Hiya, I can't think of anything to say so just read the story...
Chapter Five- Advice and Choices
"Buffy, are you okay in there? Is it positive?" Buffy heard Angel call into her; she unlocked the door and came out,
"I'm pregnant" she said smiling, Angel pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly,
"Oh Buffy" he said, she could feel the wetness of his tears on her shoulder and she pulled away,
"What's wrong?" she asked,
"It's just...well, I think that this is such a great thing for our marriage" he said and she smiled weakly,
"Yeah..." she said, "Angel I know this isn't the best time............but I have to go and talk to my mom, I'll be back in half an hour" She kissed him on the lips before putting her coat on again and walking out of the front door, leaving Angel alone.
Spike sat on his bed, he was so happy; she had just told him that she loved him. Surely she would leave Angel now? Actually, he wasn't so sure that she would. I mean, he knew that she loved him, but Angel was her husband, and he knew that Buffy just wasn't the type of person to hurt someone that way. Sighing, he put on his leather duster and strolled out to the bar. He needed a drink.
"So you're telling me you're pregnant..." Joyce said, "And you don't know which one of two men is the father..."
"Yes" Buffy said simply,
"But you told me that the affair was over"
"I know mom, I can't help it I've fall..." Buffy paused, and her mom looked at her with sympathetic eyes,
"Go on..."
"I've fallen in love with him mom. I've...I've fallen in love with spike"
"Does he know?"
"Yeah, I told him today"
"No...does he know about the baby?"
Buffy sighed. "No he...he doesn't
"You have to tell him...now"
"Mom I can't, Angel's expecting me home any minute and I don't even know if the baby actually is Spike's yet"
"Blood test...tell Spike to take a blood test, it's the only way to find out for sure that it's his"
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow"
"No, you have to go now, I'll tell Angel a cover story, just go now"
Buffy hugged her Mom tightly, "Thanks mom, I'll tell him now"
Spike unlocked the door to his apartment and walked in, holding a cigarette in his unsteady hand.
He had been chatted up by some pretty hot chicks when he was there but none of them could have held a candle to Buffy, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but she wasn't his, and that bothered him.
He threw himself onto the sofa and pressed on the T.V, he sighed as he flicked through channel after channel seeing nothing that interested him. He turned it off; nothing could distract him from her. A knock at the door made him jump and he got off the sofa and opened it.
"Buffy." He said, pulling her in for a kiss, she responded for a second before pulling away and Spike knew instantly that something was wrong.
"What's up?" he asked,
She looked at him nervously, "I'm pregnant" she said quietly
"Pregnant?" he asked, "Is it..."
"Yours? I dunno, Spike I need you to do something for me..."
"Anything Luv"
"Take a blood test; I wanna see if the baby's yours"
"What if it is?"
"Spike if it is I'm gonna.........I'm gonna have to lie..."
"And say its Angel's?" Buffy nodded
"And you just assumed I'd be happy with that? You thought I'd be happy watching my child grow up thinking that another man is its father?"
"Spike please don't make this harder"
"Fine. I'll take a blood test but if it is mine I'm not gonna let you do that. Understood?"
"Yeah" Buffy nodded, "I'm gonna have to go now but promise me you're gonna take that test?"
"I promise" She smiled and walked off, leaving Spike to shut the door. He couldn't believe it, he could be a father? He hoped to God that it was his, and then she would have to leave Angel...
Buffy lay in bed next to her husband. Angel had bee so pleased and excited when he found out that she was going to have a baby and she felt desperately sorry for him knowing that it was only a small chance that it was his. She turned over and watched him sleep, what would he do? She wondered, if he found out that she didn't really love him anymore, that she had fallen in love and began an affair with another man and there was a massive chance that it was his baby? He would go raving mad, that's what.
Buffy would have given anything for it to have been Spike lying next to her. She sighed, to have Spike as her husband would be perfect, they could raise their child together and live happily ever after, but it was a dream, and that's all it would ever be.
Buffy woke up to the sound of her alarm clock going off, it was a Saturday but she got up anyway. She looked across to Angel's side of the bed, he wasn't there but the sound of the shower running gave her a big clue to where he was.
Spike sat in the doctor's office, he had taken the blood test the night before and the doctor had rung him to tell him that the results were in, the door opened, and she walked in with a pile of papers in her hand.
"Look, I don't have a lot of time so can we just cut to the chase?" he asked and she looked at him as if he had just seriously offended her,
"Alright then," she said bluntly, "it's yours...you are the father of this child, congratulations...now please, get out of my office, I have a..." she stopped when she noticed that he had already gone out, "meeting" she finished to herself.
Buffy knocked on the door of his apartment, there was no answer, she knocked again and jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned around.
"Hello Luv" Spike said, pulling her in for a kiss, it quickly deepened and their tongues danced for a second before she broke the kiss.
"So? Did you take the test?"
"I did"
"And?"
"It's mine Buffy. The baby's mine."
"Really? I mean you're not just saying that so that I'll...Angel..."
"Buffy" he silenced her, "It's mine, I took the blood test and the doctor said that it's mine"
He unlocked the door to his apartment and they both walked inside, as soon as he had shut the door she began talking...
