Faith tugged the hem of her shirt down as she made her way
across the quad and walked over to Xander and his friends
where Drusilla and Spike were standing chatting.
"Hey” Faith greeted “Thanks for helping my sister yesterday."
She smiled sitting down on the bench next to Xander. Spike and
Dru greeted her and came to stand in front of the two.
"No problem.” He nodded. “How's she doing anyway?" Xander
asked worriedly looking towards the space Faith had just
walked across, trying to find Buffy.
"I don’t know if she’s coming today.” Faith said looking at
her clasped hands that where resting in between her knees. “I
don't know what she's doing.” She shrugged and glanced at
Spike and then turned her head to meet Xander’s gaze. “She
stayed the night at Giles‘s house.” Spike smiled in
reassurance that she was fine.
They heard footsteps behind them stop and the group turned
there gaze to be met by Buffy’s smiling form. Spike walked a
few steps towards her and swept her into a hug. Faith was
looking her with a strange look on her face.
"Faith, thanks for last night.” Faith raised her eyebrow. “For
letting me stay with Spike.” She nodded and smiled at her
sister. “I feel so rested. I could even go to class.” Buffy
stopped at seeing the looks Spike and Faith were giving her.
“Or I Uh...could not go” She laughed reassuring the two
people.
"Buffy you should sit down” Spike said gently shoving Buffy
towards the bench” Buffy smiled and complied with Spike’s
request. She plunked herself next to her sister who just
raised her eyebrows at Spike.
“Relax Spike. She won’t do anything to upset the baby." Faith
said wrapping her arm about Buffy’s shoulders.
"I know. I just worry yeah” He gave Buffy a gentle smile and
touched her knee. “I’ll take you to the library; make sure
you’re all comfortable.” He helped Buffy from the bench and
slipped her hand into his. “Then I’ll head off to class and
come back to check on you when it’s lunch" Spike said starting
to walk in the direction of the library.
"Don’t be forgetting bout me B." Faith said falling into step
beside the couple. Dru wasn’t far behind. “I‘ll come at lunch
with bleach boy” Faith reassured her sister.
"There’s going to be a big party” Dru said smiling. “The stars
tell mommy what’s happening” She giggled to herself as she
stared blankly ahead.
"Thanks you guys.” Buffy stopped outside the library doors
just as the bell went. “You better get to class before you get
into trouble!" Buffy said smiling generally happy for the
first time in awhile.

"Trey!” Buffy asked puzzled as she walked into the library.
Trey sat at one of the small desk‘s in the centre of the
library. “What are you doing here in the library?" Buffy
raised an eyebrow at Trey.
"Waiting for Faith." Trey smiled sweetly.
"
Oh..." Buffy trailed off seeing the look in his eyes. "Are you
guys dating again?" Buffy asked coming to stand near him.
"Yeah. I- I thought she would have told you" Trey said hurt
evident in his voice…
"I’m sure she will… There was a lot going on this morning.”
Buffy sat opposite trey and smiled in reassurance. Her smile
stopped and she started to glare at him. “Remember if you hurt
her” Buffy said pointing a finger at him. “You’re going to be
in a lot of pain….Serious amounts of pain mister." Buffy
threatened still glaring.
"I know, I know” He nodded eyes slightly widened. “And if I do
hurt her I’ll lie down and take it!" Trey said with a twinkle
in his eye.
"Good” Buffy smiled brightly. “Now that we’re all clear about
that come sit down.” Buffy patted the vacant chair next to
her. “You’re making me dizzy." Buffy said lightly. Trey’s
movement stopped seeing Buffy place a hand over her eyes. He
smiled and made his way over to her, but before he could sit
down the double doors to the library were whipped open as a
furious blonde came rushing through.
"You!” Harmony glared slowly advancing on Buffy. Trey had
stood up straight and was standing to the side of Buffy. “You
took my Blondie bear away from me!” She screamed eye’s
narrowing. “You’re going to pay for that you bitch! Nobody
dumps me" Harmony growled out taking another step towards
Buffy. Trey stepped in front of Buffy and held his hands up.
"Don't you dare touch her!" Trey threatened. Harmony was about
to start yelling again when the all too familiar sound of the
library doors squeaked open. Faith, Spike, and Drusilla walked
through in mid conversation. Their words stopped seeing the
scene unfolding in front of them.
"What's going on?" Spike asked one eyebrow raised. Buffy was
sitting in a chair behind Trey on the verge of tears.
"Barbie over here” Trey said pointing, turning his gaze from
the group that had just walked in back to a fuming Harmony.
“Tried to threaten Buffy.” Trey shot Harmony a glare. “Said
she was going to make Buffy pay for you breaking up with her”
He spoke to Spike. “I decided to intervene" Trey explained.
"Blondie Bear!” Harmony gasped out turning to face Spike. Her
eyes wide and pleading. “I was just trying to make it so there
was nothing between us. Nothing stopping us from being
together” Harmony smiled sweetly and made her way over to
Spike. “She's put a rift between us Spikey!" Harmony said
running her hand down Spike’s arm.
"Harmony” Spike’s eyes narrowed. “How many times do I have to
say we were NEVER together” He pried her hand off of his arm.
“See that woman over there” Spike pointed to Buffy who was
wiping her face. “It’s always been her. I’ve always been in
love with her.” Buffy looked up from behind Trey and smiled at
him softly.
“But- what we had” Harmony pouted.
“Harmony!” Faith growled coming to stand next to Spike. “He
doesn’t love you and he doesn’t want you. My sis and Spike
here go way back.” Faith laughed at the brief flashes of
memories she got. “God. How do you think she got pregnant? It
takes two to make a baby.”
“And that one over there is mine” Spike smiled meeting Buffy’s
eyes. “Don’t ever! Think about threatening what’s mine again
or there’ll be repercussions.” Spike glared at Harmony.
Harmony’s eyes met everyone in the room for a brief second
before she turns and hastily makes her way out. With narrowed
eyes she stares at the closed doors and vows that one way or
another she’ll make Bunny pay. She could here the muffled
voices from within.
"I love you pet. She is just a dumb blonde Barbie. Shh I am
here now! Don’t worry luv." Harmony let out a strangled noise
and stomps away from the library.
