You had me fooled with your sarcastic "it fixes everything that’s wrong in their relationship" summary. Naughty. (I was hoping you were kidding.) This is so wonderfully bleak. It brings a whole new level to "Buffy's knocked up" stories.
Nice bit with Spike being angry that Buffy might've stepped out on him, while still feeling all the shame, guilt, and unworthiness. The shock of hearing he might be responsible for a demon child, causing him to go to ground for days, was a nice twist on the S7 craziness. I'm very excited about how Buffy's pregnancy seems to be paralleling Darla's. Those souled vampires seem to be echoing each other in the most interesting way.
“We’ll probably have to kill it, anyway!” she called after him, then wondered why that seemed like the better option

I like your sense of humor!
