Bloody Hell

Chapter 19- Reactions

Buffy looked into Spike's eyes. Then she looked at her friends who were surrounding them. She knew they knew. But…it was too much. She looked at Spike again.
"I'm sorry."
He looked at her with confusing but then knew. Buffy stood up; taking one more look at her friends and ran out of The Magic Box. "Shit." Spike swore under his breath, getting up from his seat. He looked at the door then swung around, facing the gang. His face seemed to ask permission. Giles nodded in understanding and watched as Spike, with all his vampire speed, ran out of the shop.
"Lot of information to take in, in thirty seconds." Dawn sat down, or fell into the chair behind her.
"I'm going home. Come on Anya." Xander walked out the door followed by the blonde.
"Why didn't she tell me?" Willow turned, facing Tara, a look of horror on her face.
"Maybe she was worried you'd get that look on your face…the one you have right now."
"Look? What look? There's no look."
"Sweetie, you look like you are about to throw up." Tara spoke softly.
"M-maybe we should go home. Come on Dawnie, well walk you home on our way."

"I don't see what the big deal is." Anya shrugged as her and Xander walked into their apartment.
"What the big deal is?! Anh…" Xander sighed. "She's with another vampire. And we all know how well that worked out last time."
"Yes, but Spike doesn't have a soul to lose." She walked into their bedroom.
Xander followed her in, "Yes! He does not have a soul! How is that a positive thing? Dead. Soulless. Evil. Those are his recommendations! And now pregnant!" Xander sat down on the bed next to Anya. "And she didn't tell us! I think we deserved to know! We're her friends."
Anya stood up and looked at Xander angrily. "You know what I think, Xander? I think you still want her to come and pick you! I think you're still not over you're little Buffy crush, and it's bothering you that she picked a vampire over you, again And I think you need to get over her. And over yourself! Now, when you do that why don't you call me!" She yelled, storming off.
"Anya!" He called after her, but it was too late, she was already gone. He flopped back and his bed and sighed.

Willow lay in Tara's bed at her dorm. "Am I not a good friend?"
"Oh course you are honey." Tara got in beside Willow.
"She could have told me." Willow flopped on her back, starring at the ceiling. "She used to tell me everything."
"Maybe she was scared. I mean, you saw her when she left the shop."
"Yeah, but she shouldn't be afraid of her friends!"
"I think you should go easy on her. She's been threw a lot the last five years. And isn't being the Slayer supposed to mean she can handle everything on her own? Maybe she was just trying not to burden you with her problems."
"Since when is just telling me 'Hey Willow, Spike is my boyfriend.' her laying burdens on me?"
"Just give it time. Talk to her. She's probably just as upset as you, or more. I mean, she did find out she's going to be a mom."
"And we don't even know if it's human." Willow nodded. "I guess I'll just talk to her when she's ready. I didn't think how hard this must be for her." Willow turned over again, smiling at Tara. "Thanks."
"For what?"
"Bein' you."

Giles sat in the living room of his flat; drink in one hand, a book in the other.
I must be the first watcher ever to have a slayer who has not only been with a vampire, but two vampires. And if not, I know I am the first watcher who has ever had a slayer who got her vampire boyfriend pregnant. What can I say? I was always an over achiever.

Dawn was lying on her bed thinking about her sister.
Buffy and Spike. Wow. I can't believe Buffy is going to be a mom. Uh oh, mom's gonna freak.

Spike walked into his crypt, after thirty minutes of searching for Buffy with no luck. He cussed; climbing down to the lower level, but froze with what he saw. Buffy was sitting on his bed. Her legs were brought up to her knees, as she hugged herself.
"Luv?" He sat down on the bed, wrapping his arms around her.
"I'm sorry." She cried.
"For what?"
"Leaving like that…but it was too much…just too…"
"Shh…" He hugged onto her for a moment. "It's okay."
"No it's not. Spike…my dream…"
"Was just a dream."
"I don't think so. She was there, and she told me that the monsters would get her…" Buffy pulled away from him, looking into his eyes. Tear-filled green met sharp blue. "…because I forgot. I tried to live a normal life. And I p-promised her I wouldn't forget. But then she started to dance around…that I was so caught up in her…just looking at her…that I forgot to protect her. A minute after I promised her, I let her die."
"Buffy, luv, it wasn't your fault. It was just a dream. We'll get threw this, you an' me. We'll get threw talking to your friends, and we'll get threw this twisted pregnancy, and we'll have something great out of all of it, and we will protect her. I promise." Buffy smiled and kissed Spike lightly. Pulling back, Spike wiped the tears off of her cheeks.
Buffy laughed quietly, "Here I always thought women cried because they were pregnant, I guess that's not the reason."
Spike laughed. "How about we get some sleep then? Gotta long day tomorrow."
Spike laid down, Buffy with him. "Uh, oh."
"What?"
"My mom is gonna freak."
