Chapter 11

Previously on Great Loss, Great Pain, New Beginnings, New Love.......

At the hospital everyone was there waiting and gasped when they saw Buffy. Mac pulled them aside and asked what happened. They repeated that she was assaulted and that she told them what happened. Mac wrote it down and put his book away. "Congratulations you will be a father soon" he put his hand on Lucky's shoulder. "Call and let us know when the baby comes and tell Buffy I will talk to her in a few days."

"Will do" Lucky said. He headed toward where Buffy was and Dr. Lee rushed her away. "What is going on" he demanded.

"She had to have a C-section" Dr. Lee said. "I checked her and she isn't dilated and we can't wait. This baby could be in distress with what she has been through. I need you to stay here" she said gently

Lucky sagged in a chair as he silently watched Lee race after them. He felt the others sit around him.

"She will be okay" Giles said. "She is strong."

"He is right my sister and this baby will be perfect" Dawn added. She bit her lip she was worried still.

Xander nodded in agreement he knew his best friend and her baby would be okay.

Soon the crowd grew that was waiting. They filled up the waiting room. And they were all waiting for news and Lucky was pacing the floor while everyone sat around silently and anxiously. Every now and then someone broke the silence.

"Lucky" Dr. Lee said as she walked up the group. Her face was neutral and Lucky held his breath, he was not sure what to make of her face. All he knew was his heart started to pound and he prayed he did not lose either one, he loved them both so much, they were his life. He stood silently and waited for her to speak her hear what she had to say.

Lucky looked at her. "Is everything okay with Buffy and the baby?" He held his breath and prayed everything would be okay.

"I was surprised because all her extensive bruising but both mother and baby are okay" Dr. Lee said. She was happy to see Lucky smiling. He really did love Buffy and his son. He had a rough few years he deserved all the happiness in the world. "She is in room 1011 you can go see her now if you want. If you others would not mind giving her a half hour to get some rest and peace and quiet."

"That is fine thank you so much, Buffy is like a daughter to me." Giles shook the woman's hand his mind full of happy images of Buffy and her new baby how they would all be a family.

"She is very lucky to have all the people she does" Dr. Lee smiled. "You can page me if she needs me or the baby needs me. But both are perfect, in fact she is looking much better. Your daughter is a strong girl."

"Thank you so much" Giles said proudly. "I know me and her sister have always felt like that and so has her best friend. By any chance did she tell you the middle name?"

"Yes she did but I was told not to tell you" Dr. Lee asked and laughed. "See you later."

When she walked away Xander groaned, "Buffy is making us wait on purpose" he said. "I want to know the little guys name. Who knew I would be excited to see a baby that Spike and Buffy made" he said and laughed.

"I know really" Dawn smiled. She was so glad to hear everything was okay.

Lulu could not wait to meet her nephew she did wonder what the full name was.

Lucky walked into the room and smiled at Buffy. "Hey you look happy" he said. He came and sat next to her on the bed. He peeked at the baby and kissed her softly on the lips. "He is a handsome little guy. So what name did you decide on?"

Buffy kissed Lucky back. She was so happy, she had her baby, Lucky, Giles her sister and Xander and Lulu as family. "His name is William Rupert Alexander Spencer" she softly. "Do you think Giles and Xander will like it? Do you want to hold your son?"

"My son" Lucky whispered. "Don't worry Spike they will be safe with me" he whispered and took the baby boy in his arms. "He is our son" Lucky said and looked up at at the sky, he meant to let him know William was both of their sons. "I am just glad you both are safe."

"Angel did not have enough time to do more damage. I am not sure why William did not get hurt but I think maybe having a mother as a Slayer and a father as as vampire is something. Giles will have to look in on it."

"Look in on what?" Giles asked as the rest of the group filed into the room. "He is beautiful Buffy" he said lovingly as he looked at the little boy. "My word he does have Spike's eyes doesn't he, and your hair."

"Yeah he does and he is the most handsome man ever" Dawn cooed at her nephew.\

"I have to agree he is one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen" Lulu smiled.

