Red Roses and Chocolate
Chapter Seven
We'll Get You Out
A/n: Well everyone, this is the last chapter of this story. I hope you have all enjoyed reading it.
For disclaimer see chapter one.
Adam had left after giving Buffy the bottle of medication.
"Why would they want me pregnant? I mean, you couldn't even get me pregnant if you tried!" Buffy exclaimed waving her hands in the air. Before Spike could respond to her comment, the door opened.
"Buffy!" the person said.
"Riley?" Buffy said surprised.
"Buffy, how did you get here?"
"You should already know that seeing as you headed the operation!" Buffy spat out.
"What are you talking…Buffy, you're bleeding. Come here." Riley grabbed Buffy by the arm and pulled her into the bathroom closing the door behind them.
"Where am I bleeding?" Buffy asked him.
"Nowhere. I just had to get you where there were no cameras. Buffy, did Adam give you the medication?"
"Y-yes. It's right here. But…" Riley took it and looked at the label.
"Buffy…" he took one of the pills out and put it in her hand. "I need you to take this."
"Why should I trust you?"
"Buffy, it's birth control. I do not want this child conceived. It's part of a prophecy and it's meant to bring an apocalypse. Now, me, Angel, and the rest of the Scoobies along with Adam's help, are going to get you two out. But you have to do as Adam says. Okay?"
"O-okay. I can. What do…" She was interrupted by Spike coming in and closing the door.
"Sp-"
"I heard it, pet. Just checking on you. I'm going back out there to make sure they don't get suspicious." Spike kissed Buffy and went out to wait for her.
"Now, tonight when I come in to restock the fridge I need you guys to attack me. They should send Adam in. When he comes, struggle enough to make it believable, got it?" Riley asked.
"Yeah. So you're going to get Angel in by saying what?"
"That he's a hostile. They should believe it. Now, come here." Riley took his pocket knife and cut her arm.
"Ow! Why'd you do that?" Buffy yelled.
"Because, if they see the bandage and you're really cut, they won't think anything off all this."
"Oh, so it's to keep them from suspecting something?"
"Yes, now let me wrap that."
Buffy let him wrap it, walked back out, and sat on the bed, completely forgetting to take the birth control. She curled up next to Spike and whispered the plan in his ear.
Agreeing that they would each take turns sleeping, Buffy lied down and fell asleep.
"I told you to give her the medication!" a man yelled.
"I did sir. It will take time to set in. By tonight, everything should be on schedule."
"Good. Agent Finn!"
"Yes, sir."
"It's good to have you with us Finn. Now, what happened to that lovely wife I remember you having?"
"She's at home having a small get together. Didn't know when she'd see everyone again and she didn't want to take the chance."
"It's a shame she couldn't be here. Tell her hello for me."
"I will sir."
"Now, tonight the Slayer and vampire's food supply needs to be stocked. Can I trust you to do so?"
"Yes sir."
"If they give you any trouble I'll send Adam."
"I doubt they'll give me any trouble sir."
"I should hope so."
Ring, ring. Angel ran into the living room as soon as he heard the phone ring.
"Hello?" he answered.
"It's Riley. Time to start."
"I'm on my way out now."
He turned off the phone and headed for the cemetery.
After what seemed like a reasonable fight, Angel let Riley knock him "unconscious". Riley dragged Angel to the Initiative head quarters and was stopped by a guard.
"Where are you taking him?" the man asked.
"Testing room. Got a vampire here." Riley replied. The guard allowed Riley through and he took Angel into the room Adam was to take Buffy and Spike. As soon as he had told Angel the rest of the plan, he headed to stock the food and drinks in the fridge.
"Spike, he's finished. Time to get out of here." Buffy whispered. Together, Buffy and Spike staged the attack on Riley. And just as he had said, Adam was sent in. He grabbed Buffy by the arms and as planned, Buffy struggled just enough to make it believable. Adam took her, as Riley dragged an "unconscious" Spike to the room where Angel waited.
Walking by the monitor room, Buffy saw the person behind it all.
"Quentin Trevors! I should have known!" Buffy yelled as she was pushed lightly forward.
The second they were in the room and the door was shut, Buffy was hugging Angel and Riley.
"I have no idea what I would have done if you guys hadn't shown up!" Buffy said.
"Actually, I wouldn't be here if Riley hadn't had Willow call." Angel said.
"I don't care. Just get us out of here." Buffy said.
"I don't think that will be happening Miss Summers." Quentin said.
"You! You have been trying to get rid of me for years. You think you can get away with this?" Buffy yelled.
