This kinda took me a while longer than the others because I couldn't decide on Giles' reaction but I think I finally got somewhere lol. Please R and R.

Buffy woke with a start, but feeling better than last night and less tearful, maybe she'd cried herself dry? She couldn't believe she'd broke down like that in front of Willow, but she was feeling better today. Stronger.

She sighed, getting up, getting a quick shower and changed.

She wondered when she would start to get bigger and whether she could just not tell the others til then. She knew that she couldn't do that, but in every way possible she didn't want to do this.

She contemplated who she would go to see first. She decided on Giles, get the worst over with first. Would he be disappointed in her? He had always been like her dad and this was going to be more difficult than she even realized.

She took a deep breath and on her way to Giles's room, a thousand different scenarios crossed her mind, none like what actually happened.

Buffy knocked lightly on Giles' door, part of her praying he wouldn't be in but she heard footsteps then the door opened and hey presto, there was Giles.

"Oh, Buffy, what a nice surprise, do come in," Giles said in his manner which was half stuttery and always made Buffy think he was nervous.

Buffy walked in giving a small smile.

"How can I assist you?" Giles asked pleasantly, his face dropping a little at Buffy's facial expression, he wondered what was wrong.

"I have something to tell you," Buffy said, biting her lip nervously.

Giles nodded, "Please sit down," he said gesturing towards two beds in his room.

Buffy sat down, Giles opposite her, she looked at the floor, taking another deep breath.

"There's really no way I can say this - " Buffy started.

Giles sat patiently, not interrupting but worried, this didn't sound good. Not good at all.

Buffy cleared her throat, "Well everyone knew me and Spike were, well, together but - " Buffy paused again, "I don't know how and I can't understand why but, I'm pregnant."

Silence, never good, Buffy thought to herself.

"That the real reason you fainted?" Giles asked.

Not what I was hoping for but its a start, Buffy nodded.

Giles stood up, taking his glasses off and cleaning them then popping them back on, "Buffy," he started looking at her, "I don't see why had to live to us."

Buffy looked at the floor.

"At times I didn't quite - approve of Spike but you cared for each other."

"Loved - each other," Buffy cut in, everyone wasn't getting away with thinknig it was some kind of fling, it was love even if SPike himself didn't think she felt the same.

Giles nodded, "The point is, you shouldn't have lied."

"I didn't want you to be disappointed in me," Buffy said a few tears welling.

Giles gave a sad smile, "Never. I might not have approved of Spike but like you pointed out you loved each other and you were both adults."

Buffy shed more tears at Giles' use of "were." Everywhere she went seemed to point out that Spike was gone and not coming back.

"I'm sorry, about Spike," Giles said softly, "Are you keeping the baby?"

Buffy looked up, "It's the only thing left I have of Spike."

Giles nodded, "The next while is going to be tough but I will be there in everyway I can," he said, smiling supportively.

Buffy stood up, "That went a lot better than thought," she said wiping away the tears that had fallen, "Thanks."

Giles smiled, "Do the others know?"

Buffy shook her head, "Not yet. Willow does but she figured a lot of it out."

Giles nodded, "I'll see you in a while, I'm guessing," he said giving her a quick hug.

Buffy gave a sad smile then went back to her room, she couldn't face telling the others. She decided to go see Willow. She went to her room and knocked, walking in.

Willow smiled, "Hey Buffy."

"Hey, um.. i just wanted to say thanks for earlier."

Willow smiled, "What friends are for."

"And I was wondering if you would do me a favour?" Buffy asked feeling kind of bad for asking this but she didn't want the others to think she was telling them last then again she'd already dealt with more than she thought she could handle at this time.

"What is it?" Willow asked.

Buffy sighed, "Tell the others, I told Giles but I can't face the rest just now."

Willow nodded, "Of course. How did he take it?"

Buffy smiled, "Pretty well,"

Willow smiled, "See I knew it was all going to be OK."

Buffy smiled then turned around and walked out, "Thanks."
