Chapter 89
A village somewhere in Pylea
**************
They’d been chatting for over an hour. He’d given her plenty of opportunity to talk about it but she hadn’t mentioned it once. Maybe she didn’t know herself yet. There was no obvious bump under the robes she wore.
“So, when’s the baby due, Luv?” Spike asked.
“Oh!” Fred exclaimed, jumping up out of her chair.
She sat down again and cast furtive glances around her before answering.
“How did you know?” she whispered.
“Vampire intuition, Pet.”
She nodded as she considered the statement.
“In the new year,” she said, answering his original question.
“And that would be how long?”
Spike had no idea how the Pylean calendar worked. He could tell it was late summer - that much was obvious from the harvest - but as to when summer actually fell, he hadn’t a clue.
“Just over four months,” she added, “but you won’t tell anyone, will you?”
“Er… not sure I can make that promise, Luv.”
How could he not tell Wes? Course, likely as not, Angel would have already sensed it the same way he did. Maybe he’d already told Wesley.
Nah, Angel wouldn’t have a clue how to go about it.
“No one knows except Lorne. It was a mistake. It wasn’t meant to happen…”
Yeah! Spike wondered just how many woman had said that very same thing over the centuries.
Fuck! Don’t say Lorne had started dipping his wick in the honey pot…
“… and I didn’t find out until after… after he was gone.”
Not Lorne then. Thank God for that.
“He didn’t even know…”
But, if not Lorne, then who? Who was gone? What was she on about?
“Who, Luv? Who’s the father?”
***************
“You told Groo to make sure I got to a place of safety,” Lorne was saying.
“I’ll take your word for it,” Angel replied.
“The other you,” Lorne clarified. “He sent Groo to keep an eye on me when I went to… take care of Lindsey. When the ground began to tremble I thought we were done for but then Groo had an idea: open a portal and come here. Of course, I wasn’t sure here was any more than marginally better than the alternative but marginal was something…”
“The Groosalugg opened a portal to this world?” Angel asked.
“Apparently,” Lorne said.
Angel was more than a little surprised. He didn’t know anyone other than Wesley and Fred had figured out how to do that, not on their side anyway, although hadn’t Wesley said the priests here held the secret?
“Funny thing was though, we seemed to lose - or, do I mean gain? - eight years in the process. I couldn’t believe it, at first. Thought I’d hit my head in the fight with the Drokken…”
“The Oracles,” Angel muttered to himself. It had to be their intervention which was responsible.
“Huh?”
“Time travel. Better ask Wes to explain,” Angel said. “I’m a bit hazy on the details.”
Lorne shrugged.
“You were in a fight with a Drokken?” Angel asked, only just registering what Lorne had said. “How did you…?”
“No, not me, Angelcakes. Groo. He saved me. He was magnificent. It was a sight that’d make any girl’s heart flutter, I can tell you. You should have seen him in action… Course, Belnar’s men did see him. They brought us here… to make Groo their champion, and me their hostage.”
******************
“They can’t know about this,” Fred pleaded.
“Don’t panic, Luv,” Spike said, slipping into the seat beside her and taking her left hand in his.
She was trembling. He squeezed her hand gently and wrapped his other arm around her shoulders.
“I’m on your side,” he added, giving her a hug.
He smiled at her and she began to relax.
“They’d never let me go if they knew…” Fred continued.
“Don’t worry, Pet. I’m not telling ’em.”
He was struggling to see the problem but if she wanted to keep her pregnancy secret that was her choice.
A sudden thought struck him.
“You’re not planning to get rid of it, are you, Luv? You know, when we get back to LA…”
Wouldn’t bother him none but somehow he couldn’t see Angel going along with it and he had absolutely no idea how Wes was gonna react.
“Oh, no, of course not! How could you even think such a thing?”
Okay, not that then.
“It’s your baby, Luv, and you said yourself the father’s no longer around to support you. I can’t see why they’d object… No offence, Pet, but another couple of months and you’re not gonna be in a position to pull your weight around here. I’d have thought they’d be relieved… one less mouth to feed, an’ all…”
“Yes, I’m sure that’d be the case in normal circumstances…” Fred began.
She hesitated, obviously reflecting on Spike’s words. Maybe she’d never looked at it that way before.
Normal? Hah! Couldn’t say there was much normal about any of this…
“… but this isn’t just any baby,” she added.
