Disclaimer: The charas are not mine. The 'legend' is based around YYH but this in not a crossover, it's more like a guest appearence.

Pairing: Spike/Xander

Summary: I've read a lot of GW and YYH stories where a male chara is pregnant, but only 2 fics where Xander and Spike have a baby. One is a tear jerker and the other is fluff, so I wanted to write a happy ending, Xander-gets-knocked-up fic and here it is.

Archive: Sure, but I'd appreciate it if you'd link to my site, and tell me where your site is.

All In The Blood

Raihne

Prequel

"No! no no nonononono, this can't be happening now!"

   The small apartment was filled with clattering and banging as Xander Harris, scooby gang member, zeppo, and none college, working class guy, panicked.

   "Of all the times for it to happen it had to be now! Shit! I can't go home, if my dad. . . but there's no one else. . . oh Inari! Spike! He'll know! Damn it!"

   He slid to sit on the floor of the apartment, all of the anger gone from him leaving him tired but in control again. "What the Hell am I going to do?"

   *ring ring*

   "Hello, Xander's house of shame. . . oh hi Wills." He stood and began picking up the mess he'd made while he listened to his oldest friend. Then promtly dropped the phone and fought down another panic. "Oh man! Sorry Willow, the phone slipped. uh, There's a scooby meeting? Tonight?"

    "Xander! Come on, focus for me. We need you to come to the scooby meeting. Yes it's tonight. Giles says there's a whole group of baddies in town now. We need you."

   "But I'm human boy Wills, no powers or anything, and I have work and. . ."

   "Xander please?"

   "But . . ."

   "Please."

   He cracked. No one could stand up against a weepy Willow. Oh that was a bad joke "Ok, ok, I'm going to be at the meeting. Promise. Wait, will Spike be there?"

   "Giles knows all about these demons. We didn't need to ask him so I don't think he even knows."

   He let out a sigh of relief, "Ok Wills I'll see you later then."

   "Bye."

   Hanging up the phone the boy set to straightening the room again. As long as Spike wasn't there he'd be fine. No one else would smell anything different. He showered and dressed then rushed out into the dusky Sunnydale evening. Praying that no day time dwelling demons picked up his scent.

   Why did it have to start now?!

Part One

Spike sniffed the air testily. Something was off in the room. The slayer and her pets were meeting at Giles' apartment as usual and he had come for blood only to stay when the scent caught his senses. It was a powerful scent, but a good one, like a woman on her menstrual cycle. Only from what he could tell, it was coming from the whelp.

   What did he get into? Could 'ave 'ad a wank before 'e came and 'ave a cut some'ere. But it's not exactly like that, smells. . . bloody hell what IS it?!

   "So what is it we need to know about these creepys?" Buffy grinned and sharpened a stake for the new 'Baddie' in town.

   "They are Galf'itish Buffy. A pack of them, and from what I can tell, they're hunting for something."

   "Yeah? So we let 'em have it and they go bye bye?"

   "Well it isn't quite so simple, you see, they're after another demon. One we know very little about."

   "Well what do we know about them?" Willow asked from the loveseat.

   The watcher wiped at his glasses nervously and Spike inched to stand behind the couch Xander was resting on. He wanted to hear this, and he liked the boy's scent.

   "There's an old legend in Japanese mythology about a race called Youko. Fox demons who control one element be it rock, plant, or flesh."

   "Yeah, I've seen 'em in a anime." Xander nodded, "So what?"

   "In this particular legend, two male demons, one a very strong Youko theif called Kurama, the other an equally powerful prince of Koorime and fire demon decent, met and loved and bore a child. The child was raised in the demon's world but because his parents had conceived him in the human world he went back to see it for himself. While he was there he fell in love with a human girl and married her, but she wasn't really human at all. She was a banished Chimera who had taken human guise. A very evil Chimera in fact and their son was raised by her to be a mean and spiteful man. He vanished shortly after coming of age and hasn't been seen since, but it's said that he had a child. The child would be a perfect way to bend Makai to the Galf'itish's rule. You see, Hiei and Kurama still rule the demon world, along with their friend and team mate Yuusuke. If the Galf'itish had their great grand child. . ."

   Buffy stood up, "Hold it! Great grand child? What kind of a threat could these two be if they're that old? Why don't the Galf'itsh just fight them?"

   "Makai demons age differently." Xander said it quietly but they all turned to him in shock.

   "Xander how did you. . ."

   "Anime." He grinned, "I'm right aren't I? Kurama was like 700 when he met Hiei and he still looked like a teenager."

