Giles woke as the first rays of sunshine spilled into the room. At first, he tried to go back to sleep, believing he was having a wonderful dream. When he turned over to escape the light, he felt someone in bed with him. He grinned when he realized it hadn't been a dream and that Jessie was in his bed.

She was lying on her back, still asleep. His smile grew wider as an idea formed in his mind.

He slowly rand his hand across her stomach. She didn't move. Leaning over, he kissed her hip, then her stomach. She made a soft sound but didn't wake. He slipped his hand between her legs. "Jessie? Love? Time to wake up." He rubbed the palm of his hand against her and slipped a finger along her folds. She was wet.

When she still didn't wake, he carefully positioned himself at her entrance and leaned down and kissed her lips softly.

Jessie didn't want to wake up. She was having a wonderful dream. She sighed and arched her hips, welcoming the pleasure. When she felt a weight covering her body, she finally opened her eyes. Smiling she wrapped her arms around him, her hands going to the back of his head to kiss him deeply. "You're really here," she whispered.

"Good morning," he said, smiling. He slowly pushed into her. "We could wake up this way every morning if you'd like." He began moving at a slow pace as he kissed her again.

Jessie nodded and then concentrated on kissing him again and again. She loved the way he tasted, even in the morning. She loved everything about him. She broke a kiss and smiled, pressing her cheek against his. "I've got it so bad for you, Rupert. I love everything about you, but especially, feeling you inside like this."

Giles kissed her neck as he quickened his pace a little. "I love you, too, Jess." He lightly bit her neck before sucking on it. She moaned in response. "You're so responsive." He sucked on the spot more.

Jessie moved her hands down his back and onto his ass. She squeezed him and pressed herself upwards at the same time. "I'm yours. Only yours. I was made for you, Rupert. Can't you feel it? When you're inside me like this...I was born for you. Just you."

He looked up into her eyes. "I know. Every time we make love, the feeling gets stronger." He started thrusting deeper, knowing how much she liked it.

Jessie moved her legs up and around his waist. She lost herself in him. The bedroom filled with the sounds of their lovemaking: groans, skin against skin, the creaking of the bed, gasping, and then incoherent sounds as the pleasure built.

Giles enjoyed making love slowly, but it rarely stayed that way with Jessie. He gave in and began thrusting faster and harder until sweat pooled on his back. Even the slight breeze from the window did nothing to cool him. "Come with me, Love," he urged as his orgasm began. "I'm coming deep inside you. I want you to come with me, and I want to hear you scream when you do."

Jessie buried her face in his neck. When she felt him release inside her, she lost control and followed him over the edge. She screamed as she came, just as he'd hoped. "Yeeeesss! Oh Rupert! R-rupert..."

He gradually slowed his thrusts until he stopped, still inside her. "I love you," he whispered. "And I love hearing you scream my name."

"Rupert, Rupert, Rupert," she whispered in his ear. She held him close and kissed his cheek. "I love you, Rupert." She was going to tease him about that being the best wake up call she'd ever had, but she didn't want to spoil the tender moment.

He moved to snuggle up next to her. "I love you, Jessie." They rested in silence for a while.

"I'd like to invite everyone over for lunch so you can meet everyone and tell them the good news. Would you like that?"

"Well, Faith already knows, but I made her promise not to tell. Oh, and then I can ask her to be my Maid of Honor!" Jessie smiled. "I really love your family, Rupert. Buffy and Willow, and now Emma. Do you know how blessed you are to have them?"

Giles smiled. "They're your family now," he whispered. "How are you feeling this morning? Do you want some breakfast?"

Jessie leaned in and kissed him gently. "If it includes some of Emma's mint tea, then I'm in. I don't feel so bad anymore. Probably because I'm with you."

* * * * *

Breakfast had been wonderful and leisurely. After eating, Rupert had called everyone and invited them over for lunch. Jessie and Rupert then took the horses out for a nice ride so he could show her his land. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Jessie couldn't believe he lived in such a wonderful place.

Now they were in the kitchen getting lunch ready for everyone. Jessie was a little nervous. She hoped everyone was happy for them.

"Don't worry," Giles whispered. "They'll love you. I know they will." He kissed her forehead. "And how could they not love you?" he asked, rubbing her belly.

When he heard the knock on the door, he asked. "Do you want to get it, or may I? I am fully dressed this time."

