(A/N Okay, I know, it took FOREVER for me to update, but I was busy with Graduating, and then college. Then when I got back to this, I forgot what I was planning to do next! I know this is a short chapter, but I remember what I was gonna do! Only two chapter left after this, hopefully!)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything Buffy. If you believe I do, I have a bridge in Taiwan that I want to sell you…. I do own Magdalene Defoe, the character, not the name, which is from Repo! the Genetic Opera.


Unforeseen Circumstances

Part 1 of the Unforeseen Trilogy


Chapter Five

Confrontation


Mag stood with the rest of the Scooby Gang by the library as they munched on their lunches. She noticed that the others were acting weird around her for an unknown reason. As they passed the library door, she felt her food and bag ripped from her hands by Xander and Willow, and felt Buffy push her into the library, barring the door shut after her. She was afraid of the reason they locked her in there as she looked at the door in horror. Finally she turned around and found herself face-to-face with the father of her unborn child. She swallowed, suddenly fearful. This was the first time in months that she was alone in a room with him. He was also uncomfortable, she noticed. She took a breath and looked around the library. Giles sighed.

"They locked you in, didn't they?" Mag exhaled, unable to look at him as she nodded. He gave her a grim smile.

"I guess it's been a while." He didn't know how to breach the subject he wanted to talk about.

"I guess." She muttered under her breath. "Not my fault." Giles heard it nonetheless. He had his heart in his throat.

"You're…pregnant." It wasn't a question. Mag froze, her eyes unseeing as she felt terror paralyze her. How did he know? She didn't tell Buffy who was the father, how could she tell him? She couldn't look him in the eye.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She replied in an emotionless voice and he knew it was the truth. He took a breath.

"Mag, Magdalene, please, don't lie to me, just tell me the truth. Are you pregnant with my child?" She looked like a deer in headlights when he caught her eye.

"No! Leave me alone!" She went back to the main door of the library and found it barred shut still. She went to walk past Giles but he caught her arm in his hand and made her face him.

"Magdalene, I need you to tell me. I need to know." Mag pulled her arm out of his reach.

"Buffy told you, didn't she?" She spat. Giles shook his head.

"She didn't. She told me that she was worried about you, getting sick a lot recently. I connected the dots." She sobbed, shaking her head. She ran out of the back door before he could follow her. He clenched his teeth as his eyes shut tight, shaking his head.

"I'm going to take responsibility. She's not going to shut me out. I'm going to take responsibility for the few minutes of passion that I can't even remember." He vowed, unknowing of his consequences. Outside the library doors, Willow and Xander stared at each other with open mouths and blank stares at Buffy, who was the only one not shocked by the encounter inside. She looked determined. She stood, to their surprise, and opened the door and went up to Giles, who stood ramrod stiff, his hands clenched at his sides. He turned to her.

"Where does she live?" Buffy gave him a grim smile and motioned with her head.

"I'll show you. Come on, now before her mother finds out. If she does, you best hope she doesn't take your balls for a wall trophy." She ignored him as he, Willow and Xander flinched.

Mag wiped her eyes as she crossed the cemetery. She went into the mausoleum and sat next to the tomb. She knew that they wouldn't expect her to go there for a few hours at the least, so she had time.

Giles coughed and straightened his tie as he looked at the Defoe main door. He knocked and then realized he didn't know what to tell her mother. He hadn't even entertained the notion of getting any female pregnant, especially an underage one. He pulled out an excuse as Mrs. Defoe opened the door. She seemed to have a double-take, not knowing who it was at her door.

"Can I help you?" Giles stood straight and offered his hand to the woman.

"My name is Rupert Giles. I am the librarian at Sunnydale High. Is Magdalene Defoe home right now? She has some overdue books from over a month ago that we need back." Mrs. Defoe visibly relaxed.

"She hasn't come home from school yet. I'll tell her to return the books though." Giles nodded, and turned towards the Citroen as he tried to mentally find Mag. Buffy sat in the passenger seat and practically jumped him when he sat in the drivers seat.

"So? Was she there?" Giles shook his head in response. She bit her lip.

"We could, of course, try my house, because you never know if she went there to see me, or the Bronze, or even the Expresso Pump? I don't know about you, but I don't know much other places than that." She looked him square in the eye. He sighed and put his head in his hand.

"We will go to your house first, then the Bronze." Buffy nodded as he started the engine and reversed out of the driveway.

Mag shivered as she wrapped her shawl around her shoulders. She lay near a gravestone, looking up at the sky as she wondered what she would do. After all, she had to wait to go home because she knew she would have to talk to her mother but she couldn't figure out what to say.

She heard a noise above her and sat up quick only to be dragged up by her arms. She tried to fight off the vampire that she recognized, but he was too strong as he knocked her out and dragged her towards the closest mausoleum.
