Hiya. I didn't have time to do a spell check on this chapter so it might have a couple of mistakes but hopefully not too many. I have started a new fiction called "choices." Its b/s obviously. Don't worry- I will keep writing this one.

Chapter Six- Confessions

Buffy lead Spike up the stairs in her house, "That's the bathroom" she said, pointing to the bathroom with her spare hand, "That's Ella's room" she said, pointing to another room, "and this..." she pulled Spike into the biggest room and slammed the door,

"...is my bedroom" she pinned him against the wall and kissed him passionately, he quickly returned the kiss and she wrapped her legs around his waist making them fall onto the bed. She quickly unplugged the phone line, she wanted this love making session not to be disturbed by any calls...

Ella sat in the corner of the playground with her friend, Chloe. She really didn't feel well at all; her head was spinning, and her stomach was aching badly, eventually Chloe spoke up,

"You've been a lot quieter than usual today Ella. Is everything alright?"

"No" she shook her head, "I don't feel very well at all"

"Maybe you should speak to a teacher and ask if they could ring home and ask someone to pick you up from school"

"Will they not shout at me?"

"Of course not, you can't help it if you're ill, I'll ask one for you if you like"

"Okay" Chloe linked arms with Ella and they walked up to a teacher,

"Can I help you dears?" the teacher asked, looking at Ella with a worried look on her face,

"Yes, Ella feels really ill; can you ring her house and ask if she can go home please?" Chloe asked politely,

"Of course, Ella why don't you come with me," the teacher held out her hand and Ella took it and walked off with her,

Buffy and Spike laid underneath the sheets on the bed, their naked bodies were entwined and they both finally felt a sense of freedom now that they didn't have to worry about Angel catching them together.

"This is so nice" Buffy said, snuggling up to his chest,

"I know, I gotta say I can't feel completely at rest until we figure out what we're going to do about this baby"

"We'll figure something out, I know one thing though, whatever we do I want you involved" she smiled and leaned up to kiss him on the lips, the moment was broken by a key in the lock and the two of them froze.

They heard light footsteps coming up the stairs; too light to be Angel's and they relaxed a little but tensed up again when they saw the doorknob turn.

"Mommy! Mommy! I'm not feeling very well so I had to..." Ella trailed off and her eyes widened when she saw Buffy and Spike in bed together, Buffy closed her eyes and opened them again, she looked up at Spike who was just staring at the youngster, they both knew that there was no way to get out of it-they had been well and truly caught.

Buffy started to say something but was cut off when she heard heavier footsteps come up the stairs and Joyce come into the bedroom, she covered her mouth with her hand when she saw the scene and hurried Ella out. Buffy and Spike heard her putting Ella to bed before she came back in.

"Well I hope you're happy with yourselves because I know I'm not and I definitely know that Angel won't be when Ella tells him about what she saw" she was extremely angry and neither Buffy or Spike knew what to say so they just continued staring at her,

"How could you be so stupid?" she continued, "actually having an affair in the first place is already unacceptable in my eyes but having sex, in the bed that you share with Angel..." she trailed off looking at Buffy angrily,

"I just feel sorry for poor Ella..." she said "...I really think that you are both going to have to talk to her about this and just pray that she doesn't say anything to your husband" she looked across at Spike,

"And you..." her eyes were cold and dark with disgust, "...I just don't think that you realise just how much damage you have done. She is a married woman!" Joyce's voice was raised a lot now and whatever sympathy she had for the couple was now gone, replaced by anger and disgust towards the both of them.

"We can't help falling in love you know" Spike said, his voice shaking slightly,

"DON'T TALK TO ME!" Joyce screamed and Spike was taken aback by just how much rage could be bottled up inside one person.

"You are both the lowest of the low; I don't want anything to do with either of you! I am taking Ella back to my house with me and you are both going to get out of this house, I don't want to see either of you again!"

"But..." Buffy started,

"GET OUT!" Joyce screamed, and they both jumped when she slammed the door, they heard her get Ella out of bed and Joyce came in again, carrying Ella in her arms, "no more lies" she said quietly before going downstairs, Buffy waited until she heard the front door slam before bursting into tears. Spike just held her in his arms,

"Shh..." he cooed, "It's going to be alright, you don't really have to move out..."

"Yes I do" Buffy said between sobs, "I can't live a lie anymore, I want to be with you, not Angel and definitely not the both of you...I'm leaving him tonight, he'll find out the truth when he gets back tomorrow"

Spike pulled away from her and looked into her eyes, "Buffy, are you sure?" she nodded,

"Yes, I love you so much" she said and she fell into his arms again, he placed a kiss on the top of her head,

"I love you too"

Buffy dropped her suitcases onto the floor of the apartment that now belonged to her as well as Spike. He followed her in, carrying the remaining of her belongings. "Just put them down there" she said, "I'll unpack tomorrow" she went to sit on the sofa and he followed her, they snuggled up together. Suddenly she began to cry again.

