Unexpected Suprises

In case you are wondering, when I get to the spot where the kids are in it, all children are Giles’. Spike can only have children with the love of his life, and so will Angel when that time comes.


Three weeks later, the big day arrived. Giles was in the bedroom he shared with Buffy getting ready, nervous as hell. Xander and Oz were rolling their eyes at his nervousness.

“I know what you two are doing, and will laugh my ass off when this happens to you, which it will.”

That got each of them standing straight and shaking. Giles laughed at this, and continued to prepare himself for this big day.

Meanwhile, Buffy, Willow, Anya and Cordelia were in another part of the house readying Buffy for this day. Buffy noticed that Giles was nervous and through their bond saw Xander and Oz sharing a look and then their straight back demeanor. She then noticed Giles laughing and chuckled herself. Willow noticed this and knew she was seeing something she shouldn’t.

“Buffy, stop that, you know it’s bad luck to see the groom the day of the wedding.”

“I can’t help it Will, he is nervous and it’s making me all edgy. I am ready to get the show on the road, and he isn’t even prepared yet. I wonder when Angel is going to get here to walk me down the aisle like he promised.”

“Don’t worry Buffy, he will be here, it’s practically sundown now, so he should be arriving shortly with Wes and Doyle.”

“Thank you so much for being here on this day Cordelia. It means a lot to me.”

“Anytime Buffy. Now I am going to go out and see what is taking them so long.”

She left with that, and came back a few minutes later knocking on the door. Willow let her in, along with Angel, Wesley, Doyle and her father. She was surprised to see him here and rushed into his arms. Joyce was there as well, with a look of love and understanding on her face. Buffy knew that they had reconciled and were back together. Joyce moved to LA to be with Hank and Giles’ flat was currently empty until one of the couples in town here got married, then it would be theirs as a wedding present from both Buffy and Giles. She embraced her mother and father. Love ever apparent on her features. Dawn came barreling into the room then announcing that everyone was ready for them. Dawn was safe for all time now, and moved to LA with Joyce to be with her “mother” and “father”. It was Angel who spoke up then.

“Well, since your father is here, would you mind that he walked you down the aisle instead of me?”

“How about the both of you walk me?”

“We can do that, can’t we Angel?”

“Yes we can.”

They were ready and went to the back door of the house. Oz was waiting for Anya so they could walk down together. Xander was standing in as best man, so Anya walked down with Doyle. They all got in line and started the procession to the makeshift alter in the backyard. First were Willow and Oz, then Dawn and Spike, Anya and Doyle, Cordelia and Wesley, Joyce walked herself down and sat down when she got to her spot. The wedding march began, and Buffy was on the arms of both Angel and Hank. Giles beamed at seeing his lady love at her best. She reached him and gave her dad and Angel both a kiss on the cheek then walked up to Giles. The ceremony started.

“Before I start, who gives this woman to be married to this man?”

Angel and Hank pipped up.

“We do.”

“Then lets begin. We are gathered here today to join Elizabeth Anne Summers and Rupert William Giles in holy matrimony. The bonds of which can never be put asunder. If there is just cause why these two should not be wed, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.”

Everybody was silent at this.

“Ok, now Rupert, repeat after me...”

The priest went through all the necessary things and had Giles repeat them. Once finished the priest faced Buffy.

“Now Elizabeth, repeat after me...”

Buffy repeated each line with so much love in her eyes.

“It is time for the exchanging of the rings.”

Xander handed the rings to the priest and he blessed them before handing the respected ones to Buffy and Giles.

“Again, repeat after me. Elizabeth, with this ring, I thee wed.”

Giles repeated it and slipped the normal black hills gold band on her finger in front of her engagement ring.

“Now Elizabeth repeat after me. Rupert, with this ring I thee wed.”

Buffy repeated and slipped a gold band onto Giles’ finger. She beamed up at him. They then turned to the priest, and he said the final words.

“With these vows of love and declarations of forever after, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”

Giles lifted the veil, and kissed Buffy, amid cheers from the crowd. The priest then said.

“May I be the first to introduce you to Mr. And Mrs. Rupert William and Elizabeth Anne Giles.”

Buffy and Giles then walked back up the aisle hand in hand. Everybody else filed in behind them. People were instantly helping out to bring tables in and set up the reception area for them. They were all in the house in the living room getting hugs or pats on the backs for finally going through with the ceremony.

