Ketherandsandy4ever: It's time to find out what they want from Buffy and Spike. I'm glad that all of you have enjoyed reading this. And the reason all of this is happening in my story is that the little plot bunnies made me do it.

Buffy ran through the cemetery with a man following close behind her. She turned and ran right into another man. Panicking, she began to hit him as he held her by the arms.
"Buffy! Buffy, calm down. It's me, pet." the voice said. It was Spike. Relieved, Buffy flung her arms around him.
"We have to go. He not far behind. Hurry!" Buffy said as she pulled him with her.
"Who, pet?"
Before she could answer, the man shot a crossbow at Spike, piercing his heart and turning him to dust. Buffy dropped to her knees and cried. The man came up behind her and dragged her to her feet.
"He can't help you. No one can help you."
Buffy sat up screaming. She quickly searched the room for Spike and found him rushing to her side to comfort her.
"What's wrong, Buffy?" he asked.
"It… it was a dream. It was just a dream." Buffy replied burying her head in Spike's chest and crying.
"Shh… it's going to be okay. It's all going to be okay." Spike whispered trying to comfort the petit blonde.
Buffy pulled away and walked into the bathroom. She turned the warm water on and opened the cabinet beneath the sink. As she reached for a washcloth, something caught her eye. It was a pregnancy test. Why is this in here? Buffy wondered but she shrugged it off, grabbed the washcloth, and washed her face.
When she came out, she noticed someone else in the room. He was tall, had dark hair, and almost black eyes.
"Who are you?" Buffy asked.
"Adam. I've been instructed to give you this," he said holding up medication.
"What is it?" Buffy snapped.
"Th-they didn't tell me."
"Who the hell lead the operation to capture me?"
"Someone by the name of Riley Finn. But that's all I can say."
The man set the medication on the bedside table and left.
"Spike, he's lying. Riley would never…"Buffy began but was cut off by Spike taking her in his arms.
"Buffy, don't worry. We'll find away out of this. I promise."
Spike pulled her close to him and she laid her head on his chest.
"Spike…"
"Yeah, luv?"
"I think they want me pregnant."
The doorbell rang and Xander rushed to answer it. After hearing about Buffy disappearing, he was ready to see even Spike as long as it meant he could find his best friend.
When he opened it, he found that it was Riley.
"Xander, is Buffy here?" he asked, trying to hide the worry in his voice.
"No, um, you better come in." Xander replied.
"What's going on?"
"Buffy's missing!" Dawn exclaimed tired of waiting for someone else to say something.
"She went patrolling the other night and never came home. Spike's missing too."
"Could she be with Spike? Wait, what am I asking, this is Spike!." Riley said.
"No, she's with him. And as long as she is, she'll be safe because I know he'd rather stake himself than let her get hurt." Xander said not caring at the moment if he was saying good things about Spike.
"What was it that you came for, Riley?" Giles asked.
"Well, I'm afraid I'm too late to warn her. But we can still find her. It is the Initiative. They want her pregnant. I have one of my best men, Adam; in there making sure, it doesn't happen. He'll look after them until we can get to them. Call Angel. We're going to need all the help we can get."
"Okay, I got Harmony putting me through." Willow said.
"Hello. This is An…"
"Angel, get to Sunnydale." Willow said.
"Willow, slow down, what's happened? Where's Buffy?" Angel asked.
"The Initiative has taken her. Riley is trying to help get her out but he said we need your help."
"I'm on my way."
Willow hung up the receiver and walked over to Dawn.
"Don't worry. She's with Spike. He'll keep her safe." Willow said hugging the young girl.
"Dammit! What is going on with those two?" a man yelled as he watched Buffy and Spike.
"I-I think she's too scared to do anything at the time." Adam said, defending the two without giving himself away.
"Well fix it! I want the Slayer pregnant and I want it immediately!"
"Y-yes sir. I'll see what I can do."
"Good. Now, give her this." The man held out a bottle of medication. Adam took it and put it in his pocket. He left the room and headed towards the one that held Buffy and Spike. He took out his phone and dialled Riley.
"Hello?"
"Agent Finn, I've been instructed to give her the medication." Adam said.
"Okay, looks like it's time for me to make my appearance."
"Right. And she already thinks it was you that lead the operation."
"Good. I'll see you tonight."
With that, Adam ended the call and walked into Buffy and Spike's room.
