause I really wanted you to do it."
"Yes of course." Willow said before hugging her again all of a sudden Buffy started crying
"Hey what's wrong?" Willow asked worried
"Oh I'm sorry, its just I'm so happy." She said wiping her tears away
"I love you guys," She said before turning round and walking to Spike
"And I love you my wonderful, amazing, fiancé." She said wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him to a kiss.
"I love you too pet, but we all know that you just want your ketchup." Spike said as he leaned his forehead against hers
"What, no, well maybe, I mean yes, yes I do were is my ketchup I need my ketchup." She said frantically looking around Spike then she spotted the ketchup box, Faith, Spike and Willow chuckled at the site of Buffy as she dove in grabbed a whole bottle and opened it and started drinking from it straight from the bottle. After she drank the hole bottle she threw it in the bin, grabbed another one and hugged Spike
"I do love you though." She said in to his chest
"I know you do." He said kissing the top of her head

"How you doing?"
"Five by Five." Not looking at him

"Its cool Angel really, if you thought last night was a mistake its fine." Faith said looking out the window in front of the sink.
"Faith it was anything but a mistake, I just thought you wouldn't want me there when you woke up."
"I would have given anything for you to have been there when I woke up Angel." She said turning round and looking into Angel's eyes.
Angel ran round to Faith and placed his hands on her shoulders "Faith I am so sorry, if id known," He stopped and looked in to her eyes. "Faith, I talked to Spike today and he made me realise something,"
"Angel, you don't have to..."
"I'm in love with you Faith and if you don't feel the same then... "
"I do"
"Really."
"I love you Angel, I don't have a clue how or why but I do," A smile grew on both their faces at each other's words
"Well, what are we gonna do about this"
"Well first I just want to do this," Faith said before grabbing Angels head and pulling him down for a passionate kiss, Angel managed to reach down and lift Faith up to sit on the sink she was standing next to and move himself between her legs and wrapping his arms around her. They made out for as long as the could before they heard the back door open and Buffy and Spike walked in smiling
"Well, I'm glad our kitchen is the new make out place." Buffy said looking up at Spike.
"Yeah and we don't want certain people to be losing certain souls do we," Spike said looking at Angel
"And especially on our kitchen sink," Buffy said looking at Angel and Faith raising her eyebrows.
Angel turned round to look at a smiling Faith, who had jumped off the sink "I'll see you when I get home I've got to get back to the office."
"Ok" She said before he leaned down and kissed her quickly on the lips and headed to the door, he quickly nodded at Spike and walked out
As soon as he closed the door, Buffy ran over to her friend with a big smile on her face
"Oh my god, what happened tell me everything I want details," Buffy said frantically.
Spike slipped out the back door to go after Angel to leave the girls to have their girls talk.
*~*~*~*~*~*~ Spike walked out in to his back yard, and found Angel leaning up against the wall, Spike and Angel had gotten closer over time and Angel also had realised that Spike and Buffy were in love and that he actually thought they were good together, sometimes when Spike would come to tell him if there were any nasties, they would chat about Buffy and how she was doing or Angel on rare occasions would talk about how he missed Cordy, to both off the men they had become, friends.
"So you did it, I gather" Spike said leaning next to him
"How did you guess?" Angel said with a smile
"How bout the round of tonsil hockey we walked in on."
"Yeah, she's amazing Spike, she's ...just amazing."
"I'm glad for you mate, umn I know we haven't exactly been friends for a few hundred years and you weren't happy about me and Buffy,"
"Spike I'm fine with you and Buffy."
"I know, but I think we've gotten closer over the past few months" Spike started to get nervous and watch himself draw circles with his feet on the ground. "And now I'm getting married and I just..." Spike looked up to a confused Angel
"Oh bloody hell, I just wanted to you know ask you if you want it to be my best man " Angel was taken back by what was coming out of Spikes mouth,
"Spike..."
"Well I mean you don't have to but look at all you've done for me and Buffy, you got us a house, you gave me a job, this is just a thank you."
"Fine if you don't want to I'll..." Spike said getting ready to turn around and walk back in to the house
"No wait, Id be honoured" Spike and Angel exchanged smiles and Angel extended his hand to Spike
"Thank you Spike." Angel said shaking Spikes hand and patting him on the back with the other. There moment was interrupted by the sound of Buffys voice from inside, "Spike!!!"
"Yeah luv." He called
"I'm out of ketchup!!!" Spike and Angel chuckled at what they were hearing.
Spike and Angel started to walk to Angel's car "I'll drop you off on my way to the office," Angels said still chuckling
"And do you know what the amazing thing about it is, I bought her five bottles just this morning."
*~*~*~*~*~ Buffy and Faith sat in the kitchen, Faith had a glass of wine and Buffy had her bottle of ketchup, "And he said he was in love with me and I said I was in love with him and then we kissed, that's about it."
"That's it, just like that."
"Yup, then you and blondie walked in, wow he is an amazing kisser."
Buffy smiled a started to remember what it was like to kiss Angel. "Yeah, he really is."
Faith looked at Buffy who was sitting next to her, Buffy realised what she had just said "Not that I want to kiss Angel, I'm just saying he is good not that I think about kissing Angel because I'm with Spike now, I love to kiss Spike now because I love Spike." She said as quickly as she could all in one breath.
