Chapter 25 – Epilogue
Six Months Later
The Summers’ house was full of energy. You could walk anywhere in the house and you knew it was truly a home filled with love. Baby toys and stuffed animals were scattered around the house. The living room had the constant presence of a baby swing, which came in handy when Spike and Buffy needed some alone time.
“Spike! Have you seen the diaper bag anywhere?” Buffy yelled from upstairs as she searched about the baby’s room.
“Luv, did you try looking near your weapons bag?”
“Oh, yeah! Forgot I left it there when I switched them around for patrol last night.”
Buffy ran down the stairs and stopped to stare at the sight before her. Spike was lying on the couch with their son, clad in blue Baby Snoopy pajamas, and was sound asleep on his chest. Spike, in contrast, was dressed up for a nice casual night on the town. He wore a pair of black jeans, with a blue silk shirt. Buffy was glad to see he had taken care to place a towel between himself and the baby. She really did not want to deal with trying to get Spike to change into another shirt. After all, it was hard enough to get him to wear something other than black or red.
“Lil’ sprog is wiped out, Luv.”
“Ugh! Spike how many times do I have to ask you, please don’t call him sprog!” Buffy teased as she rolled her eyes.
Even though they both matured with their status as parents, Buffy and Spike still had not moved beyond the bantering. They were accustomed to the bantering, and in fact enjoyed teasing each other. For them it was a verbal sparring match.
Spike huffed, and then mumbled, “It’s better than calling him by his poncey given name!”
Buffy walked up to her mate. They played this game all the time, so she knew exactly what to do.
“Spike, out son’s name is not poncey. I happen to think that William is a fine name. Besides, you can’t call him Spike Jr.”
“Why not?”
Buffy turned red, but explained why.
“Because you call your manly bits Spike Jr.”
Spike enjoyed seeing his mate blush. She was far from being innocent, but he loved how she would react like one. She looked so beautiful, with her leather skirt and silk blouse. He only hoped that tonight would turn out as perfectly as he hoped it would.
Buffy noted that Spike had drifted off into la la land. He had been doing that quite a bit this week, and she was becoming concerned. Before she could bring it up the doorbell rang.
“Looks like your mum’s here luv.”
Spike carefully sat up on the couch, taking care to ensure William stayed asleep in his arms.
Buffy walked over to the door and opened it to find her Mom and Giles.
“Hey Mom! Giles? I wasn’t expecting you too?”
“Well, you’re mom stopped by the library this afternoon to see if I had some herbs for her headache. She mentioned that she was going to sit for you and Spike tonight, so I asked if I could join her. Now where is that little one so I can spoil him rotten?”
“Giles, you’re so funny. You know you can come over any time. After all, you are his grandfather in my eyes.”
Giles heart swelled with pride. In the past few months, little William had brought Giles closer to the young Slayer he thought of as his own daughter. Giles had finally begun to see that the Council’s treatment of Slayers was often unethical and unfair.
Giles saw little William in his daddy’s arms on the couch. Giles walked over and sat down next to Spike on the sofa, while Joyce greeted her daughter. Spike carefully placed the baby into Giles’ arms.
Fortunately, William decided to stay asleep.
“Luv, I hate to break up your chat with mum, but we need to get on the road if we want to get to dinner on time.”
“Ok. Ok. Head out to the car, I’ll be right there.”
“Be quick Goldilocks. You don’t want the Big Bad to come and get you.” Spike walked out the front door out and waited by the passenger door of the Desoto.
“Buffy honey, you better go. Spike’s waiting.”
Buffy leaned in and gave her mom a kiss on the cheek.
“Ok. Do not forget, William has bottles in the fridge. Wake him up in an hour and keep him up for a few hours or he won’t sleep through the night.”
“No problem honey. Go on; go have some fun on your night out!”
“Thanks again Mom, Giles.”
Buffy walked out of the house, closing the front door behind her. She made her way over to Spike, who was still standing seductively next to the car. He opened the door for her, and held her hand as she entered the classic car.
Spike ran around to the front of the car. He hoped that she had not sensed his nervousness at all. As he got in, he quickly started the car and turned up the radio.
Although Spike thought he was effectively covering his nerves, Buffy saw right through it. Turning up the radio was one of the “Spike Signs” that told her he had something on his mind but did not want her to figure it out. She figured she would let him sweat out whatever it was that was getting to him, because she would find out eventually.
Spike pulled the Desoto up to the valet stand in front of the restaurant. He handed the keys to his precious car to the valet, along with a healthy tip to ensure they would take care of his baby. He rounded the front of the car and opened the door for his mate.
Buffy stepped out of the car and placed her hand in Spike’s hand. She was so excited to find out that Spike had booked them reservations at the newest hit restaurant in Sunnydale.
“Welcome to Kristina’s. I assume you have reservations sir?”
“Yes. Two, under William”
“Ah yes, I remember. Come this way.”
The host led them through the restaurant to a private deck overlooking the ocean. It was decorated with red roses, and glowing candles.
The host slipped away from the private deck, closing the doors behind him. Leaving behind the perfect setting for what was about to occur against the sun setting on the Pacific Ocean.
Buffy was stunned into silence. She had never expected Spike to be this romantic, never in a million years. She turned around and looked into the loving eyes of her mate.
“So my love, this is what you have been preoccupied with all week.”
“No luv. This is.”
He dropped down to his knee and pulled a red velvet box from his pant pocket.
“Luv, I know we're mates in the demon world, and our love is forever. I want it to be recognized in the human world too. The world our son walks in, the world we also share in.”
Tears were falling down their faces as the emotion of the moment began to overwhelm them. Spike would not let his passion prevent him from completing his mission.
“Buffy, my love, my mate, will you be my wife?”
Buffy fell to the ground and threw her arms around her mate.
“Yes Spike, I’ll be yours. Forever.”
~~~~
“It’s so beautiful, don’t you think?”
“He deserves it Anyanka. I have waited so long to see this come full circle for him. In the end he got the girl and the love.”
“Dru you have such faith. Do you think we’ll ever find love like that?”
“I don’t know Anyanka, but I will tell this. I will do everything I can to make sure nothing comes between them. The Powers have big plans for them. Big Plans.”
Anyanka looked off into the sunset, and took Dru’s hand in hers.
“Whatever the Powers have planned, I’m not scared because I know I have you as my friend.”
Dru looked over at her friend, and then she turned to the look at the embracing couple. Smiling, she thought to herself, ‘It is so often a perfect pair never finds each other in this world. Fate saw it fit that these two did.’
The End!

One of those "Buffy has to have a baby to fulfill a prophecy or the world will end" type of fics. Ok, I KNOW it's been done before, but shut up, I like these kind of plots. How to make it slightly original...Oh! How about this. Giles discovers that once Acathla has been disturbed, the only way to prevent it from fully awakening and sucking the world into hell is by *gasp* having an impregnated and claimed slayer.
Must haves:
Can't just be ANY sperm impregnating the Slayer, oh no. Can't be anything less than quality Grade A Master Vampire sperm.
Angel is already Angelus, so just who is going to have to sacrifice himself as stud-for-hire?
Spike *duh* who hasn't reached the 'truce' mindset at this point and will most likely be a bit resentful.
Giles having to explain to Spike and Buffy (either together or separately) WHY it is so important that they go through with it while being completely appalled and shocked by the idea.
Joyce involved somehow and finding out Buffy is the Slayer before the Becoming timeline.
Not very angsty and a happy spuffy ending
Can haves:
Xander singing "Let's Do It For Our Country" from the Grease 2 movie/soundtrack
Either have the mystical pregnancy dissolve or carry it over, your choice.
