Why this must be read:
A quick test and a physical exam confirmed the worst-case scenario, and explained weeks of fatigue and dizziness that she'd just attributed to the most recent string of nasty events in her life. That is, until the nasty events had gone out with a bang and the symptoms remained. One encounter, pushed to the back of her mind after Tara's death and everything that followed it, had set a reminder notice, delivery scheduled for mid-December.
The Buffy-gets-pregnant and has big-woobie-love with Angel trope is...not uncommon. The Buffy-gets-pregnant-by-Wesley and still leads her life storyline--didn't exist before Minim took it on. Buffy/Wes is a pairing that randomly got a lot of love sometime last year, and now isn't quite as unconventional as it used to be.
Minim's Buffy is strong and intelligent, with an internal voice that is a bit more mature than the one we saw on the screen; her Wesley is someone who doesn't realize redemption is slapping him in the face until there's a handprint. Don't let the prospect of babyfic dissuade you from reading this. Part of the point is to take a fandom cliche and turn it on its head.
