Chapter Eight: Party

Two Months later The big day was nearly here, everything was organized, Buffy and Spike would get married in the gardens out side the hotel, this was so they could get married in the day and also have Angel there, everything had been arranged until Giles came back to give Buffy away and he brought back a spell to make Angel human for one day, so they moved the wedding to be in the sun as much as possible as Angel wanted to take advantage. The alter type arch Angel had in the gardens was covered with red and white roses. The reception would be inside the hotel.

Buffy was now six months pregnant and quite round, Spike thought she looked unbelievably beautiful like this and would spend a lot of time taking pictures of her or filming her with his video camera.

Angel and Faith had got pretty serious over the couple of months, which must have been quite difficult for Faith at the start as she told Buffy she had not had a serious relationship in her life, but they were close.

Angel and Xander were busy setting up the bachelor party, while Giles put the finishing touches to the wedding preparations, while Faith Willow and Dawn set up the bachelorette party. Buffy and Spike on the other hand did not want to be apart from each other, Spike got Angel to let him off work, like a maternity leave for men so Spike still got paid. Buffy and Spike would spend all day either talking about the wedding and the future, talking about the baby, arguing about the baby, decorating and making the house baby safe or going out together and shopping for the baby,

It was a week before the wedding and Buffy and Spike roamed the LA mall for baby things and as Buffy described it, 'cool maternity clothes that did not resemble tents.' Spike waited outside a row of changing rooms as Buffy tried something on, All of a sudden Spike felt hand around his eyes, he smiled as he got up to turn around and hug Buffy "Ooo let me guess err a beautiful blond." Spike said as her hands were still on his eyes as he started to turn around.

"Yes well done my smart blondie bear I knew you would want me back I mean I wasn't sure since it's been like two years or something but then I was over there and I saw you ..."

Spike stumbled back into his seat as he was faced with not Buffy but Harmony.

"Err Harmony, I didn't now it was you."

"Of coarse you did what other beautiful blond could you have been talking about." Harmony said approaching Spike as he tried to move back away from her

"That would be me." Buffy said appearing out of nowhere pulling Harmony away from Spike and standing in front of him so she was in between her and Spike, with her hands on her waist she eye balled Harmony who had hit the wall hard at the force of Buffy pulling her away, Spike let out a sigh of relief that Buffy had turned up at that time.

"Huh Buffy, see you're all fat now."

"Harmony, see you're still undead."

"Well at least I'm not fat."

"Harmony you air head I'm not fat I'm pregnant." Buffy said placing a hand on her stomach

"Oh yeah and who was stupid enough to knock you up." Harmony said snickering.

Spike stood up behind Buffy wrapping his arms around her and placing a hand on her stomach. "That would be me." He said repeating Buffys earlier words. Buffy looked up at Spike and smiled

"Oh nice plan Spike, so what are you doing getting her pregnant then turn on her when she is most vulnerable huh."

"No Harmony I am in love with Buffy."

"No you're not she's a human and she's the slayer."

"Yeah so what,"

Harmony tried to move closer to Spike "Come on my blondie bear you have me back now you don't have to fake it anymore." Buffy saw her creeping and shoved her back harder then before as Buffy started to get angry that Harmony was even trying to come near her man.

"Harmony three things ok, one don't call him blondie bear, I hate that, two he also happens to be human and three if he was faking it as you said would he have given me this." Buffy said as she proudly waved her engagement ring in her face.

"Oh my god." Harmony said excitedly grabbing Buffys hand to admire the ring, Buffy looked up and Spike rolling her eyes as she pulled back her hand. Harmony took a step back and changed her tone

"I mean oh my god." She said putting her hands on her hips to show that she didn't care. "Hey how come I never got a ring." She wined.

"Because I didn't love you pet." Spike said looking down at a smiling Buffy

"Oh and of coarse you love her." Harmony said snickering

"Well yeah I love her we wouldn't be getting married if I didn't."

"You're getting MARRIED!!!" Harmony said in shock

"Harmony, are you telling me that you looked at my engagement ring, and didn't come to the conclusion we were getting married." Buffy said to her as Spike held her as he now had both arms around her with his hand drawing circles on her stomach.

