Will was surprised to see Buffy banging around the kitchen when he came home. "You're late" she snapped.
"I got held up in a meeting," Will explained putting his briefcase on the couch and walking into the kitchen to face Buffy.
"I'm sure" she said sarcastically.
"Are you alright Luv? You haven't acted like this since …" he let the sentence die in his mouth. He couldn't accuse her of drinking, not after all she been through giving it up.
"Since I drank tequila," She finished for him in a gruff manner slamming the pots and pan drawer violently. "It may surprise you to know that pregnant women have these things called mood swings."
Will could tell she was hiding something, but decided not to push it. If Buffy didn't want to tell him what was upsetting her he wouldn't prod. "Okay, well you why don't you just lay down and relax and I'll finish fixing dinner, yeah."
"That sounds wonderful," Buffy whispered weakly her anger going away.
Buffy went and laid down on the bed and Will went looked around the kitchen to figure out how to finish dinner and prepare his surprise.

"Thank you," Buffy smiled at Will over the dinner table an hour later.
Will had to admit that the nap she had taken, had improved Buffy's mood considerable. Maybe even enough for him to spring his surprise. "My pleasure pet, but we still have dessert." He smiled kissing her as he picked up their dinner plates and took them into the kitchen, returning a few moments later with two individual chocolate cupcakes.
"I'm not supposed to eat chocolate." Buffy reminded him teasingly.
"You are tonight," Will said playing along with the joke.
"What makes tonight special?" Buffy asked questioningly.
"You'll see," Will smiled secretively.
With a look of suspicion Buffy started eating the cupcake, but stopped when she found something hard inside of it. "What" she asked, before she pulled the diamond ring out of the cupcake.
"With everything going on, I wanted to find the right time to ask you." Will explained walking over to her and bending down on one knee. "Buffy Summers, will you marry me?"
Buffy just started crying.
