A half hour later, Spike located Mana, who growled dangerously as he entered the bathroom where she sat in the tub, water steaming around her, her pregnant bulge surfacing as she breathed, "Go. Away!"

"Not happin' love," he reached in with a poof rubbing her tummy softly.

The teen suddenly lashed out at him, the upheaval of water soaking him as she did so, "You did a fine job of protecting her child!" The teen spat, "Leave me alone."

The blond frowned heavily, "What are you on about now? I was getting you out of Eris' reach, or did you fail to see the Kitten go utterly ballistic?"

"What I saw was you protect your precious little Buffy's and apparently your precious little girl!" She pushed herself out of the tub awkwardly and shoved him away as she slipped into her bathrobe, the water was slightly cloudy with a very faint red hue.

Instantly he growled, grabbing her by the arm before she could escape pushing the robe off to look for wounds, "You saw me snatch you out of Eris' reach! Why the fucking hell would I give a fuck about Buffy's bastard child?"

There wasn't a scratch on her as she pushed at him weakly, "Get offa me!" she growled. "She looks like you Spike!"

"So does Serenity, gonna pawn her off on me to?" he asked pulling her close sniffing her, searching for the source of the blood.

"Get off!" Mana hissed, trying to hide the trickle of blood on her inner thigh, "Serenity doesn't smell like you!"

Spike's eyes went wide as he scooped her up putting her into the bed moving to make sure she was ok despite her protests. All he got was a snarl and plenty of thrashings, "You can't stop me from leaving!" she sobbed.

"The hell I can't," he snapped calling for medical. "Now calm the hell down before something bad happens!"

"You aren't my keeper!" her lip quivered and despite her best efforts she found herself with her face buried against his chest.

Softly he rubbed her spine, holding her close, "No, but I'm your lover and your my world and I'll be damned if a dead whore is going to fuck up the best thing in my life in over a hundred years."

A few minutes later a tapping came from the door, Fred entering without waiting for an answer, "Morning', I heard it's been a rough night." She moved towards the bed and after prying the distraught woman from him she made quick work of her check up. "The babies are fine. You just need to listen to me and stick to your bed for awhile and for gosh sakes eat more will ya?"

"You mean baby," Spike corrected the brunette.

"Hmm?" she looked up from packing away her stuff, "Nope, babies. Two to be exact," Fred smiled, "Congrats you guys."

The next thing anyone in the room knew, Spike had cracked his head on the floor as he fell off the bed.

"Err, surprise?" Winifred glanced at the equally surprised woman in the bed before awkwardly dragging Spike up beside her, waving a vial of ammonia under his nose, "Wakey wakey daddy to be."

The blond groaned, "Sex?"

"It makes sense really. That's why you're having a rough time, double the hormones, double the stress on your system and what not," she said over her shoulder as she tended the fallen vampire before sighing, "No sex at least until the bleeding stops but it's not bad so she should be fine soon."

Spike nodded then whined, "Oww my bloody head."

"We're having twins and all you can ask about is sex? And you talk about Selene's priorities," Mana laughed as she reached up and lightly stroked his cheek before falling to her side and resting her head on his chest.

Spike couldn't help joining in her laugher, petting her hair and wincing some, "Well when I have a gorgous girl falling in my lap like that what do you expect?"

"You'll be fine but take it easy for a couple days, maybe stay to bed too just to make sure? You can keep her company, make sure she eats too." Fred said as Spike nodded in agreement. Once she was sure they were ok, Fred smiled down at them and took her leave.

"Twins. We're gonna have three babies," Mana seemed a little dazed at the idea.

"Sure you can handle it love?" he brushed his lips against her temple.

"Oh you'll be helping mister. If you can create it you can take care of it," she smirked smugly.

"Oh I plan to," he smirked back.

"Good," she rolled over and climbed into his lap to straddle him carefully and putting her arms around his neck, "I really do love you."
