Title: Bundle Of Joy

Reviews: Im weeping like a baby for some!

A/N: Alright this may be a little out there but here we go

Angel and Cordelia just stared at each other. How could this be possible? Doyle was gone. Nothing could have brought him back. Unless.

The senior partners.

Wesley, Gunn, and Fred just started at the brunette standing in the doorway. So this was the Doyle they had all heard so much about? You could have heard a pin drop. Nobody was talking, all were silent and still.

Except for Buffy. She demanded a explanation.

She held out her hand and shook Doyles outstreched. "Have a seat Doyle. I have to say this is the most awkward event I've been witness to in a while. Except for maybe that thing that I had to go to the hospital to--" she shut up. No way was she revealing that to everyone now. In time maybe. But not now.

"Buffy.. I think we should ajorn this little meeting for today. We've all been quite shocked and I dont think any of us are very up to it." Angel concluded and Buffy shook her head, yes. There were somethings she needed to discuss with a certain vampire.

"Alright she agreed. I do need to talk to a certain vampire about something though," both Angel and Spike got up at the mention of vampire and Fred and Cordelia blankly stared at Buffy. " --Spike, can we go somewhere in privite?" he looked to Fred and she nodded. She understood there were just somethings she couldnt control in this world.

And so the gang disperced, with Spike and Buffy heading up to the nice comfy room they had provided for Buffy and the rest of the gang heading out to have some dinner since it was quite late and the sun had set. They all sure had a lot to talk about.

Buffy used the key she was given to unlock the door and opened it up to the nicest suite in the building. But why did Buffy need a joint bedroom right off her's? Spike knew he shouldn't pry so he kept his mouth shut. Instead he let Buffy do the talking.

"How dare you.." she shouted in her loudest voice, "I actually MOURNED for you and here you are shacking it up with that.. that TEXAN"

Spike smirked, "No ones been shacking up lu--" he stopped himself, second time he'd almost made that mistake. "--Slayer, actually it was a new thing I was trying out..Why should you care anyway?"

"Are you really asking that question? I can't believe you.You.. you knew how I felt about you, about us and you have the decency to ask me that."

"Yes actually I do remember how you felt about me and our relationship. In fact I do remember the night you..YOU dumped me..remember that. Said you were weak and our relationship was killing you"

"Yes.. but after that Spike.. after yout got.. after you got the soul for me. I.. I was just starting to understand you and us. I was just strating to-" she broke down in sobs and Spike walked over pulling her into a hug.. "Im sorry. Luv," he'd said it and he knew there was no going back then. "I didnt know, what you said that day about loving me. I just... I just thought you were humoring me. Making it easier for me to go off the way I did--" she shook her head. "No" she said and he began stroking away the tears from her cheeks. She looked up at him and their heads moved closer and closer together. Buffy kissed him gently. It was the most tender, the most truthful kiss either one ha experienced. Spike smiled a little and Buffy pulled away. "Spike I think theres something I need to.. I need to show you."

She pulled away from his embrace and opened the door to the ajoining room. There sat a baby carriage. "Luv.. gosh I've been gone for 10 months and you go shacking it up with someone? Who's is it? Its not the ponce Riley is it? Please tell me you didnt go to him for solitude.."

"Spike..I havent been with anyone else since--" tears began rolling down her face, "--and, and you were gone. I didnt know what to do. I came here really hoping that there was someway Wesley could help.. could help me bring you back.."

"No luv.. I promise this..this cant be true.. vampires they're sterile."

"Spike, listen I know.. this is crazy but don't say that. She's a miracle. Theres been no one else since that night in the basement, right before you--"

"I died.. I know.. Buffy.. you had to go through this all alone?" He sat down on the bed and ran the possibilites of his fathering a child and with Buffy.

"No my friends were there for me. Except, Spike they don't know you're the father. I recently dated a guy named William. Yeah I know. You're name. I couldnt stop thinking about you and he reminded me of you.. and Spike.."

Spike stood up.. "I'm sorry buffy but there's just no way in heaven or hell that, that that child is mine.." he walked out of the room and walked all the way to his room. When he reached it he opened the door and walked in. Nothing in there was changed but something in his heart was. "It... she cant be" he said not ready to admit the fact that he knew Buffy would never lie about that.

Buffy crumpeled up against the wall and began to weep.

Buffy and Spike both spent the lonlinest night ever in their lives that night.
