Chapter 2

4 months later...

"This would be so cute, Buffy." Willow said as she held up the little pink outfit that she found. Buffy scrunched up her nose at the choice.

"It's very pink. We don't even know if I'm having a girl. I think we should look for something blue just incase." Buffy replied and Willow nodded as she looked through more baby clothes. Buffy stopped when she felt a pain in her stomach. She then smiled when she realized what it was. "Willow, the baby just kicked!" Buffy exclaimed as she placed her hand over her abdomen. Willow looked just as excited and placed her hand over Buffy's, only to feel the baby kick again. They both had huge smiles on their faces now.

"Wow, she's gonna be a tough one." Willow stated and Buffy nodded in agreement. She decided not to correct Willow again about the fact that she doesn't know if she's having a girl.

"Yeah, but she's doing a number on my bladder at the moment. I'll be right back." Buffy said as she went to find a bathroom. Willow went back to looking at the baby clothes.

"Oh, bloody hell!" Buffy heard when she came out of the bathroom. She wondered why that voice sounded so familiar. She then noticed a man looking at a shelf that held baby blankets and other baby things. She got a good look at him and saw that he had very blonde hair that was obviously fake and he was wearing a long, leather coat. She couldn't see his face, but she would know that head anywhere.

"Well, what do we have here?" She said and the man turned around at her voice. His eyes grew big when he noticed the blonde girl standing behind him. He then had a smile on his face.

"Buffy Summers, well I'll be damned." He stated as he looked her up and down. Buffy only crossed her arms over her chest.

"Spike Reynolds, what brings you back here?" She wondered and Spike shrugged.

"Needed a change of scenery. You've put on some weight there, Summers." He said with his trademark smirk and Buffy dropped her arms to her side as she glared at him.

"I'm pregnant, if you must know." Spike knew that she was pregnant, but he missed annoying her. That was one of the things that he loved best about being in Sunnydale.

"So, I see Peaches finally knocked you up. Didn't know the ponce had it in him." He stated and tried not to let the anger show in his voice.

"Not that it's any of your business, but I haven't been with Angel since high school. He went to college in New York and I decided to stay here." Spike nodded and couldn't believe everything that he missed. He didn't even know that Buffy wasn't with Angel anymore. They were high school sweethearts and were so in love. It was enough to make him want to gag. He has always hated Angel with a passion, which is why he never got along well with Buffy.

"So, there's a new boy then?" Spike wondered and tried not to sound jealous. He didn't even know why he would be jealous. He could never stand the gorgeous blonde. He may have been gone for a few years, but Buffy was still just as gorgeous as ever. She looked pained for a moment and shook her head, breaking him out of his reverie.

"No, it's just me. We broke up and I'm dealing with having the baby by myself. I can handle it." She said and was surprised that she told him that much. She never liked the bleached moron. He always tried to make her life a living hell in high school. She may have always found him attractive, but he was too cocky for her taste. Spike felt bad when he noticed the look on her face, but he would never admit that to her.

"You sure you can handle that? Seems like a lot of responsibility." He told her and Buffy had a determined look on her face.

"I'm an adult now. It's not like I'm having this baby when I'm some teenager that doesn't know what the hell she's doing." Buffy then decided to change the subject. "So, why are you here? Did some girl actually let you get her pregnant?" Buffy stopped when she noticed an angry look on his face and wondered what she could have said that was so bad.

"I'm here for my uncle's wife. She's due in a few weeks and I decided to help out." He explained and Buffy seemed a little surprised, but she didn't say anything else about it.

"So, you're staying with Giles then? I haven't seen him since high school. How's he doing? I didn't know his wife was pregnant." She said and Spike shrugged.

"Well, you've had things on your mind. He's doing fine. He would probably really like to see you." Spike found himself saying and wondered where that came from. He realized that he was hoping to see her again.

"Yeah, I might just do that. Is she having a boy or girl?" Buffy wondered and Spike took a deep breath to try and calm himself. Being around Buffy and all of this baby stuff was really starting to get to him.

"She's having a boy." He replied and Buffy nodded as she looked at the baby blankets that he was looking at earlier. She smiled when she found one that she liked.

"Here, give her this one." Spike looked at the blanket that Buffy handed to him. It was blue with little white clouds all over it. He nodded and gave her a small smile.

"Thanks," he replied and Buffy smiled in return. She rarely saw this side of Spike.

"I should be getting back now. Good luck with everything." She told him and Spike looked just as surprised as she was, but he only nodded.

"Yeah, same to you." He said and realized that he really meant it. Buffy was about to turn away, when he spoke up again. "How far along are you?" He asked and she turned back to look at him.

"I have about 5 months left." She replied and Spike took another deep breath as he moved closer to her.

"May I?" He asked her and Buffy didn't even have to wonder what he was talking about. She nodded and gave him a smile. Spike smiled in return and then placed his hand over her belly. He smiled bigger when he felt the baby kick and Buffy noticed that he had tears in his eyes, but she figured it would be best not to say anything about it. He just pulled his hand away suddenly and stepped back from her. He only grabbed the baby blanket that she chose for him and walked away, without saying anything else. Buffy watched him go for a few seconds and thought about how much he has changed. She then shook her head and made her way back to Willow, actually hoping that she would see him again.