"But Spikey, I love you." Harmony said to him looking in to his eyes "After we had that fight in the crypt and I, you know backed away, I was mad at you but then I realised that I wanted you back."

Buffy and Spike looked up at each other and started laughing Buffy started to contain herself as she patted Spikes hand on her stomach for him to do the same

"Now come on Spike, we cant laugh at the fact that the airhead still thinks she can have you." Buffy said looking up at Spike before walking up to Harmony and getting in her face

"Because you can't, he is mine, you hear me, and I don't want to see you around hear again if I do well I don't know if I'll kill you because you're not really worth it are you but I might just do it for the fun of it, and as for loving Spike, he doesn't want you he wants me..." She said before turning back to Spike

"...Right baby." Buffy said as Spike walked back to her and wrapped his arms around her again

"See, so why don't you just run along." She said smiling

"Spike..." She said to him only to find that Spike just leant down and kissed Buffy on the neck

Harmony turn on her heels with tears in her eyes and ran out

Buffy and Spike started to chuckle as she walked out

"Hey Harm, not nice seeing you again." Spike shouted after her

Buffy and Spike started to laugh as Buffy turned around and reached up and kissed him "Mmmm that was fun." She said to him as he finger played with the small curls on the back of his head

"What the kiss or the Harmony bashing." He said to her

"Err both." She said before reaching up and kissing him again

Harmony turned round to say something back to them as she saw them kissing, she then realised she wanted to get back at Spike and Buffy for humiliating her like that and making fun of her feelings. Harmony kept walking out the shop and almost suddenly she was pulled in to an ally with a stake to her heart and a hand over her mouth.

"Do you want to get back at Spike." Riley said into he ear.

Harmony nodded and let him pull her away.

*~*~*~*~*~

Five days after the incident at the mall it was Thursday and two days before the wedding it was the day of the bachelor party and the hen night, Buffy and Spike didn't know and didn't care what their friends had in store for them.

It was the night of the parties, two days before so everyone could recover from there hang overs, Buffys bachelorette party would be in the hotel so that they had space and if Buffy got dizzy or tired she could go to one of the rooms, the bachelor party would be in a club around the block so if something happened with Buffy, Spike wouldn't be to far away.

"So are we ready to party." Xander said rubbing his hands together as he stood at the door.

Buffy sat in Spikes lap as he ran circles on her stomach and kissed her neck. Spike looked up as he realised he had to go

"Err you no what, I think I might sit this one out." Everyone turned to Spike and started laughing

"Spike, you cant miss your own bachelor party man, its one of the reasons you get married man." Gunn said as he patted Spike on the back.

"Go on Spike you best go." Buffy said disappointedly

"But I want to stay with you pet." He whispered to Buffy as she stood up and he held on to her hand

Angel and Xander walked over to Spike each one of them grabbed one of his arms and stood him up

"Alright alright I'm comin, do you mind if I say good bye to my wife first."

Spike turned round to a smiling Buffy "I'm not your wife yet." She said with a cheeky grin

"I know I'm just getting use to saying it." He said as he leaned in for a kiss.

"Come on." Angel said pulling Spike away from Buffy As they headed out the door Spike turned round and smiled at Buffy before getting pulled out by Angel.

"B come on lets pa..." Faith was interrupted at the site of Spike darting back through the door and run to Buffy for a passionate kiss, quickly followed by a out of breath Xander and Angel

"Sorry Faith he kind of got away from us." Xander said as they all stood round and watched Buffy and Spike.

When they broke Spike rested his forehead on Buffys. "Err hey." He breathlessly

"Hey, did you miss me in those long 3 seconds."

"Well I didn't say goodbye and that I love you."

"I love you too." She said with tears coming to her eyes they stood like that for a few seconds until Angel walked over kissed Faith and pulled Spike away.

"Bye, Buffy." He said to her

"I'll see you later." Buffy said

Buffy stood there looking at the door for a moment half expecting for Spike to burst back in. Buffys mind was bought back as she felt Faiths arm around her shoulders. "You ok B."

