A Revelation: Chapter 4: A New Home
The next day in Buffy's room
Buffy woke and stared at the ceiling, "What the hell is happening to me? How did that happen? Since when do I comfort and make out with Spike? I usually hate him!"
Her mind answered her 'Because the Spike you knew wasn't there last night.'
Buffy's living room
"Mom, Dawn I need to talk to you," Buffy said in a business like tone.
"What is it, Buffy?" her mother asked.
"Yeah, what's up, Buffy?" Dawn asked casually.
"Well, guess what? I have some interesting news," Buffy said slowly. "Mom, you're going to be a grandmother and Dawn, you're going to be an aunt."
"What are you saying, Buffy?" her mother asked cautiously.
"I'm pregnant," Buffy said looking at her feet.
"What? How could you let this happen? Didn't you even think about what happen with Angel? I can't believe you-"Joyce Summers shrieked.
"Mom, it's not like that!" Buffy said loudly trying to calm her down.
"Who's the father?" Dawn asked excitedly.
"Now, that's a good question. Care to comment, Buffy?" her mother asked.
"Spike...." Buffy started.
"What?!" her mother shrieked.
"Oh my god! This is so cool!" Dawn squealed.
"Spike? How .........no you didn't........did you?" Buffy's mother asked incredulous.
"No, Mom. Willow did a spell that backfired and Spike....." Buffy began.
"Oh, great! Just perfect! Exactly what I wanted! A 200 year old vampire in the family! That will look just perfect on the census records! A mother, two daughters, a vampire who been around for 200 years, and said vampire's demon child from hell! How completely normal!" her mother said sarcastically.
"Mom, calm down-"Buffy tried desperately to calm her.
"Calm down? I'm past trying to calm down! I can't even look at you the same way anymore!" Buffy's mother was on the rampage.
"But I thought you liked Spike!" Buffy protested.
"I do! But that don't mean I want him in the family! God! Buffy, what were you thinking!" Joyce couldn't control herself.
"Mom,-"Buffy tried yet again to calm her mother.
"That's it! I can't even look at you! If you aren't going to get an abortion than you aren't going to live here!" Joyce finally burst out.
"Mom, don't you think you could give Buffy a break? After all it wasn't her fault. It wasn't like she asked for this," Dawn came to her sister's defense.
"If you're going to go to her defense, then I guess you're going too," Joyce snapped back.
"What? Mom-"Dawn objected.
"No, she's right. Let's go get our things," Buffy interrupted quietly.
They gathered all their belongings and left that very night. Without even a goodbye.
On the walk from Buffy's house to Spike's crypt
"You okay, pet?" Spike asked concerned. He didn't want her unhappy.
"Yeah, I guess," she answered halfheartedly. "it's just that after my mom threw me out I felt fine, no big, but to add to all my other problems she threw Dawn out too. All because Dawn didn't mind about the baby. God, she sounded happy about it. She wouldn't stop going on about how 'cool' it was. Willow's no help. She's been all 'mopey girl' ever since Oz left her. Xander never did care for it in the first place. And Anya does whatever Xander tells her to do." Buffy heaved a sigh.
"I'm sorry, luv. It's my fault. I should have let you get an abortion. I don't deserve it or you," Spike said guiltily.
"No, you do deserve it and even better than me. And maybe I deserve lower than you and it." Buffy reassured him as she curled into his embrace.
"Is this a private conversation or can I join in when you're done being all mushy gushy?" Dawn interrupted.
"Hey, Little Bit," Spike said politely, secretly cursing her timing.
"Don't worry, Dawn, we're not going to leave you out of anything," Buffy answered her, quickly pulling away from Spike.
Spike's crypt
Spike threw open the door. "Welcome to your new home!" he joked.
"Do you have a television?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah, it's right over there by the chairs........" Spike began.
"Great! I'll talk to you guys later," Dawn exclaimed as she bound over to the TV and plopped in Spike's favorite chair.
"Hey, hey, watch the leather! That's my favorite chair!" Spike yelled.
"Whatever," Dawn replied paying more attention to her favorite show: Married.....With Children.
"Buffy!" Spike whined.
"Dawn, listen to Spike," Buffy said not really paying much attention.
"Why?" Dawn asked.
"' Cause he's sort of like your step dad," Buffy answered simply.
"Hey! I'm only half responsible for only one kid here and that one isn't even born yet!" Spike exclaimed.
"Cool!" Dawn exclaimed. "I have a cool step dad!"
"Buffy-"Spike started again.
"Would you two quit bickering and help me unpack?!" Buffy exploded.
"Sorry, luv," Spike said, hanging his head.
"Sorry, Buffy," Dawn apologized.
Flash forward a few hours
"So....Dawn is asleep......and we're alone...." Spike said sensually.
"Spike!" Buffy said playfully, curling up next to him on his bed.
"Ooo, Mommy's in a good mood," Spike remarked wrapping his arms around her.
Buffy laughed, "'Cause Daddy stopped fighting with Dawnie."
He chuckled and kissed her deeply.
She was lost in his kiss.
"How was that?" Spike raised his eyebrow.
"Angel's got nothing on you," Buffy smiled and closed her eyes, just feeling his icy warm embrace.