   "Xander we don't have time. . ."

   "Actually, he's right." Giles cleared his throat. "Hiei and Kurama are both well over 1000 years old now and they are still in their adolesence."

   "That's sad."

   Again all eyes turned to Xander in shock and he shrugged, "Who would want to outlive their own kids?"

   "How did you know the son died?"

   "It's obvious, if he hadn't would he have let that bitch raise the baby?"

   Giles gave him an odd look and nodded, "Actually Xander is right again."

   Buffy snickered, "Twice in one night! Careful Xan, you feeling dizzy? Need to lie down?"

   Spike frowned when Xander sunk into the couch and tried to become invisible. Why did the bint DO that to him?! Didn't she realise how insecure he was?

   An hour later Xander stood, "I'm heading back to the apartment ok?"

   Giles waved at him distractedly and Spike stood to follow.

   Once they were outside Xander froze, "Spike why are you following me?"

   "Feel like some action pet. Waiting for a demon to try for you so I can pound it."

   "You don't have to protect me Spike."

   "What?!" He went game face and was acutely miffed when Xander just walked by him. "What makes you think I'd protect a piece o' shit like you?!"

   Xander waited until Spike was next to him and then began to speak, "You always hang around me saying you want to pound a demon and I'm the bait, but you never take me toward demon infested places, you just follow where I'm going. I might not be a slayer but give me a little credit."

   "Maybe I'm just letting you walk into trouble, you do that enough."

   "But you always make sure I'm safe."

   "Not bloody likely!"

   "I see the way you check me after you've beaten the bad guys."

   "You got a lot of cheek if you think. . ."

   "Thank you."

   Spike stopped his rant and stared at Xander like he was a pod person. . . ,i>although in SunnyHell . . . ok, maybe like an Elvis impersonator, never seen one of 'them' here, and they're scarier than pod people.

   "For what?"

   "For caring." Xander shrugged. "To the rest of the gang I'm kinda invisible, even with Anya I was just an 'orgasm friend.' It's nice to know somebody cares. I mean 'really' cares about what happens to me."

   Spike was speechless for a while but finally he lowered his eyes, "Ain't gonna tell anyone are ya?"

   The boy shook his head. "None of their buisness is it."

   That made Spike grin.

   "Can I tell you a secret?"

   "Wha's that pet?"

   "I care what happens to you too."

   "Did we just have a caring conversation?"

   "Don't panic, but I think we did."

   "Friendly even?"

   "Possible."

   Spike smiled, "Just makin' sure luv."

   Xander smiled and took Spike's hand, waiting for him to jerk away. He didn't.

   When they reached Xander's house he turned to Spike and smiled, "Wanna come in? We could have a sleep over."

   Spike cocked his head and smiled, "'aven't 'ad a real sleep over since I was human."

   "NO!" Xander dragged Spike up the stairs, "No way I'm letting you go now. Sleep over it is! Complete with popcorn, movies, and secret telling!"

   "You know once you invite me in I might not want to leave again." He warned softly.

   The slayerette blinked at him and smiled, "I might not want you to."

   Spike grinned and nodded. He hadn't had a real friend in over a hundred years, and he did like the human. He was nummy, with a dark sense of humor, and was very smart even though he played dumb at times. And he was sexy as Hell and getting more so every day! He would make a perfect childe if Spike ever got the flamin' chip out. But I ain't doin' ta him what Angelus did ta me. I'll ask 'im first.

   "Spike?" Xander waved a hand in front of the vampire's face, "You in there?"

   "Just thinking."

   "You hurt yourself?"

   "Ha bloody ha."

   Xander giggled at that and put the popcorn in before sitting next to Spike. "So what were you thinking?"

   "That you're a sexy whelp."

   He gasped as the vampire touched their lips together slightly, but it felt so good!

   "That you'd make a perfect childe."

   Xander paled and jerked away from him so quickly he almost fell off of the couch. The boy wasn't just frightened, the thought terrified him. Well there went that idea.

   "Pet? Pet. Xander. I'd ask first. Never turn you if you didn't want it."

   That seemed to snap the boy out of it and he smiled, "Really?"

   The vampire groaned, "Keep this up and I won't be able to stay big and bad."

   "Then don't. This can be your free zone. You know?" Xander grinned, "You can just be William here."

   "You're one strange human."

   "I try."

   "You really mean what you said?"

   "'Course! I. . ."

