Previously In The Seed Of Good & Evil
Buffy: (Buffy passes Spike an ultra sound picture. Spike stares at it.) I got it today. Apparently what ever is inside of me has a heartbeat, so that's a plus. Congratulations, you're having a, well, I'm not exactly sure.
Anya: I think what Xander was asking was what do we do with serial Dawn? Don't get me wrong I've become rather fond of her, but I could do without her chopping me into little bits.
Anya: We all have to go now.
Willow: What is it Anya?
Anya: That was Dawn. Tara is in the hospital.
Spike: I'm nobody's pet! (Spike morphs his face into a vampire.) I'm wild.
Harmony: You were pre-Buffy, but now.
Spike: Now nothing Harm. I'm still wild, got that?
Harmony: Prove it. Help me.

The Seed Of Good & Evil Chapter 9
(Scene 1: The next mourning. Tara is in her hospital bed. She is talking in her sleep.)
Tara: No, let go of her, NO! Let go. LET GO! (Willow walks over to her and sits next to her in bed.)
Willow: You're OK Tara.
Tara: No
Willow: Tara.
Tara: NO! (Tara sits up and grabs Willow's arm. She begins breathing hard.) They're coming for her, they're coming. The moon? Under the blue moon.
Willow: Tara, honey lay back down OK.
Tara: NO, NO! She's in danger. We all are. (Willow looks down.) Don't let go. (Tara hugs Willow.) Don't ever let go. (Willow has a strange look on her face.)
(Scene 2: Buffy walks into the hospital and meets Anya and Xander.)
Buffy: Any word?
Xander: Wouldn't know, Will hasn't left Tara's bedside.
Anya: But if Tara or Willow were to talk, do you think they would say Dawn had anything to do with this?
Buffy: No.
Anya: Oh, just a thought.
Xander: Buffy the opportunity and the means are there. Dawn could have done this to Tara.
Buffy: Or that hiploid Mon whatever could have. We don't know anything and I'm not jumping to conclusions until we do. I'm going to get Will some coffee or something, do you guys want anything?
Anya: A little less denial would be good.
Xander: Anya I think she meant something in liquid or fatty food form.
Anya: Oh, well in that case a water and an apple danish would be great thanks.
(Scene 3: Spike is asleep. He abruptly opens his eyes to find Harmony stroking his hand.)
Spike: Hey, hey. (Spike pulls his hand and away from her.) No, NO! Tell me we didn't.
Harmony: Oh please, you wish.
Spike: What am I. . . (He tries to sit up.) Ahhh my head. (Spike grabs the back of his head.) What in bloody hell did you do to me? (The Hiploid demon comes and stands over him.)
Hiploid demon: She did nothing.
Spike: Hey, you. Aren't you missing one large chunk of wood through you, mate?
Harmony: Thanks to me.
Spike: You're helping this thing?
Harmony: His name is Hippy, and yes I am helping him and now we have helped you.
Spike: What are you talking about?
Harmony: We've discombobulated your thing of a jig.
Spike: Come again?
Hiploid demon: Your chip, I deactivated it. You are now as dangerous as you ever have been. (Spike sits up.)
Spike: I can feed?
Hiploid demon: Feed, kill and destroy, but there is a price for your good fortune.
Spike: What do you want me to do?
Hiploid demon: I want you to give in to all your desires. Kill Spike. Kill them all.
(Scene 4: Willow comes out of Tara's room and walks over to Anya and Xander. Xander and Willow hug. Willow and Anya look at each other to hug but instead they back away.)
Xander: So how is she?
Willow: I don't know? She woke up briefly. It was so strange. She spoke in fragments. She said something was coming after someone under the moon.
Xander: Someone as in Buffy?
Willow: Most likely.
Anya: But attacking Buffy under the moon, why is that so special? The moon is always there. Does this mean they could attack her anytime, anyplace, anywhere or did her ramblings say something more specific?
Willow: They did actually. The blue moon.
Xander: That's special.
Willow: Right, we have to tell Buffy.
Anya: Oh well she should be here soon with your coffee, my danish and water and her myriad amount of denial.
(Scene 5: Buffy opens the door to come out of the cafeteria and bumps into a young doctor. She spills a coffee on him.)
Buffy: Oh my gosh. I am so sorry. (Buffy takes a napkin and starts wiping his chest.) I wasn't paying attention. (The doctor puts his hand over Buffy's and takes the napkin; Buffy retrieves her hand putting it on her stomach.) I'm sorry.
Derek: It's all right I'll live.
Buffy: Can I do something, I feel so bad. You have that huge stain on you now.
Derek: Trust me I've walked around with worst on my jacket.
Buffy: I'm disgusted and pleased at the same moment, you're good.
Derek: (Derek smiles) Are you all right?
Buffy: I'm fine. (Buffy looks on his nametag.) Dr. Kyle
Derek: Please call me Derek. (Buffy begins stroking her stomach.) Your boyfriend is probably going to want another coffee huh?
Buffy: Boyfriend, no I don't have a boyfriend.
Derek: Your baby's father, he's not around?
Buffy: He's, he's dead.
Derek: Dead, now I'm sorry.
Buffy: That makes two of us.
Derek: I really didn't mean to pry.
Buffy: It's all right. Anyway I'm just here with friends. Support, you know.
Derek: Oh. Well it was a pleasure bumping into you. . . .
Buffy: Buffy, Buffy Summers.
Derek: Buffy and hopefully next time it won't be so literal. (Buffy grimaces.) Whoa was the joke that bad?
Buffy: There's something wrong?
Derek: Is it the baby? (Buffy shakes her head.) Don't worry. I can help you. (Buffy takes Derek's hand and he leads her over to one of the hospital rooms.)
(Scene 6: Spike is getting dressed. Harmony is watching him.)
Harmony: Where do you think your going?
Spike: I'm going to find Buffy.
Harmony: In daylight?
Spike: I'll manage.
Harmony: Did what Hippy and I told you completely go over your head or are you just this unexcited about being a real vampire again? (Spike puts his jacket over his head and walks to the door.)
Spike: If anyone ask, you know nothing, and I still have a working chip in my head.
Harmony: But Spike.
Spike: But nothing. No one can know about this, no one. (Spike leaves the lair.)
(Scene 7: Buffy is lying in a hospital bed getting an ultra sound done. She and Derek are staring at the screen at the baby.)
Derek: How are the pains?
Buffy: Gone, pretty much.
Derek: Good. Hmmm (Derek looks closely at the screen. Buffy sits up a little.) That's strange.
Buffy: Horns? (Derek looks at Buffy.) Nets. Hornets. I hate hornets. Not quite bees not quite dragon flies. What are their purposes any way? I mean really they're useless insect that sting. Bad hornets, down with all hornets, that's what I say.
Derek: If you get off the hornets I'll act like that conversation never started.
Buffy: What conversation? (Derek smiles. Suddenly the room gets quiet and the baby's heartbeat goes away.)
Derek: What the heck. What happened? (Derek starts hitting the side of the monitor.) Stupid, old machinery.
Buffy: This might be a stupid question, but what did the machine do to you?
Derek: Don't you hear that?
Buffy: I don't hear anything.
Derek: That's just it. Your baby's heartbeat I think it stopped. I have to find another doctor right now. (Derek goes out in the hallway. Buffy looks at the screen and sees the baby move. She has a scared look on her face.) ************************************************************
