Six Months Later

The incident was long forgotten in Ginny's mind. Although, when it first happened, she was going to send Xander a message, but decided not to do it. She wanted to leave the past in the past. That was until she discovered that she was pregnant.

It had been tough to hide it from her family, but luckily, she no longer lived in the Burrow or around her overbearing brothers, so it was a little easier to get around. The concealment charms would wear off and Ginny needed to be alone to keep them going.

Eventually, she reached her breaking point

"I'm pregnant."

"Ginny, wow, I mean, how did this happen?" the woman across from her asked shocked.

"Hermione, I think we both know how this happened," Ginny smiled. For someone so smart, she could be very naive.

"Right, of course, what I meant was when did this happen and with whom?" Hermione asked.

"About six or seven months ago with Xander Harris," Ginny's said.

"I don't know any Xander," Hermione looked confused. "Will we get to meet him?"

"You're so quick to include the rest of family. I haven't told anyone else but you Hermione."

"Oh! Well, I'm flattered, so when do I get to meet him?"

Ginny let out a little laugh and said in a quiet voice, "The thing is, I kinda went to America, and I may have had a one night stand with him."

Ginny was trying to gauge Hermione's reaction, but it was clear when she stood up from her chair and started yelling.

"You WHAT? How could you do something like that? What will your parents think?"

"Calm down, Hermione," Ginny said calmly.

"Fine, but you need to fix this," Hermione said sitting down again, hand to her head to collect herself.

"I will, I plan on telling him the truth and then we'll see what happens."

"I hope you know what you're doing?"

Though Ginny smiled, in the back of her mind, she was hoping for the same thing as Hermione. She had already set her plans in motion, but she wasn't sure if what she did was the right thing to do.

Hermione was about to apparate out of Ginny's flat but she stopped herself and looked at the younger girl, eyes boring into her. "What did you do?"

"I sent him his pants," Ginny said in a voice resembling a child.

"You kept his pants? After this long?"

"I said I was trying to think of a special way to tell him; the pants seemed like a funny idea," Ginny shrugged.

A Few Days Later

Xander Harris was bored again. After the Las Vegas incident, his spontaneity had really taken a hit. The only thing he ever did nowadays was travel across the world recruiting slayers. It may have sounded fun since he did get a chance to visit places that people rarely saw, but after awhile, it got dull. Add that to the fact that whenever he did go to another country, it was all work and no play.

He was in the elevator of the new Council, going down to the first floor. When he exited, the secretary, Joanna, had informed him of a phone call.

"Xander Harris," he spoke in his professional voice.

"I didn't think you had it in you."

Xander was confused at what the person said, but he recognized the voice as Faith, the second chosen slayer. She was currently in Cleveland, balancing the job of protecting the Hellmouth with other slayers, and recruiting any that followed the presence of the darkness emanating from it.

"Well, I am in me, so technically, you're wrong," Xander said confusing himself.

"Even though that just confused the hell out of me, I'll still say, you definitely grew a pair in the last few months."

"What did I do now, Faith?"

"It's not what you did, so much as who you did," Faith started to laugh.

"What are you talking about?" Xander started to get nervous. He had only slept with one person is these few months, but Faith couldn't have known about it. Only Buffy and Willow knew, and being the best friends that they are, they would never tell, least of all, Faith.

"You don't have to lie, since I have here a pair of your jeans in my hands right now. I smell detergent so I can only assume whoever did this, wanted you to not have to worry about them getting dirty. She sent them wrapped up in this green bag."

"Green bag, you say?" Xander asked, rubbing the sweat from his forehead.

"Yup, and with a yellow bow," Faith finished, "I feel like I'm going to vomit now, if you know what I mean."

"Was she there?" Xander asked anxious.

"Nope, they were delivered at our door but it says that she's coming to visit anyway."

'Curse those business cards! Curse them to hell!' Xander thought.

"She thinks I live there?"

"Don't worry, she left her number. I called her and told her that you would be at the Council," Faith said sinisterly. "She lives in England, y'know. She'll definitely be going to your place within the next day!"

Before Xander could say anything, she hung up. Xander was left standing there with his mouth open. Joanna took the phone away from him when she saw saliva coming down his face.

"Xander, your mouth," Joanna offered a tissue, which Xander took, embarrassment covering his face.

Next Day

Xander knocked on Buffy's door. He knew that Willow would be in there and waited for Buffy to say something.

He finally got the courage to talk to them. He had been battling with himself about telling them the news. Though if he didn't, then surely Faith would have called them.

He hoped they would understand, considering they've all had run-ins with something career destroying.

"It's open!" she yelled.

Xander walked in calmly and sat on the edge of Buffy's bed. Willow was sitting at the desk, while sat at the head of the bed. They waited for Xander to speak.

"Remember in Vegas when…"

"When you slept with a random stranger and left her there the next morning?" Willow finished, a little amusement in her voice.

"We have a vague recollection," Buffy said, waving her hand in a dismissive way.

"Well," Xander said, attempting to stall. "She's here!"

When Xander finished speaking a woman knocked on the doorframe and walked inside the room. Buffy's and Willow's eyes moved from Xander and took notice of the woman.

"Are you two related?" Buffy asked looking between Willow and the woman, clearly stunned by the resemblance.

"They aren't," Xander rushed. "Trust me. But anyway, this is Ginny Weasley."

"Hello," Ginny said shyly.

Willow stared at Ginny intently. There was something about her, but Willow couldn't put her finger on it. Whatever was inside Ginny, Willow had something similar to it.

"So, not trying to be rude, but, what are you doing here?" Buffy asked.

"Well," Xander spoke for Ginny, "I found out this morning, that I'm going to be a father."

Whatever thoughts were running through Willow's mind about Ginny was pushed aside for the words that Xander spoke.

"How, you don't look pregnant and that "moment" had to have happened months ago," Buffy said baffled at how the woman who claimed to be pregnant showed no signs of it.

"Well," Ginny searched for an answer. She couldn't tell them the truth, so she tried to change the subject to what they were going to do.

"You have to meet my parents."

"You're a witch."

The four occupants in the room heard what both Willow and Ginny said.

"Parents?" Xander freaked.

"Close enough to a demon magnet for me," Buffy said with a triumphant look on her face.
