Chapter Forty-nine: Tangle



two months later



Since Spike got his memory back he didn't leave Buffys side for long and Buffy was glad he did that, Spike left for work for a few hours, and even then Buffy had Faith with her or Willow or Dawn, fussing over baby clothes. Faith had got herself her own apartment instead of moving back in with Angel, she still had feelings for him but she didn't want to admit it to herself or anyone else.

Andrew had come back for a break from searching for slayers and was staying at Angel's hotel until he went back to England with Giles.

Buffy for the first time in months was unbelievably happy, she had her son, her husband and all her best friends including Faith with her, and she hadn't heard from Riley in a while. She was having fun in her pregnancy, since everyone found out she was having twins they brought her two of everything, she felt so spoilt.

What Buffy wasn't seeing was the tension between Spike and Angel, Spike could see that Angel was jealous of all Spike had, and truthfully Spike couldn't blame him, but he made sure Angel got the message that Buffy and Alex were his family and that's it. But Angel wouldn't back down. He would come round everyday and help Buffy out and touch her growing stomach, feel the twins kick and to Angel, if only for a few hours he felt like it was his family, then Spike came back and kissed Buffy and Alex would run to him shouting 'Daddy daddy' and Spike would give him that, 'This is my family, back the hell off' look and reality would come back to him.

The only thing about this pregnancy that Buffy hated was her craving, it wasn't like when she was pregnant with Alex and she put ketchup on everything, this time she craved food... all the time, Spike spent three times as much money on food.

Buffy slept in a peaceful sleep as Spike was make some food for her and Alex and Andrew played in the living room, Spike came in to he living room and looked at the clock. "Alex, can you go and wash up for me mate." He said to his son, Alex nodded and ran away

"You staying for dinner?" Spike asked Andrew.

"Ok, that's if I can, Alex and I are involved in an exciting game of Lord of the Rings the board game." He said.

"Right, err do us a favour, Andy, go up stairs and wake up Buffy for us." Spike said running back to the kitchen.

Andrew grabbed his camera and ran up stairs. He opened the door to Buffy's bedroom and looked around, there was food everywhere, Andrew looked at Buffy and chuckled slightly as she was sound asleep with a bag of potato chips in one hand, and a bar of chocolate in her mouth, Andrew watched her for a couple of seconds before he heard Spike come up stairs, he turned around and walked out.

"Is she awake?" Spike asked before walking in, Spike spotted his wife and started laughing.

His laughing woke her; she looked at herself in the mirror and started crying.

"Oh baby, don't cry."

"WHY NOT? YOU FIND MY HUGE AMOUNT OF UGLYNESS FUNNY!" She yelled.

"Your not ugly, you're adorable." He said kissing her forehead.

"You don't think I'm adorable, you just saying that so I stop crying. I'm not adorable, I'm disgusting, I eat everything, I'm fat and gross..."

"Now you can stop that right now, you are not disgusting or any of the rest of the crap you just said, you are an amazing gorgeous woman with a stomach full of my kids, I don't call that gross, I call that a miracle, a beautiful miracle." He said stroking her tears away.

She smiled at him.

"How do you do that?" She asked.

"Do what?"

"Are able to make me feel so much better just by telling me how you see it, you do it so well." She pulling him onto the bed with her and kissing his neck.

"Ah ah ah, none of that darlin', dinners ready, and I suspect that their is a certain Andrew outside this door filming us and he is lucky I'm in a good mood because if I wasn't I'd walk out there and that camera would be shoved down his throat." He said loudly so Andrew would hear.

Buffy laughed and shook her head as she heard Andrew run away.

Buffy, Spike, Andrew and Alex were eating when they heard the door. Spike got up to get it and raised his eye brows at the person who was at the door.

"Err hi Spike, can I come in?" Wood asked.

"Sure, come in." He said.

"Spike who's at the... Robin, what are you doing here?" She asked.

"Hi Buffy, I'm... wow look at you!" Robin said looking at her very swollen stomach.

"Yeah, its this one," She said pointing at Spike. "Keeps knocking me up" She said jokingly.

