Next Door

Spike drove for a good 8 hours straight before pulling in at a little motel. It was only 7 o’clock but he had been driving all day and was exhausted. He got them a room and collapsed onto the bed without uttering a single word. Buffy grinned down at him before heading to the bathroom. She had been dying to pee for hours and was desperate for a bathroom. She had nothing better to do really and jumped into the shower wanting to wash away all the travelling grime that you seem to pick up. When she came out of the shower Spike was still laying sprawled across the bed with all his clothes still intact and she smiled softly feeling kind of bad for how obviously tired he was. She managed to get him down to just his jeans without waking him up and she bit her lip wondering if she should take them off too. He had told her more than one he slept in the nude because he felt uncomfortable wearing clothes to bed and so she said what the hell before stripping him of those to. She let the wet towel that had been wrapped around her drop before climbing in to bed and snuggling into the pillow. She fell asleep within seconds.

She woke up just as a moan was torn form her throat and she grinned when she realised exactly what had woken her.
“You know…you could…gahh!...warn a girl.” Buffy gasped when she felt him pull out before plunging back in.
“Hmm where’s the fun in that?” He whispered against the back of her neck. She felt his hand on her hip tighten as thrust upwards again and she smiled. This was the first time since their first time that they had woken up together and waking up to him spooning her from behind was like a dream come true.
“Hmm feels so good without a condom.” Spike grunted as he picked up his pace slightly bending her a bit more to get a deeper angle.
“ughh yeah….definitely.” Buffy moaned as she felt herself getting close to release. She had missed his touch for far too long and now she was in sensory overload. She was practically bent at the waist now and she groaned as he thrust just right hitting that sweet spot inside her and before she knew it colours burst in front of her eyes and she cried out her release. The sounds coming form her always got him hot and he felt himself follow right after her burying himself deeply inside her as he finally let go. She had never felt him cum inside her without a condom before and her eyes widened at the weird sensation before she smiled. It felt kinda nice. Like she had apart of him.
They both came down slowly and Buffy straightened up so her back was flat against his chest again and his arm were around her waist. It felt so nice to be in his arms and she could feel all her stress and worries from the past month disappear as his hand came to rest on her flat stomach.
“thank you luv.”
“For what?” Buffy asked.
“I don’t know…its just…your pregnant…I…I know its probably one of the last things you wanted to happen especially at your age but im so thankful for it.” he smiled kissing her shoulder softly
“One of the last things I want?” She asked indignantly rolling in his arms so she was facing him.

“Excuse me! I was kicked out cos I refused to get rid of him! I thought I lost everything! I didn’t have a family no home and no you and I still couldn’t help but smile when I thought of him so don’t say he’s the last thing I would have wanted.” She said huffily.
“he?” he asked with a raised brow.
Surely she didn’t know yet?
“oh…its just a feeling I had.” She muttered shrugging her shoulders.
“I cant wait to see you grow.” he smiled tracing her stomach in wonder.
“yeah say that now. Wait till im a big whale who repulses you.” Buffy sighed.
“never gunna happen. You’ll look beautiful I can tell.” he grinned leaning in for a kiss which she responded whole heartedly to.
“you know what I was thinking? You said we’re going to your moms I don’t even know where she lives.” Buffy laughed at how stupid she was for not even knowing their destination.
“She lives in Montana. In a small town called Edgar. Its really out of the way not much in the town really but I think you’ll like it.” He said softly stroking her hair.
“Won't your mom…well…freak out when she finds out im 17 and pregnant?” Buffy asked worriedly.
“Nope. My mum is one of those free spirited people…believes in you cant help who you fall in love with and tha.” Spike answered trying his best to soothe her obvious fears.
“hmmm well we’ll see right? Do you think maybe we should start going again soon?” She asked curiously.
“hmm give it an hour.” he grinned before rolling on top of her and kissing her senseless.

What felt like years later and they were finally in Montana. They had fallen into a routine during the trip. Spike would drive until around noonish until they found a restaurant to eat at then they’d drive again until it started to get dark and they’d stop in any motel nearby, have sex till they were both exhausted, fall asleep in each others arms, wake up have even more sex before hoping back in the car. It was a cycle they were both more than happy with and they actually didn’t want it to end. It was amazing spending so much time together singing along to the radio or just laughing at each other and the closer to Spike’s home they got the more terrified Buffy got.
“Maybe we should turn around. Stay somewhere else till the baby is born.” Buffy said nervously biting her lip.
“Buffy please shut up…my mum will love you I swear and besides she knows we’re coming now my divorce papers got delivered there.” Spike grinned at the memory of his mothers excited squeal on the phone when she called him to tell him divorce papers had arrived.
“She knows im coming? Does she know how old I am? Or that im pregnant?” She asked pointedly.
“Well…not really I didn’t want to tell her on the phone but she knows that something’s up cos otherwise she knows I wouldn’t be coming to stay with her for a while.” Spike shrugged.
“Spike…im worried.”
“Don’t be pet I swear to you things are gunna be fine now relax. Only about ten minutes away now.” he said watching the welcome to Edgar sign approach.

