Thank you for all the reviews; here is the last chapter!

"How are you today my love?" Spike leaned over and kissed Cordelia passionately; she giggled and swatted his chest in fake protest.

Cordy leaned her head against his chest "Perfect" she squeezed his hand with hers then looked down into the shooting range to watch her brother move with precision, shooting faux threats with deathly accuracy.

Buffy cleared her throat and raised an eyebrow at them, they had come clean about their relationship months ago but recently they had gotten engaged causing them to act even more repulsively soppy in public.

Spike rolled his eyes then nodded towards the route that Angel was on. It was a part of their proficiency testing, which they all went through but had became rigorous for the upcoming promotions at the department.

Buffy winced a little which didn't go unnoticed, Cordelia came over to her placing her hand on her lower back "You okay?!" Buffy nodded not wanting to cause a scene; her pregnancy was coming scarily close to being over.

Angel made his way round the course and exited once he had completed the assignment, Giles patted him on the back as he was disarmed "Well done, you have some of the best scores that this department has seen in years"

He wasn't that egotistical, but when someone complimented his skills it went straight to his head. He pulled off his Kevlar vest quickly and made his way to Buffy to tell her what he had just been told.

"Buffy?" his brow descending in his usual brooding fashion, she looked a little pale and in a bit of pain "What's wrong?!" he ran his hand over her forehead which was sticky with sweat, his stomach knotted anxiously.

As Buffy took a few steadying breaths Cordelia's eyes went wide as she repeated "Oh! Oh!" everyone turned to look at her questioningly "Buffy, how long have these pains been happening?" they all turned back to the panting blonde.

Buffy laughed nervously "Uh… since this morning?" she shrugged uncertainly as Cordy gasped.

"Buffy you're in labour!" Cordelia smiled widely as the men stood there awestruck "You. Are. In. Labour! We have to get you to the hospital!"

Angel shook his head "No, she still has over two weeks till her due date… she can't be" his gaze never left Buffy as she winced in pain, he tried to convince himself that it wasn't happening right now, that it must just be Braxton-hicks or something.

"No sweetie, she's in labour!" Cordy grinned madly and clapped her hands excitedly; her niece or nephew would be here, hopefully within the day for her to spoil rotten.

Buffy gripped onto her back from where a pain just shot from, earlier she thought that her waters may have broke but couldn't tell because she had been using the toilet, frequent urination was definitely a down side.

"Let's get you to the hospital!" Angel went to move her but she cried out and shook her head "We have to move Buff" she tried to swat at him

"I cant… I cant, it hurts too much" she slowly got down on the ground, propping her back against the wall, taking deeper breaths than she previously had. She kept her eyes shut and looked like she was reciting something to herself in silence.

Angel looked to his sister in concern; Cordy took off her jacket "Buffy, I'm going to have to check on you…" the blonde shook her head profusely "Buffy. I have to check that the baby's not in distress" that stopped all protests.

Unfortunately today had been the only day in the past two month that Buffy had chosen to wear stretchy pants and not a dress. Giles left the room to give them privacy as did Spike; Angel kneeled by her side, brushing the hair away from Buffy's face.

Once her pants and underwear came off Cordelia went into doctor mode, grabbing the small first aid kit to put on gloves and examined her, she gasped "Uh guys…" both Buffy and Angel looked at her in panic "the baby is on its way and I mean like right now"

Angel went to move but stopped when Cordelia placed her hand on his shoulder "I'm sorry baby brother but she's having the little one right now and she's having it right here… it's too dangerous to move her" Buffy cried out in pain and upset.

"Grab some more of those first aid kits and some blankets" there was no way she'd make it to a hospital, the closest one was a 40 minute drive over the other side of town. Cordy made a makeshift bed out of spare blankets and tarpaulin so Buffy could shift over ever so slightly.

Giles was on the phone to the ambulance to ensure that once the baby was here that they would be taken to the hospital for examination. Spike stood helplessly in the corner of the room; he didn't know how to help at all.

