Surprise- Chapter 4

"I'm sorry I don't want my pizza anymore" Buffy said and slammed the door. Spike appeared from the kitchen in a apron that said 'I cook therefore I am'

"Luv what is going on? Where is the pizza?"

'I don't want the pizza' Buffy thought and walked into the living room and sat down. Spike reached for the door and opened it to see a waiting Riley in front of it.

'Oh' Spike thought.

"Hello farm boy" Spike said. "For what do we not owe the pleasure?"

"What are you doing here?" Riley asked trying to step into the house but was stopped by Spike who moved in front of him.

"He lives here" Buffy said coming out of the living room.

"What the fuck?" Riley asked trying to move Spike out of the way.

"What the bleedin' hell are you doing here?" Spike asked giving up and moving out of the way.

'Spike play nice' Buffy thought to her fiancé.

'Don't worry luv' he answered.

"I am here to see Buffy, and find out what the hell is going on!" Riley answered stepping up to Buffy.

"Riley my life is non of your concern so just leave" Buffy said waving her hand and turning around. As Buffy moved her hand Riley got a quick glance at the ring on her finger.

"Why is there a ring on your marriage finger?" Riley asked confused and shocked.

"That would be because she is getting married white bread" Spike answered. Just as Riley was about to say something the door bell rang again and Spike went to answer it.

"Hi, here are your pizza's sir. That will be $40.63" the teenager said. Spike reached into his pocket and pulled out a fifty.

"There ya go, keep the change" Spike said taking the pizza.

"Enjoy and have a nice night sir" the boy said and turned.

"Oh I hope I will" he said and closed the door, then setting the pizza down on the dining room table.

"Riley, I don't know what the hell your doing here, nor do I really care, but if you *must* know, a lot has happened since you left. I died, Dawn almost did to, Willow and Xander brought me back, A song inducing demon was called and we all broke into a musical extravaganza, Spike and I made love, I was brought before the power's and told it was ok. I saw my mother, and she told me that there was money in a bank account in L.A with my name on it. Spike and I were brought before Adam and Eve and told that we have a great destiny together, I'm pregnant, Spike is human, and him and I are bonded together. Literally. We can read each other's minds and if one of us dies so does the other." Buffy told her ex-boyfriend who stood in front of her with his jaw dropped.

"Oh and were monarch's of the demon world" Spike finished coming to put his arm around Buffy.

"Is that enough info for you Riley Finn?" Buffy asked and Riley just stared.

"Dawn!" Spike bellowed. "Pizza's here, and so is the bread"

"What are you talking about Spi-" Dawn asked as she came down the stairs, she stopped in her tracks when she saw Riley.

"What are you doing here?" she asked coming the rest of the way down and standing next to Spike.

"I'm in town to see Buffy. When I left last time it wasn't exactly on good terms" he said.

"And it should stay that way! Now if you'll kindly show yourself out" Spike said gesturing towards the door.

"I am not leaving until I get to talk to Buffy alone" Riley said firmly.

"Over my fucking dead body!" Spike said moving towards Riley.

'Spike don't' Buffy thought grabbing Spike's arm.

'Please luv, it would be so satisfying' Spike said looking her in the eyes.

'No' she said, 'I'll talk to him if it will make him leave, I just wanna get back to being with my family'

'Alright luv, I don't like it, but your right' he said and kissed her on the cheek.

"Let's go start on that pizza bit' he said putting his hand on Dawn's shoulder leading her to the dining room.

"No macking on my fiancé, remember I can read her thoughts" Spike said glaring at Riley.

Buffy gestured for him to follow her into the living room and the two sat down. Riley on the chair, Buffy on the couch.

"What the hell is-" Riley began.

"Save it Riley. I only agreed to this because I know you won't leave until I do" Buffy said sternly.

"Buffy, I came to talk to you because I felt bad about leaving you, I know I gave an ultimatum because it was the only way I knew to find out if you truly loved me. I know it was wrong, but I needed to know. You never showed up so...I guess you didn't" Riley said looking at the patterns on the carpet.

"Your right I didn't show" Buffy said looking down so he couldn't see her lie. "I'm sorry I didn't Riley, but I did care for you, I just didn't love you. I never meant to hurt you, I just couldn't let you believe that I did. In the long run it wouldn't have been great anyway, according to the power's that be, my relationship with Spike was unavoidable" she said reaching over and placing her hand over his.

"Oh" Riley said looking at her. "Are you happy?"