The priest left to make sure that everything got filed away at the courthouse when he got the signatures needed. Dawn ran in to let them know that the backyard was finally transformed for the reception. Buffy and Giles linked their arms together and walked out to the well wishers to the head table. Eli and Veronica showed up at that time, apologizing for not being there earlier. Veronica gave Buffy a big hug and congratulated her. They then went to a table and sat down. Everyone was seated when it was expected that the best man and maid of honor to do their speeches. Xander made a great speech about the couple, and since there was no maid of honor, Buffy couldn’t decide who to make one, Veronica stood up and made a heartfelt speech for her. Dinner was served, which was a success. It came time for the cake cutting and dessert. They made quite a mess with each other with the cake. And it was passed around to the tables.

After the meal, an area was cleared away for the dancing. Giles and Buffy shared their first dance to the song Amazed by Lonestar. It was then time for Hank to claim his father/daughter dance. They danced, and when it was done, they motioned for everyone else to join in. It was time for Angels dance with her, while Giles danced with Joyce. Angel held her the same way he did at prom. His eyes were only on her.

“You look beautiful tonight Buffy. I am proud of you.”

“Thank you Angel, you still look snazzy as ever in your tux.”

When this song ended, each person was passed around to a new partner for the better part of the evening. Giles found Buffy just standing off to the side watching the dancers, and had a sense of deja vu.

“You know it’s a crime for the bride to be standing off to the side of the dance floor?”

“It is? Well, want to rectify that?”

“It will be my pleasure.”

With that, they danced and danced. It was around 2 in the morning when everything started to wind down and people were leaving. Angel Inc. were the first to leave, with Joyce, Dawn and Hank. That left The Scooby Gang. Willow and Oz left next, along with Xander and Anya. The only ones left were Spike, Giles and Buffy. Spike excused himself to go to the basement where he made his new home and permanent address. Giles was still outside with Buffy. He stood up and took her hand. They walked towards the door, when Giles picked her up and carried her over the threshold into their new life as husband and wife.

“My god, you are going to spoil me, aren’t you?”

“That’s the intention.”

They walked up the stairs to their bedroom and made love all night long. They weren’t going to go on a honeymoon for quite some time. They weren’t ready to leave this house yet and go on vacation. Once they did go on their honeymoon, they were going to England to visit the council and let them know of their new status, and visit Giles’ family and let them know the good news. It was sometime in the night that Spike joined them for a romp, then left to get his sleep.

They were awakened to a glorious day. Giles and Buffy spent it driving around trying to find somewhere to be for the day. Giles had gotten rid of his clunker in exchange for a Chrysler Concorde. It was way roomier and more stylish. He also got Buffy a Chrysler LHS for her own personal use, since he did teach her how to drive the correct way.

They eventually boarded the PCH and headed up to Neptune. They knew they would be welcome with open arms up there, and drove to the police station. Giles got out of the car and assisted Buffy out, she did end up needing a lot of help lately, and they walked up the steps to door to the station. They walked in to still find Inga manning the reception desk. She gave Giles that look again, and Buffy had, had enough of it. She grabbed Inga by the lapels on her shirt and told her in uncertain terms that this man is her husband and if she looked at him funny again, she would kill her. Inga got the point then and left to get Keith. He walked out of his office and noticed who got Inga all flustered.

“Damn guys, I never knew that Inga could get that flustered. What did you guys say to her?”

“She was giving Giles lurid looks and I told her in no uncertain terms that he is my husband and if she were to look at him like that again, I would do bodily harm.”

“Must be the hormones with your pregnancy. It is a pleasure to see you guys here today. Mind going to lunch with me? Veronica will be here shortly with Eli, so, we could all go together?”

“Sounds like a marvelous plan.”

They all talked about general things until Veronica and Eli showed up surprised to see Buffy and Giles there the day after their wedding. They went to a diner and had lunch. Buffy and Veronica talking about girl stuff, while they guys talked about cars. It was then that Veronica showed Buffy her left hand, and Buffy squealed in delight to see that Veronica is now engaged. They then talked about wedding things and where to go to get high price stuff for a discount. Giles and Buffy then left after that to head back down to Sunnydale. Once they got back and back home, Buffy started to get some cramps, and associated it with just the excitement of the day. For some odd reason, Spike was at her side holding her up.

“You are in labor luv. You need to get to the hospital now.”

“How would you know that I am in labor?”

“I can still smell like a vampire. I am smelling the baby, it wants out, now.”