Spike was right proud of his mum. He knew she’d take the situation well but she didn’t even blink when she saw Buffy step out of the car and for that he would be eternally thankful.
“Mum…this is Buffy. Buffy this is me mum Jenny.” Spike smiled placing a hand on Buffy’s back in the hope it would soothe her which it did.
“Hey.” She said quietly.
“Hello dear. Its nice to meet you.” She smiled at them.
“You two must be starved am I right?” She asked rushing back to the house with a grin.

“So how long ago did you two meet?” Jenny asked as she cut into her steak.
“Urm…11 months ago.” Buffy answered her mouth watering at the first taste of the steak.
“Oh god this is delicious.” She moaned staring down at her plate in wonder.
“Thank you Im glad someone knows how to show appreciation.” Jenny chuckled looking at her son pointedly.
“Nice food mum.”
“Nice save.” She laughed.
“So been keeping busy? How you manage to keep busy in a town like this I have no idea.” Spike chuckled.
“hey! This town may be small but its…homey anyway I was working today.” She shrugged.
“Where do you work?” Buffy asked curiously.
“Oh at the local school. Not much really I basically help them paint.” Jenny smiled thinking about the kids she worked with.
“Oh that’s something you two have in common.” Spike grinned suddenly remembering Buffy’s love for art.
“Hmm?”
“Buffy loves art…she still hasn’t let me see any of her work yet.” Spike glared at her.
“Oh you paint really!??? I have a studio upstairs perhaps…..”
Spike zoned out not hearing what they were talking about he smiled at how happy they both looked. They were chatting animatedly both obviously passionate about the subject and he hoped that his mum would like her.

Almost an two hours later and night had settled completely outside. Spike had never felt so warm and happy than he did right now sitting watching his mum and the girl he loved chatting away like old friends. He saw Buffy yawn discreetly and it was then he noticed her tired eyes and how she was slumped in her chair.
“Buffy luv…are you tired?” He asked in concern. Ever since he had found out she was pregnant he was fussing over her like crazy making sure she was comfortable and everything.
“A little.” She admitted sheepishly.
“Well off to bed with you then.” Spike rushed moving forward to help her up. Joyce stared at her son in confusion wondering why he was being so careful with her. Her son had always been a gentleman yes but he was being almost to caring right now even Buffy looked uncomfortable with how much he was fussing over her.
“My rooms still my room right?” Spike asked.
“you know it is.” Jenny laughed rolling her eyes.
“Goodnight Buffy.
“Goodnight Jenny.” She smiled before following Spike upstairs to his room. She smiled widely when she saw the huge canopy bed and she turned to smile at him.
“Now that’s what I cal a bed.” She grinned at him trailing her hands down his chest.
“I thought you were tired.” He grinned wolfishly guiding her back to the bed.
“Hmm not so much anymore.” She smiled.
“Well im sorry luv but im gunna go back downstairs to help my mum clean up. Tell you what if your still awake when I come back we’ll christen the bed.” he smiled giving her a quick kiss before turning back down stairs.

He found his mother in the kitchen washing the dishes and he came to stand next to her drying the dishes as she handed them to her. They didn’t speak as they worked and it wasn’t until they had finished that Jenny finally spoke.
“She’s young.” She said simply. There was no accusation in her tone it was just a simple fact.
“Yeah she is.” Spike sighed.
“Is she legal?” She asked turning to look at her son. He shook his head guiltily and looked down at his feet nervously. She sighed and just stepped forward to hug her son.
“So your hiding out here huh?” She asked already knowing the answer.
“Yes…only until her birthday then we’ll go back.”
“Spike…you know this is illegal…your not allowed to take a minor over state lines…what if her parents report her as kidnapped.” Jenny said worried for her son.
“They wont. Her mum kicked her out and Cordelia…Buffy’s friend told her that she was leaving for a bit and she didn’t say anything about the police.”
“Why did her mother kick her out!?” Jenny asked in shock. She absolutely doted on her boys and she hated letting them go when they both left for college never mind the thought of kicking one of them out.
“Yeah…that’s something else I have to tell you…”Spike said slowly.
Jenny waited for him to say but he seemed to have gone into his won little world again. She saw the worry etched on his face and his protectiveness of the little blonde earlier suddenly made a lot more sense.
“She’s pregnant.” She gasped.
His answering nod had him back in her arms and she closed her eyes trying to take in all the new information.
“How long are you staying?”
“Her birthday aint for about 8 months.” Spike mumbled.
“When is the baby due?”
“Urm…well …seven months around about.“ he said still not meeting his mothers eye. Jenny looked out of the window for a second trying to gather her thoughts before lifting Spike’s head so he looked her I the eye.
“Do you love her?”
“More than anything.” He said honestly.
Jenny smiled at him before lowering her hand.
“Me to.” She grinned.

When Spike finally made it back upstairs it was with a beaming smile on his face. He opened the door and smiled down when he saw Buffy fast asleep curled into his sheets. He stroked a finger down her cheek smiling when she whimpered in her sleep and turned into his touch. She was so beautiful it took his breath away sometimes. He quickly shed his clothes and slipped into bed pulling her into his arms so she was resting on his chest.
“Hmmm spike?” She mumbled sleepily lifting her head to look at him.
“Lo luv.” he smiled.
“You still wanna have sex? Cos if you do...try not to wake me.” She yawned.
“Don’t worry pet. Im good. Night luv.” he chuckled into her hair.
“Mmm Love you.”
“Love you too.”