"What's wrong luv?" he asked,

"What if Angel hurts you?" she said, "Or worse... I don't know what I'd do without you"

"It's alright luv... don't worry, we've got so many other things to think about without him ruining our lives, like this for example" he patted her tummy and she put her hand over his,

"Our baby" she said.

Angel opened the door to the house.

"Buffy?" he called, no answer,

"Buffy?" he called again, still nothing, "Oh not again..." he prayed but stopped when he noticed a note stuck to the fridge, opening it, he felt rage bubble inside him as he read:

Dear Angel,
I have decided to leave you. When the barmaid said that she saw me leaving the bar with another man she was telling the truth, that is the man that I have been having an affair with and fallen in love with in the last two weeks. I am also pregnant with his baby. Do not try and contact me or him as I do not want anything more to do with you: I don't love you anymore. Please don't make this harder then it already is. Give my love to Ella- she is at my mom's house. I am so sorry but I have made my decision, do not try and change it.

Buffy.

Angel let out a roar as he tore up the note and threw it across the room. Not pausing to think, he put his coat on and stormed out to his car, he wasn't going to let anyone take Buffy away from him. Suddenly thinking of an idea, he ran back into the kitchen and took out a knife from the draw- this man had taken away something of his, and he was going to pay dearly for it.

Buffy was the first to wake up by the sound of banging on the door, she froze when she heard the furious tone of Angel's voice,

"Come on, I know you're in there...why don't you come out and face me like a man? You think you can just take away my wife like that and not pay? Huh?"

Buffy looked over at Spike who was now also awake, she gasped as she saw him get out of bed and pull his clothes on.

"What are you doing?" she asked,

"If I need to fight him to keep you...then that's what I'll do" he pulled her in for a kiss before running to the door and opening it, Buffy stayed in the bedroom, not wanting to watch.

"There's nothing you can do about it! Buffy loves me! She doesn't love you anymore and I thought that she made it quite clear in the note not to try and change her mind!" she heard Spike yell between punches,

"I'm not trying to change her mind, I'm just doing to you what you deserve- you've destroyed my family and you need to pay!" Angel replied furiously.

At first Buffy heard a few punches, then her heart almost stopped when she heard a scream and the sound of somebody running away, she ran out immediately and gasped when she saw Spike lead on the floor, clutching at his side, she could see blood seeping through his fingers.

"Oh my God!" she gasped and ran up to him, he was barely conscious but spoke to her anyway,

"Buffy" he said,

"I'm here baby" she cooed, she grabbed a phone from the counter and dialled 911.

"I love you" he said before his eyes closed.

Angel into the bar and stormed straight up to the cheery barmaid, she looked over at him and smiled,

"Can I help you Angel?" she asked seductively,

"What's your name?" he asked her, leaning closer to her,

"Chantelle"

Angel grabbed her hand and pulled her into the car park where he pinned her against his car and proceeded to kissing her neck. She gasped as his hands slid up her exposed thigh and under her tiny leather mini skirt but didn't pull away, she had had her beady eye on him for a while now and now that he had come to her she wasn't going to waste the opportunity but she had to know,

"What about Buffy?" she managed to pant out as she fiddled with his belt buckle,

"Left me" he said,

"Awww...poor baby" she cooed and felt his throbbing cock with her light hands, this was going to be a great night...

Buffy sat in the hospital waiting room anxiously. It had been over an hour since they had brought Spike in and she still hadn't heard any news, she leaped up quickly when a doctor approached her.

"Mrs. Summers?"

"Yes?"

"Your boyfriend is going to be fine, he has lost a lot of blood and will have to stay here or a couple of nights but all in all he should make quite a quick and complete recovery" Buffy felt her whole body calm down, for a while she had actually thought that she was going to lose him.

"Can I see him?" she asked,

"Yes, follow me" Buffy followed the doctor lead as he led her down a long corridor and opened a door to her left.

He was sat up in the hospital bed with a scowl on his face but he brightened up when he saw Buffy,

"Hey" she said and kissed him softly, careful not to lean on his injury,

"Hey" he said back to her,

"I'm so sorry" she said collapsing into his arms, "I never should have left him a note, I should have just gone, then you wouldn't be here"

"No, it wasn't your fault, it was me. I shouldn't have gone to fight him" he said and she looked up at him and kissed him again,

"For a while back there I actually thought I'd lost you" she said holding back unshed tears,

"Well you didn't did you? I'm right here and I can go home in a couple of days"

Please review, lots of love,
