Chapter 7
Staring at the blue plus line Buffy couldn't believe her eyes. It had been a month since they had come back from the Victorian era and life had returned to normal again. She had been feeling ill the last few days but thought it was residual stress from the time change. Buffy wouldn't have expected this in a million years. All she had to do now was find a way to tell Spike. "Here we go again," Buffy said walking out of the bathroom.

Since they'd gotten home Spike had noticed Buffy wasn't herself. She was acting very strange, eating odd food combinations and spending an awful amount of time in the bathroom. But what was really irking Spike was the lack of sex. Buffy was usually your average sex kitten, however, lately she wouldn't let him touch her. He was going to have to find a way to gently ask her about it, because her emotions were unpredictable.

Sitting at dinner that night Ziva and Devon could sense the tension between their parents. They couldn't figure out what the problem was. They were ecstatic about having a new sister so why weren't their parents? They would have to talk to them about making everyone happier again.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Buffy couldn't stand the pressure any more so she called Spike in the living room. "Spike, Honey, could you please come in here for a moment please?" Spike walked into the room feeling a little nervous. Taking a deep breath Buffy began. "Sit down Sweetie. Alright. I have something to tell you and I'm not exactly sure where to start."
Spike pulled Buffy into his lap. "Whatever it is you can tell me, Luv. I've been meaning to talk to you anyway. Just tell me it's nothing bad."
Buffy felt bad instantly. "Oh poor Spike. I didn't think of how worried you would be about my erratic behavior. I promise it's nothing bad." She heard him sigh in relief as she kissed him. He stared at her impatiently waiting for her to finish. "Let me put it this way we'll always have a little piece of paradise with us."
Spike sat there, not understanding what she meant. Than it clicked. "You mean..?" Buffy nodded smiling. "Seriously?" Buffy's smile got even wider as her picked her up and twirled her. Putting her back down he kissed her like he had six years ago.

Ziva and Devon poked their heads back around the corner smiling. Mummy had made it all better again. Running off the twins looked forward to their daily lessons with Aunty Willow and Granddad Giles. Devon and Ziva couldn't wait to see their faces when they found out about the new baby. Ziva decided to take her new camera with to capture the sure to be funny moment.
This is the end of part two. There will be one more installment to conclude the Ode to Destiny Trilogy. When? I'm not so sure with school starting up again, but I will try and write more fluff pieces till I get started. I wanted to thank everyone for the fabulous emails and for sticking with me. You're all wonderful. Till next time, Nichbuket