"A world of yes" she said honestly. "No one has made me feel so loved, made me feel complete, as much as Spike does" Buffy said to him. "And now were getting married, I'm pregnant with a daughter that is going to do great things for mankind, and I'm very happy"

"and your rich too huh?" Riley asked.

"Yea, I am" Buffy said.

"Who's car is that outside?" Riley asked curious.

"Spike bought it, but its ours" she answered.

"So he's living off of you" Riley demanded.

"No! Spike has his own money!" Buffy said getting angry.

"Buffy how can you love him?! How could you love him over me" he asked standing up.

"How can you ask me that!" Buffy asked her voice rising.

"Easily! Now answer the question"

"I can love him because he is everything your not! He's romantic, he's loving, he's strong, he would die for me and Dawn, he would never run scared, and he would never demand that I prove I love him!" Buffy yelled. Spike and Dawn emerged from the Dining room and watched as Buffy and Riley fought.

"Yea now that he's human! You fell for him before..what ever it was that happened to you" Riley retorted.

"Nothing with Spike has changed! He just doesn't combust when he meets Mr. Sunshine! He was more of man then you were before he was turned!" Buffy blurt out.

"Fine Buffy you wanna play that game" Riley said glaring at her. "Goodbye! I'm leaving Sunnydale for good, and I'm not coming back. I came here to tell you I still loved you, and that I wanted to try with you again, but it seems that your too busy fucking Spike to wake up and care about someone other than yourself!" Riley said and turned to go.

"Fuck you wheat-a-bix" Spike said and punched him in the jaw. Riley swung back and hit Spike in the eye.

"Oh baby wants to play does he!" Spike said and punched Riley in the stomach. Riley coughed up some blood, then swung again and hit Spike in the jaw.

"What the hell are you fighting me for Spike? You have her!" Riley said and punched him again. "Or is it that you have her but you don't?" he said and kicked Spike in the stomach.

"You wish!" Spike growled out and leapt on top of Riley.

"Would you two stop it!" Buffy yelled. When neither of them stopped Dawn took it upon her self do something. She closed her eyes and concentrated. She lifted her hands and flew them apart, throwing Riley and Spike apart. Riley went to get up again and charge at Spike when Dawn waved her hands and threw him into the window. The window crashed and Riley landed on the front lawn.

"Oops" Dawn said meekly. Spike looked at her and then went outside. Buffy and Dawn followed and the three found Riley unconscious on the ground.

"Dawn, can you heal him?" Spike asked looking at her.

"I-I think so" she answered and moved over to Riley. She placed both of her hands over his body and closed her eyes. After a few seconds two small green balls came out of Dawn's hands and began to circle over Riley's body. After about a minute they stopped over his heart and disappeared.

"Riley?" Buffy asked shaking him.

"Buffy?" He asked waking up. "What happened?" he asked sitting up.

"You and Spike were fighting and Dawn separated you two. When you tried to get up again she threw you through the window" Buffy answered.

"How?" Riley asked looking at the brunette. "And how come I'm not in any pain?"

"Well you see the thing is, when Buffy and Spike underwent their coronation I gained some power's. I can change organic things, levitate and heal.." Dawn said nervously. Spike come over and hugged her.

"Oh" Riley said.

'Are you ok Spike?' Buffy asked him.

"Yea I'm fine luv, don't worry about me" Spike answered out loud.

"I think I'll just be leaving now" Riley said.

"I'm sorry Riley" Buffy said sincerely.

"So am I Buffy, So am I" Riley said walking to his car, "I wish you all the best of luck" he said before getting in. "You'll need it" he said getting in. He turned the car on and drove away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"That was good" Spike said patting his stomach. He, Buffy, and Dawn had just finished watching Austin Power's and eating their pizza and were now enjoying some down time from earlier.

"It sure was!" Dawn said sprawling out on the floor. Buffy was asleep on the couch next to Spike and Dawn and him were talking about nothing at all.

"So do you have any love interests bit?" Spike asked.

"Nope. The last guy I liked turned out to be a vampire so I am being cautious about it..." Dawn answered sitting up and sipping her coke.

"That's good" Spike said nodding. "What do you say we take big sis upstairs so she can sleep in a bed instead of the couch?" Spike said moving to lift Buffy up.

"Ok" Dawn said getting up. Spike lifted Buffy up and carried her up the stairs, when he got to their bedroom he waited for Dawn to open the door. When she finally opened the door Spike asked her to pull the blanket back so he could undress her. When Dawn did so he laid Buffy down on the bed and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Goodnight Spike" Dawn said coming to hug him.