"Takes two to tango luv." Spike said.

Buffy laughed then put her hand on her stomach.

"Feels like these two are doing a bit of tangoing themselves." She said.

"Congratulations Buffy, err do you know were Faith is?" Wood asked not feeling guilty for not saying congratulations to Spike.

"Oh yeah, I'll go write down her address." She said walking away, leaving Spike and Wood in the hallway.

Wood glanced around at their home; his eyes got drawn to the coat hanging next to the door, with a smaller one next to that

"Look mate about that..." Spike said pointing to the coats.

"You do know I'll never forgive you." He said picking up the coat.

"I don't expect you too." He said taking the coat out of his hands and hanging it back up/

"You think just because you got the girl and the family that people are just gonna forget what you did..."

"When I was a vampire, its not me anymore" He said.

Alex took that time to walk out to the hall way.

"Hi" He said to the stranger.

"Hi, you must be Alex" He said.

"Yep, what's your name" Alex asked.

"I'm Robin Wood, I'm a friend of your mommy's," He said glancing up at Spike.

"Have you met my daddy?" He said grabbing his father's hand.

"Yeah, I've met him" He said glaring at Spike.

"Alex have you finished your dinner?" Spike asked.

"Yeah."

"Ok, so if I go in there I won't find out that you bribed Andrew into eating it for you so you can get dessert?"

Alex looked up at his father then tried the line that always worked on his mother

"I love you daddy." He said hugging his leg.

"I love you too, but I'm not as gullible as your mother to fall for that line every time, go...eat" He said pushing his son out

"I found the address, but it looks like someone's pulling up right now, so she can tell you herself, so you can sit for a while if you want." Buffy said waddling to the living room.

Faith walked in through the back door like she usually did, she stopped to talk to Andrew and Alex for a little while and Spike, Buffy and Wood could hear a male voice that was to deep to be Andrew.

Faith walked in. "Spike are you aware you son tried to sell his food to me?"

"Grr ALEX!"Spike shouted while going to the dining room.

Faith looked across the room and spotted Robin. "What are you doing here?" She asked.

Buffy could see her friend was not to thrilled to see Robin, she could also see Robin was not to thrilled to see Faith with Angel.

"I came to see you, and tell you, I'm staying in LA, with you, hopefully." He said moving towards her.

Faith just looked at him like she was unsure and confused then looked at Angel and looked down.

"Err guys the babies are kicking again." Buffy said trying to lighten the mood.

Angel instantly sprinted over and put his hand on her stomach "Wow, Buffy you have got yourself a pair of football players in there." He said.

They both started laughing when Spike came in. "What's going on?" He said walking over to Buffy and pushing Angel out the way.

"The babies were kicking again honey." She said putting his hand on her stomach.

"We've got a pair in their ain't we darlin'? Just know they're my kids, just by the way they move in that stomach of yours." He said wrapping his arms around Buffy and pulled her closer and nuzzled her neck while looking at Angel.

Angel could see what Spike was doing and could help but rise to the bait a was starting to get very jealous, so he walked away from them and back over to Faith, Faith looked up at him and Wood looked between them.

At that point Andrew came in and could instantly see the tension and thought it could make a brilliant movie, he quickly grabbed his camera.

[Hello kind views welcome to what I love to call, The Love Tangle, this story starts in the Crawford household, let's take a look shall we?]

Andrew quickly did a scan of the room; he took a close up of Spike with his arms possessively around Buffy's swollen stomach and glaring at Angel.

Angel, who was glancing between Spike and Buffy's stomach.

Buffy who was oblivious to her husbands silent warnings to the vampire was to busy watching for Faiths reaction to Woods proposal.

Faith who was glancing at Wood then back up at Angel and Wood who could see her looking at Angel and didn't like it.

Once Andrew had finished the close ups turned the camera back to himself.

["See that viewers, tension you could cut with a knife."]

Everyone in the room could sense the huge amount of tension, so Buffy decided to break the silence.

"I don't know if anyone's interested but my water just broke." She said calmly.
