Chapter Eight – My Stuffy Old Watcher.

Buffy woke up, looked and groaned. According to Willow this was the ideal time to phone England as it was early in the night of late in the afternoon, or was it late in the night or early in the morning. Either way she was going to call Giles and tell him of her recent ahh….. Impregnation, fertilisation, mastur- wait NO!

She moved to get out of bed only to find her self trapped. She quickly looked down to find shirtless Spikes hands around her waist, shirtless- happy thoughts.

She removed herself from his embrace and set about the task of quickly dressing.

“Bufffffyyy” Spike whined from the bed. “Get back in bed, your like one of those warm smelly wheat bags you put in the microwave.”

“Gee thanks honey, way to make a girl feel needed – tell her she smells.”

“No, but you’re hot.”

“In some visibly warped twisted Spike way, that’s kinda sweet”

“Oh come back ducks”

“No, I have to call Giles and inform him of Buffy junior”

‘Buffy jr, what if its Spike junior?”

“I can just imagine a little bleached blonde three year old wearing leather, saying things like bloody hell and spuds off to everything.”

“Pet, its sod” Spike said smirking

“Whatever, now I have to go call Giles.”

Spikes face blanched “He’ll cut off my parts, I’ll become William the Castrated. Buffy luv, think very hard about this.”

“It’s your parts that got us into this cute baby shaped mess.”

“Takes two, to tango.”

“Yes, but one poor, little, Buffy to go through labour.”

“I’ll be there for you love.” He said leaning in to capture her lips. Soft and passionately his tongue seeking entrance to her mouth then…. The doorbell rang.

“Bloody Hell” they both said then looked at each other, terrified.

Buffy broke away and headed downstairs. Spike waited a minute before following.

Buffy made sure her clothes were straight and slowly opened the door to reveal another British man of whom arms Buffy flew into.

“Giles you’re back, you look good.”

“Nice to see you to Buffy, you look great also.” Buffy pulled back and allowed Giles to enter.

“Buffy, I’m not going to lie to you I believe that there is a prophecy of grave importance”

Giles said as he headed towards the lounge room. ”surrounding Faith including……”

He trailed off as he saw Spike casually sitting in the arm chair,

“Spike, you’re here” Giles addressed the vampire “And shirtless”

“Yes isn’t it great.” Buffy said without thinking. “Opps” she took a seat on the couch next to Giles. “There is something that I wanted to tell you too, I was going to call you this morning but well. Now you’re here, I can tell you in person.”

She looked at Spike, Pleadingly for help and he came over, sat on the other side took her hand and said “Watcher me and the Slayer, well we’re an item now”

“What” Giles said unbelievingly “Buffy is this true?”

“Yes, yes it is and before you say anything I know what I’m doing. I am not drugged, crazy, under a spell or a robot of any kind.” She turned and looked Spike in the eyes

“I love him and he loves me.”

“Dear Lord” Giles said taking of his glasses and cleaning them he began pacing madly

“I never thought……dear lord.”

“What Giles is it that hard for you to understand that Buffy loves me “ Spike said standing up “I can take care of her make her happy, her and the baby.” Spike eyes grew wide in realization of what had just slipped out, he had meant every word of it but Giles did not know about the baby yet.

“So it’s true.” He turned to his Slayer. “Buffy is it Spikes.”

“Yes, it is” She said meeting his eyes.

“Then I believe the prophecy I thought was for Faith, was in fact for you.”

“Huh?” Buffy asked

“there is a prophecy in one of my books, it is of a slayer conceiving a vampires child, but I just assumed it was for Faith, I never would have thought it would be you”

“Wait…prophecy? It’s not a ‘Buffy’s gonna die again’ prophecy is it? Coz those are never fun…Oh God, the baby, is it okay? What’s going to happen with it?” she asked, placing a hand on her stomach protectively. Spike walked up to her and put his arms around her reassuringly

“So far I have only uncovered the fact that the conceiving was going to occur, that’s why I am here, to research this and try to find answers. I believe it will be a lot easier now we know for sure that it is you” Giles said

“Spike, can you go and wake Dawn up for school please?” Buffy asked. Spike knew she was trying to get him out of the room, but decided not to say anything about it

“Sure pet” he said, kissing her on the top of the head before heading towards the stairs.

Buffy turned to Giles, a look of concern on her face

“Giles, are you upset? I mean, about me getting involved with another vampire?” she asked him

Giles was silent for a few moments, thinking of his answer

“I’m not going to lie to you, I don’t like the idea of you with another vampire, but, I know how much Spike loves you and how much you love him, and as long as you’re happy, that’s all I care about” He told her

Buffy, with tears in her eyes, grabbed Giles for a hug

“Thankyou Giles, thankyou so much”

“It’s ok Buffy, really, but I do still need to breath” He told her

“Oh, right, sorry” she said, releasing him from her grasp.

