William Andrew Morris
CHAPTER FOUR
Buffy was tapping her fingers on the arm of her chair in the hospital waiting room. Xander, Anya, Willow and Tara were there, Spike was not.
"Where the hell is he?" Buffy shouted in frustration, no body had to ask who she was talking about.
"I-I'm sure he'll be here soon." Tara offered.
"Well I want him here now." Buffy pouted like a small child.
As if on cue Spike came flying threw the doors to the maternity ward, five faces just stared at him.
"Where's the fire Spike?" Xander mocked when Spike realized he hadn't missed anything.
"Well I thought child birth was meant to be quick these days?" Spike asked truely believing his words. His friends just laughed at him.
"Ok then I haven't missed anything, is Dawn ok?"
Buffy smiled at him, it was these times she saw the humanity in him. When he was worried about Dawn, that was when Spike showed how much he had changed.
"Dawn is fine, we've got a while yet. Just like a mini Dawn to be slow." Buffy told him softly, her eyes filled with affection.
"Ok." was all Spike could manage in answer.

FIVE HOURS LATER
Spike leant against a wall outside the hospital building, dragging on his cigarette. He was worried for Dawn, he knew that babies could take a while but he couldn't help thinking back to Victorian child birth.
"You ok? You've been hiding out here most of the night." Buffy said as she approached the brooding vampire.
"I'm fine really."
"No don't give me that mister, I know when your upset you get all broody."
"I sodding well don't." Spike sighed and chnged his defensive tone, "I'm worried what if something happens to the Nibblet I can't help her with this and I'm worried."
Buffy felt like laughing, Spike was so dramatic sometimes.
"She's fine, I just spoke to the nurse they think I'll be another three hours or so. You've read the books you should now how safe it is now."
Buffy noticed Spike looked embarrassed, "How did you know I'd read those books?" He asked meekly.
"Spike you stole them from me, and you forget I know everything." Buffy stated plainly, they both laughed. They felt comfortable together, this was how it should always be.
"Spike you wanna a hug?" Buffy muttered.
"No thanks love."
They made there way back inside.

FOUR AND HALF HOURS LATER
"Ms Summers you can go in and see your sister now, I think she has someone to introduce to you." The nurse said smiling, "You can all go in as long as you don't over crowd." She added noticing the eager looks on the gangs faces.
Buffy, Spike, Xander, Anya, Williow and Tara made there way into Dawn's hospital room. The first thing they saw was the tiny person who was the latest addition to the Scoobie gang, it made them all want to cry.
"Dawnie, he's so beautiful and so little." Buffy forced out trying not to cry all over her new nephew.
"Yeah he'd so cute, just like his auty Anya." Anya added smiling insanely.
"Done a good job there Nibblet, what ya calling him then?" Spike asked him self pushing the tears away.
Dawn looked at her baby and then looked back up at the gang, "William Andrew Morris."
Spike stared at her in amazement, he knew that this little bit was named after him and it made him so proud. He barely even noticed the way Buffy was looking at him. She reached up and kissed him on the cheek, he didn't move he just looked at Dawn and baby William.
