The ride to school that Monday was a quiet and somewhat uncomfortable one. A fact that didn't go unnoticed by Faith. When the trio met up with the others, Faith finally had it with all the tension. "What is going on!" Faith asked quite loudly.

"I think you should tell them pet. They are your friends."

Buffy nodded. Before she could say something Wesley gasped, "Spike got you pregnant!"

Everyone looked at Buffy in surprise. She sighed, "I'm not pregnant; me and Spike haven't really done anything of that nature. But, I do have a child. A little girl named Cerridwen Freya. She'll be four in March."

The group was silent. "Why didn't you tell us?" Willow asked with a hurt expression.

"I was afraid you guys would react like my old friends in L.A. When I lived in L.A I was the Cordelia Chase in school. But when I got pregnant, the cheerleading squad threw me off the team. My friends totally abandoned me. I didn't want to go through that again." Buffy replied, nearly in tears.

"Where's the father?" Oz asked.

Buffy swallowed, but it was Spike who answered, "He's in jail. Where he should be."

"I was raped when I was fourteen. Thus Ceri was conceived."

The group was silent. Faith stood up and got in Buffy's face, "Don't you ever, EVER, hide things from us again." She hugged Buffy, "How else can we all survive if not with each other?"

"Mommy! Make him stop Mommy!" Ceri managed to yell in between laughs. Buffy smiled at the site of Spike tickling Ceri.

"Spike, stop. I think she's had enough." Buffy smiled.

Spike stopped and picked her up, "You ready for bed princess?"

Ceri yawned, "No."

Buffy stood up, "Well too bad. It's past your bedtime."

"So, how's mommy?" Spike asked when Buffy came into the kitchen.

"Tired. I'm just glad it's Friday night." Buffy replied leaning on the island.

"Where's your mum?"

"I didn't tell you?" Spike shook his head. "Oh. She's in L.A till Monday. She's looking for new art to put in her gallery."
"Oh." Spike stood in front of her and place is arms on either side of her waist, trapping her between him and the island. He lifted her up onto the island.

"Spike…" Buffy whimpered as Spike's mouth made contact with her neck.

Spike stopped, "Buffy, if this is too much for you, I'll stop. I know it's going fast, but I can't help it. I can't help feeling like this every time I'm around you. I'm drowning in you Summers. And I don't want to stop."

"Oh Spike." Buffy sighed. She brought her legs around Spike's waist and pulled him towards her. "I've never felt this way before. I don't want you to stop."

"And I won't." Spike said, capturing her mouth in a kiss. He was enjoying the feel of Buffy's body when Buffy pushed him away. "What?"

"As much as I'd love to continue this," she started. Spike sighed, ready to leave and take a cold shower when she finished, "but my bed is so much more comfortable."

Spike smiled and picked her up, her legs still wrapped around his waist. She continued to kiss his neck while he walked up the stairs and to her bedroom. He closed the door with a kick and carried Buffy to her bed, gently laid her on the bed as he stared at her. "Are you sure?" he asked, afraid that she'd say no.

"Yes Spike. Show me what it means to be loved." Buffy said. Spike nodded and pulled out his wallet. He pulled out a square package. Buffy's eyes widened, "Do you always carry condoms in your wallet?"

Spike smirked, "Only when you came into my life." He blushed, "Um…contrary to popular belief, I'm still a virgin."

Buffy smiled, "Really?"

"Yeah. It's not that I didn't want to. I just wanted it to be with someone I cared about."

As corny as it sounded, Buffy was honored that he chose her. She grabbed him and pulled him down on top of her. "Let's see if we can do this right." She attacked his mouth with hers. Spike clumsily undid the buttons on her shirt. She helped him with the snaps on her bra. As more clothes managed to get discarded, the fondling began. Spike ran his hands all over her body while his mouth paid attention to her breasts. Buffy was feeling the best she ever had, but if Spike didn't stop, she'd be done before they'd even began. "Spike," she moaned. "Need you. In me. Now."

Spike nodded and applied the condom with minimal difficulty, mainly due to the fact that he was shaking all over. Buffy grabbed his hand and helped him place himself inside her. When they were finally joined, they rocked back and forth, slowly at first, but faster as they proceeded. Spike could feel her walls caving in against him and placed his mouth over hers just as they both moaned, reaching their climax together.

He pulled out of her, disposed of the used condom, and lay back next to her. He wrapped his arms around her, "Buffy, love, you were amazing."

Buffy snuggled into him, "You weren't so bad yourself."

"Everything's going to change now, isn't it?"

"Yeah. Are you okay with that?"

"As long as you're in my life, I think so." It wasn't long after that, that both of them were asleep.

That's it for chapter six. You wouldn't believe how hard it was for me to write the sex scene. Anyway, I'll start work on chapter 7 as soon as I can. My sis, a few friends, and I are going to go see the midnight showing of Pirates of the Carribean Wednesday night. Happy fourth guys.
