Buffy and spike are sitting up against the head board in Buffy's room. The small baby in Buffy's arms and Spike had his long muscular arms wrapped around both of them tightly. The baby was asleep and Buffy was drifting as well until Giles opened the door into the room.
Buffy: Giles? (She said to him sleepy)
Giles: I have found a Prophecy
Spike: What Prophecy you nit (Getting annoyed that Giles interrupted him and his new family)
Buffy: Giles?
Giles: When you where with angel
(Spike growls)
Giles continues: When you where with angel, I did some reach. I thought someone had to see this coming; someone had to for see it. But the Prophecy didn't come true, even though it was a very similar case.
Buffy: Giles, I have had a baby and I am all tiredy, can you please just get out with it.
The Prophecy
Light will come from dark and dark will come from light (Light from dark being spike, and dark from light being Buffy). In which they find themselves drawn to each other, from years of heart shed will bring one night of true happiness, in which will create him and her. High breads.
In which she the strongest will be able to heal anyone en-souled creature. She will grow very fast.
But then there is he. They can never touch, or meet. He brings death to everyone he touches.
(Buffy interrupts)
Buffy: Is that why she tried to… eat me?
Giles: Yes I believe so, but in doing so she would of just been healing you at the same time. Its very lucky willow got to you in time to see what was happening.
Spike: What does the rest say?
Giles: I'd rather not.
Buffy: Please Giles?
Giles: We are going to have to kill him Buffy
Buffy: What, but, he, no.
Giles: If you give birth to him he will kill you.
Spike: How will we, stop him?
Buffy: What no (She looking at Spike) Spike we can't, he's, he's, he's our son.
Spike: Yeah but he's going to kill you.
Giles: Worse than that, he will turn you first.
Buffy: What?
Spike: Hes a vampire. (He said blankly)
Giles: Yes.
Spike: Rupert can we have a minute.
Giles and willow leave the room. Spike turns to Buffy.
Buffy: Spike don't I have made up my mind.
Spike: Buffy this thing will kill you, why do you have to be so bloody stubborn!
Buffy: You have no idea what I am going through.
Spike: So what, you going to die so your child can live. Then I am stuck here without you, with two children wondering what the hell I am doing.
(Buffy doesn't say anything and looks away from him)
Spike: Buffy please.
Buffy: Why do you even care?
Spike: Because I love you.
Buffy: Let's explore that shall we,
Spike: Ok explore away.
Buffy: When you first told me you loved me you chained me up and threaten to kill me. When I died and came back you only wanted my body.
Spike: Do you think that's all that was?
Buffy I, please let's just leave it.
Spike: No let's hold on here. (He looked at her and then looked away towards the door of Buffy's bedroom, unable to look her in the eyes) Buffy I would be perfectly happy staring across a room from you, and talking. I would be perfectly happy just holding you and watching you sleep. I will never let you fall; I wouldn't be able to stand it. I will stand up for you forever, because where else would I rather be. I'll be there through it all because, because you're my true love, my whole life please don't through that away. I don't know what I would ever do without you. Please Buffy, if you got hurt I don't know what I would do. I love you.
Buffy: I…
Spike: Please don't say it again until you mean it.
Buffy: But i… (Trying to tell him how she feels)
Spike: Buffy please (He looked her in the eyes; he could tell she was holding back tears. Spike reached out and touched her chin with his finger.)
Life, Buffy realized, is much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile. Buffy did love him she just had to give herself some time to prove it. Because after all they had been through Spike doubted there relationship and all she wanted to do was tell him it was all going to be ok. But she had to prove it to him first.
After a long while of staring into each other's eyes, Buffy knew what she had to do. She loved Spike. But she loved the baby inside her too, even though it was slowly killing her. Was she mental or just born to be something other than a slayer? A mum?
Buffy: Giles? (She called very loudly)
After several moments and some thudding on the stairs Giles appeared at her bedroom door.
Giles: Yes Buffy?
She took a death breath and turned her head from Spike to Giles. She knew what she had to do. Buffy looked down at Sarah in her arms, and let out a small smile before looking at Giles.
(Her smile faded)
Buffy: What would I have to do?
