Disclaimer: I don't own the characters. I did come up with Angelique,
Priscilla, and the little boy so I guess I own them. I don't own the
song that's in this chapter.
Chapter 3: Death
Buffy let out a loud sob and buried her head in Spike's shoulder and a
single tear rolled down Spike's cheek. "I want to see him," Buffy's muffled
voice said. "Buffy I don't think you're ready. You can't even walk yet,"
the doctor said. "I'll carry her then. We want to see our baby," growled
Spike. The doctor sighed and nodded. Spike scooped up Buffy and the
doctor to where they could see their little boy.
Spike and Buffy followed the doctor into a cold room. The doctor stopped
them at a table where a tiny form lay covered with a blanket. Spike
set Buffy on her feet and held onto her waist, supporting her weight.
He nodded and the doctor carefully pulled the sheet off of the baby's
face. When Buffy saw the baby she gasped. He was so tiny, so delicate.
His little body looked like it would break with a single touch. "Can
we still name him?" Buffy asked, tears falling from her eyes. The doctor
nodded. "Then it's William." Spike turned to look at her. "Are you
sure sweetheart?" Buffy nodded. Spike gently kissed her forehead.
She kissed two of her fingers and gently touched William's forehead.
Spike did the same, letting a few tears slip down his cheeks. "We love
you William." Buffy couldn't handle it anymore. She collapsed into
Spike's arms and sobbed. He picked her up again and headed towards
her room. After making sure Buffy was safe, Spike went to go tell
everyone.
When Spike walked towards him, Giles knew instantly that something
was wrong. Looking from Spike's tearstained face to his soaked shirt, Giles
asked,"What happened?" Spike shook his head. "His name was William.
He's gone. He was just to small. He couldn't make it." Priscilla and
Angelique rushed into their father's arms, tears clouding their vision.
" Why daddy? Why us? It's always us that has bad things happen. Why?"
asked Priscilla. Spike hugged the girls. "I don't know why. I don't know."
Dawn covered her face with her hands, crying. Giles tried to control
himself. "I'm so sorry Spike," he said. Then his tears fell too.
1 Week Later
At the funeral, friends and family gathered just after sunset to say
goodbye to little William. As they all stood beside the small grave,
Buffy wept openly. Everyone was crying. As Angelique stepped towards
the grave, Spike looked distant. His beautiful icy blue eyes were
almost glazed over as he held Buffy tenderly. He looked at Angelique
asshe began to sing, and his eyes glistened with tears as he listened
to her sweet voice.
Amazing grace How sweet the sound
That save'd a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hop secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall posses within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call'd me here below,
Will be forever mine.
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound,
That sav'd a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.
As Angelique finished, she cried freely. Buffy looked at her two beautiful
Daughters and wonderful husband and realized how lucky she was to
have them. She reached down and gently touched the casket. " Goodbye
William. I'll always love you," she said. Spike hugged her as she turned
away. He did the same as Buffy but whispered something nobody could
hear.
As everyone left, Buffy pulled Spike aside. "When you went up there,
you said something. What?" Spike hesitated. "I said 'I need you to
be your mother's guardian angel. She needs you to be there for her in
some way. And now you can meet your Grandma Joyce. Tell her hello
for me. I love you and I always will'. That's all I could think to
say." Buffy hugged him. "That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard,"
she whispered. Spike kissed her forehead. "I love you,"he said.
"I love you too,"she replied. Spike put a hand on either side of
Buffy's face and gently kissed her lips.He dropped his hands. "We're
gonna be okay sweety. We're gonna be okay." Buffy held his hand and
nodded. Then as they were walking towards the car Buffy took one last
look back. She blew a kiss towards the grave. "Goodbye my baby."
THE END
Priscilla, and the little boy so I guess I own them. I don't own the
song that's in this chapter.
