Okay, I'm finally back with this story. I really hope ya'll are still interested in it. I actually don't think it was that long of a wait though, but I guess for me it would be because I'm usually a pretty fast updater. I should be getting back to the fast updates from now on. Anyway, hope everyone likes this chapter!

Chapter 10

"I should be there with her." Spike said as he continued to pace back and forth in the living room.

"You couldn't because it's daylight. Buffy didn't want to risk anything happening to you just so you could go to the appointment with her. You'll just have to be patient and wait until she gets back." Willow said and Spike turned a glare on her.

"I was never very patient. What if something's wrong with her?" He said seriously.

"I'm sure Buffy's fine, Spike. She wouldn't want you to worry." Willow said trying to calm him down and he nodded.

"I just hate this waiting around. It's driving me bloody crazy." Dawn and Alyssa were sitting down in silence not sure what to say when the front door opened and Buffy walked in. Spike went to her immediately and stopped when he saw the look on her face. "What happened? Is everything alright?" He asked and she grabbed his arm and pulled him back into the living room where the others were. She looked at all of them and then turned to Willow.

"I think you need to call Xander and get him here." Willow nodded and went to the phone without even saying anything when Buffy called her back. "I think you should call Anya, too. I want everyone here." Willow nodded again and walked away. Spike continued to be nervous.

"Buffy, what is it?" Spike asked again and Buffy tried to calm him down.

"I'll tell everyone when they get here." Spike wasn't happy that he had to wait longer, but he nodded anyway. Xander showed up about 15 minutes later and Anya a little after that.

"Do I have to baby-sit Dawn again?" Anya asked getting right to the point and Dawn glared at her as she remained silent. Buffy just shook her head.

"Alright, so what's going on? Did the doctor's appointment not go well?" Xander asked and Buffy looked at everyone and took a deep breath before she spoke.

"It went fine, but there's something I have to tell you all." They nodded and waited for her to explain. She took another breath and just decided to tell them. "I'm pregnant." She said very easily and was greeted by shocked expressions from everyone. They were all quiet when Dawn suddenly squealed and stood up, enveloping Buffy in a huge hug.

"Oh my god, Buffy! I'm gonna be an aunt! This is so cool!" Buffy hugged her back and was relieved at her sister's excitement. Alyssa didn't really know what to say even though she was happy for Buffy. She didn't know these people very well so she figured it would be best to stay quiet.

"Congratulations, Buffy." Willow said as she hugged her also followed by Xander. Anya just smiled and patted Buffy on the back.

"Way to go, Buffy. That must have been one very good orgasm." Alyssa spit out the water that she was drinking at what Anya said and Dawn went to pat her on the back as she started to choke.

"Sorry, we should have warned you about Anya. She tends to be like that." Dawn told her and Alyssa nodded and still remained quiet as her choking subsided. Buffy rolled her eyes and then turned her gaze on Spike who hasn't said anything since her announcement. She was really worried about what he would think of it. Willow decided to be the one to speak up.

"Well, I think that's our cue to leave. Let's go upstairs guys." She said to the two teenagers as they nodded and headed up the stairs. Xander watched them go and turned back to Buffy.

"Right, I'll just go with them." He said as he also headed for the stairs when he noticed that Anya wasn't moving. He went back and grabbed her arm, ignoring her scowl as he pulled her up the stairs leaving Buffy and Spike alone. Spike was still quiet after they left and she couldn't take it anymore.

"Are you going to say anything?" She asked and he then looked up at her.

"Is it mine?" She was surprised by his question and then grew angry.

"No, it's Xander's. Of course it's yours, dumbass. I haven't been with anyone else." Spike saw that he upset her and went over to her.

"I'm sorry, love. It's just that last time I checked I was a vampire. We're not exactly capable of having children." Buffy sighed.

"I don't know how this happened, but it did. We're going to have a baby and I need to know that you're okay with this." Spike wrapped his arms around her in a hug to assure her that he was.

"Of course I'm okay with it, just took by surprise is all. I can't believe I'm going to be a father. I never thought this could happen to me. I don't deserve it." Buffy pulled away to look at him and noticed tears in his eyes.

"Yes, you do. You were robbed of ever having a real life. This is your second chance, Spike." She said as she placed his hand on her stomach. "This is our second chance." Spike smiled as he kissed her and brought his hand up to cup her face. He pulled away after a while to let her breathe.

"I love you." He whispered and she smiled back at him.

"I love you, too. Don't ever forget that." He would never forget.
