Buffy and Spike were sitting in Giles' office and Giles was pacing back and forth. Then he finally stopped and looked at the two worried teenagers in front of him. He started to clean his glasses with a white cloth from his pocket then he sat down and just looked a Spike and Buffy.
"Dad what did Harmony tell you" Spike asked
"I think you know what she told me. How could you be so irresponsible" Giles said
"Oh come dad its Harmony she's a lying bitch. She just wanted to get me and Buffy into trouble. She told Buffy's parents same thing three night ago at dinner" Spike said
"Is that all this is? Buffy you're not actually pregnant. I'm not angry with you I'm just shocked that I wouldn't hear this from you two. Especially you William" Giles said
"No shes not" Spike answered for Buffy
"William I asked Buffy not you" Giles said
"Buffy? I need to know?" Giles asked
Buffy started to cry and then she nodded to Giles. Spike put rubbed his hand up and down Buffy's back and tried to calm her down. But so far nothing could stop her crying then all of a sudden she looked up at Giles.
"You cant tell my parents Giles. I don't want them to know about this" Buffy said
"Its not my place to tell them. But you are going to tell them aren't you? I mean they will find out" Giles said
"I don't know how Giles especially after the talk I had with my mother the other night. And the one Spike had with my father. Oh god I don't even want to think about what he would do when he finds out about this baby. He will kill you Spike I mean what did he saw when you talked to him?" Buffy asked
"Well he asked what would I do if you got pregnant at this age. I said I would figure out a way to provide for you and the baby then he said good answer." Spike said
"That's it? Wow maybe we could tell them. But not now after their vacation because they might be happier then" Buffy said
"Okay well break is next week so you know we will tell them after that" Spike said
"Well you two get out there and study with Xander and Willow alright.....Oh and congratulations the both of you" Spike said
Buffy and Spike got up and walked out the door into the library where Xander and Willow were reading a couple of books and then look up when they heard the door to Giles' office open Spike and Buffy went and sat by them.
"So you okay?" Willow asked Buffy
"Yeah I'm fine. We are fine. He's not going to tell my parents so that's good. But me and Spike are when they get back from vacation" Buffy said
"Oh well good it gives you two time to adjust to this whole baby news" Willow said
Spike just sat there looking off into the distance
"Hey Spike you alright there?" Xander asked
"Spike you're freaking me out stop it" Buffy said
"Huh? Sorry I was just.....uhhh...uh... thinking. I think I'm gonna go to class. I'll see you guys later" Spike said
Spike just got up and left the others sitting there wondering what had just happened. They went on with their day and at the end Buffy waited for Spike by his locker. When she saw him he looked confused and he went to his locker and put his stuff away and got the books he needed and then he turned to Buffy.
"So why the sudden change of mind to go to class?" Buffy asked
"Uhhh...no reason just felt like going to class that's all" Spike lied
"Oh so it has nothing to do with us then?" Buffy questioned
"Buffy I just I needed to think you know clear my head." Spike said
"So anything worth sharing?" Buffy asked
"I love you Buffy that's what I kept coming up with and I never want to leave you. But what if your parents make me? I mean you're still a minor and have to do as your parents say so I don't see how we can do this? If they want me to stay away from you they can have me kept away from you till you're eighteen and I will miss out on all of the things with this baby. I don't want that Buffy. I want to be with you and the baby the whole way through I don't want to be away from you" Spike said as they walked
"Spike I know I'm freaked too but I will talk to my parents alright I think they may understands I mean if my dad didn't kill you before I don't think he will now that its the real thing. I want to be with you too Spike. Oh and I told Willow and Xander we would give them a ride to my house" Buffy said
Spike just smiled and kissed Buffy once they were in front of his car. They waited for Xander and Willow and once they got there they got in the car and drove to Buffy's house. When they got there Hank was the only one home because Dawn and Joyce had went to the store together. Hank saw all the kids come in and he went over to the living room.
"Hey kids whats going on?" Hank asked
"Hi daddy. I hope its okay...but Xander and Willow wanted to study here because Xander doesn't like anybody else house." Buffy said
"Of course its okay. Your mom and Dawnie went to the store. Well good to see back here Spike" Hank said shaking Spikes hand
"Good to be back around me and Buffy worked things out today at lunch" Spike said
"Well I'll let you guys study. Spike try to teach my daughter something to help her pass her history class this year" Hank said as he left the room
Buffy, Spike, Xander, and Willow went and sat down in the living room and opened their books. Then after that they got about two hours of studying done then the rest of the time was spent snacking on food and talking.
