A few hours after her unproductive confrontation with Joyce Buffy got a phone call from the police.

"Buffy Summers?"

"Yes?" Buffy said softly.

"This is Detective Thomas of The Sunnydale Police. I regret to inform you that Alexander Harris has been killed, he listed you as his next of kin. Could you come and identify the body?"

"Could you get someone else, I'm pregnant." Buffy said, not really wanting to see another dead body. "I could send my husband."

"Of course." The detective said sympathetically.

Buffy hung up the phone. "Angel!" She called.

Angel got home an hour later.

"Vampire." He said quietly. "But he won't be coming back. He's dead dead."

Buffy began to cry. "Xander." She whispered softly, she looked up at Angel. "I don't love him, but he was my friend for so long. The father of my unborn child."

Angel nodded. "I know." He hugged her and then pulled away. "You should call Willow."

Buffy nodded and headed to the phone.

"Hello?"

"Spike, is Willow there?"

"No, she and Cordelia have gone out shopping." Spike told her.

"When she gets back can you tell her Xander's dead."

"She already knows." Spike said.

"What? I just got the call from the police..."

"I told her that I had some of the boys do it while we were in Vegas."

"What?!" Buffy asked in shock and anger.

"It's my wedding present to you. Kill the wanker and get him out of your hair. You know that if he lived he would have caused endless trouble between you and Angel."

"Still you shouldn't have killed him!" Buffy protested.

"Are you honestly upset?" Spike asked.

Buffy thought about it for a minute. "I'm a little sad because we were good friends, but not really. I'm really kind of glad."

"See?" Spike pointed out.

Buffy laughed. "I guess you're right. Thanks Spike, but next time just buy us something at Pier One."

Coming Soon: Willow and Spike talk about their relationship, Cordelia and Doyle have their first married fight, and Buffy feels her baby move for the first time
