Buffy got back to her dorm room to find it empty. Willows probably in class now. She looked at the clock on the bedside table. I've got an hour before my next class. She thought as she laid down on her bed.

"Human coordination leaving something to be desired."

"No, it's perfect."

Buffy bolted up in bed panting. "What the hell?" Buffy looked around the room. The sun had set only moments ago. She got out of bed to change when she noticed a note from Willow.

Buffy,

Hey when I got back you were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you. Xander, Anya and I are going to the Bronze, if you want to meet us there.

Willow.

Buffy placed the note on the desk and left.

Giles' Flat

"Hey Giles." Buffy said as she entered the small condo.

"Hello Buffy, is there anything I can help you with?" He asked coming out of the kitchenette.

"Actually I need to talk to Spike." She said turning to face the vampire who was lounging on the couch.

"Hello Slayer."

"Hey Spike, can we talk?" She asked the vampire.

"Sure, lets go outside." He said getting up from the couch and grabbing his coat, as he followed the slayer out.

Outside

"So luv, what is it?" Spike asked as they strolled towards Restfield Cemetery.

"Well I went to the doctors today." She said.

Spike stopped and looked at her waiting for her to continue.

"It's been confirmed. I'm pregnant and your theory on who the dad is may be right too. I'm a month pregnant. Doctor said the baby was probably conceived around Thanksgiving." She told him.

"Do you know how?" He asked her softly.

Buffy looked down and whispered "No".

"We'll figure it out." He said putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

Buffy looked at him and bit shocked and confused. "Why are you helping me?" She asked, tears threatening to spill at a moments notice.

"Many reasons." He said cryptically. When he didn't continue, Buffy just nodded.

"So luv, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know." She answered as they continued walking. "I do know that I don't want to raise my child on the hellmouth."

"Where do you want to go?"

"I don't know, I want to go back to LA but…"

"But Peaches is there." Spike finished. "What ever you choose, I'll be behind you 100 of the way. I'll be with you as long as you want."

Buffy stopped and looked at Spike. "Thank you." She sighed. The battle to keep her tears at bay ended with her tears wining as she began to cry. "What am I going to do Spike? I'm not even nineteen yet, and I'm going to have a child that in all aspects should not be possible." She cried.

Spike grabbed her pulling her into a hug. "Buffy everything will be alright. You'll get through this, that's what you hero types do." He said stroking her hair.

Spike this is different. This is a child not a demon I need to stop. I can stick wood in vampires and save the world from unstoppable evils but I can't raise a child."

"Luv you can and you will. We'll do it together. Now wipe your eyes and lets kill something." He said with a smile.

Buffy smiled back. "Okay, let's go kill some of your friends." She said with a tint of humor in her voice.
