Buffy looked in the mirror and groaned. She wore a long, black dress that ended above her ankles, patterned with sequels and sparkles. A large spider was centered in the middle of the dress, higlighted by silver glitter. She wore a pair of black stilettos, causing her to look taller than usual. A witches hat placed upon her head, whilst her hair curled beneath it.
"Stupid Halloween," mumbled Buffy.
Cordelia and Faith had taken Phoebe, promising Buffy to dress her up and get her ready for when she took her trick a treating. Buffy wondered what they were going to dress her up as, she wished that she could of done it herself. Buffy gazed herself up and down oncemore, rolling her eyes, before the door opened and Angel stepped inside. Buffy bit her lip, trying her hardest not to laugh.
"A wizard, hey ?" she said, grinning.
"Very funny. It was the only costume left," groaned Angel, taking Buffy's place in the mirror.
Angel looked at himself, wondering why he had agreed to this. He wore a long cloak, which was dark blue with silver stars dotted over it. Underneath he wore a black shirt and jeans, although the cloak covered them. He suddenly felt something light balance upon his head and groaned oncemore; Buffy had found the hat which matched the cloak. Angel had hid it under the bed, hoping that no one would find it.
"You would make Dumbledore proud," chuckled Buffy, massaging Angels shoulders.
Buffy noticed his blank look in the mirror, she began to smile even more. Suddenly, the door opened and Cordelia and Faith walked inside. Phoebe was balanced upon Cordelia's waist, dressed up in a little pumpkin outfit. Cordelia wore a tight leather suit, cat ears, and a long black tail, which made it obvious that she was a cat. Faith, however, only wore jeans and a top, she obviously wasn't dressing up. Buffy grinned as she took Phoebe from Cordelia, pressing a kiss on her daughters forehead. Phoebe even had little pigtails in her hair, causing her appearance to look even cuter.
"Thanks guys," said Angel, grinning.
"Don't thank Cordelia, she wanted to dress her up as a slutty dominatix," grinned Faith.
"Yeah, well, Faith wanted to dress her up as vampire!" scoffed Cordelia.
"Guys! She's not even one yet!" laughed Buffy, shaking her head.
"I know! And she's already expecting a brother or sister!" said Cordelia, sounding rather excited.
Buffy's smile dropped and she looked at Angel, who shrugged. Cordelia's jaw dropped and her hand covered her mouth, looking awkward. Suddenly, Cordelia's cat ear flew off her head and landed on the opposite side of the room. Everyone turned and looked, a confused look streched across their faces.
"Ok, what the hell!" said Faith, rasing her eyebrow.
"How did you know I was pregnant ?" questioned Buffy, looking at both of them.
"You left your test in the bin," answered Cordelia, walking towards her ears.
"Great," mumbled Buffy. "Who else knows ?"
"Everyone," chuckled Faith, rolling her eyes.
----
"Hey, Buffster, congrats on the pregnancy!" grinned Xander, pulling Buffy into a hug.
"Thanks," smiled Buffy.
Buffy pulled away and looked at Xander's costume. He wore a white shirt, with a red bow tie, which tooked into his black pants. He wore a long black cape, with stripes of red slashed down the back. Xander's face was covered in white face paint, a trickle of fake blood smeared around his lips. Buffy noticed when Xander talked that he had fangs on. Buffy turned to Angel, who was watching Giles with Phoebe, and wondered what his reaction would be. Buffy turned to Anya who was dressed a Wonder woman. Her outfit was made out of leather and skin tight, although Anya had the right figure for the costume.
"So, who is coming with me, Angel and Phoebe ?" asked Buffy, looking around.
"Me, Anya and Cordy," answered Xander.
"Yes because I find that the candy makes me sexually active," smiled Anya, nodding her head.
"Okk then, so Faith and Giles are you staying here ?" asked Buffy.
"Yep. Come on B, do you see me getting dressed up and parading round for candy ?" scoffed Faith, jumping down on the couch and grabbing the remote.
"Your loss," grinned Cordelia.
"We better set off if we want to get to the good houses," laughed Xander, rubbing his hands together.
Buffy nodded. Xander and Anya walked out, Cordelia followed with Phoebe in her arms and Angel waited for Buffy. Buffy turned and looked at Giles, she remembered she needed to talk to him about something.