   Their heart to heart was interupted by the crashing of the apartment door. Ten large, armored demons rushed in and charged.

   "Shit!"

   Spike looked them over quickly, "They're Galf'itish. Must'a followed us from the watchers pad."

   Xander grabbed Spike and pulled him toward the window.

   "What'r you doin'?!"

   "These are just the first wave, come on! We gotta leave now!" The youth pulled the vampire out the window and tumbled down the roof to the ground. "Damn it!"

   Spike watched Xander yank the bone of his leg into place and stand again. "Shit whelp! You possessed again?!"

   "I'm me. Come on, they're coming!"

   "Why are we running? We c'n take 'em."

   The boy pulled them both inside a group of trees and began posting wards around it before settling down in the center. "They'll have to go back to their power supply in a couple hours, and they're too dumb to take shifts, we'll go home and ward it when they leave."

   "Ok! That's it! Who are you and where's my pet?!"

   Xander blushed when Spike called him 'his' and looked up at the blond carefully. "When you lived with me, how much did you learn about my home life?"

   "Your mom's a bitch, yer dad's a drunk. 'e likes ta hit you, but what's that got to do with. . .?"

   "Remember Giles story?"

   "Uh. . . Yeah."

   "Spike, this is really important ok?"

   "Sure pet."

   "No. You have to swear, on your unlife, that you won't tell anyone."

   Now the vamp was curious. "'K I swear. What's the deal?"

   Xander closed his eyes, "My dad is a demon."

   Spike froze, "Come again?"

   "My dad is the grandchild of Kurama and Hiei. I. . . I'm what the Galf'itish are after."

   The blond stood and rolled his eyes before turnning away, "Sure. Funny. Can we go now?"

   "Spike. Catch."

   That stopped him. The voice was different. A lower pitch but higher frequency, with an echo in it. He turned toward the boy and his eyes went wide, "Oh Shit." He grabbed up the tiny piercing Xander'd thrown at him. It was obviously an anchor for a glamour. A site spell. A magical hologram that the boy had been using to hide his true apearence.

   "Don't get all wiggy on me! Come on Spike I need you to listen to me ok?"

   The blond nodded, wide eyes raking over the nude fox demon before him. Xander's skin had become pale and soft looking. His hair lengthened and lightened in the front in a starburst pattern. Body grew taller, less bulky muscle and more flowing structure, perfect for running or jumping. Two sliver ears tipped in black grew from the wild hair and he blushed slightly and looked down at his hands. They were larger, slimmer now, with claws in place of nails. To top it all off a long, bushy fox tail curled from the small of his back, over his hip and discreatly covered his bits.

   "Spike."

   He shook his head clear and looked up. Damn! Kid had bigger fangs than he did! A whole mouth full! and what was. . . he rubbed his eyes and looked again. He did! He had another eye on his forehead! It was closed but the slit it would open from ran vertical instead of diagonal. "What are you?!"

   Huge, Golden eyes with chocolate flecks looked up at him. I'm a Youko/Chimera/Human breed."

   "And Xander?"

   "I AM Xander! I just don't look like you guys think I do! It was an illusion. A glamour."

   "This whole time."

   "I couldn't risk telling the slayer. I don't want to be used against my Grandfathers. I don't even KNOW them! I really grew up on the Hellmouth, got bad grades in school and beat up by my parents. I'm still me. I told you because you were most likely to understand."

   "Is that all?" Spike sat in front of the Youko and waited.

   "Baby steps here Spike ok? I've just told you a whole lot of secrets and I'm exhausted. We can talk about how hot you are later."

   Spike grinned. "I'm hot am I?"

   Xander didn't answer, he'd curled up like a fox cub and gone to sleep.

   The vampire stood quietly and took off his duster, spreading it over the naked man before pulling the boy to rest his head on his lap. Spike ran his fingers soothingly through the silky mane and leaned back against a tree. "What the Hell have I gotten into?"

   Ok, let's recount the facts. Always thought the kid was a nummy treat. He's got a great sense of humor, can't be kicked down for very long, he's loyal to a fault, and he would rather kill himself than hurt any of his friends including me. I was going to seduce him as a human, do I still want to? Hell yeah! Wanted to make him my consort and later my child, still want to? Yeah. Still do. Is he still Xander? Yeah. Looks different. Looks hot as all Hell! Damn it he's fuckin' beautiful! So what do you do when the guy you've been lusting over for years is suddenly sleeping naked in your lap in a secluded grove he's rigged so no one can get inside? . . . Oh yeah. I can do the math!