"Goodnight Dawn" Spike said hugging her back, he kissed her on the forehead and smiled down at her. "You did a great job tonight" he said lovingly.

"Thanks Spike" she said and walked out the door to her room. He turned his attention back to Buffy and began to undress her. When she moaned his name he kissed her and she fell back asleep. When Buffy was naked he went to the dresser and got her a nightgown, gently placing it over head and pulling it down.

"You take such good care of me baby" Buffy said smiling up at him as finished pulling down the gown. "Thank-you"

"Your welcome pet" he said and turned to undress. He slipped into bed with her and kissed her goodnight.

"I love you Spike" Buffy said cuddling up to him.

"I love you too" he said and closed his eyes.

Surprise Part 2

"Yea Giles, there getting married" Dawn said in to the phone. "please be happy for her, a lot of things have happened in the last few weeks and she would really love it for you to support her"

"I understand Dawn." Giles said calmly "My flight leaves tomorrow night, see you then"

"Great, see you than" Dawn said and hung up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Buffy!" Dawn said shaking her sister as she knelt next to the bed. "wake up!"

"Whaûok Spike go start the shower" Buffy said rolling over.

"BUFFY!" Dawn yelled.

"What? Oh Dawnie!" Buffy said looking at her sister with a look of embarrassment on her face. "what time is it?" Buffy said climbing out of bed. She looked to her sleeping lover and smiled as his dream filled her head. She and him were sitting beside a pond having a picnic in the nude. Buffy pushed Dawn in to the hallway so they could talk and not wake up Spike.

"I just called Giles" Dawn confessed.

"Oh boy, I think I am gonna need a coffee for this one" Buffy said and headed towards the kitchen. When the two girls arrived Dawn got out the coffee and Buffy filled up the coffee pot with water, once the coffee was set to perk, Buffy and Dawn sat down at the island.

"What did you tell him?" Buffy asked first.

"Buffy its been a week in a half since Spike purposed and you still hadn't phoned Giles, I miss him, and I want him here." Dawn confessed.

"Wow your just choc full of admittance tonight" Buffy observed and Dawn nodded.

"Anyway I told Giles about the prophecy and the power's and the coronation and what happened to me. As soon as I said the words, Monarch's of the demon world, he mumbled something about his books, he said that it was written in the book of Raybon. He said it basically told the destiny of two great warriors and the child they would produce. It has some other stuff in it, mostly about apocalypses and battles, the court of the monarch's and the basic idea of the chalice of life."

"That would be you" Buffy said.

"Yea, that would be me. So this was really all forseen and supposed to happen?" Dawn asked.

"Looks that way honey" Buffy said moving some hair out of her sister's face. "What did Giles say about the whole thing though?"

"He said, and I almost fell over when he said it, æit was about time that those two stopped arguing and found another way to vent the sexual frustration'. Can you believe that?" Dawn asked surprised.

"no I can't" Buffy answered. "did he say anything else?"

"He said that he wasn't happy about it, but at least you finally found someone that can make you happy, and since it seems that you two were meant to be than there was no stopping it, and that he understands"

"Well good, I wouldn't feel right about this if Giles didn't approve." Buffy said hugging her sister, she glanced over to the coffee pot and when she noticed it was done, she got up and got herself a cup.

"Oh he approves, and he's leaving England tomorrow night" Dawn said just as Buffy was taking a sip of her coffee. Buffy immediately spit out the contents of her mouth and sprayed it all over Dawn.

"Eww Buffy! If I wanted some coffee I would have got some myself" Dawn exclaimed whipping some off of her face.

'Buffy?' Spike asked, his voice filling her head. æwhere are you pet?'

'Downstairs, talking to Dawn' she answered reaching for a towel. She handed it to Dawn and then went to grab a washcloth from under the sink so she could wipe off the counter.

'Mind if I join you' he asked getting out of bed.

'I think you better, Dawn just told me some interesting news'

'On my way' he said heading towards the stairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Giles is going to arrive tomorrow night" Buffy said the room. "I want everything to be perfect so I am hiring a cleaning service to come to the house tomorrow afternoon, Dawn will be at school and Spike and I have an appointment with a wedding coordinator" Buffy said with a commanding tone."I am having dinner made and delivered, Tara and Willow have already promised that they would be there when its delivered and have everything set up for when we get back. Giles' plane arrives at 6:30 and Spike and I are going to pick him up so I want everyone to be at the house when we get back. Everyone clear?" The scoobies nodded faithfully and Buffy smiled.

"I have to go to the store for some things, I'll be back in a few minutes" Bufffy said waving and walking out the door.