"What are we gonna do? Angel thinks that the baby is his and...well...I just couldn't hurt him like that. Ella, oh my God, Ella! She's gonna be so excited...I'm sure Angel will have told her by now. I'm sorry Spike I can't leave them I just can't and I..."
He silenced her with a passionate kiss and she immediately opened her mouth, letting their tongues find each other again. She moaned as they fell onto the sofa, he broke the kiss and began lightly nipping her collar bone.
She undid his shirt, exposing his rock hard chest and he did the same with her, expertly un doing her bra clasp as he did so.
"No...Spike...not here...the bedroom..." he heard her pant and he stood up and she followed him into the bedroom.
As soon as the door was closed, they kissed once more and, never parting from his lips, she started to fiddle with his belt buckle. Sliding his hand up her short denim skirt he pulled down her skimpy panties and she wrapped her legs around his waist before they fell onto the bed together.
Just as she felt the pleasure rising, she heard the familiar ring of her cell phone, groaning, she started to get up but Spike held her back and kissed her on the lips again.
"No...Spike..." she said in between kisses, "I have to...get...that..." he finally sighed and let her go. Taking his dressing gown off of the hook behind the door she put it on herself and went to answer her phone in the living room.
"Hello?" she answered,
"Hello Buffy, It's your mom, did he get the results of the test yet?" she gasped as she felt Spike come up behind her and start kissing her neck.
"Y'know what mom...now...oh!... now isn't such a good...ahhh...time for me to talk...I'm kinda...ohhhh...busy" she pushed Spike away and he got the message and went back into the bedroom.
"Oh, well never mind. Surely you're not too busy to tell me who the father is?"
"Oh mom! Is that all you've been thinking about all day? Alright fine, Spike's the father, not Angel..."
"Oh dear, honey I need to talk to you then, can you and Spike both come round to my house after you've finished what you're doing?"
"Yeah. Hang on me and Spike? Ok, Sure, see you later" She hung up the phone and went back into the bedroom; spike immediately ran up to her and kissed her.
"That" kiss "Was my" kiss "Mom" kiss "She knows about us" the kissing stopped and Spike pulled away to look at her.
"She knows?"
"Yeah, she kinda figured it out after I spent the night at your place"
"Well, is she gonna tell Angel?"
"No, she promised not to, I trust her. She knows the baby's yours. I told her just now."
"What did she say?"
"She said that she wanted both of us to come round to her house"
Joyce was nervous about meeting Spike for the first time but he was going to be the father of her second grandchild so she wanted to see what he was like, and talk to the both of them about the whole situation with Angel and Ella.
The doorbell rang and pulled her from her thoughts and she went to answer it.
They were both stood there holding hands. He was shorter than he imagined, only a few inches taller then Buffy. He was very handsome she thought but in her opinion, his blonde hair didn't do him any favours.
"Come in" she said and they silently followed her, she could feel the love and passion coming off them in waves.
"You must be Spike" she held out a hand and he shook it nervously, "I don't bite you know" she said and he smiled.
"Mom" Buffy broke the nervous silence, "We need to talk to you, we kinda need your help" Joyce felt honoured but slightly uncomfortable that they were seeing her as someone who could help them.
Joyce lead the two of them into the living room where they sat down, "I assume that this is going to be about the baby" she said and they nodded,
"We don't know what we're going to do" Buffy said, "I mean, we don't want to tell Angel, but we don't want him to raise the child thinking that he is it's Dad." They both looked at Joyce with desperate looks in their eyes and she tried to think of a solution,
"You two love each other right?" Joyce asked and they nodded,
"Buffy do you still love Angel?" she asked and Buffy shook her head, "no" she said, "not anymore"
"Then you have to leave him" she paused, taking in the look of horror on her daughter's face.
"Buffy, you don't love him anymore, you love another man, you're having Spike's baby...he's gonna find out sooner or later and I think that it should be now, or at least before you give birth to the child" Buffy looked at her and sighed,
"Spike?" she said and he looked at her, "Could you leave my mom and I alone for a minute?" he smiled and nodded before walking outside and Buffy saw him take out a packet of cigarettes before he closed the door.
"Mom I can't leave Angel..." she began "...I love Spike so much but I can't leave Angel"
"Why not?"
"Ella...it would destroy her, just the other week...before I even met Spike she was saying how lucky she was because her mom and dad loved each other and hadn't split up like some of her friend's parents...I couldn't do this to her mom, I just couldn't"
"I understand. Buffy sometimes love is a strange thing, you fall for people who you really shouldn't, and don't love people who you really should. I know this might sound a little cheesy but Buffy you have to listen to what your heart wants"
Buffy stood up, "Thank you mom, I'm gonna think it over, goodbye" she lightly kissed her mom on the cheek before going outside to rejoin Spike.
Buffy came into her living room to see Angel sat in an armchair waiting for her, as soon as he saw her, he stood up and faced her.
"Angel? What's up?" she asked, her heart thumping, he couldn't possibly know...could he?
"Buffy" he said calmly "Tonight I have to go away on a business trip for a couple of days, will you be okay here on your own?"
"Sure" Buffy said, finally she could have some time to think about things without Angel constantly butting his nose in.
"Okay then" he said and he kissed her goodbye, "I better get going, I don't want to miss my flight" she smiled and waved before collapsing on a chair after he shut the door. A mischievous grin spread across her face; there were other things that she could do now that Angel was away...