Spike yelled for Giles to get Buffy’s overnight bag. Giles knew what this meant, and instantly had it in his hands and flew down the stairs. They were back in the car when another contraction hit her.

“Oh god this is early. I am not suppose to have this child for another week.”

“Sometimes the first child is either early or late. Depends on the gender. Girls like to show up early, while boys like to arrive late. We will be at the hospital as soon as we can, just hold on.”

They arrived at the hospital in about fifteen minutes. Spike jumped out of the backseat with the overnight bag, while Giles helped Buffy out of the car. She knew she was allowed two people in the room with her while she was in labor, and the two people she wanted with her were already here. They took her to admitting and she was immediately put into a chair and wheeled to the maternity ward. They had her hooked up to a lot of machines in no time flat. They never wanted to know the sex of the child until it was born, so no ultrasounds were done. Buffy was experiencing another contraction and grabbed both Giles and Spike’s hands and crushed them when the pain arrived. After a few minutes, it subsided. Both Giles and Spike were glad that they were immortal and impervious to pain, or they would have had to have had casts on their hands after this. Buffy went through this for a good hour until the doctor came back in to check on her and let her know it was time to push. Giles and Spike stood up and braced themselves on either side of her for support. The doctor told her to go ahead and push, and a dark haired head crowned. She was told to push again, and very healthy baby girl came out. Giles cut the cord and they put the girl in the incubator to clean her up. Her doctor then told her she needed to push again. She complied and another sandy haired head crowned. She was told to push again, and then another very healthy baby girl emerged.

“Wow, never knew you were pregnant with twins. An extra name and more things to buy.”

“Shut up Spike. We will get things figured out when we get home.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Well, we will have to think of names for these two. Names that will stand the test of time for centuries.”

“Yes we will, won’t we? None of those newfangled names at all. I want good old fashioned ones for them.”

“I wouldn’t use those newfangled ones at all.”

“Oh, thank god.”

“I just found names suitable for them. The first one will be named Michaela Katherine, and her sister will be named Diana Colleen. What do you think?”

“Very strong. Excellent choice Buffy.”

She beamed at her husband with that. Spike just looked on in bewilderment. He now had more of a job to do than ever before to make sure these kids stayed alive. He knew about the immortal thing, and would risk his life to make sure these girls stayed alive to reach their 18th birthday. For some odd reason, he wished he was still a vampire, convince one of them to fall madly in love with him. Then he would have been set for life. This is just icing on the cake. Now he would have to figure out which one later on down the road that would fall in love with him. In that respect, he would be one up on Angel, he would be a part of the family. Little did he know how far from the truth that would be.

It was a few days before Buffy, Michaela and Diana were released from the hospital. Once that day came, they were excited about bringing their daughters home. Spike had to come with one of the others to help bring everything home, since he couldn’t ride with them at all. They were going to need a van or an SUV to accommodate them all now. Giles had in mind of getting two SUV’s, a Dodge Durango and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Extra space in the back, and an extra spot for Spike. They have come to think of him as a brother now instead of a pest or ex vampire. They didn’t know that The Powers had in mind for both Spike and Angel to become their son in laws.

A good week later, they had a brand new Grand Cherokee and Durango sitting in the drive by the house. Giles and Spike constructed a small shed behind the house several months ago to store Giles’ bike in when he wasn’t using it. A shed was also constructed for Spikes Desoto, if ever he felt like taking off for a spell to be by himself. As the weeks wore on, Buffy started to get restless in her patrolling and her school work. She was falling behind in her studies and Giles was worried about her. She wouldn’t let him in at all when he tried to use their bond to comfort her and see what was wrong. It was several more weeks later that Spike figured it out. He made sure that Willow was around to watch the girls for them, and he brought his car out of it’s garage and they took off. They went to the flat and the three of them walked in.

“It took me long enough to figure this out. Buffy here needs a good shag from the both us again to straighten her out. She is going through some sort of detox. Not good if you ask me, went through it myself when I stopped drinking human blood. Nasty. Care to get this over with pet?”

“Well, it has been a long time since the three of us have been together. Sure, why not?”

They went about making good slow love to her for the better part of the afternoon. Four hours later, she was finally sated, and feeling like herself again. She was ever so happy to have these two men in her life.

They drove back home and resumed their lifestyle only a few times out of each year for about 13 years. During these years, Buffy had two more children. Additions had to be added to the house to accommodate the two boys she now had. The oldest being Daniel Alexander, 8, and the youngest being William Eli, 5.
