Falling Under

"I can only imagine it means that there will be demons out to have this prophecy not be fulfilled," she added.

"Giles confirmed that saying that we need to keep you under close and careful guard. He also will be arriving in one week," Willow said to the couple.
ike ike nodded at Willow.

"Well luv, you have both Dawn and Willow in the house to take care of you at night so I can do the patrolling," he started.

"No."

"No?"

"No. You Spike are moving in with us. If I need to be under guard then so do you. You are the other half of this prophecy and I will not let anything happen to you." Buffy said turning around and looking at him.

"Buffy....." Willow said.

"No Willow he will stay with us."

"Buffy by all means. I think it’s a good idea. I was just gonna say that we can all help Spike with the patrolling and that none of us goes out at night with out a partner. Even you Xander."

Xander huffed muttering something like he could take care of himself but said nothing else. He was getting angrier and angrier by the minute. Now they were going to live together? When did it stop?

"Buffy how far along do you think you are?" Tara asked.

"I’m thinking about 5 weeks."

"You should see a doctor." Tara said as the others minus Xander nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. I’m going to. I think I have to be like 8 weeks along first."

Spike smiled as they all started asking questions like what sex did they think the baby was, and were they excited. Have they thought about any names, questions anybody would ask a normal conventional couple.

Best find out what the demon population is saying about all this. They don't know I’m involved with the slayer, maybe I could get some bloody info out of them, he thought as he started putting together a plan.

It was 2 nights later that Spike started to move all his things into Casa de Summers. Not that he had much but the things he had he kept close to his heart.
Buffy and Dawn had a made a comfortable space in the basement for his boxes of memorabilia. They had even bought plastic containers to store it to keep it extra safe.

Willow had moved out of the master bedroom and into Tara's dorm room. It was the more logical solution, as they would need room for a crib and all the baby stuff. Willow and Tara had more then made up and were ready for their relationship to begin again.

The more changes that were made the happier Buffy was becoming. She was soo in love with Spike that it scared her. But at the same time it was exhilarating to have him know how she felt.

They were living together and they were going to have a baby. It all felt like the normal life Buffy always wanted with just a side of her slayer life. Spike was by far an unconventional dad but she knew he would always be there for her and their child.

Love would get them through anything this she was sure of. She smiled as Spike walked by her and touched her arm. She was making their bed.

Their bed, she thought again.

Spike was on the other side of the room smiling at her thought. He was feeling the same way she was. But he was scared to. Not for them but for their child. The demons didn't know much. Just that something big was about to happen. He hoped Giles would have more information when he arrived in a couple of days.
It was hard not knowing what was going to happen or how he could protect his kin. Dawn, Buffy and their child meant the world to him.

What would be the next step? Spike wanted it all. He wanted the big house with the white picket fence. He wanted marriage and children. He the big bad wanted a normal human life. What was really amazing is that he had always wanted this with Buffy. No other. Just Buffy. Drusilla was right Buffy was floating all around him. What he didn't know what he was always floating around Buffy.

"I was thinking James," Buffy said cutting into his thoughts.

"Hmm...what?"

"James if we have a boy," she repeated.

"What is our son a bleedin butler?"

"Well I like it. It’s nice. Besides what did you want? Fang? Thor?"

"I was thinking Michael or Patrick," he said walking around the bed to her.

"We could do Michael James or Patrick James," she said wrapping his arms around her waist.

"What if its a girl?" he breathed his mouth close to hers.

"Isabella." she whispered her mouth finally capturing his.

"hmm I like that," he said against her lips.

"I kinda figured you would since you have been whispering it in my ear for days now."

Spike chuckled and pulled her closer.

"Oh did you?" he said kissing her.

A soft choking noise was heard interrupting their kiss.
es Des Dawn?" Buffy said a little irritated.

"Sorry guys I was just wondering what are we gonna eat tonight. My tummy is all sorts of rumbly right now," Dawn said sheepishly.

"Why don't we order out?" Spike suggested.

"Pizza," the girls said in unison.

"Pizza is it then," Spike said laughing as he left the room to place the order.

Dawn came in and sat on the bed.

"It looks different in here now," she said tracing patterns on the bedspread.

"I know," Buffy replied sitting down next to her.

"She would be happy you know. She always liked Spike."

Buffy turned and faced her sister.

"I know," she said tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry. Everything will work out." Dawn patted her hand. Buffy opened her mouth to say something.

"Let me guess you know?"

Downstairs Spike could hear the sistersghinghing and he smiled at them. He felt their love radiating in the house. Never had he been so happy. Still smiling he dialed the number for the pizza place.
