Falling Under

Chapter 7

"Are you crazy?" Buffy yelled at the small strip of plastic in her hand.

"There is just no way!" Buffy yelled again. She looked at the box again.

"2 lines for postive and 1 line for negative."

She looked at the plastic stick and saw two pinkish red lines bright and very definable in the windows.

"Holy shit!!" she screamed looking at her reflection in the mirror and throwing the stick and box .

"Im freaking pregnant. PREGNANT!!"

*~*

Spike was sitting in his favorite chair trying to find something interesting on the tv when Buffy's voice screamed through his head.

"'Im freaking pregnant.'"

"Pregnant?" Spike wondered aloud.

*Pregnant,* Buffy's voice sounded back.

Spike stood and started to pace.

Pregnant. Shes pregnant. Is it mine? he thought.

*Of course its yours!!* he heard Buffy yell.

*Ok ok stop bloody screaming. You are killing my eardrums luv.*

*Yeah whatever. Your eardrums are already dead,* she returned.

*Buffy? Are you sure?*

*Well lets see Spike. I have been tired as hell for 3 weeks now. I have been craving the weirdest of foods and the last 4 pregnancy tests have all said yes. So yeah I think Im pretty sure.*

*And its very definitely yours. It wants blooming onions and buffalo wings.* she added.

*~*

Buffy was walking through the cemetary to Spike's Crypt. She had her hand unconsciously on her stomach rubbing in small circles.

I'm having a baby. Im having Spike's baby, she thought. A smile started to form on her face as she saw Spike's door open.

"Since when do you knock?" Spike smirked.

Buffy's smile broadened and she looked at her lifted hand.

"Trying to be polite?" she guessed.

"Right."

He grasped her hand and pulled her inside.   He sat on his favorite chair and pulled her on top of him.

"I don't know what is going on. All I know is somehow we are connected. I can hear what you are thinking, what you are feeling. And I know you feel the same to me."

"Yeah I have been but I thought I was just going crazy," She said resting her hand on his chest.

"But the pregnancy has bloody well thrown me. I'm a vampire I can't make babies. I'd say you were with someone else but I know thats not true."

She nodded and smiled when Spike put his hand on her stomach.

"I definitely think that scoobie research is needed."

"I'm not going there."

"Spike, they obviously know somethings up. Remember last night at the Bronze? They all saw us kissing," Buffy said kissing him on the forehead. Spike nodded and touched his forehead to hers.

"I just hate asking the bloody whlep to help," he sighed.

"It'll be fine," Buffy said as she kissed him.

*~*

Which is exactly what she was saying an hour later as they walked hand in hand to the Magic Box.

*Spike, calm down hunny*, Buffy's voice soothed in his head.

"Easy for you to bloody say," he grumbled stopping and looking ather."Did you just call me hunny?"

"Its going to be fine. Trust me. I won't let them do or say anything bad about you. How could I when I am carrying your child?" She said sweetly and smiled at him.

"Don't give me that look Slayer. Or I will take you here in the alleyway," he threatened.

"Is that a threat or a promise?"

"You wanna find out?"

She laughed and opened the door to the Magic Box.

"Hey guys," Buffy said when they all turned to look at her and Spike still holding hands.

"Um...hi Buffy. Spike," Willow said.

"Hi guys," Dawn said running over and hugging her sister.

"I knew it!" Dawn excitedly whispered in her sister's ear.

Spike looked at the two sisters with great interest.

*Knew what?*

Buffy looked at him.

Dawn had stepped back from Buffy and was watching her and Spike.

Both of them stood staring at each other and then slowly they started to smile and ended up laughing.

Dawn, Willow, Xander, Anya and Tara were dumbfounded.

"Ok what the hell was that?" Xander said.

"I told you they were having sex," Anya said to Xander and then turned to Buffy.

"Does he give you many orgasms?"

"Anya!" Xander said even as Buffy turned red and Spike smiled.

"I am so going to ignore that question," Buffy said to Xander and then when he wasn't looking mouthed YES to Anya.

"Hey Red, Glinda," Spike said sitting down on the counter next to the cash register.

*Don't you dare bang your feet against that glass*, Buffy's stern voice sounded through his head as Spike started to swing his legs.

"Wouldn't dream of it," he said out loud looking at her.

"Wouldn't dream of what?" Willow asked.

"Huh? What?" Buffy said returning her gaze to the witch.

"Spike said he wouldn't dream of it and I asked what he was talking about."

"Oh...I don't know. Spike's a little crazy tonight," Buffy replied as Spike snorted.

"So what's up Buffy? Patrolling slow tonight?" Dawn asked.

"No, I......" Buffy started as Spike 'ahemed'.

"I mean WE need you guys to research something."