"Yeah, just miss him sometimes, when he's not around."

"Aww ain't love grand." Faith said with a smile, Buffy just chuckled and let Faith take her to a seat facing the door. Faith then ran up to the door and peaked outside, and then turned round to face Buffy sitting in the centre, Fred, Dawn, Vi, Rona and some of the potentials Giles brought back to train.

"Ok ladies are you ready for the time of your life, then get ready for Big Bad Ben." Faith shouted as a tall blond man came through the door from behind Faith, he was quite bulky and a well oiled chest, Buffy noticed that the man was wear a black cape and had fake fangs in his mouth.

"Oh my god." Buffy said as she watched the stripper dance over to her, Faith had put some music on. The stripper put his face in front of Buffys and signalled for her to take to fangs out of his mouth, Buffy looked around and leant in and removed the fangs with her teeth, making sure she didn't make skin contact.

She started laughing as everyone in the room started 'wooing' and cheering at her

"Spike would go mad if he knew out about this." Is all she could get out over her laughter to Dawn standing next to her.

*~*~*~*~*~

Spike, Xander, Angel, Giles, Andrew, Gunn and Wesley walked into the club that was five minutes from the hotel and went and sat down on a table that was reserved for them, the seat was red and big and was able to seat most of them while the others grabbed seats from other tables and sat while Spike sat on the big seat in the middle, Gunn ordered lots of beers and spirits as they were all laid out on the table, all of a sudden once everyone had grabbed a drink Xander stood up and told everyone to quiet down

"Ok people is everyone ready to party!!!" He shouted as everyone raised the drinks shouting 'yeah'.

"Ok my good men get ready for the time of you life, let me introduce, Crystal."

Spike was in shock as he watched Gunn and Angel pulled the table out the way and Wesley put on some music that was separate from the club and the Crystal danced over to him, she was blond and quite tall as she had long legs, she had on a short black leather skirt and a matching crop top, and what Spike found most funny was that she had a stake in her hand, it wasn't sharp but it was a stake. Crystal straddled Spike on his seat as Xander came and sat next to him while all the other guys wooed and cheered as the watched, Spike leant over to Xander and whispered "Buffy would not be happy if she knew about this."

*~*~*~*~* After a few hours Buffy was wearing a 'L' plate round her neck and a vale. Buffy and the girls started talking about everything, about guys and to Kennedy and Willow, girls, they started comparing things they had done and in the end they couldn't decide who had done more Faith or Buffy so they just left it. After a while Buffy started to get tired but she also started to missing Spike. Buffys head was leaning on Faiths shoulder; she sat up and turned to her

"Could we call them now." Faith turned round to the rest of the girls as they were all in there own conversations

"Well then girls what do you say, do you want to see what the guys are up too." Faith shouted to everyone as they all ran over to the phone, Faith then dialled Angels cell and then put the phone on speaker "Hello." The heard Angels voice

"Hey" Faith said to him

"Faith what's wrong is everything ok." Angel said, as Angel said 'Faith' Spike immediately turned round and sat next to Angel to see if something was wrong

"No no everything's fine we just wanted to say hello."

"Err *we*." Angel said confused

"Hey Angel." All the girls said at the same time

Spike and Angel looked at each other and chuckled at the sound of the drunken women.

"Hey ladies." Angel said with Spike next to the earpiece of he phone.

"Where's Spike." Buffy shouted as she pushed her way to the front and directly over the phone.

"I'm right here, baby." Spike said grabbing the whole phone away from Angel

A big smile came to both their faces at hearing each other's voices.

"Hey sweetheart, are you having a good time."

"More or less."

"What's the less." She said as the others girls carried on listening

"Well, I could never have a good time with out you by my side."

Spike chuckled as he heard a big "Awww." From every single women at the party.

"Thank you ladies, what about you are you having a good time."

Buffy was about to answer him when all the other girls all shouted 'yes' down the phone.

"That's great ladies but I kind of meant Buffy."

"Yes Spike I'm having a good time."

"Well that's ..." Spike was cut off as the phone was knocked out of his hand

"Spike, Spike are you there." Buffy said starting to get worried

"Hey its Angel, Faith take me off speaker."

