I don’t own any of the characters in this they all belong to Joss Whedon. Don’t sue
This is my first fanfic so I know its not going to be as good as everyone else’s. But I’ll have a go anyway. Wish me luck and please review. Tell me how I can make it better in future and which bits you like about it. I’ve noticed a few spelling/grammatical errors, I blame my stupid spell check I can’t use it. I will try and make sure that everything is right
Historians note: This happens a few years after Buffy season 7. There was no end of angel and there was no apocalypse.
Chapter 23 – time to tell
Buffy hadn’t left the apartment in days. She couldn’t bare it if she ran into spike and he started asking questions. So she had decided to stay inside and just hope that it would all go away, even though she knew deep down things wouldn’t change.
Buffy had been lying in bed staring at the ceiling for the past hour. She had been thinking about the baby; that’s all she thought about at the moment. She decided to pull herself out of bed as she was starting to get hungry.
Buffy pulled on her dressing gown and walked slowly out of the bedroom. She walked into her small kitchen, she missed her big kitchen at her old house; the one where she lived with Carlo. That house was what every little girl dreamed about.
But she missed the house in Sunnydale more. It felt really ….. She didn’t know, it just felt like home. That house was perfect, and was now at the bottom of a crater.
Buffy opened the fridge to find it empty.
“Ok, this is the problem when you don’t leave the flat” she said. She reluctantly closed the fridge and opened the cupboards to find them all empty as well.
“I guess I better go do a bit of shopping” she said with a sigh.
Buffy was lucky. She had a joint account with Carlo and he had lots of money, so she decided to live off him for a bit. At first, she thought that was a bit weird; taking her ex husbands money. But it was kinda weird that he wasn’t human so she thought of it as compensation.
Buffy put a hand on her stomach. She had a little bump, some one who didn’t know she was pregnant wouldn’t have noticed, but that didn’t matter. It was starting.
Buffy went to have a shower and then got changed into a pair of black jeans and red top. She had retrieved all her clothes from her house with the help of angel and spike. It seemed they couldn’t get her stuff out of that house any quicker. Buffy didn’t care about this, she just wanted to get out of the house and forget about it.
It had sold quickly enough, a perfect house like that wouldn’t stay on the market for long. She got a good price, so this added to her funds.
After Buffy applied her make up she was ready to face the world; she kept telling herself this as she left the apartment.
‘Maybe I should stop in to see angel. I kind of owe him for letting me live here’ she thought as the elevator door opened and she walked out towards Angels’ office.
Buffy pushed open the doors and saw angel sitting at his desk. Spike was standing looking out at sunny LA. Buffy never got used to seeing the two vampires in the light.
“Buffy” angel said as he looked up from his book.
Spike turned around, he hadn’t noticed Buffy come in. “hi pet” he said.
Buffy smiled a little. “Just thought I’d drop by and say hi” she said. “So hi” she added then turned around ready to walk out the door.
“No wait Buffy” angel said. “I haven’t seen you in ages, why don’t you stay and chat for a while”.
Buffy turned on her heels. “Emm I dunno, I have to go shopping for food and stuff” she said sounding hesitant.
Spike had been watching her closely she had noticed.
“I can get some one to go food shopping for you. It’s ok” angel said as he picked up his phone.
“No angel it’s…” but he was already asking harmony to get someone to get food for her apartment.
Angel hung the phone up. “Done” he said, “now you can talk to me... I mean us”.
Buffy smiled weakly and walked over to a leather arm chair then sat down. She glanced from Spike to Angel.
“You feeling ok luv? Haven’t seen you in a few days” spike said to her as he sat on the arm of another chair.
“I’m good” Buffy said.
Spike raised an eye brow, “you sure?”
“Yes spike I’m fine” she said irritably.
Angel looked at spike. He had never understood what she saw in him and was glad that they were no longer together.
Buffy wondered whether angel knew she was pregnant.
Maybe spike told him to rub it in or something.
‘If he’s told angel, I’m gonna kill him’ she thought to herself.
Angel stood up, “I’m going to go get some blood” he said.
“Why don’t you just ask harmony to get some?” she asked curiously.
“She's busy doing work. Well she's probably painting her nails again but it’s less hassle if I get it myself. I’ll be back in a minute” he said as he walked out the office.
As soon as angel left, Buffy got up out of the arm chair.
“Have you told him?” she asked Spike.
“Told who what?” spike asked innocently.
“Don’t play dumb with me spike. Did you tell angel that I’m…” Buffy said.
“That you’re carrying my baby, no I haven’t told him. Bloody well tempted though. Just to see the look on peaches face when he finds out there’s no way of getting back with you, that moment would be priceless.” Spike told her as he stood up as well.
“Spike, stop saying what I can and can’t do. I can date who ever I want to date. And just because I am carrying your baby doesn’t mean that I can date other people.” She explained.
Spikes eyes dropped to the floor.
“Spike, I’m not getting back with angel, you know that” Buffy said.
Spike grinned, “Yeah cos if you were, I might have to hurt him. He doesn’t deserve you” he said.
Buffy smiled.
Spike walked over to her, “besides you know we’re good together slayer”.
Buffy stepped back a little. “I think I need to tell angel I’m pregnant.”
“And I’m going to be there when *that* happens. Its gonna be hilarious” spike smiled.
“No your not, I need to tell him with out you here. I don’t know how he’s going to react” she said.
“So I need to be here to protect you” spike told her.
“Angel won’t hurt me spike and you know that” Buffy told him. To be honest she didn’t know how angel would react. It didn’t really matter, but she thought he deserved to know.
Angel re entered the office carrying a mug of blood.
Buffy gave spike a ‘get out now’ look.
Spike was going to protest but saw there was no point, he walked out the office and closed the doors behind him. Of course he would be listening from outside the door.
“Whats wrong with captain peroxide?” angel asked as he sat back down.
“Nothing” she said, she wanted to get straight to the point.
“Angel I have something to tell you!"
