Wesley attempted to help Lilah into the car until she arched her brow and gave him a glare. He smiled to himself and realized how much he had missed that look. He got into the drivers side, and began to exit his apartment's parking lot.
"Where are we going?" Lilah questioned. She knew this wasn't the way to the hotel.
"I figured we should check on the baby before we go and tell everyone about it. There is a clinic I know can help us without asking too many questions." Wesley shrugged.
"You mean make sure it's a baby not an alien in me."
"Well it wouldn't exactly be the first time someone I knew became pregnant with an alien."
"Whatever Wes. Let's just get this over with so we can go to the hotel and get some questions answered." Lilah seemed to refuse to look into Wesley's eyes. He knew she was more worried about the baby then she wanted to admit. She was the same old Lilah. After driving for ten minutes in silence they pulled up to a small clinic. This time Lilah let him at least open the car door for her. When they walked in Wesley walked up to the receptionist.
"Could you please tell Dr. Monroe Wesley Wyndam-Pryce is here?" The young receptionist gave him an odd look; not seeing Lilah standing behind him.
"I can but you do know this is a women's clinic right?" Wesley shook his head, and started to point to Lilah when a worried voice came behind them.
"Lilah is everything okay? Are you having cramps again?" Dr. Monroe put her hand on Lilah's shoulder who was to stunned to pull away.
"You know who I am?" Lilah gave Wesley an annoyed look. "You can step in here Wes. You know this woman who clearly knows what the hell is going on." The doctor shook her head and pointed towards her office.
"Please come in my office so we can talk about this; away from my normal patients." Wesley and Lilah walked with Dr. Monroe into her office, and they took seats in front of her desk. Wesley was starting to get used to awkward pauses.
"Dr. Monroe you remember when your patients became infected with third eyes? Remember how you told me you would believe anything after that?" Wesley asked.
"Of course Wesley. But I'm very confused why you two are here. Is everything ok with the baby?"
"You see that's where we are confused. You have been seeing Lilah throughout her pregnancy?"
"For about 3 months; that's how far along Lilah is. You two don't remember coming here to find out Lilah was pregnant? You don't remember the first sonogram?"
Lilah and Wesley shook their heads. After another awkward pause Lilah spoke up.
"Were we- were we happy?" She asked. The doctor smiled.
"More terrified I would say in the first few moments, but when you left my office that day you left hand in hand."
"Could you give us a moment Doctor?" Dr. Monroe nodded and they both let out loud sighs after she was out the door.
"This is more insane then I thought. You haven't just been randomly placed here on earth again. It's like you never died." Wesley whispered.
"I wonder what else changed. Or didn't change." Wesley nodded when he realized Lilah was right. If she hadn't died then what else hadn't happened? Maybe Cordy was alive! At that moment the doctor walked back into the room.
"I have another patient in about twenty minds, but if you two want I could do a quick sonogram. Would you like that Lilah?" Wesley looked to Lilah who shrugged. He took that as a yes,
"We would love to see the baby." Wesley waited for the objection from Lilah, but she still seemed dazed. Admittedly he was amazed he himself was able to keep it together. They followed the doctor to the examination chair, and Lilah quietly laid back.
"The gel will feel a little cold okay Lilah?" Lilah only nodded. The doctor moved the wand over Lilah's belly as a rhythmic beat filled the air. "There is your beautiful baby." Wesley had been holding Lilah's hand, but when he looked down at her he realized she wasn't looking at the baby.
"Lilah you should look. You can really the baby's little face!"
"Like I said Wes there is no use getting attached to something you can't have. This baby isn't real. I'm not alive!" Wesley could have sworn he saw tears in her eyes. He decided he needed to be the gentle boyfriend Lilah didn't want, but who she needed.
"Lilah, I love you. I have always loved you. I love you and our baby." He put his forehead to hers, and breathed in the smell of her hair. He felt her pull away, and he braced himself for another heated response. He was surprised when he saw her turn her head toward the monitor. He could have sworn he saw her smile. The doctor gave them a few minutes to marvel at the baby, and then reminded them her patient was probably waiting. Wesley helped Lilah out of the chair, and this time she let him help her. They walked out to the car, and he opened the door for her. He figured he was pushing it with that alone.
"Where to next, Lover?" Lilah sighed. They both let out a soft laugh at her pet name for him.
"The Hyperion Hotel I guess. We have to face them eventually."
