The first part is nothing that comes as a surprise. Former hit-man, bounty hunter, tough-guy loner, doesn't need anybody, doesn't want kids, wouldn't be able to fit kids in his lifestyle even if he did want them. Didn't want kids so much he got a 10-year nanobot shot. That's telling.
And just fucking look at him. He's smitten.
It's not that she thinks things would've worked so well if they didn't happen exactly like they did. She knows he wouldn't have been as interested in her if she'd been obviously pregnant when they met. And maybe if Julia, the chick he took so long to get over, hadn't died in front of him he'd have been harder to get upstairs with her.
But things did happen they way they did, and yeah, she'd have to say she does feel pretty lucky. Spike's one of the best people she's met, which is an impressive feat for a guy who used to kill people for a living, and he loves her.
And loves her baby. Despite everything. And even when she wakes them up every few hours at night.
"All right," she finally tells him, gently. "Shut up and kiss me again."
