Chapter 13- The Doc
"Okay, so what do we do?" Spike asked, now
the calmest person in the room, for a reason nobody knew.
"Well,
we could ask a doctor to do a uh, ultra-sound thingy." Anya
suggested.
Spike's scarred eye brow rose again, "And tell
them what exactly, luv? I'm part woman?"
"Good point."
Anya nodded.
"Ah ha!" Willow stood up.
"I do believe
Red has snapped." Spike laid himself down on the table, cupping his
hands over his eyes.
"I got it! We can use a glamour! WE can
make Spike look like a woman!"
"Hell no." Spike sat up.
"It is the only way. So, it's settled Willow will set Spike up,
looking like a girl, and he'll go to the doctor. Now, who's
taking him?"
"I will." Angel said, slightly worried about
his childe.
Spike's eyes got huge as he mentally begged for
Buffy to speak up.
"No. I'll go. To uh, keep an eye on him."
"It's settled then. I'll call you in a appointment."
Willow stood in the middle of The Magic Box's now cleared room. She
had had Xander move all the furniture to the side of the room so she
could have her space to do the spell.
Buffy came in fallowed
closely by a cover covered (try and say that ten times fast!
:-p) Spike.
"Okay, Buffy, we have a little change of plans."
"And that would be?" Buffy said, helping the vampire into a
chair, he wasn't feeling good again.
"Well, we found out that
nobody but the father of the baby, or if the girl is underage, the
mother, would be allowed to go in the room with Spike. And even if we
made Spike a teenage girl, you wouldn't look old enough to be his
mom. So…we're making you the father. Of the baby. If there is
one."
"So…I have to be a guy!" Buffy whined.
Ten
minutes later everyone was gathered in the room. Willow was making a
big circle, connected to two little circles, on each side of the big
one, with sand. "Okay, now, everybody stand back, Buffy, come over
here in the right circle and Spike, you in the left." Willow took a
seat in the middle one.

Every
looked around. The spell didn't seem to work. Buffy looked down at
her hands, arms, body, and legs. Buffy screamed.
Spike started to
laugh. Everyone else just stood there.
"Will!" Buffy cried.
"I look like Spike. I am Spike!"
Willow stood up, "You
are not Spike. You just look like him, is all. But you're still
you. Well, on the inside. Your gooey parts are. Your insides. But um,
you look like each other."
"And you just left this part
out!?" Buffy almost screamed.
"No. I told you. I would make
you look like the dad. And I figured that it would just be easier to
do a small reversing spell. It'll wear off in a few hours."
Willow looked at her friend nervously.
"Shut up." Buffy
scolded the still laughing Spike.
"Sorry…it's…just I've
never…been a…girl…before." He tried to speak between laughs.
Then Dawn broke, joining Spike, soon Anya, Willow, Xander, and
even Giles were laughing. Tara tried to respect Buffy's feelings
and not join in, but she couldn't stop the big smile that was
spread across her face.
"Fine. I'm glad you all think this
is funny! Maybe I should just go get a big tattoo of a unicorn on
Spike's back." She directed the last part especially to the
bleached blonde vampire.
"Oh no you don't!" Spike walked
up to her, pointing at her with an accusing finger.
"I wouldn't
do that Buffy." Willow said. "Whatever happens to his body…when
the spell is ended, will be on yours."
Buffy sighed. "Great.
We're leaving." Buffy said grabbing Spike by the shirt, her
shirt, and walking him out of the shop.
They were walking to the
doctor's office and Buffy was still mumbling about being a guy.
"What's the matter, luv? You never had a problem with my body
before." He smirked.
"Yeah, well…that was before it was
mine."
"You okay, pet?"
"Yeah, just a little
annoyed."
"That it?"
"What do you mean is that it?
What do you want me to say, I'm dying? I'm depressed into a black
pit? Doesn't less to complain about equal good?"
"Well,
yeah. Just that your not in that best o' moods."
Buffy
stopped, turning to face him, "Well, it seems my boyfriend is going
to the doctor to find out if he is pregnant."
Spike just
smiled.
"What are you all grinny about?"
Spike mentally
noted that his body looked funny when pouting. "You called me your
boyfriend."
"Yeah well, you are, aren't you?"
He
nodded, "I am. It's just nice to hear you say 'tis all."
She smiled herself. She looked into his eyes, and kissed him.
Not
a second pasted before they both rapidly pulled back.
"Ugh!"
Spike wiped his mouth.
"Ewww. I just kissed myself!" Buffy
complained. They looked into each other's eyes for a moment. And
laughed.