"Oh, I already have." he laughed, calling in four men to deal with the others while he fought Buffy. Quentin ran at Buffy who hit him, sending him to the wall. But he was quickly on his feet again. Behind her, Spike had already taken out one guy, as had Angel, who was now showing traits of Angelus. Angel went to help Adam while Spike went to help Buffy. Quentin had her pinned to the floor and was on top of her ready to hit her. But Spike's reflexes were faster and he had Quentin pinned to the wall while he switched to game face.
"Spike! Go help Buffy! I'll take care of him!" Angel said switching to games face.
Angel grabbed Quentin by the throat and raised him off the ground. At this point, Angel was practically Angelus.
"You know how long it's been since I've tasted human blood? Too bloody long!" Angelus growled as he bit Quentin, draining him. He switched back to his human face and walked over to a crying Buffy. She had never seen him kill a human before. Not even when he had killed Jenny Calendar.
"Buffy, are you okay?" he whispered, kneeling beside her.
"I-I'm fine. Can you just take me home now?" she asked, tears falling from her eyes as she hugged Angel.
"Yes, we'll take you and Spike home." Angel looked at Spike about to ask him if he could carry her but he did not have to. Spike gave him a silent nod of approval and Angel gathered Buffy in his arms and he, Spike, and Riley went to the Summers home and as soon as they walked in with Buffy, who looked half-ready to go to sleep, Xander ran over and hugged her. He then proceeded to hug Riley, Angel, and even Spike.
"I don't know what would have happened to her if you hadn't have been with her. Thank God you were, Spike. Knowing she was with you made me a little less scared, to tell you the truth. Hell, I think that knowledge made us all feel a little better." Xander admitted.
"Glad to know you trusted me for once to keep her safe, Xander." Spike replied, actually hugging Xander.
"You're one lucky guy, Spike. To tell you the truth, the only reason I ever hated you was that ever since Willow's spell, heck, maybe even before that, Buffy was always in love with you. It was all jealousy. You had all of her love and I knew I could never have it."
Xander's speech left everyone shocked. Especially Spike. Only a few seconds later, Spike was whispering something in Buffy's ear. She smiled and walked over to Xander. She cupped his face in her hands and gave him a short, sweet kiss on the lips.
"Thank you Xander." She stepped back and hugged everyone.
"You guys are the best friends a girl could ask for."
Angel was still standing in the doorway not even speaking when she turned to him.
"Angel, if it hadn't been for you and Spike, that idiot Quentin could have killed me. But thanks to you and Riley, Spike and I are out of there and safe. Thank you so much Angel."
Buffy stood close to him. He could tell she was going to let him kiss her but hesitated.
"God, Angel, can she make it anymore obvious that she wants you to kiss her?" Spike said. However, Angel still stood there.
"I know what she wants. But she loves you. She has since the night you came here. I could tell by the way she acted, how she couldn't seem to kill you. Even if she didn't know it yet, she was in love with you. So no, I'm not going to kiss her."
"Dammit, you stubborn vampire!" Buffy said, slapping Angel, hoping to knock some sense in him.
Buffy leaned forward and gave him a sweet, loving kiss. Then, she went and gave Riley a kiss also. When she came to Spike, she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Now my big bad, you get the first part of your reward."
Buffy let Spike pull her close to him and he leaned down to kiss her but instead, she placed a gentle, passionate kiss on his lips. As they pulled apart, they saw all the Scoobies smiling.
"So what's with the smiles?" Buffy asked.
"We wondered when you would reveal that secret admirer you had at Valentines Day. And now you have." Xander said laughing and pulling Buffy into a hug.
"Okay, the two love birds have been through a lot these past three days. Let's leave them alone and let them get some sleep." Angel said.
All of the Scoobies said goodnight and that they would come by the following day to see how she was. Angel and Riley also said they would see her tomorrow and left. That left Dawn, Buffy, and Spike at the house for the night.
Dawn gave Buffy and Spike a big hug and said,
"You guys scared me. I thought I'd lost both of you."
"Now you know better than that Nibblet. I made a promise to a lady that I'd never leave her. And I don't break promises." Spike told Dawn. Smiling, Dawn said,
"Off to bed you two."
And that's just what they did. But Buffy and Spike didn't go to sleep. They made love. Buffy and Spike were so preoccupied that they didn't notice when Spike's heart began to beat and a child was conceived, because meanwhile, Willow, in her apartment, had performed a spell, causing Spike to become human. As the night went on, Spike and Buffy fell asleep in each other's arms.