"Good god she's like a Nazi event organizer!" Xander quipped. "Does she even know that its her birthday tomorrow?"

"I think she forgot" Tara said patiently. "with everything that has being going on and all"

"Well she is going to get a reminder" Spike said puffing on a cigarette.

"Can she hear you" Willow asked.

"Nope. We've both gotten really good at the blocking thing, I can hear if she wants me and I know what her thoughts are but she can't hear mine unless I let her..its pretty neat. Right now she is getting mad at the price of double chocolate mint Ice cream at the store, and now she's thinking about licking ice cream off my-ouch...umm I'd rather leave that part out if you don't mind" Spike said wincing at Buffy ice cream thoughts.

"Thanks for that" Xander said gratefully.

"So anyway, when I called Giles the other day he told me he was coming home for Buffy's birthday anyway so its not like he's getting up and leaving on a whim." Dawn said twirling her hair.

"Wouldn't wanna put the watcher out" Spike smirked. "ok so decorations?" he asked continuing the discussion about the party.

"As soon as you and Buffy leave Xander and Anya are coming over and were going at it" Willow answered blushing at the dirtiness of that "I mean the decorations not each other"

"Oh pooh!" Anya said pouting. Off Xander's look she stated "what an orgy looked really fun when we rented that porno!"

"You guys rented porn?" Dawn asked sitting up.

"Yes Xander said it makes the experience of sex more fun. Personally I don't need to see other people have sex in order for me to get aroused Xander does that really well all by himself" Anya stated proudly.

"Anya! You really need to start taking into account that Dawn is in the room when you say these things!" Xander said to his fiancé.

"Oh whelp leave er alone, Dawn has heard worse, and your fiancé just payed you one of the best compliments a guy could get so if I were you I would shut the fuck up" Spike winking at Anya.

"He's right Xand" Willow pointed out. Xander slumped in his chair defeated for a second and then sat back up and leaned over to kiss Anya.

"Thanks honey" Xander said apologetically. "and if it counts for anything, I don't need porn either, I just rented it for us because you wanted to try new things"

"I meant like strawberries and whip cream, or handcuffs or whips, or leather, or oh edible underwear-" Anya said bluntly, everyone cutting her off with a loud resounding 'ANYA!'

"Buffy is at the check out counter" Spike said quickly.

"I ordered a birthday cake" Dawn said proudly, "the bakery said they would deliver it to the house at quarter to 7, I told them there is another 20 dollars in it for them if they deliver it on time"

"That was a good idea pet" Spike said standing up. "Buffy wants to go home and then go to dinner, so we better get going"

"K" the teen answered.

"See ya guys later" Spike said heading for the door putting his arm around Dawn.

"Spike" Tara said getting up and walking over to the ex-vampire.

"What pixie" Spike said smiling at the blonde.

"Buffy's present?" she asked knowingly.

"yea?"

"Good idea" Tara said with a smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day...

"I see your wedding in red and white. Candles, red and white roses, oh and silver shimmer chiffon..oh this is going to be fun! And you two are just so gorgeous together!" the man said. He had introduced himself as Dan.

"You'll have to excuse my boyfriend he's a little excited" the short red head women who's name was Nicole said.

'he's gay' Spike commented

'yep' Buffy agreed.

"You two do this as a partnership?" Spike asked sitting next to Buffy on the heart shaped sofa. They both smiled at each other lovingly and then smiled at Buffy and Spike.

"Have you two picked a date?" Nicole asked.

"well we were thinking maybe March 1 st" Buffy answered.

"That's great, beginning of the ides of march" Dan quipped.

"Yea" Spike said half-laughing.

"So we'll be getting back to you next week, we have what we need to work out a basic plan" Nicole said pleasantly.

"Great, you have my number" Buffy said standing up.

"We do" Dan answered reaching his hand out to Spike's. The two men shook and they left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Happy birthday Buffy" Spike said handing her a black rectangular velvet box. Her and Spike were sitting at the espresso pump enjoying cups of hot chocolate. He kissed her softly her on lips as he handed her his present. Buffy opened it and just stared at the beautiful necklace inside. It was silver with small diamonds embedded into the thin chain, the pendent was a small silver heart with a English font R in it.

"It belonged to my mother, she gave it to me a long time ago. She told me that when I found the women I wanted to marry to give it to her" he said as Buffy smiled. "open the locket pet". She did as he asked a saw a picture of her and Spike inside. The other side was empty.

"When our daughter is born then you can put a picture of her in there" Spike said off of Buffy's look at the empty spot.