"Good, because I'm the only one that will be kissing Angel from now on."
"Good, oh crap I'm out of ketchup," Buffy looked around as she realised she couldn't see Spike.
"Where is Spike, I need him to get me some more ketchup."
"I don't know I was just all in the air from the kiss," Faith said dreamily.
"Spike!!!!" Buffy shouted figuring he couldn't have gone far.
"Yeah luv." Faith and Buffy heard
"I'm out of ketchup!!!" She yelled through her empty bottle in the bin.
"He'll get some for me, he only bought me five bottles today, he must have not hade enough money on him to buy me enough."
Buffy and Faith got up and made their way to the living room, to sit on the couch.
"Five, Buffy, how many bottles of ketchup do you get through a day."
"Oh only 12."
"You're shittin me right."
"No." Buffy said slowly confused at why Faith was so shocked
"B, you're a character, I can tell you that." Faith said chuckling
Faith and Buffy didn't realised Willow walk in through the front door and start to listen to their conversation.
"Faith, you've been a great friend to me, and Spike tells me he wouldn't have been able to set up the great proposal with out your help," Faith nodded proudly. "And I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to be my maid of honour?" Willow couldn't believe what she was hearing, Buffy was asking Faith to be her made of honour and not her. "Wow, B you really mean it."
"Yes"
"What about Willow?"
"Yeah Buffy what about me?" Willow said as she came round the corner into the living room and face Buffy and Faith, Faith shot up out her seat and help Buffy stand up.
"Willow I just..." Buffy started seeing the tears well up in her best friends eyes
"What thought oh we don't need good old Willow any more we got a new friend, push aside the friend that stood by you through thick and thin for the woman that tried to kill you on numerous occasions."
"Willow, first of all everyone has forgiven Faith for all the things she did in the past, and second of all me asking Faith to be my maid of honour is a thank her for the help she did for the proposal."
"And what about a thank you to me for being your best friend for seven years," She said before turning round and heading for the door.
"Willow..." Buffy started before her and Faith heard the door close.
"Oh shit." Buffy said slumping down on the couch as Faith slowly sat next to her
"Buffy you can go for Willow if you want I don't mind." Faith said disappointedly
"No, Faith I love Willow, but I want you to do this for me."
"Ok, of course I'll be your maid of honour." She said with a smile
"Thank you." Buffy said wrapping her arms around Faith and as she did Buffy started to crying.
"Hey no need to cry about it." Faith said as they broke the hold
"Hormones make me cry at the stupidest times, I started crying when Spike was kissing me last night." She said chuckling then everything came back to reality. "What am I gonna do about Willow."
*~*~*~*~*~*~* Willow ran out the door with tears streaming down her face she was very upset about Buffy not asking her, she was so upset she didn't see Spike come towards her with a box full of ketchup, she ran in to him "Hey, watch it Red you nearly ran me over."
"I'm so sorry." Willow said looking up at him
Spike realised she was up set and put the box down and pulled her in for a hug
"Willow what's wrong." Spike said to the red head crying in to his shoulder.
"Buffy she, she asked Faith to be her maid of honour,"
"Oh good."
Willow broke away from him and looked with shock into his eyes
"Good!!!"
"Yeah didn't Buffy tell you." Spike asked
"Tell me what Spike." Willow said starting to get frustrated
"Well another reason Buffy didn't ask you to be her maid of honour is she wanted a more important job for you, she wants you to be second guardian to the baby, like a god mother." Spike said Willow was speechless, she had never expected that much responsibility and trust "We just thought, maid of honour is only for a day, but god mother, that's for life"
"Wow of course I'll be a god mother that's great."
"Well that's settled then, now come on lets go and sought this thing out with Buffy." Spike said as he put his arm around Willows shoulders and lead her inside the house.
*~*~*~*~*~* Faith sat there with Buffy crying and talking about what she was gonna do about Willow, when they heard the front door open "Spike is that you, have you got my ketchup." Buffy shouted
"Yeah, and I brought along a friend too." He said as he appeared with the box of ketchup and Willow next to him
"Willow." She said getting up and running towards her.
"Buffy, I'm sorry if I got mad, if you want Faith to be your maid of honour its fine by me really."
"Really, because I don't want to upset you, you're my best friend."
"I know you're my best friend too," The two friends hugged as Faith and Spike looked on with a smile.
"Buffy, Spike told me about the guardian thing,"
Buffy looked at a smiling Spike then back at Willow
"And you'll do it right cause I really wanted you to do it."
"Yes of course." Willow said before hugging her again all of a sudden Buffy started crying
"Hey what's wrong?" Willow asked worried
"Oh I'm sorry, its just I'm so happy." She said wiping her tears away
"I love you guys," She said before turning round and walking to Spike
"And I love you my wonderful, amazing, fiancé." She said wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him to a kiss.
"I love you too pet, but we all know that you just want your ketchup." Spike said as he leaned his forehead against hers
"What, no, well maybe, I mean yes, yes I do were is my ketchup I need my ketchup." She said frantically looking around Spike then she spotted the ketchup box, Faith, Spike and Willow chuckled at the site of Buffy as she dove in grabbed a whole bottle and opened it and started drinking from it straight from the bottle. After she drank the hole bottle she threw it in the bin, grabbed another one and hugged Spike
"I do love you though." She said in to his chest
"I know you do." He said kissing the top of her head
