A Revelation: Chapter 2: The Spell
Buffy's room
The next morning Buffy awoke to a fresh spring day. Strange, she thought. I feel so heavy. When she tried to move she found herself paralyzed with pain. "Mom?"
"She already left, pet," Spike answered from his room next door.
"Spike?" Buffy asked weakly.
"Yeah?"
"Can you help me? I can't move," she said pathetically.
"Are you lazy today, Slayer?" he drawled as walked into the room. He stopped dead in his tracks. "What the-? How the bloody hell did you get like this, Slayer!?" he asked incredulously. He rushed to her side and helped her up. "We got to get you to the Watcher's," he said gently.
Giles's house
"Come on, Giles, come on! Answer the door!" Spike silently urged the Watcher on.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming," Giles yelled through the door.
"Giles!" Spike banged on the door.
"Spike? What the-?" Giles said in disbelief as he opened the door.
"She's in pain," Spike interrupted.
"Let's get her to a doctor this doesn't look mystical, which in other words means it is way out of my expertise."

"What is it, doctor?" Buffy asked fearfully.
"I'm going to have to run more tests, but........."
"But what?" Buffy asked.
"As far as I can see.......you're pregnant," he said matter of factly.
"What!?! How could this happen? I haven't had a boyfriend for over a year!" Buffy couldn't understand how this had happened.
"Well, that's what we are trying to find out: who the father is," the doctor replied trying to calm her.
A few hours later, at Giles's house
"Test results are back in... .....it seems that Spike here is the father." Giles heaved a sigh as he put the phone back in its cradle.
"What!?!" Buffy and Spike exclaimed in unison.
"How the bloody hell did this happen? I knew it! I knew it! I knew I should have never ganged up with you bloody poofs!" Spike shouted to nobody in particular shaking his head.
"Don't blame me! That's what the doctor said on the phone! I'm only the messenger!" Giles said defensively. "Oh my god! This can't be real. It's a nightmare that's it. I'll wake up tomorrow and I won't be pregnant with Spike's baby. Wake up, Buffy, come on, wake up now," Buffy tried to calm down. When she finally did, she was curled up on Giles's couch trying to wake up from her 'nightmare'. Giles didn't say a word. He just turned, went into his bedroom, and closed the door. He stayed there for several hours not making a sound. Spike, on the other hand, smoked two whole packs of cigarettes. That's how Willow, Xander, and Anya found them, five hours later.

"What's with you guys? You act like somebody just died or something," Xander asked really concerned for Buffy's sake.
Giles was the first one to break the silence that had plagued them for so long, "Buffy's pregnant."
"What?!" Xander had been expecting the usual: apocalypses, someone dying, Buffy dating a new guy, but he hadn't been expecting this. "Who's the father?" he asked making a mental note in his mind to kill whoever it was.
"Why do you want to know?" Giles asked suspiciously.
"'Cause I want to break his legs," Xander explained simply.
"Xander!" Anya scolded. "This should be a celebration. Buffy will have a beautiful baby!"
"Um, Buffy?" Willow asked timidly.
"What, Will?" Buffy replied wearily.
"Were you pregnant before yesterday?" Willow said cautiously.
"No...not that I know of..." Buffy said uncertainly.
"Oh my god! Buffy I'm so sorry!" Willow burst into tears.
"What did you do, Will?" Buffy raised her voice in anger.
"I did a spell......... so that you could take a break...... from Slayer Buffy.... so you could be Fun Buffy for awhile.........." Willow gasped out between sobs.
"How long?" Buffy tried to keep her anger in check.
"Five months......" Willow couldn't hide her guilt over her blunder.
Buffy turned to Giles, "How far along am I?"
"Seven months," Giles answered reluctantly.
"Thanks a lot, Will. You do realize that you knocked me up with Spike's demon spawn?" Buffy said sarcastically.
"What!?" Xander roared.
"Thanks a lot, Slayer! Exactly how I had planned my day: help you, get a kid, and have Xander pissed at me. What an absolutely wonderful day! Probably the best I ever had!" Spike snapped.
