Chapter 2: Birth
" NO NO. It can't be it's to soon. It's to soon" Buffy sobbed, tears
rolling down her cheeks. "Shh. I know. Really I do. But I don't think
you have a choice, " Spike replied. "Can you stand up?" Buffy tried
but her legs gave out. Spike quickly scooped Buffy up, cradling her in his arms.
He walked to the bottom of the stairs and yelled up to the girls.
" Priscilla, Angelique!" The girls appeared at the top of the stairs.
" What is it daddy. What's wrong with mom?is she okay?" Priscilla asked.
"I don't know," Spike replied. " Call uncle Giles. Tell him to come
pick you up and then go to the hospital. We'll meet you there." And
with that he opened the door and hurried out to the car, a weakened
Buffy in his arms.
Spike burst through the doors to the hospital and was greeted by a
familiar nurse. "Why William what on earth is wrong?" the nurse asked.
Spike nodded towards Buffy. "I think she's gone into labor," he responded.
The nrse gave him a funny look. "Well I doubt that but if you want
we'll have a look at her." Spike followed the nurse into an exam room
where she checked Buffy out. "Dear Lord! She has gone into labor!!
We have to get her upstairs to NOW!" Spike picked Buffy back up and they headed
upstairs. "Wait.It's to early it's not possible,"Buffy cried out.
Spike held her tighter. "I'm sorry love but it is. It is."
Giles Dawn and the twins rushed in and were met by Spike. He was wearing
scrubs and he had a mask hanging around his neck. " What happened, How's
Buffy, what's going on, is the baby okay?" The questions flew at Spike
like bullets. "It's a boy. Buffy's okay but they don't know if the
baby will make it.He was born so early. They took him right away.
They didn't even let Buffy see him but I did. I saw him. God he was
so tiny. He was so tiny." he said, dissolving into tears. He collapsed
into a chair, sobbing. Angelique and Priscilla sat on their dad's
lap. "Will the baby be okay Daddy?" Angelique asked, her big eyes filling
up with tears. Spike hugged both girls. " I don't know baby. I just
don't know." Just then , the doctor walked in. " William. I need to See you in Buffy's
room, " he said. Spike nodded and got up.
Spike sat on Buffy's bed, holding her hand. After a few minutes of silence
the doctor spoke. "As you know, your son wasn't full term. When he
was born his lungs were underdeveloped and..." "Spare me the medical
crap and get to the Bloody point!" Buffy yelled. "The point would be
that as hard as we tried, we could not save your little boy. I'm sorry
but he's gone."
