A/N: I noticed that the format on the last chapter was a little off. I hope this one will be better.
Chapter 2: The Next Morning
The next morning Willow dragged herself out of bed and got ready half-heartedly. She knew that she wasn't going to see Spike today no matter where she went, but she clung to a little hope that he would still be in Sunnydale.
On her way to the Magic Box she stopped by his crypt. Once again she found it empty. Pushing back her tears she continued on her way.
"Hey Wills" Xander said once she arrived at the store.
"Hey guys, what's up" She responded trying to sound happy.
"Oh you know a new monster that wants me gone." Buffy said going back to the book she was looking at.
"Ah, I think I found it." Giles said moving towards Buffy to show her the picture.
"Yup, that's my new friend." Buffy said taking the book from Giles, "He doesn't seem that bad but maybe we should get Spike to help out." She added turning towards Willow.
"Spikes gone," Willow said once again fighting back tears but losing, "I found a note attached to his crypt's door yesterday."
"Oh, Willow I'm so sorry." Buffy moved to comfort Willow. Willow leaned into her embrace, "How about tonight we have girl night. I think I know where this guy is," she said glancing at the open book, "and after I kick his ass we can watch movies and pig out on ice-cream."
Willow nodded into Buffy's shoulder and mumbled something that sound like yes. Buffy continued to rub Willow's back until her sobs quieted down.
Willow didn't remember how she had gotten home after they're meeting at the Magic Box but she was safe and sound waiting for Buffy to return with movies and sweets.
She pulled out her calendar to check what times her classes were the next day. Lucky for her they were all in the afternoon. She noticed that she had circled no days indicating her "friend's visit" for the past 2 months. She thought back wondering if she just forgotten to circle the days. She realized that the calendar was true. There was a good chance that she was pregnant.

A/N: Thanks to Karmawiccan for reviewing. That review basically made this chapter happen. You'll have to wait and see for the ending. Sorry if it wasn't that good but I wanted to get another chapter out there. The next one will be better, hopefully.
