Okay I know everyone is anxious for Buffy to enter the story, but it's not quite at that point yet. I felt that these chapters were necessary in order for later parts in the story to make sense. I promise you that Buffy will enter soon. Hopefully by the seventh chapter, but it may take a little longer. Well I hope you guys like this part. Thanks to everyone who has read and reviewed it really helps me to get those. As always please keep reading and reviewing. Thanks.

Chapter 5

William stood grinning at the end of the aisle. Finally the music began to play that signaled the bride was coming. William sucked in his breath as his beauty made her appearance. He smiled at his best friend who was walking his love down the isle. Finally she was there and William could hardly contain his joy at the prospect of spending the rest of his life with his love. He nearly shouted out I do when it came time for him to proclaim his love for her. Finally he was able to life the veil and kiss her.

On the limo ride to the airport William remembered when he nearly thought they wouldn't be together. He remembered how after the prom he and Dru had begun to sneak around behind Angelus' back. William chuckled a little at the memory of Angelus when he discovered them making out in his car. The result had been William being kicked out and Dru being grounded. He chuckled even more at the memory of fiery Dru screaming in her brother's face when she screamed that she was 18 damn years old and she would do what she pleased. William had quickly procured an apartment that Dru moved into with him. It had taken nearly a year before Angelus would speak to him again. Dru snuggled up against her now husband. "What's so funny?," she asked. William kissed her quickly on the lips. "Nothing love I'm just so happy to have you," William breathed as he brought her into another kiss.

One Year Later…

Drusilla began to run around the kitchen readying everything. She wanted tonight to be perfect. Tonight was the night of their one year anniversary. She had the top of their wedding cake defrosting and was now putting the finishing touches on their dinner. Dru was even more excited to give William the exciting news. Dru finished setting the table then glanced at the clock. Only 15 minutes until he would be home from work. William had bounced around from job to job until he got into the real estate business. The couple was quite happy with the success he had shown. Drusilla had just finished college and was starting her first year as a TA in a first grade classroom. However, with the news she knew she would have to put that on hold.

William walked in the door smiling as he smelled the aroma of dinner. He quickly snuck into the kitchen to present her with her bouquet of white belladonna lilies. "You look gorgeous love," William said as he sat the bouquet down and pulled her into a sweet tantalizing kiss. Drusilla smiled widely then gestured toward the table. "I made dinner," she said as she went to sit down. However, William had other plans. "It looks and smells wonderful darling, but…" he said as he began to kiss her up her neck towards her lips. Drusilla obliged him only a moment before pulling away. "I worked really hard on this William," she said as she sat down. William smiled at her then sat down and enjoyed dinner with his wife.

Once the couple had finished dinner Dru brought out the cake. The couple sat together feeding each other cake from their wedding. "William I have something I need to tell you," Dru said as she sat her fork down. William sat his own fork down then looked up at his wife. "What is it love?," he asked frowning in concern. Dru could hardly contain her excitement, "I'm pregnant." William stood lifting Dru with him. He splayed his hand across her abdomen. "Your pregnant?," he asked breathlessly. Drusilla smiled then shook her head. William could hardly contain his excitement as he lifted his wife and carried her into their bedroom.

William rushed into the hospital corridor. He was so panicked he ran right into Angelus. "Where is she? Is she alright?," William blurted out quickly. Angelus looked down at his hands then looked up at William. "She's in recovery, but she lost the baby," Angelus choked out. William was sad that she lost the baby, but was more relieved that his wife was alright. "Can I see her?," William asked. Angelus shook his head yes then sat down in one of the seats. William rushed into his wife's room and paled at seeing her. She was so white, whiter then usual. She was asleep now, but evidence of the tears she had been crying broke his heart. William sat beside the bed and just held and kissed her. He was just glad that she was alright.

Nearly two years later and Drusilla was going into her third trimester. After the miscarriage she had suffered Dru had been in a serious bought of depression. William had to take off work to take care of her. Finally she brought herself out of it and now they were expecting a healthy baby boy. William lay next to his slumbering wife lazily tracing circles upon her expanding abdomen. He had been apprehensive when she had first told him she was pregnant six months ago. He had never wanted to see his love suffer depression again. However, he had put on the smiles and pretended to be happy until she got out of the woods. Now William was ecstatic that she would having their child.

William felt a familiar sense of dread as he made his way frantically through the hospital. She was only seven and a half months pregnant. It was too early for her to be giving birth yet. When he had gotten the call from his brother-in-law and best friend he had dropped everything and rushed to the hospital. He was in the middle of selling a million dollar house, but his wife and child came first. He made his way to the nurses station and frantically asked where his wife was. Finally he was dressed in scrubs and ready to go in. As soon as Dru saw him she reached out for him. "I'm here darling," he said as he kissed her sweaty forehead.

William became worried when the doctor pulled him into the hallway. "Mr. Wright we haven't told your wife yet, but the fetus has no heart beat. We were unable to perform an emergency c-section because your wife would have gone into shock. Unfortunately your wife will have to give birth to the fetus," the doctor explained as quickly as possible. William brought his hand up to his forehead and shook his head in disbelief. "Don't tell her, not yet anyways. I'll tell her afterwards. It'll be easier on her. We already lost one child," William explained distraughtly. The doctor nodded in understanding, "I truly am sorry." William made his way back into the room to be with his wife.

Williams' heart broke when his wife began to frantically ask why the baby wasn't crying. William motioned for the nurse to take the baby away. "Love you need to rest," William said trying to put off the inevitable. "William where are they taking him?," she asked as tears of grief began to spring forth in her eyes. William took several deep breaths before looking into his wife's eyes. "Love he… they were unable to… Dru honey I don't know how to say this…," he started to say, but his wife cut him off with her distraught shrieks. "No! William No! It's not fair! I want to see him," she screamed over and over again. She was so relentless that they doctors had to sedate her.

William hadn't wanted to do it. He had tried his hardest to care for her, but he wasn't qualified. She refused to take her medicine from him and he didn't have the heart to force her. The death of their second child had impacted her so greatly that she was now going crazy. Something inside her just broke. William had tried everything he could think of to get her better. He had suggested adopting a child, but that had enraged her so. He still remembered her screams of how inadequate she felt. This was his only hope Angelus told him. The doctors would be able to help her and he would be able to visit. He almost didn't do it when she began to wail that she would kill herself if he left her there. Angelus insisted the doctors would watch her closely and he could visit her in a week. Mournfully William got in his car and glanced at the hospital one more time before leaving.

William had barely slept all week. He had been tempted to take off work, but thought better of it. Why spend all day at home if his wife wasn't there? William had been waiting all week for Saturday to come. He merrily made his way through the stark white hallways until he found the visiting room. He watched Dru as she sat staring out one of the windows. William sauntered over to her carrying a bouquet of her favorite flower and gift bag. "Dru, sweetheart," he said as he sat down beside her. Dru looked over at him and smiled, "My William the stars told me you would visit." William smiled weakly at her then handed her the flowers, "I brought your favorite." Dru took them then inhaled their sickly sweet scent. She flashed him a quick smile then turned and began to look out the window. "What are you looking at love?," he asked. Dru pointed out towards the garden. "Look at all the children playing. There's my Charlie he's getting so big," she said as she giggled.

William had felt excited about his visit with his wife. He had hoped she would show some improvement, but no. She still insisted she saw their dead son everywhere. William left his wife with her gift of a leather bound journal and a disheartened mood. William feared his wife would never get better and she would spend the rest of her days in the drab hospital. Slowly he made his way home. What was the point of hurrying home when he would be greeted with nothing, but a cold home and empty bed.
