Chapter 11- Surprise!
"Could you repeat that last part?" Giles
cleaned his glasses.
"His heart, there is a heart beat…coming
from Spike."
There was an eerie silence around the room.
Xander burst out laughing.
Both vampires turned to the boy.
"Haha, Angel. Very funny, stop it."
"It's not a joke
Xander, shut up, you don't know anything about it."
"Lay
off me dead boy."
"Shut up you nit! What are you talking
about Peaches?"
"You son of a bitch, you know what I'm
talking about! The ONE thing I wanted, and of course, you HAD to take
it away from me!"
"What the hell are you going on about?"
Spike got up off the table.
"Yeah Angel, what's going on?"
Buffy walked over to him.
"Shan shu! It was supposed to mine!
It's a prophecy. A vampire with a soul will be rewarded with his
humanity. Except it seems our dear little SPIKEY here, got to skip to
the end of the story, with out even getting a soul!" Angel stepped
back from Spike, only to pull forward and punch his childe in the
face.
Spike fell to the ground, tears in his eyes. "That…was
mean!" The whole room got quite for a moment. All except Xander,
who was rolling on the floor laughing. After a minute or two, Giles
said, "Maybe it's an uh, human emotion thing kicking in?"
"I'm not human!" Spike stood up. "I am not human! I am not
turning human! I think I would know if I was. Now, Peaches, you're
gonna get your ass over here, right now, find out what's really
wrong with me, or you can go to hell! And stay there this time!"
The room was silent again.
Angel walked over to Spike. He put
his head on Spike's chest.
"Um…" Spike said, putting his
hands on his grandsire's shoulders and pulled him off, "I like
girls."
Angel rolled his eyes. "I'm listening to the
heart-beat you dumb-ass." Angel put his head back on Spike's
chest. Pulling back after ten full minutes of uncomfortable
closeness, Angel said, "Giles get out the books. I think we have a
bigger problem."
"What kind of problem?" Tara spoke up.
"I think…I think, Spike's…pregnant."
