"Does this have something to do with you measuring the appartement this morning?" Buffy asked as she followed Spike around the hardware store.

Spike just smiled back at her.

"What on earth are you up to?" Buffy asked.

"I want to put up some walls, so that we can have an actual bedroom and then the baby can have it's own room too" Spike replied as he picked out a bunch of tools.

"Oh my god, is that possible?" Buffy cried "I didn't think there was enough room to do that"

"Well, in just your appartement there isn't, but I convinced the owner to let me punch out the wall to the next appartement over. So it'll be some major construction, but in the end it'll be worth it" Spike said.

Buffy squealed and threw her arms around Spike's neck.

"I love you so much" she cried.

"I thought you'd like the idea" Spike smiled at the reaction he got from her.

"This is going to be so perfect, it will go from being an appartement to a home" Buffy smiled.

Spike bought all the tools and supplies that he would need. When they got home Spike made a few phone calls and found the perfect contractor. His name was Xander Harris and he was very experienced.

"When can you start?" Spike asked Xander over the phone.

"When do you need me?" Xander asked.

"The sooner the better" Spike replied.

"How about tommorrow then?" Xander asked.

"That would be perfect, I'll see you then" Spike said.

The next morning Xander was there at 8 and they started taking down the wall.

"So your wife's expecting" Xander said, starting small talk as the men worked.

"Yea, she's almost four months now" Spike replied.

"My wife Cordelia is almost five and a half months now" Xander said.

"Oh, I didn't know your wife was pregnant" Spike said.

"Yea, it's it fun living with someone pregnant" Xander laughed.

"I hear you" Spike replied.

"Do you guys want me to make you some lunch?" Buffy asked as she walked into the room.

"Not if it's too much trouble" Xander said.

"No not at all. How does BLT's sound?" Buffy asked.

"That would be great luv, let me know if you need any help" Spike replied.

"Thanks, but I think I can handle it" Buffy said as she went to the kitchen.

For the next week and a half Xander came over everyday and they were all fast becoming friends. They were almost finished the constrution, they had abiout one more day of work left.

Buffy and Spike went out and picked out paint for the walls. They picked dark-ish blue for the living room, golden yellow for the kitchen, rich green for the bathroom, light blue for the playoom, redish burgundy for their bedroom and they were waiting to find out the sex of the baby before they painted the nursery.

"So luv, tell me how you feel about painting?" Spike asked.

"I actually don't really mind painting that much" Buffy replied.

"Perfect, cause we have a bloody lot of painting to do" Spike smiled.

"Well, let's get started then" Buffy said.

"Which room would you like to start with?" Spike asked.

"I was thinking maybe we would start with the living room" Buffy replied.

"Bring on the blue paint" Spike replied.

Buffy laughed and passed Spike a paint brush.

"You do the outline and I'll roll" Buffy said as she laid out the sheets over the beautiful hardwood floor that Xander had put in a few days before.

"By the way, if you get paint on my hardwood floor I will have to choice but to kill you" Buffy said.

"Oh is that so?" Spike smirked.

"Yes it is!" Buffy replied as she opened the blue paint.

For the next week Buffy and Spike were painting everyday. In the end it was worth it though. Their house was becoming beautiful.
