Four hours later Spike and Buffy were sitting outside for a while and then they walked to Buffy's house. Spike could see that Buffy was nervous about just even going into the house. She still had to change and get her self ready for dinner. They went in quietly and everybody was in the living room they moved quitely up the stairs and into Buffy's room she shut the door behind them. She went straight to her closet and Spike went and stretched himself out on her bed and closed his eyes.

Buffy couldn't find what she was looking for she was just going to wear jeans and the nice blue top her grandmother got for her. When she finally found it she quickly changed and then she fixed her hair so it was up in a ponytail. She was now ready and looked over at Spike who was lying on her bed she went over to him and kicked him in his leg a few times until he got up and looked at her and smiled.

"You look beautiful" Spike pulled Buffy into his lap

"You're just saying that" Buffy smiled

"No I'm not. Your so beautiful Buffy Summers and I love you" Spike kissed Buffy passionately

...........................Down stairs in the living room.............................

Hank and Joyce were sitting and talking with Joyce's parents Marshall and Elenor. Dawn was sitting off to the side texting her friends about how bored she was and how badly she wanted out of there.

"So when will Buffy be home? Its been so long since we have seen her" Elenor asked

"Oh she should be home soon she was just at her boyfriends house for a while" Hank answered

"Oh so she has a boyfriend is it still that Angel fellow? He was so nice" Elenor asked

"No way she's with Spike now and he's way better than Angel" Dawn said

"Dawn. Since you're already texting why not ask your sister when she's coming home" Hank said

"So Buffy isn't dating Angel anymore then?" Marshall asked

"No she's not. She is dating a young man named William but for some reason his nickname is Spike." Joyce said

"He's a good kid. Honestly I think he's great he may be a little different then you might expect but he is nice" Hank said

"What do you mean?" Elenor asked

"Oh well the way he dresses he likes black its not all he wears but most of the time it is and his hair is bleach blonde" Joyce said

"Well I guess if Buffy is happy. She is happy right?" Marshall asked

"Yeah of course she's very happy..Dawn any chance that recent message is from your sister?" Hank asked

"Yeah she says 'I'm up stairs don't tell mom and dad....Oh I don't think I should keep reading" Dawn shut her phone

"She's here?" Joyce asked

"Apparently" Dawn said

"Well I think I should go get her" Hank got up from his seat

Hank went up to Buffy's room and didn't bother knocking he just went in. When he did he found Spike comforting Buffy on the floor he had his arms protectively wrapped around her and he was placing kisses on the top of her head. Hank went and shut the door behind him and he sat on the corner of Buffy's bed. Buffy was wiping the tears from her eyes and then she looked up at Hank.

"Dad I can't tell mom. Not tonight I know you wanted us to but I just....I can't" Buffy sniffled

"Honey its okay I get it. But Buffy you need to be strong about this. Alright Spike is here with you and so am I. Now not that I'm supporting teen pregnancies but with you two its a bit different. I can see the love you have for each other and I know you two care deeply for each other. Now I think its best if you tell your mother tonight but its your choice to tell her if you want to" Hank said

"Mr. Summers can I talk to you in the hallway for a second?" Spike asked

Hank nodded and then Spike kissed the top of Buffy's head and then got up. Him and Hank walked out into the hallway and they shut the door behind them. Spike wanted to show Hank that he was serious about Buffy so he was going to show him the ring he got her.

"So Spike what's up?" Hank asked

"I wanted to show you something" Spike pulled out the black velvet box

"Oh Spike you shouldn't have" Hank mocked, Spike laughed

"Wow its beautiful. So I guess you plan on giving this to Buffy" Hank asked

"Yeah. I mean its just a promise ring no big deal I guess" Spike said

"It is a big deal. I think I was wrong about you Spike. You love my daughter and you're doing her right by making a promise to be with her and love her and to take care of this baby no matter what" Hank handed the ring back to Spike

"Yeah well I really do love your daughter. I just don't get it" Spike was puzzled

"What's that?" Hank asked

"Why is she so afraid of her grandparents?" Spike asked

"Well Spike. her cousin Amy had a baby last year and Buffy saw how her grandparents reacted to the news. So this even though you love her and you have proven yourself of that her grandparents are very much against sex before marriage" Hank put a hand on Spikes shoulder. "But you should know that even though I could have killed you that day I'm glad I didn't because you're a great young man William and you make my daughter happy and that's all that matters to me" Hank said

"Thanks that means a lot to hear. I guess I would be pretty freaked out to. I don't think I we should tell them if Buffy feels this strongly about it." Spike said

"Like I said this is your choice. You two are adults now I mean you are having a baby. Just promise me you will keep them safe" Hank said

"I promise I will always protect them" Spike said

"Well we better get back down stairs" Hank started to head towards the stairs then turned around. "Oh and Spike you might want to zip up your pants that wont help if they catch that down stairs" Hank said

Spike zipped up his pants and went into Buffy's room as Hank laughed. Buffy was just standing there waiting for Spike to come back. She had dried her tears and calmed down a bit. When she saw Spike walk in she threw her arms around him in a tight hug.

"I love you" Buffy said

"I love you too. Buffy. Now lets get this bloody dinner over with luv" Spike smiled