   But wait a mo, Don' wanna hurt him or scare 'im off now do I. Just because he looks like a debaunched angel doesn't mean he IS one. He trusted me. No one ever trusted me before. . . I guess I can wait then, give 'im time. Fine, I'll take it slow then. I can do slow.

   Xander's arm crept up to pillow his head and his hand rested limply against Spike's crotch.

   "Oh bloody 'ell."

   "You're hard."
`
   "Xander! You're awake?! Shit!"

   "Don't be shy baby. I want to help you."

   Spike blinked owlishly, "Help me?"

   "Mmm. I want to," He licked the denim over the vampire's weeping cock and grinned, "Kiss and make it better."

   "Aaaaaaa Fuck! Xan!"

   "Calm down baby, we have all the time in the world." He crept up Spike's body until the brit was on his back, Xander pressing him down into the grass, nipping at his neck and collar bone. "Where does it hurt baby? What needs a kiss?"

   "Shit!"

   "Sorry, not into that." Xander grinned and Spike found himself chuckling as he covered his eyes with one arm.

   "You're some piece o' work nummy." He chuckled, "Some piece."

   "I try. " The fox grinned and wriggled around a bit on Spikes lap. "Ooh! Someone wants to play!"

   "Holy fuck!"

   "It sure will be baby. Black mass style." Slim fingers freed the vampire's straining need and Xander licked his finger before tracing the head of the huge length. "I want you in me. All of you. Fucking my tight ass. Can you do that for me baby?"

   "Hell yeah!" Spike flipped them over and tackled the fox, devouring his mouth in a needful fury as he buried himself to the hilt in the burning hole. So tight! So hot! Xander sqeezed him like no one had ever. . . a tightening of the flesh around him stole all thought, "SHIT! You did that on purpose!"

   Xander grinned and raised his hips, pumping in time with Spike. "Mmm. Baby you're so big! So hard. Deeper lover. Fuck me faster."

   Spike gave a harsh scream as he came so hard light flashed before him and suddenly darkness took him into it's veil.

   Xander groaned as he slipped back into consciousness. He noticed two things simultaneously and felt threads of apprehension bind his insides painfully. One, he was in his true form without the glamour to hide it and Two, Spike was laying on top of him smelling of sex.

   SEX?! FUCK!

   He jumped slightly and Spike slowly opened his eyes. "Xan." He smiled and kissed his neck sleepily.

   "Spike?! Spike! Wake up!"

   "Wha?" the vampire flew to his feet and shot his gaze around the clearing, "Wha's wrong?!"
   
   "Spike, listen to me. It's a few hour till dawn, were you here all night?"

   "Yeah. Worn out I was." He grinned.

   "Shit."

   The grin fled when he saw how upset Xander looked. "Huh? Xan, what's wrong? Did I do something to upset you? Did I hurt you? Oi, I didn't hurt you did I?"

   "N. . . no. I've wanted to do that for a long time but. . . Spike how much do you know about Youko?"

   "Fox demons, theives mainly. Pack demons. Bad reputations but they mate for life . . . Is that what's bothering you? You don't want to be mated to me."

   "No! I do! I mean, I'm glad that we. . . uh.  . . did it." He blushed, "Made love I mean but. . . we did make love right? You weren't just fucking me were you?"

   "No! Told you I liked you before I even knew you weren't human didn't I?"

   "Yeah but. . ."

   "No but. I'm your mate. I like that. But I'm claiming you too."

   Xander smiled, "I'd like that."

   "Now that 'at's settled what 'as you so tense?"

   "There are no pure blood female Youko Spike, there are two clans is all. The one clan is the plant wealders, the life givers, the other are earth manipulators, protectors."

   "Yeah I remember Angelus saying something like that."

   "I'm a Life giver."

   "So you do plant magic."

   "Uhuh."

   "So what's the problem?"

   "Life givers are the birthers."

   "B. . . uh. . . pet what are . . ."

   "Remember what Giles said? Kurama and Hiei, two MALE demons had a baby. Kurama was a plant wielder. A birther. Like I am."

   "You're sayin'. . ."

   "I was in heat Spike."

   "That was that smell!" Spike paused and looked up in denied comprehension, "Wha'd ya mean 'was'."

   Xander bit his lip and forced himself not to panic. "It ends after half a year, or when the egg is fertilized."

   "'as it been 'alf a year?"

   Xander shook his head.

   "And I was the only. . ."

   He nodded.

   "Bloody 'ell."
