Long story short, the last comic ended with panel of Buffy seeing a positive pregnancy test.
Apparently (this has been confirmed by Scott Allie, the editor-dude at Dark Horse), Buffy got very drunk one night at a party (which we saw on-screen) and slept with...someone (we didn't see this). From everything I can tell (and I'm not reading the comics myself, so if someone needs to correct me, that's great), she blacked out and has no idea who the father is. Even if it was "consensual" the night before, she was apparently inhibited enough that she remembers nothing that happened.
This wouldn't be such a big deal except that this is a woman whose lover attempted to rape her in S6, who had flying-in-the-sky (literally) sex of questionable levels of consent with a former lover-turned-enemy (evil!Angel/Twilight, it's complicated) in S8, and is now PREGNANT in another case of questionable consent. Add all of those to Joss's track record as far as sex goes, and I feel like just being done with this guy.