"Shortly I'm going to ask you to push once you feel a contraction and only one big push at the end of every one okay?" Buffy only nodded through the pain, Cordy propped Buffy's foot on her collarbone in preparation.

Angel sat behind Buffy's back so she was resting comfortably, allowing her to grip his hand with hers. As a contraction tore through her she took a vice like grip with his hand causing him to wince as well "Push!"

Buffy pushed hard, screaming with effort and with the pain that tore through her. Angel kissed her damp hair and whispered words to calm her down, to no avail he didn't succeed.

The contractions came harder and faster, Cordelia spurred her on and began to smile as the baby crowned "Come on Buffy, push, push!" doing as she was told, she pushed as hard as she could until she felt the pressure ease off.

A loud shriek engulfed the room as their baby was born and Buffy started to cry. Cordy checked over their child immediately before handing her over to her mom.

Buffy laughed through the tears as her newborn boy was placed against her chest "Hi!" she ran a fingertip lightly over his chubby cheek, Angel stared at him in awe.

"Would you like to do the honours?" Cordy handed him a pair of scissors that she had sterilised for him to cut the umbilical cord, he took them from her and cut through the spongy membrane. Cordelia used another piece of sterile equipment to tie off the cord temporarily.

Buffy looked from her son to her lover and smiled wide; Angel had the same look on his face as she did; one of pure love. He kissed her softly as he couldn't find his words.

Cordelia took a step back and snuggled against Spikes chest, watching the new parents fall completely in love. Giles rubbed his glasses excitedly then placed them back on his face just as they heard the ambulance pull up outside.

The paramedics took a look over Buffy and her son before helping her into the back of the van; Angel went in with them and only nodded as his sister agreed to meet them at the hospital. Cordelia took care of calling their mother to let her know that she had become a grandmother.

The doctors checked over them both, considering Buffy didn't have an epidural she was in good condition and was even able to walk around fine; her exam concluded that they were able to leave that night if they wished.

Angel held his son in his arms as his sister, mother and Giles entered the room to see them all "I'd like you to meet my son…" he turned so they could look at his little angelic face. The woman let out a moan of delight at the sight of him.

Spike looked at the little bit and smirked "What you gonna call him? I think Williams nice" he smirked as Angel rolled his eyes at the suggestion.

Buffy cleared her throat as she looked at the two most important men in her life "I… I want to name him Liam, after your father… if that's okay with you?" she knew how much of a role model his father was when he was alive, she hope he liked the suggestion.

Angel swallowed hard, it had been a long ten year since he had lost his father, his idol, his reason for being who he was today, he smiled widely as he looked down at his son, he loved the idea "Yeah, he looks like a Liam"

His mother put one arm around him to give him a small hug in acceptance of the name chosen for her grandson. Cordelia done the same at the other end, and bit her lip as she looked over to Spike. He could see baby fever in her eyes; he let out a nervous laugh then took a step back.

Liam let out a cry so Angel gave him back to Buffy, the baby settled down almost immediately as he lay upon her chest "he's so perfect… he looks just like you" she kissed his forehead then kissed Angel as he leaned over the bed towards her.

Their visitors left the room to give them some more privacy, Angel played with Buffy's hair as he stared down at his son "Nah, I'd say he looks like you…" she peeked up at him then shook her head, all she could see was Angel in him.

"Angel… we have a son!" she smiled widely then cooed at Liam as he babbled up at her.

Angel kissed her hair tenderly, it still amazed him that only hours ago he was inside her tummy and now his boy was babbling and trying to look at them as they spoke to him "Yeah, we do" he grinned like a madman as he looked down at his son.

Buffy closed her eyes and sighed contentedly, she would never have imagined that her life would turn out so well and have such a perfect child. All of the pain and the hurt from the past seemed like a distant memory to her now.

Her family, yes, her family was what she lived for now, she would never let herself get into trouble like she had done in the past, that pain was gone and all she had now was happiness and love, love for Angel and for their son.
