Bloody Hell

Chapter 21-

Everyone was starring at Spike as Buffy, unsure of exactly what to do, walked over to him and put her arms around him. "W-what's wrong?"
"Your friends! They don't like me!" He cried harder. Xander rolled his eyes, "Looks like baby boy can't handle the pressure."
"Shut up Xander." Buffy snapped. "I need to take him home, let him lie down." She started to pull Spike towards the door. Then her eyes turned to her friends. "Think about what I said. I need you in this. But if your not…there's nothing I can do about that."
She smiled sadly, "See you guys later."

Buffy took Spike's arm and led the silently weeping vampire back to his crypt. Willow was the first to speak. "I think we should lay off of her."
"What?" Xander stared at her open mouthed.
"Come on, Xand. She's going through a lot."
"Your telling me you're not upset about her sleeping with Spike?" He looked around the room. "Any of you!"
"Xander…" Willow sighed. "We are all upset, but we need to get over it. You heard Buffy, and she's right. She really needs us right now. And…so does Spike."
"Willow…"
"Xander…she's going to be a mother. You know…tiny little Buffy walking around? Sure Spike isn't the best choice…but we don't really have a choice, do we?"
Xander was quiet for a second, "You're right. And I think we should figure out why exactly Spike is pregnant."
Willow just smiled at her friend and his change of heart. "Good. Looks like it's time to hit the books." She said cheerfully before plopping down not so happy like, "Again."

Buffy put Spike to bed, assuring him that her friends did like him, and that it would just take some time. Climbing up the ladder to the top floor, she heard him calling her again. Hoping down, she was at his side. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I-I just don't want to be alone. Will you stay with me?"
Buffy smiled, "Of course." Spike scooted over and Buffy popped off her shoes and let Spike cuddle around her.

The next day, Buffy woke up to find Spike, lying on his back, hands behind his head, at the other end of the bed. "What's wrong?"
Spike seemed startled by her voice, and looked over her with a sad, pouty face. "I'mgonnagetfat." He mumbled.
"What?"
"I'm gonna get fat, and be unattractive with a large round stomach."
Buffy couldn't help but smile, if Spike could actually watch himself, the real, not pregnant Spike, he would be kicking himself. Er…his pregnant self. "You're worried about getting fat?"
"Yes, and it's not stupid! I'm gonna get fat! I'm gonna be a blimp with a baby inside!" He smiled after that, then spoke softly, "A baby."
"Yes", Buffy rolled over to be close to him. "A baby." She gave him a small kiss on the mouth, "Our baby." She kissed him again.

When the happy couple entered The Magic Box later that day they were holding hands and Spike had his other hand on his stomach, not really realizing it though.
Willow was the only one there. "Hey Wil."
The witch looked up. "Hey guys." Spike sat down at the table and looked at what Willow was reading.
"Where is everybody?" Buffy asked warily.
"Xander and Anya went home, Tara's at class, Dawn's at your house, and Giles is in the back."
"Dawn…oh god. I still haven't gotten to talk to her about all this. And my mom." Buffy groaned.
"It's okay. And I got some good news!"
"Really?" Spike asked.
"Well, maybe not good news, but news. I've been researching, and have pretty much been coming up blank, but I was thinking. Babies are grown in ovaries. Guys don't have ovaries. So I'm thinking Spike has mystical ovaries."
The couple just starred at her.
"What? That could be important!"
"No reason why Spike's pregnant though?"
"No…but we'll find something."
"We better. How do you think I should tell me mom?"
"Tell her what? That you're gonna have a baby or that your boyfriend is pregnant?"
"Both."
"Oh well…I'd butter her up first. Maybe have dinner with her and Dawn."
Buffy didn't answer, she was already picturing how she'd set that up.

"Hi. Mom, I was wondering…If you'd like to go out to dinner tonight. You and Dawn, and me and a uh, friend."
…
"Yeah okay. We'll pick you up at eight then. Okay. Love you too. Bye."
Buffy hung up the phone and put it in her pocket, turning to look at Spike, who was sound asleep in his bed.
"It's gonna be a long night."
