The Seed Of Good and Evil Chapter 3
(Scene 1: Buffy is in the kitchen. Dawn comes in.)
Dawn: So how are you?
Buffy: My head is temporarily out of the toilet, so I guess I'm fine.
Dawn: Well, that's good breakfast conversation.
Buffy: Oh yeah, sorry. Dawn promise me you'll never get pregnant and if you do, not by a century old, British, dead guy.
Dawn: I'm pretty sure I can keep the second promise.
Buffy: Well, good enough. (Buffy starts to walk out of the kitchen.)
Dawn: Wait, where are you going?
Buffy: To the basement, to get the clothes out of the dryer. Why do you ask?
Dawn: Why don't you let me go get them?
Buffy: No, that's OK. I can do it.
Dawn: No, (Dawn steps in front of the basement door.) You're all pregnant and stuff. I think I should really pick up some of the slack. You need to get off your feet and rest up.
Buffy: Dawn, what's in the basement?
Dawn: I, I don't know what you're talking about?
Buffy: Yeah of course you don't, excuse me. (Buffy opens the basement door and goes downstairs.)
Dawn: Buffy, wait. Five, four, three, two
Buffy: DDDAAAAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNNNN!
Dawn: One.
(Scene 2: Buffy is sitting on her washing machine, Spike is standing in front of her. Dawn is standing at the bottom of the basement stairs. )
Buffy: OK, let me get this straight. You want to stay in my basement?
Spike: Yes.
Dawn: Buffy it was totally my idea. Spike was pacing outside after you came in. He didn't want to leave you alone. I thought it was sort of romantic.
Buffy: There's nothing romantic about stalking Dawn.
Spike: Hey, I wasn't stalking.
Dawn: He wasn't Buffy. I let him in and he stayed down here. It's not that big a deal.
Buffy: Oh it's a big deal, Dawn, huge.
Spike: You're right it is. I need to be here to protect you and the bit, so I'll stay down here until it's born. I don't want anything happening to you Buffy. (Spike puts his hand on her thigh.)
Buffy: Hand!
Spike: Sorry. (Spike takes his hand off her thigh.)
Dawn: It's not that bad of an idea when you think about it. (Dawn walks over to Spike and Buffy. She puts her arms around both of them.) We can be one, big, happy family. What do you think? (Spike looks at Buffy. Buffy raises her eyebrow.)
Buffy: I think not.
Dawn: Buffy come on.
Buffy: No, no, and triple no all right.
Dawn: Buffy.
Buffy: End of discussion. (Buffy hops off the washing machine.) You can go back to your layer Spike and you Dawn, I'll talk to you about this later. (She starts walking to the stairs. She grabs her stomach.) Ow, Ow.
Spike: Buffy?
Dawn: Oh, my gosh what's wrong? (Buffy tries to grab the banister, but she faints into Spike's arms.)
Spike: GET SOME HELP, NOW! (Dawn runs up the steps. He looks down at Buffy.) Buffy? Buffy? Damn it Buffy, don't do this to me.
(Scene 3: In the sewers of Sunnydale. There's a demon. His minions are around him.)
Minion 1: When master? When can we kill the slayer and her child?
Demon: Not now. When the seed is born under the blue moon then and only then we will capture it.
Minion 2: Then we'll kill it.
Demon: No, what's the use of kidnapping a key to the apocalypse if you're just going to kill it. No, no I have greater plans for that child. I will raise it and it will fight and be victorious, loyal only to me. With its power I will rule all.
Minion: Good idea, great really. Just one problem. The slayer, you don't think she's just going to let us kidnap and raise her child, I mean without attempting to kill us all.
Demon: Oh, the slayer. The slayer will be dead long before she can care. No one will stop me from taking that child, no one.
(Scene 4: Buffy is sitting up in her bed. Spike comes in.)
Spike: Knock, knock. (Buffy looks up at Spike and then looks back down. Spike walks over to Buffy and sits down next to her.) You OK?
Buffy: I'm fine and don't think this little incident means you can stay here because it totally doesn't.
Spike: Of course.
Buffy: It doesn't. (The room gets quiet. Buffy looks back up at Spike.) Are you scared?
Spike: Me? Of what?
Buffy: Never mind stupid question. (The room gets back quiet.)
Spike: (Spike rolls his eyes and then looks back at Buffy.) I worry OK, I do. I wonder if we'll be enough to protect whatever is inside of you. So I guess in a way, I do fear that.
Buffy: I don't get it. I mean I can kill demons, slay vamps, live through the end of the world, twice, but now I'm faced with an innocent, dependent little baby and I'm scared to death. What sense does that make?
Spike: Complete actually. Maybe you're not afraid of the bit itself, maybe you're more afraid of the thought of bringing this innocent child in the world and making it face all the bloody evil we face every day. Making it go through pain and heart- ache and rejection. Who wants that for someone they love with everything they have? But that's just what I think. (Spike looks away. Buffy looks up at him and slowly moves her hand over to his. He looks over at her when he feels her hand on his. They slowly move within inches of each other and kiss.)
Buffy: Hands!
Spike: Sorry. (They continue kissing.)
(Scene 5: The phone rings at Buffy's.)
Willow: I'll get it. (Willow answers it.) Hello. Oh, hi Cordilla. (Willow peeps out into the hall and sees Spike closing Buffy's door.) She's not here right now, but you can leave a message. Uh, huh, Angel, uh huh. What? (Willow gets quiet. She stands there in awe.)
Cordilla: Hello, Willow say something. Willow?
Willow: A son, wow.
