"Um.. hi" said Anya as she pulled away from Xander, a small smile on her face. "Faith brought me back with her Slayerversary wish and.." This time, Anya was the one who was cut off as Xander grinning, kissed her again. Yes, he knew that this may not have been the smartest thing he had ever done, as they had not been together when Anya died, and this situation should therefor have called for careful consideration and discussion. But in that moment, Xander didn't really care. And in his defence, she had kissed him first.

"So, anybody hungry? Yes? Well there's plenty of snacks in the kitchen" said Buffy. Taking the slayer's hint, the others began to clear the room to give the reunited pair some space. With great effort, Anya managed to tear her lips away from Xander's.

"There are some things that we need to talk about."

"I know" said Xander, reaching out to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear. "But can't it wait, just for a little while?"

"It really can't" Anya replied, taking a step away from him. "Uh, you should probably sit down."

"Okay" said Xander, frowning as he followed her over to the couch. "You're freaking me out a little Ahn. Is anything wrong? Are you sick or something?"

"No. Well, maybe a little this morning, but I hear that's to be expected when-" The ex-demon caught herself just in time, but knew she had to tell Xander properly soon, before she blurted out the news at another inappropriate point in the conversation. "So, you know that one time back in Sunnydale after Spike ran off to find Buffy after we kicked her out, and everyone was having really loud sex upstairs, and then we had sex on the kitchen floor?"

"Yeah.." said Xander, not getting where Anya was going with this.

"Well, uh, I got pregnant. And when Faith wished me back, the baby came back too."

"Y-you're having a baby?" Xander stuttered.

"Yes" said Anya.

"My baby?" asked Xander.

"Yup. Oh, you're freaking out aren't you? I knew this would happen. But I couldn't not tell you, because you deserve to know, and it will be pretty hard to hide it once my stomach blows up like a balloon, and I'm freaking out too because I have no idea how to look after a tiny human by myself.." The ex-demon was almost on the verge of tears, and Xander frowned.

"You won't be by yourself Ahn" he said, pulling her into his arms. Anya looked up at him, sniffling.

"I won't?"

"Of course not. I'm not gonna lie to you, this was kind of a shock. But, abandoning you on our wedding day is the stupidest thing I've ever done, and when you died I thought I'd never get the chance to make it up to you. You don't have to do this on your own, whatever happens, we'll face it together, you, me, and little Xander Junior" he grinned. Anya glared at him.

"We are not naming our child Xander Junior."

"Oh come on, he likes it" said Xander, talking to Anya's stomach. "You like that name don't you Junior?"

"Well what if it's a girl?"

"Um.. Alexandra?"

"That's it, I am officially in charge of naming our tiny human."

Buffy peeked into the room, smiling at the couple bickering over baby names.

"Looks like everything's back to normal."