They both walked into the kitchen and Buffy began to make Dawn breakfast, as well as a cup of tea for Giles, and a cup of blood for Spike and toast for herself when they heard Dawn stomping down the stairs

“Don’t ever, ever let him wake me up again…ever” Dawn said, she was till in her pyjamas and her hair was messy from sleeping

“Why Dawnie, what happened?” Buffy asked

“I wake up to find a teddy bear at the end of my bed with a sharp pencil in its paws, singing the tune from jaws” she said, sitting down at the breakfast bench. It was only then she realized Giles was there

“Giles!” she exclaimed “you’re here! What are you doing here?” she asked, greeting him with a hug

“I’ve come to see Buffy about, um,”

“Giles, it’s ok, she knows” Buffy said

“Ah, right, I came to see Buffy about the pregnancy” Giles said

“Ooh, isn’t it great?” Dawn asked, sitting herself back down again

“yes, it is great” Giles said, sending a warm, sincere smile in Buffy’s direction, she smiled back before returning to cooking.

After a few minutes, Andrew walked down the stair wearing wonder women pyjama’s and rubbing his eyes sleepily

“Who’s Guyles?” Andrew asked

Giles eyes widened in surprise

“Um, Buffy, who is this, and why is he calling me guyles?” Giles asked, taking the cup of tea Buffy handed to him

“O

h, Giles, this is Andrew, he’s kind of living with us now, it’s a long story, I’ll tell you later” she said, handing Dawn a plate of chocolate chip pancakes “He knows about slayers and demons and stuff though…he’s Tuckers brother”

“Oh, yes, I hope he isn’t planning on following in his brothers footsteps?” Giles asked, eyeing Andrew suspiciously

“Hey mister! I make my own footsteps, I am an individual, that, and his feet are too big” Andrew said

“Oh-Kay” Giles said, at that moment Spike walked into the kitchen, and, to Buffy and Andrews disappointment, he had put a shirt on. Buffy pouted a little

“Why are you wearing a shirt again? I don’t like it when you wear shirts” she told him, Spike didn’t reply, he was just standing there giving her a disgusted look

“What?” Buffy asked

“Um, pet, what are you doing?”

“What does it look like? I’m making toast” she said, as though it was the most obvious thing in the world

“Yes, I can see that, but why does your toast have mayonnaise and chicken salt on it?”

“Because I want it too” she said taking a bite.

“Ewws” came from everyone in the kitchen.

Dawn got off her chair “All right I am going to get ready for school before I lose my breakfast.” She said leaving the Kitchen

“Yes I have to get changed to I am going to the supermarket, I am out of Count Chocula and those little cocktail doggies.” He said standing up “Do you guys want anything?”

“Oh, me!” Buffy said “I want… baked beans, sardines, chicken salt and Mangos”

she said, receiving looks from everyone in the room. “What I’m not going to eat them together.”

Sighs of relief filled the room “You eat the Mangos separate”

“I’m gonna go have a shower now pet” Spike said, pressing a kiss to her temple and heading upstairs.

As soon as everyone had left, Buffy and Giles finished cleaning up the breakfast dishes before heading into the lounge room and taking a seat on the couch

“So, are you going to be staying here with us?” Buffy asked him

“Well, I would, but do you have any room here?”

“We can make room for you” she said “ooh…you can bunk with Andrew” she said and after noticing the look of terror on Giles’ face she quickly added “not in the same bed, we have one of those fold out bed things” she said

Giles let out a sigh of relief. “Then, yes, thankyou, I will stay”

“Good, it’ll be nice to have you back in the house again, and I’m sure everyone will love having you back to”

“What about the others?” Giles asked “do they new about the baby?”

“Well, yes and no” she said looking down at her lap
”I see, you haven’t old Xander yet, have you?”

“Well, if you mean, have I actually gone up to him and said…Hey, Xander I am pregnant with Spikes child, then no”

“Are you planning on telling him any time soon?”

“Well, I tried to bribe the others into telling him, but they all said no, I was thinking I could just wait until I get really fat and let him work it out for himself” She told him

“Buffy, Xander will be alright, it will definitely come as a shock to him, but he’ll, as you lot say, deal with it”

“Thanks Giles, I think you’re right, I mean, if your ok about it, Xander will be to, you are ok about it right?” she asked nervously

“Yes, Buffy, I said it and I meant it, but I don’t see why you’re so worried about this stuffy old watchers opinion” he told her

Buffy smiled at him

“You may be a stuffy old watcher, but you’re my stuffy old watcher” she said leaning in for another hug which he openly accepted, hugging his Slayer glad to be back.

“You’re like a dad to me Giles, my surrogate father and I’m so glad that you’re back and that you approve of me, Spike and the baby. I really need your help with making sure my baby is going to be alright. And I know that Spike would do anything, anything to protect it as would I.”
”So would I Buffy, so would I. And you are like a daughter to me to, so is Dawn and I have no doubt that Spike would move heaven and earth to see Dawn, you and the baby safe and sound.” He said truthfully.

Buffy pulled back with tears in her eyes and smiled at him.

“You’re going to be a grandfather Giles, I just wish that mom was here to see her grandchild in nine or so months.”

“Yes I am.” He smiled “And your mother would be proud of you, she probably knows what is happening to you right now and happy about it. And I had a theory that, as you are the Slayer, you’re pregnancy might not take nine months”

“You mean it could be more?” Buffy asked confused.

“No, less. Who is your doctor?”

“Tara is putting me in touch with a wicca obstetrician, she has all the human credentials but it would make any abnormal things in the pregnancy easily to diagnose and explain.”

“Yes, it would. I suppose you will find out after the appointment.

“Yeah, I should.” Buffy said, before going to hurry up Dawn.
