"Girls, I'm having a little girl" Joyce told her daughters.

"Another girl, how did I know?" Buffy asked

"Another girl, that's cool" Faith said.

"So, what do you think, Dawnie? You're going to have a baby sister" Joyce said.

"It's nice. I think it's gonna be fun" Dawn said.

"This is great" Buffy said. "Now that we know what it is, we can pick a name and buy clothes."

"I know, it will be much easier" Joyce said.

"I knew you'd cave" Faith told her.

"I think that it was just easier finding out the gender. If we didn't then we'd have to wait to the baby's born to be able to buy things" Joyce said.

"Do you know what you want to name her?" Buffy asked.

"No, not really" Joyce said.

"Well, it has to be something girly, 'cause, Faith, Elizabeth, Dawn, Joyce, they're all girly names. We can't leave her out" Dawn said.

"I know, it'll be girly" Joyce said.

"Yeah, like. . .Danielle or something" Dawn said. "Except not Danielle, 'cause that's another thing, none of our names start with the same letter and we shouldn't give the baby a name that starts with a D, E, F or J."

"Okay" Joyce smiled. "I think I'm gonna go take a nap, I'm feeling really tired."

"I'm gonna go over to Spike's, I can't leave it like this" Buffy said.

"Okay honey, have fun" Joyce said and went upstairs.

"B, what happened between you and Spike?" Faith asked, following her sister into the kitchen, followed by Dawn. Buffy went over to the fridge and got a bottle of water and then got the keys off the key rack.

"We got into this huge argument" Buffy told her.

"You've never fought before" Faith said.

"I know, that's what scares me," Buffy said. "I'll be back later."

"Bye" Faith said and Buffy left the house.

Buffy arrived at Spike's and walked up the stairs and knocked on the door and Spike answered.

"Hey" he said.

"Hi" she said back. "Can I come in?"

"I guess" he said and let her in and she turned to him once he shut the door.

"Spike, did you mean what you said this morning?" she asked.

"No, I didn't" he said.

"I'm sorry" she told him. "I love you, you know that."

"I'm sorry about what I said about your mum" he told her.

"Me too. . .about your mom" Buffy said and hugged him. "Still love me?" she asked and he smiled at her.

"Of course I do, always," he told her and she kissed him, putting her hands around his neck.

"So, you wanna go downstairs?" she asked him.

"To do what?" he asked.

"Oh, I'm sure we can think of something" she said and took his hand and led him to his bedroom.

Spike's alarm clock went off at 9:30 and he groaned as he hit the off button.

"Bloody hell" he mumbled and rolled over to where Buffy was still in bed with him. "Uh-oh, uh. . .Buffy, baby, wake up."

"Hmm?" Buffy asked, her eyes still closed.

"Buffy, wake up" Spike said again and she opened her eyes and they widened.

"Oh my god" she said, jumping out of bed, wrapping herself in a sheet and looking around for her clothing.

"I guess we both over slept" Spike said.

"My mother's gonna kill me" Buffy said, getting dressed.

"Maybe Faith covered for you. I mean she knew you were coming over here right?" Spike asked.

"Yeah, god I hope so. I really don't want my mother to know that I'm having sex, not until I'm married" Buffy said.

"I'm sure it'll be fine, luv" Spike said, getting up and getting dressed also. "We should go, though, I have thing to do."

"What?" Buffy asked as they went upstairs to leave the house.

"Just stuff" Spike said and they got into his car.

"Like?" Buffy prodded and he sighed, annoyed.

"Does it matter?" he asked her.

"Sorry" she said.

"No, it's all right" he said, taking her hand and kissing it. Soon he pulled into her driveway. "I'll call you later okay?"

"Kay" she said and they kissed. "I love you."

"I love you too baby" he said and she got out of the car, afraid to go into the house. Spike drove away and she quietly opened the door, hoping that no one was up yet. She went into the kitchen to get something to eat and Faith came up behind her.

"Have fun last night?" she asked and Buffy turned quickly around.

"Faith, hey" Buffy said. "Does mom know—"

"No, she doesn't know anything. I covered for you" Faith said and Buffy hugged her.

"Oh, I love you" Buffy said.

"I love you too" Faith said, patting her sister on the back.

"So, is mom sleeping?" Buffy asked, taking out the milk and pouring herself a bowl of cocoa pebbles.