"You go, honey, I'll catch up," said Buffy, kissing Angel on the cheek.
Angel nodded and ran out, catching up with the others. Buffy turned to Giles, who smiled at her.
"Congratulations, Buffy," said Giles.
"Thanks," replied Buffy. "But theres something that I need you to research on."
"Erm, well, I guess I could return home to get my books. What would I be researching ?" asked Giles, taking off his glasses.
"Well, its kinda weird. Since I found out I was pregnant, some weird stuff has happened," said Buffy, noticing that Faith was listening.
"For example ?" said Giles.
"Well, when I told Angel, my top lifted up by itself to show off my stomach, then before -"
"Cordelia's ears flew off her head and over across the room," interrupted Faith, looking at Buffy with an understanding look.
"You think it may be your baby ?" questioned Giles, placing his glasses on the tip of his nose.
"Yeah, could you research for me ?" smiled Buffy.
"Course, now you go and have a good time," replied Giles, smiling.
---
"Wow! Well, ain't you just the most beautiful pumpkin I have ever met ?"
Buffy grinned as she held Phoebe. Phoebe giggled and looked away, which caused the old woman to laugh more. The old woman dropped a few candy bars in Phoebe's bucket, before dropping some into an eager Xanders. The woman waved them goodbye, a huge smile across her face. Xander began to brag about all his sweets, he had been acting like such a big kid whilst they walked around. Anya had almost as much as him, although Phoebe had the most. Cordelia had come just to show off her costume to the men who answered the door, refusing when she was offered candy. And Angel came to see his daughter have fun, also he believed that it was his responsilbility as a parent.
"Well, shall we hit one more house ?" asked Buffy, noticing Phoebe yawn.
"One ?" moaned Xander.
"Xander, you have enough candy to last until next year!" gasped Cordelia, laughing.
"Yeah, and little one is getting tired," added Angel.
"Fine," groaned Xander, smiling all the same.
The five adults and baby walked to the next house, all of them now searching through their bags of candy. Buffy thought about next halloween, she would be bringing two children instead of one. Her mind suddenly wandered to Giles, she wondered if he had found out anything in his research. Whatever it was, she hoped it was nothing demonic.
"Well, atleast we managed to get through a halloween without any supernatural happening," laughed Xander, walking up the garden path.
"I know! Thank god, I wouldn't my daughter actually becoming a pumpkin," replied Buffy, stroking Phoebe's hair.
"Maybe next halloween," grinned Angel.

Angel closed the door behind them and shuffled inside the house, throwing himself down besides Faith on the sofa. Xander and Anya had left to go home, deciding there was hardly any room for them to stay at Buffy's, and Xander wanted to believe alone with his candy. Buffy had gone upstairs, changing Phoebe in her pyjamas then putting her down for bed, Phoebe had a very busy and needed her rest. Dawn was now downstairs, curled up in the corner of the sofa with a bucket of candy. Faith was watching the tv, obviously watching a horror film to mark the tradition. Whilst Giles sat surrounded by books, searching through their old pages.
"What you looking for, Giles ?" asked Angel.
"Buffy asked to search about this baby she is carrying," replied Giles, not looking up from his books.
"Why ? Is it demonic ?" frowned Angel, his worst fear eating him up.
"No," answered Giles.
He stood up, placing the ends of his glasses in his mouth, and read a page. Buffy came into the sitting room with her pyjamas on, a blue dressing gown wrapped around her small frame, and her hair tied up in a rough bun.
"Dawn! They were for the trick or treaters," said Buffy.
"They were," replied Dawn, continuing to eat.
Faith grinned and high-fived Dawn, who still continued munching on the candy. Buffy rolled her eyes and plopped herself down on Angel's knee, reaching across to grab a lolly pop.
"Giles, you found anything ?" asked Buffy.
"Yes. A prophecy," answered Giles, placing his glasses back on the brink of his nose.
Sorry it was so crappy! I let them have a normal halloween because I couldn't think of no ideas. There was a long chunky piece for you so I hoped you enjoy! Guess about the prophecy if you like, I love readings people's thoughts. And thank you so much for all the amazing reviews!