"Thank-you Spike" she said sincerely. She kissed him full on the lips and ran her fingers through his hair.

"You loved Dru didn't you?" she asked out of the blue.

"I did, at least I think I did. I know that I will always care for her, even though she was a little nuts, she was a sensational women. I guess I did love her, but it seems like its not important anymore. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone" Spike stated to her his blue eyes sparkling.

"I know you do Spike, I feel the same way. My love for Angel was so intense. But you were right that time you said that he and I would never be friends, and that's what was missing and wrong with our relationship. That's why our relationship is so much better, we hated each other first, then we became truce buddies, we then became friends and now were getting married" Buffy said her eyes full of love and desire.

"I love you" he said kissing her again, his tongue touched her bottom lips and she opened her mouth. They kissed with more passion then ever before, the world fell away and it was only them. It was like time stopped, every sound put on pause, everything but their bodies gone.

"Geez make out much?" Dawn said sitting into a chair at the table ruining the moment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"what do you mean the cake isn't going to be ready?" Willow screamed in to the phone. "Someone called and ordered it yesterday! There is even a twenty dollar insurance that we have that cake here before 7:00!!"

"I'm sorry ma'am but the oven broke down." a timid voice spoke into the phone.

"Look again" Willow said taking the phone away from her mouth. She closed her eyes and quickly chanted "heatous machine incindra".

"Well I'll be damned, I swear it was broken..." he exclaimed flabbergasted.

"So the oven is working?" Willow asked.

"Yes it seems so" the man answered.

"Can you have it cooked and finished within the next two hours?" Willow asked frantic. 'They had to have a cake, it just wouldn't be right without one. Everything had to be perfect tonight, nothing could go wrong' Willow thought.

"Yes but we would have to make only that" he answered annoyed.

"Look, I'll pay you more just get it done and here before 7!" Willow said and hung up the phone before the man had a chance to answer. Willow walked into the living room to find Tara and Dawn hanging up streamers and decorations and Xander and Anya moving things around for the party.

"The cake will be here on time! As long as Spike can keep Buffy out of the house for the next to hours things will be fine." Willow said handing Tara a decoration.

"You know what you just did don't you?" Xander said turning around.

"What?" Willow asked innocently thinking he was referring to her use of magic earlier.

"You jinxed it! Buffy will come home before she has to and the surprise will be ruined" Xander answered.

"Oh" Willow said a bit relieved that no one had realised her indulgence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"lets go home Spike, we don't need to pick up Giles for another hour, and we could get in a little..umm Birthday activity" Buffy said with a seductive glance. Her and Spike were on the beach laying on a blanket looking at the stars.

"No luv, we don't need to waste the gas" Spike said blowing out smoke from his fag.

'What?' Buffy thought in her head. She had been trying to enter Spike's mind for hours but he was still blocking her and she couldn't figure out why.

"I just want to spend some time with my lady will I can luv, is that to much to ask? Your pregnant and soon it won't just be us anymore. It will be us and a little girl!" Spike said running his fingers through her hair.

"Why are you blocking me Spike?" Buffy asked sitting up.

"No reason, just am" Spike said calmly. Even though in his head he was trying to find a good excuse.

"No reason? There must be a reas-" she protested but he silenced her with a kiss.

"There is no reason luv" he said and let down the barrier between them. His thoughts flooded her mind and she staggered a bit. He was thinking about his mother before she died. How beautiful she looked at that moment, and how glad his mother would have been to have seen him with her.

'See luv, not hiding a thing' he thought kissing her closed eyes.

"Even if you were, I don't care. I just don't feel connected to you when you block me off. I don't do it to you that often!" she said with a small pout.

"Oh! Look at that lip! I am gonna bite it" he said and attacked her bottom lip with his teeth, nibbling on it slightly.

"William! Don't you start anything you can't finish!" Buffy said melting at his touch.

"Oh I can finish, but your watcher might be waiting for a bit" he said and silenced her quickly with a passionate and fiery kiss that sent her body chills.

'How many more places are we going to have sex?' Buffy exclaimed in her mind.

'Every where luv, until we have concord the world!' he answered undoing her blouse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

7:34 pm...

"Oh my god Giles were so sorry!" Buffy said running up and hugging her rightful father.

"not to worry Buffy" Giles said smiling and hugging her back. "I am sure you were either busy or contained for a few minutes" he said eyeing Spike. Spike bounced on his heals and then moved to take Giles' bag for him.

"We were held back for a few minutes" Buffy said letting go of him. "but we are here now and its time to party!" she said and the three headed for the car.

End Chapter 5....