"Do you want to hold him?" Lucky asked Giles. "He is your grandson in every way that counts."

Giles cleared his throath since he got a bit chocked up. "I would love to." He took the baby in his arms. "What did you name him."

Buffy smiled at Lucky and then looked at Giles and Xander. "His name is William Rupert Alexander Spencer." She smiled softly as she saw both Giles and Alexander get a surprised look on their faces. "I mean the two men that have been there from day one since Sunnydale. And I think Spike would approve."

"I think your right" Dawn agreed. "It is the perfect name" she smiled happily.

"See babe the perfect name" Lucky said holding Buffy's hand. "I hope the next one is a girl" he laughed.

"Next one I just gave birth" Buffy said. "Give me a year before I do this again, this is harder on the body then slaying" she laughed.

"Hopefully by that time we can make it official then" he said softly and stared into Buffy's eyes. He smiled wider when he heard Lulu and Dawn gasp and then squeal quietly to each other. "Buffy Summers I am so in love with you" he said and touched her cheek. "I want you to marry and be with me forever."

"Lucky" Buffy gasped. And she saw the ring he had in his hand. "It.. it is beautiful. Are you sure you want to marry me? I mean I am not the normal wife or anything, I am not the normal woman."

"Yes I want to marry you I love the fact you aren't like other women. I love your strength you have lived through so much and you are still able to see the good in life. I want you and only you as my wife. So will you marry me?"

"Yes yes yes" Buffy said tears in her eyes. She held out her trembling hand and watched Lucky slide the ring on her finger. She kissed him softly on the lips and felt him kiss her back.

Spike and Anya watched this smiles on their faces. "If my Xander only knew what him and Dawn will be like when she is old enough" she grinned. "She will get the guy she crushed after for so long" she laughed. "And I am not jealous or posseive because I want Xander to be happy."

"I know what you mean pet" Spike said. He reached out and strocked Buffy's face in the little picture they had to see. "She is happy and he is a good man. I can trust him with her. Now we just have to wait for our other halves to get here in the end."

"Yeah we do but like you I don't want it to be to soon, let them live their life. It really won't be that long for us anyway."

"Very true" Anya said. The two friends sat down together as they watched the people they love.

That night after everyone left Buffy was sleep with William next to the bed in the bed the hospital provided. She felt someone touch her cheek and stirred. She gasped when she opened her eyes. "Spike" she whispered as tears swam in her eyes and flowed down her cheek.

"I don't have long kitten, I was allowed this. I want to say I love you and be happy with Lucky. But your mine on the other side, I will be waiting. Our son is beautiful take good care of him. I love you both so much I will be watching over you always and forever." He leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips and she kissed him back. He walked over to his son and kissed him on the head.

"Spike I love you to so much. I will always love you. I miss you and he will know about his father. His name is William Rupert Alexander Spencer."

"I like that name a good strong name. Tell Lucky that he is a lucky man. That to always care for you and always love you. Your a precious jewel and you should always be treasured."

"I will I am sure he will agree. See you soon Spike. Keep on waiting for me on the other side."

"I will always be waiting. I would wait a hundred years for you." He gave her his trademark smirk and and disappeared.

She got tears in her eyes and cried herself to sleep. They next day she did not get a chance to tell everyone about what happened. It was a busy day of getting checked out and heading home. At the house she laid on the couch and just slept off and on all day only waking when the baby needed her and was awake. She finally got a chance three days later and no one was surprised.

Soon life was in a rhythm and the wedding was getting closer. Buffy and Lucky and William were family, people saw them all over Port Charles. They were a family that all loved each other that much was obvious, even Elizabeth gave up on Lucky knowing she would never have him. Buffy still patrolled every now and then but not as often as she use to, nothing really to hunt here anyway, and no major apocalypses to stop either.

Six months had passed and it was only a week till the wedding. Next thing you know the house is full of wedding stuff and last mintue things that needed to be done. And no one could wait till the day of the wedding becasue they all wanted to see Lucky marry the woman he loves, and wanted to see Buffy marry the man she loves.