"No, she left a half an hour ago. She went took Dawn to the dentist" Faith said.

"Oh" Buffy said, sitting at the island with her cereal.

"Did you and Spike make up?" Faith asked. "Nevermind, don't answer that, obviously you did."

"Actually, I was with Riley" Buffy joked and laughed at Faith's reaction. "Faith, I'm kidding."

"Oh, good" Faith said, getting a spoon out of the drawer and joining her sister at the island. "So, everything's okay with you two?"

"Yeah, we're fine" Buffy said. "And I'm glad, 'cause I'd hate to lose him. I love him way too much to lose him."

"You're not going to lose him" Faith assured her, putting her spoon in the bowl and eating some of the cereal. "He loves you too, and you forget, he had a crush on you before you had one on him."

"I know" Buffy said. "Faith, do you think mom's gonna be okay?"

"She's strong, B. she'll be okay, and we'll be here for her. She doesn't need some dumb guy to get by. Mom's better than him" Faith said.

"I just feel so bad for her. I mean, here she is having to raise a baby and the guy she was in love with betrayed her" Buffy said.

"I know, I feel bad for her too, but we can't change the fact that Curt is an adultery committing asshole. All we can do is be here for her" Faith said. "We all love her, B. everything's gonna be fine."

"I hope so" Buffy said and they finished the cereal and Buffy put the bowl in the dishwasher. "I'm gonna go take a shower."

"Yeah, you do that" Faith said, smiling and Buffy went upstairs.

Joyce was waiting for Dawn in the waiting room and finally she came out.

"Everything okay honey?" Joyce asked.

"Yeah, no cavities" Dawn smiled.

"Good" Joyce said, taking her hand. "Let's get out of here."

"Can we stop for ice cream?" Dawn asked.

"No" Joyce smiled. "You just got your teeth cleaned.

"So" Dawn pouted.

"Tell you what. We'll have ice cream for dessert tonight" Joyce said.

"Okay" Dawn said and they left the dentist's office and got into her car.

"I'm gonna stop at the store before we go home" Joyce told her daughter.

"What do you need?" Dawn asked.

"I wanted to get a baby name book at the store so we can find a name for your baby sister" Joyce said.

"Cool" Dawn said as Joyce pulled into the store parking lot and they got out.

Joyce and Dawn entered the house and Faith and Buffy were sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Hi Buffy, you're awake" Joyce said. "I wanted to ask you if you made up with Spike last night but Faith said you were asleep."

"Oh they made up all right" Faith smirked and Buffy nudged her in the arm.

"Yeah, we're okay" Buffy said.

"Good" Joyce said.

"Hey, you guys. Mom bought a baby name book. She said we can pick the name now" Dawn said as she and Joyce made their way into the living room and sat down.

"Cool" Buffy said and Joyce opened the book.

"Okay, let's see. . ." Joyce said. "Maria?"

"No" Buffy said.

"Uh-uh" Faith said.

"Yuck" Dawn said.

"You're right" Joyce said and turned the page.

"How about we do this. We each pick four names we like and then we can choose from there" Dawn said.

"All right, that sounds like a good idea" Joyce said.

Fifteen minutes later all four girls had their names ready.

"Thank you for doing this girls. I know it's silly" Joyce told her daughters.

"No, it's okay" Buffy said.

"Okay, Buffy, you go first" Joyce said.

"Okay, Lilly, Sara, Meredith and Hailey" Buffy said.

"Cute" Joyce said. "Faith?"

"Okay, Sara, Jennifer, Allie and Leeza" Faith said.

"Those are cute too" Joyce said. "Dawn?"

"All right, Molly, Sara, Abigail and Maggie" Dawn said.

"Nice" Joyce said. "Okay, I have Alexandra, Andrea, Sara and Stephanie."

"Cute mom" Buffy said. "So, how do we choose?"

"Well, I think the most obvious choice is Sara. We all have it on our list" Faith said.

"True" Buffy said.

"I like it" Dawn said.

"Okay, Sara it is" Joyce said.

"But, spelled S-A-R-A" Buffy said. "No H."

"Okay, sounds good, Sara Marissa Summers" Joyce said.

"That's cute" Buffy said.

"Yeah" Dawn said.

"It's perfect" Faith said.

"Buffy, Faith, Dawn and Sara. My four daughters" Joyce said with a smile and put her hands on her stretched belly.