Jessie chuckled and kissed the tip of his nose. "You get it, sweetie. I'm going to pour the lemonade and pace restlessly."

Giles opened the door to see Willow, Buffy and Dawn.

"So, what's the big?" Buffy asked. "You never ask us all over here. If something happens we meet at your office. Not that I mind, but this is weird."

"Is it so strange that I ask you over for lunch?" he asked.

"Well, kinda," Dawn answered. "Last time we were all here was Christmas."

Giles led them into the kitchen and then Willow got it. She grabbed Buffy's arm. "Look, it's Jessie! Jessie!" Willow ran over and hugged Jessie. Jessie, surprised, hugged her back. "Hey, yeah...I'm here."

Buffy noticed the ring on Jessie's finger. "So, is this where you officially announce that you're getting married? Is that why we're here?" Buffy asked.

Giles started to answer when there was another knock on the door. "That's likely to be Faith. Why don't you answer the door, Love?" he asked Jessie.

Jessie nodded and reached up to give Rupert a hug, but she also wanted to whisper in his ear. "You tell them all the baby news, okay? Once they're all here?" She knew he'd like that. She kissed his cheek and headed off to the door.

When she opened it, she grinned at Faith and lifted up her hand with the ring on it, waving it in the air. "Hi Sis!"

Faith gave Jessie a big hug.

When they parted, she gestured to the men standing behind her. "Jess, this is Robin and Xander. The tall, dark, and handsome one is Robin."

Robin grinned and took her hand. He bowed over it and then kissed the back of her hand. "I've heard a lot about you, Miss Jessie. Pleased to meet you."

Xander punched Robin's arm and picked up Jessie into a big bear hug. "That's Mrs. G-man, soon to be, by that rock on the finger!"

Giles rescued Jessie from Xander. "Everyone's waiting in the kitchen." He glared at Xander, but didn't comment on the nickname.

Once in the kitchen, he whispered to Jessie, "Are you sure about this, Love? You don't want to tell them?"

Jessie gave Faith a knowing look. She took Rupert's hand and squeezed it. "As you've probably guessed from the ring, Rupert and I got engaged. But...he also has some other news to tell you. Go ahead, honey. Tell them the good news." She knew it would mean more to them coming from Rupert.

Willow's eyes went big. "Oh, a wedding! Wait... What could be bigger news than a wedding?"

Giles stepped behind Jessie and put his hands over her stomach. "We're going to have a baby," he announced proudly.

For once, both Buffy and Dawn were speechless.

Xander was the first to break the silence. "Woah. A mini Giles."

Willow nodded, her mouth opened. "Just think of all those adorable little tweed suits we can buy!" A smile spread across her face.

Robin pulled Faith against him and kissed the top of her head.

Dawn ran over and hugged them both. "If you ever need a babysitter, I'll do it. For free even."

"Uh, Giles?" Buffy asked. "I didn't think you could have kids."

Jessie hugged Dawn. "I'll keep that in mind," she said with a smile. Then she looked up when Buffy spoke, blushing a little. Of course Buffy would know...

Xander snorted. "C'mon Buf. He's not that old. Besides, look at the Tony Randall guy? He had kids in his eighties."

Buffy glared at Xander. "That's not what I meant. I --"

Giles rescued her. "I know what you meant, Buffy." He addressed everyone. "I shouldn't have been able to father children because of a vasectomy I had several years ago. It appears that something has happened to reverse it. We don't know when or how, but we're happy for it."

"Well, I think it's great," Faith said. "You guys are gonna be great parents."

Jessie smiled nervously. She knew Rupert would be a wonderful father, but she wasn't so sure how she'd be as a mother. Raising horses was one thing, but a baby? Maybe more than one?

She had no regrets, but she was nervous.

"Thank you Faith. Also..." Jessie smiled and took Faith's hand, pulling her into a corner. "I was hoping you'd be my Maid of Honor?"

Faith looked nervous. "Do I have to wear a dress?" she asked. "I'd love to do it, but me and dresses just don't work."

Jessie grinned. "We'll work something out. Maybe we can just wear the same colors or something? Emma will help us figure it out." Jessie hugged her. "I'm a jeans girl myself you know, but something about Rupert makes me suddenly like dresses and skirts." Then she blushed brighter. "Uh, anyway...I'm so happy you said yes!"

Faith and Jessie walked back to the crowd of friends.