"So Spike are you ever going to tell us how you got that nickname?" Xander asked
"No way. That's part of my mystery its forever a secret" Spike said
"Will you tell me?" Buffy pouted
"Maybe but when we're alone I will tell you" Spike said kissing her
"Oh come on Spike its us. Tell us please?" Will asked
"Alright its actually not that great of a story. When I first moved here I hung out with Cordelia, Harmony, Oz, and the rest of those guys. So we were hanging out at the old railroad site because that was the only place where parents wouldn't catch you....." Spike stopped himself Buffy was giving him a glaring at him
"Catch you doing what Spike? Well I don't even care as long as you're not doing it with anyone else but me now" Buffy said
"Of course luv. So we were all out there and then this idiot came up to Harmony and started to run his hands on her body I went over to him and I tried to stop him but then he pushed me away so I got a railroad spike and stabbed him. That's when they started calling me Spike" Spike said
"Oh My Gosh you stabbed a guy with a railroad spike!" Willow exclaimed
"Yeah dude that's way crazy I mean now I don't want to piss you off" Xander said
"Oh come on. You guys its not like he killed somebody.....He didn't die did he?" Buffy questioned
"No luv I didn't he's still alive. If he isn't thats not my fault." Spike said
Then Hank came into the room and he smiled at the group of laughing teens.
"Spike can I talk to you for a minute?" Hank asked
"Sure. I'll be back" Spike said kissing Buffy then getting up
He walked into the kitchen and the others were wondering what was going on with Hank and Spike.
"Spike the talk we had at dinner the other night. You know about Buffy being pregnant I need to know if any of the words that came out of your mouth were true" Hank said
"Of course they are true. I would never hurt Buffy and she knows that. What brings this up?" Spike asked
"Well this." Hank said holding up an empty pregnancy test box
"Oh god" Spike said
"Yeah I was helping Joyce out with the cleaning so I thought I would take out the trash and this was in the bathroom" Hank said
"I'm....I..uhhh....You're not going to kill me are you?" Spike asked
"What? No. Spike I know the way I acted when I found about you and Buffy sleeping together was bad and wrong. But that was before I saw how happy you made her and how much she cares about you. I know that you will be there for her Spike. But I think you should tell your father" Hank said
"Oh my father knows already. He found out today shortly after we found out" Spike said
"We? So I guess that means Xander and Willow know too?" Hank asked
"Yeah Buffy wanted them to know since they are her two closest friends. And Harmony told my dad and then we just decided to tell him" Spike said
"Why does Harmony hate you so much?" Hank asked
"Because I'm with Buffy and not her. We used to date and she's not really over it. But Buffy is a million times better than Harmony in every way" Spike said
"Well I will let you and Buffy tell Joyce I'm not quite sure how she will react but how about this Friday you two can let her know?" Hank asked
"Sounds good well I better get back to the living room before Buffy gets the nerve to barge in her" Spike laughed
"Yeah....Oh and Spike. Congratulations" Hank said
"Thanks" Spike smiled
Spike went back into the living room and then took his seat next to Buffy and grabbed his book and started to read over it as if nothing happend. He was going to tell them what went on but he just like to mess with them.
"Well?" Buffy asked
"Well what?" Spike asked in reply
"What did my dad want?" Buffy asked him
"He knows your pregnant and he was just wondering if the stuff I said about me taking care of you and this baby was true I said yes then he said we could tell your mother on Friday at dinner and then he congratulated me" Spike said
"So he knows and you're still alive" Buffy said
"Looks like it luv" Spike said
"Wow so we tell my mom and Dawn on Friday that's only two days. Oh god I'm not ready to face my mom what if she hates me?" Buffy said
"Come on love she wont hate you. She might be mad and hate me but she will always love you....Just like I will" Spike kissed Buffy passionately
Xander made some gagging sounds and laughed and Willow hit him in the arm.
"Gosh Xander you are so rude. Geez you're just jealous because you can't tell Anya you love her" Willow said
"I do love her its just that she is sort of planning our wedding and she's a little crazy" Xander laughed
"Well Xand you will have to tell her how you feel sometime." Buffy said
"Yeah you jerk she deserves to know that she is loved even though she is insane" Willow said
"Yeah well I have to meet her in a few hours maybe I will tell her then. Hey you guys want to come to the Bronze tonight?" Xander asked
Spike looked at Buffy who nodded.
"Sure mate sounds good to us" Spike said
"Me too I will see you there. Oz is playing tonight" Willow smiled
"Alright cool then now it can be a group thing. Oh and Spike just so you know your buddy Riley was checking out Buffy earlier" Xander laughed
"Yeah well Riley thinks he is a gift from the gods. He always gets the girl he wants but I plan on knocking his teeth in if he goes any where near my girl" Spike said
"Wow look at you all mr. protective. I like it" Buffy kissed Spike
"Well then I'm going to get going so I can take a shower and get ready" Xander said
"Yeah me too. Buffy can I use the phone to call my mom for a ride?" Willow asked
"Hey I can give you guys a ride if you want" Spike offered
"That would be great thanks Spike" Willow said
Willow and Xander went outside and they waited in Spikes car while he said bye to Buffy. He kissed her goodbye and then he went to his car and got in and started to drive off in the direction of Xanders' house.
