Still Five Months pregnant.

Buffy and Angel walked past the abandoned building, talking about the recent changes in their lives. Angel had decided to take Buffy out for a walk, he knew that she hated being cooped up inside and thought she could do with the air. He had sent Spike out on patrol, however he still had a stake incase he needed it. Angel had been worried about Buffy, her Mom continued to get headaches that the doctors couldn't explain which made Buffy feel weak and useless. Angel had caught her crying the other day, he knew part of it was because of her pregnancy hormones, although he knew that she was scared for her Mom. But, everything wasn't bad because Giles had finally opened the magic shop he now owned which brought a smile to his face.

"Excuse me ?"

Buffy and Angel turned around, a man stood behind them with a glowing ball in his hands. The man rushed towards them, which made Angel put his arms protectively around Buffy's waist. However, the man looked rather old with his grey hair, Angel noticed that he was wearing a uniform aswell.

"Oh, don't worry, Im not going to hurt you. Im the night guard here, you dropped your glow-ball thingy," laughed the man, passing Angel the ball.

"I don't -"

"Thanks," smiled Buffy, nodding to the man.

"Glow balls, huh? I swear, I don't get your generation. What is that thing?" laughed the nightguard.

"I'll let you know as soon as I find out," mumbled Buffy, looking at the ball thing in Angel's hand.

The nightguard nodded and turned around, walking back into the night.

"What is it ?" asked Buffy.

Angel looked the glowing ball in his hands, he observed it carefully as he and Buffy decided to walk home.

"Its an orb, but Im not sure what for," mumbled Angel, turning the ball over in his hands.

"Giles will know. And if not, then some of his many books can tell us," grinned Buffy, taking the orb off him.

Angel snatched the orb off her.

"What ?" she questioned.

"We don't know what it is. I don't want you or my daughter nowhere near it!" replied Angel.

Buffy rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek, she loved it when he was overprotective. They walked back to their house, continuing to talk about the orb and what it was for. Angel suggested that it was paranormal as it was so shiny, although Buffy thought it had probably just been polished alot. They finally arrived home and slipped inside, they made their way upstairs. Buffy poked her head through Dawn's door, she was fast asleep and snoring rather loudly. Buffy grinned and closed the door, she made her way towards her Mothers room. Buffy poked her head through, her Mother was asleep although she was tossing and turning alot, Buffy heard her groan in her sleep. She shut the door behind her and sighed, fighting the tears that were threatening to fall. Buffy tip-toed into her room, Angel was already stripped down to his boxers and lay in bed. Buffy pulled off her shoes, jeans, jacket and top before pulling a nightie over her head.

"I wish I could help my Mom more," sighed Buffy, getting in besides Angel.

"You know she appreciates everything you do for her," whispered Angel.

Buffy nodded, wincing as the orbs light blinded her. She picked up a pink baby bib, which Dawn couldn't resist buying, and put it over the orb which dimmed the light a little.

"Love you," smiled Angel, wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Love you, too," whispered Buffy, snuggling his warm chest.

Buffy poured a glass of orange juice and placed it on the tray. She looked down at the breakfast she had made her Mom; toast, bacon, eggs, some carrot sticks in a pot and now orange juice. She, also, put a little vase with a rose in it to make it beautiful. Dawn walked into the kitchen, smiling.

"Dawn, touch nothing," said Buffy.

"Who died and made you the iron chef ?" asked Dawn, raising her eyebrow cockily.

"Look, Mom's sick and I made her a nice non-instant breakfast for once. And I don't need you -"

Buffy was cut off when she heard something smash. She looked down and noticed Dawn had knocked over the rose vase on the tray.

"Ooopsie," whispered Dawn.

"Doing that," finished Buffy, shaking her head.

Suddenly, Joyce walked into the kitchen with her blue dressing gown wrapped around her, a big smile across her face for the first time in days.

"Oh! Check out the "Pamper Mom" platter," laughed Joyce, she turned to Dawn and asked - "You two do all this?"

"Oh, Buffy helped," replied Dawn.

"I did not 'help' ..."

"I'm sure you did, whats this for anyway ?" smiled Joyce, taking a seat at the table.

"We knew you were feeling less-than-great so..." grinned Buffy.

"Yeah, the headaches they said would go away came back and brought some friends along with," mumbled Joyce, rubbing her head.

"Well, what did the doctor say?" asked Buffy.

"Oh, take four of some-pills a day and come back for tests," replied Joyce.

"So, they don't know what's wrong ?" questioned Buffy again.

"Not yet," sighed Joyce.

"Well, that's unacceptable. I think we should get a second opinion," said Buffy, hands on her hips.

"Well, we need a first opinion first, honey," chuckled Joyce.

"Okay, we'll go right now," replied Buffy, about to waddle out of the kitchen.

"Buffy, I know you're concerned, okay? But don't be. I'm still the only mom, for now. Which means I get to worry about you two. Which is a good thing because you're a pregnant Vampire Slayer. And you... you are my little punkin' belly!" laughed Joyce, pulling Dawn onto her knee.

"But, Im a Mom aswell so its a mother thing. So, I will go and wake up Angel so he can take me for your pills!" grinned Buffy, waddling out of the kitchen.

The technician handed Buffy a bottle of pills. Buffy read the label, she turned and held Angels' hand as they began to walk out.

"Buffy! Angel!"

Buffy and Angel turned around to see their doctor who had done their ultrasound the other week.

"Hey Ben!" smiled Buffy.

Suddenly, a man is pushed down on a gurney. The doctors halt it besides Ben, asking him to take a look at him. Buffy and Angel looked at the man, before looking at each other. It was the nightguard from a few weeks ago. He began to sit up and struggle, Ben pulled him back down whilst another set of doctors tighted his restraints.

"I don't belong here. I have important instructions. Fascists!" shouted the nightguard.

"Now you're hurting the nice orderly who's here to help you, "sighed Ben, he turned to the nurse. "I need nine cc's of Phenobarbital in this guy and -"

Buffy slammed the nightguard down with one arm and effortlessy held him there.

"Or not. Now lets strap him, for his own good. And not to be sexist in the workplace but you've got some serious muscle for a pregnant girl," chuckled Ben.

"Erm..." mumbled Buffy.

"She used to work out with me at the gym," smiled Angel.

"That explains it," laughed Ben.

Suddenly, the nightguard grabbed hold of Buffy's arm and looked at the bottle in her hand.

"Doesn't even help. Doesn't make a damn bit of difference!" he muttered.

Angel pulled her hand out of the man's grip, he pulled her into his chest in a protective way.

"I've met this guy. He's a security guard. He's not crazy," said Buffy.

"If you say so," mumbled Ben.

The nightguard turned back to look at Buffy, his eyes stared into her in a creepy way.

"They're coming at you. Don't think you're above it, missy. They come through the family! They get to your family!" shouted the nightguard.

"My family ? What about my family ?" questioned Buffy.

The doctors wheeled him off, Ben apologised before following them.

"Angel, what did he mean ?" whimpered Buffy.

"I don't know, honey," replied Angel, steering her towards the exit.

I know Ben is her pregnancy doctor, but maybe he could help out everywhere. So, tell me what you think ? And lets see if I can get up to 100 reviews in this post :) Oh, and was it a dissapointment to anyone that she was having a girl ? Let me know x
