Chapter 6

**************************************************************************** ***

"Mmmm" Buffy moaned "Where are you going?" she asked.

"Just to the lou. I'll be right back. Don't worry" Spike replied. He gave her a kiss of the forehead and then headed to the bathroom.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Joyce stepped into the room.

"Good morning" she said.

"Hi mom" Buffy replied.

"How was your sleep?" Joyce asked.

"Good, it felt great to not be in that institution anymore" Buffy said.

"You're probably wondering why I'm not in the same room that I started in last night," Buffy said as Spike came back into the room.

"The thought did cross my mind" Joyce replied.

"It's just that I've missed Spike so much and I just wanted to feel safe again and when I'm in his arms is when I feel the safest. You don't know what it's like to sleep in that institution and wonder every night if that creepy doctor is going to come into your room" Buffy said.

"I'm so sorry sweetie," Joyce said "I wish that I could have been there with you," she added.

Spike walked over to Buffy and gave her a hug. He gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"I'll leave you two alone" Joyce said, "Oh and there are some people coming over at 11:00. They work at the gallery and they've become like children to me. I think that you'll really like them," Joyce said.

"Okay mom" Buffy replied.

"Bye" Spike said.

"Bye" Joyce replied.

Buffy smiled happily, she was lying on the bed and Spike had his head on her stomach. He was talking to the baby.

"Say luv, have you thought at all about what you want to name the baby?" Spike asked.

"Well a while ago I did decide on some names, but I don't want those names anymore. I want to pick names with you" Buffy said.

"What were the names that you chose before?" Spike asked.

"Emma-Lee for a girl and Carter William for a boy" Buffy replied.

"Are there any special people in your life that you might want to name the baby after?" Spike questioned.

"Well I was thinking that if it's a girl I would like to have her middle name be Dawn" Buffy said.

"It's a perfect middle name" Spike replied. Spike froze, remembering his promise to Dawn.

"When I was looking for you I ran into Dawn. I promised her that I would go back for her once you were safe" Spike said.

"Don't worry we'll find a way to get her" Buffy said.

"Right, but right now let's think about happier things...like what we are going to name our baby" Spike replied.

"Okay, so Dawn as the middle name and....what girls names do you like?" she asked.

"Amie" Spike replied.

"Awwww, I love the name Amie" Buffy said.

"Good, so if we have a girl her name will be Amie Dawn" Spike stated.

"Amie Dawn...it's perfect" Buffy exclaimed.

"And what about for a boy?" Spike asked.

"My grampa's name was Mackenzie and I would love it if we could have his name as our baby's middle name" Buffy said.

"Okay, I had a cousin who passed away at a very young age and his name was Adam" Spike said.

"I'm sorry about your cousin" Buffy said.

"It was a long time ago, but I always told myself that I would name my son after him" Spike said.

"Adam Mackenzie...it has a nice ring to it" Buffy said.

"Thank-you...the fact that you're willing to name our son Adam means a lot to me" Spike said.

"No problem. It's a nice name" Buffy replied.

Buffy gazed over at the clock on the bedside table. It was 10:45.

"My mom's friends will be here soon. We should get dressed," Buffy said.

"You're right" Spike replied, but didn't move.

"That means you have to take your head off my stomach so I can get up" Buffy laughed.

"Fine" Spike sighed, getting up and then helping Buffy up.

Buffy, Spike and Faith were sitting in the kitchen having a snack that Joyce had fixed them.

"Honey I'm Home" a voice called from the front hall.

"They're here" Joyce said leading Buffy, Spike and Faith into the living where Joyce's friends had already sprawled themselves around the room.

"You guys, this is Buffy my daughter, her boyfriend Spike and her friend Faith" Joyce said.

"Hey" said a brown haired man sitting in a chair at the end of the room.

"Hi" said a red head as she gave a little wave.

And the girl with long brown hair who was sitting on the couch just smiled at them.

"And these are the people who eat all my food, Xander, Willow and Cordelia" Joyce said and pointed to each person as she said their name.

"Hi" Buffy, Spike and Faith all said at once.

"I'll be right back, I'm just going to let Rupert know you're here" Joyce said as she left the room.

Buffy, Spike and Faith sat down on the couch.

"Buffy we've heard so much about you. It's great to finally meet you" Willow said. Buffy smiled.

"It's nice to know that there has been someone around here keeping my mom on her toes" Buffy said.

After a few moments of silence Cordelia spoke up.

"I'm don't mean to be rude, but...are you two pregnant?" Cordy asked.

"Cordelia" Willow hissed.

"No Willow it's okay. Yes we are pregnant," Buffy said.

"Is Spike the father of your baby?" Cordy asked Buffy.

"Ya, he is" Buffy replied smiling at Spike and giving him a kiss.

"Where's your baby's father?" Cordy asked Faith.

Faith started to fidget with her hands and she all of a sudden found the carpet very interesting.

"We don't talk about him. He was an asshole" Buffy whispered to Cordelia.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Faith" Cordy said.

"No, it's okay. I've moved on. I don't even think about him anymore" Faith replied.

"So how far along are you two?" Xander asked.

"I'm four and a half months along and Faith is...." Buffy started to say, but Faith finished for her.

"I'm almost five months," Faith said.

"Oh, so Faith is further along than Buffy" Willow said.

"Ya" Buffy replied.

"Oh my god I have the best idea ever" Cordelia exclaimed.

"What?" Buffy asked.

"We should all go shopping for baby clothes and accessories" Cordy replied.

"That would be so much fun," Willow said.

"Oh god, Spike and I don't have to come do we?" Xander sighed.

"Oh course you do. If you don't come who's gonna carry the bags?" Cordy said.

It was decided the six of them would go baby shopping the next day.