Faith looked around at the girls and shook her head to say 'no way'; she put her finger to her mouth to say shh and turned back to the phone "Ok Angel I'm off, what's up, why was Spike cut off?"

"Because the stripper jumped him again, and when I say jumped I mean she actually jumping on his lap, she's all over him, I mean the lap dance ended three hours ago and she won't leave, keeps saying she gonna have Spike by the end of the night, no matter how much Spike says No she wont leave him alone, its pretty funny actually watching her on top of Spike, him struggling beneath her."

Buffy listened to every word Angel said and was seeing red she ran to the door as fast as she could, with the combination of hormones, anger and jealousy she ran all the way to the club the girls tried to run after her but had nothing against her slayer speed plus her head start.

"Faith what's going on."

"Well Buffys on her way and she is not happy, I have to go I'll see you in a minute." Faith said as she hung up the phone and ran out the door.

*~*~*~*~ Angel hung up the phone and turned to Spike who was struggling beneath the stripper, Spike looked at Angel

"She's coming isn't she?" Angel simply nodded Spike turned to the stripper who was trying to kiss his neck, he could easily push her off of him, he had done several times but he was still trying to be a gentlemen and not ruin the party. "Ok luv this is you're last warning, you best get out of here fast because if I know my fiancé, she wont be happy with you."

"Oh who cares she cant do much, she's pregnant isn't she."

"Its her being pregnant that makes me quite certain that she is very angry, and believe me you do not want to get on the wrong side of her when she's angry, so go, now, before..." Spike was cut off at the site of Buffy bursting into the club

"Oh no." Spike said as he looked up at the blond walking towards him and the blond sitting on top of him.

Buffy simply stomped towards them pulled her of Spike and slapped her across the face causing her to fall back on the floor hard.

"YOU STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM DO YOU HEAR ME!!!!" Buffy screamed at the women on the floor.

Everyone in the whole club had gone quite at the site of the petite pregnant blond who had just laid out this stripper. Crystal nodded frantically while holding her cheek, she got to her feet and ran out the club, Spike was still sitting on the seat in shock when Buffy came towards him and grabbed him by the lapels of his shirt and pulled his face towards her "IF YOU SO MUCH AS LOOK AT ANOTHER GIRL EVER I WILL CUT YOUR FUCKING BALLS OFF, GOT IT!!!"

"Absolutely, pet." He said before she crashed her lips against his in a passionate kiss.

*~*~*~*~ Buffy spent the rest of the night curled up in Spikes lap refusing to move when any of the girls tried to move her or any of the guys tried to pull Spike away she just told them to go away

"You remember I have a doctors appointment tomorrow." She said to him as she laid her head on his chest watching anybody trying to even come near them.

"Course I remember, it's for our baby in it." He said as he reached for her stomach and laid a hand on it.

A waitress came over to Buffy and Spike and laid their drinks on the table, as Buffy sat up to get her drink she spotted the waitress look at Spike and wink as soon as saw it she lunged at the waitress who backed off in shock, luckily Spike managed to pull her back down

"Buffy will you calm down pet and, stop it with the psycho bit."

"I am not PSYCHO!!!" She shouted as tears started to come down her face.

"Oh Buffy don't cry baby I'm sorry you're not psycho." He said pulling her head back down to his chest.

Angel who was dancing with Faith spotted her crying and motioned Xander to go and check to see what's going on

"Hey Buff are you ok." Xander asked

"Fine" She said still sniffling

Spike looked up at Xander and mouthed, "Hormones", Xander just nodded and smiled

"I wanna go home, I have a ketchup craving coming." She said looking up at Spike.

"Ok pet, let's go." He said as he put his arms under her knees and lifted her as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Thanks a lot everybody for the great party." Spike said to everybody

"Yeah we really appreciate it." Buffy said looking up at everyone

"Ok see ya later." Faith said from Angels arms

Spike walked out of the club with Buffy in his arms,

"Is everyone staying to party." Faith shouted to everyone

"YEAH." They all shouted as they proceeded to dance in the club.
